Overriding the Heaven

1After pondering for a long time, Shen Polang slowly spoke up: "That matter is no small matter, it concerns the destiny of our Shen Family for the next few decades, and even for a hundred years, we must not lose, but A Qing is the key to this matter, if anything happens to her, the hard work of our entire clan will all be for naught."    

    

The clan member from the Shen Clan listened intently, not daring to interrupt Shen Polang.    

    

If that's the case, then send some more people over. Don't let anyone get within three hundred and fifty meters of the small courtyard, and then call all the clansmen you saw last night over to my side. I want to tell them what I need to say and what I need to keep in my stomach.    

    

After he finished speaking, Shen Polang fell into deep thought once more. After a long while, he raised his head once more and said, "As for that Chu Yan, I will personally go and talk to him."    

    

"Patriarch..." The member of the Shen family looked up in surprise.    

    

The Clan Chief is a cultivator of the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, even if the other party is a disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion, he doesn't know that the Clan Chief would personally ask for it!    

    

However, Shen Polang waved his hand: "I have already said it before, my Shen Family has already worked hard for three generations for this matter, and we nearly failed this time. With this opportunity before us, we definitely cannot afford to lose, and if this Chu Yan really has a chance to change A Qing's mind, then I will naturally have to personally step in, and definitely not let just because of him, my Shen Family's three generations of painstaking hard work will pay the price!"    

    

As he said these words, Shen Polang's face revealed an expression of unprecedented seriousness and seriousness.    

    

At this time, Chu Yan was sitting on the railing under the roof, eating the pastries Shen Qing had passed to him, and nodded: "I understand what you mean, your Shen family wants to have a competition with another family under the Wanxiang Town on your birthday. If your Shen family wins, then the other party will lose an undeveloped silver pith vein to your Shen family, but if your Shen family loses, then you have to use it as a bargaining chip, and marry a member of the opposing family.    

    

The odds between your Shen family and that family should be fifty-five, and when you come back, the odds should increase to seventy percent.    

    

But your father clearly told you that he wanted you to lose, not win.    

    

In other words, your father is determined. Even if he loses the face of the Shen family, he will still marry you off to that family's disciple.    

    

Speaking of which, this kind of thinking is indeed hard for people to understand. No wonder I had to think for a long time before I was able to figure out the relationship between the two. "    

    

While speaking, Chu Yan had already swallowed down a piece of pastry in his mouth.    

    

Throughout the entire process, Shen Qing didn't utter a single word.    

    

Chu Yan sat on the railing, while she stood at the side, slightly turning his body.    

    

Just like this, she could just see the side of Chu Yan's face.    

    

Seeing Chu Yan eating a piece of cake and extending his hand out, Shen Qing's heart was in turmoil, a trace of happiness flowing out.    

    

"Speaking of which, if you lose, you have to marry someone else. Who made this decision?" Chu Yan asked curiously.    

    

Shen Qing pointed to herself.    

    

"You yourself?" Chu Yan could not help but stare blankly for a while, then frowned, "Why did you make yourself into the wager?"    

    

Thinking for a moment, Shen Qing replied, "I don't want to get married."    

    

"Why do you have to make a bet on yourself when you don't want to marry?" Chu Yan was even more confused now.    

    

He knew that this female student of his spoke very little, almost to the point that her words were like gold, but the logic behind it, if you didn't speak of it, others would find it hard to guess.    

    

Do all the Shen family members like to do things in such a mysterious manner?    

    

Chu Yan looked at Shen Qing, and just as he was about to ask about it, he suddenly thought of a possibility, so he lowered his voice and said: "Your father originally wanted you to marry him, but you were unwilling, so you decided to bet?"    

    

"Yes." Shen Qing nodded her head.    

    

In an instant, half of the questions in Chu Yan's heart were solved.    

    

Something that sounded unbelievable was now placed in front of him.    

    

Shen Qing disagreed, so the Shen family and that family went back on their words and set up the gambling house. On the surface, it was a bet between the Shen family and that family, but in reality, it was a bet between Shen Qing and the two families.    

    

For this kind of thing, even if Shen Qing was Shattered Star Pavilion's disciple, Shattered Star Pavilion wouldn't be able to interfere.    

    

Unless Shen Qing was willing to acknowledge a teacher, and this teacher wasn't willing to allow her disciple to marry anyone, so she decided to interfere.    

    

Teacher?    

    

Chu Yan suddenly blinked his eyes, he lowered his head and looked at himself, and instantly understood.    

    

Shen Qing didn't bring her here to bear witness to anything. She was hoping that she could help her push aside this marriage or make her the winner of this bet.    

    

Defeating two families by himself.    

    

"Interesting." Chu Yan nodded his head, "Now I have a question, and it is what I want to know the most, why does your father insist on letting you marry others, what can he obtain?"    

    

This time, Shen Qing was silent for a moment before speaking, "I —"    

    

However, just as she said that word, a figure suddenly appeared at a place not far from the front of the courtyard.    

    

When she saw that figure, Shen Qing's face immediately turned pale. A hint of panic flashed across her eyes.    

    

Chu Yan followed the direction of the other party's gaze, and immediately saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe, striding forward with large steps.    

    

"Shen Polang." Chu Yan squinted his eyes.    

    

He naturally recognized this purple-robed middle-aged man. At that time, when the Evergreen Town was participating in the Profound Moon Sect selection, he had met the other party. Furthermore, Shen Polang was sixty to seventy percent similar to the Shen Wufeng who had been killed by Chu Yan.    

    

From a certain point of view, there was a layer of relationship between Chu Yan and his brother that needed to be killed.    

    

"There's a hint of ill intent." Looking at the approaching Shen Polang, the corners of Chu Yan's lips curled up slightly.    

    

Shen Qing was looking at her father, when she suddenly heard Chu Yan's voice from the side: "A Qing."    

    

Turning her head, Shen Qing saw Chu Yan looking at her.    

    

"I remember you telling me that if you wanted to prove to your mother that you could become very good and strong by yourself, then this time, do you want me to solve the problem for you, or use your own hands to shut everyone up?"    

    

Chu Yan's question directly hit the deepest part of Shen Qing's heart.    

    

Indeed, she had never thought like this before.    

    

She only hoped for Chu Yan to come, but felt that if her teacher was by her side, she would feel more secure.    

    

Now, the teacher seemed to want him to make a choice.    

    

As for when he would make this choice, it would be before his father arrived in front of them.    

    

Just as Shen Qing was making up her mind, she heard Chu Yan's voice once again.    

    

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will stay here and wait for this matter to end. As for yourself, you just need to think it through carefully. You've been working hard for so long, and you refuse to admit defeat, falling down and then climbing back up again and again.
