Chapter 2186 - 1680: Proposing Marriage? You're Overthinking It!

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

Things have gotten to this point, and Xu Zixiao has truly had his reputation trampled by Qin Fang… This is a classic case of someone trying to show off and ending up looking foolish!

"Ahem, Sixth Brother, I think you're drunk; you should quickly go back and rest…"

Xu Zizhen was holding back laughter as he expressed his concern for Xu Zixiao, giving him an out.

If this continues, Xu Zixiao won't gain any advantage and might really be played to death by Qin Fang, which isn't necessary… It's not like there's any deep-seated hatred, it's about time to stop.

"I take my leave~~"

Xu Zixiao had no face to stay any longer, glanced at Qin Fang with some fear, and could only helplessly cup his fists to his friends nearby, quickly leaving… As for the beauty he vomited on, she naturally left with him; she probably needed to clean up, and her loss of face was not much less than Xu Zixiao's.

No other way, these people were just watching the show earlier, but some people's reactions were not quite normal, and the unlucky beauty was one of them… Otherwise, why would Xu Zixiao vomit on her in particular?

Of course, Qin Fang was the one causing trouble here…

Unfortunately, though people vaguely guessed it, they had no evidence, and they were already frightened by Qin Fang, so they dared not speak recklessly.

"Everyone, it's nice to meet you all. Please forgive me… Consider this glass of wine my toast to all of you. Let's say we're friends now! If there's a chance in the future, feel free to come to Dragon Country and find me, I will definitely accompany you for a few drinks…"

Since things got to this point, Qin Fang and Xu Zizhen didn't need to stay any longer, these young people probably had been scared out of their wits… Qin Fang had to raise his glass, say some polite words, and upon finishing his drink, left with Xu Zizhen.

It wasn't until Qin Fang and Xu Zizhen were far gone that these people relaxed, and each had a rather peculiar expression on their face.

"Brother Niu, are we just going to let it go like this?"

However, being frightened was one thing, but some people were still dissatisfied in their hearts, and as they saw Qin Fang leave, their courage returned, and someone immediately spoke to Brother Niu, the oldest and strongest among them.

"And what else can we do if we don't let it go? Do you dare to trouble him?"

This Brother Niu's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, clearly unhappy inside, but thinking of Qin Fang's strange tricks and Xu Zixiao's miserable end, he could only sigh helplessly.

Among these young people, Brother Niu's strength was definitely top-notch, even someone like Xu Zizhen, a Sword Cultivator, might not have attack power weaker than him, but if they really fought, Brother Niu would defeat Xu Zizhen without difficulty.

But the problem is, Qin Fang toyed with Xu Zixiao so easily, clearly they weren't on the same level… no matter how strong Brother Niu was, under Qin Fang's bizarre tactics, he'd only end up embarrassed, or possibly worse off than Xu Zixiao.

After all, this is the Xu family's turf, and while Qin Fang played Xu Zixiao, he still had to respect the Xu family and not be too harsh… but for him, an outsider? That's really uncertain.

"Brother Niu, we can't beat him, but aren't there other people who can?"

However, this kid clearly wasn't giving up, whispering immediately, "I heard that Master Tianfeng came to this birthday banquet for Old Master Xu…"

"Hiss~~~ Are you serious?"

Hearing this, Brother Niu's breathing became more rapid, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Has Master Tianfeng really come?"

"Yes, I've seen it before… It was Xu Ershao himself who received him; we couldn't reach him, so we didn't dare to greet him!"

The young man confirmed confidently.

"Hahaha… Good, very good! Master Tianfeng is here… now someone can avenge us! Let's go, let's all head over there…"

With the young man's confirmed response, Brother Niu immediately became more excited, with a much stronger smile on his face, immediately calling on the others to leave and find this Master Tianfeng.

"Master Tianfeng Lu Tianfeng?"

At this time, Qin Fang also learned such a name from Xu Zizhen, "Is he very famous?"

"Lu Tianfeng is the eldest son of the Tian Nan Lu Family, with extremely terrifying cultivation, said to have reached the Grandmaster realm… and although the Lu family isn't very famous, they control most of the underground forces in Southeast Asia, with considerable wealth and power, even our Xu Family wouldn't easily provoke them!"

Although Xu Zizhen wasn't a Martial Artist, he knew quite a bit about these prominent families, and briefly introduced this to Qin Fang.

"Oh, I see!"

However, Qin Fang clearly wasn't very interested in this.

