It is really hard to explain the wonder of a person's fate. A few months ago, Yan Liqiang came to the Lu family as a penniless young man. However, in just over half a year, Yan Liqiang first became the top three in the Qinghe County's national martial arts county examination, became famous in the village, and entered the county national martial arts hall. Then, quietly, he was noticed and promoted by Sun Bingchen who came to Pingxi City for inspection. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix.
Local tyrants like the Lu family can understand the significance of Yan Liqiang following Sun Bingchen better than ordinary people.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the Wang family, another big family in Huanglong County that was destroyed by the county magistrate. If the Wang family could produce a figure like Yan Liqiang who could follow a world-famous official like Sun Bingchen, then how could the Wang family disappear in the blink of an eye
The larger and more powerful the family is, the more they understand how serious it is.
"I wonder what Li Qiang thinks about this matter. Does he want to prepare to work for Lord Sun?"
After Yan Liqiang and Qian Su finished talking about what happened with Sun Bingchen, Mr. Lu and Lu Peien looked at each other. Both of them saw shock in each other's eyes. After Mr. Lu pondered for a moment, he gently asked Yan Liqiang this question.
"This time I went home, I also discussed this matter with my father. My father also supports me to work for Lord Sun. I also want to follow Lord Sun to gain some experience, learn some skills, and increase my knowledge!" Yan Liqiang said modestly.
Yan Liqiang's answer was half true and half false, at least on the surface it made sense. But what really made Yan Liqiang decide to stay with Sun Bingchen was the life-and-death disaster he and his son had experienced last time. In the eyes of a county magistrate, their lives and property were just like ants. Others could crush their family to pieces with just the flick of a finger.
How could Ye Tiancheng do this? In the final analysis, it's just two words: power!
It is precisely because of the experience, pain, suffering and enlightenment that Yan Liqiang understands the horror of power. All people living in this world, unless they are peerless masters or secluded in the mountains, otherwise, how many people can escape the influence of power? Since it is impossible to escape, it is better to embrace it actively, at least it is worse than always dealing with it passively.
Moreover, in addition to the sense of crisis, there is another reason that made Yan Liqiang make such a decision - since God has allowed him to live again in this world, why not live his life more excitingly and see the scenery of this world, so that his life in this world will not be in vain.
Did God let him possess the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone and master the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing just to let him come to this world to play a supporting role? No! Yan Liqiang didn't believe it. He felt that there must be a reason why God gave you something...
If Sun Bingchen hadn't been there, Yan Liqiang would have planned to go out and travel and see the world at some point, but with Sun Bingchen, he could just take advantage of the opportunity to board the inspector's ship.
"This is your chance and blessing, Li Qiang. We in the Lu family are naturally happy for you, and we wish you a bright future!" Lu Peien laughed, glanced at the old man, and understood what the old man meant by that look. "If you stay with Lord Sun and leave Pingxi County and Ganzhou in the future, Li Qiang will probably have to leave with him. It will be difficult to see you again, Li Qiang. I feel reluctant to let you go..."
At the end, Lu Payne sighed with regret.
Yan Liqiang was so smart that he understood the meaning behind Lu Peien's words. The Lu family meant that the Lu family supported his decision, but some things had to be made clear at this time. There had to be a result at this time, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with in the future and it would be delayed. This was also the reason why Yan Liqiang came to visit the Lu family this time.
"I understand what Sixth Brother means. I came to the Lu family this time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sixth Brother and the old man, and to say a few words from my heart!" Yan Liqiang looked at Old Man Lu and Lu Pei'en sincerely, "Miss Nine is a lady from a noble family, the apple of the old man's eye, with both good character and appearance. Although I haven't been with Miss Nine for a long time, I have a very good impression of her. I also understand the old man's thoughts. I am very grateful to the old man for liking me. If I can get married with Miss Nine, it will be my blessing. If Miss Nine is willing, my marriage with Miss Nine can be settled before leaving Pingxi County. In the future, I will not let Miss Nine down!"
With a son-in-law like this, what else can they say? Mr. Lu and Lu Peien were completely speechless, because Yan Liqiang had already said everything they wanted to say, completely touching their hearts, and he was very polite and kind.
When Mr. Lu heard this, his two long eyebrows twitched. He straightened up, his face serious, and directly ordered Lu Payne, "Payne, Li Qiang has said this, go call Bei Xin!"
Lu Pein immediately got up and left. Yan Liqiang, Qian Su and Old Man Lu stayed in the living room drinking tea and waiting. After just a cup of tea, Lu Pein came back, but Lu Beixin did not follow him.
Lu Pei'en looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that Mr. Lu couldn't help but get angry, he explained, "This... Ninth Sister... Ninth Sister said that she and Li Qiang might... might not be destined to be together, so there's no need for her to come..."
Thinking of Lu Beixin, Yan Liqiang smiled. Based on his understanding of Lu Beixin, Lu Beixin probably wouldn't say such flowery words. Instead, she would only say one sentence - I would rather die than marry him - Lu Peien didn't want to embarrass himself, so he "beautified" it a bit, but the meaning was the same.
How could Mr. Lu not understand his daughter's temper? But he really couldn't force her to do this. Even if he was 100% satisfied with Yan Liqiang, it would be useless if his precious daughter didn't want to do it. If he really forced her, who knows what Lu Beixin would do. After hearing what Lu Pei'en said, Mr. Lu could only sigh and said to Yan Liqiang, "Beixin has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She doesn't have this blessing. If you don't mind, don't call me Mr. Lu anymore. Just call me uncle. If I can't let you be my half-son, I will recognize you as my nephew. We will be a family in the future!"
Yan Liqiang stood up and respectfully gave the old man a salute as a junior, "Liqiang greets uncle!"
…
When Yan Liqiang and Qian Su came out of Lujiazhuang, they had already eaten dinner and it was completely dark. Lu Beixin's reaction was within his expectations, so Yan Liqiang had no reason to be disappointed. It was just that he had to make this trip. If he didn't, in the eyes of the Lu family, he would become a villain who hugged a big tree and then turned around and kicked the Lu family away. These human relationships must be observed.
"Li Qiang, you knew that Miss Lu would refuse, right?" Qian Su, who was riding on the rhino horse, asked Yan Liqiang in a low voice only after they walked out of Lujiazhuang.
"Uncle Qian, Miss Lu has been the apple of Mr. Lu's eye since she was a child. Miss Lu must have her own ideas about this kind of lifelong event. Moreover, I brought Miss Lu to Pingxi City a few days ago and offended her. Although I came here with sincerity, I am afraid that in Miss Lu's eyes, I am not her ideal match..." Yan Liqiang shook his head.
"What a pity!" Qian Su also sighed, "We all think that you and Miss Lu are a good match. In a few years, you will be a perfect couple. If you can get the help of the Lu family, you will be even more powerful in Pingxi County in the future!"
"You can't force this kind of thing!"
"That's true, but if you stay with Lord Sun, you will naturally have countless opportunities in the future, so there's no need to rush!"
At this moment, Yan Liqiang, who had already left Lujiazhuang, felt someone was watching him from behind. He turned around on his rhino horse and saw a pretty figure standing on the wall of Lujiazhuang behind him. That figure was standing on the top of the wall, staring blankly at his back as he left.
Seeing Yan Liqiang turning around, the figure left the wall in a panic.
…
After staying in Huanglong County for a day, Yan Liqiang returned to Pingxi City the next day. After changing into a decent and clean set of clothes, he came to the manor near the plum garden where Sun Bingchen was, and asked to see Sun Bingchen...
