Without waiting for Qin Haitian to answer, he sighed again and said slowly: "To be honest, the reason why I acted this way is because our Lei family has been closely watched by the Heavenly Demon Sect, and they want us to obey their orders. We are actually very worried that if the Heavenly Demon Clan knew that you had rescued us, they would definitely be angry with you! You know, the Heavenly Demon Sect has always been famous for its cruel methods, and its revenge is so cruel that ordinary people can't bear it. So here, I want to ask you, are you fully prepared to face this terrifying existence with our Lei family? If you have made this determination, then I can rest assured to betroth our Lei family's eldest lady, the emperor's daughter Xue Ning, to you!"
After Lei Tingjun finished speaking, all the senior members of the Lei family present showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. They exchanged glances with each other, secretly admiring in their hearts.
"Oh, the old patriarch is still so smart! This tactic of retreating to advance is just right! I originally thought that the old patriarch suddenly changed his personality and became more loyal and righteous, no longer caring only about the family's gains and losses like before. I didn't expect that he is so far-sighted!" One of the senior members of the Lei family couldn't help but whispered.
It was indeed as the elder said. If Qin Haitian did not have deep feelings for Lei Xue Ning, he would be afraid after hearing that he might be retaliated by the Heavenly Demon Sect, and would back off and give up the idea of becoming a Taoist couple with Lei Xue Ning. After all, in this vast Zhongzhou continent, apart from a few top families and top forces, who would dare to easily provoke the powerful and ruthless Heavenly Demon Sect?
"That's right! The old patriarch acts as experienced as always." The senior members of the Lei family were communicating with each other through voice transmission, with joy flashing in their eyes.
At this moment, Qin Haitian, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him. He smiled and said calmly, "I know! Xue Ning has already told me about these things. Since I have decided to become a Taoist partner with Xue Ning, I will naturally choose to face the crisis facing the Lei family with you without hesitation!"
Qin Haitian's words were like a thunderclap, exploding throughout the Lei family. In an instant, the already heavy atmosphere seemed to freeze, and everyone was stunned. For a moment, no one could respond.
"Really? Aren't you afraid at all?" After a long time, someone asked stutteringly.
"That's the Heavenly Demon Sect! One of the most powerful and terrifying top forces in the entire Central Plains!" Another person's voice trembled, obviously full of fear of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"Friend Qin, you must think it through! Do you really know what you are talking about?" Some older people couldn't help but remind him. They knew the horror of the Heavenly Demon Sect and were afraid that the young man in front of them would make a wrong decision because of impulse.
However, facing everyone's doubts and concerns, Qin Haitian just grinned, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, and answered frankly: "Of course I know what I'm talking about! As for the Heavenly Demon Sect, as far as I know, it is a super power with Nine Palace Realm masters in charge. There are many Eight Gate Realm Supreme Elders in their sect, and their strength is unfathomable; there are countless Seven Star Realm Inner Gate Elders. And I heard that their saint sons are gifted, either masters who have reached the perfection of the Four Star Realm, or peerless monsters who have just entered the Five Elements Realm. They can be regarded as one of the top geniuses in the entire Zhongzhou!"
Listening to Qin Haitian telling the story in detail, without any fear of the Heavenly Demon Clan on his face, it seemed as if he was just talking about some trivial matters that were not worth mentioning?
The monks from the Lei family felt absurd as they watched Qin Haitian talking.
Could it be that this guy is ignorant and fearless?
No, obviously not. How could a man in his fifties or sixties be ignorant and fearless?
Moreover, reaching the Six Harmonies Realm is not something that can be achieved at this age just by having talent.
In Zhongzhou, even if you are a hundred years old, you can be considered young!
Just like the Wanzong Competition in Zhongzhou, anyone under a hundred years old can participate!
Like Lei Xue Ning's parents, they look like ordinary middle-aged men, but in fact, they are both over a hundred years old.
The corners of Lei Xue Ning's mouth curled up. After hearing what her grandfather Lei Tingjun said next, she realized that she had been overthinking. It turned out that even her grandfather was not as open-minded as she imagined. However, wasn't her grandfather shooting himself in the foot?
Since Qin Haitian said so, she didn't believe that her grandfather, who had the dignity to spare, would take back what he had said before, right?
"Ahem..." The old patriarch Lei Tingjun coughed twice and said slowly: "Since young friend Qin is well aware of the pros and cons and is mentally prepared to face the Sky Demon Clan, then I will not say much! I only hope that you can be of one mind and work hand in hand. No matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter in the future, you can stand together through thick and thin and share weal and woe." Having said that, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
However, now that things have come to this, since the other party is not afraid at all, what can he do? Moreover, after some observation and understanding, this Qin Haitian is a good candidate. Although there are many women around this boy, in his eyes, these are not a big deal. The only thing that makes him a little regretful is that it is said that Qin Haitian is not from a famous family or a powerful force, so he is not the best choice for his family's marriage.
"Grandpa, you can rest assured!" Qin Haitian strode forward, his face filled with a confident and hearty smile, his voice as loud as a bell, and his tone was extremely firm: "Since I am willing to become a Taoist partner with Xue Ning, no matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead is, or what difficulties, obstacles and crises we are about to face, we can overcome them all the way." His voice was calm when he spoke, but the whole person exuded a heroic spirit of forging ahead and fearlessness. The momentum seemed to be able to break through the clouds, making people look at it sideways.
At this moment, Lei Xue Ning, who had been standing aside and listening quietly, trembled suddenly, like ripples suddenly appearing on the calm lake. Her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with crystal clear tears, shining like the bright stars in the night sky. Tears slid down her jade-like cheeks, leaving two clearly visible tear marks. However, these tears were not tears of sadness, but tears of happiness full of affection and emotion. At this moment, her eyes were like a magnet, tightly locked on the man in front of her who made her fall in love with him, and the love in her eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved.
