Chapter 35 Recruiting Relatives in Competition
It was night, and Jingwen Town was already snoring loudly, and the lights were extinguished.
In Lai's study, an oil lamp illuminated the study, a woman with short hair and a shawl pouted, as if she was a little angry, and a man with tired and unbearable eyes put his hands on the woman's shoulders.
"Yuehong, Dad knows, you have been advocating freedom of marriage since you were a child, you are the pearl of Daddy's palm, and Dad can't bear it!"
"Dad, you know that Cheng Qian's strength is extraordinary, and what kind of martial arts competition is set to recruit relatives, in the end, isn't it him Cheng Qian who won?"
This short-haired woman is Lai Yuehong, and the man is naturally Lai Xijiang.
"Yuehong, since you know that Cheng Qian's strength is extraordinary, why are you unwilling to marry him? Besides, he is also a direct member of the Cheng family, and his right to speak in the Cheng family in the future is only high, not low, why are you bothering?"
"Dad, my daughter knows that he is superior in martial arts, and she also knows his identity and status, but if you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Yes, I, Lai Yuehong, admit that he is stronger than me, but if he is stronger than me, do I have to marry him? Dad, don't think that I don't know what calculations you are making! The power of the Cheng family is getting bigger and bigger, you just want to hug the thigh of the Cheng family, you are selling your daughter, do you know?"
"Also, don't forget, I still have a marriage contract with the Mo family. I remember that Mu Bo said that the genius of the Mo family just fell off the cliff and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, not really dead. If he is still alive and comes back to you, how will you deal with yourself? Do you want to be a hypocrite who goes back on his word?" Lai Yuehong pointed at Lai Xijiang and said loudly.
"Bastard!" Lai Xijiang was suddenly furious, and slapped Lai Yuehong in the face, but seeing his daughter's tough and even somewhat hateful gaze, his heart as a father softened again, and he sighed and said.
"Yuehong, do you know that the Lai family has been running for hundreds of years, do you think there are still few people who have offended? Now that the Cheng family is powerful, will Cheng Huahui have no scruples about us, the former No. 1 martial clan? If our Lai family wants to survive, we must make sacrifices. ”
"That Mo Tiange has long been out of news, and it is estimated that he has become a pile of dry bones under the cliff. Besides, what if he was still alive? He was only a quasi-king, not a real martial king. In front of Cheng Huahui, he is not even as good as an ant! The so-called marriage contract is a joke! Do you want to marry a dead man and let the whole world see the jokes of our Lai family?"
"Yuehong, my father never thought of sacrificing your happiness in exchange for the stability of the Lai family, but this Cheng Qian fell in love with you at first sight and loved you in every way, and what is even more rare is that he only loves you alone. Have you ever thought about it, Cheng Qian is a young and strong man who is ranked first in Yingyuan City, which man like him is not three wives and four concubines? If he is the kind of unkind person, even if you agree, your father will definitely not agree! But now you have seen it, he can even bend down and promise his father to go to a martial arts competition to recruit relatives for you. Feelings can be cultivated, believe in Dad, Dad will never harm you!"
Lai Xijiang spoke bitterly, and his words were affectionate and sexual, which shows that he really did not have half a lie, but all from the bottom of his heart. But if there is no selfishness, it is impossible.
Lai Yuehong looked at her father in front of her in a daze, and after a long time, she lowered her head and said, "Dad, if tomorrow, Cheng Qian can achieve the final victory, I will marry him." If someone is lucky enough to win, then the daughter, no matter what the person's appearance and conduct are, the daughter's life is to marry a chicken and a dog! This is the daughter's final bottom line! Let Heaven decide. You go and tell Cheng Qian, if he can't accept it, then ask my father to tell him that even if I, Lai Yuehong, am lonely and old in this life, I will never get married!"
When Lai Xijiang heard this, he immediately smiled, under this Yingyuan City, how many people could be stronger than Cheng Gan? Even if there were, would he dare to risk offending the Cheng family and defeat Cheng Qian in front of everyone?
If this is the case, I am afraid that if he wins tomorrow, he will be in the wilderness the day after tomorrow. In his opinion, Lai Yuehong's words were just a step for herself and everyone to go down. As for Cheng Qian, I'm afraid it's too late for him to be happy, let alone say anything to refuse.
"In that case, you have a good rest, and tomorrow you will go with your father to see a martial arts competition. ”
After Lai Xijiang finished speaking, Lai Yuehong left the study, and after a while, the lights in the study were also extinguished.
......
Next.
The Lai family's affair of recruiting relatives continued to ferment as early as half a month ago, and almost everyone knew about it under Yingyuan City. Early in the morning, not only the warriors of Jingwen Town, but also the warriors who came from all over the world to see the excitement or intended to participate in the competition to recruit relatives.
The ring is based on the Jiulian Pavilion auction table, so although there are many spectators, it is not too crowded. After breakfast, Zige took the little fox and walked into the Jiulian Pavilion again with the pace of the flow of people.
