Chapter 665 - The Capital Plan (1/2)
“I knew that you will be worried about sister Wan’er, so I’ve specially inquired about the situation for you. I’ve figured out all the details now.”
Hu Xiaoxian began to tell the story. It turned out that Qin Waner had gone back to visit her family this time. She wanted to see her family members, especially her mother.
It was the first time for her to go home after she recovered from her illness. When the Qis saw Qi Waner, who used to be such an ugly little girl and had now turned into a great beauty, they were excited and astonished.
Shi Zhixuan, Qi Waner’s mother, was even more ecstatic. But she was worried that her daughter’s fate might be bad, so she asked the top master in the capital, Taoist Yuan Tianren, to read her fortune.
After checking, he said that Qi Waner would be blessed since she survived a disaster. Now she had a rare good-luck face and would bring fortune to her husband. Anyone who married her would definitely become rich and prosperous.
Yuan Tianren was the most famous Geomantic Omen master in the capital. It was said that he knew what had taken place five hundred years ago and what would happen five hundred years later. Everyone believed in his predictions, especially the aristocratic families, who regarded his advice as an imperial edict.
After hearing the news, numerous people gathered around the Qi house. The matchmakers from all the aristocratic families came to propose marriage. They were all eager to get this beautiful girl who would bring luck to their family.
The Qi family was, of course, very happy about the result. After the selection, Qi Guofan, the master of the Qi family, decided to arrange a marriage with the Zhao family and marry Qi Waner to Zhao Hongkun.
Qi Waner had never expected that a simple fortune-telling act from Yuan could lead to such an occurrence. She repeatedly told her grandfather that she already had a boyfriend.
However, as a member of a distinguished family, she had no control over her marriage matters. Her father did not take her words seriously and even snapped at her.
Qi Yulong was very satisfied with this marriage. First of all, the relationship between the Qi family and the Zhao family had always been good. If they were united through marriage, both of them would enjoy great benefits in the future.
Besides, he was satisfied with Zhao Hongkun. He was outstanding among the younger generation in the capital. The young man was very handsome and stable and he would be one of the top candidates for the head of the Zhao family.
That was the reason why he directly dismissed her proposal without even asking who her boyfriend was.
She had no other choice and decided to run away. But before she could even leave the house, she was caught by Qi Yulong and her cultivation had also been sealed. She was ordered to stay in her room to reflect on her mistakes. She was not even allowed to leave the house before the engagement.
After hearing what Hu Xiaoxian, Qin Haodong looked gloomy and he said coldly, “Is Yuan Tianren the Old Taoist Yuan of the Chu family?”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “It’s him. The master of the Chu family respects him very much.”
“This old bullshitter. Why is he still lingering around here?”
Qin Haodong nearly wanted to kill this man.
It was this old man who spouted a lot of nonsense in the Chu family. After breaking up the marriage between Qin Zongheng and Chu Xuanyue, he also said that their ancestral grave was a land for fairies and asked them to kill him.
If it were not for this damned old man, he would not have been separated from his mother.
He had not taken revenge on him and how dare he cause so much trouble for Qi Waner? At this moment, he had already decided to kill this man.
Besides, the Qi family was forcing Qi Waner to marry Zhao Hongkun, which made him furious.
He hated this kind of arranged marriage and it was due to corrupt customs driven by interests that his family was destroyed and he became an orphan since he was still a child. He had not found his father until now.
“I’m going to bring some people and take Wan’er back. I’ll kill everyone who dares to stop me!”
Qin Haodong said in great anger.
After he finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave. Hu Xiaoxian immediately stopped him and said, “Haodong, calm down. It’s not appropriate for you to do so.”
Qin Haodong said angrily, “Don’t worry. With my current strength, I don’t care about the Qi family at all.”
He was very confident now. Lin Momo, Nalan Wushuang, Nalan Wuxia, Feng Wu and Hu Xiaoxian standing in front of him were all at the ninth-level of the Supreme Power Realm. Any of them could defeat the two ninth-level masters of the Seven Great Families. Besides, he had also had the support of the Cihang Sword House.
Moreover, he was also in charge of the Daddy Security Company and had a hundred supreme power masters under his control. They were extremely powerful, no matter where they were.
Hu Xiaoxian explained, “I’m not worried about your strength, but it’s not appropriate for you to do so.”
“Why not? I can’t just let them force her into marriage.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “Have you ever thought why Qin Zongheng chose to wander for so many years if he is able to solve everything by using force?
“I believe that he must have already reached the Saint level. Neither the Qin family nor the Chu family can defeat him.”
Qin Haodong slowly calmed down and asked, “Why?”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “Lovers who do not have their families’ blessings can’t be happy. This rule applies to both ordinary people and the children of aristocratic families.”
“That was the reason why your father was forced to get engaged to Yan Feifei and why Aunt Chu chose not to elope with Qin Zongheng. They always dreamed of getting blessings from their families.”
