Chapter 1136 - 327: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (10)
It really hurts.
Li Yixun was about to use his smoking rod to knock on Li Erbing’s head when Li Erbing quickly dodged and, with a bitter smile, heard his elder brother’s words: "It’s impossible, Wang Haoran already sent people to our residence last night. Their stance is very clear; it’s about ensuring Zong Liangqing won’t be in danger while letting him follow us like a shadow."
Although Wang Haoran’s letter didn’t explicitly state this, do you really need to spell everything out? Between the lines, a hidden meaning is the hallmark of these people’s so-called smart thinking.
Li Yixun could tell that Wang Haoran thought highly of Zong Liangqing.
Li Erbing couldn’t do anything about it. He sighed and took up the smoking rod again: "Alright, alright, here comes another one looking to enjoy the feast. At least it’s our State Capital, but if it were somewhere else, this many people feasting, how could we afford it? There’s only so much meat available."
"I almost feel like I should just carve the meat and serve it to them myself."
"It’s truly so sudden, even more dramatic than unexpectedly becoming a father."
Li Yixun burst into laughter, his second brother certainly had a cheerful disposition: "Haha, since Wang Haoran recognizes Zong Liangqing, we should also acknowledge him. He’ll be coming over to greet us today. By the way, speaking of which, second brother, don’t you have a daughter?"
The daughter? Li Erbing nodded: "Yes, I do have a daughter, but she’s already engaged. Brother, have you forgotten?"
His daughter was already arranged in an alliance between prestigious families. To break off her engagement just for Zong Liangqing would cause quite a stir.
Li Yixun tapped his forehead: "Ah yes, she’s engaged, indeed. How about this, I’ll introduce Niantao to him then."
Li Niantao?!
A mysterious girl popped into Li Erbing’s mind, making his head ache a bit. Even with his elder brother in front of him, he couldn’t help but say, "Brother, Niantao... Niantao has been spoiled by you. She’s notorious for her bad temper in the State Capital, don’t let her clash with Zong Liangqing."
He knew his elder brother’s intention was to have his daughter step in at this moment. It made sense for a family’s males to establish good relations in the face of a man like Zong Liangqing, "like repels like, opposites attract" surely applied here.
Yet the issue was, Li Niantao was just an extraordinary girl, and her temperament was puzzling. It seemed completely out of place for their family’s offspring.
Li Yixun also felt a bit awkward, speaking in a slightly lower tone: "It should... it should be alright, I guess? Since he’s from the Celestial Craft Workshop, even if he’s just here for the feast, without paying attention to the whole process, he should be able to see our good intentions, right?"
Wang Haoran’s letter had already explained that Yuchi wasn’t aware of the detailed plans. He was simply there for a formality and a feast. But even if unaware of their plans, it didn’t negate the fact he was Bu Luohua’s mentor, right? What kind of person is Bu Luohua, the second daughter of the Celestial Craft Workshop!
For someone who can mentor Bu Luohua, he shouldn’t be easily provoked. He’s likely to consider the bigger picture, right? He shouldn’t be unable to take a little joke from a young girl and start a conflict.
That would be... just too unworthy of having Bu Luohua by his side.
"Alright then!"
Since his elder brother said so, Li Erbing had no choice. He sighed softly and said, "Anyway, I still hope Niantao doesn’t clash with others. That girl thinks she’s seen so much of the world and pursued by many, then begins to get cocky. Brother, you should really talk to her."
Li Niantao was quite a legendary character in the State Capital, with so many close friends. Even the emperor himself, despite not being an imposing presence, really liked this little princess. Yes... the Li Family was actually a business front for the Imperial Decree Department, essentially their people.
"Talking does no good; she needs to face some setbacks. Ideally, Zong Liangqing will give her a little knock on the head to wake her up... Although, it’s also my fault. I haven’t had the time to educate her properly, and now she’s overly arrogant and pompous, she’s due for a good lesson." Li Yixun sighed, indicating this topic was really bothersome.
He was quite remarkable himself, so how could he have such an extraordinary daughter?
It’s perplexing!
Li Erbing was amused by his elder brother’s expression, tapping his smoking helmet: "Haha, if Zong Liangqing actually wants to accept your daughter, would you agree?"
Li Yixun didn’t hesitate at all:
"I’d agree to it; why wouldn’t I? Zong Liangqing is from the Celestial Craft Workshop, not to mention Bu Huoran allowing Bu Luohua to go to his sect. Isn’t that proof enough? Though I reckon Zong Liangqing might not be able to handle her, so naturally, he wouldn’t have romantic interest."
