Zhi Mansion (3)

Zhi Yue kowtowed lightly revealing a soft smile holding back the suspicious light in her eyes. "Master Zhi I would like to report this second eldest daughter has invited an honored guest to our banquet tonight who I would like to court as a potential husband."

The flower in his hand quickly became crushed as his voice slowly filled with rage. "Daughter Yue, I have already arranged a husband for you to wedd from our allies with the Wu family. Now you wish to shamelessly back out of the marriage agreement due to you falling for a young man today!"

Zhi Yue elegantly sat on her knees lowering her gaze to the floor. "Master Yue this young man is far more capable from Wu Lun, his cultivation level is unreadable however his Qi energy is otherworldly meaning her possesses great power and his appearance is that of the gods. A far better candidate than Wu Lun and will bring much more respect and power to our Zhi family name."

Master Zhi turned around to glance at Zhi Yue. "Very well I will acknowledge it however I wish to meet this young man myself before I declare my decision for your future husband."

Zhi Yue kotowed deeply until her forehead nearly touched the well polished pavement. "Thank you father, however there is a young woman and child who are currently in my way to gain favor with this young man."

Master Zhi rubbed his chin with a blank expression as he spoke swiftly and viciously. "They will be killed if I grow to favor this young man for there can only be one true wife for the future heir of the Zhi family however you will also be put to death if you can't produce me a male heir for your position is currently still under significant threat by your elder sister Zhi Xin."

An unreadable light flashed through her eyes. She quickly stood up and joined her fists together to show her respect. "I understand Master Zhi, thank you for you gratitude for granting me such an opportunity."

"Hmmm, please prepare for tonight." Master Zhi grumbled as he left the courtyard filled with beautiful flowers leaving Zhi Yue behind clutching her fist tightly until a small trail of blood ran through her fingers.

Shi Rong elegantly sipped another cup of tea as Hui Mian and Mo Yu devoured plate after plate of different desserts.

Xiandi looked at Hui Mian in disgust. "For a beast who complains about human food and other human things you sure are shamelessly eating the cake."

Hui Mian glared at Xiandi with murderous intent as she shoved another bite into her mouth. Xiandi rolled his eyes as he picked up his cup and sipped on his coffee.

Ling Yiyao glanced out the window towards the darkening skies. "Rong'er it is about time we head towards this banquet to receive your item, please wait for me to pay so we can be off."

Shi Rong nodded her head as she finished her tea.
