Her relationship with Xiao Jue is quite good.
When everyone was mocking Xiao Jue, she was the one encouraging her.
Every late night, Xiao Jue would sing encouraging songs outside his house.
"♫: Just like the sun, breaking through the night, dawn quietly crossing the horizon, whose figure travels through reincarnation, the road to the future is at your feet, don't be sad, don't be afraid, be full of confidence, and look forward to tomorrow..."
"♫: Facing danger with a smile, your dream will not come true far away. Take courage and move forward firmly, and miracles will definitely happen..."
The inspirational ditty plays in a loop. If it weren't for her, Xiao Jue would be depressed by now.
"Xiang'er, what's wrong? Are you so anxious?" Xiao Jue stepped forward and asked.
"Brother Xiao Jue, it's... the person from Zhongli Lineage is here!"
"Zhongli Qingwan came in person, and brought two elders with him, saying he wanted to visit Uncle Xiao!"
"Zhongli Qingwan?" Xiao Jue's body stiffened suddenly.
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the dim eyes, and then quickly dimmed again.
Even a little more bitter and embarrassing.
His engagement with Zhongli Qingwan is something that everyone in the Eastern Peak Imperial Dynasty knows about.
Now that he was a disabled person, people from Zhongli Lineage suddenly came to visit. He had a vague guess about what happened.
But that speculation made his heart tense and even breathing became a little difficult.
"Got it."
Xiao Jue's voice contained a slight tremor that was barely noticeable.
"Brother Xiao Jue, don't worry, I'm here!" Xiao Xiang'er looked at him and said seriously.
She has a secret.
That secret is a secret.
Anyway, she is Lineage awesome, just Zhongli Lineage, and can be destroyed with a snap of her fingers.
I hope she won't do anything to hurt Brother Xiao Jue.
During this period, Zhongli Qingwan and his group had followed the disciples who led the way to the main hall.
Xiao Lineage, the elder Xiao Zhang, and several Xiao Lineage core clan members were waiting at the door.
Xiao Zhang is wearing a navy blue brocade robe, with a jade belt inlaid with jade around his waist.
He has a majestic face and a tall body, with only a few strands of white hair on his temples.
It exposed the care in his heart.
Seeing Zhongli Qingwan, Xiao Zhang immediately had a warm smile on his face.
He took the initiative to greet her and said in a somewhat friendly tone, "Zhongli's niece is here. I am sorry for being so far away from you. Please forgive me!"
His eyes swept over Zhongli Qingwan and saw that her temperament became more and more outstanding.
My heart is even more joyful.
Zhongli Lineage is now becoming more and more powerful.
If it can be firmly bound to Zhongli Lineage through marriage.
Xiao Lineage's status will definitely reach a higher level.
As for the situation of Xiao Jue, he has his own concerns.
As long as the marriage is agreed, you can always find a way to restore your cultivation in the future.
At present, we still need to be a little selfish, catch the momentum of Zhongli Lineage, and let some young people live in peace!
"Clan Chief Xiao is too polite."
Zhongli Qingwan bowed slightly and saluted.
"?"
Xiao Zhang is a little confused.
Whether it's an engagement or a friendship, it's normal to call him Uncle Xiao.
Why is it Chief Xiao?
Zhongli Qingwan's tone remained calm. "Qingwan came today to discuss important matters with the clan leader."
"Okay, come in quickly! Come in quickly!"
Xiao Zhang doesn't care about the title either.
He enthusiastically led the way sideways, his eyes sweeping over the two elders Kumu and Fengchun, and he nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Jiang Yantian and Blood Sea Fu Ling.
I saw that the two people had extraordinary temperaments, but they didn't know each other, so I had doubts in my heart.
But he didn't ask any more questions.
He didn't pry around at will, so he could only greet him warmly, "Please come in, the two distinguished guests!"
Everyone entered the main hall and the guests of honor took their seats.
The furnishings in the main hall are simple and elegant, with several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.
There are exquisite cups placed on the table, which reveal the heritage of Lineage everywhere.
The maid served fragrant tea, and the scent of tea filled the air.
But it was unable to dispel the tension lurking in the air.
Xiao Zhang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Zhongli Qingwan.
He smiled and said, "Zhongli's niece is here in person today. What's the important thing?"
"If there is anything you need Xiao Lineage's help with, just ask. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."
In his opinion, Zhongli Qingwan came to visit in person, most likely because of her engagement with Xiao Jue.
Maybe they want to discuss the wedding date.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang felt even more excited.
If the wedding date can be set as soon as possible, the relationship between Xiao Lineage and Zhongli Lineage will be completely stable.
Several Xiao Lineage people sitting in the first place under Xiao Zhang also echoed.
In a warm tone. "Yes, Miss Zhongli, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"I, Xiao Lineage, and Zhongli Lineage are family friends, so we should help each other!"
Zhongli Qingwan put down the tea cup and gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips.
He spoke calmly, and his voice clearly spread throughout the main hall.
Breaking the excitement in the hall. "Clan Chief Xiao, elders, Qingwan came here today, indeed, for the engagement with Xiao Jue."
I heard the words "engagement matter".
The smile on Xiao Zhang's face instantly became brighter.
He quickly said, "Oh? My niece is here for this matter?"
"I am just thinking about sending someone to Zhongli Lineage to discuss your wedding date with Jue'er after a while!"
"Don't worry, I will prepare a glorious wedding for you, and let the whole Eastern Peak Imperial Dynasty know about it!"
"Clan Chief Xiao misunderstood."
Zhongli Qingwan shook his head, his tone still calm.
But with unquestionable determination, he said word for word, "Qingwan came today not to discuss the wedding date, but to terminate the engagement with Xiao Lineage."
"?"
"What?" The smile on Xiao Zhang's face froze instantly.
The tea cup in his hand fell heavily on the table with a clang.
The hot tea splashed out and wet the hem of his brocade robe.
He stood up abruptly, and the chair slid back several feet with him, making a harsh friction sound.
Shock appeared on his face for a moment.
Looking directly at Zhongli Qingwan, his tone was filled with incredible excitement. "What did you say? Terminate the engagement?"
As soon as these words came out, both the elders of Xiao Lineage and some of the disciples of Xiao Lineage who were hiding outside and listening to the conversation inside were all in a daze.
The atmosphere in the main hall instantly solidified.
The originally enthusiastic Xiao Lineage people also changed their expressions.
The eyes looking at Zhongli Qingwan were filled with astonishment.
One of the gray-haired Xiao Lineage elders stood up suddenly. "Miss Zhongli, the marriage contract was personally made by the elders of the two parties. How can it be terminated just like it is?"
"Are you Zhongli Lineage deceiving me Xiao Lineage because I have no one?"
"Yes, this is simply a shame!"
Another Xiao Lineage man also stood up and glared at Zhongli Qingwan.
"How could I, Xiao Lineage, be sorry for you Zhongli Lineage? You want to humiliate us like this!"
For a time, the main hall was filled with the angry voices of Xiao Lineage people, and the atmosphere was tense.
Jiang Yantian and Blood Sea Fu Ling were sitting in the same position, with their legs crossed.
His expression was still lazy.
It was as if he didn't hear the angry comments around him.
He observed the movement in the hall with great interest, his eyes full of expectation.
Xiao Zhang serves as the patriarch.
Take a deep breath and suppress the anger in your heart.
Staring at Zhongli Qingwan with cold eyes. "Niece Zhongli, do you know what you are talking about?"
