Marriage? Ouyang Yuxin was intelligent, and she understood immediately . Her beautiful face turned red, and her clear eyes emitted an enchanting splendor . Her expression at that instant bewitched the Ouyang family's disciples and caused them to stop moving .
Later, back at the mansion, Ouyang Long wore an old-fashioned expression . After hesitating for some time, he said leisurely, "What do you think of Mister Yin Yu?"
In Ouyang Yuxin's mind, Su Yu was cold, magnanimous, handsome, and ostentatious . He could, more or less, be compared with Mister Feng Yue . Whether she considered her own feelings or her family's interests, Su Yu was one of the best choices . Ouyang Yuxin could not find any strong reasons to decline the thought of marrying him .
She did, however, feel a bit dissatisfied . She understood well that her greatest value was her beauty and her innate training talent . Without even picking her partner carefully, she was about to be married to someone who was practically a stranger . Perhaps, if she had waited longer, she might have had some better choices!
"He gives off a good impression," she said . "However, Mister Yin Yu might not be interested in me . "
Ouyang Yuxin understood this point especially well . Thus far, Mister Yin Yu had not treated her with a very good attitude or said anything positive about her .
Ouyang Long said in a low voice, "If he wishes to obtain the Gray Dragon Coffin, he must marry you . Even if he doesn't want to marry… he still has to marry!"
"Father, do you mean you believe he has intentions of acquiring the Gray Dragon Coffin?" Ouyang Yuxin asked .
Ouyang Long shook his head . "Not necessarily . "
"Then, father, why is there a need to give him the Gray Dragon Coffin and also ask me to…" Ouyang Yuxin did not understand .
Ouyang Long sighed . "Because," he said, "our Ouyang family is now indebted to him! We, the Ouyang family, must repay him! The Zeng family can be ungrateful to us . However, the Ouyang family must repay our debts!" Ouyang Long continued sternly . "Moreover, the Zeng family is not the only family with their eyes on the Gray Dragon Coffin . If we could use this opportunity to give the Gray Dragon Coffin to the Phoenix Cabinet, we could dispel the fear of any possible troubles at home . At the same time, our family will become related to the Phoenix Cabinet . You will also have a lifelong partner who you can rely on . "
Ouyang Yuxin understood tacitly that her father had given the matter a lot of thought . Being related to the Phoenix Cabinet was of many times more worth than being related to the Feng family . However, Ouyang Yuxin was an extremely proud person . The fact that she had to marry Su Yu with so little thought filled her with dissatisfaction . However, her family was in danger, and she had no choice .
"I agree… If Mister Yin Yu is willing to marry me," said Ouyang Yuxin .
She could not help but sigh silently . A hint of gloominess darkened her eyes as she thought about the fact that her prime was about to end . She had to sacrifice herself for her family . Ouyang Yuxin had a slight feeling of resentment . This just wasn't fair .
One hour passed, and there was a knock at Su Yu's door . Su Yu woke from a state where he was training in seclusion .
The Ouyang family stood outside the door . "Thank you, Mister Yin Yu for helping us," Ouyang Long said from the other side of the door . "There is something that we would like to discuss with you . "
Su Yu said, indifferently, "Speak . "
Seeing that Su Yu had no intentions of inviting them inside, Ouyang Long felt Su Yu's coldness deeply . He had no choice but to stand outside the door .
"We, the Ouyang family," he said, "are willing to give you our family's treasure, which has been handed down through the generations in exchange for your kindness . However, we have one condition . I hope that in the future, you can look after my daughter and keep her safe her whole life . This is my one and only wish . " As a parent, it was difficult for him to let go of his children .
Inwardly, Su Yu sighed . He understood Ouyang Yuxin, but he could not bring himself to like her . Be it the fact that he had a fiancée or his thoughts on Ouyang Yuxin personally, it was impossible for him to agree to this ridiculous marriage . He graciously declined the offer .
"I appreciate the Ouyang family grandmaster's kindness," said Su Yu . "That incident was nothing, and you need not thank me . I only need Miss Ouyang to fulfill her promise to bring me into the Yunxiang Cabinet to celebrate the Yunxiang Cabinet Master's birthday . That alone is enough . As for Miss Ouyang's marriage, Ouyang family grandmaster, please consider carefully . Do not make her marry the wrong person and cause her to feel regrets for her whole life . "
The Ouyang family grandmaster was stunned . As for Ouyang Yuxin, her gloomy eyes started to glow and become brighter . Su Yu had actually… rejected her!
Ouyang Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief . However, though she did not know why, she could not bring herself to be delighted . This Yin Yu could not be convinced to feel any interest toward her, and it seemed it would stay that way .
In the end, it was a good thing . After all, Ouyang Yuxin's life was fated to be extraordinary . Yin Yu might not necessarily have been deserving of her!
"My decision is firm and there is nothing more to say," Su Yu added, as if reading the grandmaster's thoughts .
Ouyang Long sighed . "We, the Ouyang family, will forever remember your kindness, and we will repay you one day!"
