Chapter 106: Mysterious Son-in-Law
Chapter 106: Mysterious Son-in-Law
Coming back sometime before ...
In the Second World, in the Thousand Merchants City, in the northern part of the city, was the mansion of the Xiao clan. At that moment the mood of the city was rather lively for some and heavy for others, because some super clans of the first three worlds came to ask for a marriage arrangement with Fang Luoyang.
Everyone knew that she is the only apprentice of the Xiao clan matriarch, Xiao Zi, so who wants to marry Fang Luoyang, would have to ask permission for the matriarch. This subject put a lot of pressure on her.
Inside a mansion's large lounges, there were dozens of high-quality wooden chairs and tables, servants were pacing as they loaded trays of food and drink into the tables.
The tables were divided into five pentagon-shaped groups, four tables had banners, only one of the tables was empty with no guests. This scene attracted the attention of the guests. The table of the Xiao clan was the one on the tip of the Pentagon.
At that moment, the matriarch stands up and begins her speech.
"Good afternoon everyone, I apologize for not having a better reception, at times there are some extremely important matters that I need to attend, but as the marriage of my disciple is a very important issue, I decided to leave aside for the time being." The matriarch's voice was rather gentle, but also authoritative.
"No need to apologize matriarch, we all know that you are very busy with the issues of your clan and the alliance, it is us who apologize for appearing suddenly with this matter." The person who appeared to be the leader of one of the groups spoke and everyone nods their head in agreement with these words.
"I thank you as you all understand. As you had come to talk before and made the proposals, I will say my decision "The matriarch did not speak the name of the chosen immediately to leave everyone in suspense.
The three groups were in the expectation of being chosen because what each offered in return for this marriage contract was an absurd amount of wealth. Some elders sitting at the Xiao clan table had bright eyes because some of them would gain some reward if the group with whom they have an alliance is chosen.
"The person I chose to be the husband of my apprentice, Fang Luoyang, is part of that group." The matriarch pointed to the set of empty tables and chairs. This infuriated several people, while others were shocked by these words, everyone thought that the matriarch would be joking.
"Matriarch, we require an explanation for this. Do you think we are playing with it? "An old man with gray hair rose angrily. Many began to rise from the chairs and cast a glance toward the matriarch demanding an explanation.
"Of course there is an explanation for that. Those tables and chairs are reserved for a group that also wanted to marry my disciple, but none of them can attend. I received a message in advance about this, even if they can not come, as the hostess of this lunch, I have to prepare tables and chairs for them. "The matriarch's words managed to satisfy everyone, but they still wanted to know who this group was mysterious.
"Matriarch, we can know what this group offered as a wedding dowry to attract your attention." When these words were spoken, everyone looked at the matriarch, because each knew what they had offered, but for the matriarch to refuse her items by items of a mysterious group, this aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Check yourself." She spoke a few words before waving her hand, two bottles of pure white jade appeared on a silver platter that was floating.
Many had strange looks when they looked at the two bottles, those who had the ability to observe began to analyze the bottles. The more they looked at the information that appeared in their minds, the more frightened they were.
The people standing next to those who could see the item information were able to see the changes on their faces.
"Elder, what happened? What's in those bottles?" Whoever spoke was one of the people in the same group as the elder.
"That's ..." The old man could not describe what he was seeing.
This happened to all those who could see the information on the bottles, each one was quite stunned and shocked at what they saw. It took a while for someone to talk.
"Matriarch, this item would be ..."
"Yes, what's inside the bottle are drops of juice from the Fruit of Reconstruction." The matriarch interrupted some old man to speak, her words shocked everyone in the hall, including the elders at the same table as her.
"Matriarch, are you saying that some group offered ten drops of juice as their apprentice's dowry?" Many could not believe what they were hearing, some were doubting if they did not hear it wrong.
Many people were stunned when they heard the words, ten drops of juice from the Reconstruction Fruit, that amount was too much. For these super clans, only one of them offered one more drop more items like wedding dowry, no one ever imagined that anyone would offer ten drops.
Each one began to wonder if a woman with a beauty that could seduce even the demons and gods with a powerful background was worth that price ?? It was not worth it.
To these super powerful and influential clans, the emotion of love was worthless when there was the question of wealth and influence. So, many thought that the person who offered ten drops of juice fell in love with Fang Luoyang. That may be true, but these people will never understand the thoughts of Liu Yang.
"Yes, a person with a mysterious background offered ten drops." When the matriarch confirmed the contents of the bottle, many began to feel envy and jealousy.
These people also wanted a beautiful daughter like Fang Luoyang to attract this mysterious person because they thought that this mysterious person wanted her just for her beauty.
"Matriarch, may we know who this group would be?" Many had this doubt, because to get ten drops, this group ought to be anything but ordinary.
"I do not know who they are, every one of them was wearing black clothes that covered their faces, but I can tell that each of them was extremely strong." The matriarch's words had truth and lies together. It was true that she did not know the background of Liu Yang, the lie was that no one had come to visit, the person who brokered it was Xiao Xi.
Many were disappointed by these words, many began to sit and talk. This relieved the matriarch, she realized that the tension had subsided.
In the three groups of people who came, the possible bridegrooms were among them, none of the three liked the outcome of it, because it was a great humiliation for them. Each of them had arrogance for being born in super clans, they had everything they wanted, women, money, items, they never lacked anything.
But now, the woman they wanted was stolen by someone, that was the biggest humiliation of their lives. Each of them wanted to find this person to kill him.
Lunch was finished, but the weather was very tense. The news spread to the first three worlds, this caused a great shock in all the great powers, each one of them began to think of who the mysterious person would be to offer ten drops of juice in exchange for the marriage with the matriarch's apprentice.
The matriarch could only sigh when it was all over, a great burden was taken from her back after all the guests left. The elders beside the matriarch were looking at her with envious, jealous eyes, they wanted those ten drops, but they knew it was impossible.
With a wave of a hand, the servants began to clean the hall, the matriarch and her husband said goodbye to the elders and disappeared from the place. The two appeared in their own courtyard, the couple headed toward the bedroom, the matriarch was tired and happy with final result.
She began to think about the true identity of Liu Yang, she was curious about her mysterious son-in-law, the person who took her beloved younger daughter and her only apprentice.
"Husband, what do you think about our mysterious son-in-law?"
"I have no words to describe him, I was very shocked when his teacher managed to cure our daughter, but now he took ten drops of juice, that surprised me even more"
"Yes, I was surprised too." The husband noticed that his wife looked very tense, he hugged her and gave a kiss on the forehead.
"Husband ..." The two of them began to kiss before a hot scene started inside the room.
