"Child, I know you feel wronged, but please don't feel wronged right now..."
In the room, the white-haired elder looked at the expressionless youth and said earnestly, "This marriage was arranged by your mother."
"And although that Lu girl has some flaws, she's beautiful. She's the number one beauty on the South Province Rouge Ranking."
"Marrying a wife like that is actually... not bad, right?"
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Qiu's expression finally changed.
The corners of his mouth twitched!
Lu Li was indeed beautiful, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and a good figure, especially her long legs...
But she had a terrible temper!
A temper so bad it was outrageous!
Ye Qiu had merely gone to Chunfeng Tower with friends, just to drink and listen to music, he hadn't done anything else, yet that girl chased him for three days and three nights with her sword.
If I had actually done something, then I'd deserve to be cut down, but I didn't...
What, fight her?
Listen carefully...
Lu Li, the top academy in South Province, one of the Ten Core Disciples, and the youngest core disciple in history.
Her talent was monstrous... you could even say she was a demon!
Moreover, she was a Sword Cultivator!
Known as the Combat Power Ceiling!
She wasn't just good at fighting!
Ye Qiu wasn't bad either. In this South Province, he was definitely a notable figure among his peers!
At seventeen this year, he had already reached the Tongxuan Realm... even the seventy or eighty-year-old elders in his family were only at the Tongxuan Realm!
But against that woman, he could at most withstand one sword strike... because after that one strike, he would already be down!
The key was...
Her teacher was also formidable, one of the three super mentors of that top academy, Nan Qingyue!
More importantly, her teacher was also female, also a Sword Cultivator, incredibly powerful, and extremely protective of her disciples...
No, Her teacher wasn't just protective, she was biased, covering for her, making absolutely no sense!
In her eyes, her disciple was never wrong, whatever she did was right. If you had a conflict with her disciple, it was your problem.
If you couldn't recognize your own mistakes, she'd help her disciple beat you up!
Who could tolerate marrying such a woman... In the future, your family status might not even be as high as a dog's!
Anyway, I'm a coward.
Come at me if you don't believe me?
"No, absolutely not!" Ye Qiu looked at the old man with a determined expression, "Grandfather, I'm your biological grandson, you can't just watch me fall into a fire pit, can you?"
"Think of a way to break off this engagement for me!"
The elder, Wen Zheng, also looked displeased, "But I've tried every method I could think of, and they just don't listen!"
Wen Zheng was also helpless. He had seen many outstanding people, and his grandson was quite good, destined for greatness in time.
But compared to that Lu girl... it seemed they weren't even on the same level.
With that girl's excellence, if she wanted to, the outstanding talents from the top noble families in South Province would definitely line up to propose to her.
But she seemed to have made up her mind, like she had swallowed a scale weight, refusing everyone and everything, insisting on marrying Ye Qiu!
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, "Can't you hold on a little longer?"
Wen Zheng sighed, "Your grandfather is old and really can't hold on any longer."
Ye Qiu glared, "Do you have no regard for my deceased mother?"
Wen Zheng sighed again, "I'd like to have regard for her, but your grandfather is also afraid of getting beaten..."
He said this with a bitter expression.
That girl could fight.
Her teacher could fight even more!
And they were quite ruthless when they attacked!
He had experienced it before!
It wasn't pleasant...
"No, I have to run!" Seeing that his grandfather was unreliable, Ye Qiu had to save himself.
"Well, you might not be able to run," Wen Zheng rubbed his nose.
Ye Qiu looked at him.
Wen Zheng said, "The Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, West Elder... are all guarding outside the mansion, at the front and back doors. They take turns standing guard twenty-four hours a day until you are sent to the South Province's number one academy!"
Ye Qiu's fur directly bristled. "How can they do this?"
He said in exasperation, "I've been fighting for the Wen Family since I was ten. Over the years, how many great contributions have I made to the Wen Family?"
"Isn't half of the Wen Family's current status and resources something I fought for?"
"Look at the seventy or eighty wounds on my body. Which one wasn't left for the Wen Family?"
Wen Zheng nodded. "Yes, they all know your efforts and recognize your good deeds. However, they are also human, and they are afraid of getting beaten! That Instructor Nan already said that if she doesn't see you, she will destroy the Wen Family!"
Ye Qiu's face became extremely ugly. "You guys really have no backbone!"
Wen Zheng gave a wry smile. "You're the only one with backbone in our family. Fine, can you just bear with it a little longer?"
Ye Qiu: "..."
He took a deep breath and looked at Wen Zheng with a disheartened expression. "I knew it. A maternal grandson isn't a biological grandson. It doesn't matter what I do!"
"It's good that you understand."
Ye Qiu: "..."
Wen Zheng stood up. "Rest well. Three days from now is the day you depart. We will personally escort you."
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Qiu to retort, he had already gotten up and rushed out of the room at extreme speed.
Ye Qiu stared blankly at the ceiling, looking utterly lifeless.
His head hurt from anger.
It hurt a lot!
To be honest, it wasn't like I was lacking. From childhood to adulthood, I was always the one bullying others. Even when facing the prodigies from the noble families in South Capital, I wouldn't be bullied to the point of losing all my temper.
But...
Just tell me, why would a woman play with a sword? Why would a woman be so good at fighting?
