Ancient Ancestral Emperor

2There were not many people in the main hall of the Guan Family. However, the whole main hall seemed to be under pressure at this time.    1

    

The person seated at the very top was the current Patriarch of the Guan Family, Guan Fanggang!    

    

Guan Fanggang did not look old, and was even somewhat brimming with energy and vitality. It was just that at this moment, there were a few more strands of white hair on his temples, causing him to look slightly older. And at this time, Guan Fanggang's aura had retracted, and his entire person had narrowed their eyes; no one knew what Guan Fanggang was actually thinking about.    

    

The Guan Family Elders sitting on both sides of the stage were also silent. The current situation was something the Guan Family had never encountered before, but at this time, other than Guan Fanggang, no one else dared to make a decision. The entire atmosphere under the silence of the Guan Family became extremely awkward.    

    

Patriarch Guan, this is the sincerity of my Sheng Jia, so the fivefold boundary now is no longer the fivefold boundary of before. The Guan Family was not the same as they used to be. If they took this opportunity now, the Guan Family might really fall into an irrecoverable situation.    

    

Finally, the Third Elder, Sheng Guangping, from the Sheng Jia could no longer sit still. He had analyzed the situation from the beginning to the end. As long as the Guan Family nodded, then this matter would be decided. However, the attitude of the Guan Family made Sheng Guangping narrow his eyes.    

    

As he said these words, Guan Fanggang finally slowly opened his eyes. It was just that under these eyes, he seemed to have instantly aged ten years. Guan Fanggang's gaze did not directly meet Sheng Guangping's, but instead landed on the silent Guan Ziying who had entered the discussion hall. This was his most beloved daughter, and also the youngest of his seven children. Now, she wanted to use her happiness in exchange for the peace of the entire Guan Family. Even though he was the patriarch, he couldn't do anything about the big picture.    

    

Guan Ziying hadn't spoken a word, but it didn't mean that everything was tacitly agreed to by her. He knew his daughter too well. She was soft on the outside but tough on the inside!    

    

However, the rise and fall of the clan made the heart of Guan Fanggang, the Patriarch, tremble incessantly. As matters stood, he had no other choice.    

    

In the entire fivefold boundary, the decline of the Guan Family was too fast. With such a speed, Guan Fanggang simply did not have enough time to accomplish his great goal. Just as Sheng Fang Ping had said, for the Guan Family, only by marrying with the Sheng Jia would they be able to resolve this battle.    

    

The fight between the Guan family and the Meng family was not just a day or two, but the rapid contraction of the entire family was also directly related to the Meng family. Perhaps after three years, the entire family's influence in the inner city would also be purged.    

    

Among the five clans, the Meng Clan was the most powerful with the most momentum. The other four clans alone were not a match for the Meng Clan. Moreover, the Gui family had already sided with the Meng family. Together, they made the Meng family even more arrogant. Aside from that, Lan Family maintained absolute neutrality. For all these years, Lan Family had always been relatively low-key, and was also the weakest out of the five great families. His low-profile was also the reason why Lan Family was not involved at all.    

    

As a result, only the Guan Family and the Sheng Jia remained.    

    

During this period of time, the Meng Family had been trying to win over the Sheng Jia. This was already a public secret, but once the Sheng Jia and the Meng Family joined forces, the Guan Family would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it. Everyone knew that the Meng Family was going to swallow the Guan Family up. It could be said that everyone knew about this matter!    

    

Now, the Sheng Jia had personally come to find the Guan Family to try and get married with them. This so-called marriage alliance was to allow Guan Ziying to marry into the Sheng Jia and become the Sheng Jia's daughter-in-law. In this way, the Guan Family and the Sheng Jia could be considered as relatives. No matter what, the Meng Family would have to give a slight estimation.    

    

The reason was clear, if it were any other person, they would have agreed to this marriage, but due to Guan Ziying's love, Guan Fanggang did not dare make such a decision. Previously, he had even hoped that Guan Ziying wouldn't come back. At the very least, he would be safer and freer in the outside world. But now that his purple luster had returned, not only did it attract the attention of the Guan Family, the Sheng Jia also noticed it.    

    

Ye Zichen sighed fiercely in his heart. As a father, I am truly unqualified!    

    

Before this, he had promised to marry Zi Ying's sister to the Meng family. He hadn't thought that the Meng family would even propose to take Zi Ying. In Sheng Jia's words,, the fifth young miss of the Guan Family, who was officially married off to another family, did not really go through the motions.    

    

Thus, they had come to marry the younger daughter of the Guan Family. This way, the Meng Family and Meng Family could truly be considered as holding hands. At that time, even if the Meng Family had any tricks up their sleeves, their relationship with the Sheng Jia would still be similar.    

    

Seeing Guan Fanggang's current expression, Sheng Guangping was also a little pleased with herself. Sure enough, once things started to get out of her mouth, everything else could be easily discussed. Guan Zilou had already been agreed upon, so as long as Guan Ziying was willing, then Sheng Jia's goal would naturally be achieved.    

