"Miss, I didn't have time to tell you before, but some news came from the family."
Faced with Nicole's question, Sean smiled and then said.
Both he and the other party come from a powerful family in the Ming Dynasty: the Xiao family. At the same time, the Xiao family also has a high status within the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. It is one of the main controllers and is known as one of the four main lines.
In the eyes of many warriors from the outside world, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is also a familiar yet unfamiliar existence.
Although it is a sixth-grade force, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is not dominated by one family, but is controlled by four powerful seventh-grade families. These four seventh-grade families are Xiao, Jin, Long, and Gu. The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is also known as the Four Main Lines.
The four main veins have been supporting the development and operation of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce for many years, and they have continued to grow and grow. Even if any one of them is separated, it will not be underestimated in the Ming Dynasty and even in the southeast region.
Although the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce has many martial arts masters from all over the world, as well as guests at all levels, the four main clans headed by the Xiao, Jin, and Longgu clans have the most interests and the highest status in the Chamber of Commerce.
And the Sean and Nicole in front of them are both from the Xiao family, one of the four main lines!
As for Nicole, her surname is also Xiao. At the same time, she is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and is highly favored. Otherwise, she would not have a large group of martial arts masters under her command, and there is also Sean, a half-step martial arts master. .
"There's news from the family? What is it?"
Facing Sean's explanation, Nicole frowned slightly at this moment, and suddenly had a bad thought in her mind.
Although the other party was smiling all the time, she still saw something strange, as if the Sean in front of her was hiding something from her.
"Well, it's not the old thing about the engagement. Originally, the old man didn't want to talk to them, but the people of the Ye family pressed hard."
"Furthermore, the Jin family and the Long family within our chamber of commerce are also busy trying to find matchmakers, and they are under pressure from the other two main branches and the Ye family. The master has been really helpless during this time, so he let I'll come back and ask Miss what you think..."
After sighing, Sean shook his head, his expression helpless, as if he couldn't express his pain.
He originally didn't want to do this kind of unpalatable thing for both parties, but now he was a martial arts master sent by the Xiao family to protect the other party's safety. At the same time, Nicole was also the eldest lady of the Xiao family, so he had to deliver the personal instructions of the family head.
"Marriage contract? Didn't I already reject the marriage proposal from the Ye family and asked my father to send those people away! Why are they here again?!"
As if she had guessed something, Nicole's pretty face darkened at this moment, with a bad look on her face.
"I don't know. Things have turned around. The Ye family seems to have given up on proposing marriage. However, the attitude of the Ye family suddenly became tougher some time ago. It seems that the second prince personally gave the order and came to the door with gifts. Come aboard.”
Facing Nicole's rhetorical question, Sean also looked solemn, and then said slowly.
"In addition, the second prince also persuaded people from the Jin family and the Long family in the chamber of commerce to go to the matchmaker to show his sincerity."
"This time, no matter how sloppy the master is, he can't deal with these people. After all, the second prince is backed by the royal family and the Ye family. Even the World Chamber of Commerce can't compete, let alone our Xiao family, which is only one of the four largest chambers of commerce in the world. One of the main veins is difficult to support alone..."
The Ye family is the only one that controls the entire Ming Dynasty. It is also one of the few fifth-level forces in the southeast. Even though it has little reputation in the entire Eastern Continent, ordinary warriors simply do not dare to provoke it and are difficult to touch!
Therefore, facing the strong pressure from the Ye family, even seventh-grade families like the Xiao family were frightened and did not dare to turn against them head-on.
"These bastards! They are really shameless!"
"I have already left the family and gone to Black Rock City to be the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce's transactions, but I can't even get rid of them..."
"Does that guy Ye Jinglei think he can force this girl to give in... Haha, it's not that easy!"
Her teeth were clenched, and Nicole's originally delicate face became a little tense. Her beautiful hands were clenched tightly under the sleeves of her skirt, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger, as if she was on the verge of an attack. The person is very indifferent, even a little disgusted.
Seeing this scene, Sean on the side also looked helpless and shook his head repeatedly.
Ye Jinglei, the current second prince of the Ming Dynasty, is not only handsome and handsome, but also has unparalleled strength. He is well versed in the artistic conception of thunder. He is known as the Young Master Jinglei to the outside world. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, even the younger generation in the southeast region is ranked high. top talent.
However, Ye Jinglei also has a shortcoming, and that is that he is extremely lustful. As long as the woman he likes is, he will take it into the harem at all costs, even the women of his subordinates and close confidants. This kind of deeds have always been It was also widely spread by those warriors outside.
Therefore, Nicole naturally felt conflicted and even deeply disgusted with Ye Jinglei, who was lustful and promiscuous.
Faced with Ye Jinglei's proposal to propose marriage, Nicole refused outright at first, and did not hesitate to leave her family and run alone to Black Rock City near the desert border of Qatar, where she became an ordinary transaction leader of the World Chamber of Commerce.
"Miss, what are you going to do?"
Seeing Nicole's face turn green and red, with a hint of anger, Sean coughed a few times, and then tried again.
Although he also supported Nicole's refusal to marry, the other party was aggressive. He was the current second prince, and he had the support of the Ming royal family and the Ye family. However, he was only a small and half-step martial arts realm, and he could not make waves at all. .
Therefore, facing Ye Jinglei's forced marriage proposal, no matter how much he opposed it, supporting Nicole in front of him was in vain.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I have made my own decision on this matter..."
"Uncle Xiao, please go back to your family and tell your father and elders so that they don't have to worry."
"I will never agree to this engagement. If I marry a lecherous, shameless and shameless guy like Ye Jinglei, it would be better for me to commit myself to Fei Ren, who was born as a casual cultivator! At least that guy is still a man! "
Nicole snorted coldly again. At this time, Nicole's pretty face was slightly cold, and she folded her hands across her chest and said, as if she had made up her mind and had no intention of succumbing to the power of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
"Well, is it possible that the young lady is really attracted to that Fei Ren..."
"I hope it's just angry words..."
Hearing this, Sean stopped talking. A look of surprise flashed across his old face, and he thought to himself at the same time.
.....
Outside Black Rock City, in a deserted wilderness, green smoke slowly rose, and at the same time there was a fragrant smell of barbecue.
"Ah sneeze!"
After rubbing his nose, Fei Ren also put down the barbecue in his hand.
"Strange, why do I always feel like someone is talking about me..."
"Forget it, I have to go on the road after eating."
Glancing at the barbecued monster meat in his hand, Fei Ren also retracted his thoughts at the next moment. At the same time, he opened his mouth and took a big bite. The fragrant juice overflowed with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Now he no longer plans to stay in Black Rock City. After bidding farewell to everyone in the Lin family, he leans over to leave. As for where to go next, Fei Ren has not yet decided in his mind. Everything will have to wait until he is full.
After all, no matter how much a warrior cultivates Yuan Li, he is still a mortal body. Three meals a day are also essential, and the amount consumed is much greater than that of ordinary mortals.
