Chapter 2778: Such an Opportunity

"I don't know either. I just thought this thing seemed to be quite suitable for you, so I brought it back."

"So that's the case. I accepted this gift, but where did this ring come from?"

Xue Yaoyue saw a silver ring in the sandalwood box. Xiao Yi put all the things he brought out from under the ice together.

The ring belonged to the mysterious woman and had a very special use. Because of the damage, it lost its original function.

"This is me..."

Xiao Yi was about to explain, but Xue Yaoyue had already put the ring on her finger.

The ring seemed to be tailor-made for her, and the size was just right. Xue Yaoyue subconsciously thought that this was also a gift from Xiao Yi to her.

"This ring is pretty. Xiao Yi, how do you know the thickness of my finger and buy it just right?"

"Is... is that so?"

Xiao Yi was about to explain the origin of the ring, and Zixu spoke at this time.

"Don't talk too much, kid. This girl has a connection with the things left by that woman. Since she likes it, let her accept it first."

"I know, Master. Then I will follow your decision, but I think it's better not to tell her the cultivation method left by that woman for the time being."

"You are right about this. Her physique has not yet started cultivation. Let's lay a good foundation first. Her talent is higher than yours."

Zixu and Xiao Yi thought the same thing. They both let Xue Yaoyue lay a good foundation first. As for the cultivation, it can't be completed in a day or a night.

Xiao Yi gave both things to Xue Yaoyue. Xue Yaoyue put away the long sword. She couldn't carry such things when she went out.

And the gift Xiao Yi gave was very special. Don't show it to others easily. She packed it up, took Xiao Yi's arm, and left the room.

The wedding date set by the Xiao family and the Jiang family is getting closer and closer. Before the wedding date, some things need to be discussed by people from both sides.

But at this time, Jiang Ying disappeared. How could they discuss it? As the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhen's grandmother could only keep finding excuses to delay time.

This morning, Xiao Huaili went to see Xiao Qian. His son was about to get married, and as a father, he must work hard in advance.

Xiao Qian held a string of beads in his hand, and his fingers were playing with them one by one. He didn't have any ideas now, he just wanted to sit here and reflect on himself calmly.

"Huai Li, what's the matter? Even you, the head of the family, are so anxious."

Xiao Huaili rushed into the room, with a sentence written on his face, something urgent... Xiao Qian asked slowly.

"Father, I can be unhurried about other things, but this time it's about Xiao Qing's marriage. As a father, how can I sit still? Don't you know anything about the rumors outside?"

"What rumors?"

"The woman who had an engagement with Xiao Qing actually violated the agreement privately and escaped from the Jiang family a few years ago. The Jiang family didn't even tell us about such an important thing."

Xiao Qian's expression didn't change at all, which meant that he had already known the news, but he just didn't say anything.

Even before the rumors came out, he knew the inside story first, but he didn't say it out loud.

"You are talking about this, I have known about this for a long time. The girl is called Jiang Ying, and she has indeed left the Jiang family."

"So, father, you knew it a long time ago? But why didn't you blame the Jiang family?"

"Huai Li, you are a little impatient. It is the Jiang family that should be worried now, not you. The Jiang family knows the rules of the Xiao family and must be looking for someone at this time."

Xiao Huai Li thought about it, and his father was right. The Jiang family would not offend the Xiao family. Now there is no need to say it, the Jiang family has already started to act.

Now Xiao Huai Li still has a worry that he has not said. Regarding his son's marriage, there must be no carelessness. He said to Xiao Qian.

"Father, this girl from the Jiang family has escaped from the Jiang family for so many years. If she is found, she is no longer a virgin. This is a shame for our Xiao family."

"There is a way to test this. If the girl has lost her virginity, the engagement is considered invalid. Women... there are many for the Xiao family."

Xiao Qian said, but Xiao Huaili would never agree with this statement. He is now the head of the Xiao family, and face is above everything.

"This is absolutely not allowed. How can the marriage agreed by the two families be treated as a joke? If so, how can my Xiao family save face, and Xiao Qing will not be able to raise his head in the future."

"What do you mean? Are you going to ask the Jiang family for someone now?"

"That's what I mean. I must find someone from the Jiang family to ask clearly, so that when the wedding date comes, I can't find the person, and the guests from all sides come, but they are watching the joke of the Xiao family."

Xiao Huaili is the head of the family. No matter what he does, the word face is the most important. He can't let the Jiang family go.

As a father, he knows his son's character. According to Xiao Huaili's temper, he will definitely have a big fight with the Jiang family, using the Xiao family's status as a deterrent.

"When I was young, I would definitely agree with your approach. Unfortunately, I am old now. I value peace in everything I do. Don't create such a meaningless incident."

"What do you mean, father?"

"I have already issued an invitation to the old woman of the Jiang family to come to the Xiao family. If there is anything, we two elders will discuss it. You wait for a while."

Xiao Qian thought of a solution. Xiao Huaili had no questions. Even if he had questions, he had to put them in his stomach and let his father solve them first.

"Since father has already made up his mind, I will wait here for a few more days to see what the Jiang family has to say."

Xiao Huaili said, Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Huaili, and there was always a hatred in his heart, but he couldn't vent it, because he said that the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

He couldn't lose two sons at once, so even if Xiao Qian knew about what happened back then, he could only pretend to be confused, but others didn't know the pain in his heart.

"Huai Li, how old are you this year?"

Xiao Huaili paused, not knowing what his father meant by asking him this question at this time, he spoke.

"You're fifty-one this year."

"Fifty-one? A man is independent at thirty, free from doubts at forty, and knows his destiny at fifty. You've reached this age, and you should be able to let go of some things. There's no need to be so fussy about them."

"Father taught me that this is only about Xiao Qing's wedding, and as a father, I must stand up."

Xiao Qian closed his eyes as he spoke, as if he was asleep. Xiao Huaili was about to continue, but it seemed inconvenient to interrupt him, so he had to leave first.
