Chapter 103 Li Tianba proposes marriage for Li Ruoling
All the people from Tianyuan Sect were dumbfounded on the spot.
Everyone looked at each other, with question marks on their faces.
No one would have thought that such a hidden master would actually be a money-grubber...
If they hadn't just seen him kill a Soul Origin Realm peak powerhouse in one move, they would definitely think that the person in front of them was a charlatan.
Shouldn't a hermit master behave like a hermit master?
Asking for money right away is so tacky...
This is what most people in Tianyuan Sect are thinking at this moment.
However, Li Tianba was worthy of being the leader of the Tianyuan Sect this time. As soon as he came to his senses, he immediately took off a storage ring from his hand and handed it to Wang Ergou with both hands: "Senior, in fact, you don't need to ask us, we also know what to do. There are more than 20,000 spirit stones in this storage ring. I hope you will accept it!"
When Li Tianba gave away such a large amount of spirit stones, his heart was actually bleeding.
This was the private money he had saved for many years.
However, he knew that giving away just over 20,000 spirit stones was absolutely worth it.
Because he remembered very clearly that the old man had said before, "Get your stinky claws off my apprentice's wife", which means that the old man obviously had taken a fancy to his daughter.
It is estimated that he intends to let his disciple marry his daughter. The 20,000 spirit stones can be regarded as an engagement gift. No matter how you calculate it, this is a big profit for their Tianyuan Sect.
If my father knew that I found such a good marriage for Ling'er, he would probably pass the position of sect leader to me as soon as I return, right?
At this moment, Li Tianba felt that he was already halfway to the position of sect leader that he had longed for.
"Hahaha, then I'll be honored to refuse it!" Wang Ergou happily put away the spirit stones, and used a spiritual power to check the spirit stones in the storage ring. He found that there were indeed more than 20,000.
He was immediately overjoyed: "Well, not bad, not bad, you are quite sensible."
"Hehe, I wonder what the senior meant by what he said before?" Li Tianba suddenly said with a wry smile.
"What?" Wang Ergou looked confused.
"It's the sentence 'Take your stinky claws off my apprentice's wife'. I wonder what the senior meant by saying this?" Li Tianba looked at Wang Ergou expectantly:
"Senior, do you have a male disciple of the same age as me? Do you like my daughter Ruoling? Do you want to match my daughter Ruoling with your disciple to become a Taoist couple?"
"Hmm?" Wang Ergou's brows frowned instantly.
"Dad..." At this moment, Li Ruoling, who was kneeling beside Li Tianba, hurriedly tugged at the corner of Li Tianba's clothes: "What are you doing?"
"You little girl, haven't you figured it out yet?" Li Tianba hurriedly used voice transmission to say to Li Ruoling, "This senior said that before, it must be because he saw that you are good-looking, plus you are the grandson of the leader of our Tianyuan Sect, he must want to help his disciple find a suitable Taoist partner, Ling'er, your blessing has come!"
"Dad, please stop matchmaking, okay? Ye Fei and I are already engaged, don't you know that?" Li Ruoling also replied via voice transmission.
"Hasn't your grandfather taken you to the Ye family to break off the engagement?" Li Tianba replied again using voice transmission:
"Don't you know why your grandfather took you to the Ye family to break off the engagement? Didn't he just want to help you find a good family that is worthy of you? Isn't this senior's disciple just the right one?
If you could marry this senior's disciple, our Tianyuan Sect's Li family might soon become a top family in the Wuyuan Star Region like the Feng family.
It is even possible that in the near future, our Li family will be able to become one of the top ten families in the Wuyuan Star Region like the Feng family!"
"Humph, I knew it. You said Ye Fei was not worthy of me, so you took me to the Ye family behind my great grandfather's back to force them to cancel the engagement. In fact, you just looked down on Ye Fei and his son for having no power in the Ye family. If you let me marry Ye Fei, you will get nothing.
To put it bluntly, you actually want to use me as a stepping stone for Tianyuan Sect to become a top sect, and you want to sell me as a deal.
You have never really considered me, no one has ever cared whether I am willing to break off the engagement, and no one has ever asked me if I want to get married now!"
"Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. This is a matter of course. Moreover, as the eldest daughter of the Tianyuan Sect, the family has spent so many resources on you to cultivate you. In the future, you will definitely marry into a wealthy and prestigious family and make your due contribution to the family. How can you decide whether you want to get married or not?" Li Tianba said coldly.
"Well, now that you say that, I have nothing to say!" Li Ruoling said contemptuously: "But why didn't anyone ask me if I was willing to cancel the engagement? My engagement with Ye Fei was decided by my great grandfather and Ye Fei's great grandfather. His great grandfather is dead, but mine is not. Did you get the consent of my great grandfather?"
