Chapter 118



Although Yang Wei had just fought his people, as a disciple of the renowned Cangmang Zhenren, some superficial courtesy was necessary.

“My master is well. And how is the old master of the Gu family?” Yang Wei asked cheerfully, sipping the hot tea from the table.

“My father passed away three years ago…” Gu Dezheng gave Yang Wei a perplexing look, unsure whether his ignorance was intentional or not.

“Oh…” Yang Wei was momentarily stunned, feeling awkward. Darn it, he had inadvertently brought up a painful subject for Gu Dezheng.

“Uncle Gu, I apologize, I was unaware of the old master’s passing.” Yang Wei looked at Gu Dezheng with apologetic eyes and sincerely apologized.

Forget it. You mentioned there’s an issue with our family’s feng shui. What’s that about?” Gu Dezheng didn’t dwell on the subject and instead focused on what interested him. He had some belief in these metaphysical matters.

“I need to see the Gu family’s ancestral grave to know for sure. Right now, I don’t have the details.”

Yang Wei shook his head.

Before descending the mountain, his master had only mentioned that there was a problem with the Gu family’s feng shui and asked him to help look into it.

“By the way, Uncle Gu, there’s another matter I’ve come for.” Yang Wei hesitated, scratching the back of his head.

“Speak your mind.”

“I’ve brought a marriage agreement made between my master and the old master of the Gu family.” Yang Wei took a deep breath and presented the marriage document to Gu Dezheng.

Gu Dezheng’s expression turned strange as he examined the document. After confirming its authenticity, he placed it back on the table, remaining silent for a while before speaking.

“I can’t make this decision. If you can win Yunqi’s affection, then there’s no problem.” Recalling this, Gu Dezheng remembered his father did mention this agreement.

He didn’t want to interfere too much in his daughter’s personal life. If Yang Wei could genuinely make his daughter fall for him, he wouldn’t object.

Relieved by Gu Dezheng’s response, Yang Wei was confident he could charm Yunqi. After all, he was a chosen one!

“Dad, I’m back~” While they were talking, Gu Yunxi stepped into the living room, looking cheerful.

“Back from school? Did something pleasant happen today?” Seeing his daughter, Gu Dezheng’s face lit up with a tender smile.

“Dad, do we have guests?” Gu Yunxi curiously eyed Yang Wei sitting opposite her father. She quickly lost interest – he looked so ordinary and was dressed shabbily, probably here to visit her dad.

“Indeed, this is Yang Wei, a disciple of Cangmang Zhenren. This is my second daughter, Yunxi.” Gu Dezheng introduced them.

“Miss Gu, hello…” Yang Wei flashed what he thought was a charming smile and greeted Yunxi, hoping to make a good impression on his future sister-in-law.

“Hello…” Gu Yunxi responded with a polite smile and headed upstairs to her room, with no intention of further conversation.

“Call your sister down.” Gu Dezheng called out to Yunxi, shaking his head with a wry smile.

“Okay.” Yunxi replied without turning back and hurried upstairs.

“Don’t mind her, that’s just how she is.”

“It’s fine.” Yang Wei laughed. He wasn’t so petty as to get upset over her reluctance to talk more.

“Dad, you wanted to see me?” Gu Yunqi yawned as she descended the stairs, looking half-asleep.

“Just woke up? What time do you think it is?” Gu Dezheng looked at Gu Yunqi with some exasperation. His elder daughter was perfect in many ways, except for her love of sleep and a bit of a drinking habit.

Yang Wei stared at Gu Yunqi’s stunning beauty, momentarily dazed. Is this really my fiancée? Such heavenly beauty! Gu Yunqi was wearing tight jeans and a plain white t-shirt, accentuating her perfect figure.

“Stop staring, or your eyeballs will fall out.” Gu Yunqi, aware of Yang Wei’s gaze, sneered coldly.

Embarrassed, Yang Wei touched his nose and prudently averted his gaze.

“Dad, is this your friend?” Gu Yunqi turned to Gu Dezheng with a furrowed brow, not recalling when her father made such a clueless friend.

“No, he’s your fiancée.” Gu Dezheng shook his head, not hiding the fact from Gu Yunqi. Such matters couldn’t be concealed anyway.

“Oh, a fiancé, huh… What do you mean! When did I get a fiancé?” Gu Yunqi was stunned, then bewilderedly asked. She had no idea about any fiancé.

“This marriage was arranged by your grandfather. The man is a disciple of Cangmang Zhenren, highly skilled in martial arts, perhaps a suitable match.”

Gu Dezheng earnestly advised his daughter, knowing she wasn’t fond of just anyone. That’s why she hadn’t had a boyfriend all these years. As she grew older, he naturally worried more, hoping to see grandchildren soon.

Yang Wei’s character was yet to be observed, but as a disciple of Cangmang Zhenren, his martial prowess shouldn’t be lacking, right?

“What era is it? Still practicing arranged marriages?” Gu Yunqi looked at Gu Dezheng with some disbelief and dissatisfaction in her heart!

She already considered herself as Jiang Che’s woman. How would he react to this news?

She knew Jiang Che could be petty! He would surely use this to tease her again!

Gu Dezheng glanced at Yang Wei helplessly, as if to say he had done all he could. He wouldn’t force his daughter to marry someone she disliked. That wouldn’t bring happiness.

But since his father had arranged this marriage and Yang Wei had shown up, he couldn’t just kick him out. What would others think of the Gu family?

“Miss Gu, let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Wei, 21, from Cangmang Mountain…” Yang Wei sat upright, starting to introduce himself to Gu Yunqi in a very serious manner.

“Stop, stop, stop… Don’t bother, I’m not interested. I have someone in my heart, you don’t need to waste your effort on me. I won’t like you.”

“And next time you meet a girl, remember to dress more appropriately. Dressing like a beggar won’t win anyone’s favor.” Gu Yunqi cut him off, looking at him with disdain and a mocking expression.

A bumpkin from the mountains, knowing nothing. At least wear something normal without patches!

“I…” Hearing Gu Yunqi’s rebuke, Yang Wei’s face turned red with embarrassment. He regretted not changing his clothes before coming. He knew his attire was a bit inappropriate, but he was too eager to meet his fiancée.

“Enough, he’s a guest.” Gu Dezheng frowned at Gu Yunqi. Regardless, Yang Wei was a guest today, and her sharp tongue was inappropriate.

“Hmph, if you want to marry him, go ahead, but I won’t.” Gu Yunqi snorted and stood up, heading upstairs.

“Come back here!” Gu Dezheng called after her in annoyance, but Gu Yunqi ignored him, continuing upstairs. This left Gu Dezheng feeling quite irritated, not realizing until now how stubborn his daughter could be.

“Nephew, this… My daughter is just like that, don’t take it to heart.” Gu Dezheng turned to Yang Wei, apologizing.

“Of course not, Miss Gu is a woman with character, which I quite admire…” Yang Wei forced a smile, but his clenched fists betrayed his true feelings.

…………

Back in her room, Gu Yunqi, frustrated and agitated, threw pillows around the bed.

“Hmph! That scruffy-looking guy dares to covet my beauty!”

Suddenly, she seemed to have an idea, and a sly smile appeared on her face. She took out her phone and sent Jiang Che a text message.

[Whine, whine, whine~ I’m being forced into marriage, you better come soon or I’ll be taken by someone else.]. [Sobbing~].
