Yuan Wanbi was delighted at first, but then she was startled. The Yuan family?
Yao Yao thought back to the events that had transpired in the Yuan Family. She shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with the Yuan Family. It was my half-sister who colluded with outsiders to seize the Yuan Family. Now that even father has been deceived, please don't blame the Yuan Family."
She still had a basic conscience, and she was afraid that Shangguan Yunque would get angry and put the whole Yuan family in a passive position.
Shangguan Yunque said coldly, "Then, let me meet your sister, as well as that outsider who bullied you."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Wanbi was overjoyed.
Shangguan Yunque didn't just have a lofty status, he was also an extremely powerful martial arts expert. His cultivation had already reached the Level Seven Fairy Realm, and no one in the city could rival him.
Although Su Yuxian was most likely an almighty Divine Master, Shangguan Yunque wasn't someone to be trifled with, and he surely had some powerful treasures with him.
If not, why would the Shangguan Clan allow their Young Master to come to the Blue Mountain Ridge alone?
His heart was filled with madness. "Su Yuxian, Yuan Yingying, your good days are over!"
Yuan Family.
Su Yu and Yuan Yingying were sent to the central palace, where the people were busy decorating the place with lanterns and colored banners.
The faces of the clansmen were filled with joy. Those who did not know would have thought that the Yuan family was having a grand wedding.
"Yingying, you're here." The Yuan Family's Head looked at the joyous Yuan Mansion and felt extremely happy.
The Yuan family's greatest worry, the Elixir Production Alliance, had crumbled overnight, and their beloved daughter, Yuan Yingying, had become the family's greatest female genius in its history. She would soon enter the Soul Seizing Palace and have a meteoric rise.
Moreover, a middle-stage alchemist had appeared in the Yuan family a few days ago. Coupled with the early-stage alchemists they had plundered from the Elixir Production Alliance, the Yuan family's alchemy power had increased by several times in one go, and they had become the overlord of the whole Blue Mountain Range.
"Father, is there a need to be so extravagant?" Yuan Yingying knew that they were going to hold a banquet.
The Yuan Family Head chuckled and said, "Three joyous events have arrived, and the Yuan Family is experiencing an unprecedented grand occasion. How could we not hold a grand celebration?"
"Yingying, you're the star of the show tonight. Go rest at the side and don't be absent." The Yuan Family's Patriarch chuckled as he looked around.
As Su Yu looked at the Yuan family, he knew that it was time for him to leave.
He would leave quietly when there were too many eyes.
The Yuan Family had completely occupied the Blue Mountain Range, so Yuan Yingying wouldn't have to worry about her future. The only thing that displeased Su Yu was the fact that she wanted to go to the Soul Seizing Palace, which really displeased him.
Since the Soul Seizing Palace's Master had placed him at the edge of danger, he would have to settle the score with him sooner or later.
The crowd ran around in a jubilant mood.
However, right at this moment, a soft shout that shook the entire Yuan Family came from outside the gate. "Yuan Family, listen up! Tell Yuan Yingying and Su Yuxian to come out! "
The Yuan Clan members were enraged by this shout.
Impudent!!
Their Yuan Family was like the sun at high noon, and it was a festive time for them to hold a banquet. How could they shout like this? What would happen to the Yuan Family's reputation then?
Defeating Armies's face darkened. "Men, capture him!"
Immediately, a group of ferocious martial artists wanted to rush out.
"Wait, don't attack. The one who came is very strong." The Yuan Family Head stretched out his hand to stop them. His eyes were extremely solemn.
Su Yu stood up slowly and looked outside the manor. He furrowed his brows slightly and said, "An expert has really come, and his aura isn't that of an ordinary Fairy Realm expert. I reckon that he will soon reach the later stage of the Fairy Realm."
Shock appeared on Yuan Yingying's face. "A late stage Fairy Realm expert wants to trouble us?"
She couldn't understand how she had ever provoked a late stage Fairy Realm expert. Could it be that she had accidentally offended someone during the Blue Mountain Meet?
"Why don't we just go out and take a look? Since he called out to us, wouldn't it be disrespectful for us to refuse to go out? " Su Yu's gaze became ice-cold. It would be better for those people who wanted to harm them to come out, as they could eliminate all of their worries before leaving.
The Yuan Family members stopped what they were doing and went out of the manor.
However, when they reached it, they were all startled.
A youth, who wore white clothes and had an extraordinary bearing, was standing outside the gate.
However, the person standing next to him was unexpectedly Yuan Wanbi!
"Wanbi, what the hell are you doing? Why did you bring people to cause trouble in the Yuan Family? "Defeating Armies furrowed his brows as he spoke.
Yuan Wanbi smiled. "Cabinet Elder Defeating Armies, I just have some personal grudges, and I want to discuss them with my sister and Su Yuxian. I didn't cause any trouble."
The Yuan Family Head swept his gaze over his daughter, then looked at the youth, who had an extraordinary bearing, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
He was only in his early twenties, yet he had already reached the Level Seven Fairy Realm. Just such a talent alone was enough to shock the Yuan Family Head.
"I'm Shangguan Yunque. I think that I will soon have to call you father-in-law," Shangguan Yunque said.
Defeating Armies's eyes flickered, and he asked in surprise, "Shangguan Yunque, are you from the White Cloud Lake's Shangguan family? Wait, why are you calling me father-in-law? "
The Yuan Family members were also shocked, as the Shangguan family ruled over the Nine Mountain Ranges, Seven Mountains, Six Caves, and Five Villas.
