Chapter 84
If it was in the past, she would naturally be able to enter the meeting hall as soon as she wanted to. However, now, she was already a useless person and a laughing stock of the entire Situ Clan. She had already fallen into the situation of washing clothes for others, so it’s easy to guess what the clan head was thinking now…
Logically speaking, she had already lost her right to enter the meeting hall. What was this about today?
“She’s here.”
The clan head glanced at Situ Qing and nodded with a smile.
Unlike the expression of disgust that she had seen before, the current Patriarch Situ had a fervent look in his eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was as if she, Situ Qing, had once again become that genius that could bring glory to the Situ family.
What happened?
Situ Qing’s heart tightened.
Everything in the Situ Clan was based on benefits. If she couldn’t bring benefits to the clan, she might become a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time. How could it attract a warm smile from the clan head?
The people of the Situ Clan all had a ‘goodwill’ expression on their faces as they looked at Situ Qing with a smile, especially her two older brothers. But it’s clearly a kind of ridicule in their eyes.
“Qing’er, you also know that you’ve already become a cripple. it’s a waste of resources for you to stay in my Situ family.”
“Furthermore, after all these years, the resources that the entire clan has invested in you can be said to be vast. You should know that as well.”
Patriarch Situ picked up a cup of Spirit Tea and casually blew a mouthful of hot air, yet his words were icy cold and heartless.
“I’ll betroth you to Young Master Zhao of Blissful Palace. From today onwards, you’ll no longer belong to my Situ family. You’ll be a member of Young Master Zhao’s family. Remember to serve Young Master Zhao well. If you’re negligent… Heh!”
Situ Qing raised her head in shock when she heard this, and then she looked around. All she saw was smiles filled with ‘goodwill’, and her entire body trembled as she lowered her head. In the end, she revealed a look of despair.
The Blissful Palace’s reputation was well-known. She had heard about the girls that had fallen into their hands, there was no good result. The Young Master of Blissful Palace was even more infamous and cruel!
Not to mention that her cultivation base had already been crippled now, even if she was at her peak, her death sentence was also destined if Young Master Zhao became interested in her.
The Situ Clan was truly heartless.
“Pack up, you will follow Young Master Zhao from today onwards…”
“No, I refuse!”
Situ Qing’s expression was expressionless, and her bearing grew even colder. She was just like a cymbidium, stubborn and independent.
Although her voice wasn’t loud, her tone was filled with firmness and there was enough in it so that everyone could hear it clearly at least!
“What did you say?”
Patriarch Situ narrowed his eyes and glared at Situ Qing with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Buzz!
At the same time, a surge of spiritual energy fluctuation rose from Patriarch Situ’s body, and an unconcealed and powerful pressure suddenly surged onto Situ Qing’s body.
“No!”
Situ Qing’s face was pale. Facing the pressure, she stubbornly raised her head and her eyes coldly stared at the Patriarch Situ.
In the past, she was one of the best geniuses in the entire Rock Devil City. Now that she was reduced to washing clothes for others. What was more was that the family even wanted her to become somebody’s cauldron?
How was she willing?
“You’re too arrogant! Are you unwilling?”
Before the patriarch could say anything, an elder of the Situ Clan started laughing.
The corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, and his eyes were filled with inexorability and stared at her.
“Do you think you are still that genius?”
“Wake up. You’re just a cripple right now. If we don’t marry you to the Young Master of the Blissful Palace, how could we get back the resources that were spent on your cultivation? You have to know that the Situ family never raises useless people!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.
Before that, they thought that they would not be able to make up the resources Situ Qing wasted, but no one expected that Young Master Zhao of the Blissful Palace happened to pass through Rock Devil City!
Normally, it would be impossible for the Situ family to have a relationship with the Blissful Palace. But now there was such a good chance, how could they give it up?
As long as the Young Master Zhao was pleased with their service, even if he gave them a few praises, no family would dare to provoke their family in the Rock Devil City for the next ten years.
This was a great opportunity for the Situ family to rise!
What they sacrificed was only a disgrace of the Situ Clan! If this business was completed, the benefits would roll in. It could be said to be a huge profit!
No one would care about Situ Qing’s thoughts!
Not to mention that she was already a cripple, even if she was still that genius, as long as the benefits were enough, the Situ Family would still hand her over!
