"Shangguan Yunze, we have arrived at Shenbing City."
Tong Xinye frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she still answered Ling Tian.
Tong Kai had previously said that Shangguan Yunze would come to Tong Mansion to propose marriage after the weapon refining competition.
Now, the other party is probably already in Tong Mansion.
At this moment, it is estimated that Tong Xinye has joined the Weapon Refining Guild.
"Does he still want to propose marriage to the Tong Mansion?"
Ling Tian had an intriguing smile on his lips and asked Tong Xinye.
Tong Xinye looked at Ling Tian with a complicated expression.
But soon, he lowered his head again.
I hesitated to speak several times, as if there was something unspeakable.
Ling Tian didn't mean to force Tong Xinye, he just looked at Tong Xinye quietly.
"In this weapon refining competition, Xinye got the help of the young master and achieved first place. Xinye is very grateful."
After a while, Tong Xinye gathered up her courage, bent her knees, and knelt down facing Ling Tian.
"Are you so polite?"
Ling Tian was startled by Tong Xinye's sudden behavior.
Then, he quickly stepped forward and helped him up from the ground.
But he was also deeply confused in his heart because of the other party's actions.
No matter how you look at it, Tong Xinye seems to be a little abnormal today.
"The day before yesterday, I agreed to join the Weapon Refining Guild and was accepted as a disciple by Teacher Huangfu. After knowing about the engagement between me and Shangguan Yunze, Teacher Huangfu had already visited Tong's house yesterday to help me withdraw from the guild.
This is the marriage."
After getting up, Tong Xinye slowly explained to Ling Tian.
"Tong Kai refused?"
Ling Tian boldly guessed.
Elder Huangfu is the red-gold-robed elder of the Weapon Refining Guild, and his status in the Weapon Refining Guild is much higher than that of Jiang Shanhe.
Logically speaking, Tong Kai should give Elder Huangfu face.
But judging from Tong Xinye's face at this time, it seems that things are not going well.
"There was no rejection and no acceptance."
Tong Xinye shook her head, "He only said that this was a matter between the Tong family and the Shangguan Saint Clan. Even if the engagement was to be canceled, Shangguan Yunze's consent should be obtained. Shangguan Yunze had already arrived two hours ago.
A banquet has also been held at the Tong Mansion in Shenbing City. The Tong family just came over to send a message, inviting me and Teacher Huangfu to come over to discuss the matter."
"Is this a good thing?"
Ling Tian looked at Tong Xinye with an increasingly weird look.
Although he knew that Tong Kai was deliberately refusing by saying that.
But if you think about it carefully, what Tong Kai said is not wrong.
This marriage is between the Tong family and the Shangguan Holy Clan.
It's impossible for the Tong family to give up just because they unilaterally regret the marriage.
Tong Kai cannot be the master of this.
Even if the engagement is to be terminated, both parties must negotiate and Shangguan Yunze must agree.
Tong Kai held a banquet today and invited Tong Xinye and Elder Huangfu to go there together. It seemed quite sincere.
No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing for Tong Xinye.
But Tong Xinye's ugly face seemed to be telling Ling Tian that this matter was very difficult.
"Elder Huangfu is the eighth-level weapon refiner of the Weapon Refining Guild. Although Shangguan Yunze is a direct descendant of the Shangguan Saint Clan, he is not the absolute core disciple of the Shangguan Saint Clan. It is impossible for him not to betray Elder Huangfu's face, right?"
Ling Tian had doubts in his heart, and while speaking slowly, he cast a tentative glance at Tong Xinye.
Tong Xinye did not answer Ling Tian directly, but said with a complicated expression at this time, "This time the Tong Mansion held a banquet, and you were invited. Moreover, it was Shangguan Yunze who invited you by name. Shangguan Yunze also said, if you
If you don’t go, there will be no need to discuss the dissolution of the engagement..."
"If I don't go, there will be no need to discuss the dissolution of the engagement?"
After hearing Tong Xinye's words, Ling Tian's expression changed instantly.
From the beginning, he was entrusted by Tong Gui to resolve Tong Xinye's marriage.
But he felt that after Tong Xinye joined the Weapon Refining Guild and was accepted as a disciple by Elder Huangfu, the matter would be resolved.
Looking back now, things don't seem that simple.
Shangguan Yunze had never met him before, so how could he suddenly make such a request?
He doesn't seem to have offended Shangguan Yunze, right?
"This is all Tong Kai's fault!"
Tong Xinye gritted her teeth and whispered.
Then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Tian, "In the past few days when the young master was in the Refining Tower, Tong Kai spread rumors everywhere in the Divine Weapon City. Shangguan Yunze also insisted on you going to the banquet because of Tong Kai's words."
"What rumor?"
Ling Tian became more and more curious.
"He said……"
As soon as Tong Xinye's words came to her lips, she suddenly swallowed them back.
"Um?"
Ling Tian stared at Tong Xinye in surprise.
A shy look appeared on Tong Xinye's face, and she turned her head away unnaturally, as if she was deliberately avoiding Ling Tian's gaze.
Ling Tian realized something and shook his head helplessly with a smile, "He is fabricating the relationship between you and me?"
"Um."
Tong Xinye lowered her head and confirmed Ling Tian's guess.
"This Tong Kai's mind is really not that ordinary."
Ling Tian shook his head and sighed with a wry smile.
If Tong Kai hadn't deliberately fabricated the relationship between him and Tong Xinye, Shangguan Yunze would never have turned his anger on him just because he helped Tong Xinye win the first place in the weapon refining competition.
He guessed that Tong Kaiding placed the blame on his son Tong Pan because he did not rank among the top three in the weapon refining competition, so he caused trouble for him again and again.
As for what kind of rumors Tong Kai spread and how he fabricated the relationship between him and Tong Xinye.
Even if he hasn't heard it, he can almost imagine it.
"Let's go."
Ling Tian was too lazy to think too much. He said a few words, walked past Tong Xinye and walked towards the lifting platform at the top of the weapon refining tower.
"Where are you going, Master?"
Tong Xinye was stunned and turned her head in surprise.
"Go to Tong's house and have a banquet!"
Ling Tian replied calmly, but his steps did not stop.
"Master..."
Tong Xinye was moved in her heart and quickly called out to Ling Tian who had stopped.
"What's wrong? You don't want me to go?"
At this time, Ling Tian had already stepped onto the lift platform and turned around with a smile, "If I don't go, wouldn't I give Shangguan Yunze a reason to refuse this marriage."
He knew that Tong Xinye came here today hoping that he could go to Tong Mansion for a banquet.
It's just that Tong Xinye was embarrassed to speak.
In Tong Xinye's view, Ling Tian didn't owe her anything, and she had no reason to invite Ling Tian to help her.
"Master, why do you help me again and again?"
Tong Xinye frowned and asked Ling Tian.
Her mood is very complicated now.
She hoped that Ling Tian could help her.
But after Ling Tian chose to help her, she felt pressure again.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to repay Ling Tian...
"Before, I was entrusted by others! But now, I do it for myself! Although it is said that the dirty will become dirty and the pure will become clear, but Tong Kai has poured dirty water on me, how can I just suffer like this?"
Ling Tian smiled, not wanting Tong Xinye to be under too much pressure, so he explained.
"Is that my dad?"
As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, Tong Xin Ye blurted out a question.
And at this moment, he cast an expectant look at Ling Tian.
"Um?"
Ling Tian's eyes suddenly froze, and there was surprise on his face.
According to his knowledge, Tong Gui had never known Tong Xinye.
But listening to Tong Xinye's question just now, it seemed that she knew about Tong Gui's existence.
