"There's nothing more to say. I've said what I needed to say."
At this moment, An Hengda Aiji spoke through gritted teeth, but her tone was off.
As the other party's maid, she was even more confused at this moment. What was going on? Why did their tone sound so strange? It wasn't scientific, it wasn't normal.
What do you mean by "should be said"? I've already said it. Did the two of you chat? And why does my young lady sound a bit shy? What's going on with 530?
An Hengda Aiji didn't waste any words. She went straight to the bathroom, closed the door, and then checked herself. Seeing that she was covered in red marks, she gritted her teeth and cursed the pervert!
An Hengda Aiji thought about what the other party did after saying those words and even doubted herself. If she hadn't figured it out herself, did that guy want to directly reach her in one step in the field of time-stopped space in front of everyone?
Damn it! You lecherous bastard, you scumbag! We just met again and you're already like this, this guy is a complete lecherous monster!
After I finished cursing, I remembered what she had said before: that I would visit her in a few days, settle everything, and then take her away. I felt even more embarrassed.
This guy seems incredibly thirsty and desperate. If I were to be taken away by him, wouldn't I end up pregnant in no time? No way!
At that moment, the girl let out a silent wail.
At the same time, I secretly hoped that if that guy was really willing to register with me first, I would accept being taken away by him. It all depends on his sincerity!
At this moment, An Hengda Aiji was thinking about all sorts of random things.
Lin Qi had no idea what the other person was thinking. If he did, he would definitely say, "You're so idealistic, how could you possibly register with me first? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
After resolving the matter, I was in a good mood and quietly started eating. However, thinking about how delicious the food I had just eaten was even better, the food in front of me suddenly tasted bland.
This made the food in front of me even less appetizing, and I also felt a little regretful. Why did I have to be soft-hearted? If I hadn't been soft-hearted, I would have just gone straight for it. I didn't expect the other person to cry, which triggered my remaining compassion. How annoying!
Lin Qi couldn't help but wonder when he would be able to abandon his compassion for everything he possessed.
I started squatting in a corner, munching on something, and quietly looking around. I noticed some familiar faces, and they gradually arrived, but I was too lazy to go up and say hello. I wasn't interested, or rather, I figured if they got too involved with me in this setting, it might cause problems with their social circle.
As the banquet began, Lin Qi silently watched the process unfold, and the food was continuously brought out.
Lynch saw Erina dressed as a chef and helping out.
Lin Qi couldn't help but think, "I knew it."
When the atmosphere was just right, the other party started making polite remarks, mostly thanking them for coming.
Then, something else was announced later.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is not only my granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony, but also the announcement of her engagement to Mr. Lin Qi."
No one was surprised to hear this. Many people had already heard the news, and soon Lin Qi, who was squatting in the corner, was finally found.
Lin Qi was holding a drink in his hand, but he put it on the table and walked over calmly.
I didn't do anything special; I just walked up there. I didn't do anything extra. I was too lazy to do anything unnecessary. Isn't it better to just get things done quietly?
Lin Qi had no intention of doing anything unnecessary today, mainly because he disliked trouble.
Upon reaching them, they were stunned to find not only Fujiwara Chika, but also two other granddaughters flanking them.
Some people sensed something unusual. Normally, in this situation, only the other party's second granddaughter, the main character of the day, should be standing there. Why are the other two also there? It's not like they're accompanying the other party just because they're sisters; that's a bit against the rules.
Some old foxes had a thought pop into their minds: "Letting these three stand together at this time? Is this old man really that willing? He's putting all his granddaughters on the line."
Those who were once political opponents or allies of the other side all realized at that moment that things were starting to go wrong.
However, many people were still completely bewildered, unaware that something was amiss, and were simply amazed that the Fujiwara family dared to get involved with this person.
A little inquiry will reveal the truth about this person; he's in a very dangerous situation, the kind where the slightest mishap could lead to utter ruin.
Therefore, these people couldn't help but admire each other's perseverance and determination.
Some people think the other party is courting disaster. Although this person is now very famous and has a high reputation, and it can even be said that the other party brought it on himself, isn't he afraid of crashing and burning?
Some of these old fogies, who were once enemies with the other party, could see what the other party was up to. They couldn't help but think maliciously that if this person really got into trouble, the Fujiwara family would be doomed. The connection was too deep, and it wasn't political at all!
