Chapter 959: A Surprise Invitation
"Impossible, how could I lose to Zhan Chen? Li Shaobai was completely stunned and muttered in his mouth.
"Li Shaobai, I said before, I will definitely be able to defeat you, if it wasn't for the elders just now, you have already died here, you have heard me clearly, don't fight Xu Liyan's idea again, otherwise I will kill you next time!" Zhan Chen said solemnly.
Li Shaobai seemed to have regained his senses, stared at Zhan Chen and said: "Zhan Chen, don't be arrogant, I won't stop there, Yanyan will always be mine, the marriage between the Li family and the Xu family is also the trend of the times, you alone can't change anything, you can't kill me today, you can't kill me in the future, but you, just wait for the catastrophe!" Speaking of this, he laughed madly, I don't know if it was really a short circuit in his head? Or to give himself courage? Or to dilute the sense of humiliation after his failure?
Zhan Chen felt a sense of grimness, Li Shaobai was right, although his strength had increased a lot, he was still too fragile in front of the top ten families, but this time he would not retreat again, even if he had to be crushed by this.
Li Shaobai left the arena laughing wildly all the way, and never appeared in front of Zhan Chen again. After defeating Li Shaobai, Zhan Chen continued to march all the way, overcoming strong enemies, and finally won the championship of the Inner Sect disciple ranking battle as he wished.
After the game, the award ceremony was held, and Ye Xin, the great elder in charge of the Inner Sect, personally presented the award to him.
After everything was over, Zhan Chen returned home, but then he couldn't be idle, the letters delivered by the elders of the sect flew like snowflakes, but Zhan Chen's goal had already been determined, that is, to worship under the door of a Xu family elder, so that he would have the opportunity to meet Xu Liyan.
Spreading out the letters one by one, Zhan Chen's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "There you have it, one, two, three...... Nine elders of the Xu family sent me invitation letters and invited me to meet with them. Who should I choose?"
Zhan Chen read the contents of the letter one by one, but in the end it was difficult to determine, because he didn't know the details of these elders, and choosing a teacher was a very crucial matter.
"Well, since I don't have a choice, I'd better rely on my eyes to be sure. Zhan Chen decided to meet with these nine elders in turn, and then decide who to choose as his teacher.
During this period of time when Zhan Chen was running around to visit the elders, Xu Liyan also returned to her family, and as soon as she returned to the family, she was immediately invited by her father.
Coming to the meeting hall, Xu Liyan felt that the atmosphere here today was particularly solemn, her father, mother and the elders of the clan were all there, and Li Shaobai was also there, followed by an elder of the Bai family-Bai Bin.
Seeing that his daughter had arrived, Xu Jing said: "Yanyan, you are here, Li Shaobai has officially proposed to our family today, and your marriage has been agreed to by me and your mother." β
Xu Liyan's face sank, what she was most worried about was still coming, but this time she had a voice, and said calmly: "Daddy, forgive me for being difficult to obey." Because I didn't have a good agreement with Li Shaobai before, as long as he could get the first place in the Inner Sect disciple ranking battle, I would follow him, but what was the result? He didn't even enter the top three, so what reason did I have to marry him?"
"Hmph, your agreement at that time was just child's play, in short, your marriage should be decided by me!" Xu Jing was very stubborn.
At this time, Li Shaobai also smiled and said: "Yanyan, for the sake of my sincerity, you can agree to my courtship to you." β
"Never!" Xu Liyan insisted: "You will not be happy with people you don't love." β
Xu Jing got angry and shouted: "Why can't you be happy? The Li family has a big business, you want everything, I can't think of anything more happy than this." β
"But there is no freedom, and there is no emotion. β
Li Shaobai said: "Yanyan, as long as you marry me, I will never restrain you, you can go wherever you want, as for feelings, can't we cultivate them slowly?"
Xu Jing nodded and said: "Well, yes, your mother and I were even seen before marriage, but after we got married, aren't we still like glue?
Xu Liyan muttered: "It's because I know the root that I can see through his nature." β
"Yanyan, do you still have any complaints?" Xu Jing's momentum came up, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely solemn, and the majesty of the powerhouse of ten thousand laws could not be ignored!
