Chapter 628: My Name is Xu Que!

In an instant, Xu Que's voice echoed throughout the entire arena!

Everyone turned to look at Xu Que, their expressions incredibly strange, especially the members of the Li family, whose eyes all fixed firmly on Xu Que!

"Presumptuous! Who are you, daring to burst into our Bliss Sect's Great Hall and spout such nonsense!" At this moment, a Bliss Sect Elder's face darkened, and he shouted a rebuke.

Xu Que stared directly back and said, "I don't care; anyway, I do not agree to this marriage!"

The crowd fell silent once again in an instant, while the Bliss Sect Elders looked at each other in confusion, seemingly asking one another about Xu Que's origins!

However, there was no result; none of the Elders present knew Xu Que, and those who had seen him outside Buried Immortal Valley back then were not present today!

The corners of Liu Jingning's mouth twitched slightly; she nearly wanted to rush over and beat Xu Que up severely!

She hurriedly moved her crimson lips slightly and used Sound Transmission to tell Xu Que, "Little Que Que, can you stop talking nonsense? I came here to demand something back, not to arrange any marriage!"

What?

Not here to arrange a marriage?

This... this is fucking awkward!

Xu Que immediately widened his eyes, touched the tip of his nose, and then smiled sheepishly at the crowd: "Ahem, sorry about that, I walked onto the wrong set; you all continue chatting, no need to mind me!"

Having said this, he turned around and was about to walk out of the Great Hall to avoid the awkward spotlight!

"Wait!"

Suddenly, the red-robed elder Li Tangshan spoke up abruptly, calling Xu Que to a halt, and smiled faintly: "Young Friend, actually you were not wrong; our Li family did indeed come here today to propose a marriage, so may I ask why you disagree?"

What?

Damn it, they really are here to propose marriage? Did I fucking fall right into their trap?

Xu Que forcibly halted his steps and slowly turned around!

Liu Jingning also wore a look of astonishment, clearly having never expected such a situation to arise, and what shocked her even more was that Xu Que had actually managed to predict the future!

"Wait, let's make this clear first; who exactly are you trying to propose marriage to?" Xu Que asked aloud.

He felt it necessary to ask clearly; if it wasn't a proposal to Liu Jingning, then his statement of disagreement would become truly awkward!

"Naturally, it is to Niece Jing Ning!" Li Tangshan smiled faintly.

Immediately, his gaze also shifted toward Liu Jingning, and he said with a smile: "Back then, I lent a Dharma Artifact to your father, and I told him there was no need to return it; instead, it would serve as a betrothal gift in the future!

Alas, I never expected him to die young; now that our Li family's young master has grown into adulthood, it is time for him to find a Dao Companion, so the first person I thought of was you, Niece Jing Ning; the two of you are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and if you could come together, it would surely become a beautiful story in the Cultivation World!"

Hearing this, Xu Que's mouth corner twitched instantly; he looked at Liu Jingning and used Sound Transmission to say, "Miss, look, this is what you called 'coming to demand something back'? They've come directly to demand a person!"

Liu Jingning herself was stunned; she had never heard her father mention this matter, and just as she was about to say something, a certain thought suddenly arose in her mind; a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she asked with a half-smile: "Little Que Que, even if they are here to propose marriage, on what grounds do you disagree?"

"On what grounds can't I disagree?" Xu Que stared and retorted.

Does this even need to be said?

You are so beautiful, and you flirt with this King of Acting Cool every day; now that you've finished flirting, you deny any account? No way!

"That's hard to say; by generation, you are at best a junior, so you have no qualification to disagree! If we go by other relationships, it seems there is nothing special between us!" Liu Jingning replied with a hint of amusement.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Que immediately froze, "Nothing special between us? Are you sure?"

In his view, the relationship between the two should exist in a very mysterious state; on Earth, it could be described as "ambiguous"!

Roughly speaking, it was more than friends, but not yet lovers!

This state could be said to be the most beautiful period, one that could only be understood intuitively but not expressed in words!

Yet now Liu Jingning actually claimed there was nothing special between them; it was like a basin of ice water poured straight over Xu Que's head, instantly making him doubt whether he had been thinking too much unilaterally!

"Yes, could it be that you think we still have some special relationship?" Liu Jingning blinked, moved her crimson lips lightly to transmit sound to him, completely unaware of the changes occurring in Xu Que's heart at this moment!

In fact, she was also clear that the current state of her relationship with Xu Que was somewhat mysterious, so she had a sudden inspiration, wanting to use today's incident to provoke Xu Que and see how he would react!

"I think it is already very special!" Xu Que frowned and replied.

"I don't think there's anything special about it!" Liu Jingning blinked and replied with a calm expression.

