章節 705: Chapter 701: The Four Great Sects Gather, The Show-Off Feast Begins!_1
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
A line of figures sped over, led by a thin old man with the hair of a crane and the face of a youth.
This scene left the surrounding suitors speechless.
"Well, guy, we've been waiting here impatiently for so many days, and at most, we've seen two or three gatekeepers from the Bai Family."
"And now, just because this kid is being driven away, the entire Min Clan comes running out?"
By this time, Luo Yu had already started walking away.
"Young hero, please halt!" The lanky elder with youthful looks moved as fast as lightning, appearing in front of Luo Yu in the blink of an eye.
Other family members dressed in white tight-fitting clothes also urgently surrounded Luo Yu.
"Don't hurry off!!"
"Hmm?"
Luo Yu frowned and looked around.
"What is the meaning of this, gentlemen?"
The elder grinned broadly and said, "Rest assured, young friend, I and the members of our family mean no harm. There's no need to rush off, let's have a good talk first."
"This... Miss Bai has already told people to leave; if I don't go now, isn't that being unappreciative?" Luo Yu hesitated.
The elder shook his head and said:
"You speak wrongly."
"Our Bai Family is known far and wide for our hospitality. How could we allow you to have made this trip for nothing, without even offering you a cup of tea?"
"Grandfather." Bai Chenxiang, with her lips puckered in anger, protested, "How could you do this?"
"How? Grandfather is being hospitable!"
After scolding Bai Chenxiang, the elder turned his head to gaze at Luo Yu's handsome, fairy-like face, looking as pleased as a grandfather examining a potential grandson-in-law and said kindly:
"Please forgive us, young friend. Our girl is perfect in every way; it's just that I have spoiled her for too long, so her temper isn't great."
Luo Yu shook his head, "She has quite the true temperament, which is quite good."
The elder turned his head to give his granddaughter a glance.
"Chen Xiang, come here quickly and invite our young friend in for some tea."
"Hiss—"
Sounds of muted shock came from the surrounding crowd as the faces of the suitors turned green with envy.
Well done.
Old man, you're pretty double-standard, aren't you? Acting like we don't exist.
We've been standing here for days, and we haven't seen you come out to say the Bai Family is hospitable or to invite us in for tea.
Darn!
Such a hypocrite!
"Grandfather, I don't want to. If you want to invite someone, invite him in yourself."
"If you want to get married, you marry him," Bai Chenxiang protested defiantly.
Clan Leader Baihe's face turned stern.
"It's time for men to marry and for women to be wed, and you too should find a husband."
"Grandfather also hopes to hold a great-grandson."
Bai Chen Xiang pouted and said:
"But you can't push your granddaughter into the fire pit."
"These men are nothing but good-for-nothings and lechers who rely on their family's names; I bet none of them can beat me in a fight."
"How can you speak like that!" Clan Leader Baihe glared, "Even if it's the truth, you shouldn't say it in public."
The surrounding young men clutched their chests, looking heartbroken.
Damn, Bai Chenxiang's sharp tongue must be inherited from your old man.
Your words are so pointed.
All the bamboo shoots on the mountain are yours to take!
"Boom!"
Without a word, Bai Chenxiang burst out her Soul Power, revealing her Soul Rings.
Five Soul Rings twined around her body, moving rhythmically up and down.
The Sharp Rain Swallow Martial Spirit instantly manifested, with two silvery-white wings sprouting from her back, further enhancing her already beautiful and ethereal aura.
The young men around her were left stunned.
Beautiful!
Such presence!
Bai Chenxiang glared at the group with a fierce but adorable look.
"Whoever can beat me, feel free to come up and try a few moves."
"Why should I, Bai Chen Xiang, who has trained so hard over the years, have to marry some lazy scions who fritter their days away?"
"Uh..."
The crowd exchanged glances with each other, eventually looking down at their own toes.
Comparing wealth with the Bai Family? Sure, they're in the game, but when it comes to strength, they're far too lacking. Once they reach the realm of a five-ringed Soul King, all they'll get is a beating.
