The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 082
Chapter 082 Bamboo Basket Drawing Water
Under everyone’s hopeful gazes, Liu Ke did not say what they wanted. Instead, she turned around to look at Li Qing as if she was indicating something to him.
Everyone was a little puzzled. They didn’t know what was going on. Seeing that she hadn’t spoken for a long time, they were all a little impatient.
Second Uncle Liu hurriedly said, “Niece, why aren’t you talking? How are you going to help your father? Do you want to promise this marriage so that he won’t be embarrassed?”
Hearing this, Liu Ke’er was stunned. She looked at Second Uncle Liu strangely, as if she felt something was wrong.
“Of course not!” At this time, Li Qing walked over at the right time and said, “Actually, it’s very simple to solve this problem.”
“Oh? May I know what nephew has in mind?” Father Liu asked.
Everyone also looked at Li Qing. This person was often ignored by them. They didn’t know what kind of words he would say when he suddenly stood up this time.
Li Qing faintly smiled and didn’t panic. Instead, he asked Wu Tianzhuo, “Let me confirm once more. As long as the Liu Clan takes out 30,000 spirit stones, then this marriage will be cancelled. You guys won’t bother about this anymore.”
Seeing this, Wu Tianzhuo felt that something was amiss, but he couldn’t explain it.
In their original plan, they did not intend to actually take out these 30,000 spirit stones. After all, this was just Father Liu’s bitter plan. If at the last moment, Liu Ke’er still insisted on refusing to agree to this marriage, then someone would come out and interrupt this matter.
In his opinion, this plan was flawless. Whether it was successful or not, there wouldn’t be any major problems.
If they didn’t succeed this time, they would still have plans for the next step. As long as she continued to wear away like this, sooner or later, Liu Ke’er would not be able to withstand the pressure.
In the end, this was only the first step and he encountered an unexpected situation. Li Qing actually jumped out and said that this problem was very simple.
What exactly did this mean? Wu Tianzhuo didn’t understand and didn’t dare to agree.
Li Qing saw his hesitation and refused to agree for a long time, so he sneered. “What? Do you want to go back on your word?”
In front of so many people, Wu Tianzhuo had no choice but to nod his head and say, “That’s right! As long as the Liu Clan takes out 30,000 spirit stones, this marriage will be cancelled!”
“That’s good! Everyone present heard it. I’m sure you won’t dare to go back on your word.” Li Qing laughed and said loudly, “It’s only thirty thousand spirit stones. Why are you so conflicted? I’ll give you this spirit stone!”
His voice echoed in the hall, filled with pride.
“You’re coming out?” Everyone cried out in unison, dumbfounded, their jaws almost falling to the ground.
They had never thought of that.
“My dear nephew, are you joking?” Father Liu found it hard to believe and couldn’t help but ask. This was 30,000 spirit stones, not 3,000! An ordinary Xiantian expert only had about 10,000 spirit stones. How could a young man like Li Qing have so much wealth?
“Of course I’m not joking. I’m serious. It’s just 30,000 spirit stones. I’ll take it out!” Li Qing said solemnly, “I married Ke Er. It would be most appropriate for me to take out this spirit stone.”
“I don’t believe you have so many spirit stones! You must be lying!” Wu Tianzhuo screamed, unable to believe this fact. He never imagined that things would be so bad. Someone could actually take out thirty thousand spirit stones. This was ridiculous!
This wasn’t his fault. Everyone didn’t think of this, because in their subconscious, it was impossible!
“How would I dare to joke about such a thing? I’ll know it at a glance.” Li Qing chuckled and faced it indifferently.
“Then take out 30,000 spirit stones on the spot! Let everyone have a look.” Wu Tianzhuo gritted his teeth and said.
Everyone looked at Li Qing with doubts in their eyes. They didn’t believe that he could take out so many spirit stones. If that was the case, wouldn’t it mean that he was richer than the entire Liu Clan?
He was able to casually take out 30,000 spirit stones, proving that he possessed far more wealth than this.
They all wanted it to be fake.
“Sure!” Li Qing agreed to this request without hesitation, which made Wu Tian feel bad.
Li Qing waved his hand and countless spirit stones poured out of the spatial ring, forming a small mountain on the ground.
Green light filled the air, spiritual light flashing, flowing brightly!
Everyone was dazzled by this pile of spirit stones. This was simply too shocking!
They could be considered to have seen the world before, but when they suddenly saw such a large pile of spirit stones in front of them, they were still shocked.
“Did you really take it out?” Someone cried out in alarm.
“Isn’t this too exaggerated?”
“Such a young man at the Houtian realm, taking out so many spirit stones is simply unimaginable.”
Everyone’s gazes at Li Qing instantly changed.
Li Qing sneered at the Wu Clan members, “What are you still waiting for? The spirit stones have already been taken out, so why don’t you take them? Do you want to count them in public?”
‘”You… I…” Wu Tianzhuo’s face turned red and pale, and he stammered, unable to speak.