She felt she could provoke Xu Que a bit more, but she did not know that Xu Que had already gone astray in his thoughts, believing he might have overthought things, and feeling that Liu Jingning's teasing of him seemed to be just casual play.

This kind of situation was very common on Earth!

"Alright, I understand!" Xu Que shrugged his shoulders, a hint of bitterness and helplessness permeating his tone, and then he turned around and headed toward the outside of the Great Hall!

"Eh?" Liu Jingning immediately froze, only then realizing that Xu Que's reaction was different from what she had imagined.

"Wai..."

She had just opened her mouth, preparing to explain to Xu Que clearly that it was just a joke.

"Halt!"

But just at that moment, a harsh shout came through, interrupting Liu Jingning's words and further preventing Xu Que from leaving!

The person who spoke was actually one of the Bliss Sect Elders.

It was precisely this Elder who had previously questioned Xu Que about his identity; now, seeing Xu Que suddenly trying to leave, he stepped forward again, his style very domineering!

"Do you think our Bliss Sect is a place you can come to and leave from at will? First, explain your identity clearly; why have you come to our Bliss Sect to cause trouble?" that Elder said with a frown.

In front of the Li family, he felt that letting Xu Que leave like this would be far too shameful for the Bliss Sect.

"Young Friend, it seems you still haven't answered my question from earlier; why do you disagree with this marriage?" Li Tangshan also spoke up with a smiling question, yet this smile did not appear gentle, but rather was filled with an unquestionable domineering force!

It seemed that if Xu Que did not answer clearly, he would not let Xu Que leave!

"I agree now, alright?" Xu Que replied directly with impatience.

His mood was not pleasant right now; if not for Liu Jingning's sake, he would have long ago slapped both the Bliss Sect Elder and Li Tangshan across the face!

Agreed now?

Liu Jingning was the first to be stunned, completely having never expected Xu Que to actually respond with those words!

The crowd present also froze, and then their faces one after another turned ugly.

Because the crux of this issue was not whether Xu Que agreed or disagreed, but rather on what grounds he had the right to speak of agreeing or disagreeing!

After all, this was the Bliss Sect, and Liu Jingning was moreover the Bliss Sect's Holy Maiden; whether or not to agree to this marriage was simply not something an outsider had the right to comment on!

Xu Que first ran out inexplicably to say he disagreed with this marriage, then suddenly wanted to leave; only after being pressed did he abruptly declare he now agreed!

This was simply treating the Bliss Sect with total disdain!

"Hmph, what an arrogant brat! Who do you think you are, having the qualification to speak here? Kneel down!" That Bliss Sect Elder, furious enough to make his beard bristle and eyes bulge, shouted in rage while surging with immense pressure that swept directly toward Xu Que.

"Noisy!" Xu Que frowned, mobilized his Divine Soul Power, and like a tsunami, suddenly blasted it back!

"Wait!" Liu Jingning's face changed instantly as she shouted, but ultimately she was a step too late!

"Boom!"

Amid a dull thud, that Bliss Sect Elder was instantly blown flying, crashing directly onto a massive pillar in the Great Hall, his face turning pale at once!

This was the result of Xu Que holding back; otherwise, with his Dao Rhyme, he could have completely crippled that Elder in a single move!

"How is this possible?"

Everyone in the arena witnessed this scene and was instantly shaken, filled with Disbelief!

A Void Refining Stage Elder had attacked to suppress this young youth, yet ended up injured instead!

There was only one possible explanation for such a result: this youth must be at least a Holy Son!

"Presumptuous!"

"You dare injure people within our Bliss Sect!"

"Seeking death!"

Instantly, the remaining Elders all shouted in anger; even if Xu Que truly was a Holy Son, they could not stand by and do nothing!

Because even a Holy Son had no qualification to act so arrogantly within their Bliss Sect!

"Everyone, stop!"

At this moment, Liu Jingning suddenly spoke, halting the many Elders, then fixed her gaze on Xu Que and said with a Cold Smile: "Little Que Que, what did you just say? Do you agree to this marriage?"

Little Que Que?

What kind of address is that?

The expressions of everyone present instantly turned strange!

"Little Que Que, 'Que'? Hiss, could it be..."

After repeating it several times, someone suddenly thought of a certain name, instantly drew in a sharp breath, and looked at Xu Que in shock!

Simultaneously, Xu Que also looked at Liu Jingning, the corners of his mouth lifting as he smiled: "Little sister, I've changed my mind again! Now I declare that I do not agree to this marriage! If you must ask what qualification I have to disagree, I believe my name is qualification enough!"

Saying this, Xu Que scanned everyone present and stated word by word: "My name is Xu Que! The 'Xu' of Xu Que; as for the character 'Que,' I don't know how to write it. If anyone disagrees, first ask my Farmer's Three Punches!"