Everyone was thinking of making things difficult for Lin Qi, and preferably bringing him down.
Chapter 903 I Need an Explanation
Master Lin Qi calmly walked up and glanced at the people below. He understood what they were thinking. After all, he had read their thoughts. He had to admit that they were all thinking a lot, and quite a few were even planning to sabotage him and implicate their families if he fell.
At this moment, Lin Qi really wanted to ask, where did these guys get their mistaken belief? They think that it's much easier and more convenient for them to fall than for the other side to take down their own family?
Lin Qi was utterly speechless at the other party's behavior. After all, why would they want to use him as a scapegoat? Didn't they know that using him as a scapegoat was infinitely more difficult than what they originally intended to do? Or were they thinking their knife wasn't sharp enough, that these people weren't afraid enough, and that it would be easier to target him?
Lin Qi couldn't help but think about this question at that moment.
The question Lynch pondered after arriving here.
At this moment, Fujiwara Yutaka spoke with a serious expression, his voice filled with sincerity and a plea.
"Lin Qi, I'm entrusting my three granddaughters to you from now on."
When Fujiwara Yutaka uttered those three words, it stunned both those who had guessed and those who hadn't. Those who had guessed were alright; they could only marvel at how decisive this person was, unafraid of making a mistake, or perhaps the other party had some unknown trump card that no one knew about.
Those who didn't know were completely dumbfounded at this moment. They just said three, right? The Fujiwara family must be crazy to marry off all three sisters to each other.
As everyone knows, the three Fujiwara sisters are highly sought-after marriage partners. The eldest sister is extremely popular, with countless people hoping to marry her, as she is a ready-made match. As for the second sister, many people also have designs on her. However, rumors have circulated that she is marrying someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although they are dissatisfied, their track record is well-documented.
This made those people afraid to say anything more. After all, how many extraordinary organizations and families had fallen into the hands of the other party? They still didn't dare to mess with them. Those people were tough enough, so it seemed that they also chose to back down.
So you have no choice but to give up. Many people set their sights on the youngest one, hoping that the other person will get engaged to someone of a suitable age in their family, and try to win them over.
To everyone's surprise, the Fujiwara family acted completely out of the ordinary, taking all three sisters down with them. What's going on? Is this person worth such a huge gamble? It's a total entanglement, is it worth it?
These people, thinking logically, concluded that the other party had acted impulsively. However, many others believed that the other party wouldn't do something so foolish, implying that this person's actions were more complex than what they appeared to be; otherwise, it would have been impossible for this old fox to do such a thing!
Unlike the others present, the other party's elderly father had only recently learned about this matter. The bespectacled, seemingly refined man was now staring intently at Lin Qi, as if he wanted to fight him to the death.
As someone born into this family, I know it's inevitable that I hope my daughter will find a good husband and marry someone outstanding. But how can I accept that some blond-haired guy will take her away in one go?
Since I couldn't stop it myself, I could only kill with my eyes!
Lin Qi was unfazed by the old man's piercing gaze. He figured he'd be dealing with him a lot in the future, so let him be. A look was enough to quell his anger, whatever.
The other three sisters, although they already knew, were still quite embarrassed to have it announced to them in public. The eldest sister was alright, as she was excellent in every way. The other two younger sisters were especially shy and a little unhappy. That guy went too far, and they would definitely make him pay for it later.
Fujiwara Chika was not as carefree as usual, especially in this situation. She just secretly made a note of the matter in her little notebook. If the other party did not meet one of her demands, it was wrong. If they did not meet ten of her demands, this matter was not over.
Fujiwara Moeha felt that this situation was not good. When she went back to school, her good friends would probably ask her all sorts of questions. What should she do?
Moreover, as far as he knows, many of his friends know Lin Qi and have even secretly taken photos of him to keep. He expects to be exposed when he gets back.
There was a short, cute girl above who felt like the sky had fallen upon hearing the news. Looking at Fujiwara Chika and then at Lin Qi, she inexplicably felt murderous and wanted to kill Lin Qi.
"Damn it, Fujiwara-senpai is actually getting engaged to this scumbag! Damn it, so damn it!"
However, at this moment, some people raised objections.
"The Fujiwara family, I need an explanation."
At that moment, a young man voiced his opposition.
