Suddenly rise up in revolt

  Lian Ji's voice fell, and the hall suddenly became silent. Many people furrowed their brows slightly, each clearly aware that the drama was finally here!

  "Are both Lian Ji and Lian Zhen crazy? Are they going to directly turn against the Du family like this?"

  His complexion changed slightly for a moment, Du Fei only muttered to himself in his heart, as for the meaning of Lin Zhen's smile, he had understood a few parts of it, but now, he was uncertain.

  It turns out that all the trouble I've been looking for was for this!

  The silence in the hall lasted for a moment before Du Zhentian suddenly smiled faintly and said, "Lian Xue, I'm not old to the point of being deaf and blind yet. If I didn't mishear earlier, you're saying... your Lian family is planning to form an alliance with my Du family through marriage?"

  "Haha, Master Du hasn't heard, that's exactly what I'm saying!" Looking at Du Zhentian who was already slightly angry, Lian Ji nodded slowly and replied calmly.

  "Haha, so, I don't know which one of you will be marrying me as a concubine, but with those blood-stained hands, it's too ugly, I won't even consider it!" Upon hearing this, Du Zhentian slowly stood up, and let out a hearty laugh. Although he was just standing there calmly, the pressure he gave off was enormous.

  However, as if nothing had happened, Ji still smiled lightly and said faintly: "Old Master Du, isn't it clearly written on the invitation card?... My son Ji Zhen wants to take your family's servant girl Xiao Ai as his concubine...... The betrothal gifts and etiquette are all complete, and your Du family has agreed. Can you say that at this time, the esteemed Du family is going back on their word?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Ji casually flicked his sleeve, and a large red poster flew out of it, landing squarely on the wall to one side of the great hall.

  On the red paper of the invitation card, the golden characters are clear and distinct...

  With Du Zhentian's eyesight, he could naturally see the words on the invitation clearly. However, after looking at it for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he smiled coldly after a moment, saying: "Very good... Although there is no seal of mine, Du Zhentian, on the invitation, my three elders of the Du family have signed together. This point, my Du family cannot deny... Lian Jiazhong, you are indeed formidable, I am inferior to you!"

  "Hehe, Master Du doesn't need to get angry, previously when Master came to my Du family to discuss this matter, it just so happened that Master was in seclusion. But I'm just a lowly servant of the Du family, if the Lian family wants to form an alliance through marriage, can we really refuse?... Still, please don't blame me, Master... Hehe, after all, I'm just a lowly servant!" On one side, Du Zhenfeng smiled slightly, but a hint of sinister smile flashed across his old face, making his entire complexion bloom like a chrysanthemum.

  Upon hearing this, Du Zhentian's eyes indeed violently twitched, and his slightly clenched fists made a series of crackling sounds.

  The other Dou family members were also shocked and bewildered at this moment!

  The master of the house and the three senior elders were at odds with each other, but for a while, no one knew what to do.

  Even Gong Sun's family was slightly stunned at this moment, apparently, such a change had completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

  In this case, even if Du Zhentian were enraged and killed the three senior elders on the spot, it would not be impossible!

  After all, he has already lost face!

  "Lao San, I don't know what kind of betrothal gift the Lian family gave to our Du family?" Unexpectedly, however, Du Zhentian calmed down after a moment, slowly sat down, and spoke in a light tone.

  "Heh heh, it's nothing impressive, just a packet of Bone Renewal Powder!" Du Zhenfeng smiled faintly and subconsciously took a few steps back, forming a triangular formation with the other two elders to surround Du Zhentian in the middle.

  He casually picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, before Du Zhentian said calmly: "This betrothal gift is not bad, it seems to be just right for Du Qing's use... However, as the head of the household, I haven't seen the betrothal gift, so this marriage agreement doesn't count as established."

  Upon hearing this, Du Zhenfeng's old face twitched slightly, but he seemed to have expected it all along. With a slight flick of his sleeve, a delicate porcelain bottle appeared in front of Du Zhen Tian.

  "So, I guess our engagement is official now!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Du Zhenfeng's gaze swept slightly and fell on Du Fei, whose face was as calm as water.

  "Heh heh, since you've seen the goods, this engagement is naturally considered established! Since all three elders have acknowledged it, I, Du Zhentian, have no reason not to acknowledge it either... The only thing is, Little Ai is after all a servant girl, so the betrothal gift... can only be received by him!" As soon as he finished speaking, Du Zhentian flicked his wrist, and the porcelain bottle flew into Du Fei's hands.

  Looking at the porcelain vase in front of him, Du Fei slightly furrowed his brow and didn't say much, but instead stared at Du Zhentian, who was also skeptical that the other party would have nothing to say.

  It seems that Du Fei's expression was extremely satisfactory, and Du Zhentian smiled faintly, saying: "Feier, since you've accepted this betrothal gift, you have to acknowledge this engagement... Since even Young Master Zhen wants to take in Xiaoye as a concubine, let him do so..."

  Upon hearing this, Lian Ji smiled faintly, with an expression that seemed to say he had expected as much. Meanwhile, Lian Zhen let out a lewd laugh, his licentious gaze already fixed on Xiao Ai's body.

