"The second lady is waiting for the patriarch in the hall." The domestic servant replied as his body continued to uncontrollably tremble. His eyes were filled with fear, the Meng Quan just now was just too terrifying.
Meng Quan's expression became serious, and without any hesitation, his figure flashed, and instantly disappeared into the distance, his destination unknown.
And at this time, in the Meng Mansion's main hall, Meng Hongxue was sitting upright on a chair, her delicate eyebrows knitted together, as if she was worrying about something. Finally, she stood next to her, and in front of her, a young girl was smiling brightly.
The lady was called Meng Yulan, she was the daughter of Uncle Meng Hongxue, in name, she was the young miss of Meng Family.
Qin Xuan was also in the hall, but he was only standing in the corner. After all, he was currently a domestic servant with a low status, so it was Elder Luo's special treatment for him to be able to enter the hall.
"Hong Xue, Master Feng Xiaotian likes you that much, this is a good thing that others can't even dream of! You must use this chance well, if Meng Family is able to get married with you because of this, you will be the meritorious general of Meng Family." Meng Yulan smiled, but that smile, made people feel like it was fake.
However, Meng Hongxue didn't even look at him, as he was pondering about other things in his heart, which caused Meng Yulan's expression to freeze, making him look extremely ugly.
Qin Xuan looked at Meng Yulan and felt that he was extremely hypocritical with just a glance. He clearly wanted to force Meng Hongxue to marry into the Feng Family, yet he spoke in such a grand tone.
Seeing that Meng Hongxue was not moved by his words, Meng Yulan opened his mouth once again: "Young Noble Feng is the number one genius in Long Peaks City, and not long from now, he will enter Warring Dragon Sect's internal sect, and is definitely a dragon amongst men. If you follow him, you will never be able to enjoy prosperity in the future.
A trace of displeasure flashed through Meng Hongxue's beautiful eyes. She looked at Meng Yulan and said rather coldly: "If Big Sister Yulan wants to marry him, the family would probably agree, right?"
She knew that Meng Yulan's true intention was to force her to marry into the Feng Residence. In this way, she would become the only pure bloodline of the Feng Residence, and in the future, she would be able to control the entire Meng Family.
From a certain point of view, she was doing it for Meng Yulan.
Although Meng Hongxue was kind and did not want to fight with others, he would not allow himself to be bullied for nothing, much less sacrificing his own future.
Meng Yulan's expression immediately froze, her face instantly darkened, as though everything from before was just a feint, and she said coldly: "I advise you to go to the Feng Residence as soon as possible, and not anger Young Noble Feng, or else you will suffer."
"Sister Lan, don't say too much. You and I can't make the decision. There's no need to be in such a hurry." Meng Hongxue said indifferently, her tone extremely cold, clearly not wanting to waste any more words. Meng Yulan forcing her to do so had already made her feel extremely disgusted.
You … How dare you speak to me in such a tone! " Meng Yulan's eyes became vicious, like a venomous snake staring at Meng Hongxue. She looked extremely ferocious, without any trace of the refined temperament of a lady from a noble family.
It was hard to imagine that a woman born into a large clan would reveal such an ugly expression.
Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, a wave of soul power quietly swept out, if Meng Yulan dared to attack, Qin Xuan did not mind making her suffer a little.
"What? She can't speak to you like this, so can you treat her like this?" A cold voice rang out from the void, carrying a hint of anger within.
Qin Xuan's heart trembled, and instantly retracted the soul power. The voice just now was definitely made by a king level expert, if the expert had sensed it carefully, it was extremely possible that he would have sensed his soul power.
The space in the hall shook as a imposing figure walked out with a powerful aura. It was Meng Quan.
However, at this moment, his complexion was quite unsightly, and a cold intent permeated his entire body. How could he be happy that his daughter was treated in such a manner?
"Father!" Seeing that Meng Quan had arrived, a hint of pleasant surprise appeared on Meng Hongxue's beautiful face. With light steps, she charged into Meng Quan's embrace.
Meng Quan dotingly caressed Meng Hongxue's head, his eyes filled with fatherly love, as he gently said. "Xue Er, it was hard on you, letting you work hard for such a long time."
Qin Xuan's gaze focused on the imposing figure in the center of the hall. In the Setting Sun Desert, Luo Li had told Qin Xuan about Meng Quan's achievements many times. He could also be considered a legendary figure.
At that time, the Meng Family was far from being as powerful as he was today, but under his management, he was constantly growing, and even reached the status of one of the Four Great Clans.
It was precisely because of this that everyone in Meng Family respected him, focusing on his will. With a single word, he would make tens of thousands of people follow him.
"We greet the Patriarch!" All of the domestic servant s bent down to pay their respects, their voices loud and clear, their expressions filled with reverence and yearning. Meng Quan was the god in their hearts, the sky above Meng Family.
Meng Yulan's face instantly paled, and the gaze she looked at Meng Quan with was a little fearful, as she stuttered: "Second Uncle."
"You still know that I'm your second uncle?" Meng Quan's tone turned cold and his eyes glared straight at Meng Yulan. After a few seconds of silence, he sighed: "Hong Xue is your cousin, you should have taken care of her, but what you said just now disappointed me greatly."
