828. Chapter 828 Rejected Marriage (1/2)

"Commander Xiao Yan! We want to become stronger!"

The next day, as soon as Xiao Yan stepped into the training ground, Ling Quan led everyone in the third unit to come to Xiao Yan and begged him with firm expressions. Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, glanced at the people following Ling Quan, and finally looked at him. He fixed it on Lingquan's face, stared at him for a long time, and asked slowly.

"What do you want to do after you become stronger?"

"Do nothing." Lingquan replied without hesitation: "I just hope that when I need to use force in the future, I won't be as powerless as yesterday!"

Looking at Ling Quan's eyes without any evil thoughts, Xiao Yan raised his lips slightly.

Is it necessary to use force? "Okay." Xiao Yan faced him, and before Ling Quan showed joy, he continued: "But in this case, the training given to you before is far from enough. Are you sure?"

Xiao Yan said this with a smile, and everyone's hearts tightened when they saw Xiao Yan's smile.

Was the previous training not enough?

Even Lingquan couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked cautiously.

"Well, Commander Xiao Yan, can you ask me what kind of training it is?"

"Well——" Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then raised a finger, "Let's put it this way, you should first recall the previous training in your mind."

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone recalled the previous training content in their minds, including running 500,000 kilometers without stopping while carrying a load five times more than their body within the time limit, and carrying a load ten times more than their body without stopping. Doing 50,000 push-ups intermittently, etc. To be honest, with this amount of training, if Xiao Yan had not allowed the use of fighting spirit and prepared sufficient pills to keep them going, they would have been exhausted long ago.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished their memories, Xiao Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, slowly turned his back and said leisurely.

"Training like that will feel like enjoyment later on."

"."

Everyone was silent.

The next moment, like a chain of fear, everyone turned and fled in unison, but countless black chains suddenly sprang out of the void, tightly wrapping everyone and unable to move.

Then, under the horrified eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan, who was holding the other end of the chain, slowly walked towards them, with a devilish smile on his face.

"Since you have already asked, how can you back down? I hate people who give up halfway." Xiao Yan stood in front of Lingquan, his temperament was as warm and cheerful as before, but at this time, Lingquan was rushed to the bone marrow. Han said, "Even our brothers and sisters of the Xiao family can withstand these trainings. You are the outstanding children of the eight ancient clans, so you will definitely be fine."

The wider the smile on Xiao Yan's face, the more fearful the Lingquan crowd became.

"Don't worry, I'm an alchemist, I can take care of the elixirs."

Is it just because the elixir is enough to make it more scary? ! !

Everyone's bodies were shaking like chaff, and Xiao Yan also had an extremely rare sinister smile.

"Jiejiejie~"

After that, passers-by on the street noticed that the number of times that the Third Troop came to do voluntary labor decreased a lot.

In contrast, the shrill wails from the third unit became more frequent.

Three days later, Prince Heiyan's residence was revealed.

Gu Lie's brows twitched slightly as he looked at the list of medicinal materials he had collected. After a long time, he looked up at Xiao Yan, who was standing directly opposite.

"Do you want fifty copies of all these things?"

"Is it really a bit much?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said helplessly: "Then change to some lower-end medicinal materials."

"No, I told you when I handed over the third unit to you that I will try my best to help you as long as I can. Although these medicinal materials seem to be quite valuable outside, they are nothing to the ancient people." Gu Lie interrupted him and said, and then his eyes showed doubts, "I'm just curious, why do you need so many medicinal materials?"

"We have been training the third unit these days. These medicinal materials can help them get twice the result with half the effort. Since I have accepted your commission, Xiao will naturally do his best."

Xiao Yan answered very frankly. Gu Lie looked at Xiao Yan's selfless eyes and nodded lightly.

"Okay, I'll ask Qinghan to prepare it for you later. I really want to see what kind of flowers you can make for me."

Gu Lie put the list of medicinal ingredients on the table. Xiao Yan stood up and clasped his fists in greeting. When he turned around and came to the door, Gu Lie suddenly spoke.

