Xiao Yu lifted his head. On his sickly pale face, there was a captivating aura of restraint.
“No matter what, the Xiao family has the sincerity to marry Miss Su as the young madam. I think that this is enough.”
What he meant was that it didn’t matter whether he liked it or not.
As for asking him to give up…
The pride in Xiao Yu’s bones was something that his many years of illness had not been able to torture away. “I am not as noble as Your Highness, but the Xiao family is not an ordinary family either.”
“Xiao Yu, are you unwilling to give up?”
Chu Yihan’s deep eyes emitted a dangerous aura.
Xiao Yu dared to look Chu Yihan in the eye and still said, “I have no reason to give up, just like Your Highness.”
The reason why he was determined to get Su Yingxue was because of love.
Xiao Yu’s reason was profit.
They were all real reasons.
” What if I tell you that you can only benefit if you don’t marry her?” Chu Yihan tapped the table lightly. He did not look like he was here to negotiate at all. It was the same in the Xiao family as it was in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion. There was even a hint of leisure in his eyes.
Xiao Yu could not understand Chu Yihan. His many years of business experience told him that Chu Yihan seemed to have come prepared. But what did he prepare?
Xiao Yu’s slender and well-defined hands picked up the green jade glass cup and gently took a sip of the tea. His movements were extremely elegant.
Su Miaoyan sat next to Su Yingxue and peeked at Xiao Yu. She felt that Xiao Yu looked better and better the more she looked at him. Xiao Yu was just right in her sense of aesthetics, not a single bit more, not a single bit less.
Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and thought of many things. “Your Highness means that if I insist on marrying Miss Su, I will be making an enemy out of you. Your Highness has a high position and authority, and you have a large army in your hands. Even the Emperor has to show some courtesy. However, my Xiao family has been in business for a hundred years. Compared to ordinary merchant families, we are still a little more profound. Our military supplies have also not declined for many years. It will not be easy for Your Highness to destroy the Xiao family in an instant.”
Su Yingxue pinched the tea lid playfully and tightened her grip.
He had to admit that what Xiao Yu said was not without reason.
Although Chu Yihan was powerful, the Xiao family’s century-old foundation couldn’t be shaken in a day!
Chu Yihan laughed lightly and did not continue to discuss this topic with Xiao Yu. Instead, he asked, “Have you heard of Qian Jizi, Young Master Xiao?”
Xiao Yu nodded. “The leader of the Qianji Sect is said to be extremely wise. The Qianji Sect is proficient in countless mysterious techniques and had once made the four countries afraid. Because of this, Qian Jizi became arrogant and wanted to compete with the four countries. He wanted to have a high position and achieve hegemony for thousands of years. However, later on, Qian Jizi was killed by his Your Highness, and the Qianji Sect was destroyed. No one survived.”
Xiao Yu’s cold and steady eyes turned towards Chu Yihan. “This was a famous battle in the war that led to Your Highness’s reputation.”
“That’s right, I’ve heard of it too! Originally, the Ninth Prince had a heart of cherishing talents and sent people to persuade Qian Jizi to surrender. However, Qian Jizi didn’t give the Ninth Prince any face and became more arrogant. Therefore, he and the Qianji Sect were all eliminated by the Ninth Prince!”
Su Miaoyan cupped her small face.
Her narration was not as heavy as Xiao Yu’s, and her lively and sweet voice made the air sweeter.
A smile flashed across Xiao Yu’s eyes.
Su Yingxue poked Su Miaoyan’s little face. “You know quite a bit!”
“This is what the Ninth Prince wrote in his book, the Battle of the Qianji Sect! The story of the third volume of the Peerless Martial Soul is really interesting!”
