"Ai, what a pity …"
Seeing that Qin Fang didn't seem to be joking, Xu Zizhen also knew that he was telling the truth. He couldn't help but sigh softly.
People were like this. At first, Xu Zizhen was against it, but he didn't have the right to speak, so he didn't have much strength to oppose it. He could only helplessly carry out the family's orders … But looking back, things went in the direction he expected, and he felt disappointed again.
"What kind of mentality is this?"
Hearing Xu Zizhen's sigh, Qin Fang couldn't help but roll his eyes. He couldn't help but despise this guy in his heart.
"Don't be happy too early. I'm afraid that some people in the family will still make an issue out of this. You have to be mentally prepared in advance …"
Xu Zizhen felt that this matter was already out of his control, so he simply didn't care about it. But he didn't forget to remind Qin Fang.
"What do I need to be mentally prepared for … Your Xu family can't force me to buy or sell, right?"
Qin Fang rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
He had seen people snatching a bride and snatching a wife, but he had never seen someone forcing a wife on himself … Of course, the Xu family wouldn't really force Xu Jiao to be a cabbage that no one wanted. Even if some people's heads were kicked by a donkey, they still wouldn't!
…
On the other side of the banquet hall, there were other people gathered. These people's identities were different from the guests outside. Some of them were old men wearing Taoist robes and monk robes, and some had swords on their backs.
There was no doubt that these people were masters from the martial arts world. Naturally, they wouldn't mix with those secular people.
Brother Niu and the others also ran over at this time. They were juniors and didn't like to mix with these older generation masters. That was why they mixed with the guests outside. But now, they had no choice but to come over.
After a simple search here, they found the existence of a few people. Brother Niu led two of his underlings over.
"Young Master Tianfeng, Second Young Master Xu …"
After walking over, Brother Niu, who was quite arrogant before, suddenly became much more obedient. He greeted the few people present very politely … Especially the young man sitting at the head seat, he was even more cautious.
"Wu ~ ~"
However, that person only snorted softly and didn't even look at Brother Niu … Brother Niu didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, he seemed to be a little excited. Was he too despicable?
"Oh, it's Junior Brother Niu. Let's sit together …"
On the other hand, Second Young Master Xu was very polite. He took the initiative to greet Brother Niu and the others. After all, he was the host of the event.
"Thank you, Second Young Master …"
In this regard, Brother Niu and the others also hurriedly expressed their gratitude, and then sat down in the corner beside these few young people.
Similar to Brother Ox and the others, the people gathered here were also experts of the younger generation. They were all around 30 years old, but their strength and grade were much higher than Brother Ox and the others.
There was no need to mention Young Master Tianfeng, Lu Tianfeng. He was definitely the leader of this group. His cultivation had already reached the Grandmaster level, and he was much stronger than everyone present. It was natural for him to sit at the head seat.
This Second Young Master Xu was Xu Shaofeng's eldest son, Xu Zixiong. He was rather doted on by Xu Shaofeng because his cultivation talent was also quite good. He had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster level at a young age, and was only on par with the Xu Family's prodigy, Xu Jiao.
Of course, he was a few years older than Xu Jiao, so he lost a lot of points on this point …
If Xu Jiao could marry outside the family, this fellow would be the first to raise his hand in approval. That way, he could logically become the first in line to inherit the Xu Family … This was also the reason why he had a good relationship with Young Master Tianfeng, Lu Tianfeng.
If they wanted Xu Jiao to marry outside the family, it had to be under a situation where the Xu Family could benefit a lot from it. The Lu Family was much stronger than the Xu Family. Although it still couldn't meet the Xu Family's requirements, it was still barely enough …
The others were also outstanding talents from some of the martial arts world's noble families or sects in Southeast Asia. They were all under 40 years old, but their cultivation was all around the peak of the Grandmaster level. Their combat strength might not be as good as the sword cultivator Second Young Master Xu, but they were still much stronger than Brother Ox and the others.
It could be said that the standard of the entire Southeast Asia was much stronger than that of a small island … It was even not much worse than some of the ordinary sects in Long Province.
However, compared to those ancient sects with a long history, it was still too far, too far away!
For example, the slightly decent disciples in the Tang Sect were all at the Grandmaster level and above, and the outstanding disciples had all stepped into the Grandmaster level … They were all experts with the title of Elder. If it weren't for the Tang Sect's stricter control of the bloodline of the direct descendants, Tang Mingyuan absolutely wouldn't be able to sit firmly in the position of the Ten Great Elders with his strength.