When he walked into the Jiulian Pavilion, Zige subconsciously looked up at the fourth floor, the room that once belonged to their Mo family, eleven years ago, he was on it, looking down on all living beings. Now, down there, he's one of the multitudes. Creation makes people, but that's it.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lai Xijiang appeared in the ring with Lai Yuehong, and on the right side of Lai Xijiang, there was another girl standing. This is the second time Zige has seen Lai Yuehong, and eleven years later, the three-year-old girl has grown into a fourteen-year-old girl. With short hair in a shawl, she looks capable and at the same time does not lose the temperament of a girl, and her eyes are still the pride of her three-year-old, as if she disdains anyone, but she is a little more stubborn than then, which makes people feel a sense of distance.
But another girl obviously made Zige more interested, with long hair and waist-length eyebrows, eyebrows like water, it seemed that she was not used to the occasion of too many people, with obvious cowardice in her eyes, unlike Lai Yuehong's practice clothes, she was wearing an elegant long skirt, but she looked even more pitiful, which made people feel a sense of pity and a strong desire to protect.
"This should be the little girl who hid behind Lai Yuehong at the beginning, Lai Mengtian. Zige stared at Lai Mengtian with interest and said softly.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Lai Xijiang spoke, and the Jiulian Pavilion gradually quieted down, "Thank you for being able to participate in the little girl's martial arts competition." Too much nonsense, I won't say much about it below. The one who stood in this ring to the end was the husband of the little girl Yuehong, who chose to get married. There is only one rule for this martial arts competition, that is, young talents over the age of 20 do not need to go to this ring. As for the rules, as long as you can stand up, then you can keep fighting! That is, as long as you feel invincible, as long as you admit defeat, the other side cannot be killed. Otherwise, my Lai family will definitely uphold justice for you!" What do you think?"
After a moment of whispering.
"We have no objections. Someone shouted, and the same words began to be heard.
"In this case, I announce that this competition has officially begun. The next ring will be handed over to you. The little girl and I will watch the battle on the fourth floor, and if you want to capture the little girl's heart, you have to behave well. After Lai Xijiang finished speaking, he took the two girls to the fourth floor.
"Old fox, you actually stumbled me at this time!" said a handsome young man in the crowd.
A servant who followed him lowered his eyebrows and said, "Young Master, do you want me to knock on this Lai Xijiang?"
The young man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no one is my opponent anyway." Besides, after all, he is also my future father-in-law, and I don't want Yuehong to be unhappy. In the future, you are not allowed to mention this kind of thing, understand?"
The slave nodded submissively - the identity of this young man was already about to be revealed, he was Cheng Qian, the Cheng family with superior martial arts strength in Lai Yuehong's mouth.
"Young Master, now let's?"
"There's no hurry, there's a lot of time. Let those jumping clowns go up to perform first, you have to remember that not everyone is worthy of my shot. All I have to do is defeat that last man. ”
"Yes, young master Gao Jian. ”
In the crowd, Zige was also not in a hurry, but looked leisurely, holding a handful of snacks similar to melon seeds in his hand, two fingers with a little force, then peeled off, one threw in his mouth, the other fed the little fox, and said to himself: "Little fox, you say, is my fiancée beautiful? However, I still think my sister is better-looking." What's more, if the marriage contract is not dissolved, the martial arts competition will recruit relatives, does this little lady look down on my Mo family too much?"
"Little fox, you say, after I win later, I will break off the marriage contract with her in front of everyone, what kind of expression will she have? Will this hurt a girl's heart too much? However, since it is your Lai family's fault first, then you have to bear the wrath of my Mo family!"
In the end, Zige showed an indignant look, and there was a faint trace of hatred at work.
Zige actually knew in his heart that maybe the Lai family made such a decision because they thought that everyone in the Mo family was dead, maybe the Lai family was not too much at fault.
However, in Zige's eyes, even if the Mo family really perishes, the Lai family should announce the dissolution of the marriage contract to the world, so that there is a beginning and an end. But the Lai family has never said anything, nor has it ever shown any attitude, in Zige's eyes, this is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!
At the beginning, because of their talent, the Lai family said that they would get married, and even under Yingyuan City, this news was regarded as an open secret by everyone. And now, the Lai family is silent as if it has never happened, for the Mo family, this is a great insult! For him, it is an even greater insult!
Besides, in a place that Zige didn't know, Lai Xijiang had long forgotten about this so-called marriage contract as a waste paper joke.
In that case, why should I give you face? Break the marriage contract in public, and dissolve the marriage contract in public, as for whose face will be lost in the end? What does it matter to me!
The big husband has something to do and something not to do. What should not be done about a man's dignity?
But now, whether it is Zige or Cheng Qian, they all choose to sit down and be an audience, and the two of them invariably make the same plan.
The show is about to begin.
