Chapter 55: The Forced Engagemen (2/2)

This was an immortal pill that could extend a person’s life. How could he not be excited by it? All these years, he had contributed so much to the Kunlun Sect and had gotten some ordinary pills. However, this longevity pill he just received was the only treasure he had gotten after so many years.

All these years, he was able to establish a name for himself due to having Kunlun Sect as his backing. Although he was in the upper echelon of Yunhai, that was just on the surface. In reality, he was just a puppet for the Kunlun Sect. The majority of the profits from the medical herbs were all given to the Kunlun Sect.

“Uncle Lan, this time I have another matter I wish to discuss with you.” Fang Wenxuan opened his mouth and said. It would be best to strike while the iron was still hot. Since he had just received a precious gift from them, it would be the optimal time to discuss his issue.

“May I know what is your issue, Young Master Fang? If it’s something within my means, I will definitely perform it well.” After getting the longevity pill, Lan Jinsong’s mood was very good.

“It’s like this, I have been engaged with Lan Ya for a year. We came to an agreement previously that after 3 years of engagement, I would bring her back to Kunlun Sect. However, you should also know that I will not be able to come down from the Kunlun Mountain often. As this is not beneficial for our relationship, I hope uncle would allow me to bring Lan Ya back to Kunlun Mountain. This way, it would be easier to foster our relationship and I also hope that she would always stay by my side in the future.”

After he heard what Fang Wenxuan said, Lan Jinsong’s complexion kept changing. Lan Ya had always been his greatest regret. Her mother had died early causing their relationship to slowly drift apart. As a result, she moved out from here. In addition, last year he suddenly betrothed her to Fang Wenxuan. This caused her to hate him even more.

When he called her yesterday and told her that Fang Wenxuan came over, he had told her to come and accompany him. In the end, she didn’t come, but when Fang Wenxuan went to look for her, he actually came back with serious injuries. Lan Jinsong didn’t even know what had actually happened and if it was related to his daughter.

Now, Fang Wenzuan proposed to bring his daughter back to Kunlun Mountain. Regarding this matter, he could not decide for her. Truthfully, he wasn’t willing to marry his daughter to Fang Wenxuan. Although Fang Wenxuan was a cultivator, Lan Jinsong was just a commoner. It can be said that they were from two different worlds.

Perhaps, others may think that this was the first step to immortality. However, Lan Jinsong knew that wasn’t so. Lan Ya was his only daughter. He always wished his daughter would be able to live her life in peace and free of worries.

The moment she got married to an immortal family, how could he, as a commoner, care what happened in the immortal family? Even if his own daughter suffered, he would not be able to do anything to them. It may seem like the current Fang Wenxuan was extremely polite to him, but what if he were to fall out with him. Would he still care about him, his father-in-law?

The engagement previously was forced on them. He had been in Yunhai for more than 10 years, in the upper echelon of society, and he was someone who had made a name for himself. How could he be willing to revert back to his previous self. He had no choice, but to sacrifice his daughter and promise them to engage his daughter to Fang Wenxuan. Although they had the agreement of three years, it seemed like they were going to go back on the original deal.

Lan Jinsong said awkwardly, “Young Master Fang, regarding this issue, I would approve it. However, you also know that Lan Ya does not bother about my opinions anymore. As she has already moved out, I can no longer manage her and she will no longer listen to me. Therefore, I hope that Young Master Fang would be able to attain Lan Ya’s approval regarding this matter.”

“Haha! It’s alright. Although Mr. Lan has no objections, we will definitely get Ms. Lan’s consent with this matter. You should be able to tell that our young master has fallen in love with Ms. Lan. I believe Mr. Lan should feel assured to leave her with us.” When he heard the words from Lan Jinsong that contained slight objections, Guan Shiyuan who was sitting beside them laughed. What he meant was “once we have gotten your approval, we will just take Lan Ya back. She doesn’t have a choice!”

“Haha! Of course. The adoration shown by Young Master Fang, I am definitely able to see. I also believe that if she were to enter the Kunlun Sect, it would be her fortune. In addition to young master’s love, I’m assured,” Lan Jinsong laughed and said. But no matter how you saw his expression, it looked very unnatural as it looked forced.

At this moment, Lan Jinsong felt that he had fallen into a difficult situation. He knew that his daughter disliked Fang Wenxuan and also knew that because of the engagement, she was always very unhappy with him.

But since they wished to bring her away now, he really had no other choice. Calling the police? This kind of problem, the police wouldn’t even dare to interfere. If the Kunlun Sect were truly angered, he would definitely be turned into a pile of bones. Their way of handling things, he had witnessed before. All these years, how they created a smooth journey for his success, he definitely experienced their atrocities. Otherwise, how could he be so afraid of what they would be do to him?

It’s finally the weekend! Cheng Yu was prepared to bring Keke out today to go shopping. He pulled Keke out, and Zhao Yunfang ran out together with her, ”Cousin, are you bringing Keke out? I want to go as well!”

“Ok. Drive your previous Ferrari there. Let’s bring Keke around together.”

“Yay!” The little girl ran towards the garage excitedly.

An hour later, the trio arrived at Yang Ruoxue’s home. Yesterday night, Cheng Yu made an appointment with her. He would also bring his little sister to visit her. The moment Keke stepped into the house, Yang Ruoxue was already attracted to her.

Keke possessed a spiritual body. Her body was filled with spiritual Qi. Anyone who saw her would feel extremely comfortable and would have an impulse to carry her.

“Cheng Yu, when did you have such a cute little sister? Could she be your illegitimate daughter?!” Yang Ruoxue carried Keke and sat on the sofa. Nanny Zhang brought out a pile of snacks and placed them on the tea table. Zhao Yunfang sat down beside Yang Ruoxue and started to open up the snacks and passed them over to Keke.
