"Who knew that guy would be so ugly? I was about to throw up after seeing a portrait. If I saw the real person, wouldn't I throw up my intestines? "Xue Qingqing hurriedly said. However, she did not dare to think about it as she was afraid that she would throw up last night's dinner.
"Then what should we do? The City Lord will definitely not agree! "Xue Hai wiped his cold sweat.
He was the most successful merchant in Thousand Gold City. He could still afford to return the fifty million taels of silver, which was equivalent to a million taels of gold.
However, Xue Qingqing was engaged to the City Lord of Thousand Gold City. If they were to cancel the engagement, wouldn't they be slapping the City Lord's face?
In the future, they would not be able to live peacefully in Thousand Gold City.
"I don't care. In any case, I won't marry that ugly guy. Moreover, father, didn't you attract so many consecrators in recent years? Our Xue Family is not much worse than the Zhang Family. If we can't fight, we will fall out." Xue Qingqing said angrily.
"You little girl really knows how to cause trouble for me. It would have been fine if you didn't agree back then. Now, you've caused such a big problem for me."
Xue Hai was also helpless. However, he loved Xue Qingqing the most. He also did not want Xue Qingqing to marry someone as ugly as a pig. Even if the other party was extremely talented and had been accepted as a direct disciple by an elder of the Sky Splitting Sect.
As an outsider, Ye Xuan also kept his mouth shut and did not interrupt.
The three of them were silent for a while. However, at this moment, a servant of the Xue Family suddenly came in.
"Master, someone from the City Lord's Mansion is here!"
"What? So fast? "
Xue Hai was shocked. He did not expect the Zhang Family's information network to be so good. Xue Qingqing had not returned for ten minutes and the other party had already sent someone over.
"It must be because we were discovered when we entered the city. Father, I don't care. Anyway, I want to cancel the engagement. You do as you see fit. Otherwise, I'll run again." Xue Qingqing's heart also jumped as she said.
"Don't. The world is so chaotic now. If you run around again, what if you meet some bad people?" Xue Hai said as he turned his head and said, "Quickly invite consecrator Lian and then invite the City Lord's Mansion's guest in."
"Yes!"
The servant left in a hurry. Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in.
"Revered Elder Lian, this time my Xue Family might be in big trouble with the Zhang Family. I hope Revered Elder Lian can help. I agree to your conditions!" Xue Hai said painfully.
Reverend Lian was an expert that he had recently invited. He had already reached the ninth-grade of the Martial Path. However, the other party's offer was too high. It was equivalent to the price of five consecrators at the peak of the Eighth Stage of the Martial Path, so Xue Hai hesitated.
But now, he could only agree!
"Haha, that's easy. Since I'm the Xue family's consecrator, I'll definitely take action." This Consecrator Lian was also full of smiles because he could get ten million taels of silver every month, and this was without doing anything.
Then, Revered Elder Lian stood behind Xue Hai. After a while, the people from the City Lord's Mansion came in as well.
"So it's General Chen. Welcome!" Xue Hai hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists when he saw the visitor.
General Chen was the garrison general of the City of Thousand Gold. At the same time, he was also the City Lord's confidant.
After he entered, he saw Xue Qingqing sitting at the side and said: "Minister Xue, you know the purpose of my visit right?"
Xue Hai smiled awkwardly and said: "I know. I think General Chen must be here for my daughter's marriage."
"That's right. Since Miss Xue has returned to the City of Thousand Gold, the City Lord will not pursue the matter of Miss Xue running away from the marriage. The City Lord has set a date for the engagement of Miss Xue and the Young City Lord three days later." General Chen said.
"This …" Xue Hai hesitated for a moment. He did not know what to say.
"Does Minister Xue have any objections? I will pass on the message to the City Lord. "General Chen said.
Xue Hai glanced at Xue Qingqing and saw that she was about to cry. His heart jumped and he said: "General Chen, I hope you can pass on the message to the City Lord. This marriage is not going to happen. I will double the betrothal money back to the Zhang Mansion!"
"What? You want to break off the engagement? Have you thought about the consequences of doing so? "General Chen stared at him and said in disbelief.
In the City of Thousand Gold, the City Lord had the highest authority. However, someone actually dared to break off the engagement. This was equivalent to slapping the City Lord's face.
Most importantly, the target was the Young City Lord of Thousand Gold!
"Yes, I have already considered this matter. I hope General Chen can pass on the message to the City Lord." Xue Hai braced himself and said.
"You are really rebelling. Xue Hai, do you really think that your Xue Family can go against the City Lord? The Young City Lord has already taken a fancy to Miss Xue. If you dare to break off the engagement, I am afraid that you will not be able to do as you wish in the City of Thousand Gold. "General Chen reminded.
Xue Hai clenched his teeth and said: "See the guest out!"
"Good, very good. I will pass on the message to the City Lord without missing a word. Goodbye!" General Chen said angrily and turned to leave.
Although he was at the peak of the Eighth Stage of the Martial Path, he could feel that the person behind Xue Hai was not simple. He was at least at the Ninth Stage of the Martial Path. Thus, he could not act presumptuously in the Xue Family and could only return to the City Lord's Mansion to report.
After General Chen left, Xue Qingqing rushed over and hugged Xue Hai. She fiercely kissed the latter's face: "Father is the best."
"Little girl, this time you have caused a lot of trouble for father. If you knew this would happen, why did you agree to this engagement?" Xue Hai squeezed his chubby face and said helplessly.
"I already said that I regret it. Who told you to give me a portrait so slowly? Alright, that guy's ugliness is one reason, and the second reason is actually because of him." As Xue Qingqing spoke, she suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan.
Xue Hai was dumbfounded. He did not understand.
Xue Qingqing explained: "I am not bad looking. In any case, I will marry someone like Ye Xuan. Moreover, father, didn't you want to marry me to him before?"
"You are saying that you want to marry Ye Xuan?" Xue Hai was stunned. He immediately reacted and said: "No, you are such a troublemaker. You broke off the engagement with the City Lord. If you marry Ye Xuan now, wouldn't you be harming him?"
Xue Hai was actually also a martial artist. However, he used pills to increase his strength. In essence, he was still a businessman.
As for who his future son-in-law was, it did not matter. It did not matter if he was an expert or an ordinary person. As long as he was not stupid and could take over his business, it was fine.
"Father, don't underestimate Ye Xuan. Do you know what realm he is at now?" Xue Qingqing's beautiful eyes suddenly turned as she said somewhat wittily.
"What realm?" Xue Hai asked.
In fact, he had also heard that Ye Xuan was the number one genius of the Ye Family. However, Lianyun City was only a small city. A genius from there was not worth mentioning in the City of Thousand Gold.
