Zero Soul Master

Chapter 10 Who cares about you!

break off an engagement?
Suddenly, in Xiao Bailian's mind, a memory about Xiao's family and Duanmu's family emerged.

40 years ago, Xiao Bailian's grandfather, who was the owner of Xiao's family at the time, is now Xiao Guofeng's father, had a good relationship with the head of Duanmu's family.Although the relationship between the two families has been relatively good for so many years, the relationship between the two Patriarchs was even comparable to that of the ancestors of the Xiao family.

At that time, the two patriarchs wanted to make the two families closer, so they had a very bloody agreement.

That is, if the children of both parties are male, they will become brothers of the opposite sex.If they are all women, they will become Jinlan sisters.In case the children of both parties are a boy and a girl, it will be a matter of course to form a husband and wife.

However, the world is impermanent, not long after, Xiao Bailian's grandfather died unexpectedly.At that time, Xiao Guofeng was still in the womb of Grandma Xiao Bailian, less than five months old.

This change can be said to have directly led to the gradual decline of the Xiao family.As for the Duanmu family, since then, their attitude has undergone subtle changes.

However, the old man of the Duanmu family is a man of temperament, and he has always wanted to maintain a good relationship between the two families for so many years.However, in the entire Duanmu family, there are not many people who think like him.Even just him alone!

Half a year later, Xiao Guofeng was born, as was the eldest son of the old man of the Duanmu family.According to the original agreement, the two eldest sons were to form brothers of the opposite sex.

Although the agreement was finally completed, the next generation of the two families did not have a harmonious relationship as expected by the old man of the Duanmu family.

At the same time, because the old man of the Xiao family left early, he didn't have time to teach his son Xiao Guofeng, which made the Xiao family weaker and weaker.On the other hand, the Duanmu family has grown stronger and stronger over the past few decades, and the entire family has reached its peak.

"Does Uncle Duanmu know about this?"

There was no trace of a smile on Xiao Guofeng's face, his expression was very cold, and his eyes were so sharp that it was impossible to look directly at him.That Duanmu Yunrou was able to look straight at each other, but at this moment she suddenly turned her gaze away, and her tone was even more vague.

"This matter has nothing to do with grandpa, it's my own business!"

As soon as these words came out, even Xiao Bailian, who felt that he was very innocent and an outsider, could tell that this girl must have made this decision without telling Mr. Duanmu.

How bold!Xiao Bailian wanted to praise him face to face!You must know that Phantom Soul Continent is still in a relatively conservative semi-feudal and semi-slavery society.In this continent, the children of the younger generation must obey the requirements of the parents of the elders!

This is especially true for some big families!
"This matter was the decision made by Uncle Duanmu and my father at the beginning. If the niece wants to divorce, then please ask the Duanmu family, Mr. Duanmu to speak up in person! If he speaks up in person, my Xiao family will never say anything else! Break off the engagement immediately!"

The more Xiao Guofeng spoke, the louder his voice became, and he could even hear the excitement in it.

And Xiao Bailian was on the side, his expression gradually turned cold.

From the memories of the second young master of the Xiao family in his mind, we can know that the old man of the Duanmu family has never forgotten the old love. When Xiao Li, the third generation of the Xiao family, was born, he once mentioned the agreement of the year.But at that time Xiao Guofeng thought that the Xiao family was no longer comparable to Duanmu's family and could not be compared to others, so Wanyan refused.

In fact, this was originally a good decision for you, me, everyone, but Mr. Duanmu is a stubborn old man.A few years later, when Xiao Guofeng's second son was born, he mentioned it again, and his attitude was firm. If the Xiao family still refused, then they would look down on Duanmu's family and his old man!Then break up!
In desperation, Xiao Guofeng agreed to this matter.However, in terms of the results, the marriage between the two families is of great benefit to the Xiao family, and Xiao Guofeng is secretly very happy about it.

But what is this now?
break off an engagement?
Actually proposed to divorce? !

