Chapter 16: Rejection of marriage contract

Hu Xiaotian sighed lightly and refused tactfully: "I should indeed give me a gift when I first met with my sister Yuqing. com is just this jade bracelet. It is of great significance and cannot be given to me easily. Please forgive me for my aunt and sister Yuqing." Not to mention whether you are guilty or not, he cannot overcome the level of Su Quan alone. Su Quan obviously has no plans to fulfill his engagement, and he is already suspicious and doubts about his identity. It is impossible to agree to marry his daughter to him. Why should he bring shame on himself? Su Yuqing is beautiful, but he is a daughter of a daughter, and he is a completely different type of person from him. Even if the two of them are combined, they will not be happy in the end. She should marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a luxurious and peaceful life, rather than following him and experiencing the bloody storm in the world.

Su Yuqing's whole body trembled, and the blood on her face instantly disappeared, as pale as snow, and the little bit of good feelings for him just now melted away.

Mrs. Su never dreamed that he would refuse politely and said in surprise: "Wentao, do you know what you are talking about? Is Yuqing not worthy of you?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "My sister Yuqing is beautiful and generous, she is a good friend, and she is a noble character. She is a beauty in all corners of the world. But her nephew has nothing, and she is really ashamed of herself and cannot afford to climb up. Her nephew only wants to gain fame and avenge her father, and she doesn't care about anything else."

Mrs. Su said anxiously: "But our two families originally ordered..."

Su Yuqing suddenly interrupted, "Mom, don't say anything more!" He slowly raised his head, and two sharp eyes as sharp as a sword shot on Hu Xiaotian's face, and said coldly, "Are I the kind of superficial woman who only values ​​family property in your mind?" There are men in this world who are unwilling to marry her, which is a great humiliation for her. It would be fine if she was ugly or was born an idiot, but it was the opposite! She really didn't understand what the other person was thinking in his head?

Hu Xiaotian avoided her gaze guiltily and said, "Of course not! But I am satisfied with being able to match your brother and sister, and I dare not have any extravagant hopes!"

Su Yuqing gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Do you think I want your jade bracelet? If you don't give it, don't give it! There are countless people in Lanzhou City who want to please me. As long as I speak, let alone a jade bracelet, there are people who are willing to give it to the entire mountain of gold!" He hated the man in his heart, and stomped his feet and left with his sleeves.

Hu Xiaotian looked at her pale face and trembling shoulders when she left. He knew that he had deeply hurt her self-esteem and couldn't help feeling deeply guilty. But if she didn't refuse the engagement immediately, she would suffer even more in the future! If this kind of thing is constantly broken, she will suffer from chaos. After all, the gap between the two sides is too far, and this is the most rational choice.

Mrs. Su saw them all leave in anger, and the other was confused, and said helplessly: "I really can't understand what you young people are doing! We had a good conversation, but why did we get into a quarrel? Wen Tao, isn't my daughter good?"

Hu Xiaotian lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, aunt! My nephew has a hidden secret, so it's not convenient to disclose it for the time being. You will understand my difficulties in the future."

Mrs. Su sighed: "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. If you need our help, you must tell it truthfully, okay?"

Hu Xiaotian was grateful and ashamed, and nodded vigorously.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Su, Hu Xiaotian led the way to a small courtyard where the Su Mansion specially received guests. Zhang Bo had already brought Yun Daier and placed it in a guest room adjacent to Hu Xiaotian. After the two met, Yun Daier was overjoyed and praised Hu Xiaotian for his great supernatural powers. He actually climbed into the relationship between the government and found such a safe hiding place.

Hu Xiaotian was in a bad mood and did not comment on her praise, saying, "Miss Yun, Lanzhou City is full of dangers, so you should not show up in public. If your Ming Cult reinforcements arrived in Lanzhou, it would be best for me to contact them. If there is any change, it will not be implicated in you. Do you have any tokens that indicate your identity? I need it to win the trust of the Ming Cult disciples."

