The Shentu Family is a super family in Dahuang Prefecture. It has a strong reputation with the powerful man who owns the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge.
Logically speaking, it would not have anything to do with small families such as the Xiao family.
But when Xiao Lie was young, he accidentally saved a seriously injured warrior. That warrior happened to be a big shot in the Shentu family, and was Shentu Miao's father.
Later, out of gratitude, Shen Tu Miao's father promised that if Xiao Lie had a son in the future, he and Shen Tu Miao would be sworn brothers, and if Xiao Lie had a daughter, they would become husband and wife.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Wanrou became Shen Tumiao's fiancée.
But this time Wuyan City was breached, and the Xiao family was hunted down by the Holy Son of the Blood Barbarian. Xiao Lie had no choice but to take Xiao Wanrou to the Shentu family in Beiliang City.
Ye Guchen didn't have a deep impression of Shen Tumiao, and he didn't have a good impression.
In the Tianhuang Plain, Xia Yubing also teamed up with Shen Tumiao to chase him, and Shen Tumiao also took action in the Void Sword Realm.
But now, Ye Guchen doesn't care about Shen Tumiao. He and Shen Tumiao are no longer on the same level.
So when he learned that the girl in the carriage, Xiao Wanrou, was Shen Tumiao's fiancée, Ye Guchen was not at all shaken.
He would not implicate his fiancée for Shen Tu Miao.
Anyway, after arriving at Beiliang City, Ye Guchen will part ways with them.
Within the carriage.
There was a hint of melancholy on Xiao Wan Rouyu's face, and she tried to say: "Mother, Wanrou doesn't want to marry that Shen Tu Miao."
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? The Shentu family is a super family in Dahuang Mansion, and Young Master Shentu is even more talented. He has also entered the top forces such as the Sealing Sword King Palace. You know, the seven major forces are so powerful.
The existence we look up to." Mrs. Xiao said, with a look of yearning on her face.
Just one Shentu family can make Madam Xiao kneel and lick her, let alone the seven major forces.
"But Wanrou just doesn't like Shen Tumiao." Xiao Wanrou said a little aggrievedly.
Xiao Wanrou once saw Shentu Miao. He was tall and muscular, with red magic patterns all over his body. He was no different from a barbarian.
What's more, she also knew Shen Tumiao's character. He claimed to be a swordsman and was arrogant and arrogant. Xiao Wanrou really couldn't like such a person.
"Girl, mother, don't you know what you are thinking? What you like is a sword cultivator like Sword Sect Ye Guchen, but firstly, Ye Guchen is already dead. Secondly, even if he is not dead, with us
Can your identity and status be associated with such geniuses?"
Even a snobbish person like Mrs. Xiao spoke with a hint of admiration when she mentioned Ye Guchen.
In her eyes, Ye Guchen's status was naturally higher than that of Shen Tumiao, but unfortunately he was already dead.
When Xiao Wanrou heard this, there was also a look of disappointment in her beautiful eyes.
"So don't think too much about Ye Guchen, just follow Mr. Shentu with peace of mind. Such a good opportunity is the blessing that your father has cultivated for eight lifetimes. He saved Mr. Shentu. If you dare to regret your marriage, my mother will not spare you!"
Mrs. Xiao said plausibly.
In her eyes, being able to become the wife of a young master from a super aristocratic family is extremely glorious.
Not only was Xiao Wanrou unhappy, she even proposed to break off the engagement. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the Shentu family?
Therefore, Mrs. Xiao will never allow Xiao Wanrou to break off the engagement.
"Mother, you only know how to please the Shentu family, don't you take your daughter's happiness into your heart?" Xiao Wanrou said aggrievedly with a little mist in her bright eyes.
She is a girl in her prime, but that girl is not pregnant with spring.
In Xiao Wanrou's heart, Ye Guchen has long been regarded as the standard for the other half of her heart.
