Chapter 170.2
“Mother.” But at that moment, a figure rushed in, ran up to Lin Hui, and called out very affectionately.
“Why did you come out?” Lin Hui was surprised when she saw Cheng Qi appear. Noticing that he was wearing a mask, she felt relieved and quickly pulled Cheng Qi to sit next to her.
“Xiao Qi heard that there were guests, so he wanted to come out and join in the fun.” Li Tianyan gently waved the folding fan and walked in calmly from outside.
He was wearing the navy-blue robe given to him by Mrs. Cheng. His long hair was tied up high with a jade crown. His breath was restrained, and his steps were slow; he looked a bit like a young man from an aristocratic family.
“Third sister-in-law, who are these two people?” Cheng Jingru, who had been silent until then, finally asked.
For some reason, the appearance of these two people gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression, even though they clearly didn’t have a trace of spiritual power on them; they were just two ordinary mortals.
“These are my shuanger and my son-in-law.” Lin Hui was angry and didn’t want to explain much. She didn’t even bother to introduce the guests to Cheng Qi and Li Tianyan.
Cheng Jingyuan thought they were her adopted shuanger and his husband; he frowned even more. His wife, Mrs. Feng, also looked dissatisfied and said, “If you still want to raise another child, the Cheng family has a lot of talented children for you to choose from. Look, I brought two here today. These two children just took the test and both have the qualifications of three spiritual roots.”
One of the two children was born from the second sister-in-law. Mrs. Nao quickly added, “Yes, yes, the children need to be raised from an early age to be knowledgeable. And look at these two boys; they are smart and well-qualified. When they grow up to ten years old, they can also be sent to the Immortal Sect for training.”
Li Tianyan raised his eyes and looked at the two boys. He didn’t notice how smart they were, but their arrogance almost overflowed from their rolled eyes. They clearly looked down on Cheng Yi and his wife.
Lin Hui did not tact this time and refused directly. “No, we can’t afford these two children. Sister-in-law, you’d better take them back. It’s enough for me to have Xiao Yu and Xiao Qi.”
If it weren’t for the fact that these two were mortals, several members of the Cheng family would have jumped up and objected. How could they tolerate an outsider coming to compete with them?
“Why don’t you talk about the serious matters you mentioned just now?” Li Tianyan waved his fan, walked to the seat opposite Cheng Yi, took a seat, and said to several people slowly.
“How can you, a junior, have the right to speak here? Third brother, what kind of people did you accept? One is wearing a mask and is definitely not visible to others, and the other is so old and has no manners.” Cheng Jingyuan snorted coldly, releasing his aura. The pressure of the ninth level of Qi Condensation filled the room.
Unfortunately, no one was affected. Even the servant who brought in tea walked past him as if nothing had happened. Li Tianyan picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, still content.
Mrs. Nao was reminded by him and couldn’t wait to say to Cheng Yi and his wife, “Yes, we are here today for a huge happy event. Master Mu of the Haoyue Immortal Sect is going to marry our Cheng Yu.”
“What?” Cheng Yi almost stood up when he heard this.
However, Mrs. Nao only thought that he was happy, so she continued, “Let me tell you, this Master Mu is the nephew of the Supreme Elder of the Haoyue Immortal Sect. This elder has no children and has always treated his nephew as his son. Now, he is also a foundation-establishment cultivator at a young age and will be promoted to sect elder in two years.”
After hearing this condition, everyone except Cheng Yi and the others became very excited. Mrs. Feng even said sourly, “Cheng Yu is also very lucky; Master Mu likes him.”
Master Mu looked down on her little daughter, but he fell in love with Cheng Yu. Ms. Feng had been depressed about this for a long time.
Li Tianyan never thought that the serious thing these people were talking about was to marry Cheng Yu out. Today was an eye-opener for him. Compared to the Jincheng branch, this direct lineage of the Cheng family was even more capable of disgusting people. It was hard for Cheng Yi and his wife to have such relatives.
Then Mrs. Nao said again, “Master Mu also said that he was willing to send away several concubines for Xiao Yu. From now on, Cheng Yu will be the only one in his backyard.”
“Second sister-in-law, are you joking?” Lin Hui was already shaking with anger and said through gritted teeth.
Cheng Qi was also shocked that these people actually wanted to marry Cheng Yu out casually.
“How can we joke about marriage? I know our Yu’er is very talented, but no matter how talented he is, he still has to marry. If he marries Master Mu, he will have the support of the Supreme Elder,” Mrs. Nao said.
“That’s right, that’s Elder of Core Formation stage. If something leaks out from between his fingers, it will be enough for you two to feed and clothe you for several lifetimes.” Mrs. Feng also chimed in.
“Have you collected a lot of good things from others?” Li Tianyan looked at several people. Both Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Nao had storage bracelets on their hands, and the rings on the thumbs of the Cheng brothers were also storage magic weapons.
Although the cultivation world was much stronger than the ordinary world, and storage magic weapons could be found everywhere, the average cultivators could only use storage bags. Rings and bracelets were only available to cultivators with a slight status in large sects. Even Cheng Yu had only an old ring.
Hearing Li Tianyan’s joking words, Mrs. Nao touched the bracelet on her hand and then smiled, saying, “The parents ordered the matchmaker, and the conditions from the Mu family are really good, so we made the final decision on his betrothal gift.” They had all been sent to Cheng Mansion.
Cheng Yi finally broke out, slamming the table and angrily yelling, “We are Xiao Yu’s parents! What kind of parents do you think you are? Have you ever asked my wife and I if we agree?”
Mrs. Nao was confused by his yelling. “Third brother, why are you so angry? Master Mu has such a good offer; you can’t even find it with a lantern, so we agreed.”
“Third brother, is this your attitude when talking to us? I am the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Yu’s eldest uncle, and the old lady also nodded her head. Why can’t I make the decision?” Cheng Jingyuan also said with a sigh.
“We wanted to consult our third brother, but you just happened to be out a few times,” Cheng Jingru added.
“That’s not an excuse for you to make your own decisions. Anyway, I won’t agree to this marriage. Xiao Yu will never marry someone like that,” Cheng Yi said firmly.
Apart from anything else, this man had several concubines before, and Cheng Yu would never marry such a person.
“The betrothal gift has been accepted, and the marriage certificate has been exchanged. The two of them are about to get married. If you say you don’t agree, how can you explain it to the Supreme Elder? Is it possible that you can still find someone to get the marriage certificate and the marriage certificate back?” Mrs. Nao said.
