Devour the Ancient Emperor

Somewhat surprised.

Su Chen didn't seem to expect that Xiao Pang would make such a choice.

"Just give up?"

"Yeah."

"Don't plan to try again?"

"No more."

"I think Doudou's attitude towards you has improved a lot."

Xiao Pang sighed deeply and said helplessly: "That's because you saved her, she is grateful to you, or because of other reasons, but it's definitely not love. If I continue like this, it will only waste time and delay you. It's unnecessary."

Hearing this, Su Chen probably understood Xiao Pang's helplessness.

If there is a chance, I believe Xiao Pang will never choose to give up.

He wanted to say something, but in the end Su Chen swallowed it back.

He didn't know what he should say.

What can he say.

"Boss, I will solve my own problems. Now let's think about how to lure out Xiao Sanxiao and successfully kill the sword man and leave."

"Yeah."

Two days later.

Xiao Xianzhang, the head of the Xiao family, and Gong Kun, the city lord, brought Xiao Sanxiao to the Shi family.

"What's going on? The Xiao family and the Shi family have always been at odds. Why are they coming here in such a big way today?"

"I just got the news that the Xiao family is going to propose marriage to the Shi family."

"Propose marriage? Who proposes marriage to whom?"

"Of course it's Xiao Sanxiao and Shi Qingyi."

"Is the Shi family willing?"

"Of course they are willing. With the death of the Shi family's ancestor, the Shi family is now in a very bad state. If they can rely on the Xiao family, there will be no problem for the Shi family to continue to stand in Yongsheng City. Otherwise, the Xiao family and the Duanmu family will join forces and the Shi family will be finished sooner or later."

There were discussions everywhere.

Because it is well known that the Xiao family and the Shi family are very unfriendly, and even want to annex the Shi family.

Who would have thought.

The situation suddenly changed. Not only did the Xiao family not take action, but they wanted to propose marriage to the Shi family. What's going on? It was somewhat unexpected to everyone.

Shi family.

In the lobby.

Shi Ye's face showed no dissatisfaction or anger. Two days ago, he personally went to the city lord and got the answer that the city lord wanted the Shi family and the Xiao family to marry. In this way, not only can the Shi family be saved, but also the Eternal Life City can be stabilized.

As the city lord of Eternal Life City, Gong Kun must want stability in the city.

Reject?

How to refuse?

Shi Ye knew very well that if he refused the marriage, then the Xiao family would join hands with the Duanmu family, and with the support of the city lord's mansion, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Shi family, and it would even seriously affect the life and death of the Shi family.

As the head of the Shi family, Shi Ye certainly did not want to see the family in trouble.

"Brother Shi, this is the betrothal gift and the engagement letter. After today, our two families will be relatives. I can promise that we will be one family in the future."

Gong Kun also smiled and said, "Today I will make the decision. The two families will be married. From today on, you will assist the City Lord's Mansion in managing the Eternal Life City together."

Shi Ye cursed Gong Kun fiercely in his heart, but he had no way to deal with it. The two families joining forces was already very troublesome. If he offended the City Lord's Mansion again, it would be very troublesome for his family.

At this moment.

Shi Qingyi suddenly stood up and said, "City Lord, to be honest, just half a month ago, Su Chen and I had already made an engagement. Strictly speaking, I am now Su Chen's fiancée, so I can no longer agree to Xiao Sanxiao's proposal. Sorry."

"Qingyi."

"Father, this is the truth. I can't lie. A good woman doesn't marry two husbands. If I didn't have an engagement, I would definitely not refuse, but now I can't agree to the Xiao family's proposal. Please forgive me, Xiao family and the city lord."

Shameless!

Xiao Sanxiao's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous intent. He certainly understood that Su Chen and Shi Qingyi did this on purpose. Shi Qingyi had said this before, but he didn't care at all.

Because in Xiao Sanxiao's opinion, Shi Qingyi would definitely not dare to do this. After all, this matter concerns the life and death of the Shi family. As the daughter of the head of the Shi family, would Shi Qingyi dare?

"Shi Qingyi, you did it on purpose."

"Xiao Sanxiao, whether I did it on purpose or not is not up to you to decide. I decide my feelings. Su Chen and I are in love with each other."

"City Lord, I can guarantee with my life that Su Chen and Shi Qingyi are fake. They did it on purpose to reject my marriage proposal."

Waving his hand to stop his angry son, Xiao Xianzhang said with a smile: "It's okay. Do you two have a marriage certificate? If you do, you can take it out and see it."

Shi Qingyi shook her head and said: "No, we are secretly engaged for life, and we haven't had time to get a marriage certificate yet, but we will have a marriage certificate soon, so I won't bother Mr. Xiao about this."

"If we didn't propose marriage, you would have said it in advance. Then this matter has nothing to do with our Xiao family, but now, if we leave like this, won’t we become a joke in the entire Yongsheng City. ”

Xiao Xianzhang looked at Gong Kun and said with a smile: "City Lord, since Miss Shi and Su Chen don’t have a marriage certificate, then this marriage contract does not count, then my Xiao family’s marriage proposal is still valid, what do you think? ”

Gong Kun nodded, looked at Shi Ye, and said: "Master Shi, a marriage contract without a marriage certificate cannot count at all, and this Su Chen openly provoked my Xiao family and robbed my Xiao family’s products, so please ask the city lord to order and kill Su Chen directly. ”

“Let’s see who dares! This is the Shi family, not the Xiao family. He and I have been together these days. When did he rob your Xiao family’s products? How come I don’t know. ”

Immediately protecting him in front of Su Chen, Shi Qingyi certainly understood what the Xiao family meant, which was that they wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. It was shameless to want to get rid of Su Chen with the help of the city lord without taking action himself.

"Master Xiao is joking. Although they don't have a marriage contract, we can't annul the engagement. As for Su Chen robbing your Xiao family's property, that's a personal grudge between your Xiao family and him. Our City Lord's Palace will not interfere. You guys The matters between the two families should be settled by oneself.”

Gong Kun will definitely not get involved in this matter. He is not a fool. Of course he understands that Xiao Xianzhang wants to kill people with a borrowed knife. The more this happens, the less he can act rashly.

Gong Kun's current meaning is very simple, that is, let the three major families kill each other, preferably with their strength greatly reduced, so that it is easier for him to manage. Otherwise, if any one family is too powerful, it will not be a good thing for the City Lord's Mansion.

They are all old foxes. Even though they all have their own agendas, everyone wants to maximize their profits.

How could Xiao Xianzhang not understand what the city lord meant? He thought for a while and said, "In this case, I can only ask the Shi family to hand over Su Chen. This is a personal grudge between my Xiao family and Su Chen. I believe that the Shi family must You won’t protect this person, right?”

The tone was very calm, but there was no doubt about Xiao Xianzhang's meaning. He stared at Shi Ye in front of him, and his intention was very clear, that is, he wanted the Shi family to surrender immediately.
