Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

Chapter 132: The General’s Pet (13)

"You were brought up by your family and have achieved such success, just to let you act on your own and abandon the family? How can you be worthy of our ancestors? Kneel here for three days and repent to them." Pei's father's face was full of anger. He looked at the man kneeling in front of the tablet with a look of disappointment. He had beaten and scolded him, and from now on, it was none of his business where this son went. He looked at Pei Sichen kneeling on the mat with his back straight and his expression unchanged, snorted, and left the ancestral hall.

Three days ago, after Pei Sichen had selected students for the Third Legion, the Star Lord issued a notice stating that Pei Sichen, son of the Pei family, was a loyal and virtuous man, capable of resisting foreign enemies with both wisdom and courage. Furthermore, Lian Qingyang, son of the Lian family, was also a talented individual, diligent in his studies and dedicated to his work. He granted a special marriage to the second son of the Pei and Lian families, choosing an auspicious date for the wedding. He then ordered General Pei to lead the Third Legion to garrison Levijue within a week of the wedding, with an unspecified return date.

As soon as the notice was issued, it exploded on Starnet. Shock, joy, jealousy and abuse flooded in, saying all kinds of things. Of course, the most shocked were the Pei family and the Lian family.

Lian's father directly video-called Big Brother Lian and said with a look of understanding, "I was wondering why the Star Lord suddenly video-called me a few days ago and asked me what I thought of the Pei kid. So this is what he had in mind. But how come I didn't know that Pei kid and Qingyang were so close?"

Brother Lian glanced at the person sitting across from him, looking at him ingratiatingly, and said unhappily, "Who knows what kind of magic potion that kid from the Pei family has fed him? He's trying so hard to get ahead of us. We in the Lian family can have anybody we want, but he's the only one who can do it."

Lian's mother, listening next to his father, sensed her son growing angrier as he spoke, so she quickly tried to soothe him and act as a peacemaker: "Don't take it out on your brother. Qingyang is a man of his own ideas. He's a strong-willed person, and he'll do anything to get what he wants. You're the eldest brother, so all you can do now is carefully examine Pei and make sure your brother doesn't get hurt."

Lian Qingyang quickly spoke up, "Hey, big brother, Mom is right. Now that the Star Lord has granted me the marriage, you can't change anything. You just need to know that I won't let myself be wronged."

Brother Lian ignored him, obviously still angry. He stood up and strode upstairs to the study. Liu Lian Qingyang sat in the living room and watched him disappear.

As soon as he closed the study door, Brother Lian's expression suddenly fell. He sighed and said sadly, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll go talk to the Star Lord."

Lian's father was silent for a moment before he said, "Since it was Qingyang who chose it, it must be good. Don't try to stop me. Not only will it hurt Qingyang's feelings, but it will also definitely make him resent you, and it will affect our brotherly relationship."

"But how can I explain this to my deceased uncle and aunt? They passed away because they saved me when Qingyang was a child. If Qingyang doesn't live a good life in the future, it will be useless even if I regret it." Brother Lian had a sad face and refused to give in.

There was no movement from Lian's parents. After a moment, they just said, "You're being a little too stubborn. Think about it carefully."

The video call ended, and Brother Lian rubbed his face with his hands before sighing again. He had originally supported Lian Qingyang in choosing his own major because he felt he could be a support for his younger brother. Previously, he had always avoided Lian Qingyang as much as possible out of guilt. Now, when he wanted to be nicer to his younger brother, he realized that his younger brother no longer needed him.

While he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. Brother Lian looked up at the door. Lian Qingyang half-opened the door and looked at him, smiling cautiously: "Brother..."

When Pei's father heard the news, he slammed the table and stood up to find the Star Lord to ask for clarification. He had just praised Qingyang a few words, so why did he force his son to get married? It would have been fine if he just wanted to get married, but he actually wanted to drive his son out of the planet!

Pei Sichen stopped Pei's father and told him frankly that he was the one who proposed the notice. He successfully transferred Pei's father's anger to him and immediately sent him to the ancestral hall to punish him with family rules.

However, Pei Sichen's stubbornness was just like his. He gritted his teeth and didn't say a word even after being beaten, which made Pei's mother feel distressed. He managed to coax him back, and then scolded Pei Sichen and left angrily.

At noon, Pei's mother was afraid that Pei Sichen would be hungry, so she asked Pei's father to send someone to eat first. As a result, Pei's father was too embarrassed to let Pei's mother go find someone, and Pei's mother just sat there and refused to eat.

When Pei's father was about to find the stairs to go down, the aunt of the family came over and said, "Sir, someone from the Lian family is here. Do you want to let him in?"

Before he could speak, Pei's mother, who was sulking beside him, spoke first: "Let him in."

After getting permission, Brother Lian walked in and politely greeted the two. "Uncle Pei, Aunt Qin, please forgive me for coming uninvited. I came here to tell you that my parents will be back tomorrow. I wanted to arrange a time for our two families to have dinner together and discuss my brother and Si Chen's marriage."

Upon hearing this, Pei's father widened his eyes and spoke bluntly after a long while: "You, the Lian family, are willing to let your child follow my unfilial son to that little broken planet?" He never thought of stopping their marriage. The Pei family has friendly relations, and Pei Sichen is not the only eligible heir.

What Pei's father least wanted was for his two children to be thrown directly onto a nearly deserted planet to survive. However, if the Pei and Lian families wanted to form an alliance through marriage, it seemed that this was the only result that would reassure the Star Lord. After all, they would be giving up family inheritance, and would not have descendants. Therefore, for the Pei and Lian families, the possibility of cooperation was almost zero.

Brother Lian frowned. He was of course reluctant, but Lian Qingyang had been talking to him for a long time in the study that morning before he reluctantly agreed. Now Father Pei was saying this, could it be that he was going to go back on his word? "Uncle Pei, what do you mean? First of all, this is a marriage granted by the Star Lord, it's hard to refuse. Secondly, I heard that it was Si Chen who asked for it himself, and now the whole internet knows about it. If you go back on your word, how will my little brother cope? Not to mention that the two of them are in love and in love with each other."

Mother Pei glanced at Father Pei, signaling him to shut up first. Then she looked at the eldest son of the Lian family and said in a gentle voice, "What are you talking about? Your Uncle Pei didn't mean that. We all agree with the two children's marriage. It's just that your Uncle Pei feels sorry for the children going to Levijue Star. Knowing that it was Si Chen who brought it up first, he couldn't help but feel a little angry."

"How about this, your parents come back tomorrow and we'll fix it up first. How about we make an appointment for the day after tomorrow at noon? I haven't seen Qingyang for a while, and I wonder if he still recognizes Aunt Qin."

Brother Lian's expression improved slightly, and he spoke gently to Mother Pei, "Aunt Qin has remained as beautiful as ever for twenty years. She hasn't changed at all. Qingyang will definitely remember you. In that case, I'll tell my parents when I get back. By the way, is Si Chen here?"

Mother Pei quickly said, "He's here. His father threw him into the ancestral hall and he's been kneeling there all morning. He hasn't come out yet. I'll go get him for you."

Brother Lian stood up and walked beside Mother Pei: "Aunt Qin and I will go together. I just happened to have something to do with Si Chen."

An hour later, Pei Sichen steadied his trembling legs after kneeling for so long, and stood on the stage where only two people were fighting. He looked across at the other side, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Big Brother, do you want to fight me?"

The final result was of course that Pei Sichen lost. If he defeated his future brother-in-law at this time, this person might not be his brother-in-law in the future.
