An Arranged Marriage? / A One-Hit Kill?!

Even if they don't know each other and dare not draw their swords, their path in martial arts is destined to be short-lived.

On the other side

After Mo Qingyu left, he quickly found Mo Liyuan.

"Hehe, little sister, don't laugh at me. I just want to be a playboy; I have no interest in martial arts. I'll just assist you in the future!"

Upon seeing Mo Liyuan, Mo Qingyu did not feel that there was anything wrong with what she was doing.

Anyway, he's just a peak First Order martial artist. He'd be defeated in a few moves in a fight, and no one outside could beat him. It's better to just surrender and avoid any physical suffering.

Seeing Mo Qingyu's carefree and grinning face, Mo Liyuan was too lazy to scold him. After thinking it over, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Sigh, forget it, I can't be bothered with you anymore. Your behavior has already caused the Mu Family to lose face. As for how to explain it to Father, you can figure that out yourself."

"Don't worry, at most he'll be locked up for ten days or half a month. He can't possibly use family discipline, can he? After all, I'm his son, right? It shouldn't be that bad." Mo Qingyu chuckled, feeling that his calculations were pretty good.

"Don't you know your father's temper? Don't worry, I'll buy some medicine for you on the way back. You'll only need to lie in bed for ten days to two weeks at most."

Mo Liyuan smiled at Mo Qingyu, then turned and left without saying anything more.

Mo Qingyu was left standing there, still completely bewildered, muttering to herself, "Ten days or half a month? That can't be, right? With my constitution, it won't take more than three days!!"

The sun hangs high in the sky, its red rays shining brightly.

It was already afternoon, and during the break, Ling Feng and the others went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Zhao Ping laughed and joked the whole way, and he couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought about Mo Qingyu's performance on stage.

How dare you bully me?!

A martial arts master?!

Pah!!

Chapter Seventy-Six: A Marriage Alliance?

At the same time

Imperial Capital, Yanjing

Riverview Garden Villa No. 1

Since Luo Xiyan returned, she has been kept in solitary confinement.

This confinement was not the same as the usual confinement; it was merely a verbal warning from Luo Xuan, her father, but she could not disobey it.

Luo Xuan knew that Luo Xiyan was Magical Girls and knew that he couldn't keep her under control no matter what, so he could only think of some countermeasures.

As time went on, Luo Xiyan became increasingly disappointed in her father.

Even now, Luo Xuan still wants to use her as a tool for a political marriage?

The Luo Corporation dominates Yanjing, ranking first among the five major families in the Capital City. Does it need to form alliances with others?

What era are we living in??

In the main living room, Luo Xiyan and her father Luo Xuan sat facing each other at the table.

Luo Xuan was used to his daughter's cold attitude. His daughter was so outstanding, so as a father, he had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

She was spoiled by Su Mei. She was usually well-behaved and obedient, but at times like this, she didn't know how to behave properly.

Luo Xiyan's attire was as simple as usual. She sat there quietly, her long hair draped over her shoulders. Wearing a pink dress and white stockings, she looked like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, yet her beauty was breathtaking.

She wore a purple crystal necklace, which glowed slightly, making her skin appear as white as snow, like a celestial being descended to earth.

Pure as ice, unbearable to look at, breathtakingly beautiful, elegant and refined, gentle and warm like jade, clear as water, and incomparably Qingya.

Her brows were like frost and snow, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly beauty.

Although she remained outwardly calm, Luo Xuan could still sense the sadness in her eyes.

He saw all of this but didn't offer any words of comfort.

After all, she was his own daughter; it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sorry for her. But for the sake of his future career, he had no choice but to harden his heart and selectively ignore her.

Luo Xuan wields immense power, but he is not content with the status quo. Back in his family, wasn't he just an unknown nobody?

To achieve his current success, he has torn apart countless corpses, including the complete extermination of his own clansmen.

Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. He secretly orchestrated the events, and no one knew about them. This all happened more than a decade ago. Originally, he had married the woman he loved and had a beautiful and lovely daughter, Luo Xiyan. He planned to let go of everything and turn over a new leaf.

