My Girl and Tenderness

As a mother, she only wants to give Si Ji the best. Even though Jiang Tianyi had broken off the engagement with the Si family before, she is still the best choice.

"Let's ask first and see what Miss Jiang thinks."

Marriage is not an emotional matter. I hope Jiang Tianyi can understand this truth after all these years.

In today's ever-changing times, it would be best if the Si family and the Jiang family could stand together. To fight against the tide of the times, you need strong companions.

"Let's go, the exchange meeting should start soon. Call Si Ji and we'll set off."

Before the war begins, we still need to have a brief talk and see the demands of all parties.

443. Jiang Tianyi's concerns

"Miss, the head of the Si family wants to invite you to attend the meeting."

A man in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, his nimble figure flashed across the courtyard, the sharp edge of his sword was fully revealed, leaving traces of it on the residence blessed by the formation.

The little maidservant in the corner shrank back in fear, but there was a bit of longing in her eyes. Although this kind of sharpness was dangerous, she also had a heroic beauty, which was difficult to approach, but admirable.

hum-

The movement suddenly stopped, the sword tip rang, as if she wanted to retract her strength, but she couldn't hide her sharpness. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was her unique style, very handsome.

But she knew her own situation, this was just proof of her poor control, so she frowned slightly. Because she could never master the Condensation Spring Realm, and because of the servant's message.

"Hey."

She sighed softly and shook her head, her eyes like swords, she looked at the maid beside her and said -

"Reply to the head of the Si family, Jiang Tianyi is too embarrassed to show up, please forgive me."

"Miss, do you really want to refuse?"

It seemed as if he was feeling sorry for her. Ever since the young lady rejected the marriage proposal from the Si family, no one dared to propose to her anymore.

At this age, she should have been married long ago in a big family, especially since Jiang Tianyi has such a high status, she should have many suitors.

But after the Si family's marriage was cancelled, anyone who wanted to propose to Jiang Tianyi would have to think carefully about whether to take the risk of embarrassing or even offending the Si family.

When both parties are equally powerful, breaking off an engagement often does not mean the end.

Of course, if someone cheats for a three-year agreement or something, the inequality in strength doesn’t mean it’s the end. In short, things will always be a little complicated.

And if they were to renew their marriage relationship with the Si family, then no one would have to say anything, and all previous grievances could be written off. At least in terms of family interests, everyone would be happy.

Under the current circumstances, cooperation is mutually beneficial, which is something everyone can understand.

Jiang Tianyi, however, looked impatient. He slowly put away his stance, gently twisted the sword tip with his hand, as if recalling his shortcomings and concentrating on cultivation. He said:

"I have no interest in marriage alliances. It doesn't matter if my family sends someone else. I will fully support them and will not be involved with other families. Aunt Si Yun doesn't need to worry."

She understood very well why the other party was obsessed with her, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jiang Tianyi was the best of the younger generation of the Jiang family and the future successor, and a marriage of this magnitude was the most ideal.

And if someone else is sent, without Jiang Tianyi's support in the future, it would probably be no different from being in vain.

Now she promised to give the other party a reassurance. I won't marry her, so there's no need to worry about this side going back on their word and suddenly marrying her to another family.

The Zi family and the Ji family have had contact for a long time, and the interests of the two families have become more consistent over the years, so the Jiang family and the Si family should also take action.

She raised her head, looked at the gray sky, and let out a breath softly.

After so many years, she has grown up and is no longer the impulsive little girl. She has gradually shouldered the burden of the family and has to consider the family's interests when doing things.

Because this family contains all the people she cherishes, she has to be cautious.

"But Miss...what will you do in this case?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Tianyi made another sword flower.

The maids looked at each other and muttered:

"You can't marry someone from a cultivation family, so you can only choose a husband from among the common people. Who would be worthy of you?"

Who are these young ladies? Most outsiders only saw Si Ji's strength as a powerful person who had entered the Ningquan realm at a young age, but ignored that Jiang Tianyi was not weaker than her.

"I still remember that the young lady said that only the one who can defeat her is qualified to be her husband."

"And he must not be afraid of the power of the Si family, and he must be of the same age as the young lady."

"How can there be such people among the common people? Even if there are, they should have joined the major families long ago."

The conditions are really too harsh. You should know that the first condition is not easy enough. Those who have entered the Ningquan realm have few rivals, let alone the younger generation, even the older generation.

Jiang Tianyi listened to their mutterings. The little maidservant was always gossipy, but after being surrounded by them for many years, she had developed the ability to ignore them and concentrate on practicing martial arts.

But today her heart moved slightly. In addition to those sharp eyes, the sword hanging in front of her suddenly appeared in her mind.

Sharper than hers, yet almost perfectly controlled, creating an unimaginable miracle before her eyes.

"Wait, no, there seems to be such a person."

The maids discussed gossip and finally remembered a rumor:

"It seems that in the secret realm, a young man defeated the young lady, didn't he?"

"Pah, pah, pah, how could such a thing be possible? Unless that person is the eldest young master of the Si family, it must be fake."

"But many people say so...why don't we just ask the young lady and find out? That person seems to be at odds with the Si family, and he's very popular. His name is...Mulan?"

Clang!

The sword in Jiang Tianyi's hand suddenly flew out and stabbed into the corner where the maids were huddled, scaring them and making them scream.

"Little, miss?"

"My hand slipped."

Her eyes looked a little unnatural, and the maids around her immediately noticed that something was wrong with the young lady, and asked one after another -

"Miss, is this true?"

