The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 081
Chapter 081 The Wu Clan Came to Visit
The next morning, Li Qing woke up from his shock. He suddenly sat up and found himself naked.
Turning his head, he saw that the souls of the undead could not help but appear. The person sleeping beside him was actually Zhou Jintong! More importantly, she was also unable to feel any strands of her body.
Although some important parts were covered by blankets, one could still see the spring light at first glance.
At this moment, she was closing her eyes, as if she was sleeping soundly.
Li Qing swallowed his saliva and restrained his desire. He didn’t dare to look any further. He quickly got up and picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.
“Are you awake?” Behind him, a soft voice suddenly sounded.
Li Qing’s entire body stiffened. He turned his head to take a look and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It turned out that Zhou Jintong had already leaned over, and the quilt on his body had inadvertently slipped off, revealing a beautiful and delicate body.
However, she didn’t care at all. She allowed Li Qing to see enough and said gently, “Is my body beautiful? It’s still early, do you want to send another shot?”
These words came from the mouth of a beautiful woman. It was so tempting that Li Qing almost couldn’t control it.
He bit his tongue and his mind instantly regained consciousness.
He suddenly remembered Liu Ke’er, who was waiting at home. He couldn’t help but tremble and forget all his desires. He quickly put on his clothes and asked, “Did anything happen to us last night?”
“What do you say?” She smiled faintly.
Li Qing shook his head and said, “I fainted yesterday. You alone can’t have any relationship. Don’t think that I don’t know anything! You can’t fool me.”
“You’re saying that because you don’t want to be responsible?”
Li Qing took a deep breath and pondered for a while. He straightened out his thoughts and calmly said, “What responsibility do I have to take? Let alone that we didn’t have any sex at all. Even if we did, it’s still your fault. I’m the victim!”
“I didn’t expect you to be such a person. You’re a bastard!” Zhou Jintong scolded.
Li Qing was ruthless and said coldly, “I said before, these methods are useless to me! Goodbye!”
Without turning his head, he immediately left.
Zhou Jintong hatefully patted the bed a few times. Seeing Li Qing’s departing figure, tears couldn’t help but flow out of her eyes.
…
Li Qing hurriedly returned to the Liu Manor.
After arriving at the bamboo garden and passing through the bamboo forest, one could see Liu Ke’er sitting alone in front of the bamboo house, hugging her knees, waiting for someone to return.
“Ke Er” Li Qing shouted softly.
When Liu Ke’er heard the voice, she immediately raised her head and revealed a surprised expression. She rushed over and fell into Li Qing’s embrace.
“Why have you been gone for so long? I’m worried about you.”
“Let’s talk about it when we get back to the house.”
“Yes.”
Thus, they returned to the bamboo house. After sitting down, Li Qing began to tell the story of his trip.
“I thought it was the City Lord who told me to go to the Zhou Manor this time, but I found out that I was cheated when I went there.”
“Ah? What’s going on?” Liu Ke’er’s eyes widened.
“It was Zhou Jintong who lied to me in the name of her father,” Li Qing said.
“Then what happened afterwards?” She asked.
“Afterwards” Li Qing hesitated for a moment. Looking at Liu Ke’er’s sincere gaze, he gritted his teeth and decided to confess and tell her what happened last night.
He did not conceal anything, narrating everything in detail.
To Li Qing’s surprise, after hearing about this matter, Liu Ke’er did not seem to be too angry.
“Aren’t you jealous?” Li Qing said carefully.
“You know what? Last night, Zhou Jintong sent someone over and said that she would spend the Spring Festival with you, so I was mentally prepared.” She smiled faintly and said calmly, “Although I’m a little jealous, I didn’t get too angry when I thought that you weren’t the one to blame. I’m very happy that you took the initiative to tell me about this. It means that you won’t lie to me.”
“How dare you send someone over? It’s really sinister.” Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, “If I were to hide the truth from you today, you would have doubts about me and our relationship would crack. That way, she would be able to take advantage of the void and enter.”
