The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 070

Chapter 070 There Has Been a Change in the Plan
Just as Li Qing was hiding in the Green Bamboo Garden and cultivating hard, some people from the Liu Clan began to carry out their plan.

In the hall, Father Liu, Second Uncle Liu, and some other heads of the Liu Clan gathered here and waited quietly.

They had already sent an eloquent person to the Wu Clan to inform them that Liu Ke’er had returned. They had asked them to come to propose marriage and cooperate in a play.

Right now, Father Liu and the others were gathered here, waiting for the results of this trip.

“Do you think the Wu Family will agree to cooperate with us in acting?” Father Liu was a little uneasy and asked.

“I think so. After all, if Liu Ke’er refuses to marry into the Wu Clan, they will lose face.” Second Uncle Liu said.

“Besides, Liu Ke’er is so outstanding. If the Wu family knew about the proud daughter of the heavens, they would probably be too happy. How could they not be willing to do so?”

“Yes.” Father Liu nodded, “When the time comes, the Wu Clan will come to propose marriage. You can perform better and don’t reveal any flaws.”

“Definitely!” Everyone swore an oath.

While they were talking, the person sent to the Wu Clan finally returned. This was a housekeeper with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked a little vulgar and was a shrewd person.

Everyone’s spirits lifted. Father Liu hurriedly asked, “Commander Sun, how is it going?”

Commander Sun’s expression was somewhat unsightly as he stammered, “The people from the Wu Clan said… they said…”

“What did they say? Don’t stutter, hurry up and say it!”

Manager Sun said with a bitter face, “They don’t want to come to propose marriage! They say they don’t want to recognize this marriage!”

“It can’t be?” Everyone’s expressions changed as they looked at each other.

“Do they not want to recognize this marriage? Or do they just not want to cooperate with us in acting?” Second Uncle Liu asked.

Commander Sun said, “I don’t want to recognize this marriage!”

“Uh, this” Everyone’s faces were a little embarrassed. They made a big fuss. The Wu Clan did not want to recognize this marriage at all. Instead, they were just worrying about it here.

The plan failed before it even started. They worked hard to plan this place, and now it looked like a joke.

Liu Ke’er was unwilling, and the Wu Family was also unwilling. What was the use of them jumping up and down in the middle? It was like playing with a monkey.

“The plan failed!” Father Liu sighed, “Forget it!”

“How could this be?” Second Uncle Liu felt confused and said unwillingly, “It can’t be that you didn’t explain yourself clearly, right?”

“I told you everything! I think my eloquence is not bad, but it’s not my fault.” Manager Sun said grievously.

“What did the Wu Family say?” Second Uncle Liu asked.

“When I told the Wu Clan’s Clan Master about this, he was expressionless and didn’t say anything. Instead, he sent someone to invite the Wu Clan’s Young Master over.”

“Young Master Wu? Is that the person who wants to marry Liu Ke’er? Speaking of which, what is the situation of this person? We have ignored him.” Second Uncle Liu asked.

They weren’t prepared well in advance, didn’t understand the situation of the Wu Clan, and didn’t even know who they were related to.

Commander Sun said, “Speaking of this young master of the Wu Clan, he is truly amazing. His name is Wu Tianzhuo. He joined the Tai Hao Sword Sect’s high school sword many years ago and has never returned home. He is rather similar to Miss Ke’er’s experience.”

“Then why is he at home now?”

‘”This is a coincidence. I heard that he was able to go home because he followed the elders of the sect to participate in the auction in Divine Wind City a while ago. He happened to pass by Cloud Continent City when he returned. Now that his strength has reached the ninth level of the Houtian realm, he is very arrogant and doesn’t even care about me.”

‘”He is a young hero. He must be someone with a higher goal than the top. Then why is he refusing to marry Liu Ke’er? Didn’t you tell him how outstanding Ke’er is? She is already at the tenth level of the Houtian Realm at a young age. She has joined the Eight Desolates Sect. Is her future limitless?”

“I told him, I told him everything, but he doesn’t believe me!”

“You don’t believe me?” Everyone was stunned and felt that it was somewhat ridiculous.

“Why doesn’t he believe it?”

“Because he is too arrogant. He doesn’t believe that there are people in this world who are even more talented than him. Furthermore, he is a woman!”

Everyone didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. They didn’t expect the problem to appear at this stage. Thinking about it, Liu Ke’er was indeed too talented. She was the same age as Wu Tian Zhuo, but he was only at the ninth level of the Houtian realm, while she was already at the tenth level of the Houtian realm.

Even in large sects, reaching the tenth level of the Houtian realm before the age of thirty was already very impressive. However, Liu Ke’er had already reached the age of twenty-five. This was simply a freak.

No wonder Wu Tianzhuo didn’t believe it, or rather didn’t want to believe it. The more arrogant a person was, the more he would not believe that someone even better than him existed.

Second Uncle Liu said thoughtfully, “Looks like this person is the one to blame. If you don’t convince this person, the marriage won’t end. Did you tell him that Ke’er is very beautiful?”

Manager Sun said, “I also said it, but he still doesn’t believe it. He said that Liu Ke’er is so strong and can be so beautiful. How could there be such a perfect woman in the world?”