"real."

Jiang Tianyi admitted it straightforwardly, walked over to take the sword back, and added -

"And he challenged me across realms, the Qi Gathering Realm, and defeated me under the suppression of the secret realm."

Being unable to accept defeat is the behavior of a person without manners. In fact, Jiang Tianyi admires Mulan very much. Since ancient times, those who were able to challenge higher-level opponents have all become the most dazzling stars of their era.

"It's amazing. He is worth learning from."

To be honest, Jiang Tianyi felt that she was just expressing her normal thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the maids heard a completely different feeling. Their eyes lit up, and they covered their mouths in disbelief and said -

"Listen, did you hear that? The young lady actually admires a boy so much. In the past, even if she lost, she would hold back her anger and want to win back."

"Yeah, this time there was none at all. That young lady who was so outstanding didn't even show a trace of stubbornness. And you still say it's worth learning?"

"Even when he lost a duel with the older generation of masters in the clan, he was still unwilling to accept the defeat. I have never seen him so submissive as this."

Chirp, chirp...

All of them looked relieved, as if "someone can finally tame that stubborn young lady", as if they had already made up their minds on something.

Veins kept popping up on Jiang Tianyi's forehead.

These little bastards, they want to die, right?

444. The boy walking his dog, the girl breaking off an engagement

The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became.

Because if you think about it carefully, it seems that Mulan really meets Jiang Tianyi's criteria for a partner perfectly.

A young boy of similar age, who was able to beat Jiang Tianyi and was not afraid of the power of the Si family, there were even rumors that he had been slapping the face of the Si family. This dark horse was not afraid of any family power at all.

Such a genius, he is just the right person to be the young lady's son-in-law.

But the maids didn't notice.

The sharpness in those young ladies' eyes was so sharp that it could pierce people to death. They really gossiped in front of others. Even someone as casual as Jiang Tianyi would get furious.

hum-

A flash of sword light swept past, scaring them so much that they all lowered their heads.

boom!

A crack immediately appeared on the wall. It was not a sword mark, but a crack caused by brute force. It was obvious that Jiang Tianyi was in a state of confusion and had no control over his strength at all.

"If you keep gossiping, I'll cut off your tongue."

"No, I don't dare anymore!"

The maids covered their mouths and saw the young lady's cheeks turn red with anger, then they left with a giggle.

"…"Have I spoiled them too much?

Jiang Tianyi began to reflect for a moment, then shook his head slightly and slowly retracted the sword.

Listening to them discussing their criteria for choosing a mate, she couldn't help but recall the time when she went to Si's house in person and met the child.

He was the son of the clan leader back then. He was gloomy and had arrogance suppressed in his bones. He always kept his head down, facing everyone's ridicule.

Should such a person be my husband?

He was weak and helpless, unable to even bully others. As the son of the clan leader, he looked so cowardly, which made her feel uncomfortable.

No matter how weak or useless you are, you should never lose all your pride.

Just like the boy who defeated her in the secret realm.

To him, she was a strong person in the Ningquan realm, with a hopeless strength barrier, but he still had the courage to raise his sword. He roared and screamed, wanting to chop her down on her horse.

It made her heart tremble.

This is what true strength should be like, it is the strength of the mind, without caring about other things.

Others have many misunderstandings about her. When she said that the one who can defeat her must be stronger than her, she was not referring to the strength itself, but the spirit that never gives up.

She admired people like that.

“They are both ‘Lan’, but they are worlds apart.”

Jiang Tianyi sighed and shook his head slowly.

I don’t know whether Mulan has escaped from the secret realm. A person like him should not die.

After thinking for a while, he decided to go to the meeting, of course not in conjunction with the Si family, but to ask Si Ji some questions in his own name.

Because Mulan seemed to have said that she wanted to challenge Si Ji, and the two must have fought against each other. I wonder if Si Ji knows the whereabouts of Mulan.

"He let me go once, so I should show some concern for him."

This is what she explained in her mind.

Holding a sword in her arms, she slowly walked out of the mansion. There were no servants around her. She usually liked to go out alone. This time she even scared the maids away. No one bothered her, so she felt much more comfortable.

Walking on the school corridor, there were few pedestrians on the road. I guess they all went to watch the exchange meeting and wanted to be the first to know how the big guys were talking.

Not only mortals, but even immortal cultivators cannot escape from such a vortex.

Change involves everyone.

Everyone looked worried.

Her sharp eyes noticed a guy who was a little different.

"Hey! You stinky dog, wait for a moment, don't pick up bones on the roadside! If I'm willing to take you out for a walk, you better behave yourself, otherwise there won't be a next time!"

"..." Jiang Tianyi blinked and looked at the boy who exuded the leisurely feeling of a commoner.

An ordinary shirt, black trousers, and a pair of black and white canvas shoes. The total cost of his outfit may not even be 300 yuan, but his appearance is quite clean and not sloppy, which makes people feel comfortable. (Actually, it is the credit of his wives)

Jingle Bell……

A metal dog chain is tied around the neck of a white dog with soft fur. The dog is running happily on the ground with its big tail wagging. It looks very lively.

Even Jiang Tianyi liked it when she saw it. Her lively and intelligent eyes were smart and cute.

However, its owner didn't seem to think so. He kept scolding the dog along the way, as if it was embarrassing to bring it out or something, which made her frown slightly.

Wait, he seems to be... that who?

Miss Jiang struggled to recall the other person's image from a corner of her memory. Isn't this the person next to Mulan?
