Chapter 48: The Marriage Contract
I have to admit that Mo Ziqi's guess was right, Xiu Tianze was obviously forcing them to fight with the heroes in this battle banquet. But even if he knew that this was the other party's strategy, Fang Yuan must accept it, because he can bear to insult himself, insult Xiaoman, no!
Xiu Tianze's eyebrows and eyes were lightly closed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
"It's up to you, can you represent the Immortal Sword Sect, or can you represent her Xiaoman?"
Fang Yuan glanced at Xiu Tianze with a little disdain indifferently, and said, "No matter who it represents, can it be defeated by you?"
Xiu Tianze smiled contemptuously and said, "Okay! Remember what you said today! Everyone present will remember me, remember what this hairy boy said! I'm waiting for you at the Taidou Banquet, I want to see what you can do to defeat me!"
"Ahem...... Xiu Wan coughed a few times, "Young man, are you sure you want to represent the Sword Immortal Sect to participate in the Taidou Banquet? ”
Although he could see Xiao Man hinting at his refusal with his peripheral vision, Fang Yuan still nodded firmly and said, "I'm sure." ”
Xiu Wannian nodded approvingly and said, "Young man, you know that you can't do it, you have a character! I look forward to your performance at the Taidou Banquet." ”
This was a small episode, after which the feast officially began.
Xiao Man, who was still feeling a little hungry, couldn't eat anything when he was angry with Fang Yuan.
What kind of occasion is the Taidou Banquet? The major families and the young juniors of the scattered cultivators are all pointing to making a name for themselves at the Taidou Banquet! Those who can come to the banquet are either the best of the best or the geniuses of the party, and with Fang Yuan's current strength, he simply does not have the strength to fight.
Fang Yuan did everything he could to make Xiao Man happy, he explained to Xiao Man that he was a newcomer after all, he belonged to the kind of business that won and became famous, and there was no shame in losing, why not do it? But Xiao Man said that things were not as simple as he thought, no matter how Fang Yuan coaxed, she was always sullen.
In the middle of the banquet, in order to give young people more opportunities to communicate, under the leadership of Xiu Wannian, the characters of the older generation left the scene one by one.
At this time, Xiu Tianze came to Xiaoman's front with two glasses of wine, and slapped a glass of wine on Xiaoman's table with a "snap".
"Come, have a drink with me!"
Xiao Man hadn't spoken yet, but Fang Yuan pressed the wine glass, looked at Xiu Tianze coldly and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Xiu." My master doesn't know how to drink, so I'll drink this cup for her. ”
Fang Yuan grabbed the wine glass, lifted it on his back, and a glass of wine went down. He suddenly felt as if a fire was burning from his throat to his chest, and everywhere he passed was a hot patch.
This was the first time Fang Yuan had come into contact with liquor in his life, in fact, he wanted to vomit when he smelled that smell just now, but he still didn't hesitate to put it into his mouth in one breath.
Xiu Tianze looked at Fang Yuan, smiled coldly, and then raised the wine glass in his hand above Fang Yuan's head. A whole glass of wine was slowly poured on Fang Yuan's head by him.
"Xiu Tianze, what are you doing!" Xiao Manchu suddenly slapped the case and shouted coquettishly.
Fang Yuan stopped her, and with one arm, he held Xiao Man behind him tightly, looking at Xiu Tianze and smiling fearlessly.
"Hahahaha......" Xiu Tianze pointed at Fang Yuan and laughed loudly, laughing and laughing, he suddenly slapped Fang Yuan hard, poked Fang Yuan's head with his finger and scolded, "What the are you? Drink for her and me?
The loud slap suddenly plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yuan and Xiu Tianze.
With a "poof", a cold light flashed in the main hall, and the frost that flowed like moonlight appeared in front of Xiu Tianze's neck. Her expression was cold and a little scary, and her big eyes, which were originally bright and cute, were slightly red at the moment, but she only spit out two words lightly: "Apologize." ”
Instead of being afraid, Xiu Tianze took a small step forward to the side, so that Shuang Wu's blade almost touched his neck, and looked at Xiao Man with a grin.
"My dad and your master Cassia have been friends for more than ten years, and when we were young, they made a vow that if I could beat the representative of your Sword Immortal Sect in the official competition, your master would let you marry me. I guess you remember, right? I don't believe you dare to use frost to sting me, you have the ability, try it!"
Xiu Tianze's words made Fang Yuan's heart suddenly feel as if he had fallen into the abyss, and he hurriedly looked at Xiao Man. However, Xiao Man's expression told him that what Xiu Tianze said turned out to be true.
Mo Ziqi guessed correctly again, they were aggressive, and they really had another hidden secret, so they were waiting here! No wonder no matter how Fang Yuan coaxed Xiaoman just now, they all looked sullen!
Fang Yuan also seemed to understand at this time, no wonder he had to embarrass himself like that when he met for the first time at the door, now he even suspected that the cultivator family had prepared this Taidou banquet for Xiao Man!
Xiao Man was obviously a little flustered, and said, "You...... You're talking nonsense! Those are just idle jokes of the teachers and commanders, and they can't be counted!"
