"Withdraw the engagement?"
Xue Qingqing blinked her eyes in disbelief. The success rate of this method wasn't high either.
She thought for a moment and said, "But, if I were to marry the young master of Thousand Gold City, then my father would have no obstructions in the city."
"Does your father not care about what you think?" Ye Xuan asked.
"Actually, I agreed to it before, but then I went back on my word." Xue Qingqing said somewhat helplessly.
"Since you've agreed, why did you escape the marriage?" Ye Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Because my father's business is getting bigger and bigger, the mayor would never let him have the majority of the business in the Thousand Gold City, so I had no choice but to agree. But then, I heard that this young city lord is really ugly … "
Before Xue Qingqing could finish, Ye Xuan had already burst out laughing.
"Why are you still smiling at such a time? Hurry up and think of a way or else if you let Commander Liu return to the Thousand Gold City then even the Cloud City will be in trouble." Xue Qingqing said with dissatisfaction.
"Haha, I'm going to die from laughter. Do you think the other party is ugly?" Ye Xuan laughed until his stomach hurt.
"Hmph. Isn't it all because of you? Who asked you to reject my father's marriage?" Xue Qingqing pouted.
"Err …"
Ye Xuan's laughter suddenly stopped, and he said: "Since that's the case, then we have a method right now."
"What method?"
"That's easy. Just say that I like you!" Ye Xuan replied.
Xue Qingqing was stupefied. It was only after a long while that she reacted and coquettishly said, "Haven't you already planned this out?"
"Plan what?"
"The plan is for me to end the engagement."
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, and said: "How could that be? I only came out to save you because I saw you in a state of extreme agony. Or else, do you really think I've taken a fancy to you?"
"Hmph."
Xue Qingqing didn't refute him, but agreed.
She didn't know if this method would work, but it was quite likely. After all, Ye Xuan's father Ye Chong had once saved her family.
At the same time, Xue Qingqing was also asking herself, if the target of this engagement was not Thousand Gold City's City Lord but Ye Xuan, would she reject it?
Ye Xuan was also extremely helpless. He truly wanted to help Xue Qingqing without any other thoughts.
Although his physical body was only 15 years old, his mental age was already over 20. How could he fall in love with a 14 year old girl?
After a quick search, Ye Xuan and Mu Qingqing rode the same horse, preparing to leave the eighteen mountain ranges.
However, after they left, a figure suddenly walked out. It was Commander Liu who had hidden himself earlier.
"Damn it, how can this brat be so strong? Even Master Yuan is not his opponent. Damn it, he's leading. It seems like I can only let them go first and then take a detour back to the Thousand Gold City!"
Commander Liu revealed a resentful expression before turning around to leave.
… ….
Originally, Ye Xuan had wanted to go to the Moyun Sect after obtaining the Hundred Beast Bloodline. With his current strength, he could easily take down the head disciple of the Moyun Sect.
However, things had suddenly changed. Thus, he could only change his plan and make a trip to the Thousand Gold City.
This time, he was going to enter the dragon's lagoon. After all, Wan Jin City Lord was the ninth stage Warrior, and had many experts under him. If he was not careful, he might fall into the abyss of hell.
However, according to Xue Qingqing, Xue Hai's business had been getting bigger and bigger in the recent years. Half of the properties in the Thousand Gold City were his.
If there was a lot of money, then the experts that were hired must be quite a lot and their power should not be much weaker than the Mayor of Thousand Gold City.
Ye Xuan and Xue Qingqing spent a few days and arrived at the Thousand Gold City.
"Dad! Dad! I'm back! Come out quickly and see who it is!" As soon as Xue Qingqing returned to the Xue Clan, she hopped and ran inside.
Ye Xuan was also shocked, because the size of the Xue Residence was probably many times larger than the Ye Family. It had to be known, the Ye Family was a family, and the Xue Family only had Xue Hai and the other two.
Xue Qingqing had yet to enter the door when a Xue Clan guard informed her. Not long later, a meatball-like figure ran out from inside. It looked to be at least two hundred and fifty catties in weight.