Human ambition is endless, and desires are boundless; they can never be satisfied.

As the mastermind behind a trillion-dollar conglomerate, Luo Xuan has even begun planning to gradually annex all the powerful families and influences in Yanjing.

However, it is clearly impossible to achieve the goal by relying solely on financial resources.

The assassins and suicide squads he secretly trained were already capable of holding their own against a regular battalion of soldiers. Equipped with advanced weaponry, many of his men were also super soldiers who had unlocked their Gene Lock.

Secretly, he had already begun the gene-modification experiments he had arranged, and if the experiments were successful, the significance would be extraordinary.

What can a group of super soldiers, impervious to gunfire, use to stop them?

Do you have your period?

However, all of this was done in the dark, but recently, his meticulous plan was leaked and discovered by the Ninth Bureau!

Although the situation was resolved quickly, Luo Xuan knew immediately that there must have been a traitor among the team responsible for the reconnaissance.

He was very curious about how the traitor had managed to evade the memory erasure plan. This needed to be strictly managed in the future. Sigh, the person in charge of this area would have to be replaced again.

However, when that team returned after completing their mission, what awaited them was an endless dark hell, where they were all bombed to death!

It's better to kill all the innocent than to let that traitor hiding among them go free!

Of course, the heads of each region were all elite talents he had carefully selected, and he personally oversaw the memory erasure process.

Those around him were eyeing him covetously; he had few trusted confidants. In this fierce battle, the only person he could truly trust was himself!

Luo Xuan has risen to his current position step by step through his deep cunning, far-sighted planning, and strategic brilliance.

His seemingly nonchalant attitude actually reveals that everything is under his complete control.

Finally, Luo Xuan couldn't sit still any longer. "Xi Yan, you've always been well-behaved and sensible since you were little, and you've always listened to your father. When you see Uncle Xuan later, remember to be nice to him."

"So, Father, are you planning to sell me?" Luo Xiyan's tone was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in it.

Luo Xuan was at a loss. "Xi Yan, I'm doing this for your own good. You are exceptionally capable, and the Luo Family will eventually be handed over to you, so I'm naturally at ease. But a marriage alliance with the Xuanyuan Family would also be of great benefit to you."

"As long as you agree to marry Xiaohan, I won't stop you from doing whatever you want in the future, and I'll give you whatever you desire."

Luo Xuan's earnest and persuasive manner suggested that he genuinely cared for Luo Xiyan's well-being.

However, anyone with a brain can see that this is just a temporary appeasement strategy.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside, and then the butler outside invited a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and with a dignified appearance into the house.

The middle-aged man's smooth face revealed a sharp, cold handsomeness. His dark, deep eyes shone with a captivating luster. His thick eyebrows, high nose, and exquisitely shaped lips all exuded nobility and elegance.

He exuded an aura of authority, clearly another big shot making his appearance. He wore a gentle smile and was incredibly approachable, but when he got to Luo Xuan's side, he immediately became low-key.

Luo Xuan wore a faint smile on his face, and then that ambiguous smile immediately made the newcomer tremble. He simply waved his hand in acknowledgment.

"President Luo."

Xuan De made a polite remark, found a seat for the third person, secretly glanced at Luo Xuan, and then carefully sat down.

His actions were like those of a child who had done something wrong, showing utmost respect and a hint of awe towards his teacher.

He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip. Although he was nominally the head of the Xuan Family, he was actually just a puppet, the so-called "representative".

However, as long as this marriage can be arranged, his position in the Xuan Family will undoubtedly become more secure.

He never dared to imagine that he could be linked to the Luo Family through marriage. Who in the entire Yanjing didn't know that Luo Xiyan was Luo Xuan's beloved daughter?

Looking at the younger generation, they are all beyond their reach, like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail, and you can't even see them normally.

