Chapter 429 - Claim a Marriage?
Under the terrifying speed of flying, Li Mu and Xiao Kuan quickly arrived at the room that the Shen family arranged for them.Li Mu and Xiao Kuan who had entered the room leisurely sat on the chairs in the room.
"Brother Li, your great display of power has completely stunned me, your brother. Tell me, how did you cultivate to have such a powerful Spiritual Awareness? Can you also teach me?"Since he had nothing better to do, Xiao Kuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
I"m sorry, I was born, I can"t teach you, you better consider carefully what we should do tomorrow. Sigh, Nie Xiaoyu this girl said that she had gone to find news of Cai Qing for so long, I don"t know what she has done.
Li Mu didn"t want to talk about the reason behind his powerful spiritual consciousness, so he changed the topic.
"That"s right, this girl has already disappeared for a day, but she"s actually fine. Just based on your G.o.dly prowess just now, I don"t believe that the people from the Shen family would dare to look down on us and rebel against us!" After all, she is the reason for all this mess. Although we are here to help her, we need to consider her face and the face of her Shen Family! "
Xiao Kuan pondered for a moment, before replying with a serious expression.
"Brother Li!" Brother Xiao! It"s you! You actually came! "Just as Xiao Kuan had finished speaking, the doors to the houses of the two of them were suddenly pushed open, and a figure that Li Mu and Xiao Kuan were extremely familiar with walked in from outside.
"How can we not come? If we don"t come, you"ll be forced to be a Daoist partner tomorrow!"Upon seeing Shen Cai Qing, Xiao Kuan"s face lit up, and joked with a mischievous smile.
"Hehe, you must be joking, Brother Xiao. I"ve even disturbed you with such a small matter like this. However, I seem to only let Xiaoyu find Brother Li. Why did you come along as well?"
Facing Xiao Kuan"s teasing, Shen Cai Qing pursed his lips and smiled. Seeing Li Mu and Xiao Kuan, she seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Tch!" Do you think I"m willing to come, I just happened to be too bored staying in Gold Jade Sect, and coincidentally met Nie Xiaoyu that girl who was begging Brother Li to come and save you, that"s why I came over to take a look, do you think you have the face to move me! "Really!"
The corner of Xiao Kuan"s mouth rose, as he said unhappily."Alright!" , you better explain the situation to us properly. See how you wish for Xiao Kuan and I to help you! "
Li Mu interrupted Shen Cai Qing and Xiao Kuan"s teasing, and said with a serious tone.
Shen Cai Qing and Xiao Kuan looked at each other, then stopped joking around. Shen Cai Qing closed the door to his room, and activated a sound barrier which enveloped the entire room, and then sat opposite of Li Mu and Xiao Kuan.First of all, I still need to thank the two brothers for coming over to help. Regarding this matter, I believe that Xiao Yu has explained it to you clearly, Lu Xiong and I are indeed engaged to be married, and the wedding will be tomorrow. However, I can tell the two brothers that I truly do not wish to become Lu Xiong"s Dao-companion.
"If I, Shen Cai Qing, am unable to break through to the Divine Arts realm, then it would be fine. But since I have broken through to the Divine Arts realm, I do not want to be restricted by anyone, especially my own life!"
"I, Shen Cai Qing, yearn for freedom, so even if I die, I will not listen to the arrangements of the family. For the benefit of the family, I must become the clan"s bargaining chip and become Lu Xiong"s cultivation companion. Don"t even think about it!"
"It"s exactly because I don"t want to, that"s why I"m being imprisoned by the clan. My plan is like this, I want to take the initiative to request for Lu Xiong to annul the engagement with me in front of all the spectators tomorrow, and only then will I be able to break away from his relationship with the Lu Family!"
Shen Cai Qing revealed his thoughts to Li Mu and Xiao Kuan."Although your thoughts are just this one or two sentences, have you thought about whether your Shen family and the Lu Family can let you go? Furthermore, you dissolved the engagement with Lu Xiong in front of everyone who was here to watch the ceremony, isn"t this directly slapping your Shen family in the face? Li Mu asked with a faint smile.
"What"s there to be unwilling about? They used despicable means to trick me back and even imprisoned me. How could they treat me as a member of the Shen family? Since they are heartless, then don"t blame me for being unjust!"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Shen Cai Qing"s eyes, obviously, he was already completely disappointed in the Shen family.
"Good!" Even if you don"t care about that, how are you going to leave? You can"t be naive enough to think that if you mess up this matter, the Shen family will let you go, right? This is simply a dream! "
Also, how do you wish for me to help you? Although I have the status of a Master Heir, I estimate that for such a huge matter like the marriage between Lu Family and the Shen Family, representatives from my Gold Jade Sect will come tomorrow. If my Gold Jade Sect is used as a shield, then that would not be good, since you know that my Master Heir is just a fake name, I do not think that I have that much value in the Gold Jade Sect, to be able to cause a ruckus between your Shen Family and the Lu Family!Li Mu spoke very straightforwardly, spouting out all the benefits and disadvantages of the matter.
If you want to help me solve this problem, you can"t use the Gold Jade Sect as a shield. I can only do it in my own name, so I want you to take advantage of me.Shen Cai Qing had obviously antic.i.p.ated the interest in Li Mu"s words, as he suggested with a blush on his face.