"As for the alliance, the clan leader and the elders have almost reached a conclusion through discussion." Gu Lie stood up on his knees, met Xiao Yan's eyes and said: "The clan leader and elders are unanimously inclined to agree, but they just agreed directly. It seems a bit too hasty.”

"You also know the prestige that the Ancient Clan represents on the entire continent. Even if the Tianhe Alliance is the largest force in Zhongzhou now, it is still far behind the Ancient Clan. If we form an alliance so easily, it will have some impact on the Ancient Clan's prestige. ”

After Xiao Yan heard this, he turned sideways and looked at Gu Lie.

"This junior also thinks so, so I have a suggestion."

"Just do as you say."

Before Xiao Yan said what the proposal was, Gu Lie immediately accepted it, relying on trust, which made Xiao Yan completely confused.

"You are a smart man, and so are we. Smart people naturally have the same ideas." Gu Lie smiled and shrugged, and said softly: "The representative sent by the ancient tribe this time is still Qinghan. As for the others, I will I am selecting some juniors for Qinghan to take to the Tianhe Alliance, and they will bother you in the next few years."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan cupped his hands and saluted Gu Lie solemnly.

"Thank you, senior."

On the surface, Xiao Yan was as calm as water, but inside he was already very excited. Although he had almost guessed that this would happen before, he was naturally happy now that he had received a specific answer.

Gu Lie waved his hand lightly and sat down again.

"Go ahead, there are still two weeks until the Black Annihilation Army's combat trial. I hope you can give me a surprise."

"Xiao Yan will definitely live up to his trust."

Looking at Xiao Yan's leaving figure, Gu Lie picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then let out a long sigh.

How could such a good seedling be born in the Xiao family? When Gu Lie sighed, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the gate of the mansion.

"Enter."

Then the door of the mansion was pushed open, and Gu Qinghan stepped in.

"Lord Gulie, I."

"Oh, Qinghan, I have something to ask you."

Gu Lie smiled and hooked his fingers, and floated the list of medicinal materials on the table to Gu Qinghan. After taking it, Gu Qinghan frowned slightly and looked at Gu Lie doubtfully.

"Lord Gu Lie, what is this?"

"This is the medicinal material that Xiao Yan asked me to prepare. You go check it out and find someone to send it to the third unit."

Gu Lie explained while drinking tea, while Gu Qinghan's eyes were slightly startled when he heard Xiao Yan's name, and then he responded without changing his expression.

"Yes, I will handle it later."

"Yes." Gu Lie nodded and glanced at Gu Qinghan, "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Gu Qinghan was startled for a moment, took a deep breath, then looked at Gu Lie with a firm expression and said solemnly.

"Lord Gulie, I refuse the marriage you mentioned earlier."

"Um?"

Gu Lie's hand holding the tea stiffened suddenly, and he turned to look at Gu Qinghan in astonishment.

First, he followed the elder's wishes and informed Gu Qinghan about the matter, but in fact Gu Lie was actually a little reluctant.

Gu Qinghan is the junior he has carefully cultivated. He is planning to let Gu Qinghan take over his position after he leaves office. You four elders just opened and closed your mouths and sold them out? One of them is Gu Qinghan’s biological father!

Especially the man named Xiao Yan, whom I have never met before. You just arrange a marriage directly. Is this fair to Gu Qinghan?

But there was no other way. Not only the elders, but also Gu Qinghan's father agreed. No matter how dissatisfied Gu Lie was, he had no choice but to admit it and informed Gu Qinghan about it.

However, after contacting Xiao Yan later, Gu Lie found that he seemed not so unhappy about the marriage.

The main reason is that Xiao Yan is really a good young man. There is nothing wrong with him in terms of character, character or strength. He has also single-handedly founded the largest force in Zhongzhou, and he is definitely worthy of Gu Qinghan.

In addition, Gu Lie is just a tough character and doesn't know anything about emotions. Gu Qinghan's temperament is obviously different when he and Xiao Yan are together, and the eyes he looks at Xiao Yan are obviously full of affection.