Although Xuan De had long heard that the Luo Family's daughter was an unparalleled beauty, seeing is believing. When he actually saw Luo Xiyan's pure and beautiful face, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Thinking back to her own son, although he was also very outstanding, compared to Luo Xiyan, he was truly marrying above his station.

"Xi Yan, call him Uncle Xuan." Luo Xuan drank his tea, his tone gentle.

Luo Xiyan did not go against Luo Xuan's wishes and politely complied.

"I've long heard of Miss Luo's graceful figure and captivating beauty, but seeing her in person now, I, Xuan, am utterly ashamed of my own appearance."

Xuan De continued, but Luo Xiyan completely ignored him, leaving him somewhat at a loss. He could only give an awkward smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xuan, my daughter has been spoiled by me since she was little."

Luo Xuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly, but his words carried a different meaning than what he actually meant.

Even so, Xuan De dared not speak loudly.

"Uh... it's nothing. To be honest, it's really a case of Xi Yan Han being too good for him to marry Miss Xiyan."

Xuan De chuckled awkwardly, "Miss Xi Yan, don't worry. If Xiaohan has caused you any grievances, I will definitely beat that brat to death to apologize to you!"

Xuan De spoke with great conviction, and Luo Xuan, sitting to the side, seemed quite satisfied.

Luo Xiyan remained silent, simply sitting there quietly, though she desperately wanted to retort.

However, her long-standing upbringing made her subconsciously refrain from doing anything so outrageous.

She used to think that she was good enough to choose her own life, but now she realizes that no matter how well she does, she can't change her father's decision.

However, it's absolutely impossible for her to marry him.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xuan, I'm not feeling well. I'll go upstairs to rest first."

Luo Xiyan stood up, left a sentence, and left the living room without looking back.

Watching Luo Xiyan's departing figure, Luo Xuan suddenly fell into deep thought.

Once upon a time, he was an excellent father, but now he's struggling with something as trivial as a marriage alliance.

"Mr. Luo, how about this? I'll arrange for the two young people to meet sometime. They haven't met yet; maybe they'll like each other after they do? What do you think?"

Xuan De, having been through similar experiences, saw that the situation was not going well and offered a suggestion.

Although he was a few years older than Luo Xuan and was considered an elder, this wasn't a matter of seniority.

He was genuinely afraid that the moment he stepped outside, there would be sniper rifles pointed at him several times!

After all, the other party is in charge, and he wouldn't dare to force the issue. Whether or not to form a marriage alliance is entirely up to them.

Even if Luo Xuan really treated him like a monkey, he wouldn't dare to have the slightest thought of revenge, even though the Xuan Family was one of the five great families in the Imperial Capital.

But if his family found out he had offended Luo Xuan, his position as head of the family would be gone in an instant, and he might even be trampled to death.

Now, Luo Xuan is in charge of the entire the Luo Family, while he is nothing. The fact that he can have such an "equal" conversation is only because the other party is giving him face.

You're nothing but a dog of the Xuan Family, what are you anyway?

There were quite a few people in the family who wanted to see Xuan De fall from grace so they could take the opportunity to rise to power. There were four or five of them who were direct descendants. He finally managed to stand out from the crowd and take on the position of head of the family.

Xuan Han lived up to his expectations and quickly became one of the most outstanding young members of the Xuan Family.

We absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake at this time...

"Alright, you decide," Luo Xuan nodded, his expression calm and inscrutable. He then added, "If Xi Yan really doesn't want to, then forget it. But if I find out there's any change..."

Luo Xuan's gaze was deep. Xuan De glanced at him and suddenly shuddered, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

"Then, I'll take my leave now."

Xuan De knew he had said enough; it was time to slip away!

He swore he would never come again!!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Instant Kill?!

At the same time

Ling Feng and his group enjoyed a delicious meal at a high-end restaurant in Chongming City.

Qingchen Restaurant's dishes are characterized by their light and fresh flavors, emphasizing the use of high-quality ingredients and exquisite preparation, while also paying attention to the balance of color, aroma, taste, and presentation.