He wanted to go back on his word, but he didn’t dare. In front of so many people, if they dared to go back on their word, the Wu Clan would lose all of their face if this matter got out.
He couldn’t help but want to slap himself, what he said just now was too full, there was no room, even if he wanted to go back on his word. After all, Li Qing had specifically confirmed it to him, and now he had nothing to say.
“This is truly terrifying! We have accepted these spirit stones! I just roughly looked at them. There should be 30,000 spirit stones. The amount is correct.” An elder from the Wu Tian Clan said. He was much more straightforward than Wu Tianzhuo, and he didn’t feel that this matter needed to be settled. So what if he couldn’t marry Liu Ke’er? Since he wasn’t his wife, he didn’t care.
In comparison, 30,000 spirit stones was much more attractive. After returning, he would definitely be able to get some moisture.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Although Wu Tianzhuo was unwilling, he could only pinch his nose and admit it. He looked at Li Qing with hatred and resentment, then turned around and left without stopping.
“This child, why did he leave like this? He doesn’t know any etiquette at all!” The two elders of the Wu Clan muttered softly. Then, they put away the spirit stones on the ground with a smile. They were in a good mood.
They didn’t care about Wu Tianzhuo’s mood, what did this have to do with them? The purpose of this trip was to support Wu Tianzhuo. The result was not important to them.
“Since that’s the case, then this marriage will be cancelled. We won’t bother about this anymore. Goodbye!” After saying that, they left with their men.
…
After the Wu Family members left, the hall became deserted. The people from the Liu Clan did not send them off either. They were all stunned and did not know what to say.
Their emotions were complicated. This plan was considered a complete failure. They didn’t get anything, and it was all in vain. They wasted a lot of effort.
However, this matter could not happen because it was their common secret and could not be announced to the public. Otherwise, they would lose all their face.
“Li Qing, you have so much wealth, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Second Uncle Liu looked at Li Qing with some reproach and asked.
If they knew that Li Qing was so rich, who would bow to the Wu family? As long as Li Qing could hand over 30,000 spirit stones to the Liu Clan, half of them would be enough. There was basically no objection.
Li Qing was puzzled and asked, “Why would I tell you this? You didn’t ask.”
“But when we asked about your background, you said that your parents were dead and there was no one with you, so we thought your family was poor.” Someone said with some resentment.
Li Qing seemed to feel this hint of resentment. He couldn’t help but frown and calmly said, “This is the truth. My family is indeed very poor. This spirit stone was obtained by accident. Besides, even if I am not a poor kid, can I avoid the Wu family from coming to cause trouble?”
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to say, wanting to cry without tears.
The problem was, the Wu Clan was indeed found by them! If they didn’t take the initiative to look for him, this trouble could really be avoided!
Now that they had gotten nothing, they could not help but feel depressed when they thought of how they had benefited from the Wu Clan.
Li Qing felt that something was wrong, because everyone’s attitudes were a little strange. Could it be that he had some faint guesses in his heart, but he wasn’t sure and didn’t say it out loud?
Father Liu also felt that everyone’s attitudes were a little too obvious. In order to avoid revealing any flaws, he hurriedly said, “Alright, this matter has been satisfactorily settled. Everyone, don’t be stunned and disperse.”
“That’s right, let’s disperse, let’s disperse” Second Uncle Liu hurriedly said.
Everyone could only dissipate sullenly, their gazes towards Li Qing filled with resentment.
…
Li Qing and Liu Ke’er returned to the Green Bamboo Garden.
Liu Ke’er said, “Have you noticed that their behavior is a little strange?”
“That’s right, I also have this feeling!” Li Qing nodded and deeply agreed, “Especially after I took out the spirit stones, their attitudes became even stranger.”
“Originally, you took out the spirit stones and solved this problem, so that the Wu Clan would no longer be entangled. They should be happy, but the truth is the opposite.”
“It seems like I’ve ruined their good fortune! Looking at their gazes, I feel resentful.”
“Could it be that they colluded with the people of the Wu Clan, that’s why they did this?” Liu Ke’er hesitated for a moment and guessed.
“We’ve thought of going together. There is indeed such a possibility.”
“If that’s the case, then this family will be too disappointing.” Liu Ke’er revealed a worried expression and suddenly asked, “Then tell me, did my father know about this matter? Did he collude with the Wu Clan?”
“Uh… Well, it’s hard to say. I’m not sure.” Li Qing revealed an embarrassed expression. He didn’t want to ruin their father-daughter relationship.
Liu Ke’er stopped making things difficult for him and said with a sad expression, “If my father really colluded with them, wouldn’t that mean that what happened today was just a scene?”
Li Qing hurriedly held her hand and said, “Alright, don’t think nonsense about things without evidence. If your father is sincere, wouldn’t you misunderstand him? Don’t you think that things are fine now? At least the trouble has been resolved satisfactorily. Let’s treat this as the past.”
“Alright.” Liu Ke’er smiled.
