On the jade bed, the beauty quietly opened her eyes.
Xiao Changfeng said happily: "Ruyan, you're awake!"
"Father...Father?"
Xiao Ruyan opened her eyes and saw Xiao Changfeng, but she turned her head stubbornly, refusing to take another look.
Xiao Changfeng felt a pain in his heart, and sighed quietly: "Ruyan, father knows that you have resentment in your heart, but... father can't help himself!"
Xiao Ruyan still looked away and refused to say a word.
Xiao Changfeng's heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, knowing that his daughter had given up on him.
"Okay, I can't listen to what my father says, but you can always listen to Ji Qing's words, right?" Xiao Changfeng sighed deeply.
Xiao Ruyan trembled when he heard this and couldn't help turning his head, his eyes full of doubts.
Xiao Changfeng knew his daughter's thoughts and explained: "My father is incompetent. When he found out that you were poisoned, there was nothing he could do for you. It was Ji Qing who miraculously saved you!"
Xiao Ruyan's eyes were full of shock. She knew the toxicity of Jiuyou Duanhun Powder better than anyone else. It could be said that her throat was sealed with blood.
After being poisoned for several hours, there was basically no cure. Ji Qing was able to save himself. What a brilliant medical skill!
"Where is he... others?" Xiao Ruyan trembled slightly.
Xiao Changfeng sighed again and said: "Ruyan, I know there are some words you may not like to hear. It is imperative to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. Otherwise, our Xiao family will offend the Huang and Xue families at the same time. It will be difficult for us to live in the royal city in the future."
Standing."
Seeing that his daughter was getting excited, Xiao Changfeng said quickly: "Don't be excited yet, listen to what I have to say! Maybe this unsolvable situation now has a chance to turn around!"
Xiao Ruyan's beautiful eyes turned slightly and said in surprise: "What father means is..."
Xiao Changfeng nodded and said: "That's right! If you really don't want to marry into the Huang and Xue families, maybe you can leave this matter to Ji Qing! I think... if it is Ji Qing, you... should
You won’t refuse, right?”
After listening to Xiao Changfeng's words, Xiao Ruyan's face, which was originally pale due to weakness, turned red.
Seeing Xiao Ruyan's shy attitude, Xiao Changfeng sighed slightly: "Actually, I could tell what you were thinking during the Dan Dan Conference. When Ji Qing was accepted as a disciple by Emperor Xingyuan, his
Your status is comparable to that of the Huang and Xue families. If we bring you two together, that’s fine, but..."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Xiao Ruyan actually felt a little happy.
But when he heard the word "just", Xiao Ruyan couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and said weakly: "Just what?"
"Alas... I never thought that you would do such a decisive thing. I was afraid... I was afraid that you would be careless and ruthless!" Xiao Changfeng sighed.
Xiao Ruyan's heart couldn't help but beat hard, and she said without giving up: "If he has no interest in me, why would he help me again and again?"
"Father is someone who has been here and can see things more clearly than you. Although I don't know why he entered the Xiao family, Ji Qing must have come with a certain purpose. That's why my father made such a move at the Dan Dan Tournament, deliberately
Let him face off against Tong Wenchang. Who would have expected that Ji Qing would become the savior of the Xiao family! In fact, his father's distrust at the time had actually completely angered him. If you hadn't stood up to support him, he would have been afraid.
He has already walked away."
After hearing Xiao Changfeng's words, Xiao Ruyan was even more puzzled: "If that's the case, doesn't that mean more..."
Xiao Changfeng shook his head and said: "Because of this, it further proves that he is not a man and a woman, but a friend! If he entered the Xiao family because of you, he would never be so big because of his father's distrust.
If he is angry, he will not be very low-key before the Dou Dan Conference, but will try every means to make his father and you take him seriously. Although I don’t know why, something must have happened at the Dou Dan Conference to completely anger him.
, kill Tong Wenchang and leave no trace behind!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ruyan's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
The authorities were confused. After Xiao Changfeng's analysis, Xiao Ruyan realized that maybe he was wishful thinking, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Ruyan, you don't have to be like this, there may be a turning point in this matter!" Xiao Changfeng said.
Xiao Ruyan said with tears: "Father, there is no need to comfort me..."
"I'm not trying to comfort you. Maybe you can really fight for this. I wasn't sure before, but now... I'm 70% sure." Xiao Changfeng said.
"70% sure?" Xiao Ruyan asked doubtfully.
Xiao Changfeng nodded and said: "That's right! Ji Qing should have his own purpose in coming to the Xiao family, so I'm not sure at all. I'm afraid of offending a future giant, so I haven't spoken. But after what happened to you today, I can conclude that Ji Qing is a
A very loyal person! If... you really don't want to marry into the Huang and Xue family, you may be able to break this window with him. With his temperament, he will not watch you jump into the fire pit."
Xiao Ruyan's eyes couldn't help but light up, but soon dimmed.
For a woman, especially a stunning woman like Xiao Ruyan, it is too difficult for her to pierce this layer of window paper.
This requires great courage!
Moreover, what Xiao Changfeng said just now made it very clear that Ye Yuan was just a friend to him.
What if...he refuses?
If you don't pierce it, you might still be friends; if you pierce this layer of window paper, you might not even be friends anymore.
This is not the ending Xiao Ruyan wants!
There is no greater sorrow than death. She may feel even worse than death by then!
"I..." Xiao Ruyan was obviously deeply entangled.
"Well, I also know that this is a bit cruel to you, but this is the best solution that my father can think of. The most important thing is that you love Ji Qing, don't you? Ji Qing has been away for a long time
Wait, I'll ask him to come in right away. It's up to you whether to tell him or not." Xiao Changfeng sighed slightly, turned around and went out.
Xiao Ruyan didn't notice that at the moment he turned around, a gleam flashed in Xiao Changfeng's eyes.
It was good for Xiao Changfeng to say this for the sake of his daughter. More importantly, once Ye Yuan and Xiao Ruyan became a couple, the Xiao family would be on the same page as the Alchemist Guild.
With this relationship, no one can shake the Xiao family's position in the royal city!
Xingyuan dared to punish the royal family for Ye Yuan, which shows how much he values this apprentice.
Once the two get married, the pattern of the royal city's alchemy world will change again, and there will be no need to continue the Dan Dan Conference!
This is Xiao Changfeng’s deeper calculation!
Xiao Ruyan has a simple mind, how can he see Xiao Changfeng's deep thoughts?
Having said that, even if she sees it, she will definitely want to keep Ye Yuan's heart without hesitation, right?