This meatball was actually Xue Qingqing's father, Xue Hai. He rolled all the way to Xue Qingqing and said, "Aiyo, my little aunt, you're finally back."
"Dad, in the few days that I've been gone, why have you gotten fat again?" Xue Qingqing looked at him for a moment before speaking in surprise.
"Little girl, you suddenly ran away. Daddy is extremely worried, so Daddy can only eat six meals a day to distract himself."
At this time, his gaze landed on Ye Xuan as well, and said: "Aiyo, nephew, you're here too. Haha, many thanks to you this time. I thought I was going to search the entire world for this girl."
"Uncle, long time no see." Ye Xuan smiled as he cupped his fists.
In his memory, Xue Hai was pretty good to him. Previously, he would often bring Xue Qingqing to Lianyun City. However, after the business has expanded, there wasn't much time left.
"Come, come, let's talk inside."
Xue Hai brought the two of them inside and sat down. He weighed more than 200 pounds, so he could only sit on a special chair.
"Qing Qing, have you come back with a plan?" Xue Hai asked.
"I've thought it through. I'm going to end the engagement. I'm not going to marry that ugly bastard …" Xue Qingqing nodded.
He wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Girl, if you didn't marry, what did you promise to do? Now they have already sent over fifty million silver taels. If you go to end the engagement, don't mention returning double the price, someone would definitely beat you up."
Chapter 48 - Withdrawal of Marriage?
"Who knew that guy was so ugly? I almost vomited after I looked at the portrait. If I were to see a real person, wouldn't I puke my intestines out? " Xue Qingqing hurriedly said, but she did not dare to recall it for fear that she would vomit last night's dinner.
"Then what should we do? The mayor will definitely not agree to it! " Xue Hai wiped off his cold sweat.
He was the most successful businessman in the Thousand Gold City. The betrothal gift of 50 million silver was double the amount, which was 1 million gold taels.
However, the target of Xue Qingqing's engagement was the young city lord of Thousand Gold City. If she went to cancel the engagement, wouldn't she be slapping the city lord's face?
In that case, they wouldn't be able to live in peace in the Thousand Gold City from now on.
"I don't care. Anyway, I'm not going to marry that ugly bastard, and Daddy, haven't you recruited so many ministers in the past few years? Our Xue Family isn't much worse than the Zhang Family, and we won't be able to cause a ruckus." Xue Qingqing said angrily.
"Little girl, you really know how to stir up trouble for me. It was good enough that you didn't agree to it at the time. Now you have made something big for daddy."
He also did not like Xue Qing marrying someone who was as ugly as a pig. Even though Xue Hai's talent was extremely high, and he had already been accepted as a direct disciple by a Elder of the Sky Cracking Sect.
As an outsider, Ye Xuan also shut his mouth tightly, unable to interrupt.
The three of them were silent for a while, but at this time, a Xue Clan servant suddenly came in.
"Master, someone from the City Lord's Mansion has arrived!"
"What?" "So fast?"
Xue Hai was shocked. He did not expect the Zhang Family's news network to be so good. Xue Qingqing had not even come back fo
r ten minutes when someone came.
"We must have been discovered when we were entering the city. Father, I don't care, in any case I'm going to break off the engagement. You decide for yourself, or I'll run away again." Xue Qingqing's heart skipped a beat as she replied.
"Don't, the world is so chaotic now, if you run around randomly, what if you meet some bad guy?" As Xue Hai said that, he also turned his head and said, "Quickly go and invite Master Lian. Then, invite the esteemed guest from the City Lord's Mansion in."
"Yes sir!"
The servant hurriedly left. Not long later, a middle-aged man walked in.
"Master Lian. This time, our Xue Clan may have a huge conflict with the Zhang Clan. I hope that Master Lian can help us. I agree to your conditions!" Xue Hai said painfully.
