Chapter 21: Slap the Puxin Brothers and Sisters
Lu Chi found that Qiao Ye's shoulder was easy to put his arm around, so when they were not fighting, he would put his arm around Qiao Ye's shoulder from time to time.
Qiao Ye felt hot, so she patted herself to get rid of the heat. After a while, Lu Chi came over again.
When Tao Cancan's team faced Lu Chi, Lu Chi was putting her arm around Qiao Ye's shoulders and chatting with her. Seeing this, Tao Cancan was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Tao Cancan, the noble daughter of a wealthy family, pointed at Qiao Ye and said in a trembling voice, "Classmate Ye Qiao, if I were you, I wouldn't be so shameless as to try to cling to the rich and powerful even though I'm so lowly! Lu Chi, look carefully, this man is just an ordinary person. Do you really have to be with such an ordinary person?"
Lu Chi and the other five had a meal together and felt that this woman was really irritating and very inexplicable.
Qiao Bang angrily said, "Are you sick, woman? Who do you think you are? Are you Lu Chi's wife? Why are you so nosy?"
Lu Chi: "Qiao Bang, stop talking nonsense. I'm engaged."
Qiao Bang was surprised and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you retreat?"
Lu Chi glanced at Qiao Bang.
Lu Chi's eyes were cold, and Qiao Bang got goosebumps. He immediately said, "Yes, yes, our Young Master Lu is still engaged, and it's not the turn of some questionable woman outside to interfere. Tao Cancan, who do you think you are? Why do you care about Lu Chi?"
Tao Cancan's expression cracked. "Are you engaged?"
Tao Di frowned. Before school started, the Tao family went to the Lu family to propose marriage. Although they were rejected, they had not heard about the engagement.
Tao Cancan: "Why don't I know?!"
Lu Chi's eyes were cold: "Why should you know?"
In the imperial capital, the Lu family and the Qiao family have a good relationship and share a lot of information with each other, just like Lu Junliang can get news about Qiao's sister from Qiao Xiu, and Qiao Bang can get news about Lu Chi's broken engagement from Lu Junliang.
But outsiders have no way of knowing the news about these two families.
Lu Chi had a good impression of the Qiao family and "George". Although they had not yet developed a romantic relationship, Lu Chi had never resisted this marriage. Although the engagement had been cancelled, it could still be used to ward off bad peach blossoms.
Of course, he would not ruin the reputation of the younger sister of the Qiao family, nor would he conceal the fact that the Qiao family had another younger sister.
Tao Cancan roared: "I don't believe it!"
Tao Di stopped her frantic sister and said to Lu Chi, "Before school started, our Tao family went to the Lu family to ask for a marriage, asking for your hand in marriage to my sister Tao Cancan. Lu Chi, did you know?"
Qiao Bang: “!” Xie Chen: “!” Qiao Ye: “!” Ying Qiao: “…”
The four people were highly focused on gossiping.
Lu Chi: "I don't know."
Tao Cancan: "You don't know?"
Lu Chi: "I'm already engaged, and my father can't possibly agree to marry you, the Tao family."
Tao Di frowned. Tao Cancan was so in love with Lu Chi that she kept pestering the elders, saying she wanted to marry him. Grandpa had to go to Major General Lu to ask for his permission.
Lu Chi was right, this marriage was rejected by Major General Lu.
Tao Cancan asked impulsively: "Who is your engagement? Who is your fiancée?!"
Tao Di pulled Tao Cancan, but Tao Cancan refused to accept it.
"Brother, I'm an A-level guide. You said an A-level guide is already very powerful in the empire. I've never asked for anything except Lu Chi. We're such a good match, why didn't he choose me?!"
Tao Cancan suddenly turned to Lu Chi like crazy and shouted, "Could your fiancé be a guide better than me?"
Lu Chi stared at her coldly: "Ms. Tao, please take back your rudeness."
Tao Cancan: "I don't care! Brother, I want Lu Chi!"
Outside the monitoring room, the deans of each college and the instructors pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.
The instructors of the First Army were curious about the marriage agreement Major General Lu had arranged for Lu Chi. They also weighed the overall strength of the Tao family. But after hearing Tao Cancan's repeated outbursts, they all unanimously disliked the guide.
"Why is the daughter of the Tao family so arrogant?"
"After all, he's an A-level guide, and A-level guides are already rare treasures in the empire."
"Xie Chen, an S-rank guide, isn't arrogant. How could she possibly have a chance?"
"Spoiled."
"Why don't you care about Lu Chi? I'm really curious about who Lu Chi is engaged to."
Qiao Yuanyu tapped the chair with his hand. Qiao Xiu lowered his head and heard his father say, "Find something for the Tao family to do."
It was rare for Qiao Xiu not to go against Qiao Yuanyu: "Okay, father."
Even if the Qiao and Lu families wanted to cancel the engagement, the Qiao family could not bear to see Lu Chi being forced by the Tao family like this.
Since it has become a family issue, let's solve it in a family way.
Tao Di had no idea how much trouble her sister had brought to the Tao family.
In his opinion, his sister likes Lu Chi, but the Lu family has rejected the marriage. This means that the Lu family does not give face to the Tao family, and the Lu family should feel guilty.
As for the Lu family's marriage partner, there was no way she could be better than his sister.
"Lu Chi, no matter what, your Lu family rejected the marriage proposal from my Tao family. As a man, you should apologize to my sister."
Before Lu Chi could reply, Qiao Bang couldn't stand it anymore. "You're crazy! My brother Lu and your sister don't even know each other. If she wants to get married, she can get married. My brother Lu refused and I feel inferior to her. And you're even saying sorry? How can you have the nerve to ask my brother Lu to apologize? In all these years, I've only met such a weirdo like you."
Tao Cancan said angrily: "Qiao Bang, although the Qiao family is powerful, you are not a member of the Qiao family, you are just an adopted son! You are as lowly as that Ye Qiao, what right do you have to say that about my brother!"
On the other end of the surveillance camera, the armrest of Qiao Yuanyu's chair suddenly broke.
The instructors and deans straightened their backs nervously.
Qiao Xiu secretly calculated. It seemed that it was not just as simple as finding something for the Tao family to do.
Qiao Bang: "Although I'm an adopted son, my father loves me, my mother loves me, and my brothers all love me. What's wrong with being an adopted son? You two are sick, and you're taking over my affairs! What else is there to say, Lu Chi, just start fighting."
Lu Chi looked down at Qiao Ye, who was hugging him under his arm, and asked, "What do you think?"
Qiao Ye glanced at the five second-year students in front of him and said, "Beat them up."
Lu Chi smiled at Qiao Ye, then took his arm away from her shoulder and rubbed her head. "Okay."
Qiao Ye, whose head was being rubbed, was speechless.
Lu Chi smiled and said, "Qiao Qiao, stand behind me."
Lu Chi and Tao Di faced off, and the other players on both sides automatically stood behind them.
Qiao Ye asked Qiao Bang: "What level of sentinel is that Ocarina?"
Qiao Bang: "SS-level."
Qiao Ye's brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked a little worried.
Qiao Bang whispered: "There are differences between SS-level and SS-level. Brother Lu is not an ordinary SS-level, so don't worry."
Qiao Ye sensed the mental power of the two people and his brows relaxed.
"That ocarina's mental strength isn't very good."
Qiao Bang said to Qiao Ye with a smile: "You can see that too."
Xie Chen said, "It's really not good. Tao Di's mental power is at least 80, while Lu Chi's mental power seems to have been baptized, especially stable and healthy."