"s.n.a.t.c.h the bride? You … You don"t really want me to use the kind of excuse that Nie Xiaoyu talked about to make a ruckus, do you?Li Mu immediately rolled his eyes when he heard about stealing the bride. He understood what Shen Cai Qing meant by that, was for him to say in front of everyone that he and Shen Cai Qing had already made a personal engagement, in that way could break the Lu Family"s mind to get married, and could also stop the Shen family"s thoughts. However, Li Mu did not want to do that, because doing so would not be good for both of their reputations.
"Puchi …" Hahaha, I think that"s fine, your relationship is not bad, even if you two have become cultivation companions, it is a very normal thing to do, furthermore, Brother Li, you have the support of Elder Chi Yun behind you, and Elder Ruan Qinghong behind him, I think no one will not see how you two are going to be like this! "
After Xiao Kuan heard Shen Cai Qing"s suggestion, he could not help but laugh out loud.
"Brother Li, just help little sister, I"m not even afraid of girls, what are you afraid of, furthermore, this is not for us to fake it, let"s fake it, as long as we return to the Gold Jade Sect, this is fine, other than that …" In addition, I can add ten drops of the Illuminating Spirit Primordial Water that I promised you, what do you think? "
Shen Cai Qing said his last sentence while quietly using the telepathic transmission, as if he did not want Xiao Kuan to hear the essence of his words.
"Mu Xiaozi, although this matter is indeed a little absurd, ten drops of Primordial Water would mean ten Spirit Rejuvenation Pills, and I think we can consider that!"
Just as Li Mu was at a loss, he suddenly heard Luan Tian"s voice. Luan Tian"s meaning was obvious, forget about other things, just for the 10 Spirit Rejuvenation Pills, Li Mu"s actions were worth it."Luan Tian!" This is not a small matter. Although we cultivators do things without restraint, but this is not in front of one or two people, who knows how many people will come tomorrow to spectate the ceremony. If I were to cause a ruckus like this and steal the bride in front of everyone"s eyes, what will happen if those words reach Mo Qingcheng"s ears? Li Mu replied to Luan Tian in his heart.
"You … It"s not like I want you and that little girl to pretend to be real, you can just explain it to your little lover when the time comes, that little girl might be cold, but she"s a reasonable person, why would you have to go through so much trouble with ten Spirit Opening Pill! "
he advised Li Mu with a disappointed tone.
"But …" "But I keep having the feeling that this isn"t so good …"
Just as Li Mu and Shen Cai Qing were discussing how to deal with the Duo Cultivation Ceremony tomorrow, twenty or so people were gathered in a conference hall in the Situ Family mansion, which was cla.s.sified as one of the ten great families of the Great Qin Empire. They seemed to be plotting something big.
"Situ Yuan, your Situ Family has secretly pledged allegiance to my Heartless Palace for over a thousand years, right? My Heartless Palace has also given you plenty of Situ Family meat over the years. Have you finished preparing the things that I"ve told you?"
She looked to be around thirty years old, and although her appearance was not outstanding, the True essence pressure that she emitted from her body was not simple. She was actually an old monster with later stage of Tongxuan, and from her words, it was obvious that she was someone from the Heartless Palace.Amongst these people, the majority of the Heartless Palace disciples were female, a total of fifteen or sixteen of them. They stood on both sides of the hall, and in the center of the hall, there were seven or eight people dressed in all sorts of different colored clothes, the leader of which was a pract.i.tioner from the Tongxuan realm. This person was not just some nameless person, she was the overlord of the White Cloud City, the current patriarch of the Situ Family, Situ Yuan.
"Elder Bing Xin, don"t worry. You told me to gather the high ranking members of my Situ Family and be on standby tomorrow. I"ve already given out the order and called back all twenty-three disciples of the Divine Arts realm and above that within a short period of time. They"re all waiting for Elder Bing Xin to give the order!"Standing below the great hall, Situ Yuan replied sincerely to Bing Xin, who was also at the same level of cultivation as him.
Then why didn"t I sense Situ Xuanxiao"s presence? It seems like you and Situ Jie aren"t the only ones with the Situ Family"s Tongxuan realm expert! " The expressionless Bing Xin said coldly.
"This... As we were unable to notify him, we did not disturb him. Elder Bing Xin, rest a.s.sured, with me and my brother and more than twenty divine ability members here, we will definitely be able to help you complete the mission! "
When they heard Bing Xin mention Situ Xuanxiao"s name, the expressions of the people below the great hall changed greatly, especially the patriarch of the Situ Family, Situ Yuan, he was rendered speechless by her words. But fortunately, the other person from the Situ Family stood up behind her and helped her explain."I don"t care what kind of situation Situ Xuanxiao that old fogey is in, but from what I know, he is not dead yet, and since he is not dead yet, he should listen to my Heartless Palace"s orders! It"s not that I"m looking down on you, but just you people alone are unable to help me accomplish tomorrow"s plan! "
The ice-cold Bing Xin slapped the table in front of her and froze the entire table, turning it into ice shards.
"Daoist Bing Xin, why are you angry? I, Situ Xuanxiao am here!"As Bing Xin angrily smashed the table, an old voice suddenly sounded in the main hall. A green light flashed in front of Situ Yuan and an old man with a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles appeared in the main hall …
