C638 It Wasn't Easy

Xiao Zhengqin's words immediately made the people of Xiao Family look at each other. Because they all felt that Xiao Zhengqin's words were a bit overbearing. Therefore... They couldn't help but look at their patriarch, Xiao Zhengchun. Although Xiao Zhengqin and Xiao Zhengchun didn't get along well, this was something that everyone in Xiao Family knew about, but with so many people present... Xiao Zhengqin should at least give Xiao Zhengchun some face, but he still spoke in such a blatant manner. It was obvious that he was trying to embarrass Xiao Zhengchun!

However, when he saw Xiao Zhengchun's gaze, he suddenly smiled and said, "Looks like Ling has misunderstood. Regarding the engagement between Xun Er and the newly advanced Martial King, Bai Hao, actually, I haven't seen the eight characters yet!"

"Oh, what does that mean?" Xiao Zhengqin immediately widened his eyes and asked when he heard that.

"The main reason for Xun Er's engagement with the newly promoted Martial King and Bai Hao is to agree to the promise I made when I recruited Martial Emperor Bai Hao. To put it bluntly, it is to be seen by outsiders. Actually... Xun Er has other plans. To put it bluntly, announcing the engagement this time is just a pretense." Indeed, Xiao Zhengchun was the family head. With just a single sentence, he resolved the spearhead of Xiao Zhengqin.

" A pretense? " Xiao Zhengqin was stunned for a moment. Clearly, he was a little surprised.

When the people from the Xiao Family heard this, they immediately started whispering to each other, because they didn't know that there was another secret behind this engagement.

"Ling should have heard that Xun Er is going to hold a Marriage Snatching Convention in the Xiao Family, right?" Xiao Zhengchun continued.

"I heard about it, but isn't this just a formality to increase the reputation of our Xiao Family?" Of course, Xiao Zhengqin knew about the Marriage Snatching Convention, but in his point of view, this was just a show for outsiders.

"That's right. That's why Xun Er and Martial Emperor Bai Hao have an engagement. It's mainly for the sake of the benefits of the Xiao Family. Furthermore, even if they have an engagement, it doesn't mean that they will be married!" Xiao Zhengchun nodded and said.

"If it is for the benefit of Xiao Family, why did you make Chuxuan sacrifice herself? If she and that Martial Emperor Bai Hao regretted their marriage the most, that would be a joke! In the future, how are we going to let Chuxuan marry someone else? " Xiao Zhengqin immediately grasped the handle of the conversation and said with righteous indignation.

"This is not what I wanted. It was Xun Er who wanted to do it. This Marriage Snatching Convention was also her own idea..." Xiao Zhengchun said in a clear manner.

"Chuxuan? That's impossible. Didn't Chuxuan always shut herself in and never come out?" Xiao Zhengqin looked at Xiao Zhengchun suspiciously because he knew that his niece had been ill ever since. She had been shut in and out of the house, and had not even come into contact with outsiders.

"Not long ago, Xun Er finally figured it out. She didn't stay in her room anymore. Now, she is helping me manage the matters of Xiao Family." Xiao Zhengchun replied.

"Really?" Not only was Xiao Zhengqin surprised, he had heard that his niece had met in Xiao Family not long ago. But he didn't expect that she had already started helping Xiao Zhengchun manage the affairs of the Xiao Family. This wasn't good news for him.

"What do you mean by 'real'? Fourth Uncle, could it be that you want me to stay in your world and be a frog at the bottom of a well?" At this moment, a tender voice sounded.

Everyone from the Xiao Family, including Xiao Zhengchun and Xiao Zhengqin, immediately looked towards the source of the voice. They saw Xiao Chuxuan's slender and graceful beautiful shadow walk into the Bai Wu Hall. She had a proud and proud face, and she looked like a young lady.

Xiao Zhengqin was slightly shocked when he saw Xiao Chuxuan appear in front of everyone. But soon, his expression returned to normal and he laughed loudly, "Haha, how could I hope so?! I am very glad to see you like this, niece."

"Then I'll have to thank Fourth Uncle for his concern." At this moment, Xiao Chuxuan had already walked to the front of Bai Wu Hall.

"Just now, your father said that the engagement between you and Martial Emperor Bai Hao and the Marriage Snatching Convention was all your idea?" Xiao Zhengqin stopped laughing and probed.

