Chapter 410: 410
On the jade bed, the beauty opened both eyes weakly .
Xiao Changfeng was overjoyed as he said, "Ruyan, you're awake!"
"F-Father?"
Xiao Ruyan saw Xiao Changfeng when she opened her eyes, but she stubbornly turned her head over and was unwilling to take another look .
Xiao Changfeng felt a heartache as he let out a feeble sigh and said, "Ruyan, Father knows that you have a grudge in your heart, but . . . Father is helpless too!"
Xiao Ruyan still had her head turned and refused to say a word .
Xiao Changfeng's heart was like it was being sliced by blades . He knew that his daughter was already extremely disappointed in him .
"Fine then . You aren't willing to listen to father's words, but you're willing to listen to Ji Qing's words, right?" Xiao Changfeng sighed heavily and said .
Xiao Ruyan's body quivered when she heard that and could not resist turning her head around, her eyes filled with doubt .
Xiao Changfeng knew his daughter's thoughts and explained, "Father is incapable . When I discovered that you were poisoned, Father was already powerless to do anything . It was Ji Qing's miraculous skills that could revive the dead that actually brought you back to life miraculously!"
Xiao Ruyan's eyes were filled with astoundment . She was clearly than anyone else about the toxicity of the Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder . It could be said to kill upon infliction .
After being poisoned for several hours, it was basically beyond redemption . Ji Qing could actually bring her back . How brilliant medical skills were needed for this?!
"W-Where is he?" Xiao Ruyan asked with a slight tremor .
Xiao Changfeng sighed again and said, "Ruyan, I know that you might not like to hear some words, but the spouse finding martial competition is already unavoidable . Otherwise, it will be very hard for our Xiao Family to keep a foothold in the capital in the future if we offend the two Huang and Xue families at the same time . "
Seeing his daughter's emotions becoming agitated, Xiao Changfeng hurriedly said, "You don't get agitated first! Listen to me finish talking first! Perhaps, this unsolvable situation now has an opportunity to reverse!"
Xiao Ruyan's beautiful eyes swirled slightly, and she said in surprise, "Father's meaning is . . . "
Xiao Changfeng nodded and said, "That's right! If you're really unwilling to marry into the two Huang and Xue families, maybe you can land this matter on Ji Qing! I think . . . if it was Ji Qing, you . . . wouldn't reject, right?"
Hearing Xiao Changfeng's words, Xiao Ruyan's initially pallid and wan face because of weakness became flushed red .
Seeing Xiao Ruyan putting on a posture to refute but blushed instad, Xiao Changfeng sighed faintly and said, "Actually, during the Grand Pill Assembly, I already saw through your thoughts . After Ji Qing was taken in by Sovereign Star Abyss as a disciple, his status was also sufficient to be mentioned in the same breath as the Huang and Xue families . If the two of you were brought together, it isn't prohibited either . It's just . . . "
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xiao Ruyan was actually slightly gleeful in her heart .
But when she heard the two words 'it's just,' Xiao Ruyan's heart involuntarily plunged, and she asked weakly, "It's just what?"
"Sigh . . . I never would have thought that you would do something so resolute . I'm afraid . . . afraid that you drop flowers pining for love, while he, a heartless brook, babbles along!" Xiao Changfeng said with a sigh .
Xiao Ruyan's heart involuntarily jolted fiercely as she said unresignedly, "If he doesn't have interest in me, why did he help me repeatedly?"
"Father is somebody who has gone through it all . Ultimately, I can see things clearer than you . Although I don't know why he entered the Xiao Family, Ji Qing definitely came harboring some kind of goal . That was why Father carried out an unwise decision to intentionally let him and Tong Wencahng face off . Who knew that unexpected sowing led to blooming in the garden? Ji Qing actually became the Xiao Family's savior! Honestly, Father actually already completely infuriated him at that time with distrust . If not for you standing up to support him vehemently, he would probably have already flicked his sleeves and left . "
Hearing Xiao Changfeng's words, Xiao Ruyan was even more puzzled . "Since that's the case, doesn't that show even more clearly . . . "
