The spiritual light transformed from his cultivation contained everything.
Among them was the Sword Intent he had condensed.
However, these Sword Intents were scattered, and Zhao Yanyun only got a drop in the bucket.
Even so, it was enough to bring her benefits she could never exhaust in her lifetime.
He held the teacup and looked indifferently at Zhao Ruyuan and his wife: “So, you plan to break off the engagement?”
If it weren't to repay a favor.
He wouldn't have come to this desolate continent.
Nor would he have entered into any engagement.
Wouldn't it be better to quietly find a place, Cultivate the ninth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture, and become an existence beyond the Emperor Realm?
The Zhao Family actually kept making excuses.
Zhao Ruyuan looked troubled.
Fulfilling the engagement and marrying his Heaven-Defying daughter to a cripple was more painful than killing him.
But if he broke off the engagement, and the old master found out, his position as Family head would be over.
The old master had emphasized more than once that this engagement was a Heaven-Defying Opportunity for the Zhao Family's rise, obtained through generations of accumulated good fortune.
These past few years.
Any clansmen who wanted to marry Zhao Yanyun to someone else and break off the engagement were, without exception, banished by the old master to the frontier, never to return to the Zhao Family for the rest of their lives.
Just as he was in a dilemma, his wife, Chen Qinglian, turned her gaze and said, “Husband, why don't we marry Yinxi to him instead?”
Among the crowd, a nineteen-year-old girl in a green dress, slender and delicate, bit her red lips slightly and walked out.
Her skin was like congealed cream, and her temperament was gentle, like a classical woman stepping out of a painting.
However, her face was covered in terrible sores, which was quite frightening.
Chen Qinglian looked at her with disgust and said indifferently, “Yinxi, the Zhao Family has raised you for nineteen years; it’s time to repay the Family.”
“You will marry Young Master Zhou in place of your younger sister, do you hear me?”
Zhao Ruyuan's eyes showed reluctance.
Although Zhao Yinxi was a concubine's daughter, of low status, and ugly, she was still his daughter after all.
It was truly too unfair to have her marry in place of someone else.
“Yinxi, if you are not willing, then forget it; we will think of another way.”
Zhao Ruyuan said.
To everyone's surprise.
Zhao Yinxi didn't even look at Zhou Qingyu once before nodding and saying, “Your daughter is willing.”
The Zhao Family members all rolled their eyes.
With Zhao Yinxi's ugliness, she would never expect to marry in this lifetime.
Now that a dashing Young Master had come to their door, of course, she was eager to marry him.
Chen Qinglian nodded slightly, looking expectantly at Zhou Qingyu: “Young Master Zhou, what do you think?”
Zhou Qingyu glanced at Zhao Yinxi and said indifferently, “Fine.”
His marriage to a descendant of the Zhao Family was merely to repay a favor.
Marrying the elder sister or the younger sister made no difference to him.
As for her ugliness.
It wasn't difficult to cure the rotten sores on her face.
What?
He actually agreed?
Chen Qinglian was overjoyed and immediately decided: “Good! Good! You two will be married in three days!”
Zhao Yinxi then looked at Zhou Qingyu and said softly, “Young Master Zhou, please follow me. We can discuss the wedding arrangements.”
The two arrived at the back door of the Zhao Family.
Zhao Yinxi quietly looked around, confirmed no one was there, opened the back door, and whispered, “You should leave quickly.”
Huh?
Zhou Qingyu was stunned: “Aren't we discussing the marriage?”
Zhao Yinxi smiled bitterly: “Marriage? Your life was almost lost!”
She hesitated for a moment, then revealed the truth.
“My sister is so outstanding, my stepmother would never possibly let her marry you.”
“So, she can only let me marry in her place to end this engagement.”
“If I don't agree, they will just quietly kill you, and then the engagement will naturally be canceled.”
Zhao Yinxi said anxiously, “Before my stepmother reacts, you should run away quickly.”
Oh?
He had initially thought this little girl was afraid she wouldn't be able to marry, which was why she agreed to the marriage.
It turned out she wanted to save him.
The little girl's kindness warmed Zhou Qingyu, who had just experienced the matter of Ancient Moon Supreme.
Seeing Zhou Qingyu in a daze, Zhao Yinxi said in surprise, “Why aren't you running? Is it because you don't have money?”
“Right, you came all the way here as a Mortal, your travel expenses must have run out, right?”
