This action had forced the Yu Clan into a corner. Regardless of whether you agreed or not, I, Xu Ziyan, will deliver the betrothal gift in three days!
After the Xu family received the news, they did not have a single trace of happiness or excitement. Everyone had a sullen face and the atmosphere was heavy.
At this moment, Wu Yu and Xiao Yu didn't want to marry Xu Ziyan, and the other party was sending a betrothal gift to him three days later. This matter wasn't easy to deal with.
Yu Lin and his wife spent most of their time guarding the entrance of the study room, trying their best to persuade her. They were on the verge of not telling her the crux of the problem.
Wu Yu Xiao Yu was also determined to stay in her room and refuse to marry. She didn't eat at all.
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Yu Xiaoyu still hadn't changed her mind as she stubbornly stayed in her room. Outside the door, it was still Yu Lin and his wife who were waiting.
At this moment, Wu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked towards the stone. He saw that the stone had actually flashed with a ray of light and was extinguished in an instant.
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?" Wu Yu rubbed his eyes as he stared intently at the stone. He didn't find anything out of the ordinary when compared to the past.
"Xiao Yu, are you really going to force me and your mother to their deaths? It's fine if we die, but if you don't marry Xu Ziyan, then our Yu Family will be razed to the ground. You don't care about our lives, you don't care about the lives of the others either? " Outside the door, Yu Lin finally revealed the core matter to Wu Yu Xiao Yu. Since things had come to this point, there was no time for him to not tell her.
"Dad, I know what you're saying. It's not that Xiaoyu didn't think about it, it's that no matter what, I'm not going to die for the sake of others." Yu Xiaoyu said calmly. She was not as silent and obedient as Yu Lin had imagined.
When Yu Lin heard this, she became silent. So Xiao Yu had already thought of this. She had already made up her mind that she would not change her mind because of anything.
Yu Lin took a deep breath and finally said to Xiao Yu outside the door, "Tomorrow, after Xu Ziyan comes, you can tell him yourself. If there are any consequences, I will bear them."
After speaking, Yu Lin brought his wife and left in large strides.
What else could he do? Xiaoyu didn't agree. As her father, he couldn't force her. If he really wanted to force her, she wouldn't yield even if she committed suicide.
At this moment, when Yu Xiaoyu heard what Yu Lin said, she could not help but reveal a sorrowful expression. Her father had finally given up. However, this helplessness caused her to feel very uncomfortable. However, for the sake of her own life, she could not be soft-hearted.
Right at this moment, another burst of light erupted from the room. Although it was not dazzling, it was very dense.
Wu Yu Xiao Yu immediately looked towards the stone statue and discovered that the light originated from the stone and was extinguished in an instant.
"What's going on?" Wu Yu Xiao Yu stood up from her chair and looked at the stone, not out of fear, but curiosity.
She recalled that her father went out to do some errands a few years ago and brought back this stone. Supposedly, he had spent 100,000 immortal crystals.
For the past few years, this stone had always been in her study and nothing special had happened. At most, it looked like a person sitting cross-legged, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
Yet now, this rock was emitting light twice in a row. This made him feel like something was amiss.
Wu Yu Xiao Yu carefully moved forward and looked to her left and right, but didn't find anything amiss.
Could there be some treasure inside the rock? Wu Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help but guess, but she couldn't open the stone. The stone was hard, so even a sword wouldn't be able to hurt her.
"Ai, what's the use of studying a rock now? I should figure out how to face Xu Ziyan." Wu Yu looked at it for a moment, but didn't find anything wrong. He didn't have much interest in it either, so he returned to his desk.
The stone remained the same for the next few hours. In the blink of an eye, night came and Yu Xiaoyu left the study.
She wanted to go to her bedroom and clean herself up so that she could face Xu Ziyan tomorrow, so that no one would see her in such a sorry state. She, Yu Xiaoyu, didn't want to be looked down upon by others.
On the evening of the second day, when Wu Xiaoyu was not around, light flickered incessantly within the study room. However, no one noticed it.
The next morning, someone discovered a glimmer of light in the study room and went to inform Yu Lin. He thought that the study room was haunted.
Yu Lin was still vexed over how to deal with Xu Ziyan today. When he heard the servant report that the light within the study was constantly flickering, he immediately brought his men to the study room.
Abruptly pushing open the door, Yu Lin's gaze landed on the humanoid rock. This rock was currently emitting an incomparably dazzling radiance, like an immortal's glow. It was extremely thick.
He had brought this stone back a few years ago, but he hadn't encountered any special situations. Now, it suddenly erupted with brilliant light, shocking everyone!
"Go and call Xiao Yu over!" Yu Lin instantly instructed.
"Alright!" "Yes," one of the servants agreed, then decisively left.
Not long after, Yu Xiaoyu was brought to the study. When she saw the glowing stone, a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
When she heard the words of the servant just now, she was still in disbelief. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, the stone did indeed shine brighter than before. Her eyes were filled with shock.
"Have you seen anything like this happen to this rock before?" Yu Lin asked Yu Xiao Yu with a serious tone.
"Yesterday, it lit up twice, but it was only extinguished in the blink of an eye. I didn't take it to heart either." Wu Yu Xiaoyu said honestly.
"How strange." Although he was also a cultivator, his cultivation did not reach a very high level, it was only at the first level of the Fragmentation Realm, and this cultivation was something he would not be able to achieve in his entire life. After all, cultivation and talent were too important to him, and his talent was average, so he could only stop here, which was why he had developed his cultivation in the business world. Therefore, with his current cultivation, he was unable to see through anything wrong with this stone.
"Report!" At this moment, a servant rushed over.
"What is it?" Yu Lin asked.
"Xu Ziyan and a group of people have arrived at the gate." The servant said anxiously.
Coming so fast? Yu Lin's heart sank. He immediately instructed, "Inform Uncle Chun and have him bring someone to stand guard here. Xiao Yu, you and I will go meet Xu Ziyan."
"Anthracene." Wu Yu Xiaoyu nodded.
When Yu Lin led a group of people to the courtyard, he discovered that Xu Ziyan and his group had already entered. Over ten demonic beasts were pulling several chariots filled with golden boxes.
Behind Xu Ziyan were dozens of other cultivators with strong auras. One of them was obviously not a member of the Xu Clan, but judging by his clothing, he was from the Pill Crane Sect.
