A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6169

Jared's brow lifted slightly.

Matched by bloodline and joined as cultivation partners?

Wasn't that just forced pairing?

A trace of doubt passed through him, but nothing showed on his face.

He only gave a small nod.

Vice Preceptor Vale saw how calm Jared looked and took it for interest. He kept going with a smile. "Jared, since you carry a Sovereign Bloodline, I naturally won't mistreat you.

"To be honest, there happens to be a female disciple in the Hallowmere Order whose bloodline is also top-tier. She's only one step away from entering the Sacred Grade. The two of you are a match made by heaven. I'll make the decision myself and give her to you in marriage. What do you think?"

Jared only looked at him in silence.

Vice Preceptor Vale took that silence for hesitation and smiled again. "Jared, there's no need to worry. Leave this matter to me.

Come. Go invite Miss Evelyn."

A disciple acknowledged the order and hurried out.

A moment later, a slender figure walked in from outside the hall.

She was a young woman in a plain white dress. Her long dark hair fell like a sheet of silk to her waist.

Her face was strikingly beautiful, her brows distant and fine, her eyes clear like autumn water. But there was a chill in them, and underneath it, something dim and hard to notice.

She stopped in the middle of the hall, bent slightly, and spoke in a cool voice. "Evelyn greets Vice Preceptor."

Vice Preceptor Vale smiled and waved a hand. "Evelyn, no need for that. Come, let me introduce you. This is Jared, my young friend. He carries a Sovereign Bloodline, and his talent is exceptional.

"I've already decided to give you to him in marriage. From now on, the two of you will be cultivation partners. You'll cultivate together and seek the Great Dao together."

At those words, Evelyn's face shifted slightly. She raised her head and let her gaze settle on Jared.

There was scrutiny in that look. Confusion too. And one more thing she couldn't quite hide—resistance.

She bit her lip and spoke under her breath. "Vice Preceptor... Evelyn is unwilling."

Vice Preceptor Vale's smile locked in place.

The air in the hall froze on the spot.

A moment later, the smile slowly left Vice Preceptor Vale's face. In its place came a trace of coldness.
