Out of curiosity, the duo neared the elders without being detected. With Jin Rou\'s skill, the elders didn\'t even notice that someone was approaching them.

"This is bad. Really really bad." One elder said with an anxious expression, "Lion Hub is done for. What do we do?"

Jin Rou\'s ears twitched. Lion Hub was done for? It compassed of trillions of years of histories. It couldn\'t just go down like that. After all, their resources were sufficient enough to last them a lifetime.

Furthermore, Lion Emperor of the distant past paved the way for the hub. How could they lose now?

"If not for not Lady Arisa turning down the marriage proposal of Sword Light." Another elder sighed, "That sect has always paid even the slightest grudges. Now, all we can do is to wait for our deaths."

A year ago, the crown prince of Sword Light went here personally to ask for Lady Arisa\'s hand for marriage. All the elders were agreed with it, but the Lion Sect Master\'s answer depended on what his daughter wanted to.

Who would have thought that Lady Arisa would turn the prince down? It made the prince and the Sword Light livid and threatened the Lion Hub that they\'d soon regret this decision.

It\'s the Sword Light again. Jin Rou smirked. It seemed that those people were starting to bare their fangs now. In the past, they were always behaving like a good child, but now they grew some balls.

Unfortunately, they moved in the wrong timing.

"But this can be fixed." The third elder said, "The crown prince will be visiting us again one of these days. That\'s the opportunity to turn the tide away from us."

The crown prince informed the Lion Hub of his visit in the near future. He also stated that he would give the Lion Hub one last chance to change their dire situation. After all, once Sword Light moved, it would be difficult to stop them.

Although Lion Hub and Sword Light were superpowers, their overall strength was totally different. Lion Hub had focused on their businesses thus their power was a bit lacking.

The day of the crown prince\'s arrival had finally arrived. He asked for the grandest reception from the Lion Hub which the elders happily agreed to.

Little did they know, he also brought his first wife to be, the Seven Dao Princess.

There was total comparison between the Seven Dao Princess and Lady Arisu of the Lion Hub. The former couldn\'t even hold a candle in terms of beauty to the latter. And for sure, she was aware of it. Fortunately, she was the first wife thus her status was higher.

Prince Caspian was looking at everyone with an arrogant expression. It looked like he was seeing those people like insects. Merely a pebble in this universe.

While he was being received grandly by people, in a guest hall, Lady Arisu was there with the high ranking elders of the Lion Hub.

Her beauty was truly amazing and gasp inducing. With her red hair down like waves after waves, and her smooth skin and perfect oval face, no wonder Prince Caspian didn\'t stop pursuing her. A year ago, she was offered to be the first wife. But she declined. Now, she was given a chance again, but it\'s just as the second wife since the first had already been taken.

"Lady Arisu, you cannot turn this marriage down again." The elder said with a stern voice, "If you do, you will be the sinner of the Lion Hub for the rest of your life. Can you bear that?"

"Your father is in seclusion, so no one can help you. So help yourself and the hub. Don\'t put us in danger for your measly pride as the heiress of the Lion Hub." The other elder said.

They kept on pressuring the woman and didn\'t care. As long as it could save the hub, they would do it. Currently, they had no match for the Sword Light. So they had no choice but to adjust.

Surviving was the most important part.

Although Lady Arisu could understand this simple logic and trail of thinking, she still shook her head and answered, "That man is not worthy to be marrying with. So no, my decision stands the same."

"Are you out of your mind?!" The elders raised their voices in frustration, "You\'re going to get us killed! Not just you, us! Do you know how powerful those people had advanced through the years? Our focus is in business, so how could we fight them back? Not to mention, I heard they have a secret tie with a superpower in the north!"

It was an ongoing rumor that Sword Light\'s further advancement could be because of external sources. But it wasn\'t proven so no one actually talked about it openly.

"You are out of your mind, Elder Han." Lady Arisu was angry, "Do you think things will be resolved if I agree to their wedding? Prince Caspian just wants something here in the Lion Hub that\'s why he is pursuing me. With the history of Sword Light, do you think we will fare better if we ally with them?"

The elders were shocked. It was the first time they saw the lady angry about something. They didn\'t know what to refute what she said as it was all true. Sword Light was arrogant and wicked. So how could they fall to their hands? But, if they decline this marriage again, can they take the anger of that person?

While they were having a hard time deciding, someone barged in without informing those ij the inside. The elders were about to reprimand the person when they saw who it was.

"I heard that my soon-to-be wife is here, so I personally come here to fetch her." Prince Caspian walked slowly but arrogantly as he neared Lady Arisu, "After all, we have so much to talk with."

In his tow was Seven Dao Princess who was wearing a fake smile. For sure, she must be looking at Lady Arisu with disgusted expression.
