Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Deng Kexin glanced at Li Lan casually before speaking to Chen Jinhua.

Chen Jinhua nodded, then stepped forward, knocked on the conference room door, and went inside to report the situation.

Then, the door was opened completely, and three old men rushed out.

"You're Li Lan?"

One of the elderly men, dressed in a white training uniform, walked up to Li Lan, looked at him, and patted him on the shoulder with great admiration, saying:

"Excellent, excellent, a truly handsome man!"

"Brother Deng, you can't really be called a talent yet, can you?" But a rather plump old man beside him spoke up, shaking his head and saying:

"He's over forty and only at the second level of Qi Refining. If he can be considered a talent, then talent is too cheap!"

Upon hearing this, many people in the hall burst into laughter.

Li Guinong and Yun Luojin both stood beside their son. Yun Luojin said, "Elder Gu, whether my son is talented or not is probably not for you to judge."

She has always been gentle and kind, but she can't bear to see her son suffer even the slightest grievance!

This fat old man is Gu Lianxi's grandfather, Gu Ruoxu, one of the highest-ranking elders among the Daoists!

"In any case, Li Lan does not meet our requirements."

At this moment, the third elder spoke up, calmly saying, "This boy's aptitude is lacking, and he is too old. Brother Song, Yu Su is a favored daughter of heaven. Even putting aside the difference in their aptitudes, she now possesses the spirit of the Great Yu Cauldron. How can we let her be sacrificed?!"

"We absolutely disagree!"

This elder's name is Jiang Zhigong, and he is also one of the key figures.

Clearly, within the entire Fudaozhe Group, Elder Deng is the only one who still insists on that marriage agreement!

Elder Deng simply looked at Li Lan, shook his head, and said, "How could the Deng family break its promise? Yu Su is my granddaughter. This matter is a family affair of the Deng family. Fellow Daoists, there's no need for you to say anything more!"

His attitude was absolutely firm!

"After all these years, you're still so stubborn! Do you really want to push Yu Su into a fire pit?"

At this moment, Deng Kexin couldn't help but stand up, and she said angrily:

“You don’t only have one granddaughter. Yu Su carries a piece of your Deng family’s blood, and so does Xia Qingzhu! If you want to marry, let Xia Qingzhu marry. They’re a perfect match, one a good-for-nothing and the other a mute. Why should they ruin my daughter?”

She was so angry that she no longer cared about being polite and spoke with barbs.

Elder Deng's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table, saying, "What do you know?!"

He glared at his daughter and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think that Yu Su's marriage to Li Lan is Li Lan marrying above her station?"

"Wrong, it's our Deng family that's using someone else's influence!"

"It was clearly stated in the marriage agreement of our ancestors that the son of the Li family would rise to prominence and that the marriage agreement must be fulfilled when the world is in great turmoil; otherwise, the Deng family will be destroyed and the world will suffer a great calamity!"

"If Qingzhu weren't born unable to cultivate and unable to keep her promise, given your arrogance, how could I allow your daughter to defile the son of the Li family? Do you really think Yusu is worthy of Li Lan?!"

He was clearly furious; his words were filled with anger, almost like a rebuke!

The people in the room were all extremely surprised.

Elder Deng had always been tight-lipped about this marriage, only revealing some key information today. Even Deng Kexin, Jiang Zhigong, and others were hearing about it for the first time.

But is the Deng family taking advantage of the Li family's influence?

Will the son of the Li family rise to great heights?

But where does this come from?

"Brother Deng, I think there might be some errors in this marriage agreement..."

Gu Ruoxu shook his head and said, "Li Lan is over forty years old and only has the cultivation of the second level of Qi Refining. His aptitude is also ordinary. What makes you think he is destined for greatness? Moreover, are you saying that this boy can actually influence the rise and fall of the world? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

Jiang Zhigong immediately added, "That's right, Brother Deng, your ancestor's prophecy is no longer accurate, so this marriage agreement is obviously invalid!"

Nobody believes it.

Cheng Yusu stood up and gritted her teeth, saying, "I only need one hand to suppress him now, not to mention that with the help of the Great Yu Cauldron in the future, I will surely reach the pinnacle of humanity. At that time, when he looks up to me, it will be like an ant looking at the blue sky!"