Su Yu frowned . He did not reply but simply re-entered his training state .
Early the next morning, the sunlight was dim . Su Yu opened his eyes . Ouyang Yuxin had been waiting for a long time at the entrance . She wore luxurious phoenix clothes that showed off her captivating figure and extremely beautiful face . Her beauty was a rarity that could not be found locally .
Su Yu swept his eyes past her dully and said indifferently, "Let's go . "
By now, Ouyang Yuxin was used to being ignored by Su Yu . She grinned and led the way .
After four hours, they entered the heart of the Alliance City . A magnificent towering building stood before them . The two words "Yunxiang Cabinet" were clear and dazzling .
All the people in the Alliance City knew about Yunxiang Cabinet . It was a bustling place that had a highly prestigious reputation . There were many beautiful ladies in the cabinet who came from the Hundred Territories . By paying them a satisfactory price, one could get close to them and enjoy a sentimental night to the fullest .
Putting it in simple terms, the cabinet was a brothel! However, it was a top-grade brothel . If one did not have the proper abilities or identity, he would not be given the right to enter the brothel .
At that very day, the Yunxiang Cabinet Master invited outstanding geniuses of the Alliance City to gather together for a feast, and this was a grand occasion in the Alliance City because they knew that during the banquet, there would be a fight between the geniuses for the top spot .
At the entrance, Ouyang Yuxin took out her invitation card . The guard at the door was a strong martial artist of Dragon Realm Level Four, which was an even higher class than at the Heaven Treasure Building!
The entrance guard shot a glance toward Su Yu . "Who is he?"
"He is my… cousin who came from a distant place . He admires the Yunxiang Cabinet Master, and he is accompanying me to pay a visit . "
The entrance guard nodded . "Permission granted! However, if he causes any trouble, as the person who recommended him, you must take responsibility for his actions . "
Ouyang Yuxin smiled joyfully . "Naturally . "
"Eh . Big Sister Ouyang, you have come, as well," said a like a silver bell—pleasant to the ears . It was a 17-year-old young lady . She had a petite and dainty figure, a pretty face, two big and round eyes, and two ponytails that were swinging here and there . She wore a gilded blue skirt which danced along with the wind, serving as a foil to make her small body look delicate and appealing .
Su Yu's eyes flashed with familiarity . Xianer's silhouette flashed past his mind . Similarly, she was petite and dainty, which caused people to have tender affection for her .
"Sister Ouyang, who is he?" the girl asked . "Your attendant? Yes, he is passable . " However, the blue-skirted small little girl's mouth was quite sarcastic . Her two big eyes were glowing with craftiness .
Su Yu's positive first impression of her shattered with a bang . Although Xianer was mischievous like her, Xianer was pure, fine, and kind-hearted .
This woman was no Xianer .
"Little Sister Li Yan, stop your nonsense!" said Ouyang Yuxin . "He is my distant cousin and not my attendant . "
Ouyang Yuxin was annoyed . Why did she have to come across Li Yan? The Li family was an emerging and promising household . In the past, it had been below the Ouyang family . After the attack from the horde of beasts, it rose abruptly and became above the Ouyang family .
Li Yan and Ouyang Yuxin had known one another when they were young . They always competed with one another socially and were both materialistic girls . Ever since the day they met one another, it had been hard for them to not provoke one another .
Li Yan opened her small mouth . "Share with me! However, he really looks like your attendant . "
"What is your name?" Li Yan's big eyes looked Su Yu up and down as if guessing at Su Yu's identity .
Su Yu kept quiet and did not say anything . He was unwilling to mix with such a petty girl .
"Humph!" Li Yan said, standing with her small hands on her hips . She then raised her eyebrows indifferently, looked at Su Yu, and said in an annoying tone of voice, "The Ouyang family's servant is so haughty . You dare to ignore me?"
Ouyang Yuxin glared at her furiously, then shot a glance at Su Yu out of the corner of her eye . Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but after Li Yan inferring repeatedly that Su Yu was her attendant, it occurred to her that Su Yu really did look like her attendant .
In an instant, she felt a mix of anger and shame, as though she had lost her face . "Let's go in," she said . "We need not worry about her . "
"Yes," said Su Yu . "After we enter, we will split up and do our own things . After that, we will be even with one another . " Su Yu wanted to keep things simple and flexible .
After he entered, he separated from her straight away . He had a narrow escape . Regarding Ouyang Yuxin's thoughts, Su Yu's heart was as if it had a clear mirror . From the very start, he had been unwilling to interact much with Ouyang Yuxin . It was better for her to give Su Yu the cold shoulder, as they would then be no longer be associated with one another .
"Hey, you…" said Ouyang Yuxin . Su Yu left immediately, which caused Ouyang Yuxin to be taken aback . She extended her hand and was about to call out to Su Yu . However, behind her, she felt Li Yan's gaze, which implied that Li Yan had a conniving smile . Ouyang Yuxin had no choice but to withdraw her words, which had already arrived at her mouth .
It is good that he left, she thought . I can avoid being gossiped about by others .