"Emotions are cultivated. With identity and status, happiness will naturally come. Don't worry, my mother is also thinking about you. Don't make it difficult for your parents, okay?" Mrs. Xiao understands emotions and moves with reason.
, leaving Xiao Wanrou speechless.
Although her face was full of bitterness, she still nodded in aggrieved manner.
"That's right. Don't worry, Mr. Shentu will definitely not treat us badly." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
Outside the carriage.
Although Ye Guchen had no intention of eavesdropping on her conversation, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Wanrou spoke loudly, so Ye Guchen heard them even if they didn't want to.
He didn't expect that a girl he had never met would actually harbor a slight admiration for him.
However, Ye Guchen is not an emotional person. It is impossible to help Xiao Wanrou regret her marriage just because she admires him. This is someone else's family matter, and Ye Guchen will not be so nosy.
So Ye Guchen just pretended not to hear and drove the carriage with peace of mind.
About an hour later, Ye Guchen, who was sitting on the carriage, suddenly had sharp eyes.
"Brother Xiao, be careful." Ye Guchen suddenly said.
"Little brother, what do you mean?" Xiao Lie was confused for a moment.
Ye Guchen frowned slightly. Although Xiao Lie had the cultivation of the Nine Transformations of Soul, his perceptual ability was far inferior to Ye Guchen.
Ye Guchen had already felt the vibration of horse hooves coming from the ground behind him.
At the same time, there is also the smell of blood.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
At this moment, blood-red arrows suddenly shot out from behind, leaving bloody afterimages and attacking the carriage and Ye Guchen's group.
"careful!"
The sudden attack shocked the Xiao family guards around the carriage.
Xiao Lie's expression also changed.
Hearing the whistle of arrows, Mrs. Xiao's expression in the carriage suddenly changed and she hurriedly opened the curtain.
"Ma'am, be careful!"
Seeing those bloody arrows shooting out, Xiao Lie stepped on the horse's back, took Mrs. Xiao's hand, and pulled her away from the carriage.
"My daughter is still inside!" Mrs. Xiao screamed, and Xiao Lie's expression changed drastically.
Ye Guchen's eyes flashed, and he stepped directly into the carriage.
At this moment, a bloody arrow had been shot into the carriage.
The thin wooden boards of the carriage were like paper, without any defense capability.
"Ah..." Xiao Wanrou's face was pale.
At this moment, an arm suddenly wrapped around Xiao Wanrou's slender waist, and then Xiao Wanrou felt her delicate body being pulled into someone's arms.
Her long fringed skirt was thin, and her graceful body was almost close to the man's body.
Just as Xiao Wanrou was about to struggle, she heard a young man's voice: "Don't move!"
Ye Guchen stretched out his other hand and caught the bloody arrow with his bare hands.
Xiao Wanrou stared blankly, with surprise in her eyes.
The next moment, Ye Guchen tiptoed, hugged Xiao Wanrou, and quickly exited the carriage.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The continuous bloody arrows directly shot the carriage into a sieve.
"Daughter, no!" Mrs. Xiao cried out sadly.
If Xiao Wanrou dies, then she really has nothing to do with the Shentu family.
For Mrs. Xiao, who dreams of becoming a human being, this result is somewhat unacceptable.
However, two figures swept out from the carriage, it was Ye Guchen and Xiao Wanrou.
"Thank you, little brother!" Xiao Lie said excitedly after seeing that Xiao Wanrou was unharmed.
When Mrs. Xiao saw this, her face was also happy, but then her face suddenly darkened.
"What are you doing holding my daughter in your arms? Let her go quickly. She is the fiancée of Mr. Shentu Miao!"
As Shen Tumiao's fiancée, she was being hugged and taken advantage of by another man like this. Naturally, Mrs. Xiao didn't want to see this scene.
Even if Ye Guchen did this out of desperation to save Xiao Wanrou, Mrs. Xiao was a little unhappy.