  This sight made Xiao Ai grit her teeth slightly, but in this situation, she knew that with her identity, she couldn't say a single word more.

  As for Du Zhenfeng and the other two, their faces also showed a slight improvement. As long as Du Zhen Tian didn't make a scene on the spot, there would be plenty of opportunities to smooth things over later! After all, she was just a small servant girl, no matter how talented, but a servant girl nonetheless. The three of them didn't believe that Du Zhen Tian would turn against them for the sake of a servant girl!

  "But——" Just as everyone had settled down, Du Zhentian continued to smile faintly, "For these three months you haven't been in the family, and about Xiaoi's matter you can be unclear... So if it was your original intention, then that's fine. If you're unwilling... You just need to let Lian Zhen Young Master speak for himself!"

  When he finished speaking, Du Zhentian took a deep look at Du Fei, then turned his head to smile at Lian Ji, saying: "Hehe, Master Lian, from now on, it's the younger generation's matter. The younger generation fighting over a woman, this kind of thing, we elders shouldn't interfere with, right?"

  "Haha, this is natural, but such things have always been ruthless. If someone loses their life due to not being careful, it has nothing to do with me!" Lian Ji's eyes flashed with a strange color for an instant, and then he also said lightly.

  "Heh heh, even the master of the house is joking about this. This kind of thing has nothing to do with our elders, and if someone loses their life because of it, then no one can be blamed!" After saying that, Du Zhentian slowly picked up the wine cup in front of him, slightly toasted, and then downed it in one gulp.

  "Du Feishao, I think you won't refuse this marriage proposal, will you?" Lian Zhen stood at the forefront, slightly clasping his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face.

  He reached out and grasped the slightly trembling palm of Xiao Ai behind him, and Du Fei slowly let out a breath, naturally understanding Du Zhentian's meaning.

  Although Du Zhentian was furious, he would never mess up the family for a maid or a Du Fei. However, he gave Du Fei an opportunity!

  If Du Fei is unwilling, then just take Little Ai back yourself!

  He slowly took a deep breath, and Du Fei slowly stood up, patted Xiao Ai's head, slightly nodded to indicate that she shouldn't worry, then turned his head to look at Lian Zhen, and smiled faintly: "Originally, Young Master Lian was going to marry Xiao Ai, I wouldn't have disagreed... However, I've always treated Xiao Ai as my own younger sister since childhood, so naturally I couldn't give her to a useless person... As long as Young Master Lian passes this test of mine, even the dowry for the wedding I'll prepare fully for you!"

  "Hahaha!" Lian Zhen looked up and laughed, his indifferent gaze falling on Du Fei's face. "As long as you can walk in front of me, you'll naturally know that I, Lian Zhen, absolutely have this qualification!"

  "Haha, this is hard to say! Many things aren't settled just by listening to what someone says!"

  Under Lian Zhen's gaze, Du Fei carelessly kicked the porcelain vase on the table into his arms and smiled coldly.

  At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was strange and abnormal!

  Everyone's gaze fell on Du Fei! Although Du Fei's name was also loud in Buoy City, compared to Lian Zhen, who was already a 9th-grade martial artist, what could he do?

  Everyone wants to know the answer.

  Slowly turning around, Du Fei, under Lian Zhen's angry gaze, reached out and pinched Xiao Ai's cheek, then smiled faintly: "You just relax, as long as I don't want to, no matter who it is, nobody can take you away from me!"

  Having finished speaking, Du Fei took a step forward and headed towards the high platform, his pace not showing any hesitation.

  Seeing Du Fei's actions, Lian Zhen just smiled coldly and immediately clapped his hands lightly.

  "Looking for death!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, the people of Lian's family who were standing on both sides suddenly surged forward, and in an instant, four young men from the Lian family stepped out with cold smiles, accompanied by four extremely refined knife shadows!

  The four of them joined forces and immediately wanted to kill Du Fei with a knife!

  "Tempering Body Seventh Layer—"

  Du Fei's gaze swept across the four people, and a faint smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he didn't even bother to use any martial arts skills, but simply tapped his right hand lightly, like a flying flower picking leaves, and landed on the chest of the person in front of him.

  At the moment he spat out blood and retreated, his right foot stomped fiercely, while his left foot swung out violently, landing squarely on the second person's knee. A cracking sound of bones shattering was heard, and the second person collapsed to the ground with a wail.

  Without any hesitation, Du Fei's right hand made another move, and he had already grasped the long knife in the hand of the person who pounced on him from the right side. Immediately, his hand twisted slightly, and the blade broke with a sound.

  "Ah——"

  A shrill cry echoed, and everyone in the hall shuddered, only to see Du Fei casually fling out his hand, and a broken blade stabbed straight into the right eye of the person on the right. The man collapsed to the ground amidst the cries of agony.

  At this time, the last person's face was already pale with fear, but Du Fei's movements didn't slow down at all. With a smile on his face, he took a step to the left and swept his right foot out, which landed squarely on the last person's abdomen. As the man bent forward, Du Fei's left hand shot out and grasped his throat. With a slight exertion of force, dark red blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth...
