Shi Junling looked steadily at Shi Changde, her voice carrying a defiant edge as she demanded, "Why! If Pan Dongjie had won this martial arts tournament, would you have forced him to marry into our family as a resident son-in-law?"
Shi Changde's face darkened, and he retorted coldly, "Their backgrounds are entirely different. Pan Dongjie comes from a prestigious martial arts lineage, with several highly respected masters in his family. They are our social equals. Naturally, he wouldn't need to marry into our family."
"As for Mi Changrong, he comes from an ordinary background with no prominent status or notable figures in his family. For him to marry you is a step up, so joining our family as a resident son-in-law is only natural. Besides, he must also hand over the Earth-grade high-tier Martial Technique he used the other day as a betrothal gift to the Shi family. Otherwise, I will never consent to your union."
