Peerless Sword God of the City

However, in everyone's eyes, Li Yi was nothing more than a good-for-nothing who had latched onto the Xie family and lived off women.

Everyone was wondering if Hui Shao would take the opportunity to retaliate against Li Yi, but things had been calm at school for a while, and it seemed that Hui Shao had given up on the idea of ​​retaliating against Li Yi. Even at school, Hui Shao was rarely seen. Many students who didn't like Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that Hui Shao has given up on the idea of ​​taking revenge on Li Yi. After all, the Xie family's daughter is not someone Hui Shao would dare to provoke or offend.

These past few days, Liu Xinyu has kept a very low profile in class, avoiding any trouble, and even taking a detour when he encounters Li Yi, which has made Li Yi happy to have some peace and quiet for a while.

During this time, besides going to some deserted places to cultivate, Li Yi was also guiding Long You in cultivating the Five Elements Connected Body Technique, which enabled Long You to successfully touch the threshold of internal strength.

Li Yi believed that it wouldn't take long for Long You to break through to the level of internal strength; it would be a natural progression.

During the period after the end-of-term party, Li Yi's life was simple and peaceful.

The final exams for the previous semester at Qinghe University arrived as scheduled.

After finishing their final exams, Qinghe University finally ushered in a vacation that lasted for more than a month.

……

……

Tianhua Residential Area, Xie Family Living Room.

The Xie family's living room was elegant and classic, with two rows of armchairs arranged in the antique-style hall, just like a grand mansion from the Republican era.

On two rows of armchairs, a dozen or so people sat from the head of the table downwards.

Those who are sitting here are all direct relatives of the Xie family, and all of them hold high positions in Tianhua Group.

Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man nearing fifty, dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit. However, at this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to have some anger on his face because of something.

As the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, an aura of authority emanated from him, making the atmosphere in the Xie family's hall extremely oppressive.

This man was none other than Xie Taihua, the chairman of Tianhua Group, one of the "Four Elders of Qinghe," and the head of the Xie family.

Seated on the two rows of armchairs were Xie Feier's brother Xie Jun, her second uncle Xie Taizhong, her second aunt Su, her cousins, and the housekeeper Huang Cheng, among others.

"Fei'er, what's so great about that poor kid Li Yi that makes you so infatuated with him? You even disobey your father for him!!" Xie Jun, dressed in a light gray British-style suit, scolded Xie Fei'er, looking at her with a disappointed expression.

“Yes, Feifei, that boy has nothing. If you marry him, your life will be miserable.” Xie Fei’er’s second aunt, Madam Su, also shook her head.

“Cousin, that poor boy really doesn’t deserve your love,” Xie Feier’s cousin, Xie Kun, also expressed his opposition.

"Brother, Second Aunt, Brother Kun, Brother Li Yi may not be anything special now, but if you give him a chance, he will definitely impress you in the future," Xie Feier said excitedly as she saw everyone opposing her.

“Feifei, they’re right. You need to know that you are the daughter of the Xie family, the little princess of Tianhua Group. Anyone who can marry you, even if not from a similar social class, must at least be a leading figure among the younger generation in Qinghe. But Li Yi is just a poor college student; he’s far from qualified.” Xie Fei’s second uncle, Xie Taizhong, sighed and advised her as he looked at Xie Fei’er’s stubbornness.

"Second Uncle, do you think so too?" Xie Feier looked at her second uncle, who usually doted on her the most, her eyes slightly red.

Xie Feier thought that since he had taken the initiative to bring up the matter with Li Yi today, half of her family would support her. However, to her despair, not a single one of her relatives was willing to support her or believe in her.

Without exception, all voices opposed his relationship with Li Yi.

This made her very sad and disappointed.

"Dad, can't you just do what your daughter wants this once?" Xie Fei looked up at the man who would ultimately decide whether she could be with Li Yi, and pleaded desperately.

"All right."

Xie Taihua's face darkened as he listened to Xie Feier's words: "I will not agree to this."

"Dad, are you really willing to let your daughter marry someone I don't like?" Xie Feier asked Xie Taihua, fighting back tears.

Xie Taihua's face was ashen as he coldly looked at Xie Feier and said, "Your mother died early, and you are the apple of my eye. How could I bear to let you be unhappy in the future? But if you marry a poor boy on a whim now, how am I supposed to explain it to your deceased mother?"

Xie Feier bit her lip slightly, looked at her father and shook her head, saying aggrievedly, "Dad, Feier has always felt that you are not a feudal person and would support your daughter in pursuing her own happiness, but you didn't today."

"Marriage is a major life event, and it has always been decided by parents. Li Yi is not qualified to be my son-in-law, Xie Taihua, whether in terms of family background or academic performance. You and him are really not suitable." Xie Taihua looked at Xie Feier's stubborn appearance and was already a little angry.

"Dad, please give Brother Li Yi a chance!!!" Xie Feier pleaded desperately.

Xie Taihua said with a stern face, "Although I don't know how that boy managed to win my daughter's heart, he is far from qualified to marry my daughter."

"Dad!" Xie Feier's tears fell like raindrops.

"Alright, that's enough! I will never agree to this, no matter what." Xie Taihua made his final decision.

Xie Feier's eyes were filled with tears as she looked helplessly at her father.

“From childhood to adulthood, I have lived the life trajectory you planned for me.”

“You told me not to apply to Qinghe University, and I did. You told me to study at a university in the United States, and I did. You told me to transfer to Qinghe University to prepare for applying to a domestic academic college, and I did. I’ve done whatever you asked me to do.”

“However, please forgive me, but I cannot listen to you on this matter.” Xie Feier’s eyes were full of stubbornness.

Xie Taihua became even angrier upon hearing Xie Feier's rebellious words.

His usually well-behaved little daughter actually argued with him for the sake of a stranger and a poor boy!

“From today onwards, you are forbidden from having any further contact with that Li Yi. If you do, don’t blame me for breaking that kid’s legs,” Xie Taihua said in a deep voice, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Dad, how could you do this?!"

Xie Feier's expression changed drastically, then her eyes became even more resolute: "If you do anything to hurt Brother Li Yi, Dad, I'll kill myself."

After saying that, Xie Feier ran out of the hall without looking back, tears streaming down her face.

"What kind of behavior is this?!" Xie Taihua slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily as he watched Xie Feier run away.

"Brother, calm down. It's normal for a child to have his own ideas during his rebellious phase," Xie Feier's second uncle, Xie Taizhong, stepped forward to persuade her.

“Once that kid gradually realizes the gap between him and our Xie family, he might give up on his own,” Xie Feier’s cousin chimed in.

"Yes, Dad, I'll find a chance to let that kid know the difference between us and the Xie family, so he'll back down on his own. Then my sister won't blame us." Xie Jun stepped forward to comfort him.

In his eyes, once Li Yi truly realized the gap between him and the Xie family, what confidence would he have to pursue the Xie family's daughter?

After all, toads and swans belong to two different worlds.

Xie Taihua pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
