Chapter 1624 1,627, Just Admit It
From ancient times until now, nine to five was the sign of an emperor.
Controlling nine dragons was the symbol of an emperor.
Therefore, he did not deliberately compliment Su Yu. On the contrary, he kept a low profile.
However, he could not hold back the surprise in his heart.
As an expert in divination, he had a premonition at first glance that the young man in front of him must be an emperor who was above all living things.
However, what Lu Zhongtian found unbelievable was that he had divined the sea area of the sword pavilion more than once, but he had never noticed that there was an existence who carried the emperor’s heavenly mandate.
This made Lu Zhongtian very puzzled.
“Hehe, nephew Xue Yu, how have you been? I stayed at the Xue residence to wait for your return. Congratulations on becoming an appraiser of the Star Pavilion.”Murong Feng also came forward to congratulate him, his tone was very polite.
The other island owners all came forward to congratulate him.
Only Li Qiankun and Li Jun were as still as wooden carvings. The contrast was very obvious.
Su Yu smiled and replied, “Everyone, please take a seat.”
Many Island Masters took their seats, but Li Qiankun and his son were still standing there in a daze.
Since the moment Su Yu appeared, their minds had been empty, as if they had lost their souls.
Seeing that the two of them were not right, Su Yu was slightly surprised, he asked, “Family head Li, brother Li, the two of you are... Oh, right, I wonder what family head Li just said about this junior. What is it? This junior is also very interested to hear it.”
Only then did Li Qiankun and his son wake up from their dream.
Different from the arrogant look just now, they looked as if the sky was falling. Their faces were pale and their eyes were dim.
It was over!
Su Yu was lucky that he didn’t die!
Then he must know that the Li family ambushed and killed them!
With Xue Yu’s current status, he didn’t need to invite the star pavilion at all. The hundreds of island masters present here were probably very willing to serve Su Yu and wipe out the entire Li family to please Xue Yu.
Thinking of this, Li Qiankun broke out in cold sweat.
Li Jun was even worse. His legs were trembling and his lips were trembling.
“Father, brother Xue asked you a question, why don’t you answer?”Li Yue timed the moment to speak. Her face was calm and she gave Li Qiankun a comforting look.
After receiving this look, Li Qiankun’s heart was quick-witted. Could it be that Su Yu did not know what happened that day?
If that was the case... Li Qiankun seemed to have caught hold of a life-saving herb as he saw a ray of hope.
At this moment, the idea of occupying the twin star island and plotting against Xue Yu was thrown out of his mind.
He was also covered in cold sweat. How risky was the plan to ambush Su Yu?
Su Yu smiled and said, “Clan Head Li, is it not convenient for you to tell me about it because I am here?”
Traces of suspicion filled Su Yu’s eyes. He was a person who could see through the details, so how could he not see the strange expressions on Li Qiankun and his son’s faces?
Sensing the strange expression in Su Yu’s eyes, Li Qiankun’s body trembled slightly, and his heart felt bitter.
He was here to announce Xue Yu’s death. Apart from that, what other important things could he announce?
He racked his brains, but he could not find the words to get down the stairs.
Even Li Yue, who was at the side, secretly sighed. She was worried for him.
As time passed, the suspicion in Su Yu’s eyes grew deeper and deeper. The island owners also gradually revealed impatient expressions. Li Qiankun knew that he could not delay any longer, or else Su Yu would definitely see through his flaws!
He could not help but cast a questioning gaze at Li Yue. Li Yueqian glanced over, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
Who asked Li Qiankun to announce something important about Xue Yu in such a high-profile manner? She could not think of any words to say in such a short time.
Li Qiankun’s heart sank. He had no idea what to say at all.
Suddenly, Li Jun, who was standing at the side, saw Li Yue standing close to Su Yu on the left, facing Murong Qingcheng on the left and right. He could not help but realize something.
Who was Murong Qingcheng? Although Xue Yu’s fiancée had canceled the engagement, she had been staying at the Xue family for the past six months in the name of the future daughter-in-law of the Xue family.
His sister, Li Yue, and Murong Qingcheng were standing facing each other. It seemed to have an extraordinary meaning.
He winked at Li Qiankun. Li Qiankun was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Li Yue and Xue Yu, feeling a little confused.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
At that time, the Star Pavilion Master, Mu Canghai, had joked that if Xue Yu fancied Li Yue, she would be the matchmaker to set them up.
When he thought of this, his eyes lit up fiercely. He said excitedly, “Master Xue, Island Lords, this is a matter of great importance to master Xue’s life, so I hesitated a little. Please forgive me.”
Hundred Flowers’blue delicate brows furrowed slightly. “Master Li, if you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible. Don’t second-guess him.”
He implied that he was too long-winded.
Li Qiankun cleared his throat and coughed dryly, he said, “Actually, my daughter, Li Yue, has always admired Master Xue. As a father, I understand my feelings, so I’ve decided to propose marriage to the Xue family in front of all the island owners today. I hope that the two families will unite by marriage and fix up a marriage so that my daughter can stop the pain of missing each other.”
Huh?
Li Qiankun held it in for a long time. It was actually a marriage alliance between two families?
But soon, many island owners cursed in secret.
“Outrageous! That old man, Li Qiankun, actually beat me to it!”
“Why does he think the same as me? I still want to introduce my precious daughter!”