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If I tell your great grandfather, he will definitely say that breaking off the engagement would be unfair to his former brother. Given his personality, will he agree?" Li Tianba said coldly:
"You are so outstanding, how can that loser Ye Fei be worthy of you? Do you really want to marry such a loser? Even if you are willing to embarrass that man, your grandfather and I, our Tianyuan Sect, cannot afford to embarrass him."
"If you just want to use me to make a deal with other family forces, I would rather marry Ye Fei!" Li Ruoling said coldly:
"At least, if I marry him, he will treat me sincerely. If I marry those rich boys, I will just become their plaything. When they get tired of playing with me, they will marry a second wife, a third wife... God knows how many concubines there will be after that!"
"Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" Li Yuanba replied coldly.
Just as Li Yuanba and Li Ruoling were arguing in secret, Wang Ergou suddenly asked tentatively, "Does your girl have a marriage contract?"
"No, no!" Li Tianba shook his head hurriedly.
"No!" Li Ruoling suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Senior, my father lied to you. In fact, I was engaged when I was very young. My fiancé is Ye Fei from the Ye family of Tianluo City!"
After Li Ruoling finished speaking, she glanced at Li Tianba and said, "Hmph..."
You want to use me to trade with others? No way!
I would rather marry that ugly bastard Ye Fei than let you succeed.
Alas, but he is really ugly, and useless, too...
If I could help him find the beauty pill, I wonder if he can still be saved?
“You…” Li Tianba’s face turned blue with anger. He hurriedly said to Wang Ergou, “Senior, don’t listen to her nonsense. In fact, my daughter has already gone to the Ye family to cancel the engagement!”
"Oh?" Wang Ergou was stunned. "Cancelled the engagement? That's a pity. I was just planning to choose an auspicious day to go to the Ye family and take Ye Fei as my apprentice."
Humph, you dare to look down on my apprentice?
Even though he is ugly and useless, he is my apprentice and I will not allow anyone to look down on him!
"What?" Li Ruoling was stunned: "How, how is this possible..."
The old man has such a high level of cultivation, how could a loser like Ye Fei be worthy of his attention?
“Ah?” Li Tianba was also stunned for a moment. He hurriedly changed his words: “Hehe, senior, but fortunately, it has not been withdrawn for the time being. The Ye family refused to withdraw, so the engagement certificate has not been taken back yet!”
"Really?" Wang Ergou frowned: "Are you telling the truth?"
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, really!” Li Tianba nodded repeatedly: “In fact, I have been optimistic about Ye Fei since he was a child. I know that this kid will definitely be something special in the future!
As for breaking off the engagement, I totally disagreed with it at the time.
But when my father learned that Ye Fei and his son had been expelled from the Ye family, he insisted on taking my daughter Ruoling to the Ye family to cancel the engagement. Fortunately, I informed the Ye family in time and asked them not to cancel the engagement, so the cancellation was not successful. "
Damn, luckily I reacted quickly.
"Dad?" Li Ruoling looked at Li Tianba with disdain.
Li Tianba immediately glared at Li Ruoling, signaling her to shut up. Then, he continued to say to Wang Ergou with a smile, "Haha, senior, look, isn't this a coincidence? You just want to find a wife for your apprentice, and my daughter just happens to be engaged to him! Haha, I didn't expect fate to be so wonderful!"
“Oh, what a pity…” Wang Ergou suddenly shook his head again: “I didn’t expect that they had been expelled from the Ye family. Since that boy is no longer a member of the Ye family, he is not worthy of me taking him in as my apprentice.
I wanted to take him in as my apprentice before, but it was only because of the Ye family’s wealth and their ability to afford the high tuition.
Since Ye Fei can't even afford the tuition now, why should I accept him as my disciple? I can't teach him for nothing!"
Li Tianba: "..."
Old man, are you fucking kidding me?
“I see!” Li Tianba’s eyes rolled around, and he immediately changed his words again: “Senior, if that’s the case, then it doesn’t matter. I will personally take my daughter to the Ye family to cancel the engagement.
I used to think highly of Ye Fei, but I didn't expect him to be so disappointing that he was kicked out of the Ye family. So this marriage must be cancelled. Senior, you must have other male disciples, right?"
"Senior, how much does it cost to learn from you?" Li Ruoling suddenly interrupted her father Li Tianba and said, "I'll pay for Ye Fei! Please tell me a number. When I leave the Demon Realm in three years, I will definitely find a way to help him raise the tuition."
"Oh?" Wang Ergou was surprised. "If you are willing to pay for his tuition, I would be happy to accept him as my disciple!"
Li Tianba: "..."
Old man, you always go back and forth like this, how can I explain it to you now?