"In short, no, no, Li Shaobai didn't fulfill my agreement with him, he just can't marry him!" Xu Liyan said stubbornly.
"Hmph, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know the lesson. Xu Jing shouted.
"Dad, if you force me again, I will kill myself, in short, I will not marry Li Shaobai!"
"You-"
Just when the father and daughter were at a stalemate, Xu Liyan's mother Huang Chunlin pulled the corner of Xu Jing's clothes, gave him a look, and then smiled at her daughter: "Yanyan, don't be excited, there is something to discuss, after all, everyone here is a family." β
"Mother, I'm tired, go back and rest first. After Xu Liyan finished speaking, she hurriedly left the meeting hall and went to her own room.
Looking at her departing back, Xu Jing slapped the table and said, "This daughter is really becoming more and more disobedient!"
At this time, Li Shaobai came forward and said, "Uncle Xu, the reason why Yanyan refused to marry me is probably because she has someone in her heart." β
"Who is it!" Xu Jing roared.
"It's a disciple of the Inner Sect called Zhan Chen. β
"Zhan Chen? I seem to have heard this name. β
"yes, just a thousand years agoβ"
"Wait, Shaobai, don't say it, I think about it, how can Zhan Chen be worthy of my daughter? He's just a wild boy from the backwoods, and I've already read all his information. β
"Yes, Uncle Xu, when Zhan Chen learned of Yanyan's noble identity, he had the heart of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and curryed favor with Yanyan in every way, intending to become the Xu family's son-in-lawββ"
"Hmph, he doesn't want to think about it!"
"Yanyan must have been deceived by him!"
"Where is Zhan Chen?"
"He's still in the inner sect. β
"Okay, I want to see what kind of person he is, Xu Zhong!" Xu Jing turned his head and called out to Xu Zhong beside him.
Xu Zhong stepped forward and asked respectfully, "What does the family master command?"
"You go and fetch me this battle morning at once. β
"It'sβyes!" replied Xu Zhong helplessly.
"Okay, let's go back quickly!"
Xu Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still walked out, but after he left the room, he did not go directly to Zhan Chen, but came to Xu Liyan's room and knocked lightly on the door.
Whether the door was opened or not, it was probably because Xu Liyan thought that it was someone sent by her father who came to find her.
Xu Zhong had no choice but to whisper: "Miss, it's me!"
The door was immediately opened, and Xu Liyan appeared at the door and said in surprise: "Uncle Xu!"
"Shall I go in for a while?"
"Alright, come in!"
After Xu Zhong entered the door, he quickly closed the door and said, "Miss, something happened, the master asked me to bring Zhan Chen to see him immediately." β
"Ah!" Xu Liyan sat on the bed as if she had been struck by lightning, her heart was in turmoil.
"Miss, if the old man guesses well, if this kid Zhan Chen arrives at the Xu family, I'm afraid he will be more than lucky. β
"What about Uncle Xu?"
"It can't be helped, you know, your dad has always been stubborn. β
"I hurt Ah Chen!" Xu Liyan said bitterly.
"Miss, you are an old man who has been watching grow up, your mind is understood by the old man, who doesn't have a youthful time, don't worry, I will tell Zhan Chen to escape from the Humane Sect, and you can run as far as you can. β
"But Uncle Xu, my father is a powerhouse in the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, and he will find someone if he wants to chase someone to heaven and earth. β
"It doesn't matter, I can delay the time, wait for Zhan Chen to flee away, even Xu Jing is helpless. β
"That's the only way, then- Uncle Xu will ask you!"
"Don't worry!" After Xu Jing finished speaking, he hurriedly left the room and ran to the Nether to look for Zhan Chen, who knows, he came to Zhan Chen's residence but pounced, it turned out that Zhan Chen was not at home at all. So where is he now?
Zhan Chen was following a mysterious powerhouse wearing a black cloak to leave the beginning of the island and fly towards the topmost hanging island. At this time, his heart was also full of suspicions, and he didn't know which big man he wanted to see him.
