The Medallion

"Just think about it. If our clans became united by marriage, we will become of great importance in the Sovereign Sect. I think you know the relationship between the Grand Sky Sect and the Sovereign Pavilion. As long as you explain everything to Hannah, I don't think that she would refuse." Benedict deliberately mentioned the name of the Sovereign Pavilion to show Timothy that he was indeed serious in what he was proposing.

The truth was that the relationship between the Grand Sky Sect and the Sovereign Pavilion was also brought by a marriage. Back then, in order to gain the support of the Sovereign Pavilion, Benedict's younger sister had to marry the former leader of the Sovereign Pavilion who was already over seventy years old. That was the main reason why the Grand Sky Sect could become what it was today.

"Well..." Timothy was almost rendered speechless as Benedict strongly insisted on the marriage. He didn't want to give in, but also couldn't just flatly refuse him. Just as Benedict said, the Grand Sky Sect had close ties with the Sovereign Pavilion. It meant that the Sword Spirit Sect couldn't do something that might directly offend the Grand Sky Sect.

"I think you're wrong. Although I'm a woman, I still have the right to make my own decision when it comes to my marriage." Suddenly, a sweet voice echoed throughout the hall.

A moment later, a beautiful woman walked in and appeared before them. She was very graceful and looked very composed. It was none other than Timothy's daughter—Hannah.

"Oh, Hannah, you are here. Well, I didn't mean it like that. I just thought that if Timothy would deem that it's okay, then you might also agree as well..." Seeing that Hannah made an appearance, Benedict assumed that everything would go more smoothly. After all, he couldn't find any reason why they would turn down his proposal.

"Well, my father can't make that decision for me. I hope you can understand this," Hannah said with a straight face.

"Hannah, don't be rude to our guest!" Timothy reprimanded her immediately.

"No, it's okay. I actually agree with her. Let her speak for herself," Benedict said, still confident that Hannah could think logically for the good of their sect.

"Although it's my honor that you have personally picked me to be married to your son, I'm afraid that I can't agree to that." To Benedict's surprise, Hannah refused without any hesitation.

"Why is that?" Benedict's eyes instantly darkened. He didn't expect that Hannah had the guts to turn down such a grand gesture.
