Seeing Su Yu, the island masters did not dare act arrogantly. They all stood up and congratulated him. "I am Baihua Lan. Congratulations to Master Xue for becoming a Star Pavilion appraiser. Congratulations!"
"Hahaha, I have long heard of Second Young Master Xue's name. Now that I have seen you today, you are indeed a dragon among men!" Lu Zhongtian observed Su Yu. In his eyes, he could faintly see the nine dragons on Su Yu's back.
Since ancient times, nine to five was the sign of an emperor.
Controlling the nine dragons was the symbol of an emperor.
Hence, he did not deliberately flatter Su Yu. Instead, he kept a low profile.
But he could not suppress the shock in his heart.
He, who was proficient in divination, had a premonition at first glance that the youth in front of him was an emperor who stood above all others.
But Lu Zhongtian felt incredulous. He had divined the waters of the Sword Pavilion more than once, but had never sensed an existence with the Emperor's Mandate.
This made Lu Zhongtian very confused.
"Haha, nephew Xue Yu, how have you been? I stayed at the Xue manor to wait for your return, to congratulate you for becoming a Star Pavilion appraiser." Murong Feng also came forward to congratulate him, his tone very polite.
The rest of the island masters all came forward to congratulate him.
Only Li Qiankun and Li Jun were motionless like wooden statues, a stark contrast.
Su Yu smiled in response. "Everyone, please take a seat."
The island masters took their seats, but Li Qiankun and his son were still standing in their original positions.
Ever since Su Yu had appeared, their minds had gone blank, as if they had lost their souls.
Seeing that the two of them were behaving strangely, Su Yu was slightly surprised, and asked, "Master Li, Brother Li, the two of you are … Oh, right, I wonder what matter Master Li mentioned about me just now? I am also very interested to hear it. "
Li Qiankun and his son finally snapped out of their daze.
Their arrogant expressions were completely different. At that moment, it was as if the sky had collapsed, their faces pale and their eyes lifeless.
It was over!
Su Yu was lucky, he had not died!
He must have known that the Li family had ambushed them!
With Xue Yu's current status, he did not need to ask the Star Pavilion for help. The hundreds of island masters present would be more than happy to serve Su Yu and kill the entire Li family to please Xue Yu.
Thinking of this, Li Qiankun broke out in cold sweat.
Li Jun was in an even worse state. His legs were trembling and his lips were trembling.
"Father, Brother Xue is asking you a question. You should answer him." Li Yue spoke at the right time. She looked calm and gave Li Qiankun a comforting look.
Li Qiankun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Su Yu didn't know about what had happened that day?
If that was the case … Li Qiankun seemed to have found a life-saving straw and saw the light of hope.
At this moment, all thoughts of occupying Twin Star Island and secretly killing Xue Yu were thrown out of his mind.
His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt that his plan to ambush Su Yu was extremely risky.
Su Yu laughed. "Is it because I am present that it is inconvenient for Master Li to talk about it?"
Su Yu's eyes were filled with suspicion. He was a perceptive person. How could he not see the strange expressions of Li Qiankun and his son?
Noticing the strange look in Su Yu's eyes, Li Qiankun's body trembled slightly, and his heart felt bitter.
He was here to announce Xue Yu's grievous news. Apart from that, what else could he announce?
He racked his brains but couldn't find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
Even Li Yue, who was beside him, sighed inwardly, feeling anxious for him.
As time passed bit by bit, the suspicion in Su Yu's eyes became deeper and deeper, and the Island Masters gradually revealed impatient expressions. Li Qiankun knew that he couldn't drag it on any longer, or Su Yu would definitely see through him.
He couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Li Yue. Li Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, expressing her helplessness.
Who asked Li Qiankun to announce something important about Xue Yu in such a high-profile manner? She couldn't think of any words in such a short time.
Li Qiankun's heart sank, and he had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, Li Jun saw Li Yue standing close to Su Yu's left side, facing Murong Qingcheng. He couldn't help but realize something.
Who was Murong Qingcheng? Although Xue Yu's fiancée had canceled the engagement, she had been living in the Xue family as the future daughter-in-law of the Xue family for the past six months.
Sister Li Yue and Murong Qingcheng standing face to face seemed to have some special meaning.
He cast a glance at Li Qiankun. Li Qiankun was slightly startled. He looked at Li Yue and Xue Yu, a little confused.
All of a sudden, he remembered something.
At that time, Star Pavilion Master Mu Canghai had joked that if Xue Yu fancied Li Yue, she would be the matchmaker.
Thinking of this, his eyes fiercely shone as he said excitedly, "Master Xue, Island Masters, this matter concerns Master Xue's life. Therefore, I was a little hesitant. I hope you can forgive me."
Hundred Blossom Blue's beautiful brows creased slightly, "Li Family Leader, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't try to change the topic."
In other words, he was too long-winded.
Li Qiankun cleared his throat and coughed twice, then said, "Actually, my daughter Li Yue has always admired Master Xue. As a father, he understands my daughter's feelings. Therefore, he has decided to propose marriage to the Xue family in front of all the Island Masters. He hopes that the two families will be connected through marriage and put an end to my daughter's yearning."
