"Misunderstanding? The reason why my sister agreed to that thing was just to give Qianjie a backup, and she didn't really want her to marry into the Yang family?" Guo Xingzhou was a little dumbfounded and didn't know how to end it.
Guo Xiaorong said it was a misunderstanding easily, but what should he do? After all, he had already informed the Yang family about the marriage. The head of the Yang family was happy for several days and was very happy to marry the Xia family and marry the Guo family.
They even got married and even gave him a big gift in advance!
Now he wants to return the precious gift and then tell others that everything was a misunderstanding?
It's just a gift, but if he goes back on his promise, where will his majesty be in the future?
Guo Xingzhou was very distressed, but what could he do if he was distressed? If Guo Xiaorong didn't nod his head and the Xia family head didn't nod his head on this matter, it would be useless for him to worry.
After thinking about it, he could only blame himself for being too impatient, caring too much about his own interests, and wanting to win over the Yang family so as to consolidate his influence in the Southern Dan Alliance.
After all, the Dan Alliance is a bigger cake than the Guo family! With Mrs. Guo here, it is impossible for him to become the head of the Guo family, but if he can gain a greater say in the Dan Alliance, that is also a top priority!
But now everything is ruined.
Yang Tianhua was also extremely depressed. Guo Xingzhou wanted to use the Yang family to consolidate his position in the Southern Dan Alliance. He also wanted to use Guo Xiaorong's influence in the Guo family to consolidate his position in the Yang family.
And not only does he need this marriage, his father also values this marriage very much. But looking at the current situation, this good thing will most likely come to nothing.
Yang Tianhua was so unwilling, but the family not far away was enjoying themselves, so why did he care about his mood?
The head of the Xia family, Guo Xiaorong, and Xia Qianjie are a very harmonious and even enviable family.
Shen Lang was indeed envious from a distance, but he did not take the initiative to disturb him.
But Xia Xiaoniu felt that Shen Lang looked lonely standing far away, so she stretched out her little hand to him and motioned for him to come over.
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, but he understood Xia Xiaoniu's thoughtfulness, so he stepped forward and held her little hand. As a result, the family of three people suddenly became four people.
Guo Xiaorong glanced at Shen Lang. She seemed to still have a lot of dissatisfaction with this guy and disliked him very much. However, since her daughter liked him, she didn't care too much and allowed Shen Lang to blend in.
Regarding family, I didn’t say much.
Originally, everything was beautiful, but when Shen Lang took Xia Xiaoniu's hand and easily integrated into the big family, it hurt Yang Tianhua's heart.
Because Yang Tianhua felt that he should have been the one who could have held that little hand and gained the respect of Guo Xiaorong and the head of the Xia family. But now all the benefits fell into Shen Lang's hands.
Then he thought about it seriously, and suddenly showed a false smile and said to Guo Xiaorong: "It turns out that all this is a misunderstanding. Lovers will eventually get married, and I should give my blessing. But I fell in love with Miss Qianjie at first sight, and they are not married.
I wonder if Aunt Guo can give me another chance."
Guo Xiaorong is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Guo, and the Guo and Yang families are family friends, so in order to appear close to her, Yang Tianhua deliberately called Guo Xiaorong Aunt Guo. This was intended to remind her of the friendship between the Guo and Yang families and hope that she would give her face.
But Guo Xiaorong was so smart that she replied casually: "You seem to have made a mistake. I have been married to the Xia family for many years. You should call me Mrs. Xia, or Aunt Xia."
"This..." Yang Tianhua was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed tightly. Because this answer seemed casual, but it was actually very clever.
After all, Guo Xiaorong is a member of the Guo family. Considering the friendship between the Guo and Yang families, it stands to reason that she should give him some face, and it is not easy to refuse him directly.
However, Guo Xiaorong said that she is now Mrs. Xia and a member of the Xia family. This is actually equivalent to saying that she has no control over this matter and it should be decided by the head of the Xia family.
And since the head of the Xia family had no friendship with the Yang family, it was difficult for others to say anything about whether he would give the Yang family face or not, so it naturally became very simple to deal with this matter.
Yang Tianhua understood that Guo Xiaorong deliberately bypassed the friendship between the Guo and Yang families, but he could only bite the bullet and asked the Xia family leader: "I don't know, the Xia family leader..."
The head of the Xia family glared and said, "What? Give you a chance to pursue my daughter? Do you want to challenge Mr. Shen to a duel or what? If it's a duel, I have no objection."
"Duel?" Yang Tianhua wanted to vomit blood. Shen Lang had previously kicked away all the monks in the Kongming Realm. In a duel with such a person, wasn't he looking for death?
However, Yang Tianhua is also a man with quick thinking. When the Xia family leader mentioned the word duel, he rolled his eyes and thought of a way to defeat Shen Lang. He suddenly smiled.
"Yes, it's a duel!" Yang Tianhua turned his head, looked at Shen Lang with provocative eyes and said: "Both the Guo family and the Xia family are alchemy families. I heard that Brother Shen also knows the art of alchemy. It happens that tomorrow the Southern Alchemy Alliance will The alchemy conference is about to begin. Do you dare to compete with me in alchemy? Let’s make a gentleman’s agreement. The winner will get the beauty, and the loser will withdraw.”
"Gentleman's Agreement?" Shen Lang disliked the word "gentleman" very much, because these two words were too noble, and few people in the world could match them. Moreover, he was really in no mood to talk nonsense with Yang Tianhua, so he said directly: "I'm sorry, I I'm not a gentleman, I have no interest in betting with you, let alone competing with you in alchemy skills."
"You're scared!" Yang Tianhua continued to pester: "Does it mean that Junior Uncle Qingyun doesn't even dare to accept other people's challenges?"
Shen Lang frowned slightly. In fact, he was not afraid. It was just alchemy. How difficult could it be? Why should he be afraid of Yang Tianhua?
Although Yang Tianhua can be regarded as a fourth-level alchemy master, maybe his alchemy skills are really good. But so what? Think about it, Mo Yingyou, a fourth-level alchemy master, was defeated by him in the ancient tribe of the wilderness?
Yang Tianhua may not be stronger than Mo Yingyou, right?
Therefore, in Shen Lang's view, relying on his many magical powers, it may not be difficult to defeat Yang Tianhua in alchemy.
But the crux of the question is, why does he have to compete with Yang Tianhua in elixir making? Isn't this just looking for trouble?
He is very busy day by day now. The Nether Fire Diamond has not been found yet. He also wants to contact the fairy as soon as possible and return to Qingyun to meet his pregnant wife Qian Ye. There are a lot of things waiting for him to do. Where is the time to waste Yang Tian's body?
As for the gentleman's agreement proposed by Yang Tianhua, he thinks it is ridiculous to the extreme.
What does it mean that the winner gets the beauty and the loser quits? Is the ability to make alchemy strong or not? What does it mean to win or lose? What does this have to do with winning the heart of a beauty?
Have you ever considered Xia Xiaoniu’s feelings? Could it be that after winning, Xia Xiaoniu will like the winner?
This kind of agreement is too wishful thinking, too selfish, and cannot be described as a gentleman at all. It is simply ridiculous and shameless to the extreme.
Of course Shen Lang couldn't agree.
However, Shen Lang disagreed, but Yang Tianhua took advantage of the situation and continued to pester him as if he was very awesome: "You are just afraid! You are afraid of losing to me, you are afraid of losing face, and you are afraid that you will be embarrassed after losing.
Marrying the daughter of the Xia family! I didn’t expect you to be such a courageous coward!"
