In a secret chamber within the Jiang family mansion, Jiang Tianyuan and Mu Nameless sat side by side, deep in thought.

Moonlight spilled through the window, casting mottled shadows on their pale faces.

Jiang Tianyuan sighed heavily, his gaze dim as he looked at Mu Nameless. "Only by joining forces can we withstand someone as powerful as Chu Yi. Though his strength is formidable, he is too reclusive and cold, lacking a righteous heart."

Mu Nameless stared at Jiang Tianyuan, his eyes filled with doubt. "Are you suggesting we marry off my daughter to Chu Yi as a bargaining chip?" He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "That would be truly degrading."
