Xu Xiao was speechless and extremely embarrassed.
They originally hoped to use Xu Weixiong to forcibly bind Ye Fan, and then with Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Human World, the Northern Cold would surely rise.
But who would have thought that this martial saint of the mortal world wouldn't even look at his daughter?
Yuan Tiangang and Qi Tianchen exchanged glances, a helpless smile playing on their lips. Even the Northern Cold King Xu Xiao's personal intervention couldn't persuade them...
Their identities are even more difficult to ascertain…
Ye Fan turned to leave, but Xu Xiao, seeing that Ye Fan was about to go, did not intend to give up and suddenly called out, "Young Master Ye, please wait!"
Ye Fan stopped and turned around, looking calmly at Xu Xiao kneeling on the ground: "Does the King of Beihan have anything to say?"
Xu Xiao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Young Master Ye, I'll kneel until you agree!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and said, "King of Northern Cold, what you are doing is improper!"
"Hmph, the Lord of the Northern Cold never kneels before anyone!"
Xu Xiao finished speaking and continued kneeling!
"Is the King of Northern Cold really not afraid of losing face?" Ye Fan asked.
"My reputation can't compare to yours!" Xu Xiao said.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang and Qi Tianchen knelt down without backing down and said in unison, "We beg the Martial Saint of the Mortal World to grant the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty the marriage decree!"
Ye Fan frowned and said, "I've already said it, it has nothing to do with me. I've never needed any prince consort. I love freedom!"
“Young Master Ye, although my daughter cannot compare to the princess of the capital, she is still one of the most beautiful women in Beihan. After she marries you, she will never pester you and may even help you accomplish some things…” King Xu Xiao of Beihan said earnestly.
"Oh, what is it? I won't do anything..." Ye Fan shook his head without hesitation and turned to go back to his room!
"Bang!" The door slammed shut, and Xu Xiao nearly collapsed. Yuan Tiangang and Qi Tianchen also looked helpless...
The three of them looked at each other.
Xu Xiao said calmly, "General Bu Liang, Grand Preceptor Qi, you should go back now!"
Qi Tianchen did not get up. Looking at Xu Xiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "May I ask what the Northern Cold King will do next?"
Xu Xiao sneered, "I, Xu Xiao, have roamed the world for half my life and have never bowed my head. Today, for my daughter's lifelong happiness, I will risk my life! Since the words have been spoken, I will kneel until Young Master Ye agrees..."
He knew Ye Fan hated being called the Martial Saint of the Mortal World, so he changed it to a title he liked!
He knew Ye Fan didn't want to reveal his strength, so he could only cooperate. As for the marriage, as long as he was sincere, Ye Fan would definitely agree!
But his gaze fell on Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang beside him... one was the Chief of the Bad Boys of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was the Grand Preceptor of the Tang Empire!
However, they are still a bit inferior to him. If Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty came, he might be a little afraid, but he doesn't take these two seriously at all. Even if they join forces, it would be in vain!
"Sigh..." Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes...
Xu Xiao's stubbornness put them in a difficult position. The Northern Cold King had already knelt down, so how could they not?
Staring at the tightly closed door, Xu Xiao, Qi Tianchen, and Yuan Tiangang remained silent for a long time, kneeling there quietly...
Ye Fan entered the room and sat by the back window, avoiding the three people!
He opened a jar of wine and took a sip, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "Want me to be his son-in-law? Wishful thinking!"
Ye Fan hadn't expected the three to be so persistent. Sensing that they showed no signs of leaving, he chose to cultivate in the room...
This kneeling lasted for three days and three nights!
Xu Xiao was numb at this moment, but Yuan Tiangang and Qi Tianchen were still okay; they would occasionally look up at the tightly closed door!
After all, he was only a second-rank martial artist. Three days and three nights without food or water, he was about to give up…
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he gasped, feeling weak all over and unable to move, and fainted...
………………
Inside the Liangchan Temple, the monk Nagarjuna sat cross-legged on a futon, silently chanting Buddhist mantras. He was surrounded by a pale golden aura, and his whole being seemed to be bathed in a layer of golden light, like a deity descended from heaven, with a solemn and dignified appearance!
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked into the void in surprise, and exclaimed, "The Northern Cold King Xu Xiao has actually fainted?"
"He has never admitted defeat in all these years!"
"This time, however, they knelt outside for three days and three nights..."
"King Xu Xiao of the Northern Cold is truly cunning. Using this method to force Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, to agree to the marriage with his daughter, is a brilliant move..."
"Unfortunately, a Martial Saint in the mortal realm is not someone to be trifled with..."
"Matters of love are about mutual consent; trying to do things this way will only backfire..."
