"That's enough! Stop it!~"
Long Zhiyuan's stop made Long Yi take back his strength, "Master Zhou, are you okay?" Master Zhou's breath was obviously a little unstable, and he adjusted his breath slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, I, I'm fine... ..."
When Long Yi saw this, he became even more dissatisfied and asked, "Brother, what are you doing to stop me?"
"Shut up! You caused me trouble just after you came back. Do you think my elder brother is dead?!"
"Brother, flies have been pestering my little sister this week. He even touched me just now. It would be strange if I didn't kill him!" Long Yi still wanted to take action, but under Long Zhiyuan's pressure, everyone present No one should act rashly, and when he heard Long Yi's words, Long Zhiyuan couldn't help but darken his face. When the head of the Zhou family saw it, his heart couldn't help but look at Zhou Cangying behind him with anger in his eyes, "You bastard! You kid!" What did you just do!"
Seeing his father's scolding, Zhou Cangying couldn't help but think, and said angrily: "Father, I, I was not, was not rude to Sister Yuyun, I, I just wanted to ask why there were rumors that as soon as I came back, She was having sex with a man, I, I couldn’t be more angry..."
Snapped! ~
The head of the Zhou family slapped him directly, and said angrily: "Asshole! So you were just rude to Miss Fifth?!" This slap directly slapped him to the ground, and there was even more leakage from the corner of his mouth. The blood was poured out, and Long Yi, Qi Linfeng and others were also slightly startled, "Why don't you get up quickly and admit your mistake to the Fifth Young Lady and the Third Highness!!!" Although Zhou Cangying was unwilling to give in, she was obviously helpless in the face of her father's severity, and Zhou The head of the family himself also knelt on one knee and said with a respectful expression: "I, Zhou Ji, have failed to teach my son well. Please forgive me for this time, Miss Fifth."
As the head of a powerful family, it was surprising that he could put down his dignity like this at this moment. Faced with this, Long Yi also lost most of his anger. Long Zhiyuan looked at the situation and said quickly: "Master Zhou, these are just a few grown-ups. The child is making a fuss, why are you doing this, get up."
Although Long Yi was angry at Zhou Cangying's entanglement and even coercion with Long Yuyun, he still had some knowledge of Zhou Ji. Unlike his playboy son, Zhou Ji, as the head of the family, had an excellent reputation. Some people in Longdu even doubted whether Zhou Cangying was his biological son. After all, their personalities were very different. Long Yi turned to Long Zhiyuan and said, "Brother, since everyone happens to be here today." Well, to save you the trouble, just cancel the engagement between my younger sister and Zhou Cangying right now."
"Nonsense."
"How can this be nonsense? Brother, you decided on my little sister's engagement privately while I was in the academy all year round. I won't say anything. But now that my little sister is already the Yuling Envoy, do you want this engagement? Just give it up!"
Long Zhiyuan's face was dull, "This is not something I decided with just one word. After all, it was decided by my father and the elders five years ago, and the matter is not as simple as you think." Although this doesn't sound like much on the surface, As a businessman, Qi Linfeng still sensed that there was something in these words.
"Brother! That was five years ago. My little sister was ignorant at that time, but now if she doesn't want to, how can we force her? Besides, this fly wasn't too bad when she was young, but Look at it now, no one in the entire Long City knows how much he looks like a playboy, and there are even rumors that he has harmed countless girls!"
Hearing this, Zhou Cangying couldn't help but retorted: "Hey, Your Highness, how could I be such a person? You must not listen to the rumors outside..."
"Rumors? If you really behave well, how can there be groundless rumors outside?!"
"I......"
"And just because you dared to touch my sister just now, you are not qualified to have this marriage!"
Zhou Cangying still wanted to argue, but she was slapped by Zhou Ji on the side, "Shut up! You little bastard, what does your father always say to you? He told you not to go out and do no nonsense. It’s okay now, you’ve done evil and brought shame on our Zhou family, you little beast!”
Seeing that Zhou Ji wanted to continue to teach his son, Long Zhiyuan coughed dryly and said: "Okay, okay, Master Zhou, just treat today's incident as a farce. As for Yuyun's marriage..." Seeing Long Zhiyuan's expression, Zhou Ji quickly agreed: "The third highness is right, the dog is too useless. How can such a corrupt reputation be worthy of marrying the fifth young lady? If your highness decides to give up on this marriage, my Zhou family will never Complain.”
