Chapter: 1449

He spoke up to this point, and even a big, bold man like him had a faint blush on his face as he lowered his voice:

"I've heard that Yue Xiang is still waiting at home, relying solely on the thick bond of memories. If I come knocking, it would be great if we could form a bond... there's no telling what good might come from it."

He patted his chest as if to fill in the silence:

"What can't be said, this young master has been waging war on all sides for these years, slaying demons by the hundreds, and this invitation... will surely please my seniors!"

"This..."

Li Xuan announced with a pause, then turned his head slightly to gaze at the white-clad girl. Her pair of vermilion eyes straightened out, looking directly at him, an eye contact that was almost too familiar, like a lightning bolt striking his cheek, making his face numb and his legs weak.

Li Xuan stopped in his tracks, appearing to be lost in thought. The wisps of white hair he had scattered on his head fluttered gently in the wind, his facial wrinkles subtly trembling, as if he hadn't noticed what he was saying at all, with a giant's face looming before him.

Her round apricot eyes looked stubbornly endearing, her pair of intelligent eyes straightening out and staring directly at him. A faint whispery voice floated in my ear:

"Brother... are you thinking of marrying me off to Chen Donghe?"

-----------------

Ruan Shi Cheng Du only thought he was thinking, but Li Xuan's eyes were completely unfocused, his old face sagging, his breathing slightly heavy, as if he had awakened from a dream. He raised his head and whispered: "Ah... this matter... I'll ask Xianger."

He finished speaking and quietly stepped back half a step, revealing an air of exhaustion typical of the elderly. Ruan Shi Cheng Du was taken aback and looked at the girl beside him.

The girl's gray-black eyes revealed Li Yuan Jiao's color, her facial features were charming, but what attracted attention most was her pair of inheritance from her mother's vermilion eyes.

He directly faced those vermilion eyes, which shone brightly with power, without a hint of fear due to his being the renowned foundation-builder of Jiangnan. Instead, he seemed calm and peaceful.

"Good madam."

Ruan Shi Cheng Du's heart trembled, then saw Li Yue Xi whisper: "I don't know what kind of temperament your esteemed nephew has? What kind of cultivation is it? How old is he?"

Ruan Shi Cheng Du sighed: "He's nearby, but he was young when his mother passed away and I had little opportunity to teach him. In our tribe, he received some injustices, so his personality is somewhat weak... although it's good-natured."

This Hanzi is speaking the truth and doesn't mention any strengths, instead pointing out his character flaws, which unexpectedly caused Li Yue Xi to look at him with high regard, she said softly: "As the saying goes, 'a tiger father has no dog son.' I won't make a hasty judgment... perhaps it's better if you bring your nephew here to gaze at the moon lake, and let me walk with him around the lake while we talk carefully."

Ruan Shi Cheng Du hesitated slightly, Li Yue Xi continued smoothly: "If this doesn't work out, your nephew can also learn some magical arts in my home until his seniors return and then bring him back."

Ruan Shi Cheng Du was startled by this girl's sharpness; Li Yue Xi's words hit the mark, which really moved him. He thought to himself: "This kind of woman can keep me whole... no wonder when Shen Ji Qing wanted to marry Xue Lian to a Li family daughter, and later father-son pair from the Xue family died at Wuyi Mountain but still managed to stabilize their footing... the Li family's teachings are indeed good!"

Ruan Shi Cheng Du had dealings with the Xue family of Wuyi Mountain; in the past, Shen Tian could have married his sister, but was taken by Shen Ji Qing's actions and instead married Li Qing Xiao. Ruan Shi Cheng Du didn't understand at the time, as he was young then and just felt resentful.

"I'm a big family with over 300 years of history, what can compare to the Li family?"

Now that I look at it, Ruan Cheng Du has finally understood Shen Ji Qing's feelings; he fell silent for a moment and spoke in a soft voice:

"I don't have much time left, waiting for my child to arrive. I've already arranged the marriage, leaving the dowry here. If you really don't like it, you don't need to force it. This dowry is my gift to your noble family!"

He finished speaking and gestured with his large hand, revealing a large stack of jade boxes in the middle of the hall, accompanied by the sound of instruments falling to the ground, most of which were crafted by tribes using primitive methods. JrNovels.com