"Tch!"
A cold smirk spilled from the corner of Bai Chenxiang's mouth.
"Grandpa, in half a month the people from the other three major families will be coming for the gathering, right? Some among them should be able to defeat Chenxiang, shouldn't they? It won't be too late to talk about this stuff then."
Bai Chenxiang might not truly wish to marry, but she thought that delaying it even by a day was worth the effort.
She was looking for a chance to slip away from the family.
"Give it up. Those three major families might have good relations with our own, but their younger generations are out of the question,"
Clan Leader Baihe waved his hands dismissively.
"The entire Power Clan are like gorillas. Do you think I'd let my granddaughter marry a gorilla?"
"The Control Clan are all tough-skinned and fleshy, looking like iron tower monsters. They're not a good match for my granddaughter, such a delicate and gentle lady."
"The Break Clan are decent, but they also lack young successors. Even the youngest is of your father's generation, older than you."
"This won't do, that won't do... in that case..." Bai Chenxiang's eyes brightened: "Then there's no need to marry anyone."
Clan Leader Baihe shook his head and looked at Luo Yu.
"I think this young friend here is quite good."
"With my insight, I have never seen such a handsome young man in my life. He resembles me when I was young."
"Truly a talent, truly a talent!!!"
The young people nearby curled their lips and muttered under their breath.
A talent?
I spit! You can have that.
You're just after his youthful wealth, his riches and billions.
Bai Chenxiang pointed at Luo Yu with an aggrieved expression, "Grandpa, just because this guy is a bit handsome and has some stinking money, doesn't mean you can talk like that about him."
Clan Leader Baihe sighed:
"Granddaughter, trust Grandpa's judgment. I've been through it all and I have a good eye for people. It's for your own good."
"If it were up to me, we'd get married on the spot."
"What?"
Bai Chenxiang's eyes went wide. She never expected her grandfather to be so unreliable.
"Grandpa, you're going too far," she shouted indignantly.
"Alas, not heeding an elder's advice leads to regret right before your eyes. If you don't listen to Grandpa, you might miss out on your Ideal Gentleman and regret it later," Clan Leader Baihe sighed.
"Just because I'm not with him doesn't mean I'm at a loss, right?"
With her face puffed up and blushing, Bai Chenxiang retorted defiantly:
"Do you think your granddaughter is greedy for wealth and lustful?"
"What I value has never been money."
"You might regret it, not marrying him, but I certainly won't."
"I swear!!"
Clan Elder Baihe's face wobbled: "Is Grandpa's vision that poor in your eyes?"
Bai Chenxiang advised Luo Yu earnestly: "You better run fast. My grandpa isn't looking at anything else, just your money."
"Careful, or you'll end up empty-handed from both respects."
Luo Yu blinked his eyes.
"I think, Grandpa's eyes are sharp as ever. I choose to believe in Grandpa."
"Hiss—"
The surrounding crowd gaped, taunting.
"Such a shameless scoundrel, already calling him 'Grandpa'."
"Tsk! Such actions, beneath our dignity!"
Yet, deep inside, they were wailing, "Wuu wuu wuu, I'm so envious of this guy."
"Chenxiang, Grandpa won't say much more. Just ask the people around, see what they think of this young friend."
Bai Chenxiang turned to look, and the people from the Minzhi Clan nodded like pecking chickens, pulling at their jackets to cover up the worn lining underneath.
They stared at Luo Yu with burning eyes.
"Miss, I think this gentleman is really a talent, absolutely worthy of your lifelong commitment."
"Please, Miss, proceed with the marriage!"
"Miss, this opportunity won't come again, you can't miss it."
"Don't let a fine opportunity slip away."
Bai Chenxiang's face turned red with anger, "You... you... are going to anger me to death!"
"Ahh!!"
Luo Yu stepped forward and pressed his hands into the void.
"Everyone, you might as well listen to me..."
