Grudge Breaker

Chapter 372: Fire in the Backyard
In fact, when Song Weichen read halfway through the third self-recommendation, she had already deduced that the final candidate was Qin Che, so she deliberately said something harsh.

Xiao Huahua is a good girl no matter how you look at it, and she doesn't want Hua Zhezun to have the rest of his life ruined by a playboy just because Marquis Zhenyuan is blind.

But Song Weichen ignored that although it was an anonymous selection, she had offended Qin Che thoroughly by speaking so sharply - maybe she thought of it subconsciously, but she didn't care. Didn't Bingtuozi say that he would take care of it if anything went wrong. If he couldn't even deal with a little devil like Qin Che, he didn't deserve to be her husband.

At this moment, Song Weichen showed the bravery and determination of a righteous man. Since he had chosen to wade into the muddy water of the banquet, he was not afraid of getting his shoes wet.

The corners of her mouth curled up. She could feel a vicious glare stabbing at her from the direction where Qin Che was sitting without even looking. Song Weichen left him with a pretty back view and turned to look at Qin Xueying.

The professional fake smile on the eldest princess' face did not change at all, as if her good cousin Qin Che had nothing to do with her. Instead, she looked at Hua Zhezun with concern. What a great acting skill.

"General Hua, the White Robe Reverend has finished analyzing the three candidates. What do you think?"

Qin Xueying stood up, and although she was speaking to Hua Zhezun, she actually bowed in the direction of Hua Xiaohu.

Zhenyuan Hou's smile was a bit forced, and he didn't know how to express his opinion for a moment. These three...are there any options? He stroked his beard, coughed lightly, and looked at his daughter.

"Zhanzan, the eldest princess is asking for your opinion."

Marquis Zhenyuan's move was a step forward, seemingly an attempt to shirk responsibility, but in reality he was handing the initiative of marriage back into the hands of his daughter - meaning that from now on tonight, no matter what decision she made, Hua Xiaohu, as a father, would fully support her.

Hua Zhezun didn't say anything, but picked up a jade cup on the table and walked to Song Weichen.

"Moisten your throat."

Song Weichen had been talking all night and now her throat was full of sparks. Hua Zhezun's considerate actions touched her heart.

"Xiaohuahua, you deserve someone better."

She took the opportunity to mutter to Hua Zhezun, and her meaning was obvious: they were all ugly, don't choose anyone.

Hua Zhezun nodded again, almost imperceptibly, and bowed to Song Weichen, saying loudly,
"Thank you for your help in analyzing and solving my doubts, Venerable White Robe. I am extremely grateful. Please take a seat and take a rest. Leave the rest to me." It was obvious that he didn't want Song Weichen to get too involved in the dispute.

"Everyone, I have delayed your beautiful view tonight because of my personal problems. Please accept my respect."

Hua Zhezun bowed to the main seat and then saluted towards the hall. Although his expression was calm, there was a kind of cold and cold air that told strangers to stay away.

"You are all talented people in the world, especially the three outstanding ones just now. It is my honor to have you attend today's banquet."

"It's just that I'm just a warrior, and my life is very boring. The only thing I'm good at is making friends with martial arts and expressing love with swords. If you three are interested, you can all come up and spar with me. We'll stop here. After all, this is how we will get along in the future."

"If you can beat me, we can discuss everything. Otherwise, the world is wide and the road is long. I'll just turn the page. Of course, anyone who has submitted a resume tonight can come up if they are interested. I'm willing to ask for advice."

Hua Zhezun was too smart. If Song Weichen's magical operation just now was a psychological attack, then her current method of competing for a bride was a physical attack. Moreover, the subtext was that it was not just today's competition, but their daily life in the future would be competitions and fighting - which prince could withstand this?
As expected, the hall fell silent, and no one stepped forward. After waiting patiently for two cups of tea, Hua Zhezun saluted again, this time with a slight smile on his face.

"Thank you very much, Hua will give way to you."

At this point, this ridiculous wedding banquet is finally coming to an end.

……

Song Weichen was very satisfied. He raised his chin towards Mo Tingfeng who was still sitting at the main table, with an expression that looked like he was asking for credit: "Look, Xiao Song, I always keep my word. I didn't cause you any trouble, did I? Praise me."

Mo Tingfeng had three black lines on his forehead. My dear, you probably don’t know how many people you have offended tonight…

Did she think that it was just candidates A, B, and C who were skinned and boned by her? Did she think that it was just Qin Xueying and others who were preparing for the wedding banquet? Of course not.

She had offended all the "talented men" who had submitted their resumes to some extent - in front of the territory master and a group of immortal nobles, this "unique" blind date selection method was itself a kind of disrespect.

Mo Tingfeng sighed and thought, forget it, after all she is his wife.

It seems that he has to use some tricks in secret to make these silly guys who came to the blind date tonight never dare to even dream of taking revenge on the White Robe Reverend. He is the only one who can do these dirty and tiring work.
.
"Boom——"

There was a faint sound of thunder outside the main hall, and I'm afraid it will rain heavily soon.

"Weiwei, let's go." Mo Tingfeng came to the side seat to pick her up, his tone full of tenderness.

Before the two of them took two steps, a voice called out from behind, "White Robe Venerable, please stay—"

Song Weichen turned around and saw that it was Hua Xiaohu who called her. And the territory master Qin Huan, who smiled and waved at her beside Zhenyuan Hou, obviously asking her to come over.

After exchanging a quick glance with Mo Tingfeng, she hurriedly took two quick steps to the main seat. Just as she was about to bow, she was stopped by Hua Xiaohu. Naturally, she exchanged some thanks and greetings, but at the end she couldn't help but carefully probe,

"Venerable White Robe, you and True Lord Cang Yue..."