Huh?
Li Qiankun had been holding back for a long time. It was actually a marriage between the two families?
But soon, many Island Masters cursed inwardly.
"Preposterous! That old man Li Qiankun actually beat us to it! "
"Why is he thinking the same thing as me? I still want to introduce my precious daughter to him! "
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. That Li Qiankun usually doesn't say anything, but he is actually so shrewd!"
"What should we do? Li Qiankun has spoken first. How am I supposed to speak?"
All of a sudden, the expressions of many Island Masters changed, and they all stared at him with unfriendly looks.
Li Qiankun's whole body turned cold. He was like a frog being stared at by hundreds of poisonous snakes. He was so frightened that his heart was thumping wildly.
Xue Yuntian was stunned. He did not expect Li Qiankun to propose a marriage between the two families at this juncture.
He looked at Li Yue. Although the Xue family was inferior, Xue Yuntian knew Li Yue very well. Her character was different from the rest of the Xue family.
If she were to marry into the Xue family, he would be very happy.
But he could not make a decision for Xue Yu in this matter. He could not help but look at Xue Yu and ask, "Yu-er, what do you think?"
Su Yu was confused. Ever since he came into contact with Li Yue, Li Yue had a simple temperament and was emotionless.
At least, he had never felt admiration from Li Yue.
He could not help but look at Li Yue and ask, "Miss Li, is this the result of your discussion with the Li family's master?"
Even though Li Yue was usually calm, she was shocked by her father's earth-shattering words. Her crystal-clear eyes blinked repeatedly.
When she looked at her father, she could not help but complain.
Her daughter was innocent. How could he slander her in public? She was about to reject him.
But she heard Li Qiankun's pleading voice: "Yu-er, just admit it. I really can't think of an excuse."
"But you can't bring up my marriage, can you?" Li Yue replied.
Li Qiankun said, "Yu-er, it's my fault. But please admit it for the sake of the lives of the whole family. Do you really want our ambush of Xue Yu to be exposed, and the whole Li family to be destroyed?"
Li Yue secretly clenched her teeth. She was angry, which was rare in her life.
But after a moment's deliberation, she sighed helplessly.
For the sake of the family, she could only compromise.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Yue regained her coldness.
Li Qiankun was delighted. He said, "It's very simple. Admit that you admire Xue Yu and ask me to propose marriage! Of course, words alone are not enough. It would be best if you can take action. "
Li Yue thought for a moment and murmured, "Action? Okay, I understand. "
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Yue was calm as if nothing had happened. She said, "Yes, I admire Xue Yu. I asked my father to propose marriage."
Hearing that, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Pooh! Shameless vixen! How could you say such a thing without batting an eyelid! "Many young women cursed secretly through telepathy.
However, what caused them to be dumbfounded was …
After Li Yue finished speaking, she squatted down and approached Su Yu. She kissed Su Yu's cheek with her rosy lips.
This kind of shameless behavior really shocked them, and they were stunned when they saw it.
Even Bai Hualan, Lu Zhongtian, and the others were stunned.
Su Yu was even more stunned. He looked at Li Yue and said in surprise, "Why did you …"
Li Yue wiped her lips, looking confused. She said, "I admire you, so I kissed you. Isn't that how it is between lovers?"
Unfortunately, she was focused on the Martial Path. All she knew about romantic relationships came from stories she had heard by chance.
She felt that kissing someone when she admired them was the most natural thing to do.
However, she did not know how shocking it was in public.
Su Yu's mind was in a mess. He could not understand the situation.
Did Li Yue really admire him?
"You don't believe me?" Li Yue frowned. She did not understand how romantic relationships could be so troublesome. She said, "Then I'll kiss you again."
"Stop!" Su Yu covered his face hurriedly. "I believe you, okay?"
Li Yue straightened her body and said, "Oh." She stood on Su Yu's left side with an expressionless face. She did not care about the surprised gazes of the crowd.
Su Yu felt a slight headache. After pondering for a moment, he said apologetically, "Miss Li, I accept your kindness. However, I'm focused on the Martial Path. I'm afraid I'll let you down."
His tactful rejection was obvious.
Moreover, it also indirectly dispelled the other Island Masters' thoughts.
Some of them were glad that Li Qiankun had tried on their behalf, so they would not have been rejected awkwardly.
Some of them blamed Li Qiankun for blocking this path.
They believed that if they were the ones to do it, there might be a chance. For example, the Hundred Flowers Blue.
Her daughter, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, was far superior to the Li family in terms of appearance, talent, and family influence.
Unfortunately, Li Qiankun had ruined their plans.
She stared at Li Qiankun, then at his empty body. She said, "Master Li, apart from coming here to propose marriage, did you not prepare a congratulatory gift for him?"
Li Qiankun, who had finally found his footing, once again hovered in the air. His fingers carelessly touched the half of the Starlight Herb gift box in his sleeve.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Yu tried to smooth things over. He said, "It's fine. As long as he's here. I appreciate your kindness. There's no need to make things difficult for Master Li."