This Consecrate was a recent expert that he had invited over, and had already reached the ninth stage of the Martial Dao. But the other party's price was too high, equivalent to the price of five people who were at the peak of the eighth stage of the Martial Dao, so Xue Hai was a little hesitant.
However, right now, he could only agree to it!
"Haha, that's fine. Since I'm the Guardian of the Xue family, then I will definitely make a move." This Chief Reverend was also full of smiles because he could get 10 million silver taels every month. Furthermore, he could get this without doing anything at all.
After that, that Chief Company Leader was standing behind Xue Hai and after a short while, the people from the city lord's residence also entered.
"So it's General Chen. Greetings, my Lord!" When Xue Hai saw the newcomer, he hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands together.
This General Chen was the guardian general of the Thousand Gold City, and at the same time, he was also one of the City Lord's trusted aides.
Upon entering, he noticed Xue Qingqing, who was sitting beside him. He asked, "Aside from Xue Eversnow, do you know the purpose of my visit?"
Xue Hai smiled embarrassedly and said: "I know. I'm sure General Chen must have come for the marriage of my daughter."
"That's right. Since Miss Xue has already returned to Thousand Gold City, the City Lord will not pursue Miss Xue's escape from the marriage. The City Lord has set a time. Three days from now, it will be the engagement date between Miss Xue and the Young City Lord." General Chen said.
"This …" Xue Hai hesitated for a moment, but he didn't know how to start.
"Does Steward Xue have any other opinions?" I will pass the message to the City Lord on my behalf. " General Chen said.
Xue Hai glanced at Xue Qingqing and saw that the latter was close to tears. His heart skipped a beat as he said: "General Chen, I hope you can help me tell the Mayor that this marriage won't work. I will double the engagement fee and send it back to the Zhang Mansion!"
"What? You want to end the engagement?" Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? " General Chen said in disbelief.
In the Thousand Gold City, the City Lord was the eldest. However, there was actually someone who dared to break off the marriage engagement with the City Lord. This was akin to slapping the City Lord's face.
The most important thing was, the target was the young city lord of Thousand Gold City!
"Yes, I have already decided on this matter. General Chen, please inform the City Lord." Xue Hai braced himself and said.
"It's really the opposite. Xue Hai, do you really think your Xue Clan can go against the City Lord? Young City Lord has already taken a fancy to Miss Xue. If you dare to withdraw from this marriage, I'm afraid you won't be able to do as you wish in the Thousand Gold City. " General Chen reminded him.
Xue Hai gritted his teeth and said: "See the guests out!"
"Good, very good. I will definitely pass on these words to the City Lord word for word. Farewell!" General Chen said angrily as he turned around to leave.
Even though he was at the peak of the eighth stage of the Martial Dao, he could feel that the person behind Xue Hai was not simple at all. At the very least, he was at the ninth stage of the Martial Dao.
After General Chen left, Xue Qingqing also immediately rushed over and hugged Xue Hai. She fiercely kissed him on the cheek. "Daddy is the best."
"Little girl, you've stirred up so much trouble for father this time. If I knew earlier, why did you agree to this marriage?" Xue Hai said helplessly while squeezing his fleshy face.
"I already said that I'm regretting it. Who told you to be so slow with your drawing. Alright, that guy is ugly as a reason. Secondly, it's actually because of him." As Xue Qingqing spoke, she suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan with her flower-like finger.
Xue Hai was somewhat confused and did not understand.
Xue Qingqing explained, "I'm not bad looking either. I'm going to marry someone like Ye Xuan no matter what, and didn't you already want to marry me to him before this?"
"You mean, you want to marry Ye Xuan?" Xue Hai was startled, and immediately reacted, saying: "That won't do, you little girl. After you annulled the City Lord's engagement, if you marry Ye Xuan now, wouldn't that harm him?"
Xue Hai was actually also a Warrior, but he was made from Dan and he was essentially a merchant.
It didn't matter who his future son-in-law was. It didn't matter whether he was in the Strongman or ordinary people, as long as his brain wasn't stupid and was able to take over his business.
