Liu Jingtao fell silent.
The reason he broke off the engagement was not because the Xiao family was about to decline, but because his daughter was too reckless and wanted to marry Xiao Yu along with three other women!
What kind of talk is this?!
Liu Jingtao is the dean of the Martial Arts Academy in the capital of Great Xia. Although he does not hold an official position, he is still a very prominent figure.
The disciples of the Martial Academy are spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty. These disciples are all pillars of the nation. When they see Liu Jingtao, they must bow respectfully and call him Dean!
How could his daughter marry Xiao Yu alongside another woman?
"Your father never objected to you marrying Xiao Yu."
Liu Jingtao's gaze fell on Xiao Yu, and he sighed, "What I object to is that he marries four women at once. Xiao Yu, if you promise to marry only my daughter, I will agree to let Aoxue be with you... As for taking concubines in the future, that is your business."
Given Jin Mulan and Murong Xian's status, they certainly wouldn't become concubines, and Liu Jingtao was well aware of this.
Therefore, when he mentioned taking a concubine, he meant another woman. After all, Xiao Yu was the only male heir left in the Xiao Prince's Mansion, and he would definitely have many children in the future to continue the lineage of the Xiao Prince's Mansion.
"I cannot agree to that."
Xiao Yu spoke up.
Shen Youyu had already been taken home, and the two had already made love, so Xiao Yu refused without hesitation.
"You want both? Do you really think I have no temper?"
Liu Jingtao was truly enraged. He had put aside his prejudices and was ready to have a proper talk with Xiao Yu, but this young man had actually arranged and pushed things forward in this way.
With a loud shout, Liu Jingtao's aura suddenly surged, his gaze sharply fixed on Xiao Yu, and he suddenly threw a punch...
Previously, Xiao Yu had easily defeated Qiao Feng at the Martial Academy, so Liu Jingtao now possessed 30% of his power and was preparing to teach Xiao Yu a lesson.
"father!"
Liu Aoxue was terrified, her face paling. She hadn't expected her father to suddenly make a move.
"!!!"
Xiao Yu hadn't expected Liu Jingtao to suddenly attack. Fortunately, the other party wasn't using his full strength. Although the speed was fast, Xiao Yu could still dodge it.
"Bang!!"
Xiao Yu used his elbow to block Liu Jingtao's palm, while simultaneously retreating quickly to dissipate the powerful force.
As expected of the number one grandmaster in the capital, even a light palm strike possesses such formidable power... Xiao Yu retreated rapidly, his feet stomping and crushing several stone slabs on the ground before finally stopping.
"Can you dodge it?"
Liu Jingtao was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that this palm strike would knock Xiao Yu down.
Before he could finish speaking, a second slap followed.
"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry!"
Seeing that Liu Jingtao had increased his strength by another ten percent, Xiao Yu did not dare to be careless. Facing the number one grandmaster in the capital, it would be impossible to escape unscathed if he only defended and did not attack. Seeing Liu Jingtao's second palm strike, Xiao Yu threw a punch to counterattack.
"Bang!!"
Xiao Yu punched Liu Jingtao in the palm.
Two enormous forces collided, and a tremendous burst of energy exploded in the air, causing the surrounding leaves to flutter and fly!
"Dad, stop hitting him!"
This powerful aura prevented Liu Aoxue from getting close. While she was worried, she was also surprised that Xiao Yu could withstand her father's attack.
You have to understand, even she wasn't confident she could catch that blow from her father!
As their auras clashed, Liu Jingtao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Kid, you were hiding your strength when you defeated Qiao Feng? Well, let me test you!"
At this moment, Liu Jingtao was no longer simply trying to teach Xiao Yu a lesson; he suddenly felt a sense of appreciation for talent and wanted to see just how far this kid had gone.
"Uncle Liu, please enlighten me!"
Xiao Yu could tell that Liu Jingtao just wanted to test his skills, so he readily agreed.
"good!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Liu Jingtao's aura increased by another 20%. He hadn't fought anyone in a long time, and now he was in high spirits. His fists were enveloped in aura as he began to attack.
"!!!"
Facing the number one grandmaster in the capital, Xiao Yu dared not be careless and focused intently on sensing the changes in the aura.
Suddenly, a powerful aura struck his chest.
This speed was beyond what the naked eye could discern. Without any hesitation, Xiao Yu reacted and threw a punch to meet it.
"Bang!!"
Their fists collided, and the two men moved swiftly.
Liu Aoxue watched in horror, and finally remembered that Xiao Yu had told her before that he was a Grandmaster... She hadn't believed it at the time!
"Could Juro really be a Grandmaster?"
Liu Aoxue's face showed an expression of disbelief... If he were a Grandmaster, how high would his martial arts talent be?
It's worth noting that even Liu Jingtao didn't become a Grandmaster until he was over thirty!
Xiao Yu is only in his early twenties and has already become a Grandmaster. If he is given a few more years, won't the title of the number one Grandmaster in the capital change hands?!
Liu Aoxue became more and more surprised as she thought about it, her pretty face almost frozen in shock.
Meanwhile, Liu Jingtao and Xiao Yu were still fighting.
The two figures moved quickly. Even though Liu Jingtao didn't use his full strength, fists and feet have no eyes. As they moved, the stone slabs under their feet were cracked one by one. The surrounding energy collided constantly. The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard seemed to be shaken by a gale. Some of the thinner trees were broken off!
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yu's body slammed into the wall. Liu Jingtao did not stop attacking, but instead gathered his strength and said, "Good kid, take my last punch!"
We can't keep fighting like this, or even the yard will be demolished!
Liu Jingtao decided to defeat Xiao Yu with this punch and then stop, so he didn't hold back.
"Are you serious?!"
"Damn it!" Xiao Yu cursed inwardly, focusing all his energy into his fist and gritting his teeth as he threw it forward.
"Bang!!"
This punch, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, struck Liu Jingtao's fist, yet the latter maintained a calm and composed expression on his face.
A burst of energy erupted around them, then slowly disappeared!
"Father, Shiro!"
Seeing the two stop fighting, Liu Aoxue hurriedly ran over, looked Xiao Yu up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he was alright. She then scolded, "Father, are you really not satisfied until you've hurt him?"
"Uncle Liu was just testing me. I didn't use my full strength. It's alright."
Xiao Yu spoke casually, then slowly hid his trembling right fist behind his back... Ouch, that really hurts! It feels like my bones are about to be shattered. My future father-in-law truly lives up to his reputation as the number one grandmaster in the capital!
There are differences between Grandmasters, and I still need to practice more... Xiao Yu thought to himself.
"Yes, I didn't use my full strength, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago!"
Liu Jingtao laughed loudly twice, then quietly tucked his swollen fist into his sleeve, and put one hand behind his back, pretending to be nonchalant.
This kid's martial arts talent is too strong; he almost capsized in a ditch! Liu Jingtao thought to himself.
