Chapter 1 Li Po Listens

The Meng family woman quickly placed my father's handwritten letter in front of me. There were only four words on the letter: "Li Po, listen."

My eyes couldn't help but redden when I saw those four words.

From childhood to adulthood, my father never hit or scolded me. Even when he was angry, he would only roar, "Li Po, listen."

When he coaxed me, he still said, "Li Po, listen."

My father didn't express his feelings. What I heard the most was, "Li Po, listen!"

I solemnly folded the paper and put it in my pocket, but said calmly, "I'll say it again, what does this represent?"

"Even if my father made a marriage agreement with your Meng family, it doesn't mean I will agree to marry into the Meng family. So, please go back!"

The Meng family woman shook her head and said, "This marriage agreement was proposed by your father, Li Chunfeng, and there is a condition in the agreement to protect your safety."

My heart ached again. My father arranged so many escape routes to save me! But he never thought about how he would escape.

If he had thought more about himself, my son and I wouldn't have been separated for six years.

I quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, and turned my gloomy gaze to the Meng family woman, "What else did my father say?"

At that time, I was ready to kill.

Judging from the Meng family's arrogant and aloof attitude, I could imagine their attitude towards my father. If my father was humiliated in the Meng family back then, these people wouldn't be going back.

The Meng family woman didn't seem to see the murderous intent in my eyes, "Li Chunfeng didn't sign the marriage agreement with me back then, so how would I know what he said?"

"If you want to ask about what happened back then, you have to go back to the Meng family with me and meet the head of the family. After all, you still have to accept the protection of our Meng family."

My face darkened a little more, "I, Li Po, can't be considered a top expert, but I haven't reached the point where I have to find someone to protect me. As for this marriage certificate, let's just cancel it! It was just a joke back then."

The Meng family woman shook her head and said, "You can treat the marriage certificate as a joke, but the Meng family and my eldest brother will not treat it as a joke. This marriage must be completed, and you must marry into the Meng family."

The Meng family woman's voice also sank, "Breaking off the engagement is not a consequence you can bear."

With a sneer, I raised my hand and slapped it on the table. The sound of iron gates falling immediately echoed in the corridor of Liang Jie Tang.

The Meng family woman was only stunned for a moment before thick iron bars fell on the windows around the reception room.

My eyes locked directly on the Meng family woman, "Either cancel the engagement, or I'll kill you. Choose!"

The old servant of the Meng family said sternly, "How dare you! Do you know..."

"Kill—" I roared and took the lead. Two streams of sword energy, one black and one white, roared like a dragon for several meters, slashing down towards the old man's shoulders.

"You..." The Meng family woman didn't expect me to say I would kill, and didn't hesitate at all. By the time my sword light approached, it was too late for her to react.

Fortunately, the Meng family guards behind him reacted in time. Seeing that my blade was about to touch the old man's shoulder, the two guards blocked my swords from behind the old man with their weapons.

The two knew that their weapons couldn't withstand my swords, but they were still buying time for the old man to escape.

At this time, the Meng family woman also attacked my ribs. Although her palm technique, aimed at "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," was loud, it didn't have much killing intent.

None of them expected that my swords would bounce into the air as soon as they touched the opponent's weapons. What really struck the old man was a pair of heavy punches that I sent backhanded.

The opponent was blasted two meters away in an almost undefended state, and he vomited blood uncontrollably.

Ye Yang's long sword had silently pressed against the Meng family woman's neck. The palm she aimed at my ribs also stopped a few inches away from me.

I turned around and grabbed her neck, "You better not say anything I don't want to hear. If my father suffered any grievances in the Meng family back then, I guarantee that before I die, I will leave no one alive in your Meng family."

As I spoke, Ye Yang suddenly pressed down on his sword, and the blade immediately cut through the skin on the opponent's neck. Bright red blood dripped to the ground along the sword, and all the Meng family guards who were eager to move put down their weapons.

As I spoke, my eyes flashed with purple light, and the Ghost Eye Secret Technique instantly controlled the opponent's consciousness, "Who are you? How did my father make the marriage agreement with the Meng family back then?"

The Meng family woman said blankly, "My name is Meng Wanning, and I am the Meng family head's biological younger sister."

"Back then, Li Chunfeng came to the Meng family and used a favor owed by our Meng family to exchange for the Meng family's protection of you. However, my eldest brother also proposed that you become his son-in-law."

"As for how it became marrying into the family on the marriage certificate later, only the two of them know."

"I once asked Li Chunfeng why he wanted you to marry into the family, but Li Chunfeng was a proud man who disdained explaining anything to others, let alone begging others. He didn't mention anything to me."

My face looked a little better, and I said in a deep voice, "What favor did the Meng family owe my father?"
