Her words caused all the elders and Li Xingda in the hall to be stunned.
"Invite this mysterious expert? I don't think it is possible, right? Even if we were willing to give up all of our family's wealth, I don't think that person would be interested in it. Moreover, once the news spreads, all kinds of old monsters will come to find trouble with that mysterious expert in a few days. I don't think that person will have the time to care about our small matter! "Li Xingda frowned and shook his head slightly.
"That's right. Girl, we know that it is unfair for you to marry that Old Devil Ying Shan. But we have no other choice!" The few elders sighed too.
"Fellow uncles, Madam Li doesn't have to do anything!" Madam Li's eyes dimmed slightly after hearing that. She softly replied.
"Ai, let's end it here today. Madam Li, tell Old Devil Ying Shan that we only need a few days to prepare the things he needs. By then, you can bring them over to him. That Old Thief Gongye will come in at most half a month!" Li Xingda sighed again.
"Yes, father. Then Madam Li will take her leave first!" Madam Li acknowledged. She bowed towards the other elders before walking out.
The two maidservants Xiao Ying and Xiao Mei followed behind her.
"Xiao Mei, do you think the possibility of us inviting that mysterious expert is as low as what father said?" After walking for a short distance, Madam Li suddenly asked.
Xiao Mei and Xiao Ying looked at each other. Xiao Mei said helplessly, "What Master said was right. That mysterious expert is now extremely wealthy. If we want to invite him, we'll have to pay a huge price. Our Li Family can't afford it. Moreover, he'll be welcoming all kinds of old monsters soon. It's impossible for him to think about other things at this time!"
"Ai …" Madam Li sighed again after hearing that.
Xiao Ying suddenly said, "My Lady, you shouldn't think too much about it. Since the immortal crystal is so precious, it will attract a large number of powerful cultivators. Tianfeng City will certainly be in chaos by then. That old thief Gongye might not even dare to show himself. Moreover, there will be many powerful cultivators coming. It will cost a lot to contact this mysterious powerful cultivator. It should be possible to contact other powerful cultivators, right?"
Madam Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she shook her head and said, "Even though that's the case, the people that will come at that time will surely be those top experts, and it's utterly impossible for them to make a move for the sake of our clan. They'll surely be busy fighting for Immortal Crystals. Moreover, that old bastard Gongye is a renowned old freak, so who would be willing to stir up trouble at a time like this?"
Her words revealed a strand of deep helplessness. Even though Skywind City would definitely be filled with experts at that time, no matter how many experts there were, it was impossible for anyone to offend Gongye Ji Qi at such a critical moment for the sake of a tiny Li Clan!
"But that Old Thief Gongye usually has many enemies as well. Once he comes to Sky Wind City, perhaps he'll be the first to cause trouble for us!" Xiao Ying refused to give up.
"Oh you, stupid girl. Even though that Old Thief Gongye has committed all sorts of evil, could it be that he's able to live for so long by relying on himself? He has a group of scoundrels as well. At that time, everyone will be busy fighting for the immortal crystals, and they'll probably not be willing to fight to the death for some small troubles of the past! To those old monsters, benefits are the most important. Not to mention the temptation of the immortal crystals is so great. At that time, they'll surely fight for the immortal crystals at the first possible moment. It's normal for them to temporarily put aside some small enmity! "Madam Li couldn't help but laugh.
"How detestable! That Old Thief Gongye really deserves death. Why doesn't he overcome the heavenly tribulation? It would be best if he was struck to death by a bolt of heavenly lightning! "Xiao Ying was infuriated to the point of stomping her foot!
"Then we'll have to wait. Even though that Old Thief Gongye is very strong, he's still quite a distance away from crossing the heavenly tribulation!" Xiao Ying's eyes suddenly flashed as she whispered to Madam Li.
"Miss, even though that's the case, and the logic is the same, I feel that why don't you personally invite that mysterious expert? If it succeeds, wouldn't that be the best case scenario? Even if he wants all of our wealth, it's fine too. It's better than Miss personally giving yourself to that Old Devil Ying Shan. As long as that mysterious expert is willing to help us, at least Miss doesn't have to marry that Old Devil Ying Shan anymore!" Xiao Mei's eyes suddenly flashed as she whispered to Madam Li.
"This … is there a possibility? I've thought about it before, but in the end, I felt that that mysterious expert has already fallen into a huge maelstrom of trouble. Furthermore, the moment he agreed to our request, not only would he have to deal with that Old Thief Gongye, he would also offend Old Devil Ying Shan. By then, even Old Devil Ying Shan would likely participate in this matter. Furthermore, the moment I go back on my words and no longer marry Old Devil Ying Shan, given that personality of Old Devil Ying Shan, he'll definitely make things difficult for our clan! If that's the case, we'll truly be consigned to eternal damnation! "Madam Li's tone was filled with helplessness.
"But Miss, even if that's the case, that Old Devil Ying Shan will definitely act for the sake of the immortal crystals. By then, he'll still stand on the opposite side of that mysterious expert! But the moment he agreed, Miss doesn't have to marry that Old Devil Ying Shan anymore. As for Yunnan's Old Devil Ying Shan, if he comes looking for trouble in the future, that's a matter for the future. Who knows, he might even be killed while fighting for the immortal crystals. But if Miss doesn't go and give it a try, one or two days later, you'll have to bring the wealth of the clan to meet Old Devil Yun Shan. That way, Old Devil Ying Shan will definitely hold the nuptial chamber with Miss on that very day. By then, it'll be too late for Miss to regret! "Xiao Mei was still slightly unwilling as she said.
"Furthermore, our Sky Wind City is considered to be slightly more remote. Even if experts from other cities rush over, it'll take a few days. By the time our Sky Rich City becomes utterly chaotic, it'll take at least seven to eight days or so. Old Devil Ying Shan definitely understands this point, and will definitely not allow Miss to drag on for seven to eight days!"
"This …" Madam Li was slightly hesitant.
But right at this moment, a servant suddenly ran over and shouted: "Miss, Miss, it's not good. That Old Thief Gongye has arrived ahead of time. He will arrive in at most half a day. The Patriarch asked you to hurry up and prepare. After that, he'll bring a generous gift to meet Old Devil Ying Shan and ask him to provide support!"
"Ah? That Old Thief Gongye has actually arrived so quickly? "This time, Madam Li and the two maidservants were both startled.
