Chapter 199: Chapter 0199: Is There a Need to Hold an Engagement Banquet?

Wow!

The two black-clad bodyguards of the Xu family.

Were stationed at the gate to stand watch.

They were already in a bad mood.

Inside the Flowing Light Manor’s hall, how splendid it was.

Rich and powerful, noble ladies.

These are all resources!

But, the Xu family arranged it so.

They had to obey.

In their hearts, naturally very unhappy.

Now, there’s actually a kid telling them to get lost.

The anger in their hearts exploded instantly.

"Bro, a ready-made punching bag, shall we?"

One of the bodyguards sneered.

"A little activity is good too."

The other one cracked his knuckles loudly.

Clearly, the two couldn’t suppress the anger in their hearts any longer.

"Heaven has a path you won’t take, hell has no gate yet you force your way in."

Ye Qingfeng’s voice, cold as ice, rang out.

The two bodyguards just took a step toward him.

Ye Qingfeng’s hand moved like a blade, slashing toward their necks like a shadow.

"Crack!!"

The sound of snapping bones echoed.

It was the sound of throat bones shattering.

The two bodyguards couldn’t even see how Ye Qingfeng made his move.

But felt excruciating pain in their throats.

Looking down, the shattered throat bones pierced through the skin, puncturing the carotid artery.

Blood spurted.

The throat is meant for breathing.

Usually, a slight carelessness could cause choking.

Let alone now, with shattered throat bones, ruptured arteries.

A large amount of blood blocked the airway.

Instantly, the two bodyguards clutched their throats with wide eyes.

Couldn’t even scream in time.

Yet, Ye Qingfeng’s eyes didn’t even lift.

Stepping over their corpses.

Heading inside Flowing Light Manor.

He walked in.

A greatly shocked An Ruoqing, covering her red lips.

This time, she was genuinely scared.

Did Ye Qingfeng just kill someone?

Normally, at school, at most, he’d fight off bad students.

Injuries were always minor.

But now, Ye Qingfeng killing people is like slaughtering chickens.

No mercy.

But, An Ruoqing had no time to be shocked.

With trembling, beautiful legs.

Followed him.

Ye Qingfeng and An Ruoqing entered the Flowing Light Manor hall without attracting any attention.

Because, at this time, everyone’s gaze was on the radiant Bai Wan’er and Xu Qian.

The two were the protagonists tonight.

Moreover, the wealthy and powerful in Jiangnan City understood.

This gathering at Flowing Light Manor.

Was also to unite everyone against the Song Family.

Further expanding the Xu family’s influence.

"Thank you everyone for taking the time to come to my engagement banquet today. With everyone’s witness, I, Xu Qian, am entering another important stage in my life."

Xu Qian laughed heartily.

The whole person appeared high-spirited.

This time returning from Monster Beast Desolate City, not only was his strength enhanced.

But also being groomed as a successor in the Xu family.

He and Xu Dian, one inside, one outside.

Xu Dian will continue training at the Ancient Martial Arts Hall, seeking the peak of martial arts.

While he manages the Xu family, leading it, continuously developing to become one of the top families in Jiangnan City.

This was the recent strategy formulated by the Xu family.

Therefore, the Xu family needed to use the Song Family as a stepping stone.

To expand influence and seize the resources that belonged to the Song Family.

As for the Hong Family and the Luo Family, giving them some soup is enough.

In the future, when the Xu family’s influence is overwhelming, destroying the Hong Family and Luo Family is not out of the question.

Xu Qian’s statement naturally received the approval of many wealthy and powerful individuals.

Each presented their gifts.

"Wan’er, let’s exchange rings and serve tea to the parents!"

Xu Qian wrapped his arm around Bai Wan’er’s waist, smiled gently.

The parents Xu Qian referred to were naturally Bai Gang and Fang Meilian.

Yet Xu Qian’s father, Xu Shanhe, did not appear.

Obviously, the Bai Family was not held in esteem by Xu Shanhe.

"Xu Qian, how can you be so despicable, so low?"

Bai Wan’er gritted her teeth, whispering a hateful curse.

"Despicable, low? Look at how gratified your father and mother appear!"

Xu Qian pointed to Bai Gang and Fang Meilian sitting on chairs nearby.

Chucked with a smile.

But, at this moment, Bai Gang looked furious, a mix of anger and powerlessness on his face.

While Fang Meilian, seated in the chair.

Looked weak and dispirited.

If not for the maid supporting her from behind, she might fall at any moment.

It was evident, something was done to Fang Meilian by the Xu family.

In fact, worshipping the parents was just a formality.

"Brother Bai, congratulations, your daughter marrying into the Xu family, your career will be smooth sailing, ascending like a soaring dragon."

"Indeed, Xu Qian from the Xu family is a martial arts genius, he might become the leader of the Xu family in the future, how fortunate your daughter is!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! In the future, in Jiangnan City, we hope for Brother Bai’s generous support."

Around Bai Gang were many wealthy and powerful individuals, as well as political figures.

Each of them smilingly congratulating Bai Gang.

To this, Bai Gang only felt a surge of anger.

Previously, when he asked these people for help, upon hearing he was in difficulty with the Xu family.

These high-status individuals in Jiangnan City shut him out.

And now, they have the face to say such things.

Truly shameless.

But, Bai Gang’s greater hatred now was directed at the Xu family.

For the Xu family to obtain his daughter, they dismantled his family into fragments.

His wife was bound, suffering endless hardship.

And he was powerless to help.

Now, he had become his daughter’s weakness, threatened by the Xu family.

Forcing Bai Wan’er to have no choice but to marry Xu Qian.

For the first time, Bai Gang felt utterly powerless.

Fang Meilian’s face was also clouded with worry, tears streaking her cheeks.

Her throat moved, trying to speak.

But no words could come out.

She looked extremely pitiful.

Children are the flesh and blood of their parents’ hearts.

It was imaginable the level of heartbreak Bai Gang and Fang Meilian were feeling.

But now that things were settled, who could stop it?

"We’re getting engaged, don’t make things difficult for my parents anymore."

Sensing the hand on her waist making suggestive movements, Bai Wan’er felt extreme disgust.

But what could she do?

She could only compromise, marry Xu Qian.

In exchange for peace for their entire family.

"Of course!"

Xu Qian smiled calmly.

Then he leaned his lips close to Bai Wan’er’s ear.

Speaking softly: "But tonight, you must stay in my bed, at my... disposal."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Xu Qian’s mouth, whispering a line only audible to the two of them.

"You..."

At those words, Bai Wan’er’s body trembled, her face indignantly angry.

But considering her current predicament, what could she do?

Should she continue to let her parents endure the pain and suffering?

Bai Wan’er’s beautiful eyes lowered, her body seemed to lose its strength.

Obviously, she had already submitted.

...

"Hey! Who are you, if you want to pay respects to Mr. Xu, at least show some etiquette!"

"What do you mean, wearing all black to Mr. Xu’s engagement party is bad luck, isn’t it?"

"Where is this guy from? Get out, Flowing Light Manor isn’t a place for any random person!"

At the outer perimeter of Flowing Light Manor, disciples of the Three Great Families looked at the suddenly appearing figure.

Each one started cursing.

"Do you think this engagement party is necessary to hold?"

An extremely calm voice was heard.

Ye Qingfeng continued walking slowly.

His eyes still not lifting.
