Chen Jiusi successfully passed the first two tests set by the Commandery Prince, impressing everyone with his literary and martial skills. However, the Ruyang King presented a new challenge: to make him rise from his chair, a task that seemed nearly impossible given the King's strength. Meanwhile, Zhao Ya worried about the potential for conflict.

"Hey, Old Zhou, why are you so cowardly? How do you know if you haven’t tried?"

Chen Xiaohu looked at Zhou Chu with anger and said. Zhou Chu replied, "It’s not about being cowardly; we have to be self-aware. Just the three of us, challenging the Ruyang King, are you kidding?"

At this time, Hu Weiyong spoke up, "That’s right, let’s not embarrass ourselves. This matter depends on our Lord."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaohu said, "Counting on Jiu Si is also fine. Anyway, Jiu Si is also at the Second Turn of Melt God, much stronger than the Ruyang King. If it really comes to a fight, he might not lose!"

Once Chen Xiaohu said this, maybe his voice was too loud, just at that moment, the Ruyang King glanced at him and said, "Heh, you’re quite right. Isn’t Chen Jiusi at the Second Turn of Melt God? Then let me test his depth!"

After finishing these words, the Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, want to fight?"

Chen Jie looked at the Ruyang King and said, "Father-in-law jokes, on such a joyous day, how can I strike against my father-in-law? Isn’t there any talk of filial piety?"

"Heh, Chen Jiusi, you don’t need to talk to me about filial piety. I’m deliberately making things difficult for you today. I can’t stop Yaya, so I’ll stop you. Let me see how capable you are of marrying Yaya from my hands!"

"Hey, you old... Old Prince, you can’t be unreasonable. We’ve agreed on the grand wedding, and now you’re pulling something like this. You’re deliberately trying to prevent a perfect wedding!"

Chen Xiaohu, with his short temper, was furious at the Ruyang King’s words and was about to start cursing, intending to curse the old thing. However, seeing the Ruyang King’s cold eyes and the look from Chen Jie, our Xiaohu, the Tiger General, swallowed back his words and changed it to Old Prince.

The Ruyang King looked at Chen Xiaohu and said, "You’re right, I just don’t want this wedding to be perfect. I don’t like the look of this Chen. What do you want to do about it?"

"You!"

Chen Xiaohu was extremely angry, but in terms of strength, status, and the relationship of Chen Jiusi’s father-in-law, he was firmly suppressed, leaving him with no ability to resist.

After all, he was being crushed in all directions.

The Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and said, "Want to have a match with me?"

Chen Jiusi responded, "Father-in-law, on this wedding day, I cannot bring myself to fight my father-in-law."

The Ruyang King said, "Fight me, hmph, what, do you think just because you have the strength of a Melt God Second Turn, you can take me for granted?"

"Haha, I think you’re overthinking!"

As the Ruyang King said this, he clapped his hands, and suddenly there came a shout from all around, including outside the courtyard walls: "Ha!"

In an instant, a powerful Gang Qi rose both inside and outside the courtyard, and the people around immediately stared in shock.

"White Deer Army Killing Formation!"

Everyone felt a massive chill of military might on their bodies and immediately looked towards the Ruyang King. At this time, Zhu Chongba looked displeased and said, "There seems to be a military formation set up on the periphery."

Tang He said, "What should we do? Are they planning to wipe us out?"

Zhu Chongba said, "Don’t move, his target isn’t us, he’s targeting Chen Jiusi."

Li Shanchang stated, "This means serious business. It seems the Ruyang King really doesn’t care for Chen Jiusi."

With a low voice, Zhu Chongba said, "This old father-in-law is really something. If I had to go through this when marrying your sister-in-law, I would have been troubled."

The small group quietly talked among themselves, while Qing Zhu in the back saw the intense scene, covered her small mouth in fright, and turned to run back.

She quickly rushed into the Commandery Princess’s room, where she was waiting for news from outside. Qing Zhu came over excitedly and said, "Commandery Princess, it’s not good. The Prince, the Prince has set up a formation outside, it looks like he’s preparing to fight the bridegroom!"

"What!"

Zhao Ya jumped up and looked at Qing Zhu, "What did you just say?"

"The Prince is about to fight the bridegroom!"

Zhao Ya said, "What exactly is going on, tell me quickly."

Qing Zhu said, "The Prince set up a chair outside and is sitting on it, saying that to marry you, one must pass his test, and let him get up from the chair. But clearly, the Prince has no intention of getting up, this is making things difficult for people."

"Moreover, the Prince is forcing the bridegroom to fight, and he even set up the White Deer Army Killing Formation outside, it looks like he’s really planning to fight the bridegroom!"

