BXBX NOVEL Chapter 177 Cai And Liu
Meanwhile, the Cai family was not exactly in the best of situations.
In one room, multiple elders were seated and the matriarch was at the helm. She glanced coldly at each and every one of them.
"What has the main family said?" she asked, but she already knew what they would say.
"The Cai family said that there is no way that a girl surnamed Cai is allowed to marry into the Hong family and that we must fight until the last breath." one person stepped up and said.
"All this because of one lecherous rascal. I will be sure to behead him, for him to dare lust after Lien." the woman cursed.
"We should let go of Cai Lien! Then, the family will not have to sacrifice itself for one impudent girl who dared to rope in a boy from the Hong family, and it can evade this whole conflict." Cai Yian, who was at the side, suggested.
"If you want to die, then I will personally do it. Don\'t you dare try and ruin my daughter\'s life. I will not even look at the fact that you are my brother." Cai Duan said as he rose up.
"Is this the time for infighting? If we start fighting now, then the fight will be lost before it even begins! Sit down, both of you!" the old lady stood up, and a wave of pressure made all of them lurch back down.
"Mother! You have finally recovered?" Cai Duan had a look of absolute joy.
"The Liu boy did us a good favor. I even got through the bottleneck that I never thought would happen. The battle is not yet lost, yet many of you are trying to make ends meet. The family wasted so many resources on you fools, and when the time comes to fight, you run away?" she shouted at them.
Cai Yian had a look of absolute despair in his eyes. Now, he lost all aspirations to become the clan head, or for his son to get to that spot.
"The Hong family cannot send that many experts to a small city like this. Their main family will become too weak. My guess is that they have at best three Xiantian realm experts in their ranks. But that is still a force that we can\'t beat easily. Too bad, no one else is in the Xiantian realm." the matriarch sighed.
"Where the hell did that Liu brat run off to? If he was still here, then we would have married Lien off to him, and the whole issue would have been sorted. No matter how much that lecher wants Lien, he would never touch a married woman. The Hong family wouldn\'t allow him." she sighed.
"That Liu brat is the reason, mother! We should tell the Hong family to look for him instead. He brought disaster to us." Cai Yian shouted.
"If you talk once more, then I will crush your neck." the matriarch said coldly.
"Matriarch! I bring in important news! There have been sightings at the city gate!" one guard rushed in all of a sudden.
The matriarch nodded and waved her hand.
The guard ran to her and whispered something in her ears. With that, her smile curled up.
"It looks like the Liu Family has no other choice but to enter the fight. And as long as that Liu Qian joins the fight, we will not be in big trouble," she said.
"What happened, mother?" Cai Huan asked. Everyone was curious as to what had happened.
"The boy you were cursing had just returned to the city. It looks like we have to rush to prepare a wedding. Let the Liu Family know that we will be fulfilling the marriage contract that they agreed to." she said as she got up.
"What? Liu Feng returned?" everyone stood up in shock.
"I will go tell Lien the good news. She has been worried for a while now. Let the rest of the family know. Get the preparations done. I want the entire Jade Pavilion ready for receiving guests in a day." she said and disappeared.
"My daughter is getting married tomorrow?" Cai Huan was the only one who was still seated, but he was even more shocked.
Liu Family Pavilion,
As the elders were still shell-shocked at the discovery that Liu Feng was in the Nascent Soul stage, one piece of parchment appeared in front of everyone.
It flew up from one of the cabinets in the pavilion.
Buzzing, the runes on the parchment lit up.
"Elders of the Liu Family. It has come to our attention that Liu Feng has returned to the city. It is our intention to fulfill the marriage contract. Please inform his parents so that they can be here at the earliest." a voice came.
Now was the turn for Liu Feng to be shocked. He did not expect this to suddenly happen.
He returned to tell everyone that he was safe. But he was suddenly getting married? He was just sixteen! There were other ways to solve a problem.
"Getting married? There has to be more time! I cannot get married now! Where is the matriarch?" Liu Feng said.
"The matriarch is..."
"What is wrong? I am just seventeen, that is what is wrong! I don\'t even know who my real parents are, I and everyone in the kingdom know that I have enemies all over, and you want me to get married to Cai Lien now? Are you signing her death warrant?" Liu Feng shouted back.
"The people who are after you will not kill your wife. I know that for sure. Now get the hell here and prepare for your wedding. And Liu Hong. I know that you are there. Contact Liu Qian. He has a sound transmission token. I know of that. Don\'t hesitate to use it. Now, the entire city will know that your grandson is marrying my daughter. Just tell him that the Hong family is after Liu Feng\'s life, and Liu Qian will come here running. I have a wedding to plan now." she said, and the piece of paper fell on the floor.
