The Sacred Leaves Family's Wishes for Peace

Chapter 105 Forced Engagement

A few days later.

"News from Brother Yunyue: the amount of obsidian that can be mined from the vein is now very limited.

According to estimates, the remaining mining period is less than a year," Yun Yunrui reported to Yun Yunyang, providing an update on the obsidian vein in Chuyun Mountain.

"Shui'er, in the coming period, I want you to take the Golden-Eyed Beast and some clansmen to

"What do you think about this matter?"

"If my sister wants to marry, she'll marry. If she doesn't, no one can force her," Yun Yanshui replied firmly.

"Discuss this with your father when you return. Let's see what he and your sister think about it."

"I understand," Yun Yanshui said, nodding before leaving for home.

"Brother Yunyang, what about those carriages and their so-called gifts?" Yun Yunlin asked.

"Destroy them!" Yun Yunyang said coldly.

A forced betrothal? They wanted no part of it!

"Old Daoist Master," Yun Yunyang said respectfully, bowing under the shade of a willow tree after dismissing the others.

"Out of options already?" the blind Daoist replied with a faint smile, having observed the entire situation from a distance.

"The Yulin Wang clan is powerful—far beyond our Yun clan's capabilities to contend with.

Especially with their patriarch currently in seclusion, preparing for a breakthrough. If he succeeds and steps into the Foundation Establishment stage, their influence will skyrocket.

At that point, Shuang'er…" Yun Yunyang trailed off, his voice filled with frustration. His clenched fists and tight jaw betrayed his anger and helplessness.

"How can we let my niece be married off to the Wang family so easily?" he continued.

"These years, we've been fortunate for your guidance in Shuang'er's and Tian'er's cultivation.

We have never dared to ask too much of you, but this time…"

"I understand your pain. For now, don't rush. Let's first hear what Shuang'er has to say.

After all, the ultimate decision must still be hers," the old Daoist said calmly, a faint smile on his lips.

"I understand, Master," Yun Yunyang said, nodding.

"I won't marry!"

Freshly returned from the armory, Yun Yanshuang's face turned icy upon hearing about Wang Chongyue's visit and the Wang family's attempts to force her into marriage.

Yun Yunshan, her father, looked equally grave.

He, too, opposed the marriage. But the Wang family's power, coupled with their patriarch's impending breakthrough into Foundation Establishment, left the Yun clan in a precarious position.

If they rejected the proposal, they would undoubtedly face relentless suppression from the Wang family, making their already difficult circumstances even worse.

"Marrying into the Wang family benefits no one—it wrongs Shuang'er and harms our clan.

But refusing them risks angering the Wang family and worsening our situation," Yun Yunshan said, his voice heavy.

"So, Father, what do you suggest?" Yun Yanshuang asked, her face etched with concern.

"My daughter, Yun Yunshan's child, will not be casually married off to the Wang family!" Yun Yunshan said firmly, stroking her head gently.

"Don't worry too much. I'll think of a solution. Your uncle and the others will also work out a plan."

"Understood, Father. If worst comes to worst, I'll ask the Master for help. He would never sit idly by," Yun Yanshuang said confidently.

"The old Daoist Master? Indeed, he might be our only hope in this matter," Yun Yunshan agreed with a sigh.
