C49 Conspiracy
“What?! This is impossible!” Xue Hai exclaimed.
It had only been a little more than a month since Ye Xuan had broken through to the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao. However, in this one month, Ye Xuan had consecutively jumped by eleven levels.
“How is this not possible? I saw Ye Xuan’s strength rise with my own eyes, and you don’t even know it, Father. Just now, Lianyun City sent a Strongman over and gave some pointers to the Old Master of the Lin Family. After that, the Old Master of the Lin Family directly broke through from the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Dao all the way to the ninth stage.” Xue Qingqing explained.
“This ?”
Xue Hai held his head, the amount of information in his hand was too much, he was unable to react at all.
“Furthermore, Ye Xuan was accepted by the Cloud Breaking Sect as a disciple, he is definitely worthy of me. If the City Lord comes for me later, just say so.” Xue Qingqing added.
Ye Xuan frowned, he had not even entered the Cloud Breaking Sect, how could he be accepted as a disciple by the Cloud Breaking Sect?
However, he quickly realized that he was taking advantage of this situation.
With his current aptitude, he would definitely be able to obtain the position of the head disciple of the Cloud Breaking Sect, and be accepted as a disciple by the Cloud Breaking Sect.
“Hahahaha!”
However, just as Xue Qingqing’s words fell, the Consecrate at the side suddenly laughed.
“Uncle, what are you laughing about?” Xue Qingqing asked, confused.
“Little girl, you can’t lie to us like this.” Chief Lian shook his head.
“Hmph, if you don’t believe me, go take a look at his cultivation realm.” Xue Qingqing pouted.
Master Lian shook his head and said, “Haha, what I’m talking about is not his realm. I can feel that this guy is already at the peak of the seventh stage of the Martial Dao. What I am saying is that it is impossible for him to be the disciple of the Cloud Breaking Sect s! ”
“Why not?” Xue Qingqing couldn’t understand, could it be that there was a loophole in this lie?
“Little girl, stop messing around, even Master Lian is the Cloud Breaking Sect’s mentor!” At this time, Xue Hai reminded him.
What?
Hearing this, both Xue Qingqing and Ye Xuan were startled, the person in front of them, was actually Cloud Breaking Sect’s instructor?
No wonder the lie was suddenly exposed, it turned out to be like this!
“Hmph, you were before, but now you aren’t.” Xue Qingqing said stubbornly.
“I have indeed already left the Cloud Breaking Sect, but I know that it is impossible for the Sect Master to take him in as a disciple, because the Sect Master is not here. Master Lian said with a smile.
Xue Qingqing was at a loss for words, and then quibbled craftily: “I was just talking about the vice Sect Master, I just didn’t make it clear.”
“Up to you, but since I’m the consecrate of the Xue Clan now, I can help you with this lie.” After all, he had accepted their money.
“Then thank you very much.” Xue Hai knew that Xue Qingqing was spouting nonsense, but impersonating him was no big deal. After all, with Ye Xuan’s talent, forget about Cloud Breaking Sect, even if he went to Sky Breaking Sect, he would probably attract the attention of Sect Master.
“It’s fine.” Master Lian said with a smile.
Sure enough, after a short while, another servant came in to report.
“Master, City Lord is here!”
Before he could finish speaking, a few figures walked in.
A strange look flashed across Xue Hai’s face, and he anxiously went forward, and said: “Greetings City Lord!”
This time, the Thousand Gold City Lord personally came. She was a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, looking quite handsome.
However, the young man behind him was as ugly as a pig. His eyes were bronze, his nostrils flared, and his mouth was wide open.
When Ye Xuan saw this person, his stomach started to churn, and Xue Qingqing did not dare look him in the eye, afraid that she would vomit out all the tea she just drank.
Needless to say, this was definitely the young City Lord s of the Thousand Gold City.
Ye Xuan was also very suspicious, how could some with good looks give birth to such an ugly son. Could it be that it was a problem with the female side?
“Xue Hai, General Chen said that you want to end the engagement?” Thousand Gold City Lord Zhang Lie went straight to the point.
Xue Hai’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, and nodded. “Yes.”
“No, since we’ve already agreed to this, how can we go back on our words?” If this marriage is annulled, how would the people of the world view me? ” Zhang Lie said somewhat angrily.
With his identity, finding a beautiful daughter-in-law for his son was simply too easy. If it were not for Xue Hai’s background, it would be useless even if Xue Qingqing was a heaven shocking person.
Right now, the most important thing was to lose face. A dignified City Lord like him actually had her marriage annulled by someone, this would definitely become a laughing stock in the world.
Xue Hai clenched his teeth, and without explaining anything, he said directly: “City Lord, I have prepared the double betrothal gift, I can send it to City Lord’s Mansion later!”
After hearing this, Zhang Lie could no longer hold it in and shouted loudly, “Xue Hai, how dare you! Are you playing with me?”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chief Reverend immediately stepped forward and protected Xue Hai by his side.
Zhang Lie frowned, he could feel that the person in front of him was not simple.
“Who are you?” Zhang Lie asked, a little afraid.
“Lian Yuan, the leader of the Xue Clan.” Master Lian replied indifferently.
“Hmph, I don’t care who you are. You just need to remember one thing, the Thousand Gold City at my feet is my, Zhang Lie’s, territory.” As Zhang Lie spoke, he turned his attention back to Xue Hai and said: “It’s fine if you want to break off the engagement, but it’s too simple if you want to return double the price of the betrothal gift. I want ten times!”
What?
Ten times!
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. The originally fifty million taels of silver betrothal gift was now five hundred million taels of silver, which was equivalent to five million taels of gold. This was an enormous number, even Xue Hai was not able to take it out in one go.
“City Lord, are you asking for death?” Xue Hai’s face sank. He could take out five hundred million, but it would be a terrifying sum to sell off the majority of his assets.
“If you want to break off the engagement, then take out a betrothal gift that’s tenfold, or else I won’t agree!” Zhang Lie said coldly.
Ye Xuan, who was in the back, could no longer sit still. He had also done similar things in the past, and he suddenly felt that his starting price was too low.
Zhang Lie asked for five hundred million silver, but he only had three million. The difference was too big.
One must know that in the Heaven & Earth Ring, any one of the items that Yu Jin took out exceeded that five hundred million.
“I lost out, if I had known earlier, I would have shouted a little more. Otherwise, I might have reached the ninth stage of the Martial Dao by now!” Ye Xuan was extremely regretful in his heart. He was still too young back then, and he was afraid that shouting out a high price would anger the Sky Origin Sect Protector.
Seeing Ye Xuan and Xue Qingqing walking over, Zhang Lie also spoke in a stern voice: “No wonder you want to end the engagement, so you actually ran away with this pretty boy. Brat, you even dare to hit my subordinates, have you grown tired of living?”
Previously, Commander Liu had already returned once, so this Zhang Lie also understood that there was a person like Ye Xuan here.
