Zhou Chuanning paused for a moment, then said: "If you think like this, then you are wrong, if my silly little sister rejected the marriage, not only would it turn Yao Family and my Zhou Family's face upside down, it would also turn her into a person who would bring shame on her own back, I am worried for her future."

"Then do you think there's a better way?"

Luo Hao asked.

"Not at the moment, but not in the future. No one dotes on Xue'er more than I do. As long as she doesn't want me to help her, I will. However, this sort of thing isn't something that an outsider like you can meddle in."

"Ahh, this is truly depressing. Originally, someone wanted to invite me to drink wine, but now, it seems that I cannot easily leave this place?"

But after he finished speaking, Luo Hao lowered his head and thought. This indeed did not seem to have anything to do with him, but he had already promised Zhou Xueying before.

He looked up again, trying to make out the blurred face in the darkness.

"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, or rather, I am not interested in it at all, but this is a matter of principle. Regarding the promise I previously gave to Miss Zhou, I want it to continue."

"You should know that Xue'er wants you to be her shield."

"Yes, I understand, but so what?"

Luo Hao asked.

Zhou Chuanning no longer spoke, he merely held the hand in his back for a moment, then said: "I have to say that my sister did not find the wrong person, but since I know about this matter, I will not let you two children make trouble."

Hearing that, Luo Hao was a little angry, this time he was really angry.

"I'm not a child."

Luo Hao held the broken sword tightly.

This action, in Zhou Chuanning's eyes, made him smile: "I will try my best to give you a bit more."

"Also, I'm sorry."

Sorry?

Is it an apology for stopping me from doing this, or an apology for saying that I am a child?

Luo Hao hoped for the latter.

"Bring it on!"

Luo Hao wanted to ask, but felt that there was no point in talking anymore.

Finally, Zhou Chuanning brought out the hand from behind him. Only then did Luo Hao realise that he had been holding a dagger in his hand the entire time, and that dagger was extremely exquisite, and also … Luxurious, especially the dazzling gem on the handle … It was truly dazzling.

Luo Hao could not find any good words to describe the situation, he just felt that he did not understand the world of rich people, the Zhou family was indeed a big family.

Zhou Chuanning raised his dagger. The gem shined and a blue light blossomed.

Luo Hao slowly raised the broken sword in his hand. He raised the sword very slowly, but his speed was very fast.

The limestone began to tremble slightly, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the stone began to sway.

Suddenly, numerous sword images appeared, slicing through the darkness.

At the same time, Zhou Chuanning also moved. He used both hands to grab the dagger, one hand holding the sword hilt, and the other holding the sword sheath.

His right hand moved slightly, revealing a small blade.

But, he hesitated for a moment, and in the end, he did not pull out his sword, but Luo Hao's broken sword was right in front of him, and he did not even try to dodge it.

In the end, he struck out with his dagger and his scabbard.

From the fake mountain came a whooshing sound. The night wind stopped, and the wind from the sword blew.

Several strong sword winds clashed with the sword shadows coming from all directions. Muffled sounds rang out again and again. In an instant, the sword shadows scattered.

Luo Hao was naturally using the three-part sword, but he did not have any moves.

He had immediately used his strong spiritual energy to break Luo Hao's three-part sword.

Even though Luo Hao had already entered the Soul Strengthening Realm, he was only at the first level of strength. Furthermore, before Zhou Chuanning entered the Xunyao Mausoleum, he was at the second level of Soul Strengthening Realm, and after coming back, he had gained some insights and easily broke through to the third level of Soul Strengthening Realm. Thus, the gap between the two of them was extremely large.

Even Wang Chen, who he had fought previously, could not compare to Zhou Chuanning, so in the next moment, Luo Hao's expression changed, but he immediately changed the direction of his sword.

The two different sword winds clashed, the wind turned, and Luo Hao took the chance to enter, his figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye he once again rushed towards Zhou Chuanning from the side.

But just at that moment, a metallic sound rang out, and Zhou Chuanning pulled out the dagger. At the same time, dozens of sword sounds continued to ring out from the sword sheath.

Although the dagger was small, the force of the sword was great.

Zhou Chuanning stabbed out with his dagger, causing a sharp sword force to spread out in all directions. The shallow grass beneath the two's feet were cut off by the sword force, and then, it drew a long blade of grass in the air along with the sword wind.

The direction of the grass line was in the direction of the sword, and the move of the grass line was in the form of a sword.

However, Luo Hao had never seen such a sword move, and could not react for a while.

Suddenly, a few tiny dots of light appeared in the line formed by the grass. Luo Hao saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retract the broken sword in his hand.

However, there was no reason to retract his sword moves.

He could only force his way in!

The purple glow on the surface of the broken sword intensified as a purple beast silhouette emerged. This was the sword spirit of the broken sword, Dou Ling Ape King!

Luo Hao bellowed, the sword spirit suddenly froze, as though it was real, and with a roar, it immediately scattered the grass threads that were rushing in from all directions.

But Zhou Chuanning didn't care in the slightest.

