Chapter 756

Qin Qin Ningshuang looked at Qin Xiaoxiao and whispered: "If I say it, you might feel uncomfortable..."

"If you don't say it, I'll feel even more uncomfortable!" Qin Xiaoxiao muttered. "Anyway, the sooner I die, the sooner I'll be reborn; I can still accept reality!"

"The Qingluan Legion has a General Su who performed bravely in the battle against the Shenfeng Kingdom a while ago and was commended by His Majesty!"

"How old is he? What does he look like?"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care about national affairs.

Qin Qin Ningshuang hesitated for a moment, and seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's "if you don't tell me, I'll be mad at you" expression, she whispered: "Actually, he's only less than three hundred years old..."

"Three hundred years old?"

"But he is an Emperor-level Beast Tamer!" Qin Qin Ningshuang said. "Is a three-hundred-year-old Emperor-level Beast Tamer strange?"

"If you were asked to marry a three-hundred-year-old old man, would you be willing?"

"Uh... it's not me!"

Qin Xiaoxiao hung her head, feeling that her friendship with Qin Qin Ningshuang was over.

The next day, before Qin Xiaoxiao had even gotten up, she heard her mother calling her outside.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiaoxiao, get up quickly, His Majesty has sent someone to pick you up!"

"Oh!"

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly rolled out of bed and got dressed, and her mother, Yun Ji, also ran in to help, combing Qin Xiaoxiao's hair.

"Be respectful when you see His Majesty, and pay attention to your understanding!"

"Hmm!"

"Don't be too sad, this is fate. Even if the other party is relatively old, you must be respectful. A three-hundred-year-old Emperor-level Beast Tamer actually isn't that old; he certainly lives much longer than your mother..."

"Oh!"

Qin Xiaoxiao said listlessly.

After finishing her grooming, Qin Xiaoxiao followed her mother out of the bedroom and into the hall.

In the hall, her father was respectfully accompanying a Beast Tamer wearing the official uniform of a Qingluan Guard.

Even if they were royal, there were millions of royals in Qingluan City, but the Qingluan Guards were the Emperor's bodyguards and the people the Emperor trusted most.

"Is this Qin Xiaoxiao?"

Xiaoxiao's father hurriedly said: "Xiaoxiao, what are you standing there for? Hurry and greet Lord Chen!"

"Don't be so fierce to the child!"

"Lord Chen is right, I was too impatient!"

Chen Huan turned and said kindly to Qin Xiaoxiao: "Qin Xiaoxiao, come with me, His Majesty and the Empress want to see you."

"Hmm!"

Halfway there, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Chen Huan: "Is it because of my marriage?"

"Yes!" Chen Huan nodded. "It is because of this matter."

Qin Xiaoxiao was going to marry Su Yang, so even Chen Huan didn't dare to offend this girl, let alone put on airs in front of her.

Qin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, but in the end, she didn't have the courage to continue asking.

Entering the palace, Qin Xiaoxiao became increasingly nervous. Entering the Imperial Garden and rounding the rockery, she saw the Qingluan Emperor and the Empress in a waterside pavilion.

She hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, Empress!"

Qin Qin Longyun smiled: "No need to call me Your Majesty, call me Great-grandfather; that is your Great-grandmother!"

"Greetings, Great-grandfather, Great-grandmother!"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to raise her head.

"Raise your head!"

Qin Xiaoxiao raised her head cautiously, as if raising it too quickly would offend Qin Qin Longyun and Gong Qin.

After raising her head, Qin Xiaoxiao saw Su Yang sitting opposite Qin Qin Longyun, and Xia Na standing behind Su Yang.

Qin Xiaoxiao tried hard to find that white-bearded grandfather in the pavilion, but couldn't find anyone.

Not here?

This was her first reaction.

At this moment, she also recognized Su Yang, who had jumped onto the viewing platform at the arena, but she didn't think much of it; she only cared about her marriage now.

"Xiaoxiao, come sit here!"

Gong Qin beckoned to Qin Xiaoxiao.

In the pavilion, there was only one square table and four chairs, occupied by Qin Qin Longyun, Gong Qin, and Su Yang.

Only one chair remained, opposite Gong Qin, next to Qin Qin Longyun.

Qin Xiaoxiao stared at that chair, and after confirming that it was the only chair around, she still stood there, not daring to move.

"Xiaoxiao, come sit!"

Qin Qin Longyun pointed to the empty chair.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to disobey Qin Qin Longyun's order. She walked mechanically to the chair and sat down slowly.

She didn't dare to sit down completely, only sitting on the edge of the chair, ready to leave at any time.

Qin Qin Longyun tried to look kind: "Xiaoxiao, don't be nervous. Do you know why I called you here?"

"Is it about the marriage?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm!"

After saying "Hmm," Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't keep her face straight anymore, and her beautiful little face wrinkled like a bitter melon.

"Are you dissatisfied with the marriage?"

Qin Qin Longyun frowned.

He looked at his wife—didn't they say Qin Xiaoxiao had agreed?

"Satisfied!"

Qin Xiaoxiao tried hard to squeeze a smile onto her face, but this only made her look awkward and funny.

Seeming to notice something, Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at them.

Xia Na, standing behind Su Yang, lowered her head and covered her mouth.

Qin Qin Longyun and Gong Qin were both shrewd; how could they not see Qin Xiaoxiao's true thoughts?

Even Su Yang sighed and looked at the vast water outside the pavilion.

In this plot, he looked like a bully forcing a girl to marry him...

Qin Qin Longyun's expression darkened.

He didn't expect his subordinates to be unable to handle even these small matters.

Gong Qin, sitting opposite Qin Qin Longyun, was also a bit embarrassed.

She had personally told Qin Qin Longyun yesterday that Qin Xiaoxiao was willing to marry!

Even if she was angry, Gong Qin didn't lose her temper immediately.

Su Yang was here; if she lost her temper, Su Yang might have opinions!

She said in as gentle a voice as possible: "Xiaoxiao, tell Great-grandmother, what is wrong with you? Didn't your Great-grandfather ask you yesterday, and didn't you say you had no objections then?"

"Yesterday..."

Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

"Tell the truth!" Gong Qin glanced at Su Yang and found that Su Yang wasn't angry, so she felt a little relieved. Remembering what Su Yang had said to her yesterday, she continued: "Tell the truth, what is going on? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me."

As she spoke, gentle and obscure spiritual energy rippled in the pavilion.

Gong Qin had made a move.

But Su Yang and the others didn't say anything.

The skill Gong Qin used was more like a light hypnosis, making it easy for people to speak their true thoughts, with guidance.

"Really?"

"Of course, I am your Great-grandmother!"

Xiaoxiao still spoke her true thoughts; she was no match for Gong Qin at all, and simply revealed her heart: "I don't want to marry General Su!"

"Why!"