When Long Yi heard this, he looked happy and looked at Long Zhiyuan quickly. The current situation seemed that as long as Long Zhiyuan spoke, Long Yuyun would be out of the sea of suffering. However, what made Long Yi and Long Yuyun gradually puzzled was that not only did Long Zhiyuan not Instead of being brave and decisive before, he thought again and again. This especially made Long Yi extremely puzzled, "Brother, what's going on? It's just a Zhou family. Even if they have a big business now, it won't be like this." Be embarrassed."
Qi Linfeng had been watching on the sidelines. From the words and actions of Long Zhiyuan and Zhou Ji, he secretly sighed in his heart, "Hey, it seems that this eldest lady's engagement will not end so easily. Although it is not I know the specific reason, but Long Zhiyuan is obviously worried about Zhou Ji, no, he should be worried about the Zhou family, otherwise according to his character... As for Zhou Ji, if what he just said was sincere, then Comparatively, this person is the most royal and loyal in the entire Dragon Emperor family, but if he is not sincere, then this person is far more cunning and sophisticated than ordinary people..."
As Qi Linfeng guessed, Long Zhiyuan not only did not cancel the engagement directly, but shook his head and said: "Hey, the head of the Zhou family made a strong statement. The Zhou family is also very important in our Dragon Emperor family, so how can he say cancel it?" Just cancel it, and this was decided by my father and your Zhou family back then, but my third brother is right, after all, it still has to be what Yuyun is willing to do."
As soon as Long Zhiyuan said this, although Zhou Ji's expression was subtle, Qi Linfeng saw it all, "Oh, it seems to be the latter. Like son must like father, old fox... ..."
"Hey, it's all my fault, Mr. Zhou, for my incompetence in raising children. I wonder which good girl from that family is willing to marry such a notorious bastard? Mr. Zhou understands, but as you said, Your Highness, this is what happened back then. His Majesty the Dragon King made it himself, and this matter has been rumored outside for several years. If it were to be forcibly lifted, our Zhou family would still be irrelevant, but it would not be good for the fifth lady's reputation... .”
Long Yi was slightly angry, "Master Zhou, what do you mean? Are you using public opinion to suppress our Dragon Emperor family?!"
"Hey, no, no, no, please don't misunderstand, Your Highness. I have absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just that this will really bring a bad reputation to the fifth lady. I just don't want that."
Long Yi disdainfully said, "Tsk, I, the royal son of the Dragon Emperor family, why should I be afraid of this!" Long Zhiyuan shook his head slightly and said, "Then I don't know what the Zhou family master means?"
"Brother!"
Zhou Ji rolled his eyes and sighed slightly: "If the Fifth Miss is really unwilling to join our Zhou family..."
"I don't want to!" Before Zhou Ji could finish speaking, Long Yuyun categorically rejected the engagement. Perhaps it was because of her previous forbearance in the family, or because of other reasons. No one seemed to have thought of it. Long Yuyun would refuse so firmly at this time. Even Long Zhiyuan and Zhou Ji were obviously stunned. Only Long Yi and Qi Linfeng couldn't help but smile. Especially Long Yi, who was so daring about his sister now. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, "What kind of person Zhou Cangying is and what kind of character he has has nothing to do with me. The only thing I care about is that I, Long Yuyun, don't like him, and I don't have any good impression of him, so I want to It’s impossible for me to marry him.”
Facing Long Yuyun's determined look, even Long Zhiyuan seemed to be slightly moved. Seeing this, Zhou Cangying hurriedly said: "Hey, sister Yuyun, don't refuse so quickly. We haven't seen each other for three years. You But you can’t listen to the nonsense of those nonsense people outside. As long as you get along well with me, you will naturally know how good I am to you..."
"I said, I don't like you, let alone get along with you."
His face darkened, and he asked through gritted teeth: "Do you have a pretty boy you like? The pretty boy who came back with you to return your affection. Where is he?"
"Of course not. It took a lot of effort for me to become a spiritual envoy. I have no plans for marriage yet, so don't waste your time on me."
Qi Linfeng was slightly confused, "Why do you feel that he is talking about me? But, when did I have sex with Long Yuyun? I was so jealous that it got to my head... Although I don't mean big The lady is not good-looking, but are you kidding me? I, Qi Linfeng, have never seen any beautiful women before. I still have my own bottom line. As the old saying goes, I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. This kind of evil will harm future generations. I won’t do anything like that..."
