Chapter 277: Unexpected Development
I have to say that the cooperation between the two is really good, it is completely improvised, without any rehearsal, but the plot is smoothly promoted, and the doubts in the hearts of the three elders are very cleverly resolved, and Xin'er's identity is not exposed.
Xin'er and Siyu just held hands and looked at the three elders, and they had the taste of swearing not to bow their heads.
The situation developed like this, which the three elders were a little unexpected.
The Great Elder looked at Siyu and said earnestly: "Siyu, you must know that this marriage contract cannot be changed at will. ”
"This marriage contract was made between you and Lu Xuefeng since you were a child, there is a contract, and your handprint, you won't remember it, you are so rebellious, it will only make us have conflicts between the two tribes. ”
"That contract was forced to sign by you when I was a child, and I didn't know it at the time, how can this kind of contract be counted! And you saw that I was a tribal outlier before, and I didn't talk about the contract at all, and you made things difficult for me everywhere! But now, when you see me growing up, you threaten you, and you use the contract to talk about things, trying to drive me away and keep your position, it's really shameful for you to do this!"
Seeing that Si Yu actually made his words clear, the Great Elder was somewhat embarrassed, but the Third Elder was still full of spring breeze, and said to Si Yu with a kind look: "Si Yu, if you say that, it will be too chilling for several of our elders. We have always treated you as our own granddaughter, so why do we have to make things difficult? From beginning to end, we have been thinking of ways for your physique, what do the Great Elder and Second Elder go out for every day? Isn't it just to find frost and condensation grass in the wind and snow to turn your water into ice? Although the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder used to target you everywhere on the surface on weekdays, it was a manifestation of seeing that you were not cultivating well and hated that iron could not become steel! Now we are happier than anyone else to see that you have succeeded in your studies, but it really chills us that you still say such things. ”
"Yes, we took advantage of your knowledge to let you sign a marriage contract with the Lu Xue tribe, but this is all for your good, aren't we here to let you have a good home in the future? Seeing that you were bullied when you were a child, our hearts as elders are also very uncomfortable, I believe that your father also feels the same way as us, but you must understand that we are elders and your father is the leader of the tribe. Being tall, there are too many bodies that can't help themselves. We can't stand up to help you openly, we can only help you in secret, you know?"
"This marriage contract is what we have worked so hard to set for your future, in our tribe, you can only be regarded as an alien, even now, there are many clansmen who do not agree with you, this and this, you should know better than me. However, once you marry into the Lu Xue tribe, everything will be different, I heard that the Lu Xue tribe doesn't want our tribe to be so rigid, they will accept water magicians, and the leader of the Lu Xue tribe values your talent very much, and I wish you would marry as soon as possible. And I promise I won't treat you badly!"
"So, Siyu, don't be willful. If you marry in the past, it will do you no harm, but once you tear up the treaty, it will do you a lot of harm and no benefit! At that time, our tribe is very likely to have conflicts with the Lu Xue tribe, and it will be difficult to make friends with them, and you must know that your father is the leader of the tribe. If you tear up the treaty, how much pressure will your father have to bear? The people of the Lu Xue tribe will definitely think that your father is unwilling to marry them, and they hold a grudge against him, and maybe they will take revenge on him. And your father's reputation in the tribe will become very low, and his position may not be secured. ”
"For the stability of the tribe, for the safety of your parents, and for your future, Siyu, don't be willful!"
Again, every time Siyu wanted to refute, the three elders would use the future of the tribe and the safety of their parents to pressure themselves, so that they had nothing to say, and in the end they could only do things hastily.
But this time, the situation is completely different, back then Siyu was fighting alone, and now, there are still many people standing next to Siyu.
"Siyu, follow your heart's choice, and don't affect your judgment because of me. "It was Man Xingxiu who spoke, back then, Man Xingxiu had no choice, but this time, he chose to be a good father and give up everything for the sake of his daughter!
A simple sentence, but it made Siyu's heart warm, the tip of her nose was sore, her eyes were slightly red, she never thought that it was her father who was the first to stand up to support her, you know, on weekdays, her father rarely communicates with herself in front of outsiders, and it is impossible to support her choice, but now, he stood up and blocked him with his broad shoulders, Siyu instantly felt a lot more confident.
Man Xue was somewhat surprised that Man Xingxiu suddenly stood up to speak for Siyu, looked at him, and said coldly. "Lord Chief, it's all this time, do you still want to let Siyu mess around?"
Man Xingxiu looked at Man Xue and said very respectfully: "Third Elder, Siyu is my daughter, when he was a child, he experienced too much suffering, but I never stood by her side and borne it with her, but now it is different, she has grown up and has the person she loves in her heart, I don't want her to be instructed in the future, I want to give her the freedom she deserves." ”
"Do you know how much the price of this freedom is?" Man Xue said coldly, all along, the elders have regarded Man Xingxiu as a puppet to be controlled by them, but now, the puppet has rebelled and has his own consciousness, this feeling of being out of control makes Man Xue extremely unhappy, and he even has the idea of revenge on Man Xingxiu in his heart.
Man Xingxiu was not afraid, and still stood in front of Siyu, "Of course I know, so I ask to be removed from the position of leader and voluntarily exiled, as for the Lu Xue tribe, I will only explain to them and promise that the relationship between our two tribes will not be affected because of this withdrawal." ”
"You!" I didn't expect Man Xingxiu to give such an answer, and Man Xue was a little angry for a while.
"Don't do that, father, I'll take care of my business. Siyu looked at Manxing Cultivator.
Man Xingxiu touched Siyu's head and said dotingly: "Girl, I'm sorry, when I was a child, I took care of you too little, so that you couldn't have a good childhood, but, from now on, I won't let you have any involuntary self, I want you to live your life freely in the days to come!"
"Father's ......"
Man Xingxiu looked at Xin'er and said: "Stinky boy, I promised the matter of the two of you, from now on, you have to take good care of my baby daughter, you are not allowed to bully her, you are not allowed to let him suffer the slightest grievance, do you hear! Once I find out, I will chop you directly!"
Seeing Man Xingxiu say this, Xin'er didn't know what to do for a while, after all, she was now pretending to be Guo Zixu, in order not to expose her identity, she had to answer for Guo Zixu: "Don't worry, uncle! I will definitely take care of Siyu and not let her suffer the slightest grievance!"
Yu Xiangxue stood behind Man Xingxiu and smiled, "Xiao Guozi, are you still called uncle?"
Xin'er immediately understood and said sincerely: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I will definitely protect Siyu!"
