Xiao Ran was stunned, and his grip on the dagger tightened. There was a group of people standing at the door! The leader of the group was about to knock on the door when the short sword had already arrived in front of his face without leaving a trace! Seeing who it was, Xiao Ran slowly withdrew his short sword and took two steps back. He lowered his head and said,"Father…"
The group of people was silent. A middle-aged man walked out from behind the person knocking on the door and pushed him behind him. The person panted heavily and grabbed the person beside him. He tugged at the person's clothes and said," I'm still alive…" He fainted!
The middle-aged man walked in front of Xiao Ran and said in a neither cold nor warm manner,"So you still know that I'm your father! I thought you had already abandoned your family!”
Xiao Ran immediately knelt down.”
"You don't dare? You even dared to run away from the wedding, what else do you not dare to do? If you leave now, wouldn't it be the same as pushing your father, the fifty-two people of the Xiao Family, and the Jiangnan Water Transport to the position of public enemy of the martial arts world?”
"No, how could he be the public enemy of the martial arts world!”
"My daughter, do you know the influence of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan in the martial arts world? Going against the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, wasn't that going against the martial arts world? I, Xiao Yi, can't afford to offend you!" The more Old Master Xiao spoke, the more excited he became.
"Father, even if you want to solve the water transportation problem in Min-Zhe, you don't have to marry into the Ouyang family!”
"What is it? Could he solve the problem of the water transport in Min-Zhe by not marrying into the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan? Who do you think you are! It's precisely because we are helpless that we have to resort to this method!”
Xiao Ran said angrily,"Since ancient times, men's careers have always relied on women to maintain stability and rise step by step!" In the Han Dynasty, there was a marriage alliance between the Xiongnu, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a marriage between Wencheng and the West, and in the Song Dynasty, there was a marriage between Zhaojun and the frontier fortress. If a man left a woman, could he not achieve his own career?”
"Bastard!" The slap landed on Xiao Ran's cheek, and it instantly turned red and swollen. Xiao Ran fell to the ground and gritted his teeth. Without making a sound, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Fourth Young Master Ouyang doesn't want to marry a wife! He must be thinking of something else! You still want to give your daughter to him?" Xiao Ran held back his tears and asked.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said helplessly,"Father also knows that people like us can't climb up to the top. However, even if we become concubines, it's still better than becoming enemies with the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan!”
Let alone being a concubine, Ouyang Chengfeng probably had ulterior motives! Xiao Ran did not say this. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly stood up from the ground and said indifferently,"I will help you settle the Min-Zhe Water Transport matter, but the marriage of the Ouyang family is now over. I am the one who broke off the marriage, and I am also the one who is unwilling to marry him. Ouyang Chengfeng is a man, so he came to me directly. If he really blamed this debt on the Xiao family and the Jiangnan Water Transport, I will definitely make him restless!”She had already heard some news about the water transport from Fujian and Zhejiang. She had originally planned to go south and meet with the Cloud Returning Hall. If it really didn't work, she would use force to resolve it and put an end to this matter!
Xiao Yi looked at his daughter in disbelief. Was she still that obedient and docile girl? It had been more than a month since they last met. How could there be such a huge change? "You…you said you would help me solve the water transport problem in Fujian and Zhejiang?”He did not dare to deny all of her words. Just looking at what happened at the door was enough to shock him. His girl was at most a naive girl who had learned a few moves of the Blue Wave Sword Technique. If she were to walk in the martial arts world, she would not even be able to protect herself! However, from what he saw today, his daughter might be able to join the ranks of martial arts experts! What kind of fortuitous encounter did she have in the past month?
"Yes, so please don't f * ck me again!”
"But…the wedding date is approaching. When the Ouyang family's bridal sedan enters, who should I let on the sedan?”Xiao Yi said anxiously.
"I'll go back with you and personally break off the engagement with Ouyang Chengfeng! Father, this isn't just a happy occasion! "It's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided…" His eyes were filled with determination, but also indifference. Was this still the girl who was waiting to be married?
You Yi walked out of the house and put a cloak on Xiao Ran. She took out her silk handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the uninvited guest in the courtyard and asked Xiao Ran,"I'll help you pack your things, but…should we go south first or go to the Ouyang family to cancel the engagement?”
Xiao Ran looked at her and pondered for a moment before slowly saying,"The cause of the engagement was Yun Gui Tang's provocation. It's time for the information we've heard these days to come in handy! After solving this problem, we can no longer be controlled by the Ouyang family. Then, we can propose to cancel the engagement. We will naturally have more confidence!”
