C1188 A Delaying Tactic
Xu Feng had just escaped from the Celestial Desolation Forbidden Land, but now he was going to fall into another tiger's den, forcing him to obediently give in. How could such a thing happen?
Furthermore, the arrogant and despotic Tuoba family had made Xu Feng feel even more disgusted in his heart.
"Young master..."
When the maid saw Xu Feng's expression, she thought that he was going to do something. After pondering for a moment, she continued, "Young master, it's better if you don't resist. The Tuoba family is incomparably powerful in Xue Yu. If you have any ill intentions, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your life!"
Even the maid of the Tuoba family said so. It was imaginable how rude and unreasonable the Tuoba family usually was.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the patriarch and young lady about all these things?"
Looking at the maid, Xu Feng looked at her and said slowly.
The maid was obviously worried about his life, but her words indicated that she had betrayed the Tuoba family.
Sure enough, when she heard what Xu Feng said, the maid immediately fell to her knees. Her face turned pale and she begged for mercy, "Young master, please don't! It's all my fault for meddling in other people's business, I deserve to die!"
As she spoke, she wanted to raise her palm and slap herself. Xu Feng hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't worry. You have good intentions. Why would I tell the family head and young lady?"
"Really... Really?"
The maid looked at Xu Feng doubtfully. However, when her eyes met Xu Feng's, she found sincerity in Xu Feng's eyes. In her heart, she believed what Xu Feng said.
"Alright, stand up!"
After a while, the maid returned to normal. Xu Feng called her to stand up and continued, "What's your name? I don't think you are willing to be a servant in Tuoba family, right?"
"My name is Yingying. I had to sell myself to the Tuoba family to pay for my father's gambling debt..."
As she spoke, Yingying shed tears. Obviously, this matter had a huge impact on her.
After listening to Yingying's words, Xu Feng couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. He comforted Yingying a few times and made a decision in his heart. When he left the Tuoba family, he would take Yingying away and return her to his free life.
Being sold to the Tuoba family, Yingying was paying off her father's debts. However, these debts weren't owed to her, so she shouldn't be the one to bear them. That was why Xu Feng felt that Yingying shouldn't stay here.
But now, Xu Feng wouldn't tell Yingying about this plan, so as to avoid ruining the big deal.
"Young master, this little girl has lost her composure!"
Wiping away the tears on her face, Yingying lowered her head and said softly.
Although Xu Feng was tied to the bed, no matter what, he was still her future son-in-law. It was indeed inappropriate for her to cry in front of Xu Feng.
However, Yingying felt that Xu Feng had an aura that no one else had. In front of Xu Feng, she would not be as reserved as in front of others.
In fact, this was the effect of Xu Feng cultivating the Profound Aura. Unknowingly, it would affect others, but Xu Feng did not notice this change.
"It's fine... How about this, you go and help me call Patriarch Tuoba and the young lady over! I have something to tell them! "
With a slight smile, Xu Feng's smile was like a spring breeze caressing Yingying's face, calming her heart completely. After agreeing, she nodded her head repeatedly and turned around to leave.
After taking two or three steps, Yingying turned around and pointed at the hot water on the table. "Young Master, why don't I help you wash up before you go?"
"It's fine. You should go now!"
Shaking his head, Xu Feng could not help but feel that it was somewhat funny and quickly said.
In the past, Xu Feng was considered a young master in Purple Garden City. However, he rarely asked people to help him wash up and put on his clothes because he always felt that he had hands and feet. He didn't need to trouble others with these things.
After getting Xu Feng's confirmation, Yingying didn't stay any longer. She turned around and left the room. Not long after, there were sounds of footsteps coming from outside.
"Creak."
The door was opened once again and Tuoba Bo was the first to bear the brunt. Tuoba Qian followed closely behind and walked in. Yingying, on the other hand, slowly closed the door after the two of them entered.
"Husband, you missed me in less than a day?"
Before Tuoba Bo could say anything, Tuoba Qian, who was behind him, spoke first. At this time, she had already put away her ferocious look and called out to her husband in a very nauseating manner.
Her appearance was extremely hypocritical, causing Xu Feng to almost vomit again.
However, the Tuoba family was after all a big family in Xue Yu. Although Tuoba Bo doted on his daughter, thus, he turned his head and glared at Tuoba Qian. Tuoba Qian stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to act rashly. She obediently shut her mouth.
However, she did not give up. She stood behind Tuoba Bo and secretly sent a wave to Xu Feng. It was just that this wave, Xu Feng really could not accept it.
"Endure! I endure!"
A little tolerance would mess up the big plan. Xu Feng closed his eyes and told himself over and over again in his heart. But when he thought about how he wanted to marry this woman, he felt nauseated in his heart.