Xiu Tianze's expression smiled a little pervertedly, and said, "I can't count, but my dad has the deed in his hand that your master personally pressed the handprint, can't the deed be counted?" Xiu Tianze touched his chin and looked at Xiao Man with a low expression, "In this way, we can be regarded as people with a marriage contract! If you really stab you with a sword, can it be regarded as murdering your husband......?"
"You!"
Xiao Man was angry and ashamed, and even the hand holding Shuang Wu trembled very much. She even felt that her body was no longer under her control, and she disobediently expressed all her inner feelings vividly.
Just when she was helpless, suddenly a force came from Frost Nothing to help her stabilize her wrist, and then gradually stabilized her body that was panicked and overwhelmed for a while.
Xiao Man came back to his senses and saw that it was Fang Yuan who grabbed the violently trembling frost with his hand!
Streams of blood flowed slowly from his hands, and the blood dripped on the ground, making a "tick-tick" sound, each of which deeply shocked Xiaoman's heart. For a moment, she didn't know what to do, and immediately let go of the hand holding Frost Nothing.
"Master......" Fang Yuan turned his head and carefully put Shuang Wu into the scabbard, looking at her with a soft look in his eyes, "His opponent is me, and it's not here, it should be ...... at the Taidou Banquet"
"Hahahaha......" Xiu Tianze laughed again, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank you! If you hadn't been able to resist choosing to end up for a while, I really don't know what to do! Such a good opportunity was almost wasted, thanks to you!"
At this time, the yin and yang weird man with a traitorous face who had complained to Xiu Wannian at the beginning came over and whispered: "Third Young Master, don't forget the little one! ”
Xiu Tianze patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! I can't forget it! After the matter is completed, this young master will be rewarded!"
The people around probably understood what was going on at this time, although the prestige and influence of Cassia Zi was by no means weaker than that of the executive vice president of the Land and Water Chamber of Commerce, but after all, the other person was no longer there, but Xiu Wannian was still alive, so naturally no one wanted to offend the Xiu family for this kind of thing.
Although Xiu Tianze's methods were not very glorious, in the final analysis, after all, it was Fang Yuan himself who couldn't hold back the trouble for a while. Everyone present looked at them with the mentality of watching the excitement, only two people were not, one was Mo Ziqi on the side, and the other was Bai Miao not far away.
When Xiu Tianze came over to Xiao Man's table with a wine glass, a trace of subtle deceit appeared on Bai Miao's face, while Mo Ziqi stared at Fang Yuan intently, pushing his eyes upward from time to time, as if he was expecting something.
"Hehe......" Fang Yuan suddenly laughed for some reason, and he said to Xiu Tianze, "Obviously, my master doesn't want to marry you, you plan to use the marriage contract made by the elders to blackmail her?"
Fang Yuan's smile made Xiu Tianze feel very unhappy, he snorted coldly and said, "What kind of blackmail? What about despicable means? I don't have anything I can't get if I want! I don't believe that you Sword Immortal Sect people dare to break the contract in public!"
"Actually, I don't really understand, what age is this, why are you still playing with a marriage contract?" Fang Yuan said helplessly, "Are your parents' orders matchmaker's words?"
"What do you know!" Xiu Tianze said, "From ancient times to the present, cultivators have been adhering to many traditions left by their ancestors, you are a beginner, these rules are also something you can discuss?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said, "That's the case, then we have to honestly follow the rules, we can't break the rules, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around couldn't help but sigh.
The little raw melon egg of the Sword Immortal Sect looked quite rushed, I thought that he and Xiu Tianze would have a good show! I didn't expect that he was also a coward, and he had already surrendered before he could do anything, which naturally attracted bursts of ridicule and criticism from the surrounding melon-eating masses.
Although Xiao Man didn't know why Fang Yuan said this, she believed that Fang Yuan was by no means what those people were talking about.
Bai Miao, who was not far away, smiled slightly when she saw this, picked up a wine glass in front of her, and took a sip lightly. Mo Ziqi, who seemed to have seen something, gently pushed his glasses, and a light seemed to flash on the glass.
Xiu Tianze smiled disdainfully and said, "Even if you know each other, don't worry, Young Master Ben will spare you a dog's life." After all, you are the only disciple of my unmarried wife. ”
"Question!" Fang Yuan made the appearance of a primary school student raising his hand, "You just said that the contract will only take effect if you defeat the representative of the Sword Immortal Sect in the official competition, right?"
Xiu Tianze doubted: "Do you think there will be suspense in the battle between us?"
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "But if I lose before I meet you, won't you have a chance to compete with me?"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Mo Ziqi's mouth actually rose slightly, as if he had already guessed that Fang Yuan would say this.
"You ......"
Xiu Tianze couldn't find anything wrong with Fang Yuan's train of thought for a while, he had completely ignored this problem before, not to mention that this kid's cultivation was not high, even if he could fight, he could also deliberately lose the competition.
In this way, unless you can meet him at the beginning, you will not be able to compete with him at all. Although the order of the competition was absolutely random and uncontrollable, it was not enough to stump him, because he was Xiu Tianze, but he was the son of the vice president of the Land and Water Chamber of Commerce!
Xiu Tianze walked in front of Fang Yuan, patted his face contemptuously with his hand, and said, "Don't worry! Your opponent will definitely be mine!"
Fang Yuan not only didn't have a trace of displeasure, but slowly raised his head, and looked at Xiu Tianze with a bit of provocation on his face.
"Thank you!"
