Chapter 194 Some things are not worth it
Cola Novel Reading Feast: A vast collection of books and an ultimate reading experience.
At this moment, Lan Cailing remained silent for a while before finally speaking.
"Uncle Gu".
Her tone was gentler than before.
"Since you have this intention, then..."
"My niece will accept it."
Lan Cailing reached out and took the jade box.
Gu Changqing's smile deepened.
"Okay, okay!"
He said "good" three times in a row.
"Niece, then this old man will find a place to sit first, and will go to pay respects to my elder sister after the happy occasion is over."
Lan Cailing nodded.
"Uncle Gu, please take a seat."
She looked at Amu beside her.
"Amu, take your Grandpa Gu to sit over there."
Amu quickly stepped forward.
"Grandpa Gu, this way please."
Gu Changqing followed Amu and walked towards the east side of the square.
He paused as he passed Long Haishan's table.
Long Haishan and the others all stood up, staring at him expectantly.
That look in his eyes clearly said...
Senior Gu, have you forgotten something?
Gu Changqing glanced at them.
His eyes were very calm.
As calm as if looking at a group of strangers.
Then, he looked away and continued walking forward.
Long Haishan stood there, stunned.
Ma Laojiu, Shi Poshan, Wu Daba, and the other clan elders were all stunned.
They stared at Gu Changqing's retreating figure, their minds blank.
What's going on?
Where are the promised reinforcements?
What happened to the promise of getting ahead?
How...
Why did they just leave like that?
Long Haishan opened his mouth, wanting to call out to Gu Changqing.
But he discovered that he couldn't make a sound at all.
Because he saw it.
They saw Gu Changqing walk to the main table and stop.
then……
Gu Changqing bent down, clasped his hands in a fist, and bowed deeply to the young man called Master Li!
"Gu Changqing from Nanyang pays his respects to Master Li!"
His voice was respectful to the point of being humble.
The entire venue fell silent once again.
Everyone was watching this scene.
Long Haishan's legs went weak.
He managed to stand by holding onto the table.
Ma Laojiu's face was as white as paper.
Shi Poshan's mouth is wide enough to fit an egg.
The scar on Wu Daba's face was a bright red.
Those clan elders were trembling all over.
And at this moment, at the main table.
Li Jun frowned slightly as he looked at the old man bowing in front of him.
Southeast Asia?
He has never even been there.
But judging from this person's attitude, he clearly knows himself.
Li Jun thought about it and roughly understood.
It's probably some message that came out from the Night's Watch again.
He remained expressionless, simply nodding slightly.
"No need for such formalities."
His tone was very flat.
You could even say they were somewhat indifferent.
Gu Changqing's heart tightened.
He straightened up, looked at Li Jun, and had a respectful smile on his face.
"Master, I have long heard of your divine power when I was in Southeast Asia, but I have never had the chance to meet you. I admire you greatly. It is truly an honor to meet you today."
Li Jun looked at him.
This guy speaks with great eloquence; he's clearly a seasoned veteran.
He remained expressionless, simply nodding.
"Um."
Just one word.
Gu Changqing's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
He knew that someone like Master Li would definitely not like being disturbed.
To receive even a simple "hmm" is already a huge honor.
He said a few more polite words, then tactfully withdrew.
Gu Changqing walked to an empty table, sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
The tea is cold.
But he didn't care.
He just sat there, glancing at Li Jun every now and then.
My heart was in turmoil.
This Taoist priest, Li, doesn't seem to like him very much.
Could it be that they've figured out he's in cahoots with Long Haishan and his gang?
Gu Changqing felt a pang of regret.
If he had known this person was here, he shouldn't have agreed to Long Haishan's request.
now……
Ugh.
He sighed and continued drinking his tea.
……
The main table.
Li Jun sat in a chair, his gaze sweeping across the square.
He "saw" the situation at Long Haishan's table very clearly.
The expressions on those people went from shock to ecstasy, from ecstasy to bewilderment, and from bewilderment to despair.
Absolutely brilliant!
He glanced at Gu Changqing again.
The old man sat there, looking uneasy, glancing in his direction every now and then.
Li Jun smiled inwardly.
That old man is quite the opportunist.
He looked away and stopped paying attention.
Today is Yin Jian's good day. In the future... there will be plenty of time to make things up for these guys.
Jin Hao leaned closer and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Taoist, that Gu Changqing..."
"Ignore him," Li Jun said calmly. "He wouldn't dare cause trouble."
Jin Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
……
In the center of the square.
Lan Cailing stood there, watching all of this unfold.
Watching Gu Changqing bow to Li Jun.
The people at Long Haishan's table looked deathly pale.
A complex emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.
If it weren't for Master Li...
What will the situation be like today?
If Long Haishan makes a move and Gu Changqing intervenes, she and the entire Ling Gu Dong will likely be suppressed to the point of being unable to raise their heads.
Even if she fights to the death, the final result will definitely not be good.
but now……
Everything is different now.
When Master Li sits there, all the demons and monsters have to obediently lie down.
Lan Cailing took a deep breath.
She suddenly realized something.
Some things are not worth it.
Lan Cailing turned around and looked at Long Haishan's table.
Long Haishan and his group were sitting there, their faces pale, like wilted eggplants.
"Lord of Longdong".
She spoke, her tone calm.
"What explanation did you want just now?"
Long Haishan suddenly raised his head.
He looked at Lan Cailing's calm face, opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But the words stuck in his throat.
What could he say?
Are you saying you oppose Lan Nianzhen marrying a foreigner?
Is it true that Lan Cailing broke the rules?
They said they hired Gu Changqing to stand up for them?
Gu Changqing was sitting there drinking tea, not even glancing at them.
Long Haishan felt his throat was dry and his lips were bitter.
He opened his mouth, and said dryly:
"No...it's nothing."
"Actually, I just... just wanted to wish the Chief of the Cave... and your daughter... a long and happy marriage."
Lan Cailing looked at Long Haishan.
Looking at the other person's face, which was trying so hard to force a smile.
Suddenly, she smiled.
"it is good."
she says.
"Since Lord Longdong is alright, I do have something to say."
The entire venue fell silent once again.
Everyone was looking at her.
Lan Cailing's gaze swept across the entire room.
I scanned those familiar faces.
She glanced over those who had once supported her.
She swept her gaze across those who had once opposed her.
Then, she slowly began to speak.
"I know that according to the rules of our witchcraft lineage, the Holy Maiden cannot marry outside the family."
"I was rash and headstrong before, and I apologize to all my uncles and brothers here."
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Is Lan Cailing apologizing?
Is Lan Cailing, who has always been assertive and never bowed her head, apologizing?
Long Haishan was stunned.
Ma Lao Jiu was stunned.
Shi Poshan, Wu Daba, and the other clan elders were all stunned.
They looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Blue Ringtone This is...
admit defeat?
A glimmer of hope suddenly welled up in Long Haishan's heart.
At this moment, Lan Cailing continued:
"I had assumed that the rules passed down from our ancestors couldn't be changed."
"From this moment forward, I, Lan Cailing, relinquish my position as Chief of the Cave."
"Lan Nianzhen relinquishes her position as Holy Maiden."
"Linggu Cave, withdraw from the lineage of witchcraft and sorcery."