    

In this situation, the entire Guan Family didn't seem to have any other choices …    

    

So what if the two of them shared a husband? Compared to the comfort of the entire Guan Family, all of this was nothing.    

    

Clenching his fists tightly, the anger in Guan Fanggang's heart had already soared to the sky. However, he knew that he could not erupt no matter what, and once he angered this Sheng Jia, he would push him into the arms of the Meng Family. Guan Fanggang was very clear about the methods of the Meng Family. At that time, not only would the entire fivefold boundary be thrown into chaos, the Guan Family would probably not even be able to keep one person alive.    

    

This time, Sheng Jia spoke in a very tactful manner, he did not explain who he was going to give Guan Ziying to, but it was precisely this way that Guan Fanggang's heart became even more tangled. If the two of them were to marry into the Sheng Jia at the same time, it would already be a great burden for the Guan Family. If the two of them worked together, the Guan Family would lose all their face.    

    

After all, he was very clear that the kid from the Sheng Jia had coveted his two daughters for a long time.    

    

Patriarch Guan, the people from the Meng family are sitting in my Sheng Jia every day. At the latest, he would ask for an answer tomorrow. You should know that Seventh Miss has returned to the Meng Family, so the pressure on our Sheng Jia is very heavy right now. It was a huge price to pay for enduring another day.    

    

Once again taking a sip of tea, Sheng Guangping continued speaking.    

    

His words were like a bomb that exploded in the hearts of the Guan Family Elders.    

    

Everyone had their eyes set on Guan Fanggang. It was obvious that the final result of all of this could only be Guan Fanggang's decision.    

    

It was a pity that Guan Fanggang's eyes that looked at Guan Ziying did not get a response from her.    

    

Feeling the obvious threat in Sheng Guangping's words, the space under Guan Fanggang's tightly clenched fist shattered. However, he still took in a deep breath and slowly spread out his palms. His apologetic eyes slowly turned away from Guan Ziying. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to prioritize his clan.    

    

My woman, as your father, has let you down!    

    

Sheng Jia had such big words, he even wanted to snatch someone else's fiancee?    

    

But just as Guan Fanggang was prepared to make a decision or even agree, a voice suddenly came out from outside the hall.    

    

When the voice came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, and their gazes immediately turned towards the exit. The one who stood there, was none other than Qin Shaojie!    

    

However, when they looked at this strange young man, besides Guan Ziying, everyone else felt like he was a stranger.    

    

It was impossible for outsiders to enter and exit the large Guan Family, but when she thought about it, she could roughly guess Qin Shaojie's identity.    

    

Guan Fanggang's eyes held a tinge of reproof as he looked at the manager. If the manager did not agree, how could this young man even be here? One had to know that this place was filled with core members of the family.    

    

As if he had sensed the sullenness in Guan Fanggang's eyes, the manager's body trembled, but he had no other choice. If she did not let Qin Shaojie in, Seventh Miss would definitely do something stupid. She would die anyway, so she might as well let Qin Shaojie in.    

    

Hehe, I didn't expect the Guan Family to be so lonely. A brat can also casually enter and exit this important discussion hall?    

    

Seeing Qin Shaojie's unfamiliar face, Sheng Guangping snorted coldly.    

    

Guan Fanggang and the other clan elders' hearts sank, this Qin Shaojie was undoubtedly a noble guest of the Guan Family, but to barge in so impolitely, was simply going too far. But just when Guan Fanggang was about to ask Qin Shaojie for permission to leave quickly, Xiao Qi, who had been silent all this while, stood up. Father, he is my fiance. I think that no matter what, I still need to ask for his permission to get married.    

    

The moment Xiao Qi saw Qin Shaojie, traces of hope flickered in her eyes that were originally filled with disappointment and despair, as if she had grabbed onto a lifesaver.    

    

He was very clear that he had no other choice in this matter, but she still wanted to give it her all.    

    

She didn't want to marry someone she didn't like.    

    

Furthermore, Xiao Qi also knew that even if she were to marry him, this Sheng Jia would not go against the Meng Family like she had said. With the current situation with fivefold boundary, who would actually oppose the Meng Family?    

    

His father knew this as well, but he didn't dare gamble on it.    

    

But Xiao Qi was different, she wanted to take a gamble! At least he wanted to gamble, to see if Qin Shaojie would risk his life for him!    

    

Fiancé?    

    

When the three words resounded in the hall once again. Qin Shaojie also took a step forward, not caring at all about the attitude of the crowd, and even more so not care about what would happen next.    

    

He only saw Xiao Qi crying, her teary eyes. That look made Qin Shaojie suddenly feel like his heart was pricked.    

    

Remember, there's me.    

    

Slowly walking in front of Xiao Qi, Qin Shaojie raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xiao Qi's face as he spoke in a low voice.
