C38 Engagement
The guard at the door scrambled to leave, not even daring to look at Yao Guang.
Like the stars surrounding the moon, Yao Guang was invited by the Li family members to enter the estate and arrange a courtyard for Yao Guang to bathe and change into.
After Yao Guang finished washing up and walked out, Steward Sun was still waiting outside the door. He saw Yao Guang wearing a white robe, with starry eyes, sharp eyebrows, and a handsome face. He bitterly smiled in his heart. She respectfully said, "Young Master Yao, the Patriarch is waiting for you in the guest hall. Please follow me."
Yao Guang nodded and left with Butler Sun.
On the other side, a handsome middle-aged man was seated at the head of the guest hall. He seemed to be in a very good mood, he raised his teacup and took a sip, smiling as he said, "Lan'er, when that Yao Guang kid arrives, you must take good care of him. He was engaged to you. "
"Father, your daughter said that she will only marry men stronger than me. If he is a scarecrow, then your daughter will not be able to comply." He only saw that the young girl sitting at the side had a pure appearance, but a heroic air exuded from her brows, causing others to feel a sense of awe at her beauty. She was Li Hongfei's daughter, Li Qinglan. Her cultivation had already reached the Seven Star Martial Grand Master at such a young age.
"Hmph, dad, I've seen this Yao Guang just now, but I don't see anything special about him. Other than his weird clothes, he doesn't feel anything special at all. Compared to me, he's nothing at all." Li Qingfeng curled his lips in dissatisfaction. Previously, his father had always told him how inferior he was to Yao Guang, but today, after seeing Yao Guang, his heart was even more unconvinced.
"Hmph, you stinking brat, what do you know? Yao Guang's battle with the Fu family in Wu Yue City has already proven your strength, how can I not understand you? If you don't live up to expectations, your father will not teach you the position of the future Patriarch! " Li Hongfei said resentfully.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Under Butler Sun's lead, Yao Guang arrived at the living room. Upon seeing Li Hongfei, Yao Guang clasped his hands at Li Hongfei and said, "Greetings, Patriarch Li!"
"Haha!" Guang'er, there's no need for you to be so courteous. Your father and I are best friends, so just treat me like your father would. "
Yao Guang gave an awkward smile as she heard this. Her peripheral vision glanced at Li Qinglan, who was sitting at the side. After she heard Li Hongfei's words, her beautiful face was smeared with a trace of captivating red as she bit her lips, blaming her father for not choosing to speak.
"Guang'er, I communicated with your father last time and said that you left a month ago. Why have you only arrived at Jade Tau City today?" Li Hongfei asked in confusion.
"To tell you the truth, I was surrounded and annihilated by a large number of experts sent by the Fu and Situ Families on my way. I only managed to escape by a fluke after fighting for nearly a month in Cloudburst Valley. Yao Guang calmly said.
"What?" You were assassinated? " Li Hongfei said in disbelief.
After Li Qinglan heard what he said, she turned her head and looked at him deeply, her heart filled with shock.
Not mentioning the large number of assassins who surrounded and annihilated Yao Guang, just Yun Gu alone was one of the most dangerous places. For him to be able to survive in such an environment, it definitely wasn't something an ordinary person could do. The corners of Li Qinglan's mouth revealed a hint of playfulness.
"Guang'er, how did you escape? Is there someone secretly helping you? " Li Hongfei asked in surprise.
"The two elders who were responsible for escorting me were killed in battle. However, they had also paid a heavy price!" The corners of Yao Guang's lips curled up and he said, "The two families sent out a dozen or so people to be killed by me, but only Situ Yun and an elder I don't know survived. Afterwards, they were attacked by a Rank Three demon beast. I took advantage of this to escape."
Li QingLan suddenly said, "If what you said is true and you can escape an 8-star Martial Master, then your strength should at least reach the Seven Star Martial Master level, right?"
"My sister is right. From the looks of it, your cultivation is on par with mine, and you are also a 6-star Martial Master. Are you intentionally bragging?"
At this time, Li Hongfei lightly coughed and said, "Okay, the two of you do not need to doubt it. Such a big matter will spread throughout the world sooner or later. I believe Guang'er is not lying."
"But, Father …" Li Qingfeng was unwilling to accept this. He still wanted to say something.
"If you are unconvinced, you can spar with Guang'er. If you lose, I'll punish you to not leave your house for a month." Li Hongfei blamed his son for not being sensible.
He could feel that Li Qingfeng was just not convinced by him and didn't have any malicious intent, so he smiled and said, "Qingfeng, if you don't accept it, we can spar for a while. I think action is more important, what do you say?"
"Alright, you asked for it. If you lose, you have to call me brother!"
Li Qingfeng jumped from his chair to stand next to Yao Guang, revealing a crafty smile, as if as long as Yao Guang was willing to agree, he would be the one to win.
"Sure, I promise you, but what if I win?"
"Hmph. You're going to win. I'll take you as my brother-in-law." After saying that, she glanced at Li Qinglan, who was sitting beside her, with a guilty conscience.
Yao Guang smiled bitterly. This brat really didn't care about the big issues. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Li Qinglan didn't like him. And as a reincarnated person, his heart wasn't in this barren land at all.
"Feng, did your skin itch again?" Li Qinglan gritted her teeth as she spoke. He tightly clenched his fists, as if he was warning Li Qingfeng to immediately take action.
"Hehe!" "Young mistress, I'm sorry. A slip of the tongue is a pure slip of the tongue!" That fawning expression caused Yao Guang to feel nauseous.
When Li Qingfeng turned his head to look at Yao Guang, his expression once again changed to one of arrogance.
"Yaoguang, let's go to the courtyard and spar!"
With that, he took the lead and walked into the courtyard. Yao Guang turned his head to look at the Li family's Patriarch and said, "Uncle Li, then this nephew will be making a fool of himself."
"Haha!" Guang'er, you don't have to be this polite. Let that brat have a better understanding of you so that he won't be arrogant all day. "
Yao Guang walked into the courtyard with a smile. Seeing that he was already in position, Li Qingfeng impatiently said, "Why are you so slow? Are you trying to stall for time?" "Let me tell you, if you don't fight with me today, I'll fight to the death with you!"
Yao Guang casually stood on the spot and said, "We are only fighting in an ordinary match. We don't need to use spiritual energy. Otherwise, if we destroy the courtyard, it wouldn't be good."
Seeing Yao Guang's casual look, Li Qingfeng felt dissatisfied in his heart. He said, "Okay, everything is up to you. Take a look at this move!"
After saying that, he rushed towards Yao Guang, his fist striking towards Yao Guang's chest. Yao Guang was still standing at his original position, but when his fist suddenly struck Yao Guang, Li Qingfeng suddenly stopped, and said: "Hey! What do you mean? Why didn't you make a move? "
"Do as you please. Don't worry about me."
"Good!" That's what you said. " After he finished speaking, he threw a punch towards Yao Guang's chest. Even though the two of them were only competing with normal fists and kicks, Li Qingfeng was still a 6-star Martial Master, so if he was hit in the chest, he would be heavily injured.