Although the current Xiao Bailian is not the previous Xiao Bailian, even he has no interest in this kind of arranged marriage, and even opposes it!But this doesn't mean that Duanmu's family can come to her and propose to divorce her!
"Xiao Shibo! Does this matter have to be a big fight? Could it be that it can't be resolved in such an amicable and quick manner that both families will have conflicts?"

Duanmu Yunrou's face was flushed red, and her tone was slightly fierce, not caring at all that she was just a junior among the people present.

"Brother Duanmu, you also mean the same? Or is this what the Duanmu family means?"

At this moment, the only trace of luck in Xiao Guofeng's heart faded away, and he looked coldly at Duanmu Bote who was standing aside with an embarrassed expression.

"Brother Xiao, this matter...I think you should be clear about this matter. It was just the old man's wishful thinking at the beginning, and then the marriage contract was settled. At that time, everyone followed the old man's temperament, that is, they agreed verbally. Now Both parties have grown up, I see this matter..."

After talking about it, Duanmu Bote also blushed, and he himself felt that what he said was extremely shameless!But looking at the look in his niece's eyes over there, he couldn't help but say, it was so embarrassing to death.

"fart!"

Xiao Guofeng cursed suddenly, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, this man who had always been rough and bold finally stopped hiding his true temperament at this moment.

"Brother Xiao!" Duanmu Bote called out in embarrassment.

"Xiao Shibo, my niece is a junior, she shouldn't have spoken here, but my niece dared to explain everything here today!"

Duanmu Yunrou's eyes were firm, and after seeing that her uncle felt guilty and was not firm in speaking, she finally decided to explain it herself.

She glanced at Xiao Guofeng's side, Xiao Bailian, who was silent after entering, contempt and disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said casually, "My niece also heard about what happened back then from the elders in the family. I heard that grandpa proposed to get married at that time. Xiao Shibo Wanyan refused the request at first, but later grandpa brought it up here, and threatened to break off the relationship between the two families if he refused, Xiao Shibo reluctantly agreed. Isn’t it?”

Xiao Guofeng was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes! It's true."

"Well, since Shibo Xiao was not very willing to facilitate this matter from the very beginning, it was just grandpa who was still thinking about his love back then to make trouble for no reason, then this marriage contract was originally one-sided, and it was wishful thinking of grandpa. At the beginning, Shibo Xiao only It’s just because of the friendship between the two families, and I don’t want to have a rift because of this, so I agreed, why don’t you be more straightforward now?”

"Of course, Xiao Shibo doesn't have to worry about grandpa's mood. After this matter is settled here, grandpa's side will be borne by the niece alone! At that time, the Xiao family will definitely not make things difficult! Moreover, the Duanmu family and the Xiao family, From now on, we are still brothers and family friends, and will never change!"

After talking so much, Duanmu Yunrou paused, and asked again, "How does Shi Bo feel like this?"

Xiao Guofeng's face was ugly. Although Duanmu Yunrou's words were reasonable and reasonable, and at the same time guaranteed that it would not affect the friendship between the two families, is it such a simple matter?

"I don't agree!"

Suddenly, Xiao Bailian, who had been silent all this time, interjected, and for a moment, everyone present looked at him.Among them, Duanmu Yunrou was the most, with deep disgust in her eyes.

The consequences of fame!Seeing that gaze, Xiao Bailian smiled wryly in his heart.After all, the former second young master of the Xiao family had a terrible reputation. He was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but he was a waste who accomplished nothing.It would be unbearable to change whoever was his fiancee.

Not to mention the little princess of the Duanmu family?

"You bastard! You don't have a place to speak here, stand aside!"

Xiao Guofeng quickly opened his mouth to reprimand, and at the same time, he was also worried that his son's violent words would make things even more rigid, so he winked at Xiao Bailian.

"Father, as the person concerned, I have the right to speak here!"

Xiao Bailian ignored Xiao Guofeng's wink, and then looked at Duanmu Yunrou who was proud like a white swan over there.

Speaking of which, in her eyes, is he just a toad who wants to eat swan meat?

"Second young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Bailian, right? This matter was made very clear just now. Originally, this marriage contract was just a verbal, joke-like promise. Whether you want it or not, today's marriage contract must be Release!"