Yun Daier looked at him steadily and asked softly: "Why are you trying your best to help me?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "Didn't I have already told the reason?"

Yun Daier shook her head and said, "You are not the kind of person who is easily moved by beauty! You must have other purposes for doing this! If you want to win my trust, you must first confess your identity and intentions. I don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark." The longer you come into contact with him, the more you feel his mystery and extraordinaryness, and the more curious he is.

Hu Xiaotian looked at her, clearly felt her wisdom and persistence, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are right. The first thing among allies is mutual trust, otherwise they will be in the same bed and have different dreams and will be defeated with one blow. In fact, I am not a scholar, but the fourth disciple of Xuanzong, the leader of the Divine Cult today!"

Yun Daier said in a lost voice: "You, you are the disciple of Xuanzong?!" Xuanzong is the number one master of the underworld, the dignified leader of the Demon Sect, and is famous all over the world. Who is not afraid of the heroes from all directions? Although she lives far away in the border areas of the Western Regions, she still knows a little about this hero who is mighty in the martial arts world. She frowned and said suspiciously: "No, it's impossible! Xuanzong is a master of martial arts, and his unique skills shock the world and the ghosts and gods. How could he have such an apprentice as you who doesn't understand martial arts? Are you lying to me?"

Hu Xiaotian said seriously: "I have no lie!" He told me about the fact that I was banned from practicing martial arts and was temporarily unable to use true qi. Finally, he said: "I am just banned at the moment, and my strength and energy cannot cooperate when I make a move. My martial arts are still there. If I don't believe it, just try it!"

Yun Daier said, "I'm just trying to do this!" He hit him as soon as he said that, swung his palms from left to right, and looked at him in front of him in a virtual and real way, and printed his chest, like a butterfly walking through a flower, which was dazzling.

Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly: "Good palm technique!" The servant flew right, his fist out like the wind, and hit the flaw under her strait like a huge hammer to break the city. The next move comes first, and the attack on the enemy must be rescued, which is an extremely clever trick.

The so-called expert will know if it is available when he stretches out his hand. Hu Xiaotian's move is as clever as it is. He uses simple to break the complexity and can never be used by a person with shallow martial arts cultivation. Moreover, his footwork is fast, his eyes, hands, waist, and legs are in place, his punches are strong and powerful, and his timing is just right, which shows that his basic skills are quite solid, and every move has been tempered. The most rare thing is that he calms down when making moves, reveals incomparable confidence, and his momentum is like a mountain towering, which is a realm that only a first-class master can possess.

When the two of them took action, they did not use their internal true energy. In a blink of an eye, they even dismantled several moves. No matter how Yun Daier changed her palm techniques or finger attacks, they were all repelled by Hu Xiaotian one by one. Yun Daier finally believed that Hu Xiaotian said was true and stopped and said, "I won't fight anymore, I believe you! I am not your opponent."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Miss Yun is polite. If you use your true energy when making moves, I can't even catch your move!"

Yun Daier said, "You don't need to comfort me! It's not embarrassing to lose to Xuanzong's disciples, not to mention that martial arts are not what I am good at. What I care about now is, what purpose do you have?"

Hu Xiaotian said slowly: "It's very simple, I want to form a secret alliance with you Ming Cult!"

"Secret alliance?" Yun Daier was shocked and said in surprise: "Is this possible? I'm afraid the leaders of both factions will not agree!"

Hu Xiaotian said, "You heard it wrong. It's because I want to form an alliance with the Ming Cult, not the Divine Cult and the Ming Cult. These are two completely different things!"

Yun Daier said: "The strengths of the two parties that have formed an alliance should be almost the same. Why should you negotiate terms with us Ming Cult?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "You are completely correct. I am indeed not qualified to negotiate with you at the moment, but if I have enough strength in the future, will you consider becoming my ally? Please consider my proposal carefully and think about it before replying to me. This is crucial to you and me!"

