The city chief presided over the award ceremony, and also spoke to his disciples to encourage them, asking Meng Furong to wait for him in the restaurant's private room.
Tang Yue chose a private room with a view downstairs. She wanted to see her grandpa receive the award and see his graceful appearance when he was young.
Meng Furong's illusion is really amazing. She can imitate the movement of heaven and earth, go back to the past, and build this completely restored illusion without having to experience these things herself.
The young man downstairs was high-spirited. He stood on the stage with his head held high and his chest high, waiting for the city lord to present him with a sword. He didn't feel any guilt at all for defeating his disciple.
The corner of the city lord's mouth twitched, he really hated these disciples from top aristocratic families, who never gave anyone face due to their background.
He finally managed to get out of a second-rate family and had the opportunity to become the lord of a city, but at this time he still had to be angry with these people.
After thinking about it, the sword still has to be given to others. This is the face and favor the city wants to maintain. He should just be on good terms with the Shui family. In this way, his brother will be embarrassed to have a dream with him again, right?
He thought well, but Shui Xuanming was so focused on Meng Furong that he didn't notice that his brother had won. When she went upstairs alone, he followed her.
He went to the box door and knocked on the door, "Rongmei, it's me. I want to talk to you."
Well, there was no way to avoid what was coming, so Tang Yue let him in.
Shui Xuanming looked at her with an aggrieved face and sat across the table, "Rongmei, how could you come to Xuanjian City without saying goodbye and still seem to have a special relationship with the city lord?"
Tang Yue looked cold, "I said the reason in the letter. I think your mother doesn't like me. A marriage without the blessing of your parents will not end well."
Shui Xuanming hurriedly defended, "My mother doesn't dislike you. She is very satisfied with your family background. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Tang Yue didn't know whether he really didn't know his mother's attitude or was pretending not to know to fool her. This made her very upset. She really didn't like people who tell lies like this. It was a waste of time.
Grandpa downstairs took the sword and made a declaration, "Thank you all heroes for supporting me. In three years, I will participate in the Liuzhou Continent Kendo Competition and compete for the top spot. I hope you can still come to watch my competition.
."
Tang Yue secretly laughed in her heart, her grandfather actually provoked the Xuanjian City sword cultivator in front of so many people.
Sure enough, Feng Zimo, who was standing in second place, was not convinced and said: "I will also participate in the competition in three years. If I compete with Brother Shui again, I will definitely not lose to you again."
Grandpa smiled evilly, "Three years is not enough time."
She watched for a while and was interrupted loudly by Shui Xuanming across from her, "Rongmei, did you hear that? Come back to Shui's house with me now. I will let my parents hold a wedding for us."
She didn't listen to this for a while, why did it get to this point, frowned and said: "Shuidaoyou's younger brother won the kendo competition and is receiving the award downstairs. Don't you care about this?"
Shui Xuanming looked a little confused, "It's just a small competition. If you win, you win. What should you care about?"
Tang Yue was speechless, what kind of brother is he? No wonder his grandfather did not have a good relationship with him. "Your brother is not a swordsman, but he has defeated many swordsmen. This is an insult to them, and they may take revenge on you."
younger brother."
Shui Xuanming said disdainfully: "If you lose to others, you are not as good as others. You should admit defeat generously. If you don't have this kind of heart, how can you cultivate?"
"But will the person who seeks revenge be able to reason with you when he attacks?"
"Okay Fleur, don't worry about this, let's talk about business?"
"What else is there to do?"
At this moment, she really doubted Meng Furong's taste. How could someone who couldn't explain clearly and suffered all the words she had, still have the idea of marrying him.
"It's about Furong and you coming back to Shui's house with me."
"I'm not going."
"Rongmei, don't be stubborn. There is no misunderstanding that cannot be solved. Just go back with me and talk to your mother."
"I won't go, how can you still tie me up?"
Tang Yue placed the cup heavily on the table. Why can't this person understand human speech? If she continues to speak, her character will be shattered and her mouth will be filled with fragrance.
