These words were quite normal, but Sun Daren changed the tone: "If you marry her, this divine object will mostly stay with Xuanyuan Immortal Clan and cannot be given as a dowry."
"If you marry into her family, you'll be able to play with it more often. However, as a son-in-law, don't expect to be in control of such a clan's treasure."
King Monroe was caught in the act but was not concerned at all. Instead, he started picking Sun Daren's flaw: "No! You're usually stingy and cheap, feeling like a loss if you don't take advantage of a good deal!
How could you give such a treasure to Xuanyuan Pei so easily? Tell me, what's your scheme?"
Sun Daren was indeed somewhat envious of the Rule Sword — but without giving it to Xuanyuan Pei, the event couldn't progress to this point. And without the progress, it's impossible to confirm whether the Water Mirror Demon was behind the scenes or not.
