In the study, Wu Fusheng looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and his heart was mixed, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Knowing that there would be a young and excellent man like him in this ring match, he shouldn't have promised the Jin family early and promised his baby daughter to a side branch disciple. But now that the covenant has been made, no matter what, he can't offend the Jin family because of an outsider, so he would rather offend the son of Bei Qiling in front of him.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face deepened a little, his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the smooth black lacquered nanmu tabletop, and slowly asked, "Dare to ask Pei Gongzi this year?" Where do you live? Who else is in the family? ”

Although Xie Qingning didn't understand what the contradictions and entanglements in his eyes were, he thought that it was because his dark horse suddenly rushed out and disrupted the plan of the marriage between the two clans, which forced Wu Fusheng to condescend and approach her in person.

However, Xie Qingning just stood quietly in front of the desk, bowing his hand neither humbly nor arrogantly before replying, "In the seventeenth of this year, I live in Puyuan City, Xizhou, and there is a younger sister in addition to an old mother. ”

Xizhou? The poorest place on the five continents? And there are poor mountains and bad waters, and there are wild beasts? Not only that, but he is still old and young, is he still waiting for our Wu family to support him?

The smile on Wu Fusheng's face stiffened uncontrollably, and he nodded after a while, "Yes, yes, it's really surprising that you have such cultivation at such a young age, but the old man wants to know what kind of plans you have for the future?" ”

Intend? Xie Qingning couldn't help sneering in his heart, it seemed that the other party had made up his mind to let her withdraw from this game and make room for the future son-in-law of the Jin family. Although her original intention was not to make Wu's face crackle, she didn't like to be forced by others, and naturally she was also disgusted by Wu Fusheng's non-yin and non-yang tone.

So, she smiled and said, "Senior, obviously, since I am standing in the ring of the Wu family, I naturally plan to cling to the Wu family, use the power of the Wu family to achieve my cultivation goals, and fly to the immortal realm as soon as possible." ”

Wu Fusheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the other party to say it so bluntly, and there was no shyness, he looked up at the face with a calm expression, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed for a while and said, "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, our Wu family is really forced to hold a son-in-law ceremony this time, although our original intention is to give the world's casual cultivation a chance to take refuge and dependence, but the little girl already has a favorite person in her heart, in order to fulfill the little girl's infatuation, we are afraid ...... Of course, we will certainly compensate you materially, or if you ask for it, we will try to accommodate it, as long as you are willing to withdraw from the competition. ”

"What?" Although he had been prepared in his heart, but when he really heard the other party say it, Xie Qingning still sneered in disbelief, thinking, "If I hadn't met Miss San in advance, I'm afraid I would have thought that what you said was true." She thought for a moment before asking, "Senior, did I hear it wrong?" If the third lady of your mansion already has a crush, why do you bother to open this ring competition, just name it the Jianghu Fengyun Competition or the Nanzhou Master Selection Competition? ”

Wu Fusheng frowned when he heard this, and only reprimanded for a long time, "Nonsense, since Your Excellency said so, but you have made up your mind and refused to quit the ring?" ”

"I need a convincing reason, or ......," Xie Qingning felt that the breath in the room was suddenly suffocated, knowing that the other party was trying to use the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage to put pressure on herself, and she soon felt tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, sweating profusely, as if she had been thrown into a huge furnace, and couldn't help but raise her voice angrily, "Or let the third lady meet in Xia and ask her mind in person, if she insists on not doing it, there is nothing to say in Xia." ”

Seeing that this kid was able to say this sentence under his own pressure, Wu Fusheng was a little surprised, but he was only surprised by the other party's ability to bear it, and he didn't feel that she had a chance to resist. But his original intention was just to force this kid to retreat, since he agreed to let the third lady of the Wu family refuse him in person and make him die, it can be seen that he is also a lover, and after secretly approving in his heart, he put away the coercion and said with a smile, "Although your request is a bit excessive, our Wu family is the most reasonable, and will naturally meet your request." ”

After speaking, he summoned the chief housekeeper in the mansion and ordered him to invite the third lady over, and then pretended to be concerned about some cultivation matters, Xie Qingning dealt with it a little absent-mindedly, but he was thinking in his heart: In case Wu Miaozhen overthrew Wu Fusheng's lies, and the other party was angry and wanted to kill him, what percentage of the chances would she have escaped with Feng Ningyu's strength?

Just when she was thinking wildly, the big housekeeper Wu really brought a young lady with a white veil into the house, but Xie Qingning knew at a glance that the other party had used such a shameless trick as a bag transfer, which was really admirable.

But she couldn't debunk the other party's conspiracy, because she had no way to prove that she had ever seen Miss Wu San, otherwise how would she explain this?

"Father, I wonder why you called your daughter over?" The woman's delicate voice interrupted Xie Qingning's thoughts, she frowned and looked at each other, she had already made up her mind to fulfill the poor dependents of Xue Hongchen and Wu Miaozhen, who called Wu Fusheng so despicable and shameless, it really disgusted her.

Therefore, after listening to the shy and timid words of "Miss Wu San", Xie Qingning pretended to nod and agree, and accepted a bunch of cultivation resources compensated by the Wu Mansion, and then was personally sent out of the mansion by the Grand Steward Wu, and the level of respect made the passers-by around her all cast doubts, envy, and jealous glances at her.

After returning to the rented "Juhuan Building", Xie Qingning's face was very unkind, so that Xie Huazhao and the others did not dare to take the initiative to provoke her, so they all sat silently in her room, waiting for her to calm down before asking what happened.

After a long time, Xie Qingning raised his head and said to Xie Huazhao, "Third brother, you guys will pack up your things and leave Dangyang tonight, because I have promised the Wu clan to withdraw from the ring competition, but if I break my promise, they will not give up after all, so you go first, and I will come to meet you after the matter is over." ”

Hearing this, Xie Huazhao said angrily, "What are you talking about? I have already said that we must advance and retreat together, and you must not try to drive us away! ”

"Third brother, listen to me, I have to intervene in this matter, because the Ye clan ......," Xie Qingning's words did not fall but ended halfway, his eyes looked out of the half-open window, and he saw a few figures occasionally walking around in the sunlight of the courtyard, and these people were all looking over here, it seemed that they were people sent by the Wu family to monitor them, and they were quite depressed in their hearts.
