THE MARTIAL KING VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 63

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.

Brent smiled as he put a bunch of scrolls in front of the young lady. Giggling like a child, he said, “I’ve received so many scrolls today!”

When the young lady saw the scrolls, she became even angrier. The life vitality in her hand fluctuated, and then a blazing flame shot out. Soon enough, all the scrolls in front of her were in danger of catching fire.

When Brent noticed what Margaret was trying to do, he pointed at the space in front of him and it suddenly distorted. Although Margaret was shooting the fire directly towards the scrolls, not a bit of it touched its target.

“This is the mission that uncle gave me. You should at least let me finish what I’m going to say,” Brent said, with an annoyed expression now.

With that, Margaret coldly snorted and closed her eyes once again. With a deep breath, she whispered, “Okay, then. Continue with your nonsense!”

Brent acted like he was doing his usual routine. He picked up a scroll and slowly unfurled it in front of Margaret Xi. There was a handsome man drawn into it, and a poem was written beside the man.

“The person in this painting is Aaron of the Ethereal City. His cultivation base is at the middle stage of Internal Elixir Realm! Wow! He has already become a leader even at such a young age…” Brent announced with a smile.

“Next,” Margaret said expressionlessly, her eyes still closed.

“The person in the next scroll painting is Saint Omar, the elder of the Illusion God Sect. He is thirty-one years old.”

“Literally next.”

“This scroll painting…”

The process continued, and after a few minutes, Brent was able to introduce all the men drawn in the scrolls one by one. After he finished, he just smiled resignedly and said: “Are you interested in any of these men?”

“No,” replied Margaret flatly. It didn’t seem like she had given it any thought. In fact, this sort of boring conversation had been repeated a hundred times during this month. Brent Xi introduced different men to Margaret Xi three times every day, and he had already read thousands and thousands of names of notable men! But Margaret Xi still hadn’t picked anyone to get married to.

Brent didn’t mind Margaret’s disinterest and instead laughed heartily. “If you are not interested in any of them, then we have to wait until tomorrow! I truly wonder when you’d get married!”

Upon hearing these words, Margaret’s eyes flew open, her face red with rage. She then scolded at the gentleman in front of her, though with a smile. “You are really so annoying. Don’t tease me like that every day!”

Indeed, everyone wanted to marry Margaret Xi, the lady of the Xi Clan, the person who had the Purple Power Body.
The whole Xi Clan was truly starting to get anxious. Eddie’s ambition was known to everyone all over the Central Region, and the members of all the sects were paralyzed with fear of the incoming danger. The Ethereal Spirit Sect’s prosperity was closely related to the Xi Clan, and if the Ethereal Spirit Sect fell, the Xi Clan would also be in trouble.

The most important thing for Eddie right now was to make the Lustful Demon Array. Eddie had been waiting for decades to form this Array, but in the end, he had no choice but to delay setting it up as Marilyn had been killed.

But the Xi Clan had a lady with the Purple Power Body—Margaret. How could they not be nervous and upset?

A while ago, they found out that a spy from the Heavenly Evil Sect had sneaked into the city. They said that the Heavenly Evil Sect members had set their eyes on Margaret Xi, which caused the entire Ethereal City to be in an uproar. 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.