Shui Xuanming looked very hurt, "How could I force you, Sister Rong? You have to believe that I am sincere, and I will make you happy."
Tang Yue took a deep breath, restrained his urge to hit people directly, and began to output, "Shui Xuanming, you are not using force to coerce me now. Of course, whether you can beat me is still a question. But you are kidnapping me morally.
When it comes to love, you have to ask me to do it. Now that I don't want to, you should let me go."
"But you promised me from the beginning." Shui Xuanming looked incredulous. He had obviously made an agreement with Meng Furong, so why did he go back to the starting point?
"That's because I was too naive at the time and didn't realize that the Shui family was a powerful family. It was really not something that a wild girl like me could join."
"How could it be? Sister Rong, you are a descendant of a goddess. It sounds like your family is much nobler than mine. You will definitely be able to adapt to it."
Why, do you hear something unworthy in this passage?
"To tell you the truth, I don't like the complicated relationship in your family, and I'm not confident that I can get along well with your mother. I'm not a woman like Shang Chunjiao who serves her parents-in-law. I need a free life, and you can't give it to me.
This kind of life will restrict me, do you understand?"
This was close to saying that she didn't like the Shui family. Shui Xuanming couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore. He asked sadly: "Do you really think my family is so bad?"
"It's not that I think your family is bad. The Shui family is very good for a woman like Shang Chunjiao. She would break her head to squeeze in, but it's not what I like. This little friendship between you and me is not worth letting me
Give up my current freedom, do you understand?"
Shui Xuanming lowered his head in silence. This was something he had never dared to think about. Meng Furong was a woman who didn't care about worldly views. She could do whatever she wanted and would not wrong herself. In fact, she was not suitable for a wealthy family like the Shui family.
But he feels that people can change. After marriage, he can just follow her as much as possible, and there will be no obstacles that he can't overcome.
Besides, the position of mistress is just a title, and she is also responsible for many chores, which Meng Furong is impatient to do. Just leave these things to Shang Chunjiao.
After marriage, he can live in another place with Meng Furong and live his own life.
"You can leave the daily chores at home to Chunjiao, and we can just move out and live together. Except for being together with me, the life after marriage will be no different from the life you live now."
Tang Yue sighed, "You said, you want me to be your outer room?"
Shui Xuanming hurriedly said: "Of course not, in my heart you will always be my only wife, I just have to."
Tang Yue was very direct, "I think you are not worthy, what do you think? Brother Shui, I think it's time for you to leave. If you insult me again, we will fight each other."
She just saw her grandpa take out the sound-transmitting jade, took a quick look, and ran out, worried that something would happen to her grandpa. Even if this was an illusion, she couldn't bear to see her relatives suffer.
Therefore, she interrupted Shui Xuanming and said, "I saw that your biological brother just ran out because of something. If you don't go and take a look, wouldn't you be someone who doesn't care about your brother?"
She has been kidnapped by her morals, so the other party can no longer remain indifferent, right?
"Fu Rong, I..." He actually wanted to stay and persuade Meng Fu Rong, but luckily he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"No intention of intruding, Furong, is it convenient for me to come in now?" It was the voice of the city lord. He had been listening to it outside for a while, and he just thought why Shui Xuanming was such a mother-in-law. The other party refused so completely, and he still refused to leave.
They really disgraced themselves as male cultivators.
Tang Yue hurriedly invited the city lord to come in, "Don't interrupt, we have finished talking about our business, please come in, city lord." She really didn't want to hear Shui Xuanming say another word.
The city lord pushed open the door and entered, "It turns out to be Nephew Shuixian. Your brother just left in a hurry. I'm afraid there is something important, so you'd better go and have a look."
She told him to leave immediately.
Shui Xuanming had no choice. After all, the city lord was here and he still had to worry about his face. He looked deeply at the woman opposite Yi Yan and said, "Fu Rong, I will come to you again. Don't do something wrong on impulse."
The city lord was very annoyed. Why was this man still here with such strange behavior? He opened the door and said, "Nephew Shui Xian, please."