However, most of these noble families in Southeast Asia also came from Long Province. There were even many families that were passed down from the disciples of the various large sects that had been around for thousands of years … Take the Tiannan Lu Family for example. It was said that their ancestor was an elder of the Tianshan Sect, and because of some reason, he went overseas, which resulted in the Tiannan Lu Family.
Most of the other families came from the same way, but they occupied the resources of Southeast Asia and got a lot of benefits from the hands of the indigenous people. That was why they didn't slowly decline, but gradually became stronger.
In comparison, the land of Chidragon had been developed for thousands of years, and its resources were close to exhaustion. Only the thousand-year-old sects had a deep foundation and could barely hold on. Those sects that were slightly weaker could withstand the torrent of time and eventually declined … Needless to say, those martial arts families were considered very good if they could survive for more than a hundred years. Many of them were completely ruined after three generations.
After Brother Niu and the others sat down, they were all well-behaved, and they didn't dare to talk too much. They were like mutes, just listening to the conversation between Second Young Master Xu and the others, especially the conversation between Second Young Master Xu and Lu Tianfen.
"Young Master Lu, you have to prepare your gift well this time. If you miss this time, I'm afraid that the resistance will be even greater …"
Xu Zixiong's relationship with Lu Tianfen was very good, and in addition, he was a firm supporter of Xu Jiao's marriage. The people beside him were all his friends, and they all knew about it. Naturally, they didn't find it strange, and they even gathered together to think of ideas and ideas.
This time, it was no exception …
"I have prepared the gift, but … I'm not confident enough!"
Although Lu Tianfen was very arrogant, but that was only to some people. When he was with Xu Zixiong, the two of them were relatively equal in status …
Although Lu Tianfen's realm was higher, if they really fought with their lives, Xu Zixiong's chances of winning were higher. This was because he knew that Xu Zixiong not only had a very high level of understanding of sword essence, but his sword was also a rare weapon …
With these two added together, Lu Tianfen's advantage wasn't so obvious, and naturally, his attitude changed accordingly.
In addition to some other reasons, they were on the same side, so their relationship was naturally closer …
It was also because of their good relationship that Lu Tianfen didn't put up so many defenses against Xu Zixiong. He also didn't hide his helplessness, because this mountain was really too difficult to conquer.
"Young Master Lu, you can't be like this … Let me tell you something. If you can't capture the Old Master's heart this time, then I'm afraid there's no way to salvage the matter between you and Jiaojiao!"
Xu Zixiong naturally knew that Lu Tianfen was in a difficult position, and he was also very clear about the Xu Family's determination. After a moment of silence, he still decided to reveal a little bit of information to Lu Tianfen. This was originally forbidden.
"Hm?
Could it be that things have changed? "
Lu Tianfen and Xu Zixiong had been friends for many years, and they were very familiar with each other. The simple change in tone immediately made him feel that something was wrong.
"There are too many things that I can't say. Think about it yourself …"
There were too many people around, and Xu Zixiong couldn't openly defy the Xu Family's rules, so he could only stop here.
"Young Master Lu, this one has heard some news …"
Seeing that Lu Tianfen had become silent because of Xu Zixiong's words, Brother Niu knew that his opportunity had come, and he immediately said slowly.
"Speak …"
Lu Tianfen originally didn't care much about a small character like Brother Niu, but he didn't care about this at this time, and he shouted with an incomparably gloomy face.
"It's said that among the guests invited by the Xu Family this time, there's a very young expert with a terrifying cultivation. It seems that his background is also not simple, and his relationship with Miss Xu Jiao … seems to be not simple either!"
Brother Niu came for this opportunity, so he immediately expressed it as if adding oil to the fire.
What exactly was the relationship between Qin Fang and Xu Jiao? Even the Xu Family was confused, but Brother Niu seemed to know very well … Of course, he didn't say it that clearly, and only used this kind of "can only be understood, but not explained" to replace it.
But the effect of this was far more impressive than a detailed explanation … The horror of the imagination was also fully displayed at this moment.
Pa ~ ~
Without waiting for Brother Niu to finish speaking, Lu Tianfen had already slammed his palm on the tempered glass table in front of him. The sound wasn't very loud, but the table directly turned into a pile of fine powder.
It was obvious how irritable Lu Tianfen's mood was at this moment.
Lu Tianfen's sudden display of power shocked everyone, but they were only bystanders and didn't know anything about it, so they naturally couldn't say much, and simply kept quiet.
"Second Young Master, is this true?"
Lu Tianfen asked Xu Zixiong very directly. Among so many people, only Xu Zixiong was considered to be in the know.
"It's just a rumor, it's hard to tell if it's true or false …"
And Xu Zixiong only gave an ambiguous answer, but it made the eyes of Brother Bull and the others brighten up a lot …
