"Since Brother Xu has no objection, we can finalize the marriage first." Sun Yecheng took advantage of the heat to hit the railway track.
Although there is a personal Huajin Grandmaster in the family, the worldly power cannot be too little. Marrying into the Xu family can take the Sun family's strength to a new level.
"Haha! That's exactly what I meant!" Xu Zhongxiong laughed endlessly.
Xu Zhongzheng of the Xu family has a physical problem. Only his direct descendants know this secret. He urgently needs to find a strong ally so that he will not be annexed by other families after Xu Zhongzheng's death.
"Will Xu Yao agree?" Sun Weixian was overjoyed, but still a little unsure.
Although he was in the same realm as Xu Yao, he was defeated by Xu Yao a year ago. He felt that he was not as good as Xu Yao and was worried that Xu Yao would not like him.
"You are of the right family, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and you have the orders of your parents. How can Xu Yao disagree with the matchmaker's words?" Sun Yecheng was full of confidence.
Xu Zhongxiong's words have already shown his attitude.
Seeing Xu Zhongxiong smiling and saying nothing, Sun Yecheng's heart moved: "In that case, let's make an appointment for the two young people to meet!"
"I heard from my girl that she has been studying martial arts with a master recently, and I'm afraid she can't get away from it. Let's just set the wedding date, and I will explain it to her later."
Hearing that his daughter had been very busy recently and that the Xu family was in urgent need of allies, Xu Zhongxiong decided to strike while the iron was hot.
No matter how busy you are, you always have to come over to see us when we get engaged, right?
After the two people discussed it, they set the engagement banquet for a week later, and Xu Zhongxiong said that he could win Xu Yao's ideological work.
At noon, Xu Yao, Gong Wen, Yang Chi, and Li Rui were having dinner in the hotel.
Xu Yao saw her father calling and picked up the call.
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"You know the Shangyangsun family, right? They came to propose marriage today."
"Proposing marriage, who should I propose marriage to?" Xu Yao had never been in love before, so she didn't react at all.
"Of course I propose marriage to you. Sun Weixian of the Sun family likes you."
"What!" Xu Yao exclaimed.
Xu Zhongxiong ignored her and continued: "I have agreed to your marriage, and the engagement party has been chosen, it will be on Sunday night."
Almost without thinking, Xu Yao immediately refused: "I don't agree! Marriage is my business, why do you make the decision for me?"
There was only silence for two seconds on the other side of the phone before he said: "It's not that you don't know about the situation of our Xu family. This matter is a good thing for the Xu family and for you. Besides, I have seen Sun Weixian. He is not bad and has great talent."
It’s worthy of you too.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and no longer wanted to continue explaining.
With the phone still attached to her ear, Xu Yao looked ahead, her eyes a little hollow.
Those present were all people with smart ears, and everyone could hear the voice coming out of the phone clearly.
Li Rui patted the table and asked, "Your grandfather is injured, and your father is going to take you to give away?"
Xu Yao had some tears in her eyes and bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Although her father was old-fashioned in his eyes, she did not expect that the other party would directly use her as a tool for marriage.
Li Rui looked at Gong Wen and Yang Chi and asked, "What do you say?"
"What can you say?" Yang Chi shook his head and said, "It is not convenient for us to take over the household affairs of the Guwu family. We will be gossiped about."
"The nature of our work is fixed, don't expect us to help!" Gong Wen also waved her hands, saying she was helpless.
After thinking about it, Li Rui looked at Xu Yao and asked, "Will you agree?"
"I won't agree to it even if you die." Xu Yao's eyes were firm.
Seeing that tears were about to flow out, she suddenly asked: "Li Rui, don't you want to express something?"
"What does it mean?" Li Rui asked.
Yang Chi and Gong Wen looked at each other and felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and they could no longer be light bulbs.
"Li Rui, we will send someone to contact you later for specific work matters. Let's leave first!" The two people greeted each other one after another and left in a hurry.
After the door closed, Li Rui touched his nose and didn't know where to start.
"Li Rui, what do you mean?" Without outsiders, Xu Yao could no longer remain reserved.
"Well……"
Li Rui opened his mouth, with thousands of thoughts intertwined in his heart.
With Li Yanling's teachings since childhood, he knew that when you are responsible for a girl, you should not hide too much. Xu Yao's desperate rush into the villa yesterday left a mark on his heart.
"Xu Yao, I have many secrets." Li Rui said.
"Then what?" Xu Yao's eyes were red.
"Let's put it this way, if you can accept that you have five sisters before you, I will deal with the Sun family. If not, you can become your disciple and I can help you handle your personal affairs."
"Li Rui, you bastard!" Xu Yao punched Li Rui.
Can you give me a serious answer?
As a master in the middle stage of Anjin, Xu Yao's arms were shaking with anger.
"I'm serious!"
Li Rui said with a stern expression.
Xu Yao: "..."
Sometimes, the choice is really difficult.
"You really have five..." Xu Yao's question stopped in mid-air.
Looking at Li Rui's eyes, she knew the answer.
"hehe!"
With a sad laugh, Xu Yao stood up and ran out of the house without tears or yelling.
"Although I don't mind having three wives and four concubines, I don't want to distract too much emotion. I'm sorry..."
