Chapter 97
“I’ve come on someone’s behalf to propose to you.”
Nan Wenmo looked at the young girl before her with a playful smile.
In Nan Wenmo’s eyes, there was a hint of amusement, as if she was curious to see how the girl would react upon hearing that she was there to arrange a marriage proposal for her.
Zhu Cici blinked gently, her smile soft and warm. “How rare, Sister Nan, for you to come and propose on someone else’s behalf. Truly surprising. I wonder who could have persuaded you, Sister Nan, to act as a matchmaker?”
Nan Wenmo’s eyes curved in a smile, her hands clasped behind her back. “Who else could it be? It’s the Xu family of Minghai County in Qi. We can’t afford to disregard the Xu family’s request. They’ve specifically asked me to act as the matchmaker for their eldest son. You must have heard of him—Xu Ban.”
Zhu Cici paused for a moment. “I think I’ve heard of him.”
“Of course, you’ve heard of him,” Nan Wenmo chuckled.
“Xu Ban is a Heavenly Spirit Root and has been chosen by the Shanhai Sect, the foremost sect in Qi, as the head disciple of its sect master. He’s one year older than you and is now a Sea Observation Realm cultivator, ranked twelfth on the Qingyun List.
“In terms of talent, you have a Natural Literary Spirit, while he possesses a Heavenly Spirit Root. Although a Natural Literary Spirit is even rarer than a Heavenly Spirit Root, the difference isn’t significant.
