Chapter 1170: Don't Call Me Father

Marriage contract?

Everyone in the hall changed their expressions, especially Bai Cailing, who instantly widened her watery eyes, full of astonishment and disbelief.

She never expected that this kind and amiable old man would actually put forward such a condition, actually wanting her to fulfill the marriage contract with Xu Que. The problem was that this marriage contract was a scam from the beginning!

"Bang!"

Almost at the same time, a loud noise came.

Yi Zhong, the young prodigy of the Shennong Clan, was furious, smashed the table with one palm, stood up abruptly, and stared at Xu Que with killing intent.

He had wanted Xu Que to set conditions, but he didn't expect this "old guy" to put forward such a condition. This was equivalent to pushing Bai Cailing into someone else's fire pit.

"Old man, don't go too far!" Yi Zhong gritted his teeth and said angrily, but his eyes were already a bit strange. He also saw that there was indeed Bai Cailing's signature on the marriage contract, and also her aura, which showed that the marriage contract was not fake!

"Sigh, forget it, forget it. It seems that I won't be able to see my son's happy family before I die!" Xu Que saw this situation and immediately shook his head and sighed, turning around with a look of desolation, "Everyone, I've disturbed you for the past two days, this old man should leave!"

After speaking, he didn't hesitate to lean on his cane and step out step by step.

"Elder Xu, wait a minute!" Bai Cailing couldn't sit still immediately, hurriedly shouting: "Elder Xu, listen to my explanation, I don't have that kind of relationship with Xu Que. We only met by chance back then, and later he played a joke on me, which led to such a marriage contract. Or let's wait until we find Xu Que and let him explain it to you, then you will understand!"

"This marriage contract is a joke?" Xu Que turned around, looking at Bai Cailing with burning eyes on his aged face.

Bai Cailing's heart skipped a beat, secretly saying it was not good. Obviously, she also knew that marriage was a major event, incomparably solemn and sacred, but she actually said that this marriage contract was a joke in front of this old man. Although it was the truth, it was still a bit disrespectful.

"Elder Xu, listen to me, this..." Bai Cailing hurriedly opened her mouth, wanting to continue explaining, not hoping to offend this old man who could save the Pantao Garden.

"No need!" Xu Que waved his hand, his expression already a bit serious, "Saintess Bai, I know my Xu Que has many shortcomings!"

Bai Cailing smiled bitterly slightly. Xu Que didn't just have many shortcomings; it seemed that the guy already had no advantages!

"But you don't have to be so self-deprecating, don't feel that you are not worthy of him. In this old man's eyes, you two are still very well-matched!" At this time, Xu Que added.

As soon as these words fell, Bai Cailing was instantly dumbfounded, and everyone in the hall was also stunned.

Don't have to be self-deprecating?

Don't feel that you are not worthy of him?

What kind of words are these?

The dignified Saintess of Yaochi, would she not be worthy of that so-called Gang Leader of the Zha Tian Bang? This Xu Que's father was also too honey-confident!

"Alright!"

At this time, Deacon Lin, the oldest, finally opened her mouth.

In the absence of the Holy Mother, Deacon Lin also had quite a bit of say in Yaochi. In terms of status, she couldn't compare to Bai Cailing, but her qualifications were very deep, and even Bai Cailing would listen to her, so at this moment, the only one who could stand up and control the situation was her.

"Elder Xu, we can consider your conditions, but as the Saintess just said, this marriage contract might have other hidden feelings, and marriage is a major event, so it's not easy for us elders to intervene. Not to mention that Xu Que is not here now, why not wait until we find Xu Que, and then listen to his meaning, how about it?" Deacon Lin played a Tai Chi, tactfully delaying this matter.

And she didn't promise that she would agree to this marriage once Xu Que was found, only saying that she would consider it, but the premise was that Xu Que had to be found.

Bai Cailing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, find Xu Que first. Elder Xu, when was the last time you heard news about him?"

"When I was young!" Xu Que replied without thinking.

Everyone's mouth twitched instantly. When you were young? How many years ago was that, for heaven's sake?

At this moment, Xu Que spoke again: "Actually, finding him is not difficult. I have a way to contact him; no matter where we are, we can communicate at any time. But this method is somewhat difficult and not always successful!"

"Oh? Elder Xu, why don't you tell us about it?" Bai Cailing immediately perked up.

She was now also anxious to find Xu Que and teach that guy a lesson, making him cancel the marriage contract.

Xu Que immediately put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and said inscrutably: "This method is the legendary 'Father-Son Heart-to-Heart Son-Possession Technique'!"

Father-Son Heart-to-Heart Son-Possession Technique? What kind of technique is this? We've never even heard of it!

Everyone was bewildered. Yi Zhong of the Shennong Clan had long since been sullen to the extreme, but he didn't speak, keeping a cold stare on Xu Que, wishing he could slap him to death. But this was Yaochi; no matter how angry Yi Zhong was, he dared not actually kill Xu Que, as the Peach Garden in Yaochi still depended on him to be saved.

Therefore, hearing Xu Que's so-called great technique, he could only sneer mockingly: "Playing god and acting like a ghost!"