“I don’t believe it!” Everyone was speechless.

“I understand. Seeing is believing, but hearing is false. If he doesn’t believe, then let’s find a way to convince him!” Second Uncle Liu’s eyes were deep and he came up with a solution, “This is easy to solve. Then find a time to let the two of them meet. As long as we meet, Wu Tianzhuo will know that what we said is true. Therefore, this matter can be saved. Everyone, don’t give up easily.”

“That makes sense.” Everyone agreed. At this point in time, they couldn’t give up so easily. Otherwise, what they did would be a joke.

“Then, what good opportunity do you have for the two of us to meet? If we do it too clearly, with Liu Ke’er’s intelligence, we might soon discover a flaw.” Questions were raised.

“This is quite troublesome.” Second Uncle Liu was also a little worried. The point of this plan was not to make Liu Ke’er suspicious. Otherwise, the bitter scenes would not work, so how could she willingly marry into the Wu Clan?

“Sigh, it’s really troublesome. It’s all my fault for spoiling her since she was young. Now that her strength has become stronger, we can’t force her.” Father Liu said in frustration.

Liu Ke’er might become the pillar of the Liu Clan’s new generation in the future, so they naturally didn’t dare to go too far.

“Oh, right, didn’t we receive an invitation?” Someone suddenly said.

“That’s right, that invitation! Next month is the twentieth birthday of Yun Zhou City Lord’s favorite daughter. Isn’t it a good opportunity to invite us to participate?” Second Uncle Liu came to his senses.

“Good idea! This is simply perfect. What a coincidence. Heaven help me!” Everyone said.

Father Liu also nodded, “Alright, then I’ll bring Li Qing and Liu Ke’er to the banquet. I’m sure the Wu family’s young master won’t be absent. At that time, the two of them will definitely be able to meet.”

In order to facilitate the marriage between the two families, they had also hollowed out their thoughts and persevered.

After the discussion was settled, everyone left contentedly.

…

Li Qing was cultivating in the Green Bamboo Garden when he suddenly received a report from a servant that he was invited to the Green Willow Garden for dinner with the Liu family.

To be honest, Li Qing wasn’t too willing to eat with the Liu Family’s relatives because it was too troublesome. All sorts of complicated rules couldn’t allow people to eat properly.

Every time he went to a dinner party, he didn’t feel full.

However, he couldn’t refuse someone else’s invitation. Otherwise, it would be too rude.

In the evening, he arrived at Green Willow Garden on time.

There was a green willow lake in the garden. There was a row of willow trees by the lake. Behind the willow trees was a magnificent building.

Li Qing walked into the building and saw that there was already a small table inside. There weren’t many people. Apart from Father Liu, Mother Liu and Liu Ke’er, there were also Second Uncle Liu and a few others who were closer to him.

This was just a normal dinner party. There was no special meaning in having dinner with relatives.

Father Liu revealed a gentle smile and said, “Li Qing is here? Just sit down.”

Li Qing casually sat beside Liu Ke’er.

The dishes were quickly served by the servants. Everyone enjoyed eating while chatting. If they didn’t know that Father Liu and Second Uncle Liu had a ghost in their heart, they would only feel like they were a family.

During that time, Father Liu casually said, “Li Qing, Ke’er, next month is the twentieth birthday of the youngest daughter of the City Lord of Yunzhou. You two can come with me to the banquet.”

“The twentieth birthday of Yun Zhou City Lord’s favorite daughter?” Li Qing muttered. He didn’t take it to heart and shook his head. “I don’t like to attend such a banquet. It doesn’t mean much to me, so I won’t go.”

“Oh? Are you not going?” Father Liu and Second Uncle Liu were both stunned. Why didn’t this fellow play his cards according to common sense? What a martial idiot, he doesn’t understand a single favor accident!

Thinking of this, Li Qing’s performance made Father Liu even more disappointed and strengthened his determination to separate the two of them.

“Since Li Qing is not going, I don’t want to go either. This banquet is meaningless. It’s better to accompany mother at home.” Liu Ke’er also refused.

Father Liu and Second Uncle Liu exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that these two fellows must have colluded in advance, right?

Second Uncle Liu said with a displeased expression, “Impudent, what’s going on between you two? It’s too rude to reject both of you, isn’t it?”

Li Qing was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Second Uncle Liu to have such a big reaction. He asked, “Do you have to participate?”

“This is the best way to participate.” Second Uncle Liu also felt that his reaction was a little too big. He explained, “You are the most outstanding juniors of the Liu Clan. When the time comes, you will definitely be able to shine brightly when you attend the banquet. Our Liu Clan’s face will also be lit up.”

“I really can’t help it. There are too many fetters in this world.” Li Qing couldn’t help but smile bitterly. With that said, it would be hard to refuse, so he nodded and said, “Alright then, I will definitely participate.”

In any case, it was just a small matter, so there was no need to entangle himself with it.

Father Liu and Second Uncle Liu revealed happy expressions as they smiled and nodded, “It’s settled like this.”

Li Qing’s heart suddenly stirred and he couldn’t help but ask, “I wonder if there is such a thing as white chalcedony in the Liu Manor?”
