As soon as Gu Qi said that, it caused an uproar in the Celestial Equal Sect.
As Gu Qi's only daughter, coupled with Gu Lingyao's looks and talent, it was no exaggeration to say that she was the dream goddess of countless people in the Celestial Equal Sect. Many disciples, including the genius disciples, had always regarded Gu Lingyao as their goddess and never allowed anyone to taint her.
But now, the woman in their hearts was suddenly betrothed to someone else by Gu Qi. Moreover, the person was someone they had never heard of.
At this moment, many disciples in the entire Celestial Equal Sect could be seen shouting angrily.
"Damn it. Who is this Xiao Chen? I must cripple him. "
"What does Sect Master mean by this? How can he betroth Senior Sister Lingyao to someone he has never heard of?"
"Xiao Chen? Is he a disciple of our Celestial Equal Sect? Why haven't I heard of him before? "
"Xiao Chen, don't let me find you. Otherwise, I will definitely cripple you."
In an instant, Xiao Chen became the public enemy of all the male disciples of the Celestial Equal Sect. Countless of them declared that they would cripple Xiao Chen.
Moreover, it wasn't just them. Gu Lingyao, who had left the bamboo courtyard earlier, also heard her father's words in her residence. Her face sank and she immediately wanted to rush to Gu Qi's residence.
Could it be that he asked her to leave just to talk to Xiao Chen about this? She was furious, but apart from that, Gu Lingyao also felt inexplicably shy. She couldn't help but blush.
The entire Celestial Equal Sect was in an uproar because of Gu Qi's words. At the same time, Xiao Chen, who was sitting opposite Gu Qi in the bamboo courtyard, was already in a daze.
He stared at Gu Qi in disbelief. After a long while, Xiao Chen spoke in a daze. "Sect Master, what … what are you doing? Miss Gu and I, we …"
"Alright, alright. What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't fancy my daughter? Or do you think Lingyao isn't worthy of you? "Before Xiao Chen could finish his sentence, Gu Qi interrupted him.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen said with a bitter expression. "That's not what I meant. It's just that Miss Gu and I, our relationship is completely …"
Xiao Chen wanted to say that there was no romantic relationship between her and Gu Lingyao, but Gu Qi interrupted Xiao Chen again.
"Since it's not, then it's fine. Lingyao is my only daughter. I'll say the ugly words first. In the future, if you dare to let Lingyao down or let her suffer the slightest bit of harm, I'll teach you a lesson."
Upon hearing Gu Qi's words, Xiao Chen was completely speechless. He didn't expect that Gu Qi, as the Sect Master, would force a matchmaking ceremony without asking for his opinion or giving him a chance to reject. Great, Gu Qi had already announced that the engagement would be held in three days.
With a bitter expression, Gu Lingyao rushed in and shouted at Gu Qi with a furious expression. "Father, what's the meaning of this? Why are you betrothing me to this guy?"
Gu Lingyao turned to Xiao Chen and blushed. However, she still shouted at Xiao Chen. "Also, did you say something to Father?"
"I …" Facing Gu Lingyao's scolding, Xiao Chen felt helpless. What the f * ck did I say? I didn't say anything. I was forced to do something that was beyond my ability.
He wanted to explain, but the father and daughter pair didn't give Xiao Chen a chance to speak. As soon as Gu Lingyao finished speaking, Gu Qi immediately shouted in a deep voice.
"Shut up! Little girl, how can you scold me like this? I'm the one who betrothed you to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen didn't say anything. This is my decision. Why? Do you have any objections?"
Gu Qi shouted in a deep voice. Hearing this, Xiao Chen was actually a little touched. This old guy finally said something fair. However, Xiao Chen quickly reacted. Damn it, why am I feeling touched here? Wasn't all of this caused by Gu Qi alone?
After hearing Gu Qi's words, Gu Lingyao didn't want to let it go. She went to Gu Qi's side and pulled his arm. She pouted and said coquettishly, "Father, I'm still young. I don't want to get married so soon. I still want to spend more time with you."
"Alright, this matter has been decided. Let me ask you one question. Do you really not want to marry Xiao Chen? If that's the case, then forget it. "Facing Gu Lingyao's coquettishness, Gu Qi deliberately put on a straight face.
Hearing Gu Lingyao's words, Gu Lingyao didn't reply. Her face, which was already red, became even redder. She also avoided Xiao Chen's gaze. In the end, she lowered her head and said coquettishly, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore." After saying that, she lowered her head and ran out. She didn't even look at Gu Lingyao.
He didn't know what was wrong with Gu Lingyao. Just now, Xiao Chen secretly hoped that Gu Lingyao would directly reject him. If that happened, and he agreed from the side, perhaps Gu Qi would really take back his order. However, who would have thought that Gu Lingyao would directly run away. This made Xiao Chen feel helpless. He thought to himself, What's wrong with this girl?
He secretly complained about Gu Lingyao. Only Gu Qi looked at his daughter's back and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, Xiao Chen, this matter is settled. Three days later, I will personally witness your engagement ceremony. You can leave now. As for your residence, I have already arranged it for you. It's right next to Lingyao's. You two should get closer in the future."
Without giving Xiao Chen any more chances, Gu Qi began to chase him away. Seeing this, Xiao Chen seemed to want to say something but hesitated. However, in the end, he still left the bamboo courtyard with a bitter expression. Looking at Gu Qi's appearance, it was useless to say anything.
After Xiao Chen left, Gu Qi's face immediately revealed a sly smile. However, it quickly disappeared and a serious look flashed across his eyes.
"I hope this kid is reliable. Otherwise, Lingyao is finished."
Gu Qi sighed softly. As he spoke, he looked at the distant horizon. At the same time, an inexplicable mighty force slowly spread out from Gu Qi's body.
If there was a Saint present at this moment, he would definitely turn pale with fright. This was because the aura emitted from Gu Qi's body belonged to a Saint. In other words, the Sect Master of the Celestial Qi Sect, Gu Qi, was not a Half-step Saint expert as the world thought. He was a genuine Saint expert, a true Saint expert who had transcended the mortal world.
A Saint expert had hidden himself as a Half-step Saint and established a sect like the Celestial Qi Sect in Danyang County. It was obvious that Gu Qi was hiding from something.
