So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!
Chapter 316 Yu Lingyuan
Upon hearing the news that Yu Lingxi had quietly left, Lei Tingyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised.
Sister Lingxi...
That woman who was always a bit stubborn and proud, was actually willing to let go so easily?
He thought to himself, perhaps this was the best outcome. At least, the engagement that had embarrassed both parties could finally become a thing of the past.
"It's finally over!"
Just as he was secretly relieved, Sect Master Lei pushed the door open and walked in with a serious expression, interrupting his thoughts.
"Go over there? It's not that easy to go over there."
There was a hint of helplessness in Sect Leader Lei's words.
"She was called back to the Yu family by her brother Yu Lingyuan."
Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi frowned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Father, what does this mean? Could it be..."
Sect Leader Lei sighed softly, took out a sealed letter from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it.
"I received a letter from Yu Lingyuan, in which he mentioned your intention to cancel the engagement. But the Yu family seems to have made up their minds to marry Yu Lingxi into the Lei Xiao Sect. So, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cancel the engagement."
Lei Tingyi took the letter, glanced through it quickly, and frowned even more tightly.
"Father, didn't the Yu family look for other marriage partners two years ago? Why do they have to choose the Lei Xiao Sect now? Even if that's true, it shouldn't be me. Although I'm the young sect leader, the Lei Xiao Sect is a major event of the sect. How can it be my private property? There are many famous families and powerful forces on the Jiuzhou Continent. There must be a good match for Sister Lingxi."
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei's eyes became deep, as if he was also thinking about this question. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"You are right. This is also what I am confused about. The sudden change in the attitude of the Yu family must have a reason. But no matter what, marriage is a serious matter and it is not a joke. We in the Lei Xiao Sect cannot treat it lightly. This matter still needs to be considered carefully."
After saying this, Sect Leader Lei turned his back and looked at the vast sky outside the window, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Lei Tingyi remained silent, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that behind this marriage, it was not only the fate of two people, but also the future of two sects. And all this seemed to have just begun.
After three days of trekking, Yu Lingxi finally returned to the Yu family he had been missing for a long time.
The moment she stepped into the hall of the Yu family, a familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere hit her in the face, leaving her with mixed feelings.
The hall is decorated solemnly and elegantly, and every detail reveals the profound heritage of the Yu family.
Her eyes quickly locked onto the figure standing in the center of the hall—the head of the Yu family, and also her biological brother, Yu Lingyuan.
He was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, with an upright figure, a stern face, and unquestionable majesty in his eyes.
"elder brother……"
Yu Lingxi called softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.
Although she was ready to face her family, she still felt a little nervous when facing this brother who had always been strict with her and had high expectations of her.
And now, my brother is becoming more and more different from others.
Yu Lingyuan turned around upon hearing the voice, his eyes stayed on Yu Lingxi for a moment, and then he spoke slowly.
"You're back."
His voice was deep and powerful, as if every word contained a tremendous amount of force.
Yu Lingxi nodded and whispered.
"Yes, I'm back."
She looked up at Yu Lingyuan, trying to read something from his eyes, but she could read nothing except indifference and majesty.
"Do you know why I called you back?"
Yu Lingyuan asked, without any emotion in his tone.
Yu Lingxi's heart tightened, she knew this question could not be avoided.
"Is it because of... Lei Xiaozong's wedding?"
she asked tentatively.
When Yu Lingyuan heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, but then he regained his composure.
"Yes, it is because of this marriage."
He paused and continued.
"The marriage between the Yu family and the Lei Xiao Sect concerns the future and interests of both families. As a member of the Yu family, you have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to the family."
When Yu Lingxi heard this, an indescribable bitterness surged in his heart.
She knew that she could not resist the family arrangement, but this marriage made her feel extremely heavy and depressed.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, then looked up at Yu Lingyuan and said firmly.
"Brother, I will do my best to bring honor to our family."
Yu Lingyuan's eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at Yu Lingxi, his tone filled with unquestionable severity.
"Lingxi, Lei Tingyi has already written me a letter, clearly stating that he wants to cancel the engagement. At this point, are you still going to continue to go against my will for him?"
When Yu Lingxi heard this, his heart was beating fast.
She knew her brother's character and ambitions well, and also understood the complex interests hidden behind this marriage.
But she knew more clearly that her feelings for Lei Tingyi were not just for the sake of family marriage.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage to stick to her idea.
"Brother, I know what you are thinking. You want to seize control of the Lei Xiao Sect through marriage. But for me, this marriage means much more than that. I am willing to marry Lei Tingyi because I really like him. I am not trying to help you seize power, nor am I sacrificing my own happiness for the benefit of the family."
She really likes Lei Tingyi and just wants to marry him sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Yu Lingyuan's face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly controlled his emotions and said coldly.
"Lingxi, you are too naive. In this world, feelings are the most unreliable things. Only power and interests are eternal. As a member of the Yu family, you should fight for the honor and interests of the family."
Even if Lei Tingyi takes down the Lei Xiao Sect, won’t he still be at their mercy?
When Yu Lingxi listened to her brother's words, an indescribable sadness surged in her heart.
She knew that she could not change her brother's mind, nor could she make him understand her feelings for Lei Tingyi.
But she still decided to fight for her own happiness.
"Brother, I admit that power and interests are important in this world. But for me, feelings are equally important. I cannot sacrifice my love and happiness for the benefit of my family. I hope you can understand me."
After Yu Lingxi finished speaking, he looked at Yu Lingyuan deeply, then turned and left the hall.
Yu Lingyuan was left alone there, with a gloomy face and complicated eyes.
He knew that his sister's persistence and stubbornness would bring more variables and challenges to this marriage.
But he also understood that he would never easily give up his control over the Lei Xiao Sect and his pursuit of family glory.
However, if you want to enter the Lei Xiao Sect, marriage is the best way.
