Chapter 217: Changed Engagement

What the Pei family patriarch said was true. Marriage contracts within families were transferable from one member to another, as sometimes young generations died during missions or experienced other tragedies. This rule was formed so that the death of one member would not affect the entire clan, as a marriage contract between two talented members wasn't just about the two individuals but affected the whole clan.

The patriarch of the Xu family thought for a while and then said, "It is indeed true that we have heard the Yan family has a heavenly seed with a heaven-defying talent in alchemy, but we have not seen this seed, so we cannot make a decision about that."

The patriarch of the Pei family turned to the patriarch of the Yan family and said, "Patriarch, I believe you have brought the little one with you, haven't you?"

When he said "little one," he looked at Han Cai with a smile.