Xu Que immediately nodded: "Right, this little brother has a good eye. Actually, that method is somewhat similar to what the common folk call playing god and acting like a ghost. It just requires finding a young man whose looks are similar to my son's, and letting my son's soul possess him, so that I can contact him!"

Soul possession?

The people present were still listening in a daze, having never heard of such a method, and found it truly hard to understand.

"This is a secret technique that requires me to treat a young man as my son and then call out to him with a father's heart. My son Xu Que and I are father and son, heart-to-heart; he will definitely be able to hear my call, and his soul will surely descend, because we have succeeded before!" At this moment, Xu Que began to explain solemnly again.

"I understand. This is an emotional bond between father and son, which can only be achieved through shared bloodline. It should be similar to the soul protection the Holy Mother provides me," Bai Cailing said immediately.

She successfully interpreted this as soul protection. After all, as a Saintess, besides having guardians follow her when she went out, the Holy Mother would also leave a trace of soul consciousness on her. Once Bai Cailing encountered a great crisis, the Yaochi Holy Mother's soul would appear, condensing into an avatar to save her.

When everyone heard Bai Cailing say this, they immediately understood and nodded one after another.

Yi Zhong, who also possessed soul protection from his elders, understood that the method Xu Que mentioned was also possible. After all, there were millions of techniques in the world, and the method Xu Que mentioned was similar to soul protection, so it was indeed feasible.

"Not bad, that's exactly it!" Xu Que also smiled and nodded, feeling delighted inside. He had just been spouting nonsense, and he hadn't expected Bai Cailing to provide a perfect assist.

"Since there is a way, Elder Xu, please feel free to try. If you can find Xu Que, this matter can be resolved!" Deacon Lin pondered for a moment and said.

Xu Que shook his head: "It won't work. I just said, this method is very difficult. I must find a young man whose looks are similar to my son's. My son is so handsome that it's very hard to find anyone in this world who can compare to him!"

"..." Everyone present had black lines on their heads.

After all, except for Bai Cailing, no one present had seen Xu Que. Just based on Xu Que's words, it was really hard to convince people. Moreover, no matter how handsome or good-looking a person is, there's a limit. How could he say that no one in the world could compare to him?

"Elder Xu, right? Then what do you think of me?" At this moment, Yi Zhong suddenly stepped out and asked with a faint smile.

He was very confident in his appearance.

Xu Que glanced at him indifferently and shook his head: "Ugly!"

"You..." The smile on Yi Zhong's face stiffened instantly and turned into anger.

Bai Cailing hurriedly said: "Elder Xu, Fellow Daoist Yi is an outstanding prodigy of the Shennong Clan. Even in our Tianxiang Immortal Domain, it is hard to find anyone who can compare to him. Why not let Fellow Daoist Yi try?"

She had seen Xu Que. Although Xu Que did have a good-looking face, he couldn't be called invincible in the world. It was just that the guy had a roguish air that others didn't have, a unique temperament not seen in countless divine sons.

Moreover, the situation was urgent, and Yaochi had no intention of spending great effort in the Tianxiang Immortal Domain to find someone good-looking. After all, as a divine son candidate, Yi Zhong's foundation was also good. It was estimated that the best-looking man in the Tianxiang Immortal Domain was about the same as Yi Zhong. Besides, Yi Zhong was now volunteering, so how could the people of Yaochi refuse?

"Sigh, alright!" Xu Que also nodded with a look of difficulty: "We can only treat a dead horse as a living horse!"

"..." Yi Zhong's mouth twitched violently, his fists clenched, very annoyed.

If it weren't to scam Xu Que, he wouldn't have endured such humiliation.

In fact, he had already thought of a way. Since it was a soul possession, he could just play along, pretend that Xu Que's soul had possessed him, and then say that the marriage contract was just a joke, taking the opportunity to cancel it, and everything would be resolved.

"Come on!" Yi Zhong stared fiercely at Xu Que, stood in place, and said in a deep voice.

"Hm, then I'm starting!" Xu Que also nodded in cooperation, walked in front of Yi Zhong, closed his eyes slightly, and his soul power surged out.

Then, he condensed his fingers, pinched a wisp of Immortal Yuan to circle in front of Yi Zhong, and followed by touching Yi Zhong's head with one hand, calling out: "Son! Son! Son..."

"Hey, son, possess me quickly!" Suddenly, Xu Que opened his eyes and shouted loudly.

Yi Zhong sneered in his heart, and at the same time, he opened his eyes, looked at Xu Que, and shouted excitedly: "Father!"

The next moment, he looked at the marriage contract in Xu Que's hand, preparing to say that the marriage contract was just a joke.

However, before the words could be uttered, a huge fist suddenly magnified before his eyes.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Xu Que smashed a fist fiercely onto Yi Zhong's face and shouted angrily: "Rebellious son, don't call me father, I don't have an unfilial son like you! You've been outside for so long and haven't come back to see me. Do you still have the face to call me father? Get out, get out!"

After speaking, Xu Que raised his fist again and gave Yi Zhong a heavy beating!
