Chapter 154 The play ends, the people awaken
Zhao Mengxi looked at the chaotic council hall, her head buzzing.
She had previously considered using the lie that she was pregnant to forcibly kidnap Fang Yuan in front of her father.
But he only dared to do that in front of his father.
Has he gone mad?
No----
Zhao Mengxi suddenly remembered the other person's other identity.
The young master of Tingyu Pavilion is the true disciple of the pavilion master who could slay a purple mansion with a sword from afar.
A madman who acts so recklessly, completely defies common sense, and has an incredibly powerful background—it seems that nothing is surprising about him doing anything absurd?
Zhao Mengxi was about to clarify the facts.
Li Qingyi and the clan elders in the council hall reached a strange consensus.
They wouldn't let her speak.
Li Qingyi placed her large hand directly on Zhao Mengxi's shoulder.
Inside the council hall, an elder rushed out and placed his large hand on Zhao Mengxi's shoulder.
The spiritual pressure emanating from the two of them rendered Zhao Mengxi speechless.
Li Qingyi and the clan elder exchanged a knowing glance.
At this moment, the two, with completely different purposes, reached a strange tacit understanding.
The elder in the brown robe tightened his grip, but a concerned smile appeared on his face. His voice was loud and clear: "Patriarch, everyone! Mengxi has had a long journey and is pregnant. She should not get emotional."
This place is too noisy for her to rest. As her elder, I should take her back to the hospital to rest and recuperate peacefully for the rest of her pregnancy!
Having said that, he gave Zhao Zhouhui no chance to react, half supporting and half dragging him, while secretly channeling his magic power.
Almost carrying the speechless Zhao Mengxi, he turned around and quickly walked out of the hall.
Their movements were so swift and decisive that they were impossible to defend against.
"Stop!" Zhao Zhouhui roared, his eyes bloodshot, and was about to step forward.
However, as soon as he took a step, several clan elders swarmed around him, completely blocking his way.
These people wore worried expressions, and they said one after another, "Master, please calm down! Mengxi's health is important!"
"Yes, Patriarch, at this time, Mengxi and the fetus should be the priority! We can talk about anything else after Mengxi has rested."
"Master, calm down, please calm down!"
They all spoke at once, seemingly offering advice, but in reality, they were trying to obstruct.
Surrounded by enemies, Zhao Zhouhui watched helplessly as his daughter was taken away by the treacherous elder. He trembled with rage, felt a tightness in his chest, and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Zhao Zhouhui wished he could devour Li Qingyi alive.
Li Qingyi smiled calmly, "I hope Uncle will grant my request."
The others chimed in, saying, "Master, things have come to this point, so we have no choice but to grant the marriage."
He knew perfectly well that Li Qingyi was in cahoots with these elders.
He was already a step too late; the elder who had just left would probably spread the news.
At that point, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear my name.
He knew very well how powerful rumors could be.
"Give way? Hmph!" Zhao Zhouhui sneered through gritted teeth.
He took a deep breath, and his voice regained the dignity of a family head: "Young Master Fang keeps asking to marry my daughter, but I don't know what kind of sect or school Young Master Fang comes from, or what his family background is."
Although my Zhao family of Zichuan is not top-tier, it is not a place where just anyone can curry favor! Without a suitable match, today's matter would likely not have been accomplished!
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "It's hard to say about my identity, but you can ask Senior Zhao, Uncle."
"I had a very pleasant conversation with Elder Zhao just now, and I think that perhaps his wisdom can enlighten my uncle."
Go ask the ancestor?!
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with surprise and doubt.
Does this kid really have some powerful background?
This speculation made the elders, who had been harboring their own schemes, feel a sense of unease and foreboding.
If this kid has such a powerful background that even the patriarch has to give him face, then what they just did wasn't to strike at Zhao Zhouhui, but rather to facilitate a marriage alliance that would be extremely beneficial to the Zhao family.
