Chapter 637
"Wugou, have you thought it through? There is no turning back now, you can't go back on your word once you agree!"
Gao Shilian actually felt that it was better for Changsun Wugou to be an Empress. Although Lin Fan said she would die early, dying at thirty-six was definitely not due to lifespan, either because of assassination or illness. As long as she was careful, maybe she could overcome this hurdle.
"Uncle, Wugou has already considered it, I will never regret it!"
Changsun Wugou answered Gao Shilian seriously. Gao Shilian had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Sister Xiuning, it seems I really have to call you sister from now on!"
Changsun Wugou walked to the side of Li Xiuning, whom she was most familiar with, and said with a smile.
"Actually, I originally thought you would become the wife of my Second Brother Li Shimin. I didn't expect that by a twist of fate, we two became sisters!"
Li Xiuning's expression was complex. She knew that if it weren't for today's events, Changsun Wugou would definitely be her sister-in-law. Unfortunately, there were no ifs. Her Second Brother dared to play tricks in front of her husband, and her husband was already being polite. Otherwise, it was possible for her husband to kill her Second Brother on the spot.
"Oh my, I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping this morning. It turns out there is a happy event in the Gao Mansion. Today Wugou has found a good family, this matter is really worth celebrating."
Suddenly, a hearty voice came over, and an old man in his fifties brought Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji in. He should be Li Yuan.
"Master Li, I'm really sorry about this matter, the marriage contract……"
Seeing Li Yuan, Gao Shilian felt a bit embarrassed and worried. They couldn't afford to offend the Li family. Now that they had publicly broken off the marriage, he didn't know what Li Yuan would think.
"Marriage contract, what marriage contract? Our Li family is just on good terms with the Gao family and the Changsun family. Today, the girl from the Changsun family has found a good family, and I am also happy for her. Coincidentally, my daughter also followed Master Tianji. Isn't this a coincidence? They have become sisters, and the relationship between our two families has become even closer!"
Li Yuan smiled and didn't look displeased at all. On the contrary, his words were full of closeness, which made Gao Shilian sigh with emotion at Master Tianji's deterrent power.
"This must be my worthy son-in-law, Master Tianji Lin Fan, right? Indeed a man of talent. No wonder Xiuning left with you without even saying hello, making this old father miss her very much!"
Then Li Yuan turned to look at Lin Fan, his tone was intimate, his attitude was friendly, and he looked like an elder looking at a younger generation.
Before he returned to the mansion, he had already learned everything that happened after Lin Fan arrived at the Li Fu, including the conflict between Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Lin Fan, and Li Shimin being punished by Lin Fan for playing tricks.
Of course, all of this became irrelevant in the matter of forming an alliance with the Song family of Lingnan. This was Master Tianji's influence.
Even if he didn't help intentionally, his every move affected the situation. Without his severed limb regrowth pill, how could the Li family get in touch with the Song family of Lingnan, and how could they get the Song family's support?
As for Changsun Wugou, if Lin Fan took a fancy to her, then so be it. Isn't she just a woman? There will be plenty in the future. Lin Fan also took down Song Que's two daughters, so the relationship between the Li family and the Song family became even closer, after all, their daughters were all Lin Fan's women.
It can be said that with the support of the Heavenly Blade Song Que and the Song family of Lingnan, the Li family already had the victory in the competition for the Central Plains. In comparison, the small grievances suffered by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were not worth mentioning.
"This is the junior's fault."
Li Yuan's attitude was very good, and Lin Fan wouldn't hit a smiling person, so he just dealt with him perfunctorily.
"Hey, young people's feelings come not only quickly but also violently, this is all normal. Even I was a young man once, so I can understand it very well. It's rare for my worthy son-in-law to come once, and I haven't seen Xiuning for a long time, why not come to the mansion and talk?"
Li Yuan didn't care about Lin Fan's perfunctory attitude at all and instead invited him enthusiastically.
"Alright, then I'll disturb you!"
Lin Fan considered it and didn't refuse, taking his women to the Li Fu, while Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji were also invited by Li Yuan and followed.
"Worthy son-in-law, how long do you plan to stay this time? Let me fulfill the duties of a host and entertain you properly!"
Several parties gathered in the Li Fu, and Li Yuan said to Lin Fan enthusiastically.
"I reckon Uncle has also heard the voice I announced to the world earlier. I have other things to be busy with, so time is tight, and I can't delay even for a day. I have to leave today!"
Lin Fan told Li Yuan bluntly that he was leaving today. How many more days could he stay? If he stayed for a few more days, he would have to return to Wudicheng to open the Tianmen. Where would he have the leisure time?
"Understood, understood. As the world's number one, my worthy son-in-law is so ambitious, daring to be the first in the world, and creating peace for all generations. I think after this battle, the people of the world will definitely honor my worthy son-in-law as a sage of the current era, and future generations will also admire him for generations."
"This battle is not for fame or profit, but for testing the sword. Heavenly Beings are also people of the human world, but after failing to shatter the void, they escaped into the Heavenly Realm, trying to fish for the luck of the human world to improve themselves. This is just lingering on with their last breath. I am just helping them find relief, how can I be considered a sage?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly. Li Yuan was really good at flattering him.
"Wang Xianzhi blocked the entrance to the Tianmen, not letting people ascend to the Heavenly Realm, nor letting Heavenly Beings descend to the human world. But how many years can he persist? After he dies, who else has the strength to block the Tianmen? Even if they have the strength, whether they are willing is still unknown. At that time, Heavenly Beings will descend to the human world, and the human world will definitely be plunged into misery. My worthy son-in-law is cutting off the root of disaster for the human world in advance, and is worthy of the name of sage!"
Li Yuan was also a person who wanted to be an Emperor, so naturally, he didn't want to be controlled by others in the future. If Heavenly Beings descended, they would stir up trouble, leading to chaotic wars in the human world and plunging the people into misery, and he, the Emperor, wouldn't be able to sit firmly.
Of course, he wouldn't know that he wouldn't be the Emperor for long before being driven down by Li Shimin to be the Retired Emperor.
Sage is sage, Lin Fan was too lazy to argue. Anyway, he was about to leave this world, and at that time, future generations would judge his merits and demerits.
"Li An, order the kitchen to serve the dishes!"
At this time, Li Yuan looked at the sky and found that it was time for dinner, so he ordered the butler to serve the dishes.
Lin Fan looked at Li Shimin's green face on the side and found it a bit funny. Little guy, you tried to use me, so I snatched your Empress of the Ages, let's see if you can still become that Tang Taizong who left a name in history.
However, Li Shimin himself also liked to do this. After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died, their women were all taken by Li Shimin.
"Master Lin, are you going to take Wugou away today?"
Gao Shilian suddenly remembered this matter and asked hurriedly.
"Naturally, I will take Wugou away today. And after the battle in the Heavenly Realm, I will also take them and shatter the void to leave this world, so this is also the last time you will see each other!"
Lin Fan thought about it and told Gao Shilian this cruel reality.
