The Emperor did not expect Wen Xingzhi to agree so readily and was momentarily taken aback.
After a moment, the Emperor burst into laughter, "Well, since you honor me, my dear subject, I will take this joyous occasion today to declare my Princess Wanyu betrothed to you."
Wen Xingzhi attended the ceremony, bowed his head, knelt down, and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness."
The Emperor was about to instruct someone to draft the decree when suddenly the sound of arrows breaking the air was heard. Six arrows rained down from nowhere, three of which brushed past Wen Xingzhi's bowed head and shot towards the Emperor, while three arrows attacked from behind Ye Rui, brushing past the sides of his body and his head, and shot towards Xiao Zhen sitting opposite him.
