The yard was overflowing with golden light.

Clan Leader Titan and his grandsons stared wide-eyed at the three golden mountains, their eyes sore and red, too shocked to care about the pain.

"Holy crap!"

Clan Leader Titan looked around, as golden soul coins filled his entire view, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

He turned his head and glared at Clan Leader Baihe.

Gulping down heavy breaths, his voice was full of amazement.

"What the hell did you just say to me?"

"You're tight on funds?"

"Asking me to sponsor you a little?"

Clan Leader Titan's face was plastered with question marks, "Are you kidding me, this isn't just about being filthy rich."

Taino and Tailong exchanged glances, each able to see the shock in the other's eyes.

This was just too absurd.

The usually dirt-poor Min Clan, when had they become so wealthy?

"Uh... about this..." Clan Leader Baihe hurried to explain: "Old Titan, let me explain, these golden soul coins..."

"I don't want to hear it!" Titan snorted: "Look at you, pretending to be poor even though you're loaded."

"You're basically slapping me in the face by playing dumb and catching a tiger."

Clan Leader Titan couldn't help but curse:

"You showing off one mountain of gold is one thing, but to leave out three mountains of gold in your yard, who are you showing off to?"

"Old Titan, cool it, just cool down!" Clan Leader Baihe tried to soothe.

"Huh, cool down? I can't."

It wasn't that Clan Leader Titan had never seen money; it was just that the sight of three golden mountains had given him too big of a visual shock.

How many years of toiling away forging Iron would it take to earn this much?

Taino and Tailong racked their brains but couldn't imagine what kind of windfall the Min Clan had stumbled upon to accumulate such wealth; it was simply beyond imagination.

"Hey, Old Titan, to tell you the truth, this money isn't ours." Clan Leader Baihe said with a bitter smile: "It's all from young men courting Chen Xiang, the girl."

Clan Leader Titan calmed down a bit and asked with wide eyes like copper bells:

"How many young men would have to court my grandniece to give away so much gold?"

Clan Leader Baihe raised a finger.

"A thousand?" Clan Leader Titan said incredulously: "That many guys?"

"But even if over a thousand guys gave gifts, I doubt it would amount to this much money, right?"

Clan Leader Baihe shook his head.

"Where did you get a thousand guys from, it was just one person who gave all this?"

"???"

All three generations of Titans were astonished.

"Who would be so generous to casually give away three mountains of gold, so willingly?"

Clan Leader Titan held back, although there was still something he didn't say.

Could this person be an idiot?

Giving away enough to show sincerity is enough, why give so much, it's almost showing off foolishness.

Taino couldn't help but interject.

"Uncle Baihe, has Chen Xiang already gotten engaged to that outstanding young man? Are these the betrothal gifts he sent?"

"What betrothal gifts! It was something that kid gave when they first met, and our little Chen Xiang didn't want to take advantage of others, she has always refused to accept it." Baihe said with a bitter smile.

"We wanted to give it back, but the guy wouldn't take it."

"This..."

The three generations of Titans were silent.

Looking at the dazzling three mountains of gold, Clan Leader Titan's gaze kept drifting toward Taino and Tailong.

"Grandfather, why do you keep looking at me?" Tailong couldn't help but ask.

Clan Leader Titan snorted lightly, his face full of envy.

"I'm thinking your dad is useless."

"Why didn't he have a daughter instead of a son, he's just a loss-making good for nothing."

"This..."

Tailong stood there petrified, as if struck by lightning.

"Granpa, that's a bit harsh."

Clan Leader Titan turned to say:

"Old White Crane, after hearing you, I think this young man seems pretty decent."

Clan Leader Baihe made a face, "He's very decent, I quite approve of him. Too bad my little Chen Xiang doesn't fancy him."

"Who says?" Bai Chenxiang retorted.

"Huh?"

Everyone looked at Bai Chenxiang together, making the young girl's face turn red with embarrassment.

In the end, the girl lowered her head and muttered,

"Before we weren't familiar, so it's true I was a bit resistant..."

"But now..."

"Where is the other party?" Tailong asked curiously.

Bai Chenxiang's expression darkened.

"Smack!" Titan gave him a smack on the head, "You scoundrel, always bringing up what shouldn't be mentioned. If you have nothing good to say, then say less."

"How strong is that boy?" Titan inquired.

Bai He shook his head, "Don't know, never tested him."

Titan immediately grew anxious, "Old White Crane, I'm not criticizing you, but you can't just be dazzled by money."

"Your grandniece's marriage is important, money alone isn't enough. In this world where Soul Masters are revered, we must find a strong grandson-in-law."

"I think that young man is quite good, I'm very satisfied," Clan Leader Baihe replied.

Titan stubbornly said,

"That won't do, if his strength isn't up to par we must reject him. If there's a chance to meet him, I must let my good-for-nothing grandson try out that boy."

"To see exactly how much he weighs."

"If his strength is too poor, he won't be worthy of our grandniece."

"Grandpa Titan, please don't talk about it anymore!" Bai Chenxiang said, pouting her red lips.

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, a rumbling sound came from outside the door — someone was approaching, each step heavy and forceful.

Soon, a towering figure appeared at the doorway.

The person was eight feet tall, an elder with white hair like an iron tower.

Clan Leader Niu Gao of the Control Clan.

Titan laughed and said,

"That commotion."

"You can tell it's Old Niu at first glance."

"Old Gorilla, Bai He, long time no see," Clan Leader Niu Gao laughed heartily as he stepped into the room.

As soon as he entered, he too was dazzled by the three mountains of golden light.

Naturally, he was utterly astonished.

In the end, Titan excitedly explained the origin of these golden soul coins to Niu Gao.

Niu Gao banged his fists together with a "thump, thump, thump."

"Just having money isn't enough for our grandniece."

"She must have a strong suitor."

"If he's too weak, wouldn't that disgrace the prestige of our four great clans?"

"If that boy comes today, Old Buddy, I must help you test him a bit to see how much he weighs."

Bai Chenxiang said, "Grandpa Niu, what strength do you have, which young man could withstand your methods?"

"Haha, don't worry, grandniece, your Grandpa Niu knows how to measure his strength and won't hurt him."

"Why talk about this, he hasn't been here for three days, and I guess he won't come again in the future," Bai Chenxiang sighed.

Titan burst out fiercely,

"That kid doesn't persevere, probably doesn't understand women either, can't even tell when our little Chen Xiang has taken a fancy to him."

"Forget about him then."

"Next time he rushes over, Grandpa will help you kick him out with a single kick."

"Don't!" Bai Chenxiang shook her head, a trace of worry crossing her brow, "Maybe, it's also my fault for being too reserved, making him think I'm cold."

"That's likely why he left disappointed."

Titan laughed loudly.

"Bang bang bang!"

He clapped his grandson on the shoulder.

"There's plenty of fish in the sea."

"Actually, I think my grandson isn't too bad, although he looks a bit rough, his strength is formidable."

"He provides a sense of security!"

Bai He's mouth twitched.

"You old gorilla, still setting your sights on my granddaughter?"

"Hiss — Old White Crane, are you looking down on people? Not to mention anything else, but my grandson's strength makes him stand out among the younger generation."

Bai Chenxiang pursed her lips, gazing out the door without giving Tailong a single glance.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, shining brightly.

Because outside the door, a handsome and upright figure appeared…
