Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Guu and Qin Alliance Through Marriage
Fang Family, inside the main hall.
At the head seat, sat a middle-aged man with a dignified bearing.
The middle-aged man solemnly lifted the teacup, squinting as he blew on it.
In the next moment, gulp...
A cup of tea, downed in one go.
At the lower seat, Xiao Yi likewise lifted the teacup, just about to take a sip, but upon seeing the middle-aged man’s action, he almost spat out a mouthful of water.
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man put down the teacup and laughed heartily, "So Xiao Yixiao is a friend of Shushu."
"Earlier, my Fang Family’s butler was indeed a bit disrespectful."
The dignity on the middle-aged man’s solemn face instantly vanished.
Replaced by an air of straightforwardness and unconventionality.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "Fang Family Head, you’re too kind."
Indeed, the middle-aged man before him was none other than the Fang Family Head, referred to by Fang Shushu as the Martial Arts Fool of a father.
Just now, outside the Fang Mansion, there was merely a minor misunderstanding, which Fang Muxue had already explained.
The butler wasn’t afraid, just irritated.
Beside him, the butler looked at Xiao Yi apologetically, "Young Master Xiao Yi, I was quite offensive earlier."
"It’s just..." the butler looked amazed, "for so many years, this is the first time Young Master Shushu has a friend visiting."
"No harm done." Xiao Yi waved his hand.
According to Fang Muxue, years ago, the most impressive occasion was when more than half of the Sect Leaders, Family Heads, and Sect Masters in Four-direction City banded together to seek an explanation from Fang Family.
Later, Fang Shushu went out for training.
In the Four-direction Domain, big and small forces continuously came to Fang Family seeking explanation.
The Fang Family Head was truly annoyed, so he simply issued an order to the entire mansion, saying that if anyone came looking for Fang Shushu, they should say no such person existed.
At this moment, the Fang Family Head chuckled heartily, "That rebellious son, Shushu, not only didn’t cause any trouble this time but also made friends with a supreme monster like Xiao Yixiao."
"It’s rare, truly rare."
"The Heavenly Hidden Academy is indeed remarkable, actually taught Shushu so well."
The Fang Family Head, with an expression of great comfort.
"Oh, by the way." The Fang Family Head looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Since you’re that rebellious son’s friend, you must also be an Academy Disciple, right?"
"Which peak of the Academic Palace do you study under?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, "Fang Family Head misunderstood, I’m not an Academy Disciple, but a disciple of Black Cloud Academy."
"Black Cloud Academy?" The butler’s face changed, "That bunch of street rats? Always acting strange..."
"Hm?" The Fang Family Head’s face darkened, glaring at the butler.
The butler quickly stopped speaking.
The Fang Family Head’s expression relaxed, smiling at Xiao Yi, "Black Cloud Academy is rather good too, though ranked 12, it’s filled with prodigies."
Xiao Yi nodded, indifferent.
In his sensation, this Fang Family Head was definitely a Martial Arts powerhouse.
His aura was profound and unfathomable.
The impression he gave Xiao Yi even surpassed the eight Vice Hall Masters.
Just at this moment, a Fang Family Martial Artist briskly entered from outside the main hall.
"Family Head." The elder was an elder, paid his respects to the Fang Family Head.
"Second Deacon, what’s the matter?" The Fang Family Head asked.
The elder took out an invitation, "Tonight’s the wedding of Miss Guu and Mr. Qin."
"The Guu Family specially sent an invitation."
"Hmm, understood." The Fang Family Head nodded.
"Eh?" At this time, the elder looked at Xiao Yi, "Who is this?"
"Young friend, have we met before?" The elder asked puzzledly, "Why do I feel you look familiar."
Xiao Yi smiled.
He indeed recognized this elder, as he had fought him in the Four-direction Dangerous Land.
Later, this elder even scolded Chen Xing.
The Fang Family Head smiled and said, "Second Deacon, you must have mistaken, this young friend Xiao Yixiao is here for the first time today."
"He’s Shushu’s friend and a very talented Martial Arts Genius."