She took out her worn-out small purse and poured out all the money inside.
There were only a dozen copper coins.
Her face flushed slightly, and she said, “I only have this much. Take it and be frugal on your journey.”
Zhou Qingyu's heart was slightly moved.
The dignified Young Lady of the Zhao Family only had a dozen copper coins on her.
It was not hard to imagine what kind of life she lived in the Zhao Family.
“Little girl, if I leave, will your stepmother let you off?” Zhou Qingyu asked.
Zhao Yinxi's body trembled, and she suppressed her fear, saying, “It's better than you losing your life, right?”
Just then, they heard the sound of servants approaching.
She quickly pushed the money into Zhou Qingyu's hand: “You must go quickly, or it will be too late.”
Zhou Qingyu was touched. Although she was very ugly, her heart was so pure it made one's heart ache.
“I'll marry you.”
Zhou Qingyu said seriously.
Zhao Yinxi was startled and lowered her head in self-abasement: “Young Master Zhou, please don't joke. How could I be worthy of you?”
Her face was so terrifying that children would cry upon seeing it, and adults would have nightmares.
She dared not even hope that someone would dare to marry her.
“Isn't it just a face? I'll just cure you.”
Zhou Qingyu saw the source of her inferiority.
Cure?
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhao Yinxi's eyes, but it quickly extinguished.
“It's useless. My father invited renowned divine doctors from far and wide, but it was all in vain. They all said it was an incurable disease.”
“Is that so? Let me see.”
Zhou Qingyu lifted her chin and carefully examined her for a while, then couldn't help but be surprised.
“No wonder they couldn't cure it; this is a rare Innate fetal toxin. Without some skill, there's really nothing to be done.”
“However, it's not difficult for me.”
He had been stationed in Tian Yuan Divine Prison for many years.
The great evil venerables inside were all subdued by him.
Many powerful individuals, to be released from prison early, would even offer their true inheritances and treasures to curry favor with him.
Among them, the famous Undying Evil Doctor offered his entire medical Dao true inheritance.
He had learned most of it.
But having medical skills alone was not enough.
The Innate fetal toxin required an expensive Materials.
And all his belongings were left in Wangyue Holy Palace.
Thinking, he fumbled in his embrace and pulled out a black token.
This was something the Black Dragon Merchant Guild president had specially offered to Zhou Qingyu yesterday to improve the prison environment.
He casually tossed it into his embrace and forgot to take it out.
It was the only thing he brought with him.
“It just so happens to come in handy.”
Zhou Qingyu nodded:
“I'll go to Little Hei's shop to get some Heaven And Earth Treasure. You wait for me obediently.”
Little Hei?
Zhao Yinxi was confused.
When she saw the token in Zhou Qingyu's hand, she exclaimed in surprise:
“A Black Dragon Merchant Guild token? A Black Heaven Token that allows you to choose any item?”
The Black Dragon Merchant Guild, that was a terrifying force that dominated the commercial landscape of countless continents.
Qingdi City had a Wanbao Pavilion set up by the Black Dragon Merchant Guild.
Everything inside was the most top-tier item on the continent.
The Zhao Family was considered a prominent Family in Qingdi City.
However, their entire Family's assets couldn't buy a few items inside.
Of course, if one had a Black Heaven Token, it would be different; one could take one item for free.
This item was even rarer; it had only appeared a few times in Qingdi City.
“But why is yours black?” Zhao Yinxi blinked her big eyes.
She remembered the Black Heaven Token was bronze-colored.
“Is that so? Little Hei gave me this one. This guy wouldn't dare to deceive me, right?”
Zhou Qingyu shook it, saying in surprise:
“I'll know if I try it at the local Wanbao Pavilion.”
Looking at Zhou Qingyu's departing back, Zhao Yinxi remained lost in thought for a long time.
“Who is the Little Hei he mentioned? Could it be the Black Dragon Merchant Guild president, the Black Heaven Demon Lord? The Black Heaven Token, it is said, only he can issue it.”
“But how is that possible? The Black Heaven Demon Lord, that is a peerless Devil Head who dominates an entire region. Zhou Qingyu doesn't even have any cultivation…”
Muttering to this point, Zhao Yinxi finally came to her senses and scoffed at herself:
“I actually believed his nonsense.”
“He's just looking for a nice excuse to leave, isn't he?”
“How could anyone truly want to marry me?”