Or, the other party might directly question why they did this, or criticize their unsportsmanlike behavior.
Upon hearing the questioning voice, everyone glanced at each other. Some suddenly realized what was going on and showed expressions of anticipation, since they all knew some of the rumors.
The Tianyu family is an ancient family on the other side of the supernatural realm. It seems that their eldest granddaughter was originally going to be married off to that side.
Although the other party appears very distinguished at this moment, many people actually know about their reputation and behavior in private. However, due to their status, no one will say anything. Now, this person of distinguished status has clashed with this newly emerged evil dragon after the Fujiwara family broke their contract.
"Young Master Tianyu, what explanation do you require?"
At this moment, old man Fujiwara did not show the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he calmly asked a question in return.
This attitude surprised all the seasoned veterans present. Shouldn't you be a little guilty in this situation? Your lack of guilt and your sincere demeanor left everyone a bit confused about what was going on with you.
Although there's no direct public admission, based on the information gathered, that report is definitely true. The fact that the other party is acting so calmly and nonchalantly despite breaching the contract is suspicious.
I don't understand, I really don't understand. How can someone be so calm and collected when they've clearly done something wrong? Or is someone giving them enough benefits and backing?
Chapter 904 Where are you the Empress?
"I need an explanation."
What kind of explanation do you want from me?
When faced with this person with whom he had once intended to arrange a marriage, old man Fujiwara felt a surge of good fortune. Although strictly speaking, he had a problem on his side, he hadn't finalized anything; at most, he had only been in contact with him. He hadn't made any definitive statements.
So at this moment, I was completely unfazed and felt no remorse whatsoever. My main concern was myself. I usually leave myself a way out when I do things, but this time there was no way out, so I just stood there defiantly.
Upon hearing this, the person exuding an air of nobility turned their gaze to the other party.
His eyes held a murderous glint, for the other party had humiliated him. This situation was utterly disgraceful, and it was not something that could be easily resolved, as he had been subjected to such humiliation.
This was something the other party never imagined; one day, someone would poach their partner.
"You'd better think carefully about what you're saying and what you're doing right now."
Without further ado, the other party launched into a threat.
"Heh, Lord Tianyu, I haven't done anything. After all, Fengshi has never had a fiancé. I'm just finding a fiancé for my granddaughter. What's wrong with that?"
At this moment, these words were spoken with great confidence, and everyone around had to admit that the old fox was indeed shrewd. Some things were known to everyone, and seemed to be universally acknowledged, but no one expected that the other party would use this method to ensure that the other party would not suffer any losses, since the other party had not actually announced such a thing to the public.
So strictly speaking, the other person is indeed single. If she is single, is there a problem with her finding a fiancé?
Everyone present was shrewd and understood that the old man had already prepared several plans. For example, this move was enough to ensure the opponent's nominal rise was secure.
At least he doesn't have to be labeled as a traitor. I must say, well done! He's definitely not that kind of cunning guy.
So all that's left is to see how to deal with the practical issues. The title is already in place, so the next step is to deal with the Tianyu family.
Everyone was eagerly watching the drama unfold. Such a public struggle, which was essentially a complete breakdown of relations, was rare these days, especially considering the status of these two individuals and their families.
Some people are even thinking about how to use this opportunity to their advantage, such as choosing a side to seek benefits. For example, some of the Fujiwara family's enemies are already thinking about how to take this opportunity to unite and destroy the Fujiwara family, or at least severely weaken them if they can't destroy them.
Of course, there is one person who cannot be ignored. It is because of you that the Wizards made these people hesitate. They are pragmatic people who do not like to play too many tricks. Too many people have died at the hands of the other side.
This made everyone feel hesitant to act for fear of causing harm.
Upon hearing this, the person who came out understood that he had been played from the very beginning, or rather, that he had only ever been a backup option. All the previous actions had been to use him as a substitute, and now that the other party had found someone better, they had chosen to abandon him without hesitation.
After understanding this, the other party became incredibly aggressive. After all, who was he to become a backup option? What a joke! This was pure humiliation.
"Good good."
The other person then said "good" several times in a row, and then turned to look at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi met the other person's gaze, but unlike the other person's angry expression, Lin Qi remained calm, even with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
In an instant, their emotions were immediately divided: one was angry, while the other seemed completely indifferent, even a little amused.
