Beep beep beep!
A busy signal came through the phone.
Xu Chengyi was stunned.
Not only was Xu Chengyi stunned, but the old steward and Liu Quan were also stunned.
They were all a little confused.
What's up with this guy surnamed Lin?
Are you not planning to ask for a letter of recommendation?
Is this the attitude you should have when asking someone for a favor?
At this moment, Xu Chengyi panicked and hurriedly pulled the old butler aside to ask, "Butler, do you think this guy will really tell Junwei about this?"
The butler and Liu Quan exchanged a glance, both speechless.
Who can be sure?
Who can fathom the temperament of this young Marshal Lin?
Judging from their tone, they didn't take the letter of recommendation seriously at all.
What they thought was a bargaining chip was worthless in the eyes of the other party. Who knows what the other party will do next?
Xu Chengyi was filled with anxiety and slumped down weakly.
He covered his face helplessly, unable to hold back his sobs. After a moment, he murmured, "Do you think Junwei would still acknowledge me as his father if he really knew about this?"
The steward thought for a moment and couldn't help but comfort him, "My lord, I don't think you need to worry too much about this! Firstly, you were insane back then and accidentally harmed the madam. Secondly, it happened more than twenty years ago. The young marquis was still an infant at the time and had no memory of the madam, nor any deep feelings for her. So I think that even if he really knew, he wouldn't resent you too much!"
Hearing this, Xu Chengyi's expression finally softened a bit. He nodded and said, "You're right! Junwei has been raised by me alone since he was a child. He won't resent me, after all, he's my son! Lin Yu is shameless, actually using such despicable means to threaten me!"
"You think I'd obediently give in?"
"impossible!"
Xu Chengyi said coldly, "I have already promised Wu Tiande that I will not hand over the letter of recommendation. If I go against his wishes, my Xu family's title may be lost! So, even if Junwei really resents me for this, I will accept it! I, Xu Chengyi, may lose my head and shed blood, but my Xu family's title cannot be lost! If one day Junwei really finds out about this, even if he forces me to die, I will have no complaints!"
"My lord!" The old steward and Liu Quan's eyes reddened slightly.
Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern; the Marquis's love for his young son deeply moved them.
Xu Chengyi took a deep breath and said, "Let's pack up. Once Junwei is released from prison, we'll go back to our hometown, manage our agriculture properly, and develop it slowly. The future is still promising!"
At this moment, he no longer thought about making a comeback and decided to leave Guanzhong, this place of heartbreak.
At this moment, Liu Quan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "My lord, please don't be anxious. I just received a message that Li Qingcang, the Grand Master of the Martial Alliance, is about to return! I heard that he has made a major breakthrough in martial arts, and even the famous Elder Huaihai on the Wind and Cloud Ranking was defeated by him! This Lin Yu had a grudge against him before. Do you think Li Qingcang will let him off when he returns?"
Xu Chengyi's eyes lit up. "I almost forgot! This kid has been causing trouble in Guanzhong, and he has more than one enemy! Judging by the dates, the martial arts tournament is about to begin. Li Qingcang's return this time is likely to stir up a storm!"
Liu Quan smiled and nodded, saying, "My lord, since things are already like this, why don't we go and seek refuge with Chief Li? If he comes back this time and can kill this brat Lin Yu, we might have a chance to make a comeback with the help of the Martial Alliance!"
Xu Chengyi nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with joy. "You're right. Things have come to this point, I should pledge allegiance to the Martial Alliance! If Li Qingcang wins this time, my Xu family may still have a chance to rise again! Anyway, I have nothing left, so what is there to fear? Keep an eye out for Li Qingcang, and I will visit him as soon as he returns to Guanzhong!"
At this point, Liu Quan's face immediately turned awkward: "Master, Li Qingcang has already sent word that he will be back in the next two days. Moreover, he has already announced that all the families, large and small, in Guanzhong are required to come out ten miles outside the city and kneel to welcome him. This is quite a grand display!"
"Did he really say that?" Xu Chengyi frowned slightly.
The old steward quickly said, "My lord, what Li Qingcang is asking for is just an ordinary family! As a marquis, you don't need to lower yourself to go out of the city to welcome him. Just go see him when he returns; that's already giving him face!"
"No!" Xu Chengyi waved his hand, his eyes flashing, and said, "Times have changed! In the past, my Xu family was powerful and influential, and no one could match our status. As a marquis, I naturally had no need to lower myself!"
"But now, my Xu family is penniless, so what is there to hold us back?"
"At least I still hold the title of Marquis of Guanzhong, a title that is truly legitimate. With this title, I went ten miles outside the city to greet him with the respect due to a disciple, which is quite a show of respect for Li Qingcang! I expect that old man will look at my Xu family differently in the future!" Xu Chengyi said with a sneer.
Compared to the humiliation Lin Yu brought him, what did kneeling down to Li Qingcang matter?
Even Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, so what can't Xu Chengyi do?
The old butler and Liu Quan exchanged a glance, both unable to contain their excitement.
Having followed Xu Chengyi for many years, they knew his feelings very well.
A marquis who knows how to be patient and restrained is the most terrifying!
Perhaps the Xu family will really seize this opportunity to rise again!
...
Just as Xu Chengyi decided to go ten miles out of the city to personally welcome Li Qingcang.
Li Qingcang has also successfully broken through to the next realm and emerged from seclusion!
Bang!
With a loud bang, the waterfall, which was more than ten meters long, suddenly burst open.