"Young Master’s friend?" The elder was stunned, his expression strange as if strongly suppressing laughter.
"It’s the first time Young Master has had a friend visiting."
After saying that, the elder paid his respects and then left.
"Father." At this moment, Fang Muxue looked at the invitation and showed urgency.
"Really letting Guu and Qin Families marry?"
The Fang Family Head nodded, "Fang, Guu, Qin, these three families are the Three Great Families of the Four-direction Domain."
"Our every move is connected to the entire Four-direction Domain."
"The Guu Family married into our Fang Family many years ago, and we’ve been getting along well ever since."
"If the Guu Family also marries into the Qin Family now."
"Our relationship with the three families could greatly improve, it would be beneficial to the entire Four-direction Domain."
"But..." Fang Muxue said urgently, "Matters of love should be mutual, and the Qin Family is just being one-sided..."
The Fang Family Head shook his head and interrupted, "Enough, don’t discuss this any further."
"Father..." Fang Muxue’s face was full of anger.
The Fang Family Head softened his expression and said, "Muxue, today is a day of great joy for the Guu Family."
"Instead of running away, you should go give your congratulations."
"Tonight, you shall attend the banquet."
"And young friend Xiao Yi." The Fang Family Head looked at Xiao Yi and smiled, "I never like to join these gatherings."
"If young friend Xiao Yi has nothing else to do, why not join in the celebration."
While saying this, the Fang Family Head winked at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi understood, nodding knowingly.
The Fang Family Head, known as a Martial Arts Fool, naturally dislikes such gatherings.
As for his suggestion to have Xiao Yi go, likely it was to have him keep an eye on Fang Muxue.
After all, it was Xiao Yi who safely brought the runaway Fang Muxue back.
Xiao Yi laughed softly.
For him, staying a few more days in Four-direction City, joining the fun wouldn’t harm.
...
At dusk.
Xiao Yi, Fang Muxue, and the maid headed towards the Qin Family.
"Young Master Xiao Yi, please, I beg you." Fang Muxue looked at Xiao Yi with pleading eyes.
"I’ll think about it." Xiao Yi forced a smile, giving no definite answer.
To snatch the bride publicly on the joyous day of Guu and Qin Families? Fang Muxue actually thought this up.
But with Fang Muxue’s character, causing chaos at the wedding banquet might really go to extremes.
If it truly happens... the Guu and Qin Families might chase her down.
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Of course, if it truly happens, the next time he sees Fang Shushu, would that be good?
"Alas." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but sigh.
"Why is Young Master Xiao Yi sighing?" Fang Muxue asked with confusion.
"It’s nothing." Xiao Yi shook his head.
Before long, the three arrived at the Guu Family.
The area surrounding the Guu Family for dozens of miles was already brightly decorated, with visiting family forces coming incessantly.
Being one of the Three Great Families of Four-direction Domain, no, two, the Qin and Guu Families’ wedding was indeed grand and well-celebrated.
The three arrived at the entrance of the Guu Family, but several Qin Family Martial Artists blocked the way.
"Fang Muxue, you dare come?" A Qin Family elder shouted coldly.
"Secretly sabotaging our Qin and Guu Families’ relations, utterly despicable."
"Wanting to ruin the union between Miss Yun Shang and our family’s Mr. Qin, does that bring you joy?"
"Step aside." Fang Muxue’s eyes turned cold.
"Daring to cause a scene at the wedding of the Guu and Qin Families?" Several Qin Family Martial Artists sneered.
"Stop." Just then, a cold voice came.
An elder walked briskly over.
"A Guu Family butler?" Several Qin Family Martial Artists frowned.
"Muxue, Miss has invited you." The elder ignored the Qin Family Martial Artists and looked at Fang Muxue with a smile.
"Yes." Fang Muxue nodded with joy.
The three entered the Guu Family.
Soon, in the backyard of the Guu Family, inside a boudoir room.
Fang Muxue dashed right in and ran towards a woman, "Aunt Yun Shang."
...
First update.
There will be three updates today. It might be late, but they will surely be completed, rest assured.
However, there’s no need to wait, watching tomorrow after waking up works too.