Zhou Cangying obviously didn't want to give up. While keeping a close eye on the so-called pretty boys around him, she still said to Long Yuyun with a gloomy face: "Sister Yuyun, it's not that simple to regret the engagement of my Zhou family. You know, we The Zhou family has a problem with your royal family..."
"Shut up!!" Zhou Ji interrupted his words with a scolding look in his eyes. Obviously, at this time, Long Yi also realized the reason why Long Zhiyuan was so negotiable, and it must not be simple.
Zhou Ji bowed slightly, "Your Highnesses, you are so rude, just for the honor of the fifth lady, I think it is better not to break off the engagement so easily..."
"Oh? What does Patriarch Yizhou mean..."
Zhou Ji didn't seem to expect that Long Zhiyuan would follow his words and ask back. After thinking for two seconds, his eyes lit up, "I mean, if Miss Fifth is really unwilling to cancel the marriage, it's best to cancel it." There is a legitimate reason.”
"Master Zhou, are you deliberately favoring your son? My sister said she doesn't like him. Isn't this justifiable enough?!"
"In addition to the reasons, there is also a formal public occasion. It is best to be witnessed by many people. In this case, you don't have to worry about anyone daring to damage the fifth lady's reputation."
"Hmph, I don't think it's damaging my sister's reputation, but it's not insulting the reputation of your Zhou family~~"
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand... I am not..."
Long Zhiyuan immediately said: "Okay, what the Zhou family leader said makes sense, and this is indeed the best for the little sister. I just don't know what kind of occasion Zhou family leader thinks is considered to be witnessed by many people? Or should we find a time to organize an event together? A banquet?"
Zhou Ji waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. In fact, there is an excellent opportunity right now. In half a month, our Dragon Emperor Family's Dragon Son Competition will be held. Although the purpose is to train the children of all races within our Dragon Emperor Family, Inspection and ranking, but the other three royal families and various powerful families will also send representatives to watch the ceremony. At that time, the fifth lady and Quanzi can go to the arena to compete, as long as the fifth lady ranks among the young children of the family. If he is taller than Quanzi, then there is certainly enough reason to break off the marriage because Quanzi is not a good match..."
When Qi Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but call out Zhou Ji's scheming, "Good guy, this old man is very good at calculations. Although the eldest lady is now the Yuling Envoy, her strength is not as good as that of other children in the family." , but after all, it’s not long ago, the chance of getting a high ranking is not too big, and even if the eldest lady really gets a higher name than that fly, if the Zhou family’s marriage is blown, everyone will be able to get it by then. I feel that the eldest lady started to look down on the Zhou family as soon as she became more powerful, and the Zhou family themselves ended up being pitiful and seeking perfection. While making people feel distressed, the reputation of the fly would also be alleviated to a certain extent. How can this business be calculated? It won’t be a loss at all. If I had encountered this old fox before, I might have been really troublesome..."
But Long Yi is not a fool. Even if he can't guess all of Zhou Ji's little abacus, he can at least see half of it. "Huh! It's just a break from the engagement. Why bother? I also need my sister to join the family." Competition, compared with this fly? Do you still want to be shameless? My sister has only become a spirit master not long ago, and she is not even a junior spirit master. Your son is at least a junior spirit master. Mr. Zhou, you are so partial. It’s a bit blatant!”
Zhou Ji explained repeatedly with a bitter expression on his face, "No, no, no, Your Highness, I have not..."
Long Zhiyuan looked at Long Yuyun, and then said: "Okay! I think this method is quite good. The occasion is indeed formal and big enough to stop everyone's mouths."
"Brother! Why bother? Besides, what if my sister loses? Are you...?"
Long Zhiyuan did not explain, but looked at Long Yuyun and asked: "Little sister, you can decide for yourself. Although your third brother is right, it is a bit difficult for you to participate in the family competition now, but after all, you He is already a Yuling Envoy. According to the regulations of the family competition, all children who are under the age of weak crown must participate. My father and I have been considering this matter before, but now it is better. The two things are done together. Let’s do it, I hope you make a good decision.”
Long Yi never understood why his eldest brother, who was usually completely stern and fearless, was so unfaithful in front of the Zhou family today. Although he might not have a good impression of Long Yuyun, an incompetent sister, why? She said they are all her biological sisters. Is it necessary to stay in the Zhou family like this? "Sister, you don't have to agree. With Third Brother here, no one in the Dragon Emperor family can force you to do anything you don't want to do. At worst, we can just go back to the academy!"
But Long Yuyun surprised him. He stepped forward with a calm face and firm eyes: "Okay! I accept this appointment!"
