Doomsday Totem

Chapter 458 Forced Marriage
Dr3716-5-19, in the afternoon.

The sunshine in early summer is warm and comfortable, shining on the mottled stones through the towering old trees.The bursts of cicadas echoed in the ancient mansion, and the blue glazed tiles reflected the dazzling luster.Whenever there is a breeze blowing, the bamboo forest swaying, the shadows of the trees whirling, and the light fragrance of flowers, grass and bamboo leaves rushing to the face, refreshing.

Under the shade of trees, in the antique courtyard, a stone table and four stone benches constitute a peaceful and peaceful picture.

This is a corner of Jinxin Town in the Far East Continent, the Shepherd's Compound.

At this moment, the hall of the Shepherd's House was full of people, but the dignified atmosphere was far from the leisurely and cozy atmosphere in the courtyard.

A middle-aged man with neatly trimmed hair and beard, meticulous clothes and serious eyes was sitting on the grand master's chair in the middle of the hall.On his left is a young man with a good appearance and a calm temperament. He looks about 27 or [-] years old, and he is wearing silver-gray psionic power armor.The surface of the armor was polished and shiny, reflecting a faint figure.At this moment, the man was sitting upright, looking straight ahead with a very serious expression.

On the opposite side of the man was a tall and slender woman with a pretty face and a little charm in her brows and eyes, but with hints of anger.In addition to these three people, there were dozens of middle-aged men and women sitting in the hall. They all looked at the ground quietly without making a sound.

"Bowen, I heard that you have already entered the late fifth stage, is that right?" In the silence, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle smiled slightly, turned his head, and asked the young man.His name is Mu Baiyu, and he is the head of the Jinjiao Mu family. He is in his prime and has a very strong personality.

"Back to Uncle, in half a year, Bowen will be ready to hit the sixth level." The young man replied.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused quite a commotion, and everyone whispered to each other.At this moment, Mu Baiyu glanced over, and everyone immediately sat up straight, not daring to discuss in a low voice.

Then, Mu Baiyu nodded, said "yes" three times in a row, and then asked: "You are all in the same academy, have you been in contact with it before?"

"No!" The young man was about to speak when he was stopped by the woman opposite.

"Huh?" Mu Baiyu turned his head to look at the woman, his eyes were extremely sharp.The latter immediately looked away with a cold face.

"Qianhe is a celebrity in the academy, one of the top ten beauties of Bailuhu Lake, not someone like me can know." The young man said hastily.

"What? Ten beauties?" Mu Baiyu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't study hard, and only do some nonsensical things, are you worthy of your parents' training!"

"Uncle, you misunderstood. This is judged by the good people in the academy, and has nothing to do with Sister Qianhe." The young man explained.His name is Jiang Bowen, he is a branch of Mujiaojiang's family, and he also studied at the Central Silver City Military Academy.He originally looked down on Mu Qianhe, this woman had a mediocre reputation in the academy, it was said that she had some dubious dealings with some small nobles in Yincheng, and she was abandoned by them later, she was considered a broken shoe.

But since he thinks the other party is a broken shoe, why is he still here?

Although Jiang Bowen's family background is average, he has been the pride of his family since he was a child, and he is a leader in the circle around him.But after arriving in the western continent, his pride was ruthlessly shattered.In the eyes of those Yincheng nobles, he was just a commoner at the bottom.And his extraordinary talent, in that kind of elite gathering place, has also become bleak. Those who can reach the sixth level before the age of 30 are the focus of training.He is a person who is not talented enough, and has no money or power. He can only watch helplessly as others rise to the top and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

In the cruel environment, his mind gradually distorted.He hates those who are richer, more powerful, luckier, and more talented than him.At the same time, he hates those Far Eastern commoners who don't work hard and have no talent, and even more despise those Far Easterners who please the nobles and do things for them.In fact, he used to be humble and desperate to join the Temple or Notre Dame.Because in this way, you can learn those ancient secret books and improve the efficiency of your practice.But he has nothing to do with him, and with his distorted personality, he can't find anyone who is willing to introduce him.

The Temple and Notre Dame cannot be joined by those who have the ability.Especially for the civilians in the Far East, their review is particularly strict.

The reason why he appeared here today and wanted to propose marriage to the Mu family was not because he liked Mu Qianhe so much, but because he liked her team.During this period of time, he witnessed the rapid development of the Suzaku Group in the dark forest.As long as Mu Qianhe can be married back, and then find an opportunity to get rid of her secretly, he will be able to take over her property smoothly.Mu Qianhe was just an ordinary woman, and she was nothing compared to a powerful psychic like him. With his strength, she could get rid of her at any time.

For this marriage proposal, he spent a lot of money, sold most of the team, and gave a gift of two thousand gold coins to the head of the shepherd family.

And Mu Baiyu secretly sold Mu Qianhe to Jiang Bowen.On the bright side, Jiang Bowen is a top student of the Central Silver City Military Academy, a fifth-level psychic, and a member of the Mujiaojiang family in the Far East. No matter from any angle, it is a well-matched and happy karma.

In fact, it's not that Mu Qianhe doesn't have money, but she has always felt that the money is slag and cannot be used to support the family.What's more, she never imagined that Mu Baiyu would have a private deal with Jiang Bowen.

"Bowen, you are a good boy..." Mu Baiyu pressed Jiang Bowen's hand and said, "If you don't dislike Qianhe and promise to treat her kindly in the future, then this marriage..." He paused, emphasizing He said in a tone, "That's it." Since ancient times, the marriages of people in the Far East have been set by the elders of the clan, and the younger generations must not disobey them.

