“Brother Luo, I am very happy for you to come here personally.” The Utmost North Sage Emperor stood up and said to the Asura Godking while smiling.

The Blood Demon Queen smiled charmingly. “A while ago, I had gone to the Asura Sea to find Brother Luo and the people from the Asura Sea used the reason of Brother Luo instructing your newest disciple to hinder me. Never would I have expected that Brother Luo would be free today.”

The tone of complaint within the Blood Demon Queen’s words was something that practically everyone in the palace hall managed to sense.

The Asura Godking smiled indifferently. “Yu Cha, I was indeed instructing my disciple.”

“Is that disciple of yours present today?” The Blood Demon Queen Yu Cha continued to ask. At this moment, the Asura Godking had walked to his own seat and sat down. He then said. “He’s here. He’s behind me.” As he said that, he looked to Hou Fei behind him.

Immediately, everyone in the palace hall looked to Hou Fei.

“Fei Fei has become the disciple of the Asura Godking?” Qin Yu felt a burst of happiness.

Hou Fei and Qin Yu exchanged glances. Neither said anything. The two brothers knew what the other was thinking with merely a single glance. Furthermore, it was also inconvenient for the two of them to chat with each other in the palace hall right now. Both Qin Yu and Hou Fei had decided to leave the palace hall first before chatting with each other about the times they haven’t seen each other.

“Junior Hou Fei pays his respects to the various Godkings.” Said Hou Fei courteously.

“Haha...” A loud and candid laughter was heard. Mount Blazing Flame’s Utmost West Sage Emperor spoke. “Brother Luo doesn’t like to take in disciples, this is something that we all know about. Brother Luo, how come you took on this disciple this time? Could it be that this lad called ‘Hou Fei’ has something special to him?”

Asura Godking laughed indifferently. “Today is the date on which the Utmost North Sage Emperor would help his daughter determine her groom. There is no need for everyone to chat about this disciple of mine.”

Although the Asura Godking tone of speech sounded extremely friendly, but the Eight Great Sage Emperors that knew him very well already know that he was already a bit unhappy.

The Eight Great Sage Emperors and the representatives from the Three Great Ascender Powers had all been seated.

“Everyone.” The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan stood up. With a smile on his face, he said. “Today is the date of my daughter’s public groom search. These past few years, there were numerous people who wanted to participate in the groom search. However, after a foundational screening, only eighteen elites of the Divine Realm remain.”

As the Utmost Sage Emperor said that, he pointed to the row where Qin Yu sat in.

The row had a total of eighteen people. Kuiyin Hou, Shentu Fan, Qin Yu, Zhou Xian and Duanmu Yu were seated in the first row. Behind them were numerous other rows of people.

The Godkings above all nodded and smiled to the eighteen candidates below.

Many of the people below were related to the Godkings above. Not only Qin Yu and them, for the other thirteen candidates to be able to pass a foundational screening, each and every one of them also possessed a high status. Even the weakest among them possessed the status of a prince.

“Brother Jiang, there’s a total of eighteen candidates here. That precious daughter of yours most definitely cannot be married to eighteen individuals. There must be an impartial screening method, otherwise, none of us would be able to accept it.” Thunder Punishment City’s Northwest Sage Emperor Zhou Huo said with a chuckle.

“I am in agreement with what Brother Zhou had said. Of these eighteen people, seventeen of them would be eliminated. The method of elimination must allow all of us to be convinced.” Light Lens City’s Utmost South Sage Emperor also voiced his opinion.

Right away, on the platform above, the Eight Great Sage Emperors, Blood Demon Queen, Floating Mist Godking and them all started to discuss about this matter while smiling and laughing. The atmosphere was extremely friendly. As for the people below, they were all listening to the conversations between these Godkings.

“Everyone, please rest assured.” Jiang Fan’s smiling face had turned somewhat red. “I naturally possess a fair and impartial method of screening. Actually, each and every one of these eighteen elites are extremely outstanding. I would hate to eliminate any single one of them. Haha... merely, my daughter could only have a single husband.”

Jiang Fan smiled as he looked to Jiang Li beside him.

Numerous people below looked to Jiang Li, the main character in this groom search.

“As for the specific screening method, I’ll have my wife inform everyone about it. Of course, this method would definitely please everyone.” Said Jiang Fan with a light smile. He then sat down.

Jiang Fan’s wife, Chunyu Rou stood up.

Qin Yu, Zhou Xian, Shentu Fan, Kuiyin Hou... and the others all looked to Chunyu Rou. They all wanted to hear what exactly the method of screening was.

“Everyone.” Chunyu Rou had an extremely amiable expression. “I wish that my son-in-law must be sincere and heartfelt toward my daughter. He must care for my daughter and must be diligent and attentive toward her. Furthermore, he must possess sufficient strength and status to match her. Everyone, do you believe what I said to be correct?”

All the people underneath nodded. At this moment, they seemed to have a mutual understanding and did not say anything to disturb Chunyu Rou.

Chunyu Rou continued. “With what I have said earlier in mind, sincerity, heartfelt, concern, diligent, attentive, sufficient strength and position, my husband and I have worked out a method of screening.”

Chunyu Rou extended three fingers.

“Three presents, three chosen candidates!”

All the people below were startled. Immediately after, they all began to guess as to what the screening method that Chunyu Rou spoke of was.

Qin Yu was also guessing. “Three presents, three chosen candidates? Are we to present gifts in order to determine the three selections?”

The people below were thinking about the same thing as Qin Yu.

