I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Mingchuan was stunned. "You tell me first and I'll think about it."

Lu Qiu nodded.

"Your Third Senior Sister must be referring to the rare opening of Kunlun Mountain's gates. I originally thought this opportunity wasn't particularly suitable for you right now, so I didn't plan to tell you. I planned to wait until after the New Year to help you think of other options."

"But since she mentioned it, it must be useful."

"The gates of Kunlun Mountain open every seven years, inviting those with predestined relationships to compete. The winner will not only become a disciple of Kunlun Mountain, but will also be able to enter the secret realm of Kunlun Mountain and gain unique opportunities."

Mingchuan's eyebrows twitched. Seeing him like this, Lu Qiu smiled and said, "Sounds familiar, doesn't it? The Fengxue Sect and Zhentian Tower at that time were modeled after Kunlun Mountain."

"But Kunlun Mountain is a legitimate sect. Many people would beg for such an opportunity. Just being able to find the entrance to the mountain is already extraordinary."

"If you want, you can prepare in advance. The gate to Kunlun Mountain will open in about ten days. The gate will be open for two days. If you can step through the gate of Kunlun Mountain, you will definitely reach heaven in one step!"

Mingchuan understood.

No wonder Lu Qiu didn’t say it before.

Is this because they thought he had been busy and hard all year, so they wanted to keep the news a secret so that he could go home for the New Year and reunite with his family?

Live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed?

Don’t say it, when Mingchuan thought about it this way, he really felt a little sorry for Leng Xi who had been alone all this time.

After all, it was his first wife who got the marriage certificate, and she never really cared about him.

But improving his strength is the most important thing right now... He can only feel sorry for Leng Xi again.

Mingchuan mused, "I see. Go ahead. I'll go back and prepare first, and you can come with me then."

Lu Qiu smiled and shook his head: "I won't go. This is an opportunity for you alone. I can only take you to the foot of the mountain."

Mingchuan was stunned. He even wanted to get some benefits from this old man.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Lu."

"No problem."

After the two of them finished talking, Mingchuan was about to get busy and go talk to the king, but unexpectedly, his cell phone started buzzing at this moment.

The caller was from an unfamiliar number.

Mingchuan decisively pressed the hang-up button to avoid a harassing call.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang again and a text message came in at the same time.

[This is Situ Xuan, please answer the phone.]

Mingchuan:?

Why are they calling? Aren't they both about to break up?

Mingchuan frowned in confusion and picked up the phone: "Hello, Miss Situ."

Situ Xuan's pleasant voice came from the other end: "Mr. Ming, I'm sorry to bother you. Last time I proposed an engagement, I need you to come to my house. What time would be convenient for you?"

Mingchuan's eyebrows were twitching.

It doesn't feel like anything good.

Why did she suddenly ask him to go to Situ's house? Could it be that her family was going to cause trouble again?

Now time is pressing, Mingchuan was about to refuse and ignore her, but suddenly he remembered that this woman was a favorite of the king!

The corners of his mouth twitched and he could only respond.

"Tomorrow, it's getting late. I'll come early tomorrow morning."

Situ Xuan was silent.

"Hello?" Mingchuan called out, thinking that the caller had hung up. He called out to Situ Xuan before she responded.

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

After the call was hung up, Mingchuan was confused, while Situ Xuan was in deep silence.

The huge house was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Everyone had a tense and gloomy face.

Situ Xuan deliberately ignored it and remained calm.

"I've already called. Mingchuan will tell you in person tomorrow. You don't have to put on such a face."

After she finished speaking, Situ Xuan stood up and was about to go upstairs when a loud and angry voice called out to her from behind.

"Situ Xuan!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Situ Xuan turned around and stood still.

Her father was sitting in a wheelchair wearing a light coat, his eyes were red, and he was coughing non-stop, as if he was about to cough up blood from his throat.

Situ Xuan's mother, who was standing next to him, repeatedly patted his back and scolded him, "Xuan'er, your father is in such poor health now, why do you have to go against him?"

Situ Xuan's face was indifferent: "I didn't."

"Not yet?!" Her father slammed the table, looking at her with bloodshot eyes: "Situ Xuan, don't think that just because you become the Imperial Master, you're done. As a woman, how long can you stay in power? Our Situ family needs an opportunity to never decline. The King now values ​​Mingchuan, why do you insist on distancing yourself from Mingchuan? "

Situ Xuan's father became more and more excited as he spoke, his breathing became rapid, and he covered his heaving chest and looked at Situ Xuan with resentful eyes.

Situ Xuan felt a chill in her heart, not understanding why he, as her father, would look at her in such a way.

But she didn't show any sign of cowardice.

"Dad, I'm the only one in the Situ family now. I have the final say on what I want to do. If you feel dissatisfied, then go talk to the king directly."

After Situ Xuan finished speaking, she no longer cared about her father who was trembling with anger behind her, and left decisively.

Her father's cough became louder and louder, and a mouthful of old blood could not be contained and suddenly gushed out of his mouth, staining his mouth red.

His mother cried out in panic, quickly stood up and grabbed a few pieces of paper to wipe him, and the servants around her also hurriedly surrounded him.

"You old man, why do you have to be so excited? Didn't Xuan'er say that Mingchuan would come over to talk to you in detail tomorrow? Why are you doing this!"

Situ's father raised his tired eyelids, his eyes were like dead fish eyes, staring at people in a frightening way.

"Talk in detail? She's already made up her mind. She's here to talk in detail to break off the engagement!"

It’s no wonder that Situ Xuan’s father was so angry.

The Situ family used to be one of the strong ones who fought for the king and protected him.

But once Situ Xuan was injured, she became disabled for life and could no longer stand on her legs...

The Situ family hasn't given birth to a son in all these years, not even an illegitimate child!

Situ Xuan's cousins ​​are all useless and can't play any role.

There is only one gifted girl like Situ Xuan.

The Situ family did not support her in any way, but she actually relied on her own strength to become a popular national teacher around the king!

No matter how many times foreign enemies invaded openly or secretly, she was the one who personally showed up with her majestic face to intimidate others!

Originally, the Situ family had always planned to ignore her and let her fend for herself.

Unexpectedly, Situ Xuan now ignores them and wants to let them fend for themselves!

Is the Situ family's reputation really going to be ruined by this girl?!

Situ Xuan's father had another mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

"Okay, old man, stop it. What if Mingchuan doesn't want to cancel the engagement?"

"Relax, you can repeat what you said when he comes."

Situ Xuan's mother was displeased, and she felt helpless watching the father and daughter competing with each other.