Yun Daier's eyes rolled and she said, "What if I don't agree to form an alliance with you?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Even if you don't agree, I will help you escape the danger until you return to the Ming Cult's headquarters safely." After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "But I will look for other allies, such as the Fearless Living Buddha of the Huang Cult. I believe that there are more than one Ming Cult's gangs in the northwest. Miss Yun is a smart person, so I don't need to explain the pros and cons in detail, right?"

Yun Daier took a breath and looked at Hu Xiaotian again as if she had known him for the first time. She smiled bitterly: "Young Master Hu has a lot of ambitions! This matter is too much to do, and I cannot decide by myself. I have to discuss with other elders of the accomplice before making a decision. Moreover, before we make a decision, I hope you can show the strength you have!" Hu Xiaotian's meaning was very clear. He either became his ally or his enemy, and there was no third way to go. If the Ming Cult gave up the opportunity to form an alliance with him, once he and the Huang Cult join forces, it would seriously threaten the foundation of the Ming Cult. However, if he formed an alliance with him, he would have to take great risks. If he was charged with the crime of "anxious devil sect", the Ming Cult will be discredited in the world!

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Your request is not too much, it should be so!"

Yun Daier took off a ruby ​​ring in her hand and handed it to him, "This is the 'holy ring' passed down from generation to generation in my religion. The mantra of my Ming Cult is engraved on the surface, and there is only one in the world. If you meet someone in my religion, you can show the 'holy ring' and they will trust you after seeing it."

Hu Xiaotian carefully hid it close to his body and said solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as I have a breath, this ring will never fall into the hands of others!"

In the evening, Su Quan returned from the government office and sent someone to invite Hu Xiaotian to have dinner together. Hu Xiaotian was actually most worried about Su Quan exposes his fake identity and even implicates Yun Dai'er. But now that things have come to this point, they can't hide. Anyway, they stretch their heads and shrank them. Let's see what the other party sold in the gourd. Now they have to dress up and follow the servant to the dining room.

The dining room was brightly lit, and there was an Eight Immortals table. In addition to the three members of the Su family, there was also a young man with a tall and pine figure and a majestic figure. He was seen as a square face in the national character, thick eyebrows like a knife, and a pair of tiger eyes flashing brightly. He was about twenty-year-old. He had wide shoulders, thick back, strong muscles, and thick finger bones. Although he sat on the chair casually, he still exuded a charm like a tiger and leopard. He was handsome and a tough and masculine handsome man, which was completely different from the handsome and elegant style of eagle.

Hu Xiaotian was firmly attracted by the man when he stepped into the door. He was amazed in his heart. This man was definitely a master among masters! His awe-inspiring and free demeanor could not be imitated no matter how he had no ban on merit and fought with this man, probably the winner was only between the front line! There were really hidden dragons and tigers in the Su Mansion. What kind of ability does Su Quan have? He actually recruited so many masters?

The man turned his eyes and looked at Hu Xiaotian coldly. His momentum suddenly became strong, and the powerful and invisible pressure quickly rushed over. Hu Xiaotian felt that the air around him suddenly became cold, as if a thousand pounds of huge rocks were pressing on his shoulders, his chest was suffocated, and he almost sat down to the ground. The true energy blocked in the acupoints everywhere was ready to move, and he actually responded! He thrust his waist and resisted the huge pressure. He wondered, who was this man? Why was he full of hostility and deliberately wanted him to make a fool of himself on the spot?

Su Quan coughed lightly at the right time, and the man removed his skills in disappointment and turned his head as if nothing had happened. Su Quan waved his hand and smiled, "Wen Tao, come and sit here, don't be restrained. Where is your friend?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "My friend is in poor health and cannot come to have a meal tonight. I ask me to apologize to my uncle and aunt and apologize to you another day!" Yun Daier is a Hu girl from the Western Regions and is too beautiful, so she is really inconvenient to appear on such occasions, so she had to find an excuse for her to avoid it.

