Chapter 184
Listening to Malakai’s arrogant laughter, Alistair’s face turned blacker than charcoal.
He looked at Alex, who wore a face full of innocence to the side. Wishing he could rip this good brother’s mouth clean off.
What the fuck did you have to bring up? You just had to touch the sorest spot possible!
Back when Knox showed up to snatch the bride, Alistair had gone to great lengths to gag the mouths of every guest present. Preventing this matter from leaking out.
And now Alex had gone and spilled the beans. The whole fucking thing was exposed.
Now that Malakai, this massive loudmouth, knew about it, in less than two days the entire Heavenly Flame Dynasty would know all about it.
"Saint Lord Malakai, don’t laugh." Alex said with a straight face.
"The fact that Knox could escape from the Blackwood Family Holy Land is absolutely not to blame on Brother Alistair’s incompetence. It was truly Destiny causing mischief."
"Here, I will just tell you the simplest thing."
"The Ashen family prodigy, Brina. Known as a once-in-fifty-years genius of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. Innately capable of communicating with spirit beasts. Extremely excels in beast-taming techniques."
"The Vire family Patriarch’s daughter, Leona. Known as the number one talented woman of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. Enters the Dao through poetry. Accomplished in both the pen and the sword. Peerless in both talent and beauty."
"These two women both reached this Realm at a young age."
"They can be called the most outstanding young talents among the younger generation of the Saint Lineages, right?"
"Of course." Malakai nodded without hesitation.
"Especially since they are both female family members. The resources they received since childhood definitely couldn’t match the males of the family. To achieve such results is even more commendable and rare."
"Even the Heavenly Flame Empress Aurelia from back then, known as the Heaven’s Proud Daughter, was no more than this at their age."
"Looking across the entire Heavenly Flame Dynasty, including our three families, I’m afraid we might not necessarily find a third female with such formidable strength and aptitude."
"Exactly." Alex narrowed his eyes and said deeply.
"Two brothers, today we borrow wine to speak our hearts and treat each other with utmost sincerity. Let us open the skylight to speak honest words and hide absolutely nothing."
"Brina Ashen and Leona Vire, although they are women, are highly likely to become the mainstays of the Ashen and Vire families in the future. Even inheriting the position of Saint Lord."
"Whoever can forge a connection with them in advance will have made an investment that yields ten thousand times the profit."
"Your two families definitely started scouting for candidates early on. Planning to propose an alliance of marriage with the Ashen and Vire families, correct?"
Alistair and Malakai remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Alliances of marriage between the major Saint Lineages were a very common occurrence. Generally speaking, regardless of whether it was the man or the woman, it was usually the family with weaker power proactively proposing to the family with stronger power.
The Blackwood family and Sol family sat firmly in the second and third positions within the circle of Saint Lineages. Second only to the Hale family.
If it weren’t for the fact that Brina and Leona’s talents were truly far too monstrous, how could they possibly lower their status and harbor thoughts of a marital alliance with the Ashen and Vire families?
Although this matter was relatively embarrassing, everyone was doing it. So no one explicitly brought it out into the open.
Having it laid on the table by Alex today, they had no choice but to helplessly admit it.
"Brother Alex, to tell you the truth, I actually planned to have my son form a marital alliance with Brina Ashen." Alistair laughed awkwardly.
"However, my son is a bit older. His cultivation hasn’t progressed much."
"Since Miss Brina looked down on him, we didn’t go propose."
Malakai also laid his cards on the table. "I originally planned to have Drax, the most outstanding prodigy among the younger generation of my Sol family, form a marital alliance with Leona Vire."
"However, the Vire family is a scholarly family, and Leona is the number one talented woman of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty."
"She once said that if she were to find a partner, she must find a talented scholar full of poetry and books in his heart."
"While my family’s Drax has cultivation on par with the Talented Miss Leona, he is obsessed with martial arts. Despises wielding the pen and playing with ink."
"Even if we went to propose to the Vire family, I’m afraid we would only be bringing humiliation upon ourselves."
Alex nodded with a satisfied smile. "For the two brothers to speak so frankly and straightforwardly, this foolish brother is extremely moved."
"To tell you the truth, I actually also set my designs on these two prodigy talented women long ago."
"The son of my Hale family’s First Elder, Lucas, and the disciple of the Third Elder, Erik. They are the two most outstanding prodigies of the entire clan."
"I was only waiting for the day their talents materialized and their cultivation achieved success. Then I would simultaneously go propose to both the Ashen and Vire families."
Alistair and Malakai instantly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
So you are the one who is truly greedy. Coveting the daughters of both families at the same time!
"However, unfortunately." Saying this, Alex sighed again and shook his head.
"Now, there is no need for that."
Alistair and Malakai revealed looks of confusion. "Why?"
"Because both of these Heaven’s Proud Daughters simultaneously fell in love with a poor brat who possesses neither background nor strength." Alex asked with a faint smile.
"Take a guess. Who is this poor brat?"
Malakai was silent for a moment. Then said weakly. "It couldn’t... be that Knox, right?"
"Exactly." Alex nodded. "Furthermore, I can responsibly tell you that their feelings for Knox are not a little girl’s momentary impulse. But a very serious pursuit."
"For Knox’s sake, the two of them nearly got into a fight. They can even completely disregard their own families’ interests."
"Knox is not a disciple of a Saint Lineage. Yet tomorrow he possesses the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Flame Secret Realm. Which is entirely thanks to those two women."
"All of this was witnessed with my own eyes just a moment ago; there is absolutely no falsehood."