Shangguan Yunque wore a faint smile. "Oh? Didn't the Yuan Family Head announce my engagement with Wanbi to the public? "
The Yuan Family members exclaimed in surprise when they heard him.
"What? The engagement between the Shangguan family and our Yuan family? "
"Impossible! How could our small Yuan family be connected to the Shangguan family?"
The crowd was filled with astonishment, ecstasy, and excitement, one after another.
What kind of glory would it be to be connected by marriage with such a great faction? Not to mention the Blue Mountain Range, there weren't many factions in the whole Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands that dared to offend them.
This was even more exciting than the Second Miss becoming the Soul Seizing Palace's outer sanctum disciple.
Yuan Wanbi's vanity was greatly satisfied, as all of her family members' gazes were once again focused on her.
In comparison, her younger sister's identity as the Soul Seizing Palace's outer sanctum disciple was just too pitiful.
Defeating Armies laughed heartily. "Wanbi, I knew that you had great fortune in your life, so I will congratulate you here."
The other family members also did the same, and their gazes were filled with envy and reverence.
What kind of glory was it to be the Shangguan family's young master's wife?
Even the Yuan family's master's status wasn't as great as hers.
The Yuan family would soon have an influential person whose name would shake the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands.
However, before they could rejoice, Shangguan Yunque said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I still want to settle a debt. Wanbi was bullied by Yuan Yingying and Su Yuxian in the family, and this matter concerns our Shangguan family's reputation. I can't just ignore it."
Shangguan Yunque's expression became ice-cold as he said, "Now, both of you should come out and discuss this matter."
The crowd immediately cooled down.
Shangguan Yunque's attitude was quite aggressive and resolute.
However, if he handed over Yuan Yingying, he would surely lose her heart. Even if he became successful in the future, he wouldn't be able to take care of the Yuan family.
However, if he refused, he would offend Yuan Wanbi, and the Shangguan family's young master's wife could easily manipulate the Yuan family and cause great trouble for them. In fact, if she hardened her heart, she might even destroy the Yuan family.
Thus, it was still better for them to obey Yuan Wanbi.
Thus, most of the people remained silent.
Yuan Yingying clenched her fists and looked at her elder sister.
Does she hate me so much? Yuan Yingying felt like she had never done anything to harm her elder sister.
While the entire Yuan family was still silent, a tall figure stepped forward. It was the Yuan Family's Master. "Young master Shangguan, this is the Yuan family, not the Shangguan family. If you think that you can interfere in our family's affairs just because of an engagement, then you can forget about this engagement."
If the bride went back on her word, then the engagement would be invalid.
Yuan Wanbi's expression changed. "Father, how can you do this? This is my life's most important matter, so how can you … "
Before she could finish speaking, the Yuan Family's Master interrupted her with a shout, "Shut up!"
His shout made Yuan Wanbi shrink back. Ever since she was young, she had rarely seen her father so angry.
"Wanbi, my good daughter, you colluded with an outsider to bully your younger sister. You're really a good daughter taught by me!" The Yuan Family's Master's face was filled with disappointment. He stood in front of Yuan Yingying and said, "Come, tell me what your younger sister owes you. What did she make you hate her so much that you even colluded with an outsider to bully her? Tell me! "
Yuan Wanbi was afraid of her father, and she tried to think of why she had done such a thing.
However, at this moment, she couldn't find any reason to do so.
Yuan Yingying had never harmed her, and she even treated her like her own elder sister. As for Yuan Wanbi, she loathed her younger sister. When she saw her younger sister's success, she became jealous of her, and when her younger sister surpassed her, she became filled with hatred.
So, how could she say such words?
"What? You can't say it?" The Yuan Family's Master asked. "Is it because you are too vain and jealous? Is it because you can't accept that your younger sister is more outstanding than you?"
"You are jealous! It's the Yuan family's uncles and elders who have treated you well for so long that they made you forget yourself! " The Yuan Family's Master said in a stern voice, "I will give you three breaths' time. Either you admit your mistake and come back, or you will never come back to the Yuan family!"
Yuan Wanbi's whole body shuddered when she heard him.
This wasn't what she wanted to see. She just wanted to vent her anger and reclaim her position in the Yuan family.
She hadn't expected that her father would be so decisive as to drive her out of the Yuan family.
"One!" the Yuan Family's Master said.
"Two!"
Yuan Wanbi's eyes were filled with struggle. What should she do? Should she leave the Yuan family and marry into the Shangguan family? But, if she wasn't a member of the Yuan family, she wouldn't have the right to marry into the Shangguan family.
The Yuan Family's Master was about to count to the end.
However, at this moment, a figure stepped in front of her father and said, "Father, let me settle this matter by myself. This is our grudge, so don't make things difficult for my elder sister."
The Yuan Family's Master remained silent for a moment before he closed his eyes and said, "I will give you the time it would take to brew half a cup of tea."
Yuan Wanbi glanced at Yuan Yingying and sighed inwardly. In the end, Yuan Yingying was still kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to see her elder sister driven out of the family.
But, in Yuan Wanbi's eyes, her kindness was nothing more than charity.
"I don't need your hypocrisy." Yuan Wanbi stared at Yuan Yingying.
Shangguan Yunque looked at Yuan Yingying and asked, "Is it you? Wanbi, how do you want to treat her? As long as you say it, I will do it. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be the Shangguan family's enemy. "