"How could Father act this way!"

On hearing this, Zhao Ya was furious. She looked at Qing Zhu and said, "Quickly take me there, Father is being too much!"

Saying this, Zhao Ya stood up to leave, but at that moment, two people appeared at the doorway—it was Zhao Ya’s two masters, Elder Turtle and Elder Crane.

The two stood at the door looking at Zhao Ya. Elder Crane spoke first, "Commandery Princess, on this joyous day, where are you planning to go?"

"Honored Masters, my father is causing trouble outside, aren’t you going to do something?"

The Turtle and Crane Elders looked at each other, and Elder Crane smiled wryly, "We’re going to manage the Prince?"

Zhao Ya said, "Even if you can’t control Father, you can’t just stand by while he causes trouble. On my wedding day, he plans for a violent encounter, what’s he up to?"

On hearing this, Elder Crane said, "Yaya, this is your fault. Your father does this for your own good."

Zhao Ya responded, "For my own good?"

Elder Crane said, "Indeed, it’s for your own good. Only by letting Chen Jiusi know that marrying you is not easy will he cherish you. Otherwise, a Commandery Princess marrying him would make people look down on you."

"Especially since he doesn’t have a wife yet; surely you understand!"

"But Jiu Si and I truly love each other. I’m not afraid of such rumors."

"Your father is afraid!"

At this moment, Elder Turtle suddenly spoke, although his speech was not clear. He had suffered injuries to his tongue, and though he had been treated extensively, he still spoke unclearly.

However, Zhao Ya understood this sentence.

She was somewhat taken aback, and Elder Crane said, "Yaya, you need to understand your father’s position. He’s maintained his dignity his whole life, never spoken soft words, never compromised. It’s only on your matter that he’s compromised; you need to give him some credit."

On hearing Elder Crane’s words, Zhao Ya fell silent. After a long pause, she said, "I know my father has sacrificed a lot for me, but if there’s a violent encounter today, it would be an embarrassment!"

Elder Crane said, "Whether or not it turns violent also depends on your Jiusi. If he makes a move, then he truly won’t get to marry you. If he doesn’t, or even says something soft in the end, your father won’t pursue it too much either."

"Of course, if he really has the ability to let your father get up from the chair without losing face, then it would be happy for all, and your father won’t say much. After all, you know the Prince, he appreciates smart people!"

Zhao Ya looked at Elder Crane and said, "Is there a way to get my father to rise from the chair?"

Elder Crane fell silent.

Zhao Ya said, "With all you smart people unable to make my father rise, how can you expect Jiusi to do it?"

Elder Crane said, "If he can’t outsmart us, what right does he have to marry you, the Commandery Princess?"

On hearing this, Zhao Ya was momentarily speechless and said, "I really don’t know what you’re thinking, this is the most significant thing of my life!"

Elder Crane said, "Precisely because it’s the most important thing of your life, the Prince behaves this way."

Hearing this, Zhao Ya remained silent. After a long pause, she said, "Fine, go ahead and create havoc, ruin my wedding so you can be satisfied!"

Outside in the courtyard, a chilling military aura filled the atmosphere; countless military chills gathered on the Ruyang King. At this time, the Ruyang King sat boldly and upright, his position was clearly the formation eye of the military formation.

Though the Ruyang King’s strength was only at the First Turn of Melt God, ranking merely tenth on the Heavenly List, no one dared to underestimate him, for his true prowess lay in the Military Array Technique.

Being in the formation, through the Military Array Power, he could be as formidable as the first or second on the Heavenly List.

He was someone who could wield the Military Array Technique up to thirty percent, knowing that generally, people who could display the Military Array Technique at fifteen percent were considered famous generals.

Being able to harness it up to twenty percent was already top-tier generals of this era, and the Ruyang King’s strongest was being able to harness the Military Array Power to thirty percent. That was enough to match a Fourth Turn of the Melt God with just First Turn strength.

The strength of his power was entirely dependent on the strength of the military formation.

At this time, the ten thousand White Deer Army formed a formation, boosting the Ruyang King’s strength to the Peak of Melt God Second Turn. At this strength, it was challenging for Chen Jie to force the Ruyang King to rise without damaging the chair.

In an instant, all the pressure shifted to Chen Jiusi’s side; everyone was watching how he would handle the situation.

And seeing this scene, Hu Weiyong whispered to Chen Xiaohu, "Tiger General, things don’t look right. Go quickly to invite Master Yushan and Laughing Buddha; if nothing else works, we might have to use force."

"Hey!"

Chen Xiaohu agreed, but just as he was about to move, Chen Jie spoke up, "Stop!"
