In response to Gu Qingcheng's questioning, the maid Yu dared not hesitate and hurriedly said, "A young man from an external faction just ca to the sect, I don't know the details, but the Sect Leader made an agreent with him that if he could take on the Sect Leader's three strikes, he would be allowed to leave. Unexpectedly, he actually withstood the Sect Leader's three strikes!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng was taken aback.
Who could possibly take on her father's three strikes in this Martial World, where such people were exceedingly rare? Who exactly was this young man?
"Miss, when I first heard about this, I couldn't believe it either, but many people verified that it was true. However, when that person was about to leave, the Supre Ancestor suddenly appeared and stopped him. It seems the Supre Ancestor knew his master and then said he should marry you. Who would have thought that fellow would disagree, so the Supre Ancestor had him tied up and taken to the backyard!" Yu explained truthfully.
"He actually refused?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and arrogance; this was the first ti she'd experienced being rejected!
"Yes! That kid is so bold, daring to refuse this marriage. I, for one, agree with the Supre Ancestor's asures. The more unwilling he is, the more he should be forced, otherwise Celestial Tower will end up seeming weak!" Yu clenched her pink fists with an indignant look on her face.
But quickly, upon seeing Gu Qingcheng's darkened expression, Yu realized she'd misspoken, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Miss, don't get
wrong, what I ant was... he isn't worthy of you!"
"It doesn't matter who is worthy or not, since he's not willing, and I'm not willing, how can this marriage proceed? I'm going to find grandmother and get so answers!" Gu Qingcheng said as she was about to leave.
"No need to look, I'm already here!"
At this mont, Master Qin Yin's voice ca from outside the door, and soon, she entered the room!
"Supre Ancestor!" Maid Yu hurriedly saluted!
"Grandmother!" Gu Qingcheng also respectfully called out!
"This matter no longer concerns you, you may leave now," Master Qin Yin waved her hand at Yu and said.
"Yes, Supre Ancestor!" Yu dared not hesitate and quickly withdrew, closing the door behind her!
With no one else present, Gu Qingcheng no longer hid her temperantal nature, walking over to hold Master Qin Yin's arm and poutingly said, "Grandmother, what do you an by this? Why suddenly arrange a marriage for , and for it to be as soon as tomorrow? I don't agree!"
"This matter is not up to you, whether you agree or not, you must go through with it!" Master Qin Yin's attitude was very firm.
This filled Gu Qingcheng with confusion, as her grandmother, who had always treated her with love and never denied her anything, suddenly beca so stern?
"Grandmother! I don't even know the person, we've never t and have no emotional foundation at all. How could I get married so hastily? Grandmother, I want to choose my own partner, besides, I already have soone I like!" Gu Qingcheng insisted.
"You have soone you like?" Master Qin Yin said in surprise.
"That's right!" Gu Qingcheng nodded.
"Since you have soone you like, why not bring him back?" Master Qin Yin asked.
"Grandmother, he's in Shenyang!" Gu Qingcheng said.
"Hmph! Even though he's in Shenyang, he hasn't co to pay respects to the sect. What's the use of keeping such a man? Compared to the man I've found for you, he is miles inferior. Silly girl, your grandmother is looking out for you; the man I found is absolutely worthy of entrusting your life to!" Master Qin Yin's eyes flashed with disdain as she kindly advised.
"Grandmother, it's not that he doesn't co to visit, but because I've never told him my true identity!" Gu Qingcheng quickly explained.
"That's just as well, to avoid trouble." Master Qin Yin said coldly.
Gu Qingcheng didn't expect Master Qin Yin to be so determined, it seed she was resolute, so she resorted to her usual coy antics, holding Master Qin Yin's arm and swaying, "Grandmother, you can't joke with your granddaughter's happiness, marrying soone I've never t, I won't be happy!"
"Ti will heal all, people always start as strangers." Master Qin Yin insisted on her principle.
"Grandmother..."
Gu Qingcheng tried to persuade further, but Master Qin Yin waved her hand, playing the emotional card, "Girl, stop talking, your grandmother's mind is made up. Besides, you're almost thirty, in the outside world you'd already be considered a leftover woman, and your grandmother cannot live much longer, would you want her to leave this world without seeing her great-grandchildren?"
"Grandmother, you can live another hundred years, how could you not see your great-grandchildren, don't say such things." Gu Qingcheng hurriedly said.
"Life is unpredictable, who can say for sure? If you love your grandmother, listen to her!"
Master Qin Yin grasped Gu Qingcheng's jade-like hand, patting the back of her hand, and earnestly said, "Girl, your grandmother is doing this for your own good, she promises the man she's found for you will definitely be the perfect match. If you don't want to et an unhappy end, listen to your grandmother and get married tomorrow!"
"I..."
Gu Qingcheng opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to continue!
Ever since she was little, she knew how much Master Qin Yin loved her. Seeing her grandmother's face full of expectation, she felt reluctant to refuse!
"Fine! I'll just get married tomorrow to get through this hurdle, anyway, in a few days I'll return to Yanjing, then I'll discuss divorcing with that man; after all, he doesn't like
either. At worst, I'll just give him so breakup compensation, and if he dares bully ... then I'll just kill him!"
Gu Qingcheng thought to herself, biting her back teeth, and then said, "Alright, grandmother, I'll listen to you!"
"Haha! That's my good granddaughter. Since you've agreed, rest well tonight, tomorrow you must enjoy your wedding. I won't disturb you anymore!"
Master Qin Yin patted Gu Qingcheng's hand heavily once more, then stood up and left the room!
Master Qin Yin walked out of the room and stood in the courtyard, not leaving imdiately but gazing up at the night sky where clouds obscured a crescent moon hanging faintly at an angle, and heaved a long sigh!
"Lin Kongxian, you deceitful old scoundrel, you deceived
years ago, using a marriage proposal to trick my father's treasured possession from Celestial Tower and then vanished without a trace. Now, I'll have your disciple marry into Celestial Tower and spread the tale throughout the Martial World, shaming you utterly! Hmph! This is what you get for crossing , Master Qin Yin. Let your disciple be the one to repay the debt from that emotional wound decades ago!"
That emotional scar from years ago was always the greatest wound in Master Qin Yin's heart!
"Alas... it's just a pity for Qingcheng, but it doesn't matter. After the marriage, I won't stop her from seeking her own happiness! As for that young Lin scoundrel, I'll bind him with the title of 'son-in-law' of Celestial Tower, keeping him here forever, repaying Lin Kongxian's emotional debt from thirty years ago!"
Master Qin Yin said coldly!
I wonder... what sort of magnificent expression she'll have when she finds out Lin Fan and Gu Qingcheng were originally lovers?