Now except for those top-notch experts at the Great Grandmaster level, he doesn't really consider ordinary Grandmaster-level tier experts… among the Xu family, so far, the only one Qin Fang saw whose strength was worth paying attention to was that Sword Cultivation Elder, and the others… as strong as Xu Shaofeng, only had the fate of being toyed by Qin Fang!

This Master Tianfeng Lu Tianfeng, his strength may not necessarily surpass Xu Shaofeng, and even if he is indeed stronger, he would still end up being beaten by Qin Fang, so why should Qin Fang bother about him?

Moreover, Qin Fang and Lu Tianfeng don't even know each other, let alone have any conflicts, so there's nothing to be wary of.

"Are you not worried at all?"

But Xu Zizhen was staring at Qin Fang with a puzzled face, as if he was asking something he couldn't comprehend.

"What is there to be worried about?"

Qin Fang, however, was completely baffled by the question and retorted, showing a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Uh..."

Xu Zizhen was momentarily stunned, his smile slightly stiffening, and after a brief silence, he slowly said, "Lu Tianfeng has always wanted to marry Jiaojiao... It's just that our Xu family can't agree, but he never gives up, always using small tricks!"

"What's that got to do with me?"

Qin Fang frowned and then countered.

Xu Jiao is the pride and future heir of the Xu family, so it's impossible for her to marry out; they usually recruit men into the family...

And Lu Tianfeng's status means he's set to inherit the position of the Family Head in the Lu Family, and hence cannot marry into the Xu Family... This is the biggest and most irreconcilable contradiction.

But this is just the conflict between the Xu Family and the Lu Family, having nothing at all to do with him, Qin Fang, an outsider... Xu Zizhen's question to him was indeed inappropriate.

"You gave Jiaojiao an elixir, weren't you planning to propose to our Xu family?"

Xu Zizhen resisted the urge to explode, tried to suppress his emotions, and then asked very strangely.

"Pfft~~~"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang literally spewed out.

"Cough cough cough... Young Master Xu, let's not joke about this, alright? I have a weak heart..."

Qin Fang was almost choked to death by Xu Zizhen's words...

This imagination of the Xu family members is really too rich, he was merely expressing his gratitude for Xu Jiao's help by giving her a meeting gift, how did it turn into proposing to the Xu family? Don't the Xu family members know that it was just the first time he met Xu Jiao, and they didn't even speak more than three sentences?

"Uh..."

This time, it was Xu Zizhen's turn to be dumbfounded, with a more peculiar expression on his face, after a while, he said, "Young Master Qin, are you really not joking?"

"Can such jokes be made casually?"

Qin Fang glared at him, rebuffed indignantly.

Although Qin Fang has a lot of women around him and can be considered a playboy, he's not yet to the point of throwing himself at every pretty woman he sees, especially in such an unfamiliar situation.

"Oh my... Then why did you give such a precious thing like an elixir as a gift?"

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but explode, angrily rebuking, "Couldn't you have chosen something more ordinary? Would it kill you?"

It's understandable why Xu Zizhen was so enraged; elixirs have always been treasures in the martial world, especially high-grade ones that are extremely precious, with a value beyond simple monetary measurement...

But Qin Fang casually gave such a precious elixir, and even personally handed it to Xu Jiao... It's really hard for people not to misconstrue the intent.

Generally, Xu Jiao is not supposed to marry out as her talent is meant to sustain the Xu family's legacy, which is why, even though Lu Tianfeng, the eldest son of the large Tian Nan Lu Family, came to ask for marriage, the Xu family still refused.

However, it's not absolute... If there are suitable opportunities, Xu Jiao could also marry out.

For example, if Qin Fang, who can give away precious elixirs as if they're trash, has a powerful sect backing him, the Xu family could consider marrying Xu Jiao into it in exchange for many precious benefits like elixirs, secret techniques, and more...

Xu Jiao's talent might help her grow into a Great Grandmaster-level sword cultivator expert, capable of securing the Xu family's legacy for decades... but it's just maintaining the status quo.

If they could leverage Xu Jiao to gain more benefits from a Great Sect, like elixirs, secret techniques, etc., it could create more experts for the Xu family, thus protecting its legacy for much longer...

Many people would make such a choice.

Xu Zizhen also participated in the family's internal core meetings and wasn't entirely against a certain decision, though he wasn't too supportive either...

However, to his surprise, it seems all of this was just the Xu family's own fantasies; Qin Fang, one of the parties involved, certainly didn't have the intentions they had imagined...