Patriarch Situ snorted coldly, his tone was icy cold, and he said cruelly, “No matter whether you are willing or not today, you’ll have to agree. I’ve already written a letter to Young Master Zhao. As long as Young Master Zhao comes, you’ll obediently go over! Or else, your younger brother…”
Situ Qing’s expression changed drastically when she heard this.
She used to be a great genius, but her younger brother’s aptitude was quite ordinary. It wasn’t too good, but of course, it wasn’t too bad either. Anyway, in Rock Devil City, he could be also called an ordinary genius. Situ Qing and her younger brother Situ Bai had an extremely good relationship.
Situ Qing never expected that this matter would affect Situ Bai.
Her entire body trembled as she looked at Patriarch Situ with a pleading tone.
“Ouch, it’s a real beauty. I really like your crying face!”
At this moment, a bewitching voice rang out.
Everyone raised their heads to look at the source. A young man appeared at the gate, dressed in pink robes with a bewitching expression and a wicked smile. He shook a paper fan and slowly walked in.
He looked at Patriarch Situ with a faint smile and then turned his gaze on Situ Qing. In the eyes, a greedy light flashed away fast…….
“Patriarch Situ, this little sister is the third young miss of the Situ family that you intend to give to me, right?”
This young man was just the Young Master of Blissful Palace, Zhao Tai!
At this moment, with Patriarch Situ in the lead, everyone stood up with flattering and respectful expressions on their faces. Situ Feng and Situ Han hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and bent down to invite Young Master Zhao in.
“Yes, yes.”
Patriarch Situ’s eyes were filled with fervor. He came down from his position and smiled happily. Even his eyes had narrowed.
He was overjoyed!
Young Master Zhao had indeed come!
“Oh? But it seems that she is unwilling, it is as if, I, Zhao Tai, am forcing your Situ family into this agreement?”
Zhao Tai raised an eyebrow and looked around. The corner of his mouth contained a cold smile, and his expression became cold too.
“No, no, we don’t dare!”
Patriarch Situ’s expression changed and his heart tightened too when he saw Zhao Tai’s cold expression. He fiercely glared at Situ Qing and berated her.
“She is a member of the Situ family. We have spent endless resources on her these years. I’m the Patriarch of the Situ family; I have the right to send her to you, Lord Zhao. From today onwards, she’s no longer a member of the Situ Clan, but your woman, Lord Zhao!”
“Besides, no one doesn’t know your name in the Southern Province, Lord Zhao, who would dare to meddle with your things? Since now she is your woman, you can deal with her as you wish, she is here!”
Hearing these words, Zhao Tai immediately smiled with satisfaction and walked to Patriarch Situ’s seat. He closed his paper fan and sat down with his legs crossed, his eyes filled with amusement.
“Yes, what you said is true.”
He sized Situ Qing up from head to toe. Evil flames flickered in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips. Clearly, he was very satisfied.
When everyone from the Situ Clan heard this, they cupped their hands in flattery, and the Patriarch Situ revealed even more joy.
“As long as you, Lord Zhao is satisfied, it’s enough for us!”
At this moment, Situ Qing’s face was deathly pale, filled with despair. She never expected Patriarch Situ to be so heartless!
It seems that no matter what, Patriarch Situ was already determined to give her to Zhao Tai!
In the entire Rock Devil City, who would dare to meddle with Lord Zhao’s things? After all, the Blissful Palace has a legendary King Realm force behind it.
At this moment, outside the Situ Clan’s gate, Xuan Yi, the Golden King, and the Blade King, the three of them had watched everything that was happening in the Situ Clan with their Divine sense.
Xuan Yi shook his head and smiled, his eyes were extremely cold.
“What a cruel Situ family.”
In order to flatter somebody, they had the heart to send their daughter to a stranger, dealing with this stranger’s wish.
“No one dares to meddle? That may not be the case. I intend to meddle in today’s matters!”
Swish!
Xuan Yi stepped forward and appeared in the meeting hall of the Situ Clan.
“Situ Qing, I’ll keep her!”
“I’m here now. I’ll see who dares to touch her!”
Xuan Yi’s expression was icy cold as he brought the two Kings, appearing before the stunned crowd…