"I don't agree!" As soon as the words finished, Mu Qianhe slammed, stood up angrily, and shouted loudly.

"Qianhe..." Mu Qianhe's father hurriedly got up and stopped him.Going against the wishes of the Patriarch would be treasonous in the Far East, and one's back would be broken by the clansmen.

"Qianhe, you are both talented and knowledgeable in both blog and writing. You are a stable person, at a suitable age, and you have great respect for your elders..." Mu Baiyu smiled slightly, and said earnestly, "Uncle Tang believes that your marriage will be happy and happy." In fact, Mu Baiyu wasn't exactly selling his niece, he still did a lot of consideration.There were many people who came to propose marriage, and there were also many people who wanted to give him money, but among them, Jiang Bowen was the best and most suitable.If it's those dudes, no matter how much money is given to him, he will not agree, after all, he is the head of the family, and he must not lose his prestige.

In his opinion, Jiang Bowen is from the Far East, and also a member of the Mujiao Wang clan of the horned rhinoceros clan. Although he is only a side branch, he has both good character and learning, a humble personality, and a bright future.He also sent people to the local area to inquire about it, and both neighbors and teachers and friends all praised Jiang Bowen.Only then did he collect the money and make arrangements for the marriage.

What's more, Mu Baiyu didn't know the development of Mu Qianhe, nor did he know the current size of the Suzaku group.And Mu Qianhe thought that the real owner of the Suzaku group was Tie Slag, and never mentioned it.

"I don't like him, let alone love him..." Mu Qianhe said in a deep voice with frost on his face, "I will never marry him!" A trace of disdain in Bowen's eyes.Women are very sensitive to feelings.Not to mention that she already has someone in her heart, even if the other party is sincere, she also hates this kind of coercive pursuit, let alone seeing the other party's contempt.

Mu Qianhe's father's expression changed drastically. Unexpectedly, his daughter dared to speak to the head of the family like this, and immediately reprimanded loudly: "Qianhe! You are not allowed to speak to the elders like this!"

"Dad..." Looking at his father with gray temples, Mu Qianhe opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Nowadays young people yearn for freedom of marriage. It's understandable. Let the children think for themselves." Mu Baiyu looked at Mu Qianhe's father and said slowly, "Brother Sixteenth Cousin, you should go back and persuade him."

"Qianhe, please believe me, I will treat you well, be filial to the elders, and take responsibility for the family." Jiang Bowen stood up and said sincerely.Then he bowed to Mu Qianhe's father and said, "Uncle, I was the one who was abrupt. Sister Qianhe may not be prepared for the moment, and she doesn't know me well." He sighed and said, "It's okay, I I will wait until Sister Qianhe changes her mind..."

"Don't dream, I won't marry you even if I die!" Mu Qianhe interrupted him and said sharply.

"Qianhe!" Mu Qianhe's father was trembling with anger, seeing his daughter's disrespectful eyes and growling. He raised his hand and made a gesture to hit him, but he couldn't, and stopped in mid-air.The cousin behind him hastily stepped forward to stop him and tried to persuade him.

"My daughter is old enough to have her own ideas, let her think about it." "Give her some time..." "Qianhe is not stupid, she will accept it when she understands." "Yes, yes, don't get mad body."

Seeing her elderly father getting angry, and thinking of her parents who worked so hard to raise her and spent half of her life's hard-earned money on sending her to study, Mu Qianhe couldn't help but burst into tears.She glanced at Jiang Bowen with hatred, shook her hand vigorously, and was about to turn around to leave, but was stopped by Mu Baiyu.

"Wait!" Mu Baiyu stretched out his hand towards Mu Qianhe and shouted.

"Qianhe is here." Mu Qianhe nodded and said.

"Tell Tang Shu honestly, is there someone you like? If there is, tell Tang Shu. If you are suitable, Tang Shu will help you." Mu Baiyu said kindly.

Hearing Mu Baiyu's words, Jiang Bowen's face suddenly turned cold, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and soon returned to normal.

"I..." Mu Qianhe hesitated for a while, finally bit her teeth, and said, "No!" That person no longer wants her, so what else can she say?And even if he is here, can he stand up to the words "right family" in the eyes of the elders?
Or, he is a refugee from Tieshan Town. He has no father and no mother since he was a child, and he lives by picking up garbage.Or, he is the aloof Wilderness Knight, the lover of the Templar Princess, and she is just a mistress...

No!Is it Xiaowu Xiaoliu, or was abandoned...

After leaving the hall, Mu Qianhe, who returned home, locked himself in the room, hugging the pillow and weeping.

After a long time, she picked up the communicator and dialed a number.

"Doo...doo...doo..."

"Chuck..."

"Big sister, when will you be back?" Bai Xiaoyun's voice came from the other side as soon as the connection was made.

"Bai Xiaoyun, something happened to me, quickly ask Wang Hu to bring someone to rescue me." Mu Qianhe said in a deep voice, since the day she came back, she has been imprisoned by invisible shackles.

"What's the matter?" Bai Xiaoyun asked hastily.

"I'm trapped at home, they want to force me to marry..." Mu Qianhe hesitated for a while, and said a little embarrassedly.

"How can this be done!" Bai Xiaoyun was startled immediately, and said hastily, "Hold on, I'll find someone right away!"

"Well, go!" Mu Qianhe replied.
