Chapter 697 The most beautiful woman in the Southern Region
There was a rather shocked look in Zishuihan's eyes. He looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman and said in disbelief: "Aunt, you...you just said..."
"You heard me right, the main reason why the Zi family holds this grand event this time is to marry you off." The beautiful middle-aged woman said calmly.
"But...but, Shui Han has no plans to get married yet. Even if he does in the future, he absolutely cannot accept this method of recruiting a bride through a martial arts competition." Zishui Han frowned, looking quite excited.
Shouldn't marriage be based on mutual love?
However, the act of recruiting a bride via martial arts competition means that she will be married to a strange man whose name, appearance, and age she does not know in the future.
It's even impossible to tell whether the other person's character is good or bad.
As long as the other party can win in the end, Zishuihan will marry him according to the will of the Zi family. What is the difference between this and becoming a vassal commodity?
Seeing Zi Shuihan's resistance, the middle-aged beautiful woman smiled coldly, "You don't accept it? So what, is this something you can decide? Don't forget, from childhood to adulthood, I am the general of the Zi family.
Since you raised me as an adult, you naturally have the right to make decisions about your marriage."
As she said that, she looked at Zishuihan and said with a hint of teasing: "Besides, don't you know the debt you are carrying? Our Zi family has taken great risks to raise you for so many years, and we have done our best to be benevolent... You
If you don’t get married, will you still want to harm my Zi family in the future?”
Hearing this, Zishuihan's face became extremely gloomy, and he said a little lost: "Is this... is this a decision made by my uncle? I... I want to see him."
The middle-aged beautiful woman snorted softly and said: "Your uncle entered the back mountain retreat half a year ago in order to reach the realm. It's not that you don't know. He has not yet left the retreat. Naturally, I have full authority to manage all matters in the family.
."
"What, do you think that as the mistress of the Zi family, I have no right to influence your affairs?" The beautiful middle-aged woman named Qi Fenghuang asked with a stern expression.
At the same time, Lin Che, who was standing aside, heard the conversation between the two from beginning to end and couldn't help but frown slightly.
He finally understood why Senior Sister Zi was in such a situation before.
It turns out that she is not really a member of the Zi family, but is just fostered in the environment of the Zi family. Moreover, she also has such a strong and demanding aunt, and her status seems to be very unpopular. Even her own life-long events,
All must follow the arrangements of the Zi family.
"aunt."
Just when Lin Che was hesitating whether to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately, he saw a young man walking towards him. The man had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face. When he came to the hall, he bowed to Qi Fenghuang with a smile and said, "My child, Qi Sheng, pays homage to my aunt.
"
Seeing the young man, Qi Fenghuang changed his serious expression, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Sheng'er, get up quickly."
After Qi Sheng stood up, he looked at Zishuihan beside him.
However, when he noticed Lin Che next to Zishuihan, he couldn't help but look grim and said: "Junior Sister Zi, I went to your residence in the sect early yesterday morning, but I didn't find you. It turns out that
You have rushed back early...but I didn't expect that you would bring back this outsider?"
"In my mind, Junior Brother Lin is not an outsider."
Zishui Han heard the intended meaning in Qi Sheng's words, frowned slightly, and then looked at him and said: "Senior Brother Qi, even if there was some distance between you and Junior Brother Lin before, but after all, as fellow sect members, you will not exclude him so much.
Bar?"
Qi Sheng did not answer Zishuihan's words, but turned to look at Lin Che, "You appear here, do you want to participate in the Young Heroes Conference held by the Zigu Family?"
"Whether I will participate or not doesn't seem to have much to do with you, right?" Lin Che said calmly.
The two of them had already developed hostility within the sect, so Lin Che would naturally not be polite if she felt the other party's intention.
"I just want to remind you that this is not a sect. Without the blessing of the Sword Master, if you are still as arrogant as before, you may have to pay some price."
Lin Che smiled and said, "Really? Then I don't have to worry about it."
Hearing this, Qi Sheng narrowed his eyes, and a gloomy look appeared on his face, but on this occasion, he didn't show anything.
"Junior Brother Lin, let's go." Zishuihan felt the subtlety of the atmosphere and did not dare to allow the two of them to have too many conversations, so he hurriedly spoke to Lin Che.
Lin Che nodded slightly, glanced at Qi Sheng, and then followed Zishuihan out of the hall.
"Sheng'er, do you know this person?"
Before, Zishuihan brought Lin Che back to the clan. Seeing that he was so young, Qi Fenghuang didn't pay much attention to him and just regarded him as an ordinary sword sect disciple. But now, seeing Qi Sheng's behavior when facing this person, he
It made Qi Fenghuang feel curious.
Qi Sheng withdrew his gaze from outside the hall and sneered: "It's just a clown, not worth mentioning."
"That's true. As the direct disciple of the Master of the World Sword Sect and the Soul Dao Academy, my nephew's achievements in the future are limitless. How dare that kid offend me? He really doesn't know the heights of the world." Qi Fenghuang said.
Of course, Qi Fenghuang didn't know that the young man standing in front of her just now was actually the disciple of the Master of Swordsmanship. In terms of identity, he was not weaker than Qi Sheng in the slightest.
At this moment, Qi Sheng did not explain to Qi Fenghuang, but changed the subject and said: "Aunt, I heard from cousin Yanran that the real purpose of this grand gathering held by the Zi family is to choose a husband for Junior Sister Shui Han.
Don’t know if this news is true or false?”
"Not bad." Qi Fenghuang nodded.
Qi Sheng's expression changed and he said: "In that case, then my nephew..."
"No." Qi Fenghuang seemed to know what he was thinking. Before he could finish speaking, he said, "You are absolutely not allowed to participate in this grand event."
Qi Sheng said: "Why is this? Aunt, you should know that my nephew has been attracted to Junior Sister Shui Han for a long time. He has also pleaded with aunt many times, but he has always encountered obstacles... This time, since there is such an opportunity,
Why does my aunt still want to cut off my thoughts?"
"I really don't know what you see in her?" Qi Fenghuang frowned.
But then, she thought about it, snorted and said: "Forget it, I can't blame you actually. After all, that girl's mother was known as the most beautiful woman in the Southern Region, and she inherited that woman's appearance.
As she has grown up over the years, her talent has become more and more impressive. Even my aunt can't help but feel jealous of her sometimes... It's no wonder that you only met her once many years ago, but you still can't forget her.
