"Jiro, you've come!"
Just as Liu Jingtao was about to leave, Liu Aoxue appeared... Her pretty face was filled with joy, and she skipped and hopped over.
"Who let you out?"
Liu Jingtao frowned. He wanted to get rid of Xiao Yu as soon as possible because he was afraid that his daughter would show up if she found out that Xiao Yu had come.
My worst fears came true.
"snort!"
Liu Aoxue pouted angrily and said unhappily, "If you want to keep me locked in the room and not even give me food, you might as well just kill me! Anyway, there's no point in me living like this!"
"You...you!"
Liu Jingtao was so angry that his chest ached. He clutched his chest and said, "I just wanted you to think things through in your room. You were the one who decided to go on a hunger strike! You said you were going on a hunger strike, but didn't you have the maid secretly bring you food every day?"
"Huh? You knew all that?"
Liu Aoxue was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit socially awkward... Although she didn't know the word "socially awkward," that was the feeling.
A blush of shy anger flashed across Liu Aoxue's face. She stomped her foot in frustration and retorted, "If I don't steal food, are you really going to let me starve to death?"
"..."
Liu Jingtao was completely helpless with his daughter, and was rendered speechless by her retort. He clutched his chest even tighter.
For the past three days, his heart has been feeling unwell, all because of that brat Xiao Yu.
Thinking about it, she glared coldly at Xiao Yu.
What a funny father and daughter... Xiao Yu didn't expect that because of him, Liu Aoxue had been pretending to go on a hunger strike at home for three days. He was touched but also felt a little guilty, as he hadn't known all along.
He even thought that Liu Aoxue had changed her mind, which was why she hadn't come to see him for the past few days.
"Proud Snow".
Xiao Yu stopped asking questions, opened the sword box, took out the Youlong Sword, and said, "I've come to propose marriage. This is the token of our love that I'm giving you... Originally, I wanted to give this sword to Uncle Liu, but he doesn't seem to like it."
"Hmph, you dare to use a broken sword as a token of love?"
Liu Jingtao snorted coldly and said, "I do not agree to this marriage."
We are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you, a monster, to object to us?
Xiao Yu complained inwardly, then couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he's the number one grandmaster in the capital, he doesn't even care about a treasure like the Dragon Sword!"
"Is this the Dragon Sword?"
After catching the sword, Liu Aoxue examined it for a few seconds before suddenly exclaiming in surprise, "The Dragon Sword forged by a master swordsmith? Xiao Yu, where did you get such a divine weapon?"
After saying that, he gently pulled the sword out a little bit.
"whispering sound……"
Liu Jingtao scoffed dismissively and said, "I guess it's a fake. The real Youlong Sword is... is... is this really the Youlong Sword?"
When Liu Aoxue drew the Youlong Sword from its sheath, the cold glint of it made Liu Jingtao's eyes dazzle. Then, his gaze was fixed on the Youlong Sword, his eyes glued to it, unwilling to look away.
"It's true!"
Liu Aoxue was also stunned.
As the number one grandmaster in the capital, and the daughter of the number one grandmaster in the capital, Liu Jingtao and Liu Aoxue are both discerning people.
"Let me see this quickly!"
As Liu Jingtao spoke in a trembling voice, he reached out to take the Youlong Sword from his daughter's hand.
"This is mine...you can only look."
Liu Aoxue was somewhat reluctant to hand over the Youlong Sword to her father, her beautiful eyes watching him warily, afraid that her father would keep the Youlong Sword for himself.
"The blade is as sharp as autumn frost, capable of cutting through hair and slicing through iron like mud... This is the Dragon Sword made by Master Ouye."
Liu Jingtao liked it more and more as he looked at it, and he was reluctant to give it back to his daughter.
So this is what the number one grandmaster in the capital is all about. He was so high and mighty just now because he didn't know the Dragon Sword was real... Heh, Xiao Yu chuckled to himself.
If it were anyone else, he would have already started to mock them, but he couldn't do that to Liu Jingtao, since he was still hoping that Liu would marry his daughter to him!
"Father, if you've seen enough, please return the token of love that Shiro gave me!"
Seeing how much her father loved the Dragon Sword, Liu Aoxue quickly spoke up.
"this……"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Liu Jingtao finally reluctantly returned the Youlong Sword to Liu Aoxue.
Even if I really like this sword, I can't accept it, otherwise how can I refuse this kid's marriage proposal?
However... even if I refuse this kid, Ao Xue will still have to return the Youlong Sword to him. We can't have it both ways!
A fierce internal struggle ensued for Liu Jingtao, but in the end, he chose to abandon the Youlong Sword!
“Nephew Xiao, to be honest, I have already found a future husband for Aoxue.”
Seeing Xiao Yu's sincerity, Liu Jingtao's attitude softened, and he said, "I made an appointment with him today, he should be here soon..."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu and Liu Aoxue both looked at Liu Jingtao, their faces full of confusion.
"He is Sun Cheng, the son of Sun Xichuan, the Minister of Personnel."
Liu Jingtao explained, "I've already spoken with Minister Sun. I'll have Aoxue meet with Sun Cheng today. I haven't had a chance to tell Aoxue about this yet."
"I won't see him. I've said it before, I will only marry Shiro."
Liu Aoxue interrupted her father, standing next to Xiao Yu with a determined look on her beautiful face.
Sun Xichuan, the Minister of Personnel?!
Xiao Yu frowned, suddenly remembering Liu Quan's words... Previously, Duke Liu had said that he would have Minister Sun accuse him before His Majesty.
In other words, Sun Xichuan and Liu Yan are birds of a feather, neither of them are good people.
However, Liu Jingtao would never believe these things if they were told, and would even think that he was deliberately slandering Sun Xichuan in order to be with Aoxue.
"Nonsense!!"
Liu Jingtao shouted angrily, "Since when did it become your place to make decisions? You have to see me whether you want to or not!"
He was angry that his daughter had repeatedly disobeyed him in front of Xiao Yu!
Besides losing face, there's another reason... The little cabbage she painstakingly raised actually went to protect a pig who wanted to steal her away, treating her old father as an enemy!
Thinking about it, Liu Jingtao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart again.
"I, the number one grandmaster in the capital, alas!"
Liu Jingtao instinctively clutched his chest, glared at Xiao Yu, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Of course, this killing intent wasn't really about killing Xiao Yu, but rather about wanting to give him a good beating.
The old man wants to beat me up... Xiao Yu understood the look in his eyes.
At this moment, the steward rushed over and said, "Master, the young master Sun from the family of the Minister of Personnel has arrived."
"Please ask him to come over."
Liu Jingtao nodded, then glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "What? Aren't you leaving yet?"
"I won't leave."
Xiao Yu shook his head and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "If Uncle Liu is unwilling to marry Aoxue to me, then I will have to check on Aoxue's suitability for that young master Sun."
His words clearly showed his disdain for Sun Cheng!