Su Quan said, "Since that's the case, I'll send him some other food!" He pointed to the young man and said, "Wen Tao, this is my adopted son Su Haoran. He is a little older than you, so you are closer."

Hu Xiaotian hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother Haoran, I am polite! My brother is so majestic and has a strong reputation. He must be a person who calls the wind and rain in Lanzhou City. I first arrived at the noble place and was not familiar with the place. I hope you will take care of it in the future."

Su Haoran's face was a little softer when he was so tender, and he said ignorantly: "I am not an adopted father, how can I take care of you?"

Hu Xiaotian has a very deep skill in cultivating his mind and cultivating his nature. Of course, he would not be angry because of this. He smiled calmly and sat down calmly. After sitting down, he looked up and saw Su Yuqing with a frosty face opposite him. His hatred eyes made people dare not look at each other. Hu Xiaotian complained secretly. It seems that Miss Su would not forgive him! He avoided Su Yuqing's gaze awkwardly and asked Su Quan: "Uncle Su, is there any matter that you ask you today?"

Su Quan said: "What's the difficulty of this little thing? I have obtained the consent of the prefectural master. You will go to the government office to work with me in two days! If you have real talents and can pass the examination of the prefectural school and become a student, once you have the chance, I will try my best to recommend you."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Please rest assured, uncle, my nephew will not slander your face!"

At this time, the servants brought the wine and food one after another. After three rounds of wine, Su Haoran suddenly raised his glass and took the initiative to say to Hu Xiaotian: "Young Master Xia, we will meet for the first time, I will give you a glass!"

Hu Xiaotian said: "I dare not, I should be tribute to you first! Please!" After that, he raised his glass to greet him. Su suddenly saw Su Haoran's sleeves slightly bulging, his fingers and wrists tight, and he had secretly used his internal strength! He was shocked and knew that the other party was taking this opportunity to test and understand whether he had internal strength to protect himself. However, his true energy had been banned, and there was no need to deliberately conceal it, and the other party could not test any secrets. He was cheating and still clinking glasses with Su Haoran.

The two glasses clashed with each other, and a slight sound of the waves, the wine glass in Hu Xiaotian's hand was immediately shattered, and the wine splashed all over him. Hu Xiaotian exclaimed with a scream and couldn't help but fall backwards.

"Be careful!" Su Haoran stretched out his right hand like lightning and hooked Hu Xiaotian's shoulder. A strand of internal true energy swam in his body quickly and incompetently, then quietly took it back, and said with apologetically: "Young Master Xia, I'm sorry! I accidentally used too much force just now, didn't I scare you, right?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "This is purely an accident and has nothing to do with Brother Haoran! It's because I didn't sit firmly, so I made you laugh!"

Su Yuqing murmured: "It's useless to not even sit steadily!"

Su Haoran smiled and said, "Young Master Xia is a scholar, full of knowledge, and he is incomparable to martial arts like us! Qing'er, I heard that Rong Baozhai had just bought a batch of exquisite gold and silver jewelry from Jiangnan. Will I accompany you tomorrow?"

Su Yuqing's eyes suddenly shone and she smiled and said, "Okay! But it's not just a glance. You have to prepare enough silver notes!"

After a try, Su Haoran found out that Hu Xiaotian had no real energy in his body. He believed that he could not do martial arts. He looked more and more disregarded him, and talked and laughed with Su Yuqing, and had a close expression. Although Hu Xiaotian did not have the idea of ​​marrying Su Yuqing, he saw her chatting and laughing with other men with his own eyes. He knew he was not supposed to, but he couldn't help but feel jealous. Su Yuqing seemed to be deliberately neglecting him and did not say a word to Hu Xiaotian all night, thinking he was like a transparent person and turned a blind eye. Although the supper was rich, Hu Xiaotian was tasteless, as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Finally, he finally waited until the end and immediately took a hurry to leave.