Seeing Mo Tingfeng following him, his fist hardened. Song Weichen denied three times in a row.
"No, no, it doesn't exist! Don't misunderstand, Marquis Zhenyuan, Master Cangyue and I are just good friends."

"So what's being said is just a joke?" Hua Xiaohu's eyes lit up. "In that case, Your Excellency, are you willing to spend more time with my little girl, Zhanzhan?"

"Okay."

"Not appropriate, not necessary, not suitable."

Song Weichen and Mo Tingfeng spoke at the same time, and this time it was the latter's turn to deny three times in a row. Mo Tingfeng pulled the stunned Song Weichen half a step behind him with a cold face.

"The white robe is a heretic, his words and deeds are outrageous, and if he moves around too much, I'm afraid he will lead General Hua astray. Marquis Zhenyuan has made a mistake in his love."

"This……"

Hua Xiaohu was speechless for a moment. If Baipao and his daughter got together, wouldn't it be good for Sichen Mansion and Zhenyuan Hou Mansion to join forces? It would also be a great help to his Sichen Mansion. Why did Lord Sichen resist so much?
Unexpectedly, Hua Zhezun actually came over and continued the topic of her father.

"Weiwei, I don't have many friends, and I don't know how to make friends. If a weirdo like me comes to Sichen Mansion to chat with you, will it be a problem for you?"

"Of course not. General Hua, you can come anytime. I'd be happy to do so!"

Song Weichen jumped out from behind Mo Tingfeng and stood next to Hua Zhezun. What's wrong with this bastard? It's ok to stop her from dating boys, but why does he even stop girls?
Mo Tingfeng clenched his fists again, wanting to knock open Song Weichen's little head to see what she was thinking. How could she be so careless? Did she not realize that Zhenyuan Hou had taken a fancy to her as his "son-in-law"? Did she not realize that Hua Zhezun might have other thoughts about her, or the kind between a man and a woman!

The noble Lord Si Chen just wanted to curse at this moment. How come even women are trying to snatch women from him now? Is there any law in the Mei world? Ah?

"Clap!"

There was a loud lightning outside the palace, and heavy rain came pouring down.

"White robe, it's raining. You are so smart, why don't you listen to what kind of rain it is?"

The territory master Qin Huan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked a strange question.

Song Weichen was stunned. It seemed that there was something behind the words of Territory Lord Lao Deng. What did he want to say?
Seeing the territory master looking at him with burning eyes, Song Weichen gritted his teeth and spoke, talking nonsense while thinking of countermeasures.

"Listening to the rain, playing chess, burning incense, picking flowers, tasting tea, exploring secluded places, appreciating paintings, playing the zither, waiting for the full moon, and drinking wine are all considered the ten most elegant things."

"A fine rain is called 'lianxian', a rain that moistens everything is called 'lingze', a long drought is called 'ganlin', and a heavy rain is called 'donglong'."

"As for the rain in the Territory Lord's Mansion, it must be timely rain. Knowing that the Territory Lord was happy tonight and drank two more glasses of wine, the heavens personally cleaned the cups and used the rain and mist to brew tea for you."

"Hahaha, what a clever and eloquent mouth you have." Qin Huan smiled wryly, "White robe, be careful that your cleverness may backfire."

"The one who rains is a fool."

"God is making you wise but foolish. Some things may be seen but not spoken."

"Tingfeng is right. Zhanzhan has a straightforward and pure character. You'd better stay out of the crowd and don't lead her astray."

The territory master is unhappy.

Obviously Qin Huan did not believe that Song Weichen and Gu Cangyue were just "good friends". The most important thing was that he disliked that she talked too much tonight - thanks to her tricks, Hua Zhezhan could not find any of the dozens of nobles to close their eyes, making it seem as if there was no one in the sleeping world.

Mo Tingfeng unexpectedly did not refute Qin Huan's criticism. He didn't want Song Weichen to have too close a relationship with Hua Zhezun, so he simply took the opportunity to back off and left with Song Weichen.

Just as the two were about to board the Soul-Returning Boat, Hua Zhezun caught up with them.

"Weiwei, I'm sorry. You helped me but I made you suffer. I feel guilty."

"I'm used to it. It's not your fault."

Song Weichen curled her lips. It had been a long time since the territory lord Lao Deng disliked her.

"You should go back quickly, otherwise if the territory master hears that you came to see me on purpose, I will be scolded again."

She turned around and tried to board the boat, but her wrist was grabbed by Hua Zhezun.

"Weiwei, I want to ask you again seriously, we just met by chance, why... did you help me?
"This……"

Song Weichen scratched his head. Do you really want me to make up an excuse?
"Because... let me think about it, because I want to climb up the ladder of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion? If I am expelled from the Sichen Mansion one day, I can still rely on what happened today to find you for a living?"

Hua Zhezun seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes looked at Song Weichen with a deeper meaning.
"Okay, I'll remember your kindness."

……

"General Hua, there are differences between men and women."

Mo Tingfeng stared at Song Weichen's wrist being held by Hua Zhezuan, his voice as cold as his eyes. The Warlock Classification Trial was about to start, and he was overwhelmed with thoughts. He really didn't want to be on guard against a fire in the backyard at this critical moment.

Hua Zhezun let go of Song Weichen's wrist, looked at Mo Tingfeng quietly, and suddenly chuckled - the laughter sounded quite sarcastic and harsh to the latter.

"Master Si Chen, I am stupid and don't understand your attempt to cover up something."

"By the way, the Lord of the Territory asked me to tell you that he agrees that the eldest princess can participate in this warlock grading trial as an ordinary warlock. Please judge impartially."

"In addition, Hua will go with you to watch the trial as the representative of the Territory Lord's Mansion."

"Please give me more guidance, Master Si Chen."
