Inside the hall, Patriarch Qing Huo, Qing Lei's father, Qing Cheng, and a few clan elders were seated in their seats.
A well-proportioned youth wearing a red cloak stood in the middle of the hall. The white cloud pattern on his back was eye-catching, but because his back was facing Qing Lei, only the outline of his face could be seen. Even so, one could still make out the youth's handsome appearance.
With a single glance, he could tell that this youth was not a member of the Qing Family himself. It was just that it seemed that the clansmen outside the hall did not know this youth's true identity.
Although Qing Lei was unable to see through the strength of the youth at a glance, he could tell from the shocked expressions of the elders in the hall and the vigilance in Qing Huo's eyes that the youth was definitely not simple regardless of strength or identity.
"Who is this person?" Why did you come to my Qing Family for? "
"I don't know, but from what I heard from my clansmen, he injured several of our clansmen who were at the Fighting Vigour rank as soon as he entered the door. I think it's most likely because he got help from Ye Family."
The tribesmen's guesses were not baseless, but Qing Lei felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as they thought.
After looking at each other for a long time, the young man unexpectedly nodded towards Qing Huo and Qing Cheng, and then spoke with vigor: "My two uncles, good luck! I am the eldest son of Zhuge Suifeng, Zhuge Renjie. Please do not blame me for coming here today! "
"Visit? If he were to pay a visit, he wouldn't have to injure so many people! " Qing Huo cursed in his heart, but he still showed an expression of pleasant surprise. "Who do I think it is?" So it was Nephew Renjie. We haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect you to be so tall and big already. "In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed. Your father is safe and sound!"
"This nephew does not dare to praise you falsely. Thanks to Uncle's memory, my father is fine. "My father often talked about the two uncles, especially the only son of uncle Qing Cheng, Qing Lei!" When Zhuge Renjie mentioned Qing Lei, he purposely emphasized his tone. It seemed that he had already heard about Qing Lei's experience of becoming trash.
When everyone outside the hall heard Zhuge Renjie mention Qing Lei, they all turned to look at Qing Lei. Qing Lei ignored all of these gazes filled with inexplicable meaning as he continued to look indifferently at the interior of the hall. At this moment, what he cared the most about was his father's thoughts.
Obviously, anyone could tell from the tone of the other party's voice that Zhuge Renjie was not only contemptuous of Qing Lei, but also had a trace of good feelings towards him.
As for Qingcheng, they were also unhappy with the other party's hidden sarcasm towards their son that they were so proud of. However, in the end, the other party did not make it clear, so he could only give up and treat it as unintentional.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Qing Huo quickly spoke up to divert everyone's attention.
"Nephew Renjie, may I know why you have come to my Qing Family this time?"
"This …" Qing Huo asked the question that concerned everyone the most. However, Zhuge Renjie seemed to be having a hard time answering and after a long while, he finally managed to say something.
"Young Nephew, the main purpose of your visit is to discuss a matter with Uncle Qing Cheng!"
"What is it?" Qing Cheng asked casually.
"It's about the marriage between my sister and my uncle's only son, Qing Lei!"
"Marriage?" Hearing such a sensitive word, Qing Lei could not help but be a little shocked. Qing Rou, who had been silent on the side, had a faint look of trauma in her eyes and her heart seemed to have been hollowed out.
"What do I think? So it's about the marriage between Yun Ting and Lei. Brother Suifeng and I have discussed this before. The age between Yun Ting and Lei is still young, and the marriage was decided after the weak crown. I presume that your father has also mentioned it to you?"
Zhuge Yunting? Qing Lei finally found the person that matched this name in his memory. He remembered that his father mentioned it to him before, but he never took it to heart.
"I did mention it, but I didn't come here today for this."
"What is that?" Young Nephew, you can speak frankly. "
Zhuge Renjie didn't know where to start. When his gaze finally stopped on his red cloak, he suddenly raised his head and confidently said, "I'm here to end the engagement!"