“That’s right. That’s why I can’t be angry. Otherwise, I’ll fall for her trick.” Liu Ke’er nodded, “However, it is also because of this that our love has withstood the test and become even stronger, isn’t it?”
“There’s actually such an advantage?” Li Qing smiled.
“Speaking of which, you were knocked unconscious last night. Did the two of you really have sex?” Liu Ke’er was a little curious.
Li Qing shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Logically speaking, I have fainted. It’s impossible for her to have a relationship by herself. At least I don’t feel anything at all.”
She asked, “What if you do have sex? What if she wants you to do it?”
“I won’t be responsible.” Li Qing said resolutely.
“Why?”
“Because I am the victim, why should I be responsible? Could it be that just because she is a woman, she can commit a crime without restraint?”
Liu Ke’er was stunned for a moment and chuckled, “Your viewpoint is novel. It tastes like all living beings are equal. I’m sure Zhou Jintong will be disappointed. I didn’t expect to encounter such an unenlightened elm head like you.”
“I’m just a martial artist. All I want is to have a clear mind and be at ease. I don’t care about the etiquette and ideas in this world.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, hugging each other tightly. He did not care about what had happened yesterday.
…
Suddenly, a servant came to report that people from the Wu Clan had come to propose marriage.
“Propose marriage?” Both of them were shocked. These few days, everything was really not going well. Li Qing was entangled by Zhou Jintong, while Liu Ke’er was entangled by Wu Tianzhuo.
“The test has come again. Let’s go and take a look.” Li Qing said helplessly.
The two of them arrived at the main hall. At this moment, there were already many people standing here.
From afar, the Wu Clan’s Clan Master did not personally come, but Wu Tianzhuo did. Beside him, there were two older elders supporting him. Behind him was a group of guards and servants.
On the other side, there were people from the Liu Clan. The higher-ups were all here. Facing this group of people from the Wu Clan, they seemed to be a little nervous.
“Tianzhuo, I’m also in a difficult situation. What can I do if my daughter refuses to marry into the Wu Clan? It’s impossible for me to force her to marry into the Wu Clan, right? So, let’s just forget about this marriage and pretend that nothing happened, okay?” Father Liu said.
“No, we can’t just let it go!” Wu Tianzhuo flatly refused, “What does it have to do with me if you refuse to make things difficult for your daughter? What I want is the result. Now that your Liu Clan has broken their agreement, of course I will come to seek justice.”
“Then tell me, what do you want to do?” Father Liu felt a little helpless.
Wu Tianzhuo sneered and said, “I don’t plan to do anything. I just want Liu Ke’er! There’s no need to discuss this matter!”
“It’s impossible for me to marry into the Wu Clan. There’s no need to discuss this matter!” Liu Ke’er walked in with a face full of anger and said sternly, “I’ll make my own decisions about my marriage. What’s the point of forcing my father like this?”
When Wu Tianzhuo saw Liu Ke’er, his eyes lit up and he said gently, “Miss Ke’er, are you here?”
Liu Ke’er put her head aside and ignored him.
Wu Tianzhuo was a little embarrassed and said, “What you said just now is wrong. How can you decide on your own parents’ orders, matchmaker’s orders, and marriage matters? You are not old enough to be involved in the world, so it would be bad if you were deceived by bad people. Therefore, listening to your parents’ words is the safest thing to do.”
“What bullshit parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words are harmful. How can two people who have never met each other be happy after marriage?” Liu Ke’er’s face was filled with disdain.
Father Liu was a little embarrassed.
“Looks like you’ve made up your mind. Aren’t you afraid of offending our Wu Clan? Aren’t you thinking about the Liu Clan?” Wu Tianzhuo’s expression darkened.
“Are you threatening me?” Liu Ke’er’s expression also turned cold, “Within Cloud Continent City, do you still dare to make a move?”
Wu Tianzhuo said, “There are many ways to deal with your Liu Clan. For example, the Liu Clan’s business in Yunzhou City may not be able to continue.”
“Who are you trying to scare? Your Wu Clan is in the jade business. What can you do to suppress our industry?” Liu Ke’er argued with him.
