Chapter 982 982: What Wedding?
Qin Feng was left speechless by Master Jiujie's words and really wanted to give this stinky monk two slaps.Before he could make a move, someone from the Baili Family arrived and said, "The Family Head invites everyone to dinner."
"Great, thank you."
Qin Feng said.
He had no choice but to spare Master Jiujie for now.
Master Jiujie, still unrepentant at this point, said, "Big brother, drink more, it's easier to bring up the proposal after some wine."
"Get lost!"
Qin Feng picked up a shoe and smacked it toward his head.
In the dining room.
There were over twenty tables set up.
The first table, naturally, was for the elders of the Baili Family.
Qin Feng, Master Jiujie, Yu Xing'er, and the Heavenly River Taoist sat at the second table, along with the Family Head, Baili Yanghong.
Originally meant to sit at the third table, Baili Qiurong was now placed to Qin Feng's left.
The feast commenced.
The Baili Family was full of joy, after all, the demise of the Ghost Spirit King meant salvation for them.
Baili Yanghong raised his glass with a smile, leading the Baili Disciples as he said, "First, let's toast to Young Master Qin, we are deeply grateful for his rescue of the Baili Family and salvation of common people!"
The Baili Disciples also raised their glasses to toast Qin Feng.
"You're too kind, really no need for such formalities."
Qin Feng passionately returned the toast.
One must say, the wine brewed in the isolated Baili Family had a touch of Spiritual Energy and was quite delicious.
After toasting Qin Feng, everyone then toasted Master Jiujie and the others.
Qin Feng poured another glass to toast Baili Yanghong, hoping to ask more about the Array Formation later.
Just as he was about to raise his glass, Baili Qiurong gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Don't drink anymore!"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Qin Feng was puzzled.
"This wine is very strong, be careful of your..." she whispered, looking around cautiously before leaning close to Qin Feng's ear, "be careful not to speak out your bloodline secret after drinking too much."
"..."
Qin Feng sweatdropped.
He hadn't expected her to be worried about that.
At the same time, he suddenly felt she was quite good.
Though not very familiar with her, she kept his secret tightly, not even telling her father. One must admit, her figure... uh, no, her character was trustworthy.
"Don't worry, this little bit of wine is nothing."
Qin Feng smiled, refilling his glass, and toasted Baili Yanghong.
A glass of wine downed.
Qin Feng contentedly picked dishes, suddenly noticing Baili Yanghong still smiling at him warmly after drinking, murmuring, "Not bad, not bad, a man's got to have tolerance for drink, that's for sure..."
Feeling unnerved under the gaze, he said, "Mr. Baili, is there something on my face?"
"Oh, no, not at all, haha, let's drink more!"
Baili Yanghong laughed heartily.
After several rounds of drinks.
Baili Yanghong put down his glass, looked at Qin Feng, and said, "Young Master Qin, there's actually something I've been holding back, I thought of discussing it over tea tomorrow, but now..."
Baili Qiurong knew what he was going to say and her face turned crimson, she urged Qin Feng, "Quick, leave! My father is drunk!"
"Rong'er."
Baili Yanghong stopped her, "Don't be rude!"
Qin Feng also said, "Yes! I also have business to discuss with Mr. Baili."
"Young Master Qin, what do you wish to discuss with me?"
Baili Yanghong asked with a smile.
"It's about the Array Formation, I know the Baili Family has its rules, but it's truly important to me, it concerns..." Qin Feng tried to shamelessly explain that setting up the Array Formation was for the sake of common people, just like at the Southern Abyss Ghost Land, something he had already concocted a story for when he arrived.
Just then, before he finished, Baili Yanghong raised a hand and said with a smile, "A small matter, a small matter."
"Ah??"
Qin Feng was a bit confused.
This was completely different from the Baili Family rules he had heard of!
How did he agree so easily?
No wonder businessmen like to discuss deals over drinks, alcohol is indeed a good thing!
"I thank Mr. Baili in advance!"
Qin Feng immediately poured another glass of wine to toast Baili Yanghong.
Baili Yanghong laughed again, "However, you must take good care of my daughter in the future, you know, I have only one daughter, she's never left us since childhood, I hope you won't let her suffer."
"Ah?"
Qin Feng blinked in bewilderment.
What does this have to do with her?
"As for your wedding, I think tomorrow would be an auspicious day, even if a bit rushed, but since the decision's made, dragging it on is meaningless, otherwise the next good day won't be until next month. I'm afraid my precious daughter will have long dreams at night, hahaha..."
Baili Yanghong laughed.
"Father..."
Baili Qiurong's face was flushing red as she lowered her head, fearing others seeing it.
"..."
Qin Feng was also completely baffled, "What wedding?"
Master Jiujie laughed from the side, "Big brother, I told you all along, the best solution was to propose an alliance through marriage with the Baili Family, wasn't I right! Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly realized!
No wonder Baili Yanghong agreed so readily to the Array Formation, it was because he wanted him to marry Baili Qiurong!
"No, this won't do!"
Qin Feng quickly stood up, shaking his head and waving his hands.
Xiao Wu, Lin Xue'er, Yu Xing'er, Princess Isa, and so on, all made him feel sorry for his wife, now another one?
How could this be!
"Oh? What does Young Master Qin mean by this?"
Baili Yanghong said.
"Mr. Baili, although I really need help with the Array Formation, I absolutely cannot compromise my principles by using marriage as a bargain, so I cannot do this." Qin Feng declared righteously.
His words fell.
The scene instantly became quiet.
Baili Yanghong and others were all stunned.
Qin Feng had treated her twice and they had been in the room together while healing, it was assumed they had mutual feelings.
But why did he suddenly say this?
Gradually.
Baili Yanghong's face turned somber as he said, "Young Master Qin, may I ask, is it that you do not wish to take this responsibility? I know your great reputation, even Master Jiujie calls you big brother, and you saved my Baili Family, for which we are grateful, but no one can harm my daughter!"
"Father..."
Baili Qiurong stood up.
But Baili Yanghong continued, "You had that kind of encounter with my daughter, yet don't want to take responsibility, even if it disgraces my family or offends the heavens, I can't let you go!"
"Father, it's not like what you think."
Baili Qiurong hurriedly explained.
Qin Feng was at a loss for words, shrugging, "Maybe there's a misunderstanding, nothing happened between us!"
"Hmph, unwilling to admit it, I see!"
Baili Yanghong's face grew darker.
Qin Feng wanted to explain further.
At that moment, Yu Xing'er, sensing the situation was getting out of hand, quickly spoke up, "Mr. Baili, I think you misunderstood, my husband is not unwilling to marry Sister Rong'er."
"Oh? Then what is the reason?" Baili Yanghong's expression eased a bit.
"It's because Sister Rong'er is too excellent, he thinks Sister Rong'er would surely not agree, so for her sake, he said he was unwilling."
Yu Xing'er explained.
"..."
Qin Feng listened in bewilderment from the side.
What on earth was this all about?
