Kang Shi's father didn't perceive this matter as particularly challenging. After all, he had been pleading for the past two years. Despite the pressure from the True Martial Race, the engagement was established by them, and as long as they were unwilling, the True Martial Race had no alternative.
Considering Kang Shi's youth at 18, there was still room for improvement in the future. In the past, he had excelled in cultivation, but now faced a bottleneck. Overcoming it would restore everything.
Furthermore…
If the True Martial Race remained unwilling, there was the option of letting Kang Shi follow the youngest daughter of the True Martial Race's Clan Leader back to their clan. At present, lacking a marriage contract with the True Martial Race made survival in the clan challenging.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in understanding.
Kang Shi's father wished to preserve the engagement, and she committed to following his guidance.