After Duanmu Yunrou finished speaking, she stopped looking at that person, as if she would feel extremely uncomfortable if she looked at him one more time, as if she had been polluted.

Xiao Bailian could see that reaction.Originally, this Duanmu Yunrou was good-looking, and Xiao Bailian had a good first impression of her. Unexpectedly, after a series of discussions, at this moment, the status of this beautiful girl in his heart dropped sharply.Not to mention that the other party is now actively asking for the dissolution of the engagement, even if he wants to marry him, he doesn't want it!
He can't afford this kind of woman!His temple is too small.

"Xiao Shibo, today..."

"Shut up!" Suddenly Xiao Bailian interrupted Duanmu Yunrou's opening loudly, and then, ignoring everyone's astonishment, Duanmu Yunrou said with a green and white face, "Miss Duanmu's family! What a majesty! You put our Xiao family What did you do?!"

"What do you mean?"

Duanmu Yunrou's complexion also turned ugly, but compared with someone else, she was still concerned about her identity and tried to control her complexion.

"What do you mean? Do you still want to ask me what you mean by what you have done? What do you think of the Xiao family? Come here casually, and then say 'I don't recognize that engagement' and you will divorce? You treat your Duanmu family as a What, what did you take the Xiao family for!?"

"Or, what do you think of yourself as? The head of the Duanmu family? You really deserve to be the eldest lady of the Duanmu family! Sure enough, you are different from ordinary people!"

"What do you mean by that? When will I..."

Regardless of Duanmu Yunrou's face change and rebuttal, Xiao Bailian interrupted her again, "Didn't you express this meaning from the beginning? Yes, you feel that you came here today, do you feel that you have given Xiao Jiatian Big face? You condescend to come to our Xiao family and personally propose to terminate the engagement, do you think that you have given the Xiao family enough face? Then the Xiao family immediately thanked Dade for his full promise? Did you imagine this from the beginning?"

Duanmu Yunrou's complexion changed again and again. Although she didn't answer directly, everyone could see that she really thought so, just as Xiao Bailian said.

"So what!?" After holding back for a long time, Duanmu Yunrou finally asked a little angrily.

"So what? It's so funny! Miss Duanmu's family, are you underestimating... No! Are you directly looking down on our Xiao family, or are you looking down on the friendship between your grandfather and my grandfather back then?"

"I...I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Even Duanmu Yunrou, who is deeply loved by Duanmu's family, would not dare to wear such a big hat.

Forget about the Xiao family, it has long since fallen.But the old man of the Duanmu family is the oldest person in the Duanmu family, let alone denying the friendship of the old man of the Duanmu family, she dare not even question it.

Xiao Guofeng originally wanted to stop his son's nonsense, but he listened slowly, and instead sat aside and didn't plan to intervene.While Duanmu Bote frowned slightly displeased, but he didn't interrupt.

"No? It turns out that the eldest lady of the Duanmu family doesn't count when she opens her eyes? Isn't this what I said just now, and I won't admit it in a blink of an eye?"

With a sarcasm on his face, Xiao Bailian gave a slight cold snort.

"When did I say that?"

"When? It turns out that Miss Duanmu is not only denying her words, but also so forgetful. Then I kindly remind you, just now, did you say that our marriage contract is just a one-sided verbal promise of your grandfather's wishful thinking? Can't it be true?"

Duanmu Yunrou didn't understand what Xiao Bailian meant, but she also nodded.

"Isn't that enough? From your point of view, Mr. Duanmu's firm attitude towards the friendship between the two families for many years has directly become a joke that is not really a joke?"

"Of course, you can insult our Xiao family. Although this makes the entire Xiao family extremely angry, our Xiao family has no power to influence you. This is your freedom! But! You even insulted your own grandfather! You're treasonous! I really don't know if Mr. Duanmu will be furious after hearing what you said just now, he is already old, and the younger generation is really worried for the old man."