"I'm sorry, second uncle. Yulan knows her wrongs and won't dare to do it again." Meng Yulan said submissively, but in his heart he was thinking how unlucky he was to actually let Meng Quan see this scene.
"Patriarch, Yulan is very concerned as well. After all, she is thinking for the sake of the Meng Family." Another voice sounded. Everyone's eyes flashed as they looked in the direction of the voice. It turned out to be Meng Yulan's father, Meng Gang.
Seeing that his father had come, Meng Yulan immediately regained his confidence, his face returning to his arrogant look, with a proud expression, as he looked at Meng Hongxue arrogantly.
Meng Yulan shook his head slightly. Indeed, no matter where one looked, there would always be despicable and shameless people, and for Meng Family to have such a descendant, it was cold and heartless, and everything was done for her, truly a misfortune for her family.
Meng Quan turned to look at Meng Gang, a cold glint flashed past his eyes. The actions of the father and daughter in Meng Family had always been arrogant, and often looked down on his clan master.
And now that Meng Yulan had treated his daughter in such a manner, how could he endure for Meng Gang to even protect her?
His expression was still cold and detached, his gaze turned from Meng Gang as he said indifferently: "I hope that's the case. If there's a next time, he will definitely be heavily punished."
After these words were said, the complexions on both Meng Gang and Meng Yulan's faces changed, especially Meng Gang's, who was quite unhappy. In the past, Meng Quan did not care about it, but today, he became so powerful, and did not give them any face.
Yulan, did you hear what your second uncle said to you? Xue Er is destined to become a member of the Feng Family. Meng Gang suddenly looked towards Meng Yulan and berated, but his tone did not contain the slightest hint of anger.
Meng Yulan's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses. She looked at Meng Hongxue with a strange gaze and laughed softly, "Hong Xue, this time it's big sister's fault. I sincerely apologize to you.
"How shameless!" Qin Xuan looked at the father and daughter duo singing one on one, and was extremely speechless in his heart.
He said coldly: "Sister Yulan, you are wrong. I did not promise to marry into the Feng Family, instead, it was Sister Yulan who mentioned Feng Xiaotian many times. Her words contained a sense of adoration, and I wonder if he would want you?"
Once those words were said, the entire place went silent. Everyone present looked at Meng Hongxue in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Meng Yulan's and Meng Gang's faces alternated shades of green and white, and the lines on their faces seemed to twist together; it was extremely difficult to see.
Qin Xuan was also stunned, then he laughed, the usually calm and kind Meng Hongxue, was actually able to say such words, it seemed like she was completely enraged by Meng Yulan.
Meng Yulan wanted to speak, but a domestic servant ran into the hall anxiously and bowed to Meng Quan: "Reporting to patriarch, there is a person from Feng Family outside seeking an audience."
"The people from the Feng Family, they are well-informed!" Meng Quan laughed coldly, but he started to guess in his heart. had already sent people over the moment Hong Xue returned, what was her intention?
When Qin Xuan heard that someone from the Feng Family had come, he could not help but reveal a puzzled look.
Compared to the others who were worried, Meng Yulan and Meng Gang's feelings were the exact opposite. They were extremely happy that the Feng Family had finally arrived, and now, even if Meng Hongxue did not want to marry, she had to!
Meng Hongxue blinked her beautiful eyes and said slowly, "Feng Family should be here to propose marriage. Feng Xiaotian had sent people to ambush me at the edge of the sky in order to forcefully take me away.
"What did you say!" Hearing that, Meng Quan's body suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful aura, with roars of killing intent, he then shouted out with an extremely furious voice: "Let that man in front of us, I want to see, what exactly does Feng Family want to do!"
Very quickly, a middle-aged man was brought to the hall, his gaze sweeping across everyone present and upon seeing Meng Hongxue, his eyes flashed with a smile, and he cupped his fists towards Meng Quan: "Feng Family Feng Ao, on behalf of Feng Family, is here to pay a visit!"
"Just you alone?" Meng Quan frowned, the Feng Family had only sent one person to visit him, he did not even put the Meng Family in his eyes, and truly regarded himself as the number one clan.
Facing Meng Quan's forceful question, Feng Ao's expression did not change, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, an elder of Warring Dragon Sect descended upon Feng Family, so the Patriarch and Young Master have many matters to take care of, and cannot personally pay him a visit.
"Speak, why did I ask you to come?" Meng Quan could not be bothered and went straight to the point.
Feng Ao's lips curved up in a strange smile, and said: "My Young Master has specifically ordered me to inform the Patriarch that I hope to be able to marry Second Miss Meng Family and enter the Wind Hall within three days."
"What if I don't?" Meng Quan squinted, and spoke with an incomparably domineering tone.
What a joke, to get married within three days, did they think that their Meng Family was easy to bully?
If Meng Family wins, Feng Family will give up on the marriage. If he loses, I hope that Meng Family will abide by the agreement, or else my Young Master will come to visit together with the other two great families. " Feng Ao said with a smile, but there was a hint of contempt in the depths of his eyes.