"That's right. It was my idea. I wonder if Fourth Uncle has any advice for me?" Xiao Chuxuan nodded without changing her expression.

"No, I just think you have really grown up, niece." Xiao Zhengqin waved his hand with a serious expression. However... He immediately changed the topic. "However, since you have organized the Marriage Snatching Convention this time, you must be mentally prepared. Because I heard that Martial Emperor Bai Hao only has the strength of an early Royal Grade. When the time comes, he will come to participate in the Marriage Snatching Convention. There must be a lot of experts here. I'm afraid Martial Emperor Bai Hao won't be able to stop them!"

"If that's the case, then it can only be said that he isn't worthy of me! No matter who it is, in order to become the son-in-law of Xiao Family, one must possess a strength that is superior to others." Xiao Chuxuan snorted lightly.

"Niece, you are right. Actually, when I came back this time, I also brought back a few people, Martial King, whom I had carefully nurtured. They also want to show off their skills in the Marriage Snatching Convention. Xun Er shouldn't mind, right?" Xiao Zhengqin immediately said.

At this moment, when the people of the Xiao Family heard Xiao Zhengqin's words, not only did they stir up a commotion, they could also tell that Xiao Zhengqin was prepared to return this time. Furthermore, he had ulterior motives.

"Of course, if it's one of Fourth Uncle's men, I'm really looking forward to it!" Xiao Chuxuan could also tell what Xiao Zhengqin was thinking, but she still responded with ease.

"That's good." Xiao Zhengqin also nodded.

"It seems that Ling has come back this time to plan to stay for a few more days. I'll immediately send someone to clean up the Martial Arts Institute where Ling used to live." Xiao Zhengchun said in a friendly manner.

"Thank you for your help, big brother. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Xiao Zhengqin stood up and left.

After Xiao Zhengqin left, the people of Xiao Family who were present heaved a sigh of relief and whispered to each other.

"All of you can leave now." At this moment, Xiao Zhengchun waved his hand and said.

After that, the people from the Xiao Family left first. In the Bai Wu Hall, only Xiao Zhengchun and his daughter were left.0

"Father, it seems like Fourth Uncle has come back with the intention of stirring up a storm." Xiao Chuxuan also spoke bluntly.

"This is also something that is within expectations. After all, this could be considered a major event for the Xiao Family. Furthermore... If you can successfully make an engagement with Bai Hao, it will be a big threat to him. Of course, he won't just sit and wait for death. " Xiao Zhengchun had already expected this.

" However, I'm worried that Fourth Uncle will definitely make a move on Bai Hao. " Xiao Chuxuan said worriedly.

"So, the moment I heard that he had returned, I immediately sent someone to inform Bai Hao and tell him to avoid contact with Ling as much as possible." Xiao Zhengchun said.

"If Fourth Uncle insists on doing something, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him." Xiao Chuxuan understood Fourth Uncle's personality very well. Even her father couldn't stop him, let alone others.

"This will depend on your ability. No matter what, you have to tie Bai Hao down first. Let him listen to you. I am the key chess piece in our hands. Perhaps, I am also the best candidate to deal with you, Fourth Uncle. " Xiao Zhengchun suddenly revealed a shrewd expression.

"What does father mean by this?" Xiao Chuxuan's eyes narrowed.

"Over the years, I have been trying to plant spies around you, Fourth Uncle. But because you, Fourth Uncle, have always been paranoid, you have never succeeded. If you, Fourth Uncle, have taken a fancy to Bai Hao and think that he is a talent... Perhaps we can use this opportunity to let Bai Hao infiltrate your inner circle... " Xiao Zhengchun calculated everything.

"Isn't that very dangerous? If Bai Hao is bribed by Fourth Uncle, it will be detrimental to us." Xiao Chuxuan did not expect her father to have such a bold idea.

"That's why you want to tie Bai Hao down completely so that he won't have any intention of rebelling. This is very important." Xiao Zhengchun said with certainty.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Xiao Chuxuan shook her head slightly.

"You are my daughter. I believe you must have a way." Xiao Zhengchun looked like he was entrusted with an important task.

"Then I am afraid I will have to sacrifice myself..." Xiao Chuxuan listened and also said something meaningfully. Because she understood that a woman wanted to tie a man and his heart. The only way was to become his woman. But... She still had more important things to do, and this would become her trump card... Thus, she only replied, "I will do as I see fit." After saying that, she left Bai Wu Hall.