Whispering softly, Li Rui looked at the untouched food on the table, picked up the chopsticks, and brought it all in front of him.
…
The week passed quickly.
Li Rui had a conversation with Su Xiangrong and asked him to find medicinal materials of a certain age. In return, he would give Su Xiangrong a low-level exercise.
Knowing that Li Rui's true identity was a practitioner, Su Xiangrong almost knelt down in excitement.
After sending him away, Baixiang, who had disappeared for many days, also returned.
"Master, these are the kinds of ores you want to collect." Baixiang handed over the storage ring presented by Li Rui.
After a brief inspection, Li Rui was very satisfied.
Two tons of black stone ore, five tons of hematite, ten kilograms of titanium, ten kilograms of cinnabar...
All kinds of ores combined can occupy a room even if placed on the ground.
Moreover, it contains not only the ores that Li Rui needs to refine a certain magic weapon, but the metals involved can also be used to refine other magic weapons.
At that time, he can make a fortune just by buying magical artifacts.
"Go to Su's house. If Su Xiangrong has any trouble, you can help him solve it." After counting the harvest, Li Rui returned the ring to Baixiang and told her other things.
"yes!"
After Baixiang left, Li Rui immediately started working.
In his ring, he has prepared a large amount of elixir soup that can be used to restore spiritual energy.
With the assistance of the Burning Spirit Demon Fire, two tons of black stone ore was quenched until only a small lump remained, and the impurities in the hematite, scheelite and other ores were all quenched cleanly.
The full room slowly turned empty again. Even dozens of meters away, one could feel the hot breath coming from Li Rui's room.
"The next step is to integrate and temper..."
There are too many steps in refining the weapon. Li Rui only completed the first step, which took a day and a half. There are still many ways to go.
Judging from the time spent, it was obvious that he was preparing a very terrifying magical weapon.
During this time, there were still many people from the National Security Bureau enforcing martial law outside Villa No. 16, who were sent by Gong Wen to help.
"Sister Yan Ling, Yaoyao is getting engaged tonight. What does Li Rui think?"
Su Yunyan became familiar with Li Yanling, and she no longer had the same wild thoughts as at the beginning, always thinking that Li Rui had bad intentions for him. In her heart, she was no longer afraid of this mysterious master who was powerful but actually kind-hearted.
"I don't know about Li Rui either!"
Li Yanling smiled helplessly. She didn't want to get too involved in other people's family affairs.
As for what Li Rui thinks, she thinks Li Rui has grown up and can handle it properly.
"Eh~" Su Yunyan sighed, not knowing what to say.
"The Sun family is extremely powerful. I heard that they have recently become ingratiated with a hidden ancient warrior family and have become their disciples. Even if Li Rui wants to stop it, he probably can't afford to offend the hidden family, right?"
Speaking softly, Su Yunyan felt sad for Xu Yao. Xu Yao liked Li Rui, she could tell.
Speaking of this, she suddenly reacted, looked at Li Yanling, and said: "I'm sorry, Sister Yanling, maybe you don't know what the hidden ancient warrior family is. Let me explain it to you."
"No need!" Li Yanling smiled and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Actually, I think it's okay to do something as ordinary as this, so as not to attract too many people. And in a few days, the wonton shop will be decorated and we can start work."
"Yes!" Su Yunyan nodded.
Her Su family's strength in Nanyuan City is far greater than that of the second-tier families, but in fact, they are not as good as the first-tier Xu family.
The Xu family cannot afford to offend the first-tier families in Shangyang, Yanshi and other places. These families also cannot afford to offend the reclusive Guwu family who are not greedy for worldly power and wealth.
After so many comparisons, she couldn't even feel the need to compare them, and she didn't even have the desire to talk to them.
This is completely the difference between Yinghuo and Haoyue.
Because Li Rui was too close to her, the sense of mystery dissipated a lot. Instead, she thought that Li Rui couldn't afford to offend these families.
At this time, Li Rui happened to hear the conversation in the room.
"The Hidden World Family still has this thing. I'll call Ouyang Ye later. By the way, is Ouyang Ye also from the Hidden World Family?"
With this in mind, he simply sent a text message to Ouyang Ye, and then began to count the harvest.
"Now, I can be considered wealthy."
In the storage ring, in addition to a super large pyramid iron frame, there are more than a dozen magical instruments scattered here and there. Among the highest of these magical instruments, there are three high-level magical instruments.
If these magical artifacts are sold, Li Rui has reason to believe that his wealth will definitely far exceed that of the Xu family.
"A good knife should be used on the edge. Using magic weapons to exchange for the resources I need should speed up the collection of elixirs and other items."
He laughed loudly, collected all the scraps in the house, and walked outside.
Ouyang Ye's text message also came back.
"The Ouyang family is actually the worst reclusive family?"
After reading the text message, Li Rui frowned.
"If you put it this way, there are quite a few hidden families on earth! I don't know what the strength of the Sun family's backers is like?"
Speaking of this, he thought of Xu Yao again, that girl with a fierce nature who occasionally showed a hint of shyness. Unconsciously, the scene of Xu Yao being hacked and bruised by the thunder reappeared in Li Rui's mind.
"Emotional matters are really a headache."
He rubbed his head. He used to be an invincible supreme being who had clear ideas and rarely hesitated about anything. But now he was stuck in a tangle.
