Chapter 935 This Young Master Is Not a Garbage Recycling Station
"Mother, please calm down." Ximen Yinshuang supported Sima Lan's trembling arm at the right time. Her apricot eyes were filled with tears, and her pitiful appearance made many guests feel sorry for her.
But no one noticed that a sinister look flashed under her drooping eyelashes, and her nails dug deeply into Sima Lan's palm, silently conveying a warning.
This birthday party was something she had planned for a long time, and she would never let Sima Lan ruin it.
Su Yi, however, seemed unaware of the tense situation in the hall. He slowly turned the glass cup in his hand. The amber wine in the cup rippled, reflecting the coldness in his eyes.
"I am just telling the truth." He raised his eyes, and his gaze swept across everyone like cold stars, finally landing on Ximen Lie's stiff face.
At this time, Liao Wanbo, who was sitting next to him, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The moment he put down the teacup, a barely perceptible sneer flashed across his lips and disappeared in an instant.
In fact, Liao Wanbo had already investigated the Ximen family and was well aware of the family's situation.
He knew that Ximen Yinshuang was not born to Ximen Lie's wife, but was the daughter of his concubine Sima Lan.
Not only that, Ximen Yinshuang was born weak and sickly, which was far from the legendary pure yin body.
The one who truly possesses a pure yin body is Ximen Li, who has been missing from the Ximen family for a long time.
Liao Wanbo thought to himself, if it weren’t for the fact that Ximen Yinshuang was deeply loved by Ximen Lie and Ximen Li’s whereabouts were unknown.
He had probably already put his plan into action - making Ximen Yinshuang his wife and Ximen Li his concubine.
After all, practicing dual cultivation with Ximen Li would greatly increase his cultivation speed.
As for the news that Su Yi had an extremely yang body, Liao Wanbo had naturally heard about it.
It is also well known to everyone, and he knows in his heart that this was just leaked intentionally by someone with ulterior motives.
If Su Yi was not the young master of Tianyan Sect and had not been protected by the sect's leader Ji Qingxu, he would have probably become the cauldron of those old monsters and been squeezed dry of all his essence.
"Young Master Su, you are wrong!" Ximen Lie suppressed his anger, but his voice was trembling, "Yin Shuang is indeed a rare body of extreme yin."
"It's just...it's just because of her special physique that she appears a little weak."
"Really?" Su Yi sneered, "Then why not ask Miss Ximen to demonstrate the characteristics of a pure Yin body on the spot - how about condensing Yin energy into reality? If you can really do it, this young master will immediately agree to this marriage."
Upon hearing this, Ximen Yinshuang's face turned even paler and her body trembled slightly.
She secretly groaned in her heart, how could she have a very yin body?
This was just a lie made up by my father in order to curry favor with the Tianyan Sect.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, as if time had stood still.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ximen Yinshuang, waiting for her response.
A layer of fine beads of sweat also seeped out of Ximen Lie's forehead.
Obviously, he had never expected that Su Yi would expose his lies so directly.
"Humph!" In this suffocating silence, Sima Lan suddenly shouted angrily, "Young Master Su is so arrogant!"
"My Ximen family is a prestigious family after all. We have already given you enough face by taking the initiative to propose marriage. How dare you be so ungrateful!"
Sima Lan stared at Su Yi. This Su Yi was really stubborn and embarrassed them time and time again.
Seeing this, Su Chenyin gently put down the teacup in her hand, her voice gentle but with a chill that could not be ignored:
"Mrs. Ximen, you are wrong. Marriage is about mutual consent. A forced marriage is not a happy one. You should understand this."
Su Chenyin raised her head and stared at Sima Lan with her beautiful eyes.
"You!" Sima Lan glared at Su Chenyin in anger.
However, when her eyes met the girl's, she was suddenly frozen in place by an invisible force, unable to move.
The girl had a face as rosy as a peach, eyebrows and eyes as picturesque, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised as if smiling.
But those eyes were as cold as a frozen pond, revealing a hint of chilliness that made her shudder and her heart tremble.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Madam Ximen quickly slammed the table hard to attract everyone's attention.
She shouted angrily, "That's enough! Today is Shuang'er's birthday, this is not the place for you to quarrel!"
Her cloudy old eyes swept over Su Chenyin and Su Yi, and her voice was gloomy, "You two youngsters don't know etiquette, I won't bother with you today."
"But marriage is a major matter that concerns the interests of both families. It is not something that you children can decide!" She looked at Su Chenyin with deliberate intent.
Hearing the reprimand from Old Madam Ximen, the smile on Su Chenyin's lips did not fade, but became even brighter.
She picked up the wine glass and looked at Old Madam Ximen with a half-smile: "Old Madam Ximen said it well. Chen Yin offers you a toast and wishes you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."
She deliberately emphasized the words "live as long as the Southern Mountains" and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Old Madam Ximen snorted coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied with Su Chenyin's attitude.
But due to the occasion today, she couldn't get too angry and could only reluctantly pick up the wine glass and take a symbolic sip.
Just as she raised her head to drink, the corners of Su Chenyin's mouth rose up imperceptibly.
She flicked her fingertips lightly, and the "Ten Days Soul-breaking Powder" fell silently into the old lady's wine glass.
Ximen Lie's face darkened slightly, and he looked at Su Yi and said coldly: "Young Master Su, you have to think it through. Marrying into my Ximen family will bring you hundreds of benefits and no harm."
"As long as you accept this marriage, my Ximen family will support you in this vast Yueya Continent and ensure that everything goes smoothly for you."
There was a hint of coercion and inducement in his voice——
It seemed as if he was showing off the Ximen family's great power and influence to Su Yi, trying to make Su Yi succumb under such pressure.
The atmosphere in the entire hall became more solemn and depressing because of Ximen Lie's words.
Su Yi looked directly at Ximen Lie and responded firmly: "This young master has thought very clearly. This young master does not need the support of your Ximen family."
"It is enough for this young master to have the Tianyan Sect. It is my most powerful backing!"
"Besides, marriage is a big deal, how can it be a joke? It requires mutual consent and affection. This young master already has someone in his heart, and she is the one I really want to spend my life with."
"As for your daughter Ximen Yinshuang, to me, she is just a stranger whom I have only met once."
"I am not a casual person, nor am I a garbage recycling station. I will not accept any garbage casually. If you force someone on me like this, I will only feel extremely disgusted!"
Su Yi was not afraid at all, his voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the hall like a huge bell.
His words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, and the whole hall fell silent in an instant.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and no one dared to make a sound.
Everyone was shocked by Su Yi's tough attitude and looked at him in amazement.
