Chapter 147 I do
The night wind blew, bringing with it bursts of coolness.
Cheng Shuyan shuddered, feeling unwilling, but as Zhao Ziyi said, she had no choice.
Xuanfeng Sect threatened the Cheng family, so she had no choice but to compromise.
"Oh, a famous and upright family!" She snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
"Friend Zhao, I agree to your deal. Tell me, what did Xie Jingxiu say?"
Zhao Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief visibly when he saw that she finally agreed.
This matter was a huge risk for him. If he guessed wrong, Cheng Shuyan did not want to kill Xie Jingxiu.
Or maybe Cheng Shuyan didn't dare to attack Xie Jingxiu because of the strength of Xuanfeng Sect and his feelings for Cheng Huaixu and others.
If Cheng Shuyan leaked what he said tonight, it would be enough to destroy him several times.
He cleared his throat, his tone became much more relaxed, and said to Cheng Shuyan:
"Do you still remember that when we first met, you asked Cen Pianpian to say hello to Xie Jingxiu on your behalf, which became one of the evidences of your admiration for him.
You two were trapped together in Yaowang Valley, living alone together for two years. Love had already grown between you, but you were concerned about his engagement with your sister, and always acted out of affection and restraint.
It was not until the male cultivator named Lin Yuan unexpectedly broke in that he became determined to be with you. However, Lin Yuan always had bad intentions towards you, so he attacked Lin Yuan.
And you blamed him for never making a promise to you because he was engaged. When you saw him attacking Lin Yuan, you sided with Lin Yuan and accidentally injured him."
"what!"
After hearing what Zhao Ziyi said, she just felt it was absurd!
"Such a flimsy lie, yet your sect leader actually believed it? He didn't even ask me, one of the parties involved?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Zhao Ziyi looked at her with a meaningful look.
"Xie Jingxiu developed an inner demon because of you. He wanted you, so the Sect Leader granted his wish.
Once you marry into the Xuanfeng Sect and Xie Jingxiu gets what he wants, there will be no need for you to live anymore.
At that time, you only need to announce to the public that you died suddenly due to a demonic possession during cultivation, and then give the Cheng family some compensation. For the sake of the overall situation, the Cheng family will naturally not make too much of a fuss. "
"What about you? Since the leader of your sect asked me to marry him, when do you want me to die?" Cheng Shuyan continued to ask.
Zhao Ziyi came to kill her under Cen Pianpian's orders. Given Cen Pianpian's feelings for Xie Jingxiu, she would never tolerate Cheng Shuyan marrying Xie Jingxiu smoothly.
But Cheng Shuyan is now under the protection of the Cheng family. If she dies inexplicably in the Cheng family, it will not be difficult to find the murderer Zhao Ziyi.
By then, we can follow the clues and easily catch her, the real culprit behind the scenes.
Cen Pianpian was not so stupid as to let Zhao Ziyi kill her in the Cheng family.
Now that things have come to this, Zhao Ziyi naturally would not hide anything from her anymore and told her his plan in detail.
"According to the plan, I will find a way to poison you. The heart-breaking poison will not kill you immediately, but it will erode your heart veins bit by bit.
The higher your cultivation level, the faster it erodes. If one day you break through to the Jindan stage, that will naturally be the day you die."
"now what?"
"Now...Fellow Daoist Cheng, all you have to do is follow this plan."
……
When Cheng Shuyan returned to the reception room, Cheng Huaixu and his wife were both filled with anger. If Elder Zhao had not represented the Xuanfeng Sect, they would have wanted to stab him to death.
"Zhao Changfeng! My two daughters are not your Xuanfeng Sect's playthings! You can't insult them like this!"
Cheng Huaixu's tone was furious, but Elder Zhao was not annoyed. He still smiled and said, "Master Cheng, why are you so angry? It's all about marrying your daughter, so marrying either one is not the same.
Think about the glory of your Cheng family. If such a trivial matter ruins the future of the Cheng family, how will you apologize to your ancestors? "
"Even if I die as an apology, I will never let you humiliate my daughter like this!"
Cheng Huaixu was extremely indignant, and Jian Qing also glared at Elder Zhao, wishing he could eat his flesh and blood.
Cheng Lingshu stood aside, his face showing no sadness, but full of hatred.
She had no feelings for Xie Jingxiu, and she got engaged to him only because the Cheng family needed a woman of status for marriage.
She couldn't bear to see her parents in trouble, so she took the initiative to agree to the marriage.
I didn’t expect that the people from Xuanfeng Sect would be so shameless!
In the past, they used the safety of the Cheng family to force the Cheng family to marry into the Xuanfeng Sect, and now they are forcing her sister to marry in a different marriage with the same reason. How can she not hate them?
"The glory of our Cheng family will be fought for by us, the younger generations! There is no need for the Xuanfeng Sect to worry about it.
Senior Zhao, since your sect's Daoist Xie has no intention of marrying me, why not just let it go? As for my sister, there's absolutely no chance for her..."
Before Cheng Lingshu could finish her words, Cheng Shuyan walked into the reception room and interrupted her.
She bowed to Cheng Huaixu and his wife, who were sitting above her, and said, "Father, Mother, I have thought it through. I am willing to be engaged to Xie Jingxiu. I ask Father, Mother, and my sister to approve of this."
After saying that, she looked at Cheng Lingshu with an apologetic look on her face and expectant eyes.
"Sister, you...it's impossible. This is not what you really mean, right?" Cheng Lingshu said in disbelief.
She knew that Cheng Shuyan had murderous intentions towards Xie Jingxiu, so how could Cheng Shuyan be willing to marry Xie Jingxiu!
unless……
Cheng Lingshu was suddenly shocked!
Could it be that my sister wants to take advantage of this opportunity?
Pretending to be engaged to Xie Jingxiu, but actually waiting for an opportunity to kill him?
"No! Sister, you can't!" She quickly objected.
This is too dangerous. Regardless of whether it will implicate the Cheng family, as long as Cheng Shuyan kills Xie Jingxiu, Xuanfengmen will definitely not let her go.
Cheng Lingshu couldn't just watch her die!
Seeing her like this, Cheng Shuyan knew what she was thinking about and comforted her softly, "Lingshu, do you believe me? I will be fine, don't worry."
"Mingshu, don't worry. There's no need to compromise yourself for the so-called future of the Cheng family. We, as parents, will take care of these things. We will never trade your life for a woman like you!"
Jian Qing walked over to her, gently took her hand, and spoke in a firm tone.
She was both trying to persuade Cheng Shuyan and expressing her attitude to Elder Zhao.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuyan held her hand and said softly, "Mother, I did this voluntarily. Don't worry, I didn't wrong myself."
"Haha! If that's the case, then this is the best outcome, Patriarch Cheng. Now Mingshu has figured it out himself.
Since it is her own wish, Master Cheng doesn't need to worry about anything else, right? Don't worry, we will definitely not let Lingshu suffer any injustice. "
Cheng Huaixu frowned and stared at Cheng Shuyan for a long time. After seeing the determination in her eyes, he finally nodded in agreement.
This absurd marriage exchange was thus decided.
