I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1663 - 1667: I Believe My Sister Will Be Very Happy With Him
"Dear Brother, I see your hair is dry and your complexion haggard. Here's a Six-Flavored Rehmannia Pill I've concocted. It can keep you invigorated on the battlefield!"
"Is this stuff really that magical?" The Prince, who appeared somewhat indulgent at first glance, suddenly lit up.
"If it's fake, I'll refund you. Come back anytime after you've used it up."
"Great, great!" The Prince chuckled so hard his cheeks almost sagged. "Brother-in-law, you're too generous. Meeting for the first time and giving such wonderful gifts, I truly feel unworthy. We must drink a few more cups at tonight's wedding feast!"
Zhang Menglong moved on to the next Prince, who looked at the gifts in the others' hands, showing a suffering expression.
"Gu Xiao, my third sister and I are the closest. Today, no matter what you present, I will stand by her. You can't bribe me!" The Prince's expression was surprisingly stern, but his wavering gaze showed his lack of confidence.
"In that case, it's a pity for this Divine Breath Spirit Pill," Zhang Menglong shook his head and sighed.
"Hold on!" The Prince's ears even twitched at these words. "Say it again, what?"
"Nothing much, just an ordinary elixir."
"I heard you! You said you have a Divine Breath Spirit Pill, which can make a Martial Artist below the Seventh Grade breakthrough a grade in no time. Apart from being restricted to one per person, it has no side effects. In our Yanlan Empire, no one can craft such a thing. Do you have it?"
"By chance, I have one." Zhang Menglong took out the pill, which made several Princes envious.
"It's a pity that the Prince and Third Princess have a deep bond. It seems I surely won't pass today."
"Well, it's negotiable." The Prince immediately put on a smiling face.
"After thinking carefully, my sister is not young anymore, it's time for her to marry. All we brothers want is for her to lead a good life. Her happiness is most important."
"But you just said..."
"Hahaha, my core intention was my sister's happiness. Now it seems, you are the only one who can give her happiness. I don't trust anyone else. Today, go boldly. If anyone doubts your worthiness, let them come to me. This brother-in-law, I'm determined to have today."
"Hahaha, among family, why speak as outsiders do?" Zhang Menglong slid the pill into the Prince's hand. "This is just a small gift. Thank you, dear Brother, for your acknowledgment of me."
...
Zhang Menglong delivered the pre-prepared gifts one by one. Whether it was high-level Cultivation Techniques, high-level martial arts, high-grade pills, or weapons.
What he prepared were things these Princes might never obtain in their lifetimes, even rare across the entire Yanlan Empire. In the face of such gifts, the Princes who previously swore they wouldn't let Gu Xiao in immediately caved.
It's not that they lacked integrity, nor did they care less about their sister, the Third Princess. It's just that Gu Xiao gave too much!
"Where did he get all these things?"
In the distance, other Gu Family members in the bridal escort were confused, especially Gu Meng and his son, Gu Qiufeng.
First was the incredible bridal entourage, a parade capable of taking a nation if no Divine Cultivators intervened, an unimaginable expenditure of resources.
Now, Gu Xiao was pulling treasures like magic. These items were rare even for the Gu Family.
Divine-level Cultivation Techniques, which the Gu family passed down generationally, were rare, only available to direct family members.
Only Gu Meng's generation and siblings could learn it. Those like Gu Qiufeng had no right even to glance at it.
It's no exaggeration to say that if such a Cultivation Technique appeared at a Yanlan Empire auction, it would cause a mad scramble.
Yet, Gu Xiao had given out at least three copies. In his hands, Divine-level techniques seemed as common as cabbages. But where did he get so many top-level techniques?
Not to mention the Ninth Grade pills and weapons, handed out like they're free. Even Gu Meng hadn't enjoyed such pills. His weapon was only Eighth Grade high-level.
"Where on earth does this wastrel get all this stuff?" Gu Meng was heartbroken inside. If only these were his!"
"Father, who exactly is his mysterious friend?" wondered Gu Qiufeng. He was sure Gu Xiao couldn't manage that alone, likely the work of his enigmatic friend.
"Nonsense, do I look like I know?" Gu Meng grumbled, "What kind of monster did this boy meet? A senior Artifact Refiner or Alchemist? But he shouldn't have had an opportunity to meet such people."
"Yes, if they were so powerful, they'd want something in return. He has nothing valuable to offer."
...
All the princes had received their benefits, now beaming with joy, having long forgotten any promises to the Third Princess.
It's not that they were completely opportunistic, but if Gu Xiao had such gifts, it meant he was capable.
Whether his ability was his own or borrowed from others, it counted as his ability!
If the Third Princess were to marry a nobody, they wouldn't agree. But now, even if Gu Xiao were a nobody, he's not an ordinary nobody; he's a high-grade nobody!
"May I ask if you're all satisfied with my performance?"
"Satisfied, surely satisfied. Gu Xiao, so talented and generous, a paragon among men. My sister will certainly be happy with you."
"Indeed, I feel like we hit it off immediately. Want me to help you bring out the Bridal Escort?"
"Yes, yes, we'll help together."
"No need," Zhang Menglong shook his head. "Just ease the way. Two more challenges before I wed the Princess."
"True, but Brother-in-law, the second challenge isn't as easy," a Prince warned. "We mostly stick to literature, not fond of cultivation, but the second challenge has some brawny folks. They're tough to handle."
"Yes, Brother-in-law, they'll try dueling you. If you're unprepared, avoid it to prevent injury. We can introduce other sisters to you."
"You scoundrel, trying to offer your own sister on the sly?"
"Yeah right, who doesn't have sisters? Gu Xiao, want to meet mine?"
