"Come on, all of you, follow me! This young master will definitely kill that useless trash this time!"
Liu Guohao changed into clean clothes and immediately called out to over a dozen wicked servants and retainers, preparing to settle the score with Liu Ruyan and the others.
"That little slut Liu Ruyan, she still thinks she's the eldest young lady. If we don't teach her a good lesson, she won't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Liu Feiyan shouted angrily.
Led by the brother and sister, over a dozen wicked servants strode menacingly towards the dilapidated villa in the corner of the estate.
Just as they reached the entrance, an old man who looked like a butler hurried forward, calling out, "Young Master, Young Lady, where are you going? Someone from the Cheng family has arrived, and Madam wants you to go over."
"We're busy now. We're dealing with that slut Liu Ruyan. If guests arrive, Mother can handle them!" the brother and sister replied impatiently.
"Young Master, Young Lady, the Cheng family has come to propose marriage, to propose marriage to the little... little slut Liu Ruyan."
The butler had initially intended to say Miss Liu Ruyan, but he quickly changed his words as they reached his lips. After all, the last person who called her that had been fired.
"Propose marriage to that little slut? The Cheng family? It's probably that silly boy from the Cheng family who has epilepsy, right? This is quite interesting!"
"Let's go, brother, we'll go check it out first."
Liu Guohao and his sister turned and headed straight for the main villa not far away.
In the main villa's hall, by the time the brother and sister arrived, the Cheng family had already left because the marriage talks had gone very smoothly.
"Mom, did the Cheng family really come to propose marriage for their crazy, foolish son? You agreed?" Liu Feiyan asked.
"Yes, I agreed. The wedding date is set for half a month from now. Guess how much betrothal gift the Cheng family is offering?" Huang Tingting said with a happy face.
Liu Guohao said, "That little slut Liu Ruyan, although hateful, is quite good-looking, and our Liu family, after all..."
"A quarter of the Cheng family's assets!" Huang Tingting interrupted before he could finish.
"Mom, what did you say? The Cheng family is using a quarter of their assets as a betrothal gift? Then we've struck it rich this time!" The brother and sister's eyes immediately lit up.
Liu Guohao frowned after thinking for a moment, "Although the Cheng family is also a commercial magnate in Suzhou, I heard that the Cheng family's young master suffers from epilepsy and is a fool. I'm afraid that little slut Liu Ruyan won't agree to this, right?"
"Refuse? Then dig up her parents' bones and feed them to the dogs, and then threaten her with the old man's life!"
Huang Tingting snorted heavily as she spoke, "If she dares to refuse, I have plenty of ways to deal with her!"
Liu Feiyan gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "This little slut has been arrogant since childhood because of Grandpa's pampering. She's been high and mighty because her parents controlled the family group. Now that she's marrying that fool from the Cheng family, it's her own doing and she deserves it!"
Liu Guohao chuckled, "I'm more concerned about a quarter of the Cheng family's assets as a betrothal gift. That's a lot of money. Mom, you have to make sure to buy me a supercar then. It's not expensive, just a twenty-million one is fine."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Go and call that little slut over. I have something to say to her!" Huang Tingting waved her hand.
In the evening, when Liu Ruyan returned to the old villa in the secluded corner from the main villa, her eyes were red, and it looked like she had been crying all the way back.
"What's wrong? Did they bully you again? Come on, I'll take you to settle the score with them!" Xiao Rulong said, preparing to push the wheelchair.
Liu Ruyan quickly stepped forward to stop him, "It's not that, Brother Xiao. I'm fine. They didn't bully me. I just suddenly miss my parents."
Not wanting Xiao Yunlong to ask further, she quickly added, "Let's go, we're going back inside to have dinner!"
Dinner was very simple, even meager. However, Xiao Yunlong didn't care about these things, and Liu Ruyan was used to enduring them.
"By the way, Brother Xiao, looking at your injuries, you should be completely healed in about ten days to half a month. By then, you should leave on your own," Liu Ruyan suddenly said.
"Are you worried that I'll linger and not leave, eating your family's rice for free?" Xiao Yunlong made a rare joke.
Liu Ruyan, preoccupied with her thoughts, did not smile. She put down her chopsticks and sighed, "If my parents were still here, there would be no problem. You could stay as long as you want. But now..."
As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes like pearls.
Xiao Yunlong wanted to comfort her a few words, but for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao. I don't have much appetite. I'm going back to my room!" She then got up and walked back to her room.
The next ten days were very peaceful. This old villa was quite far from the main building, and there were few servants who came here. Xiao Yunlong's injuries were recovering rapidly.
One evening, half a month later, the fiery red sunset illuminated half the sky. Xiao Yunlong sat cross-legged on the bed. If one looked closely, three streams of blue, cyan, and purple qi were constantly converging above his head.
Even more incredibly, the breath formed by his inhalation and exhalation seemed to be like streaks of qi arrows, each half a meter long!
Suddenly, Xiao Yunlong's body trembled with a hum, as if something had been unblocked.
He immediately opened his eyes, and three beams of blue, cyan, and purple qi shot straight out from his pupils.
"Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Martial King. The convergence of blue, cyan, and purple qi. So this is the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Martial King!"
Xiao Yunlong clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, almost unable to resist shouting to the sky.
"One must break to stand, and stand after breaking. I never expected that surviving this disaster would bring such great fortune!" Xiao Yunlong exclaimed with a long sigh.
Two years ago, he had already cultivated to the peak of the Hua Jin Grandmaster realm, but he had been unable to break through further. This time, being severely injured and suffering damage to his bones and meridians, it had inadvertently helped him unblock many meridians and joints. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
"Hmm? What is this?" Xiao Yunlong inadvertently looked inward and found what seemed to be a ball of golden mist in his dantian.
Just as he was about to investigate, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and the old butler hurried in.
"You are indeed still here. Regardless, for the sake of the eldest young lady saving your life, please go and save her quickly, otherwise, her life will be ruined!"
Xiao Yunlong frowned, "What's going on? What happened to Liu Ruyan?"
The old butler sighed and said, "It's the second madam. For the exorbitant betrothal gift from the Cheng family, she forced the eldest young lady to marry the Cheng family's foolish young master who has epilepsy. Just a while ago, the young lady was forcibly taken away by them, and the wedding is today!"
"Where are they holding the wedding?" Xiao Yunlong's expression instantly turned grim, and he jumped out of bed and stood up.
"Your leg? You can walk now?" The old butler was surprised.
"Stop dawdling and prepare a car for me, and tell me the address!" Xiao Yunlong said as he walked out.
The butler snapped back to reality and hurried to catch up, "The wedding is at the Suzhou Grand Hotel. We should still make it if we hurry. The car is in the garage, I'll take you there!"
Xiao Yunlong's steps were steady and powerful, and he was fast. The old butler had to run to keep up.
After reaching the garage and getting the keys, Xiao Yunlong pulled open the car door, sat in, and then the car roared out of the garage, heading straight for the Suzhou Grand Hotel.
