Chapter Seventy-Two: Dead Heart
Except for Qin Zhao, who originally knew about this, several juniors of the Zhou family all had stunned expressions, and the elders of the Zhou family had not revealed anything about this matter before.
But after the shock, everyone's expressions were different, Zhou Jingjing and Zhou Wu both had a gloating expression, the two of them were not used to Qin Zhao and Zhou Qingyan, and now these two "wastes" are just right together.
Even Zhou Xiyue, who had never cared much about things other than cultivation, had a slight change in the expression on her face.
When it comes to marrying Qin Zhao, she is naturally unwilling, although she doesn't say that she looks down on Qin Zhao, but she will definitely not want to have Qin Zhao such a useless father-in-law, she originally thought that if the family has to force herself to fulfill this marriage contract, then she will secretly go to the outside world to experience a few years, why should she be responsible for the marriage contract set by the elders?
Anyway, she is already a seventh-order martial artist of the spirit vein, even if she wanders alone in the outside world, she has the power to protect herself, and she will come back after a few years of cultivation to a higher level, and maybe she can meet someone she likes in the process of training? She still has some yearning for the world outside Hongling County.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that her father and grandfather would actually deal with this matter like this and let her sister marry Qin Zhao instead of her.
Although she has no feelings for this sister, Zhou Xiyue's heart is still a little reluctant to let her jump into the "fire pit" instead of herself, but she ...... Even if he speaks now, what can he change? Is it useless not to say, it may still make his father and grandfather misunderstand his meaning, and make them mistakenly think that he is not reluctant to marry Qin Zhao......
A look of struggle flashed in Zhou Xiyue's eyes, her right foot moved but it was useless to take that step, and finally sighed lightly, her face calmed down again, and she returned to her previous indifferent appearance, as if the things that everyone was discussing at this time had nothing to do with her.
Of course, the biggest reaction was Zhou Qingyan.
"Why, have you asked me?!" Zhou Qingyan was a little emotional, took a step forward and asked Zhou Ming and Zhou Shan.
Of course, she didn't dislike Qin Zhao, if it was also if she felt that she was not worthy of Qin Zhao, after all, this was the first day of Yunyang City's alchemist.
It doesn't matter who she marries when she gets angry, it's just that this is obviously her sister's matter, but it fell on her head just because she didn't want to, and in their cognition, Qin Zhao is still a waste now.
This feeling of being completely uncared for made her feel bad.
Disfigured for two years, she has long been ignored by the cynicism of ordinary people, but now the two people in front of her are her biological father and her most respected grandfather.
There is a word called "hate because of love", it is precisely because these two people are the people Zhou Qingyan cares about, so they care about their opinion of themselves, but their current decision undoubtedly makes Zhou Qingyan extremely cold, like falling into an ice cellar.
"Why do you say?" Zhou Jingjing asked rhetorically, her face full of pride, as if she had reversed the previous game: "Sister Xiyue is only seventeen years old and has already crossed the bottleneck of the seventh order of the spiritual vein, wouldn't it delay her future by letting her marry Qin Zhao, do you say it is possible? You are different, the two of you can be said to be a work of heaven......" Zhou Jingjing sneered, she bit the word "work of heaven" very hard, and the irony in it could be heard by anyone.
But Zhou Qingyan ignored her, and looked at Zhou Ming fixedly, her father, she just wanted to hear how this person would answer.
Zhou Ming's gaze was a little evasive, and he didn't look directly into Zhou Qingyan's eyes, after all, this is also his biological daughter, and Zhou Qingyan was indeed a little wronged by such a favoritism, but since the matter has been decided, it will not be changed again, and this is already the best solution if the old man is unwilling to break the contract, so although Zhou Ming opened his mouth, although he was a little hesitant, his tone was non-negotiable: "Your sister's talent is indeed much better than yours...... With your martial arts talent, it is almost impossible to achieve anything in this life, so marrying Qin Zhao and teaching your husband and children to spend your life in peace is also a good choice for you......"
