Old Master Xia had not been able to sleep well for the past few months.
Nothing tasted good.
He calculated carefully and took every step as a chess piece. The situation was developing in the direction he was optimistic about.
At the critical moment, his grandson had disappeared.
The Xia family needed the Wu family's support. Without the Wu family, they were nothing. Relatively speaking, the Wu family had more choices to support a force.
Once the marriage was decided, it was a foregone conclusion.
It had been dragging on for so long that it had almost become a sore spot for Old Master Xia.
From the very beginning, it was because Xia Feng was not outstanding enough that he did not manage to get close to the Wu family.
After letting the Wu family meet their grandson, Xia Zhe, it would raise the Wu family's standards. It would be impossible for them to use Xia Feng to ask for marriage again.
Fortunately, Xia Zhe returned safely.
Master Xia was in high spirits. He looked at her carefully and found that she looked more handsome. He thought that the Wu family would be more satisfied.
Xia Zhe, who was originally a head shorter than him, was already standing in front of him.
"Child, where did you go?"
Master Xia sighed.""From the day you disappeared, I received news that the fourth master of the Li family, Li Bo, and a few martial servants also suddenly disappeared. I thought that something was wrong and was afraid that you had met them outside.”
"We did." Xia Zhe said.
"What?"
Master Xia was stunned. Wu Qingya was also listening attentively. Master Xia asked in confusion,""They didn't do anything to you, did they? However, according to the news, Li Bo and the others were still missing.”
"They want to kill me." Xia Zhe's words made everyone nervous.
Then, he said indifferently,"Then I killed them all."”
Hiss!
Gasps sounded.
"Nonsense, Li Bo and his capable men are both Gold rank martial artists!”Master Xia obviously didn't believe him.
"Young Master Xia, you must be telling the truth," Wu Qingya said.”
"Haha." Hearing Miss Wu speak to Xia Zhe, Old Master Xia stroked his beard and smiled brightly.
He didn't want to pursue the matter further. He wanted to give his grandson face.
The Wu family's steward blinked and remembered it in his heart. He wanted to report to the family head as soon as he returned.
Kill Li Bo.
This was a big deal!
After a few conversations, it was time for dinner. Wu Qingya didn't sit down because it wasn't appropriate.
She looked at Xia Zhe deeply before she left.
Her gaze was like a wife looking at her husband.
After dinner, Grandpa Xia coughed and pulled Xia Zhe to the study alone. He asked in a low voice,""Child, did you really kill Li Bo?”
"Yes." Xia Zhe looked calm.
Master Xia heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know if he should be happy or not.
He took two steps left and right and said,"The Wu family's family meeting is next month. Don't go out of the city casually these days." Grandpa will send someone to protect you secretly.”
" I'm not going to the Wu family meeting," Xia Zhe said.
Her abrupt words stunned Master Xia.
He was fuming.
"You didn't ask for my opinion the last time I went.”"I don't like Wu Qingya," Xia Zhe said.”
"You, do you know the importance of the marriage between the two families?”The old man berated.
"Of course it's important."
Xia Zhe sat down in front of the old man and took a sip of tea.""Even if I'm the most suitable age for the Xia family, she's not the only young lady in the Wu family.”
"Are you interested in Third Uncle Wu's daughter?”The old man glared.
"Yes." Xia Zhe agreed on purpose.
Master Xia also snorted."No, absolutely not."”
"This is my attitude. If Grandpa doesn't approve of it, I'll stay in the academy and not come out during the Wu family's general meeting.”Xia Zhe said.
The old man was furious.
He lowered his voice." Grandfather had already expected this. That's why Miss Wu came over today. Grandfather has discussed with her to help you manage the shop on the old street. From tomorrow onwards, you'll manage the shop together. After spending more time together, you'll naturally develop feelings for each other.”
Just as he was about to refuse, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Little brother, why don't you promise your grandfather that you'll try to get in touch with Miss Wu?" The girl laughed evilly.
Xia Zhe was speechless. Was the system trying to trick him again?
She knew that he had the task of stopping the marriage.
Wait!
He suddenly thought of something.
Xia Zhe's eyes shone with a bright light.
"Alright, then I'll listen to Grandpa and try to get along with her."”
The night sky dispersed.
Xia Zhe registered at Class 103 and left the east gate.
In front of him, a crowd was moving around.
The old street was changed into a new one.
Thousands of shops opened.
All sorts of activities and rehearsals.
The shops invited beautiful women to attract attention. Many of them were female students from the academy who came part-time to support the scene in order to earn money.
On the first street facing the school gate, there was a row of shops with their doors tightly shut, out of place.
When he walked in, a manager was wiping the tables and chairs. He quickly got up to greet Xia Zhe when he saw him.
It looked like it had already been decorated.
The layout is more ancient.
He could smell the scent of spiritual herbs and plants. It seemed that Master Xia had arranged the shop according to the layout of a spiritual medicine store when he was not around.
More than half of the 20 shops had been opened.
It made people feel that it was a big deal.
There must be good stuff
"Young Master, we were waiting for you to cut the ribbon.”As the manager spoke, he called the members in the corner over.
"There's no hurry. We'll talk about it when Miss Wu comes.”
"Miss Wu is already waiting for you inside.”
Xia Zhe's gaze fell on Fang Ya's cabinet. He was moved and walked in.
