City Lord's Mansion, meeting hall.
"Master, I'm sorry!"
Just as Yu Haoran was racking his brains to think of a way to reject Lan Xin's invitation, Hei Xiong's apologetic voice sounded in his mind.
"Great, Hei Xiong. You woke up at the right time!"
Yu Haoran praised Hei Xiong excitedly with his Divine Sense and immediately put on a guilty expression.
"City Lord Lan, Miss Lan Xin, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid I'll have to reject your kind intentions."
"Why?"
Hearing Yu Haoran's rejection of her invitation, Lan Xin felt wronged and immediately raised her head to question him.
"Because Hei Xiong has already woken up. I also want to leave Weishan City immediately," Yu Haoran could only harden his heart when he saw Lan Xin's reddened eyes.
"Why?"
Not only did he reject her invitation, but he was also in a hurry to leave Weishan City. This made Lan Xin, who felt wronged, continue to question him.
"Lan Xin, City Lord Lan, do you know why I'm leaving Xianyang City?"
Blue Heart's sorrowful question caused Yu Haoran to feel a sense of guilt.
Although he had already decided to reject Lan Xin's feelings, he didn't want to see her too sad before he left. He could only think of a way to hide his true intentions.
Lan Weixiong and Lan Xin shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"The Four Symbols Sect's Four Symbols Concentration Formation!" Yu Haoran pretended to be solemn as he reminded them.
"I understand!"
Hearing Yu Haoran mention the Four Symbols Sect, Lan Weixiong, who had been paying attention to the situation of the northern expedition, already knew why he was in a hurry to leave Weishan City.
Although part of it was to avoid Lan Xin, Lan Weixiong believed that Yu Haoran was doing it more for the Four Symbols Concentration Formation.
After all, if Lei Xingjun hadn't stopped him outside the city, he would've probably bypassed Weishan City and headed straight for the Four Symbols Sect.
However, seeing Lan Xin's reddened eyes, Lan Weixiong couldn't help but sigh and give an order.
"Xin 'er, go to the treasury in the backyard and prepare a generous gift for the prince consort."
"Father, can't the Prince Consort stay for one more day?"
Blue Heart could not help but beg Yu Haoran to leave Profound Mountain City. She was very reluctant to part with him.
"Xin 'er, since you are Lan Weixiong's daughter, you must know that military orders are absolute."
Shaking his head, Lan Weixiong reminded in a serious tone.
"The orders of the emperor's son-in-law's army will determine whether the army can successfully wipe out the Four Symbols Sect and clear away the greatest obstacle in the northern expedition."
"So, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only silently obey."
"Yes, father!"
Lan Weixiong explained in a serious tone. Blue Heart, who was also well-versed in military affairs, knew that she could not affect Yu Haoran's mission because of her children's private matters.
Moreover, if she was too involved in the private affairs of her children, it was very likely that Yu Haoran would dislike her.
As such, Blue Heart could only nod and leave the meeting hall.
"Prince Consort, is it really impossible between you and Xin 'er?"
Lan Weixiong asked with a bitter smile after Blue Heart left the meeting hall.
"City Lord Lan, I don't want the princess to be sad." Yu Haoran nodded and spoke the truth.
Seeing how resolute Yu Haoran was, Lan Weixiong originally wanted to give up on Blue Heart's behalf. However, he remembered that his daughter was a very affectionate person.
If she knew that Yu Haoran would not even give her a chance to fall in love, she would probably do something extremely foolish.
As such, for the sake of his daughter's lifelong happiness, he could only continue to think of a way.
"Prince Consort, thanks to His Majesty's grace last year, this City Lord rested in Xianyang City for a period of time. During that time, I saw Princess Ling Fei a few times and have a good understanding of her."
"Prince Consort, Princess Ling Fei is not a narrow-minded person. I believe that she should be able to tolerate Xin 'er's existence."
At this point, Lan Weixiong looked at Yu Haoran expectantly.
"If Blue Heart can ask for Her Highness's acceptance, would you be willing to give her a chance?"
"City Lord Lan, why are you doing this?"
Yu Haoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that Lan Weixiong was doing everything in his power to make him accept Blue Heart.
"With Miss Blue Heart's alluring beauty, peerless potential, extraordinary temperament, and outstanding intelligence, she can choose any outstanding man in the world."
"Why are you so fixated on a married man like me?"
Yu Haoran asked with a bitter smile. Lan Weixiong couldn't help but roll his eyes.
If it weren't for the circumstances, who would be willing to marry their beloved daughter to a married man like you?
Furthermore, she would only be a lowly concubine with no hope of becoming the main wife in her lifetime.
However, Blue Heart was a person who didn't easily fall in love.
As long as her heart was moved, she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted. She would even dare to do some crazy things.
"Prince Consort, matters of the heart are complicated and ever-changing. Perhaps you want to reject Xin 'er's pursuit because of Her Highness."
As someone who had been through this before, Lan Weixiong knew that when it came to matters of the heart, he couldn't rush things, nor could he force a duck onto a perch.
As such, he changed his strategy and requested.
"However, I hope that you won't be in a hurry to reject Blue Heart. Give us some time to interact and get to know each other better."
"If you really feel that Blue Heart isn't suitable for you after interacting and getting to know her better, or you don't want to see Princess Ling Fei sad.
Then, I promise that I will personally persuade Xin 'er to give up on her own accord! "
"Alright!"
Lan Weixiong had already shown his greatest sincerity by taking a step back.
If he continued to reject Blue Heart, he would seem unreasonable and offend Lan Weixiong, which would hurt Blue Heart deeply.
This wasn't an outcome that he wanted to see, so Yu Haoran could only nod in agreement.
"Since that's the case, I'll let Xin 'er send you out of the city on behalf of me!"
Seeing that Yu Haoran had finally agreed to his request, Lan Weixiong let out a sigh of relief inwardly and couldn't help but feel proud.
He believed that with his daughter's intelligence and gentle personality, as long as the two of them interacted a few more times, Yu Haoran definitely wouldn't be able to reject his daughter's affections.
Since he couldn't escape his daughter's affections, Yu Haoran would soon become his son-in-law and become a family.
As such, after considering the complicated situation in the northern expedition as well as Yu Haoran's safety, Lan Weixiong gave him a command.
Lan Weixiong immediately took out a green medallion from his storage ring and handed it to him as he instructed.
"Prince Consort, there's a vice-commander called Lan Rong in the army attacking the Four Symbols Sect this time. Not only is he my absolute confidant, he's also a peak ninth grade Martial Saint."
"If you encounter any trouble or danger in the northern expedition, you can take this green medallion to him. He'll follow your orders."
