At that moment, Zaid stepped forward and said smilingly, “Sect Elder Zaydon, my daughter has no wish to marry at the moment. Why don’t we postpone this matter for now? Maybe my daughter will come to her senses in the future.”
Since the Zaydons were the leader among the three great families of Kineallen City, the Yanis did not wish to provoke them unnecessarily.
“Melany, you are destined to be mine.” Justin looked at Melany with a ravenous look on his face and said, “Soon, you will come to the Zaydens’ household and beg me to marry you.”
Then, he turned to leave.
The Zaydons’ Sect Elder glared at Zaid and smirked. “Ungrateful wretch!”
After he spoke, he turned to leave.
Once they left, Zaid sighed dejectedly and said, “Melany, you shouldn’t have turned down their offer. You should understand what kind of situation we’re in at the moment. After suckering up with the Divinity Sect, the Zaydons have grown ever more abrasive and arrogant. No one dares challenge them in Kineallen City. Even in Doncaster, very few families dare stand up to them.”
“That being said, you should know what kind of person Justin is. He’s a rare genius, but he’s also a cold and ruthless man. Besides, he’s a playboy who messes around with women. How will I be happy being married to him?
“He only has his eyes on my body. Once he has his way, he will lose interest in me. I will never marry him.”
Zaid sighed, “Now that you rejected his advances, I don’t know what kind of underhanded tactics the Zaydens will resort to.”
He was only concerned that the Zaydons would resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes. With the Yanis’ current strength, they stood no chance against them.
Melany thought about it and said, “Since Justin passed the Divinity Sect’s examination and has become a disciple of the sect, I will turn to the Welkin Academy. As long as I become a disciple of the Divinity Sect, the Zaydons wouldn't dare make a move against us.”
“But…” Zaid said anxiously, “The Welkin Academy has an extremely strict admission process. In fact, joining the Welkin Academy is even harder than joining the Divinity Sect. Are you confident in your chances?”
Melany shook her head. She was not confident at all.
There were a few influential forces within the Ancient Realm, and the Divinity Sect and the Welkin Academy were among them. Every disciple of these two sects was a genius and distinguished amongst their peers. However, Melany had no choice. To avoid being married to Justin and prevent the Zaydons from resorting to underhanded tactics against them, she could only join the Welkin Academy and become a disciple. It was the only way to deter the Zaydons from making a move.
