One hour prior.
Inside the Nine Profound Sect's assembly hall, a fierce argument was taking place.
"Father, have you gone mad? Who is this Jiang Ning? I've never even met him, so why are you making me marry him?"
Lü Qinghe stared at Lü Xingfan in disbelief. Just a short while ago, her father had summoned her, only for her to hear the most incredible thing.
Lü Xingfan actually wanted her to become a stranger's fiancée.
To her, this was utterly devastating news.
"Insolent girl! Is that any way to speak to me? Do you still recognize me as your father?"
Lü Xingfan was, after all, a Sect Leader. He may have been meek and subservient before Ning Jiang, but now his full authority was on display. "I've already told you, he is the descendant of a benefactor who did the Nine Profound Sect a great service. It's your good fortune to become his fiancée."
This so-called benefactor wasn't a complete fabrication.