"Why did you call us here? What's the matter?"
Xu Feng didn't speak. After a while, Tuoba Bo opened his mouth and asked.
He had already told Xu Feng that his time was very precious as the patriarch. He didn't believe that Xu Feng would call him here for no reason.
Xu Feng opened his eyes and regained his calmness. In his eyes, he had completely forgotten about Shangguan Qianer.
"Didn't you want me to marry your daughter? I promise you!"
Taking a deep breath, Xu Feng said in a deep voice. Even he didn't know how much courage he needed to say those words.
However, this was only Xu Feng's delaying tactic. As long as he found an opportunity, he would naturally escape Tuoba family. As for Tuoba Qian, let her marry him!
"What did you say?"
Obviously, Tuoba Bo would not believe what Xu Feng said. He looked at Tuoba Bo with a burning gaze, wanting to see some clues from Xu Feng's eyes.
Unfortunately, Tuoba Bo's action didn't have any effect. Xu Feng's eyes were still clear and calm, without a trace of emotion.
Xu Feng smiled and said slowly, "Isn't this what you want?"
"Why did you change your mind?"
Tuoba Bo narrowed his eyes and his voice became somewhat cold.
Although Tuoba family was powerful, he knew the quality of his daughter. Xu Feng changed his mind all of a sudden. He naturally thought that there was some kind of plot hidden in Xu Feng's heart.
However, Xu Feng would never tell the Tuoba family about this plot. After listening to Tuoba Bo's words, Xu Feng continued, "This isn't something you need to worry about. You want someone to marry your daughter. And I fell from the sky. If I get married... It would be nice to hear about your Tuoba family. Your daughter has also married someone. And I have also regained my freedom, haven't I? "
Xu Feng's words stunned Tuoba Bo for a moment, but very quickly, Tuoba Bo smiled. That smile was as brilliant as the first time Xu Feng saw him.
" Looks like he's a smart kid. Don't worry, as long as you treat my daughter well, the family won't treat you unfairly! "
Tuoba Bo's smile was as bright as a sunflower, but Xu Feng was not very interested in this kind of fake smile. He said lightly, "Since that's the case, why don't you help me untie the rope?"
"No rush. When I confirm the date of my marriage, I will naturally return your freedom."
Tuoba Bo, whose face was rosy, looked at Xu Feng with a smile, like a kind and kind senior. This speed of turning hostile was even faster than flipping a book.
Xu Feng had read countless people, but this was the first time he had seen such a shameless person. He had cursed Tuoba Bo countless times in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and collected.2
"What a joke. I have already agreed, yet you are still afraid that I will run away? Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to die and inherit the position of the master of your family!"
Xu Feng said with a sneer. He didn't give Tuoba Bo any face at all.
Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that marrying Tuoba Qian was for the sake of the foundation of Tuoba family. Xu Feng didn't try to hide this fact. He directly said it out loud and frankly admitted it.
"Daddy, why don't we let him go? In any case, this North Domain belongs to us no matter where we go. We don't have to worry about him running away!"
What Xu Feng didn't expect was that Shangguan Qianer would actually help him plead for mercy. After all, when Xu Feng and Tuoba Bo were talking just now, they had already made it clear that this was just a marriage with a motive.
"Hmm..."
After a long time, Tuoba Bo finally said softly, "It's up to you to like it!"
After saying that, Tuoba Bo did not pay any more attention to him. He turned around and left the room, leaving Tuoba Qian and Xu Feng in the room.
"Husband!"
After her father left, Tuoba Qian sat by the bed. Her greasy voice made Xu Feng have goosebumps and his body unconsciously trembled a few times.
She gently caressed Xu Feng's face and said softly, "It was my fault before. I also know that you have many misunderstandings about me, but it doesn't matter. I can use love to make you change your mind!"
"Leave me first!"
Xu Feng could not stand Tuoba Qian's current look and said coldly. After Tuoba Qian's hand left his face, he continued, "The two of us are not married yet, so don't call me husband. I'm called Xu Feng! "
"Okay, Older Brother Feng."
Tuoba Qian smiled until her eyes narrowed. She still used that greasy voice to call Xu Feng, and it almost made Xu Feng spit it out again.
However, when he thought about Tuoba Qian's strong body that would torture him, Xu Feng still held back the nausea in his heart and forcefully endured it.
"You are willing to tell Qianer your name, which means that you have already started to open up your heart to Qianer. One day, you will fall in love with Qianer!"
Tuoba Qian looked at Xu Feng with an infatuated look, and her words almost made Xu Feng vomit blood.
He just did not want to hear this guy call him husband. There was really no other meaning!