After the grass line disappeared, a cold blade silently appeared.

As it turned out, the blade of the sword had always been hidden in the grass.

However, Luo Hao didn't notice it in the slightest.

Although Luo Hao had discovered it now, it was already too late.

Luo Hao's body froze, and then soared up into the sky.

However, the blade was extremely sharp.

The most important thing was that the sword's edge was extremely fast, at least faster than Luo Hao.

The blade of the sword turned in the air and then quietly slashed at Luo Hao's chest.

His clothes were still intact without any damage.

However, the tip of the sword had already left a deep cut on his chest.

Luo Hao groaned, his face suddenly turned pale white.

The hand that held the sword trembled slightly. His body remained stiff in the air for a moment before he flew backwards, falling straight into the small pond in the fake mountain.

In that short period of time, Luo Hao seemed to have lost consciousness, and blood slowly flowed out of his chest, staining his clothes red and staining the lake water red.

However, he didn't feel any pain nor was he able to move. He could only make his body continue to sink, as if there was no bottom to the pool at all.

Zhou Chuanning slowly sheathed the dagger, and then, stared fixedly at the small pond which was still rippling.

There was no movement, no expression, as if the youth's life and death no longer mattered to him.

After standing there for a long time, he turned his head and glanced in the distance, then walked in the direction that Zhou Xueying had left in.

Tonight's scene was very sudden and very quiet. No one knew, and no one would discover, that a youth had fallen into that small pond.

In the lobby of the Zhou Mansion …

Outside the door, it was as wide as the sky.

It was very quiet outside, and it was very lively inside.

The atmosphere was not that there was a clamor, but rather that there were a lot of people gathered in the hall.

The Zhou Mansion's main hall was not lit by candles, but it was very bright.

Because tonight, the walls of the hall were inlaid with many Night Pearls, dazzling and dazzling!

From just one point, it could be seen that the Zhou Family was huge in wealth, but compared to the Lingnan Yao Family, it was just like a small child's play.

However, precisely because the one receiving them was the Yao Family, only such treatment could match her.

Perhaps it was because the Night Pearls were bright enough, but everyone in the hall clearly showed their expressions.

There were two people sitting in the center of the hall. One of them had a sallow complexion, but the excitement and joy on his face could not be hidden. This person was the Zhou Family's Patriarch, Zhou Yiqun.

The other person looked very ordinary, his figure could not be considered tall, but there was a trace of formless might behind him. He was also wearing a set of grey linen clothes, and standing in the crowd, who could tell that he was from the Yao Family.

This person's name was Yao Tianheng, and he was the son of the current Patriarch of Yao Family, and also the father of the young master from Yao Family.

An old man sat by Yao Tianheng's side. He had an indifferent expression and had never looked at Zhou Yiqun, but from the looks of it, his position in Yao Family was even higher than Yao Tianheng.

This person was the Great Clan Elder of the Yao Family, and had a status that only belonged to the current patriarch of the Yao Family. Normally, even if Yao Tianheng saw him, he would bow down and greet him.

Only, Yao Tianheng could not understand why the patriarch of the Yao Family would ask the Great Clan Elder to propose marriage.

However, this was enough to prove that the old man really valued this marriage.

"I wonder how Old mister Yao is doing?"

Zhou Yiqun glanced at the Grand Elder of the Yao family and then asked Yao Tianheng who was beside him.

"My father is well."

Yao Tianheng returned.

Zhou Yiqun nodded, then nodded towards the corner of the darkness. At the side of the hall, a black shadow moved.

Following which, several beautiful maidservants walked in through the side door of the hall.

A few maids were holding snacks and snacks in their hands. The few ladies in the hall bowed to everyone before slowly placing the things in their hands on the table.

The maid withdrew.

The singing girl came again.

It had been a long time since the Zhou Mansion had been so lively and lively. To be precise, it had been a long time since the Zhou Mansion had received such an important guest.

In fact, tonight's attendance was not only limited to Yao Family's people, but also included a middle-aged scholar and a young couple. That middle-aged man was gentle and refined, more like a scholar who had read a lot of poetry.

The man and the middle-aged scholar looked somewhat alike. The woman was very gentle and quiet, and also very delicate and pretty. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as the mountains in the distance, and her face was like the peach blossoms of a month, like a lotus blooming in the water.

No matter how one looked at them, these people were definitely not ordinary people.

However, no one looked over here. Perhaps they were intentionally arranged to stay in such a dark and remote corner, so no one noticed!

After the singing and dancing ended, the food on the table was still as hot as before. However, no one touched the food on the table.

After the singer left, the hall returned to its initial silence.

Zhou Yiqun stood up and bowed to all the guests, then said a few words to welcome everyone.

Finished, Zhou Yiqun paused for a moment.

Everyone knew the real point.

"Mr. Yao, many years ago, my father and Mr. Yao engaged our daughter to be married to Young Master Ling. Today, we request Mr. Leica to be our witness."

With that, Zhou Yiqun smiled at the middle-aged scholar.