The monk Nagarjuna sighed softly, then slowly uttered three words, "Amitabha!"
He continued to sit cross-legged and entered a meditative state once more!

Inside an inn in Wudi City!
Wang Xianzhi sat leisurely at the table, holding a pot of liquor and pouring himself a drink. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "Mmm, good liquor! It truly lives up to its reputation as a century-old vintage. The taste is absolutely amazing!"
"Glug..." He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, a look of contentment on his face...
"The Butcher Xu Xiao actually fainted?"
"Incredible!"
"As far as I know, Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Cold, never admits defeat!"
"But he actually knelt before Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal World, for three days!"
"That's truly impressive courage!"
After finishing his drink, Wang Xianzhi let out a comfortable sigh.
"I wonder if Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, will agree to this marriage. After all, given his personality, he might resist at all costs, which could really lead to someone's death!"
Thinking about this, Wang Xianzhi felt more and more that Ye Fan was someone who didn't play by the rules...
...............
Wang Chonglou, the head of Wudang Mountain, and Hong Xixiang were drinking tea when they looked at the Chumen System. When they saw Xu Xiao, the Northern Cold King, who had fainted on the ground, their eyes were filled with shock!
Wang Chonglou sighed, "This does fit the temperament of Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Cold. He's indeed like an ox—stubborn and headstrong..."
Hong Xixiang said with a look of doubt in his eyes, "Senior brother, this time is probably different. He knelt in front of Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal World. He is forcing Ye Fan to agree to marry his daughter, Xu Weixiong!"
"Hehe, King Xu Xiao of the Northern Cold is determined to marry Xu Weixiong to Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal World!" Wang Chonglou shook his head and laughed. "If Ye Fan doesn't agree, I'm afraid this King Xu Xiao of the Northern Cold will refuse to leave!"
Hong Xixiang pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the Northern Cold King Xu Xiao has fainted, do you think the Martial Saint Ye Fan will agree?"
Wang Chonglou laughed and said, "The thoughts of a martial saint in the mortal realm are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people! Who knows?"
"Regardless, Xu Xiao was a formidable figure!" Hong Xixiang said. "He's already fainted? If the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm really doesn't agree, it might damage the prestige of the Northern Cold King!"
Wang Chonglou laughed and said, "Xu Xiao, the Butcher of Men, has he ever cared about his own reputation?"
“This…” Hong Xixiang was stunned, and then fell silent.
"Although the Butcher Xu Xiao is domineering, he is indeed a man of honor and worthy of respect..." Wang Chonglou sighed softly, "I hope the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm will agree, otherwise Xu Xiao will probably be heartbroken!"
Yes, a person who is willing to risk his life would not care about fame, especially since that fame was given to him by others!
Hong Xixiang was deeply moved and nodded in agreement with his senior brother's words...
…………
Outside Snowmoon City, the grass is lush and green, and the sunlight shines on the verdant lawn!
A gentle breeze swept by, sending up a flurry of white blossoms that danced in the air, like a dream!
Xu Weixiong, dressed in military uniform, looked at Xu Xiao in the void, who had knelt before Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, for three days and three nights without sleep, all for the sake of her marriage. Her eyes flickered with a complex expression...
Her heart was filled with emotion, and at that moment, she wished she could rush up to help him up and take him back to Beihan.
But she was truly powerless and could only watch helplessly as her father sacrificed so much for her marriage…
Xu Xiao, the dignified King of Northern Cold and the Butcher, such a domineering person, was willing to kneel down in order to make Ye Fan marry him. What a sacrifice that was!
Xu Weixiong was deeply moved. Her beautiful face was filled with gratitude, her eyes welled up, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably…
She was even more worried about Xu Xiao fainting. Her father, the Prince of Beihan, had knelt for three days and even fainted at the door for her sake. She was heartbroken...
In this secluded place, she burst into unrestrained sobbing!
…………
Inside the Northern Cold Prince's mansion, Xu Fengnian was teasing Jiang Ni when he saw the dagger in her hand and flicked it on the forehead...
"With your methods... you think you can kill me?" Xu Fengnian said disdainfully, "You're still too green!"
"You bastard..." Jiang Ni rubbed her forehead, which was stinging from being flicked, and glared at him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes as she cursed.
Xu Fengnian looked at her disdainfully, "So what if I'm a bastard?"
“You…” Jiang 3.6 gritted his teeth in anger, his hand holding the dagger trembling!
"If you lose, hurry up and come over here to massage my legs and back!"
As soon as Xu Fengnian finished speaking, he stared wide-eyed at the situation of Xu Xiao, the Northern Cold King, within the Chu Clan System!
His eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Father, he's fainted?!"
