Apotheosis

At that moment, a series of knocks came from the door of the small courtyard.

Upon hearing this, the young lady frowned and rolled her eyes. At first, she was unwilling to get up and open the door, but the person kept on knocking, as if he himself was unwilling to stop unless she opened the door. And with that, she took a deep breath, and said, "Come in!"

The gate to the courtyard was pushed open, and three people entered. The one in the lead was a young man whose eyes were very bright. He had a faint smile on his face. Quickly, he moved towards the young girl, passing through the screen. When he came upon her, he said sweetly, "Margaret." His eyes were twinkling.

The young lady opened her eyes, looking morose. She stared angrily at the young man and said, "Brent, can you walk normally?"

This young man, whose full name was Brent Xi, was a divine-level talent from the Ethereal Spirit Sect. He became a member of the Xi Clan by virtue of adoption. Since he grew up in the Xi Clan's castle, he had a very close relationship with everyone in the clan, but especially with the young lady in front of him.

Rumor had it that the Heavenly Evil Sect was planning to attack the Ethereal City just to get to Margaret Xi.

The few big clans of the Ethereal City immediately went over to the Xi Clan's house in hopes that the Xi Clan had already found a man for Margaret Xi to get married to as soon as possible. Amidst the high-tension nature of their predicament, everyone still talked to the members of the Xi Clan about this matter in a friendly way because of Xander. Without him, they would have immediately taken Margaret Xi away.

To put it bluntly, there were only two ways for Margaret Xi to choose to resolve the problem—she either could marry someone as soon as possible or she had to be killed. Under no circumstance could she be caught by Eddie.

With those as their only choices, the whole Xi Clan started to feel pressured.