Wouldn't they have shot themselves in the foot, helping Zhao Zhouhui find a powerful ally for nothing?
What I just did was only meant to disgust Zhao Zhouhui.
Li Qingyi's gaze swept over the crowd, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
He had previously concealed his cultivation level using a fake human skin; in the eyes of these people, he was merely a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Average qualifications.
This is exactly the effect I wanted.
There must be a lot of internal strife within the Zhao family; everyone wants to be the head of the family.
That's why he concealed his cultivation level when he came in.
In the scene captured by Li Qingyi's divine sense, the elder who had just left had already spread the news of what had just happened.
This way, Zhao Mengxi won't have a chance to clarify.
Li Qingyi originally thought that she would have to say more, but she didn't expect these elders to be so impatient.
Zhao Zhouhui's eyes flickered.
Just then, Li Qingyi released the concealment of her aura, revealing her cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The entire room fell silent.
"A twenty-year-old at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
"Whose peerless genius is this?"
The room was deathly silent! You could hear a pin drop!
In an instant, those clan elders were filled with deep regret.
They realized that they seemed to have been tricked by Li Qingyi.
Zhao Zhouhui was truly disgusted; his fists clenched tightly beneath his sleeves!
You little brat! Why didn't you say you had this background sooner?! Did you really want to see your father-in-law get disgusted?!
Zhao Zhouhui's mindset underwent a subtle change.
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Uncle, I am concerned about Mengxi's health, so I will go down first."

After saying that, he left without looking back.
All that was left were a group of clan elders who had been used as pawns and were in a bad mood.
Upon arriving at Zhao Mengxi's residence, they found her sitting in the courtyard with a gloomy expression. Hearing footsteps, Zhao Mengxi slowly raised her head.
"Are you crazy?"
Faced with Zhao Mengxi's questioning, Li Qingyi became even more affectionate.
He stepped forward, ignoring the other person's murderous gaze, and leaned down slightly to close the distance between them.
"Mengxi—will you marry me?"
Zhao Mengxi: "————"
For some inexplicable reason, Zhao Mengxi just wanted to strangle Li Qingyi.
She simply couldn't believe that the sword cultivator who was once full of sword energy could become so hateful!
Finally, seeing how unpleasant her face looked, Li Qingyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Then, the laughter, like a flood bursting its banks, grew louder and more unrestrained!
"Hahahahahahaha—!!!"
Li Qingyi burst into laughter!
They laughed so hard they were doubled over, and tears almost welled up in their eyes!
The clear, cheerful laughter made the plum trees in the courtyard tremble and the leaves flutter down!
Since he traveled through time, he had never laughed so heartily!
Zhao Mengxi was furious: "What exactly do you want to do?!"
Li Qingyi laughed for a long time before she could barely stop.
Looking at Zhao Mengxi's face, which was pale with anger yet helpless, he suddenly became serious: "What do I want to do?" He tilted his head expressionlessly, and then—his smile widened even more, "I want to play a trick on you!"
Ha ha ha ha!!!"
"Wow, playing pranks on people is so much fun! Hahahaha! This is hilarious!"
He laughed without any regard for his image, and even subconsciously raised his hand as if to wipe his face, turning his face into the red center tile in mahjong.
Zhao Mengxi couldn't hold back any longer; she wanted to tear Li Qingyi's face off.
His body surged with magical power, and his Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation erupted in full force as he charged towards Li Qingyi.
As a result, Li Qingyi held him down firmly with one hand, making him unable to move.
Seeing that Li Qingyi was still smiling.
Zhao Mengxi inexplicably felt a sense of grievance.
She had never felt so wronged in her entire life.
Suddenly, Li Qingyi seemed to realize something, immediately shed her "actor mode" and became serious.
"Damn! They've gone too far with the true teachings of Taoism!"
Without realizing it, he had just portrayed himself as a madman who was playing tricks on others.
Coming to her senses, Li Qingyi gently released her grip.
Zhao Mengxi raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