"Father, don't underestimate Ye Xuan. Do you know what realm he is in now?" Xue Qingqing's beautiful eyes suddenly turned as she said playfully.
"What realm?" Xue Hai asked.
Actually, he had heard that Ye Xuan was the number one genius of the Ye Family. However, Lian Yun City was only a small city, and the geniuses there weren't worth mentioning when they arrived at Thousand Gold City.
In the Thousand Gold City, there were many that had reached the fourth stage of the Martial Dao at the age of fifteen, and had all been accepted by the Cloud Cracking Sect as outer disciples.
Chapter 49 - Conspiracy
"He is currently at the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Dao. I repeat, he is at the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Dao!" Xue Qingqing looked as if she was the one who had achieved her goals.
"What?! This is impossible!" Xue Hai exclaimed.
It had only been a little more than a month since Ye Xuan had broken through to the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao. However, in this one month, Ye Xuan had consecutively jumped by eleven levels.
I saw Ye Xuan's strength increase with my own eyes, and you also didn't know, Father, that a Strongman came from Lianyun City earlier and gave some pointers to the Old Master of the Lin Family. After that, the Old Master of the Lin Family directly broke through from the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Dao all the way to the ninth stage. " Xue Qingqing explained.
"This …"
Xue Hai held his head. This information was too much, he couldn't react to it.
"Furthermore, Ye Xuan was accepted by the sect master as a disciple. He is definitely worthy of me. Xue Qingqing added.
Ye Xuan frowned at the side. He had not even entered the sect yet, how could he be accepted as a disciple by the sect master?
However, he quickly realized that he was taking advantage of this situation.
With his current talent, he would definitely be able to take over the position of the head disciple of the sect master and become a disciple of the sect master.
"Hahahaha..."
However, just as Xue Qingqing finished her sentence, the nearby Chief Reverend Lian suddenly laughed.
"Uncle, what are you laughing about?" Xue Qingqing asked, puzzled.
"Little girl, you can't lie to us like this." Chief Lian shook his head.
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, go take a look at his cultivation realm." Xue Qingqing pouted.
Master Lian shook his head and said, "Haha, what I'm talking about is not his realm. I can feel that this guy is already at the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Dao. I'm talking about him, he can't p
ossibly be the disciple of the sect master! "
"Why not?" Xue Qingqing couldn't understand. Was there a flaw in this lie?
"Little girl, stop messing around, even Master Lian is the Cloud Breaking Sect's mentor!" At this time, Xue Hai reminded him.
What?
Hearing this, both Xue Qingqing and Ye Xuan were stunned. The person in front of them, was actually a teacher from the Moyun Sect?
No wonder the lie was suddenly exposed, it turned out to be like this!
"Hmph, you were before, but now you aren't." Xue Qingqing said stubbornly.
"I've already left the sect, but I know that the sect master cannot accept him as his disciple. The sect master isn't here, so the vice sect master is in charge." Master Lian said with a smile.
Xue Qingqing was at a loss for words. She then quibbled, "I was just talking about the Vice Sect Leader. I just didn't make it clear."
"Up to you, but since I'm the consecrate of the Xue Clan now, I can help you with this lie." After all, he had accepted their money.
"Then thank you very much." After all, with Ye Xuan's talent, forget about the Cloud Cracking Sect, even if he went to the Sky Cracking Sect, the Sect Master would most likely take a fancy to him.
"It's fine." Master Lian said with a smile.
Sure enough, after a short while, another servant came in to report.
"Old master, the city lord has personally come!"
Before he could finish speaking, a few figures walked in.
A strange expression flashed across Xue Hai's face as he hurriedly went forward and said: "Greetings City Lord!"
This time, Wan jin City Lord personally came, he was a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and handsome looks.
However, the young man behind him was as ugly as a pig. His eyes were bronze, his nostrils flared, and his mouth was wide open.
When Ye Xuan saw this person, his stomach started to churn, and Xue Qingqing did not dare to look him in the face, as she was afraid that she would vomit out all the tea she had just drunk.
