Maxine froze at his question. After a few seconds, she nodded and replied, “Yeah. Grandpa arranged the marriage.”James said, “I’ve heard about the Blithes. They used to be a sect that declined into a martial family and almost died down. Fortunately, they had a talented martial artist that revitalized the family. They’ve maintained a low profile all this while, but they’re actually a powerful family and are on par with the Ancient Four. Does this mean that Tobias is trying to win their support during the martial art conference?”“Yes.” Maxine nodded and said, “The three families are pointing fingers at the Cadens. We’re being besieged and need a strong ally. The Blithes are a good choice, and the means of winning them is marriage.”James frowned and said, “In this time and age, how are such practices still happening? Why do we sacrifice someone’s happiness for the family’s benefit?”“I agree.” Maxine looked at James. She pouted and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. What we

Blake stared at Maxine enviously and exclaimed, “I-Is this the strength of a grandmaster?! She has such strong energy surging from her!”Madelyn glanced at Maxine and smiled condescendingly. “I heard you’re smart and tactical. Since you knew I was coming to Mount White, why didn’t you consider the consequences beforehand?“Oh, wait. I get it. You knew of the consequences but still chose to come. I’ll fulfill your wish, then!”Madelyn suddenly smiled and snapped her fingers.Suddenly, four men jumped down from a few big trees and appeared before them.“The Four Guardians!”The change in Maxine’s facial expression was almost indiscernible.“Attack!” An evil smile crept onto Madelyn’s face as she ordered, “Kill everyone except for Maxine and James!”“How dare you?!” James took a sudden step forward and stood in front of Maxine. Then, he glared at the middle-aged men and Madelyn.The four ordinary-looking men were dressed in black robes, radiating strong auras. Their charisma alon

James knew that Madelyn did not intend to kill him but only wanted to use the soldiers to threaten him.“Of course, I’ll keep my word.” Madelyn smiled and whispered to the four middle-aged men beside her, “Don’t go all out on him. We can’t kill him.”The Four Guardians nodded.Immediately, one of them stepped forward.He raised his arms, and a powerful force surrounded him, causing the fallen leaves around him to flutter in the air.A lot of fallen leaves gathered and rotated together into an energy ball.He stared at James and said, “Are you ready, James?”James closed his eyes. He concentrated on the Invincible Body Siddhi recorded in the medical book.James knew that he could not sustain four blows from the Four Guardians, but for the sake of the Blithe Army’s soldiers, he had to.He circulated his energy and channeled it throughout the meridians of his body.James’ complexion showed slight changes, turning slightly bronzy.“Hmm?” Seeing the changes in James’ complexion,

“Ugh!” James spat out a mouthful of blood.Then, his body flew more than ten meters back before crashing to the ground.“James!” Maxine rushed over.As soon as James fell to the ground, he got up and sat in a lotus position, circulating his energy and suppressing the Blood Energy in his body.Seeing that James was able to get up, Maxine sighed in relief. She quickly reminded him, “James, forget it. They’re not using their full strength against you. He only used about seventy percent. You can’t take a blow of full strength from them.”James waved his hand. “I have to take it, even if I can’t. I brought these people here and must bring them back safely.”He then looked at Madelyn in the distance and asked, “Can I heal for a while?”“Sure,” Madelyn replied.At the same time, she carefully observed James. She was wondering how James could withstand the attacks of the Four Guardians. The four of them were grandmasters of the third rank.James sat in a lotus position with his eyes c

“You…” Maxine was furious.“Now!” Madelyn ordered.The Four Guardians acted swiftly.Before Maxine could react, they had tapped her acupoints and sealed her True Energy, rendering her paralyzed.Madelyn smirked and said, “Maxine, you should know that Mr. Gabriel hated people getting in the way of his plans. He doesn't want the Cadens to get help from anyone.”Maxine could not move her body. She glared at Madelyn and asked, “Isn’t he your teacher? Why are you calling him Mr. Gabriel?”“Hehe,” Madelyn giggled. She did not explain herself and simply waved to the Four Guardians beside her.The four nodded and quickly left.Madelyn slowly walked toward Maxine. Maxine could not circulate her energy as her acupoints were sealed. Madelyn lifted Maxine's chin and said with a smile, “What a beautiful woman. If I were a man, I would love to be with a woman like you. Hehe…”Then, she walked toward James.James had suffered severe injuries and was still recovering. His injuries were h

On the mountain, the campfires were still burning.Two naked figures were lying on the ground.The man was on the bottom while the woman was lying on top of him. Both had no clothes on, and their positions were incredibly intimate.Maxine could feel James’ lips against her cheek, and her face blushed red. She wanted to stand up but could not move a muscle.James was unable to move as well. He could only keep embracing Maxine. He could feel the warmth of Maxine’s body.Both of them were embarrassed by the situation and remained silent.A sense of awkwardness filled the atmosphere.Time passed by slowly.The two stayed in the same pose for three hours.After three hours, Maxine realized she could move and quickly jumped off James. Then, she picked up her clothes and covered her body.Her clothes were ripped and could not be worn anymore. She could only use the scraps to cover herself slightly for the time being.James got up and wanted to put his clothes on. However, he found

With the current situation, James was unsure of what to do. After sobbing for a while, Maxine calmed down. She wore a perplexed expression as she sat pensively.“What are you thinking about?” Seeing that she was in deep thought, James' curiosity was piqued.“It’s kind of weird,” Maxine murmured.“Huh?” James was puzzled.Maxine said softly, “Grandpa knew that Madelyn would appear in Mount White. At first, he asked me not to interfere because he knew that she wouldn’t kill you. He knew your life would not be in danger, but eventually, he allowed me to come to look for you.”James looked at Maxine and asked, “What’s weird about that? Didn’t you say he asked you to bring me the martial art manuals?”“I’m afraid that was just an excuse.” Maxine sighed.She knew Tobias very well.Although he had no intention of fighting for hegemony, he was meticulous. He would always think through things thoroughly.She explained, “Grandpa knows about Madelyn being Mr. Gabriel’s disciple and als

On the outside, she had infinite glory. However, in reality, she had no status in the family and was simply a tool to be used.James asked, “Then, what should we do now?”Maxine sighed. “I’m afraid Grandpa sent me to protect you because he knew you didn’t fully trust the Cadens. He wanted to use me to make you feel welcomed among the Cadens. That’s why he allowed me to come hoping that something would happen between us. At the same time, he’ll stay in contact with the Blithes. Even if Madelyn spreads the pictures, he’ll still try to make the marriage happen. And, if it doesn’t happen, he’ll think of something to cause a grievance between the Blithes and Mr. Gabriel.”James listened carefully.Although these were just Maxine’s guesses, they made complete sense.“Don't worry. I’ll take things one step at a time.” Maxine hugged her knees and propped her chin on them, speaking softly.After thinking for a while, she felt that her situation was not too bad.At least she was still val