Wu Tianzhuo was stunned, as if his words made some sense.
“Alright, stop arguing.” Father Liu stopped, “We are in the wrong after all. How about this, we are willing to compensate?”
“Compensation? Do you think our Wu Clan lacks this kind of money?” Wu Tianzhuo sneered.
Father Liu sighed and said, “In this situation, we can only make compensation. After all, my daughter refuses to marry you, so it’s useless to say anything. Therefore, you should put forward a condition.”
Wu Tianzhuo thought for a moment and said, “Since that’s the case, then alright, thirty thousand spirit stones!”
“Thirty thousand spirit stones!” Everyone was shocked.
“This” Father Liu hesitated for a moment and said, “Isn’t there too much?”
Even for a large clan like the Liu Clan, it was extremely difficult to take out 30,000 spirit stones. It was practically all the spirit stones they could use now.
“That’s right, even thirty thousand spirit stones. We don’t like it even if it’s too little.”
“Thirty thousand spirit stones is thirty thousand! It’s better than tearing your faces apart.” Father Liu actually nodded in agreement.
“Absolutely not! Thirty thousand spirit stones is simply too much!” Someone from the Liu Clan objected.
“That’s right, if we take out this spirit stone, what cultivation resources can our Liu Clan use in the future? This matter must not be done!”
Everyone agreed.
Father Liu advised, “There’s nothing you can do about it. You have to understand my difficulties.”
Someone sneered, “Forgive you? Why? This mistake was committed by your clan. Why should our entire Liu Clan bear it?”
“That’s right! Even if you’re the Patriarch, you can’t abuse the resources of the clan! You made a mistake yourself. Why should the clan wipe its butt?”
Father Liu’s expression was extremely ugly as he shouted, “Shut up! Don’t tell me you don’t even listen to the Patriarch’s words?”
Everyone fell silent.
“Take out this spirit stone and compensate the Wu Clan. I’ll think of a way to make up for it in the future!” Father Liu said.
Second Uncle Liu jumped out and shouted, “What can you do to make up for all these spirit stones? If you really want to take out this spirit stone to compensate the Wu Clan, then unless you give up the position of Patriarch, we will agree to this matter!”
“Give up the position of Patriarch?” Father Liu’s face was pale and he staggered as if he could not stand firmly. He said, “For the sake of these thirty thousand spirit stones, you are actually plotting to seize my position as Patriarch?”
Second Uncle Liu smiled and said, “Don’t be so unpleasant. Since you’ve made a mistake, it’s normal for you to pay the price.”
Father Liu sighed and said, “Alright, for my daughter’s sake, even if I give up the position of Patriarch, I am willing!”
Everyone fell silent. The scene quieted down. It seemed that they did not expect Father Liu to actually agree to this proposal.
“He is actually willing to give up the position of Patriarch!” Someone whispered.
“How great! How great is this father’s love!”
“I pity his daughter, but she is a selfish person. She will only watch others give, but she will not do anything herself.”
“That’s right, she’s such an unfilial girl. If I had such an unfilial daughter, I would definitely be chased out of the house and cut off from the outside world.”
Everyone pointed at Liu Ke’er, making her look very embarrassed.
Second Uncle Liu said to Liu Ke’er, “Niece, don’t you have any compassion for your father for you? Don’t you have anything to say to him?”
Finally, their fox tails were exposed, but they acted very well, and Liu Ke’er did not notice any flaws.
Liu Ke’er looked at her father blankly and said emotionally, “Father, I didn’t expect you to treat me so well. I misunderstood you in the past and thought that you weren’t firm in your stand. Now I know that for my sake, you can not even give up the Patriarch.”
“This is all my willingness!” Father Liu said righteously. At the same time, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Second Uncle Liu continued to induce, “So what? Do you want to do something for your father?”
Liu Ke’er nodded her head and said firmly, “That’s right, I can’t let my father pay for it alone. I also want to help my father!”
Father Liu’s spirits lifted as he looked at Liu Ke’er, his eyes filled with hope.
The rest of the Liu family were the same, hoping that she would nod in agreement to the marriage.