Zhou Shan also persuaded: "Qingyan, I know this is a little unfair, but this world is originally respected by strength, and with Xiyue's talent, it will definitely become the pillar of my Zhou family in twenty years, so ......"
"Heh~ So it doesn't matter if I don't have any use for the family, right?" Zhou Qingyan sneered, and there was a cold look in her eyes: "Strength is respected, I understand ......"
Before she met Qin Zhao in the academy, she finished classes almost every day during the day, and dragged her tired body to the back mountain to cultivate at night, she could have such great perseverance, on the one hand, she wanted revenge, and on the other hand, she also wanted to prove to her family, her grandfather, father, and other people she cared about that she was not useless.
When she came back from the academy, she came to Zhou Shan and Zhou Ming as soon as possible, although there were etiquette reasons for this, but more importantly, she wanted the two of them to know that she was already a third-order powerhouse of the spirit bone, and a top genius who had obtained the golden graduation badge from Tiens Academy!
But I didn't expect such a thing to happen before I could tell this "surprise".
She didn't care about marrying Qin Zhao, and even thought that she would take revenge in the future, if Qin Zhao didn't dislike it, it would be good to follow Qin Zhao and serve him for a lifetime to repay his kindness, but Zhou Shan and Zhou Ming's attitude towards her made her completely dead to the so-called "family affection", how can there be any family affection under the word strength respect.
So now she wasn't going to tell these people about her third-order strength of the spirit bone, it didn't make much sense, and besides, Zhou Qingyan was going to surprise them in three days......
Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind......
Different from Zhou Qingyan's strong reaction, Qin Zhao's face was calm, and his tone was slightly sarcastic: "Patriarch Zhou is really a trustworthy person, even if my grandfather has passed away, he will not forget the promise of the year......"
Zhou Shan's face remained unchanged, and his tone was a little stiff: "Qingyan is worthy of you, it's enough." ”
"Of course it's enough to match my waste," Qin Zhao chuckled: "But since this marriage contract makes you so embarrassed, and my grandfather has passed away for several years, it is better to stop this marriage, if you go down to see my grandfather one day, it is good to say that I took the initiative to refuse, and it is not considered that you have broken your promise......"
"Presumptuous!" Zhou Lie slapped the table and glared at Qin Zhao: "What kind of bastard are you talking about!"
Zhou Shan waved his hand but didn't care: "My Zhou family has raised you for two years, and it can be regarded as worthy of your grandfather, if you really don't want to marry, it's not ......"
"Since grandpa is unwilling to break his promise, then it's decided!" Zhou Qingyan interrupted Zhou Shan's words: "It's just that after marrying Qin Zhao, I will be a member of the Qin family, I hope you don't regret it." ”
Qin Zhao glanced at Zhou Qingyan and knew that she might be angry, this decision was probably a bit angry, but he didn't refuse after thinking about it, he wouldn't suffer anyway, and if he insisted on refusing to get married now, how embarrassed Zhou Qingyan would be.
"Who do you think you are, our Zhou family can't do without you? I regret it, laugh to death!" Zhou Jingjing mocked: "It's best that after you get married, you two Qin family members will move out of our Zhou family directly, and you won't be worried about watching us." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Ming said to Qin Zhao: "Anyway, you also live in our Zhou family, and you will come over, so that both of you can be counted as members of my Zhou family." ”
"Join the family?" Qin Zhao sneered: "I am the only man left in the Qin family, you let me join your Zhou family? Let the Qin family be the last to end, rest assured, after I get married, I will move out with Qingyan." ”
Zhou Shan looked at the few people who were about to quarrel again, and his heart was a little tired: "You don't have to go in, and you don't have to move out, my Zhou family still has this place, this matter is decided, three days later, it happens to be the clan meeting of our Zhou family, and your wedding will be on the day of the clan meeting." ”
"Hmph!" Zhou Qingyan snorted coldly and walked out directly, these people didn't even want to pick a better day.
