Upon hearing that the Sect Leader wanted to give Tao Hua to him in marriage, Zhao Rong was instantly dumbfounded.
He looked at the Sect Leader and said, "Sect Leader, didn't Tao Hua say you called me over because you wanted to pass the position of Sect Leader to me? Why do you now want to betroth Tao Hua to me?"
Hearing this, the Sect Leader sipped his tea, patted Zhao Rong's shoulder reassuringly, and said, "Young man, don't be afraid. I called you over to do both: to pass the position of Sect Leader to you and to betroth you to Tao Hua."
Hearing the Sect Leader's persistent offer, Zhao Rong glanced at Tao Hua. She sat beside him, shy, her face as lovely as a peach blossom. He licked his lips and said, "Sect Leader, you should really think this over. For an outstanding and beautiful girl like Tao Hua to marry someone like me... it would be a complete waste."
