Because the two parties had an agreement at that time, the Xue family did not give a specific answer at that time.
Moreover, Xue Yu's promotion to Grandmaster from Jiangbei is a sure thing.
"If... Xiaoyu can really become Jiangbei's fiancée, wouldn't it be reasonable for him to help Xiaoyu become a master?"
The third child of the Xue family couldn't help but say.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
Although what he said is indeed true, he is already putting profit first!
Everyone in the Xue family naturally understands this truth and knows that this is the best choice.
but……
You can't do this.
Mr. Xue, who has been used to being proud all his life, cannot make this choice.
Forcing others to do something difficult is not what Mr. Xue wants.
He shook his head silently, then raised his head to look at Xue Yu and asked: "Xiao Yu, what do you think?"
Xue Yu, who had been silent all this time, had long known that today's discussion was ultimately about his marriage.
Therefore, she was even more confused.
At first, it was just because of Jiangbei's strength that he went to Shanghai to look for him.
But today, she saw a different Jiangbei.
An iron-blooded man who values love and justice, walks to the military headquarters with a Tang sword, and is willing to pay any price for his dead comrades.
Even the old man Xuanwu, such a powerful being, dared to challenge him head-on.
In fact, she has never seen such a stubborn character in the ancient martial arts world where strength is king.
It is only passed down in those legends that the warrior gods were furious... to repay the kindness of the monarch and relieve the suffering of the people.
Xue Yu thought for a long time before slowly raising his head and said, "I agree to break off the engagement."
"Xiao Yu!"
"Xiao Yu, if you think about it again, that's..."
Everyone in the Xue family was anxious.
On the one hand, it is benevolence and righteousness, and on the other hand, it is the binding of interests.
People are always like this. When they really make a choice, they always suddenly feel that another choice is better.
Even if it's against your will.
Because if a strong man like Jiang Bei could really become the son-in-law of the Xue family, it would be so important!
And the Xue family is in the imperial capital!
Like the Xu family, living in Shanghai, even if they agree to withdraw from the household, they can still be evil because they are so close after all...
But if the Xue family agrees to break off the engagement, it will be great fun.
I really quit!
Hearing this, Mr. Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Xiao Yu, have you thought about it?"
"Tell Grandpa, what exactly do you think?"
Obviously, the highly respected Mr. Xue also thinks that the other option is better.
Xue Yu nodded slightly, but didn't know what to say.
After a long while, she said with relief: "Jiangbei already has a wife, and there are three fiancées here. If I go, won't I have to line up as a mistress?"
After all, she is the proud daughter of the Xue family. For Xue Yu to be treated like a child, it is indeed a hurdle that the Xue family members cannot overcome.
"and……"
"If you agree to break off the engagement, the Xue family's contribution today will be a favor to Jiangbei."
"Even if the engagement is broken off, the relationship between the Xue family and Jiangbei will not be severed in the future."
"If the Xue family encounters any crisis in the future, there is still a chance to rely on this personal relationship to ask Jiangbei to help." Xue Yu said.
This analysis was something that no one in the Xue family had thought of before.
It stands to reason that it is Xue Yu who is the fiancée who has a relationship with Jiangbei, and she should be a fan of the authorities.
But on the contrary, they are not as open-minded and think clearly as Xue Yu.
After all, Jiangbei has changed from the son-in-law of the Grand Master to the son-in-law of the Avatar... The relationship between Jiangbei and the Xue family is related to the fate of everyone in the Xue family!
Mr. Xue was silent for a moment and then said: "In that case, I will take the initiative to visit you tomorrow."
"I think Jiangbei just had a battle with the old man Xuanwu, and he is now in an extremely weak period."
"Xue Dong, go to the family treasury again tomorrow to prepare some gifts. Tomorrow we will go to the Chen family together."
"Yes, father!"
At this moment.
But he saw Mr. Xue rolling up a cigarette for himself again, his brows furrowed.
After confirming the outcome of the engagement, the night talk in the Xue family should have ended, but Mr. Xue's behavior at this time made everyone in the Xue family feel excited again.
"Guardians from all directions are dispatched. China may not be at peace." Mr. Xue said solemnly.
"This... what is the guardianship of the four directions?" The Xue family was puzzled.
"After I came back, I talked to Sun Chuanxiong on the phone." Mr. Xue explained.
At this time, everyone realized belatedly that after returning from the military headquarters, the old man didn't even eat dinner, so he locked himself in the study.
"Since ancient times, China has been protected from all directions. Even the powerful people in the world and the kings of the past generations will not obey them."
"Unless someone wants to cut off the foundation of China when the country is in ruins, they can't take action. Ah."
"Dad, you mean... that old man Xuanwu today is one of the guardians from all directions?" Xue Dong's eyes were sharp.
"Exactly." Mr. Xue nodded.
"I checked the genealogy. My ninth-generation ancestor of the Xue family has lost his name. The record of his life and death should not be blank in the genealogy even if he died due to an accident."
This matter is not a secret in the Xue family. After all, when worshiping ancestors, they must avoid this ninth generation ancestor.
But no one knows why.
One of the four guardians today, Xuanwu, appeared, which gave Mr. Xue a wake-up call.
So after he came back, he rummaged through a large number of ancient books and even had a phone call with the Sun family.
coincidentally.
The thirty-third generation ancestor of the Sun family is in the same situation!
Today's Sun Chuanxiong is the thirty-ninth generation of the Sun family, and that ancestor only existed six generations ago.
In other words, it was less than two hundred years ago!
Everything is still remembered!
"That ancestor's name was erased. I don't know if it was his own fault, but his strength is the most powerful in the Sun family in the past few hundred years."
"It is said that the ancestor became the Grand Master at the age of forty and inherited the position of the head of the Sun family. However, just ten years later... he disappeared inexplicably."
"No one knows where the ancestor went, but when he left, all written records related to him in the family were erased, including the genealogy, as if he suddenly disappeared from this world."
"This is also the biggest secret in the history of the Sun family..."
Sun Chuanxiong said this.
After ending the call.
Mr. Xue began to search in ancient books again. Although there were very few records in this regard, he could only infer from a few words.
But it also led him to such a seemingly outrageous conclusion.
Mr. Xue was silent for a long time and then said: "If it is as expected, the ancestors of my Xue family and the disappeared ancestors of the Sun family have become one of the four guardians of China."
"But I can't figure out why the guardians from all directions, who have hardly appeared in this place for thousands of years, suddenly appeared today?"
"And the purpose is just to protect the sixteen people who must die in the military headquarters? If that is the mission of Xuanwu Guardian, how could he take the initiative to pick up the Tang Sword in Jiangbei out of spite?"
"I'm afraid things are going to change today." Mr. Xue said solemnly.
