Chapter 148
Yin Yuehua raised her eyebrows, nodded with satisfaction, and said,"Son, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of awareness."
"I was negligent in this matter, but don't worry, I will immediately send someone to investigate the news of the two sisters."
""If they're alive, I want to see them in person; if they're dead, I want to see their bodies."
Gu Yun nodded, but he was still a little worried.
In three years, he didn't know what level of masters the two sisters had grown into.
Just when he was stunned, Yin Yuehua suddenly said,"By the way, there's one more thing. Did your father tell you?"
"In fact, I have arranged a marriage for my child."
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, looked at his mother, nodded, and said,"I heard"
"But what is the specific situation?"
Yin Yuehua sighed and said helplessly:"Originally, I was a close friend of the child's mother, and her mother's family is also a prominent family in Dongzhou."
"Moreover, the child was a rare genius who appeared only once in a thousand years. He was born with strange phenomena."
"I just thought about arranging this marriage for you."
"But who knew that her mother was killed and missing, her family's masters were also assassinated, and the child's cultivation seemed to have encountered some problems, and she has been stuck in the seventh level for so many years and has not made any progress."
"I see you brought quite a few girls this time. Not only are they good-looking, but they are also very talented."
"I was thinking, should I cancel your marriage?"
"If you hadn't come over these few days, I would have sent someone to talk to that family."
Cancel the engagement?
Gu Yun's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. After thinking for a moment, he asked,"What's the surname of the family I'm engaged to?"
Yin Yuehua looked strange and said,"She took her mother's surname, Xiao, what's wrong with that?"
Go to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement?
This sounds like an extremely risky thing.
Gu Yun immediately said,"Mother, since this matter is related to me, why don't I go there in person?"
"Whether to withdraw or stay, I have the final say, how about it?"
Yin Yuehua laughed and said,"Of course, no problem"
"Apart from anything else, the daughter of the Xiao family is indeed very pretty. If you like her, you can keep her as a maid, but you must not take her as your principal wife."
"Men, even if they are powerful men, still need to find a wife who is more powerful."
Gu Yun smiled.
His mother said it lightly. A force that was once on par with the East Emperor Holy Land.
One move and you let your original fiancée be a maid, which is more humiliating than directly breaking off the engagement!
However, Gu Yun has his own plans.
He still has to go to the Xiao family in person.
Half a day later, Gu Yun came to the Xiao family in the East Emperor Holy Land, and the Xiao family also knew about it.
In the hall of the Xiao family, the Xiao family gathered together.
"Have you heard that Yin Yuehua's son has returned from the underworld?"
"Humph, of course there is! The Donghuang Holy Land had already released the news about this matter a long time ago, and also said that the boy named Gu Yun was extremely talented. Although he was in the lower realm, he used the means of thunder tribulation to achieve sainthood!"
"Yin Yuehua hinted to many big families and people from the Holy Land that she could send talented girls of similar age to her son to marry."
"She did this because she totally ignored our Xiao family."
"Alas, people are gone and the tea is cold. Since the death of several ancestors, not only the Donghuang Holy Land, but other forces have also begun to ignore us."
"How can it be the same? How many resources did the East Emperor Holy Land take from us before?"
While everyone was indignant, in the corner, a girl with long black hair and wearing a tight white martial arts uniform was a little absent-minded.
Gu Yun?
That's the one who has been engaged to me since childhood! As the most popular young generation in the Xiao family.
Xiao Yan'er's heart at this moment was extremely bleak.
Once upon a time, she was unparalleled in beauty and gifted like a god.
How many big families or holy land sects sent people to make a marriage contract with her.
Unfortunately, the Xiao family never agreed.
Until the Holy Mother of the East Emperor Holy Land, Yin Yuehua, came in person.
Because she had a good relationship with her mother, this marriage was settled.
But now, her mother has died and her whereabouts are unknown.
The ancestors of the Xiao family have also died one after another, and the strength of the Xiao family has plummeted.
She has lost her former style and is only a seventh-grade martial artist.
Under such circumstances, who would care about the marriage contract of the year?
Just when Xiao Yan'er was helpless and sad, the voice of a young man next to her rang
"Yan'er, it seems that you have to be mentally prepared. With the way the Donghuang Holy Land is acting, I'm afraid it won't be long before they come to our Xiao family to cancel the engagement."
Xiao Yan'er was stunned and looked up subconsciously.
The person who spoke was none other than Brother Xiao Xun, who grew up with her and took good care of her even though she was no longer a genius.
Xiao Xun was not actually from the Xiao family, but had been fostered in the Xiao family since he was a child.
Except for Xiao Yan'er's mother who once said that Xiao Xun was the son of an old friend.
No one else knew Xiao Xun's origins.
Moreover, Xiao Xun's talent since childhood was not inferior to Xiao Yan'er.
Coming back to her senses, Xiao Yan'er smiled bitterly. Although she had thought of this possibility in her heart, she still had a glimmer of fantasy about Yin Yuehua. She couldn't help but say,"Aunt Yin has always been very good to me, and she is also a good friend of my mother. She shouldn't do things so drastically!"
Xiao Xun sneered and immediately said,"Sister Yan'er, don't be silly"
"Do you think you are still the top genius Xiao Yan'er?"
"Now, if I hadn’t protected you in the Xiao family, who would take you seriously?"
"After Aunt Xiao disappeared, you even lost your backing. How could the East Emperor Holy Land consider you as its future daughter-in-law?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan'er lost her confidence, lowered her head slightly, and bit her lower lip.
Indeed, what Xiao Xun said was the truth.
How glorious she was in the Xiao family, how embarrassed she is now.
However, these words were said by the person she trusted the most, and she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
At this time, Xiao Xun patted her on the shoulder, changed the subject, smiled and said:"Although what I said is unpleasant, this is the fact"
"But, Yan'er, don't worry."
"Even if everyone dislikes you and looks down on you, I won't. I will always be by your side."
Xiao Yan'er was stunned, and looked at Xiao Xun with mixed feelings.
She was indeed touched that Xiao Xun could do this.
But for some reason, he always belittled himself like this every time he spoke, which always made people uncomfortable.
Is it really that my self-esteem is too strong?
After all, what Xiao Xun said was indeed right.
Seeing that Xiao Yan'er didn't speak, Xiao Xun raised the corner of his mouth, slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Xiao Yan'er's hand, and said proudly:
"Yan'er, you have to understand that now no one wants you except me."
"No matter how beautiful you are, you are just a pretty vase, and no one will be sincere to you."
Xiao Yan'er felt even more uncomfortable, but at this moment, she seemed to give up the struggle.
She slowly lowered her head, and actually began to agree with Xiao Xun's words.
Seeing that Xiao Xun's hand was about to fall into Xiao Yan'er's hand.
At this time, the servant of the Xiao family suddenly hurried in and said,"Elder, someone from the Donghuang Holy Land is coming."
"Moreover, the Holy Son of Donghuang Holy Land, Gu Yun, came in person!"