In this case, isn't this marriage a good one? It can also satisfy the interests of the ancient clan. Xiao Yan himself is also very good, and Gu Qinghan is willing to marry. This kind of perfect good thing has not happened for many years. Why is Gu Qinghan actively rejecting it now? However, although Gu Lie was confused, he also knew his beloved subordinate very well. Normally, with Gu Qinghan's sense of responsibility, he would agree to this marriage even if he had no affection for Xiao Yan. Now for There must be a special reason why Xiao Yan rejected it despite being sentimental.

"reason?"

Gu Lie put down the tea cup and raised his eyebrows slightly. Gu Qinghan's jade hands trembled slightly, but he still said firmly.

"Xiao Yan will definitely not agree to the marriage."

"Ah? How did you know that?" Gu Lie was stunned and patted the table, "Besides, what's the reason? Don't young people develop their relationships slowly? Besides, Xiao Yan has so many wives. You’re still missing one. Um, that doesn’t sound right?”

Gu Lie's expression suddenly changed, then he coughed twice, nodded his head on the table and offered earnest persuasion.

"Anyway, you yourself also understand what a great opportunity this is. The marriage partner happens to be the person you like. There are many children from big families who can't even ask for this opportunity. Why don't you agree to it?"

After hearing this, Gu Qinghan sighed leisurely.

"I don't disagree, but Xiao Yan will never agree to what I just said." Gu Qinghan looked solemnly and looked at Gu Lie solemnly, "In short, I hope you will treat this marriage as nothing, father. I will tell you there myself and will not embarrass you, and I will ensure that the alliance will go smoothly. "

"Okay, then you can take care of it yourself."

Gu Lie looked helpless. This kid was good at everything, but he had really great ideas. Once he decided on something, it was useless for anyone to say anything.

"Originally, I said that I would let you take the young people from the ancient tribe to the Tianhe Alliance. It looks like you will..."

"Please let me go."

Before Gu Lie finished speaking, Gu Qinghan responded decisively, leaving Gu Lie stunned again.

What is this? She rejected the marriage and had to stay with Xiao Yan. What on earth did this girl want to do? Before Gu Lie could ask further questions, Gu Qinghan lowered his head slightly.

"Sir Gulie, I'm going to prepare medicinal materials and send them to the third unit. Say goodbye."

"Eh? Wait."

Gu Lie stretched out his hand to stop him, but Gu Qinghan still firmly left, which made Gu Lie take back his hand with a tangled look on his face.

Am I too old? Why can't we keep up with the pace of today's young people? Then Gu Lie poured himself another cup of tea, drank it, and left the mansion and headed straight for the old woman's courtyard.

Gu Qinghan suddenly told the old woman about the marriage before, but now he refused it inexplicably. You must know that the old woman is very satisfied with Xiao Yan, and you must let the old woman know, otherwise you will have to blame him again.

When Gu Lie came to the other courtyard, he saw the old woman lying leisurely on the recliner with her eyes closed and relaxing. Seeing this, Gu Lie did not dare to disturb her and stood quietly waiting. He had nothing to do anyway. Just wait, let the old woman know that it was Gu Qinghan who refused the marriage, so as not to get scolded again later.

About ten minutes later, the old woman slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Gu Lie standing next to her. When Gu Lie saw the old woman regaining consciousness, he quickly came up to greet her and said softly.

"Senior, the matter of Qinghan's marriage"

"Did she refuse?"

Before Gu Lie could say it, the old woman guessed the answer first, which made Gu Lie suddenly stunned, while the old woman sighed leisurely.

"This girl still thinks too much, but it is true that this girl has been with Xiao Yan all the time, and she must know Xiao Yan's character better than the old woman." The old woman said, turning her head slightly to look at Gu Lie, "If I didn't guess If it's wrong, even though this girl rejected the marriage, she still asked to follow Xiao Yan, right? "

Gu Lie was shocked when he heard what the old woman said. He had even guessed this?

"Since it's her decision, let her do it."

The old woman waved her hand helplessly and leaned on the recliner again and fell asleep. Gu Lie stood there for a long time and finally left the courtyard in a daze. (End of chapter)