Xiao Guofeng was a little surprised at the beginning when he listened to it. He didn't expect his son to say such a big truth, but the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong. The last part almost made him laugh out loud. He suffocated his face flushed.He didn't expect that Xiao Bailian could talk so nonsense, but he didn't know how to refute it. Didn't he see that Duanmu Yunrou's pretty face was flushed, angry and anxious, but he couldn't refute at all?

"You...you..." When did a young lady meet such a fickle person?
"What are you?! I really feel sorry for Mr. Duanmu, there is such an unfilial granddaughter! Of course, I am the Xiao family, so I don't want to interfere too much with your Duanmu family's family affairs."

Xiao Bailian nodded as he spoke, sighing that he is indeed a good person.But at this moment, someone just wanted to pounce on him and bite a piece of meat off him.

For Duanmu Yunrou, Xiao Bailian doesn't have the slightest liking for her now.Although this woman was beautiful, she disgusted him!
On the surface, today's matter is not a big deal, but it is Duanmu Yunrou's own private matter. She is dissatisfied with the arranged marriage set by the elders of the family and wants to resist.

This matter is not wrong, on the contrary, Xiao Bailian still quite agrees.After all, he is from the earth, so he doesn't agree with this kind of marriage contract arranged by the elders.

But Duanmu Yunrou did this in the wrong way!
Came to the door in person, without telling the old man of Duanmu's family, directly came to the door to ask for the dissolution of the engagement.What is this?Is it better for the Xiao family to be released, or not?
In addition, it is impossible for the Duanmu family not to be aware of the current situation of the Xiao family!Over the past few years, the Xiao family has continued to decline. If it weren't for the relationship between the Duanmu family, countless people would have attacked it.

In this kind of time, it is Duanmu Yunrou's own business to dissolve the engagement of the younger generation, but if you zoom in, what a heavy blow this is to the Xiao family?

Once people know about this matter, how will the Xiao family face the world?The engagement was annulled by Duanmu's family!This is a blatant slap in the face!

After that, can it really be like what Duanmu Yunrou said, the friendship between the two families will remain the same?

Shit!

At that time, one can imagine what the Xiao family's situation will be like!How many people would throw stones at the Xiao family!

As an ally, not only did she not do much to help these years, but now she has to make things worse and break off the engagement!Both emotion and reason made the Xiao family extremely angry from top to bottom!
"You've said so much, isn't it just that you don't want to terminate the engagement?! You're full of reasoning, which makes people more and more disgusted! Xiao Bailian, this lady explained here today, today's engagement, regardless of whether your Xiao family is willing or not , must be lifted! You, Xiao Bai Lianxiu, want this lady to marry you! Because you are not worthy!"

Since there was such a big commotion, Duanmu Yunrou no longer hesitated, and her tone was very blunt.Although Duanmu Bote looked embarrassed, he was not organized.Seeing him like this, Xiao Guofeng's eyes were extremely cold.

"Okay! Then today, I, Xiao Bailian, am here to make it clear! The engagement can be dissolved!"

Before Duanmu Yunrou could show his joy, Xiao Bailian spoke again, "But I want to explain one thing, it's not you, Duanmu Yunrou, who wants to break off the engagement, but me, Xiao Bailian, who took the initiative to break off the engagement! Duanmu's family? Do you really think my Xiao family is a rarity? So what if you, Duanmu Yunrou, are a stunning beauty who is sought after by others? Do you really think that I, Xiao Bailian, are rare?"

"Today, I am here to announce that I, Xiao Bailian, the No. 19 descendant of the Xiao family, swear here that after today, I, Xiao Bailian, will have nothing to do with Duanmu Yunrou! The engagement is hereby terminated, and I, Xiao Bailian I don't even bother to marry such a woman!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Bailian paused for a moment, he didn't know the rules of this world very well, according to the ancient times on earth, should he write a letter of divorce?However, the marriage contract back then was just an agreement made by Mr. Duanmu, so it is not necessary now, right?
At this moment, Duanmu Yunrou's pretty face was flushed with anger, her silver teeth were clenched, and her eyes were spitting fire.If eyes can kill people, then Xiao Bailian has died countless times at this moment.