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover. The water in the sea can’t be measured. This guy, Li Qiankun, usually doesn’t say anything, but it turns out he’s so smart!”
“What should we do? Li Qiankun opened his mouth first. How should I open my mouth?”
For a moment, the expressions of many island owners changed, and they all stared at him with unkind expressions.
Li Qiankun’s entire body went cold, as if he was a frog being stared at by hundreds of poisonous snakes. He was so scared that his little heart was thumping wildly.
Xue Yuntian was startled. He did not expect Li Qiankun to propose a marriage alliance between the two families at this moment?
He looked at Li Yue. Although the Xue family was not that great, Xue Yuntian knew Li Yue well. Her character was completely different from the rest of the Xue family.
If she married into the Xue family, he would be very happy.
However, he could not make decisions for Xue Yu on this matter. He could not help but look at Xue Yu and ask, “Yu-er, what do you think?”
Su Yu was confused. Ever since he came into contact with Li Yue, Li Yue was a woman with weak emotions. She was neither happy nor sad.
At least, he had never felt admiration from Li Yue.
He could not help but look at Li Yue and asked, “Miss Li, is this the result of your discussion with the head of the Li Family?”
Even if Li Yue was unperturbed by the favor or humiliation, she was still shocked by her father’s shocking words at this moment. Her crystal clear eyes blinked again and again.
When she looked at her father, she could not help but complain.
Her daughter was innocent, how could she slander her in public? She was ready to reject him.
However, Li Qiankun’s pleading voice immediately sounded in her ears. “Yue\'er, just admit it. I really can’t think of an excuse.”
“Then you can’t use my life as an important matter, right?”Li Yue replied.
Li Qiankun said, “Yue\'er, it’s my fault, but please admit it for the sake of the lives of the entire family. Do you really want us to be exposed for ambushing Xue Yu, and then the entire Li family will be wiped out?”
Li Yue secretly gritted her teeth, an anger that was rarely seen in her life.
But after pondering for a moment, she sighed helplessly.
For the sake of the family, she could only compromise.
“What do you want me to do?”Li Yue returned to her cold self.
Li Qiankun was delighted and said telepathically, “It’s very simple. Just admit that you admire Xue Yu and invite me to propose marriage! Of course, just talking isn’t enough. If there’s an action, it would be the best.”
Li Yue thought for a moment and muttered, “Actions? Alright, I understand.”
Faced with everyone’s gazes, Li Yue’s expression did not change. She was calm as if nothing had happened. She said, “Yes, I admire Xue Yu. It was I who requested father to propose the marriage.”
Hearing that, everyone was in an uproar.
“Pui! Shameless Vixen, you said such words without blushing or jumping!”Many young women secretly transmitted their voices and cursed.
However, what made their eyes pop out of their sockets was..
After Li Yue finished speaking, she squatted down and moved in front of Su Yu. Her rosy little mouth kissed Su Yu’s cheek.
Such a shameless action really shocked them. They were stunned when they saw it.
Even Hundred Flowers Blue, Lu Zhongtian, and the others were stunned on the spot.
Su Yu was even more stunned. He stared blankly at Li Yue and said in surprise, “Why are you...”
Li Yue wiped her lips and said with a confused expression, “I admire you, that’s why I kissed you. Isn’t that what lovers do?”
It was a pity that she was dedicated to martial arts. The love between children that she knew were all stories that she had heard by chance.
She felt that it was natural to kiss someone just because she admired them.
However, she did not know how shocking it was in public.
Su Yu’s mind was a mess and he could not understand the situation.
Did Li Yue really admire him?
“You don’t believe me?”Li Yue frowned. She did not understand why the relationship between a man and a woman was so troublesome. She said, “Then I’ll kiss again.”
“Stop!”Su Yu quickly covered his face. “I believe you, okay?”
Li Yue stood up straight and replied with an “OH”. Then, she stood on the left side of Su Yu with the same expression, completely ignoring the surprised gazes on the scene.
Su Yu felt a slight headache. After pondering for a while, she said apologetically, “Miss Li, I accept your friendship, but I am focused on my martial arts. I am afraid I will let you down.”
The tactful rejection was clearly expressed.
Moreover, it also indirectly dispelled the other island owners’thoughts.
Some of them were glad that Li Qiankun had tried on their behalf, so that they would not be rejected in an awkward manner.
Some of them blamed Li Qiankun and directly blocked this path.
They believed that if they acted on their own, there might be a chance, such as hundred flowers blue.
Her daughter, Hundred Flowers Fairy, was far stronger than the Li family in terms of appearance, talent, or family influence.
Unfortunately, Li Qiankun ruined the good thing.
She stared at Li Qiankun and her gaze fell on his empty body. She said, “Li family head, apart from coming to propose marriage today, don’t you have any gifts prepared for him to congratulate you?”
Li Qiankun, who had finally found his footing, once again lifted his head. His fingers inadvertently touched the top of his sleeve, and he withdrew the half of the starlight grass gift box.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Yu tried to smooth things over. She said, “It’s okay. As long as he’s here, it’s fine. I appreciate your kindness, so there’s no need to make things difficult for family head Li.”
Hundred flowers blue said, “How can that be?”? As a close neighbor, could it be that family head Li specially came to visit and didn’t even prepare a congratulatory gift? To tell you the truth, I have some doubts about the purpose of his visit to the Xue family.”