“Let me explain the screening method in details.” Chunyu Rou smiled and said. “In order to determine who among you eighteen is the most sincere and heartfelt toward our daughter, we have determined the method to select the first slot. The eighteen of you are to take out a present that represent your sincerity and heartfeltness.”

“Sincerity? Heartfeltness? How could you judge that by merely looking at a single gift?” Floating Mist Godking said softly.

The numerous people below also nodded in their heart.

Although treasures are separated into different levels of preciousness, but how could one determine who was the most sincere and heartfelt? If two people with different status took out the same treasure, then their treasures would be the same, but could one say that the two people were equally sincere?

Jiang Fan stood up. He smiled and said. “Everyone, please do not feel anxious. I will naturally explain in details. I will definitely allow everyone to feel that our selection method is fair.”

Qin Yu nodded in his heart.

As the other Seven Great Sage Emperors and the three representatives from the Ascenders Powers were also present, Jiang Fan would definitely make himself out to be a fool.

Chunyu Rou continued. “Whoever’s present was determined to be the most sincere, the most heartfelt, then... he shall become the first chosen one.”

Jiang Fan also spoke. “As for who determine which present is the most sincere and heartfelt, it would be the Thirteen Godkings, including me, that is present here today. What do everyone think about this?”

Qin Yu lightly nodded.

The Thirteen Godkings present here, other than the three from the Utmost Northern Region’s Floating Snow City, the other ten were all from different powers. With how revered their status was, there would definitely be no need to be anxious with them being the judges.

The people below have no objection to this at all.

“The second present determines the second chosen person. This present determines everyone’s diligence and attentiveness. This present doesn’t need to be precious. It merely need to be novel, wondrous and possessing various other aspects. Once again, the thirteen Godkings would be the judge of the present. The candidate who presented the most diligent and attentive gift shall be the second chosen person.”

Chunyu Rou continued. “As for the third treasure, it emphasizes the candidate’s strength and status! This treasure, the selection for this would be based on preciousness! Whoever present the most precious treasure, he shall be the third chosen one.”

After hearing the selection method for the second slot and the third slot, practically everyone below sighed a breath of relief.

Determine who was the most diligent and attentive?

This gave those people with lower status and strength a hope.

Determine who’s present was the most precious?

This gave Zhou Xian and them sufficient confidence.

Evidently... everyone had the hope of becoming a chosen one.

Jiang Fan said in a clear voice. “After we determined the three chosen candidates, these three candidates would then have to present their betrothal gift. My wife and I would then determine the three candidates through the various aspects the candidates shown. Whoever we selected, we would then accept his betrothal gift. As for the betrothal gifts from the other two candidates, we would return them.”

Everyone understood it now.

Even after the selection of the three chosen candidates, the final determination was still done by Jiang Fan and his wife.

Zhou Xian suddenly stood up. “Uncle, I have a matter that I am confused about. The three presents determined the three chosen candidates. However, what if a person were to present three different presents that was the most sincere, the most diligent and the most precious, then what do we do?”

Jiang Fan started laughing. “Haha. This is a good question. If an outstanding talent below were to present three treasures that are the most sincere, most diligent and the most precious, then the chosen candidate would only be him... At that time, my wife and I would not have to choose anymore as that man shall become the husband of my daughter.”

The people below immediately started to discuss with one another.

Qin Yu had completely understood the screening method.

There would be three rounds of screening. In each round, everyone was to present their gift and the gift would be the determination of the chosen candidates.

After the three rounds, the three chosen candidates spots would then be selected.

“If it is possible, then I must definitely take all three of the chosen candidate spots.” Qin Yu thought in his heart. Qin Yu did not wish to have any accidents. He wanted to marry Li’er with even more certainty.

“Brother Jiang, regarding this most diligent gift, we could determine it through the novelty of the gift. As for the most precious gift, there was no need to mention it. However, as for the most sincere and heartfelt gift, how shall we determine that?” Utmost East Sage Emperor Huangfu Yu asked with a smile.

Jiang Fan nodded while smiling.

“This is precisely what I am about to carefully explain. We are to determine this round based on who present the most sincere and heartfelt gift. Although... it seemed as if there would be a chosen candidate, but in actuality, it might be possible for this chosen candidate spot to be wasted.”

Qin Yu, Zhou Xian and them all listened carefully. They feared to miss a single word.

Wasted?

How could the spot be wasted?

Qin Yu was unable to understand.

“As for who is the most sincere and heartfelt, my wife and I have determined to have the Exalted Celestials come and decide!” Jiang Lan face started to shine.

[TL: WUT? You literally said the thirteen godkings would be deciding that like 2 mins ago.]

Exalted Celestials?

Those Godkings all looked to Jiang Fan with a shocked expression.

“Everyone, please don’t be surprised. This round, it is for the eighteen candidates to all proceed to the ‘Mountain Sea Palace.’ If anyone of them were to be able to move the Exalted Celestials and obtain a gift from him, then he shall be the most sincere. If only a single person obtains the Exalted Celestials’ gift, then he shall directly be the chosen candidate for the first round. If there are to be two people who obtain the Exalted Celestials’ gift, then we thirteen Godkings shall determine the merits and drawbacks of the two gifts to determine who the chosen candidate shall be!” Jiang Fan said while smiling.

Everyone understood now.

Proceed to go to the Mountain Sea Palace to try to obtain an Exalted Celestials’ gift?

Are Exalted Celestials that easy to meet? After all, they are legendary beings. It was very possible for everyone to not obtain any treasure and waste this chosen candidate spot.

Merely...

“That Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial, he’s from the Zhou Clan, right?” Qin Yu frowned. He took a glance at Zhou Xian beside him. At this moment, Zhou Xian had a smiling expression in his eyes.
