The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 309 Betrothal Gift
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and all the members of the Huo family, except Huo Xinghai who was still filming on the crew, went to Xuanxie to participate in the marriage proposal.

There was nothing wrong with Huo Xingchen going, but what surprised Gu Qingyin was that Huo Xingye actually put down his work and came to join in the fun.

Huo Xingye explained: "This is my brother's first marriage proposal, so as the eldest brother, I naturally have to join in to show my respect for the girl. Besides, I prepared the betrothal gifts myself, so of course I have to see if Xuanxie is satisfied."

Gu Qingyin curled her lips. If she wanted to watch the fun, she should just say it directly. Why beat around the bush? The real boss never explains! He even found two excuses!
The first time Huo Xingye entered the Xuanshu Association, he was truly eye-opening. The entrance that transcended time and space, and the interior decoration style that was like a science fiction movie, all amazed him in his heart, but on the surface, the domineering president remained as calm as ever.

Gu Qingyin couldn't help but praise, "My son is great. He is calm in the face of adversity. He is worthy of being the head of the Huo family."

Huo Xingye smiled calmly, "Nothing more than that."

Huo Xingchen gave a thumbs up, "Brother is worthy of being the eldest brother! He has seen more of the world than me!"

Huo Yunjing seemed to see through him. He chuckled and said nothing.

Not long after they walked, Liu Ergou came out with the reorganized elders council.

Not only Elder Miao, but several older elders have all retired in despair. Today's elders are all middle-aged backbones. Although they are not as strong as the older generation, their thoughts are very unified and selfless. I believe that in a few years, Xuanxie will undergo a refreshing change.

"Master Gu!" Liu Ergou had a formal smile on his face and stretched out his hand to Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin blinked, a little uncomfortable, but she also extended her hand out of courtesy. However, before she could shake it, a big hand quickly stretched out from her side and shook Liu Ergou's hand for her, shaking it twice in a very perfunctory manner, "Hello, President."

Gu Qingyin paused, then silently withdrew her hand. She glanced at Huo Yunjing, who looked calm, and said nothing.

Liu Ergou was also stunned, but soon smiled again, "The banquet is ready, everyone please come in, we will eat and chat."

Everyone continued to walk inside.

Huo Xingchen was a little nervous, and he leaned over to Huo Xingye to make small talk, "Brother, do you think today will go well?"

Huo Xingye also responded in a low voice: "Of course, you don't have to think too much, just let it go, my parents and eldest brother are here."

Huo Xingchen nodded, looked around, and asked, "Why isn't Weng Yun here?"

Huo Xingye frowned and glanced at him, "Didn't you say that she hasn't finished handling the commission yet?"

"Oh, yes." Huo Xingchen scratched his head, "I forgot."

Huo Xingye was quite disgusted and simply ignored him. It was just a marriage proposal, why was he so nervous? He was useless.

The banquet was prepared in Xuanxie's banquet hall, which was not open to the public except for important events. This was enough to prove how much Xuanxie valued this marriage proposal. After all, Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing came in person, so they had to be given the face they deserved.

Everyone took their seats one by one, the banquet began, and all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were served to the table.

The Huo family watched silently. When all the dishes were ready, Huo Xingye suddenly spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, most of these are things that are not allowed to be eaten, right?"

Liu Ergou's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. These are all raised by us, not wild ones. You can eat them without worry."

Huo Yunjing raised his eyebrows, "Are you allowed to raise these things yourself?"

Liu Ergou's eyelids also began to twitch, and he laughed and said, "There are always more solutions than problems."

Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue twice and muttered softly, "All the prestige is gone."

Liu Ergou pretended not to hear and invited everyone to eat.

How should I put it? As expected of something that is not allowed to be eaten, it tastes really good. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the food was removed and everyone finally got down to business.

Huo Xingye, as a representative, took out a small red booklet from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it over, "This is the betrothal gift list, please take a look." A young elder behind Liu Ergou stepped forward and took the booklet. No one in the Xuan Association paid attention to the booklet until the elder opened it. Suddenly, the neatly folded papers slipped out and fell directly to the ground.

The people of Xuanxie were stunned. Why is it so long? After taking a quick look, hmm... the characters are not big, even a little small! The people of Xuanxie took a deep breath without making a sound. How many things must have been prepared!

The young elder was trying to sort things out in a hurry, but the more anxious he was, the worse he got. Liu Ergou couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the list from him and started looking at it himself, sorting it out as he read. By the time he finished, he had almost finished everything.

Liu Ergou had an idea in his mind. He coughed and said, "It is indeed very generous, but they are all worldly things, which are of little use to the Heavenly Master."

Huo Xingchen's heart suddenly began to tighten.

Huo Xingye also frowned slightly. Was he dissatisfied? Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin smiled and said, "Of course there is also a betrothal gift, but whether it can be written on the list in the end depends on Xuanxie's attitude."

Liu Ergou looked calm and didn't respond, but he exclaimed in his heart: Here it comes!

"What does Master Gu mean?" Several elders looked at each other, and finally a representative spoke on their behalf, "We didn't accept this betrothal gift for nothing. After accepting it, we will naturally prepare a corresponding dowry. In the final analysis, it is to save up for the children."

Gu Qingyin smiled slightly, "I heard that the orphans raised by Xuanxie cannot regain their freedom even if they get married. I want to ask why? Did they sign a contract to sell their bodies? If not, they won't raise them?"

"Of course not! We just don't want to see talented people buried!"

"And then?" Gu Qingyin pressed, "After training, will he become a knife in Xuanxie's hand?"

"You are slandering!"

"Xuan Xie never thought of it this way!"

"Don't use your own mind to speculate about us!"

……

Several elders refuted excitedly.

Liu Ergou thought to himself, go ahead and talk more. The more you talk, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Sure enough, Gu Qingyin laughed after a while, "It turns out that I misunderstood the good intentions of everyone in the association. In this case, after Weng Yun gets married, she can officially leave the Xuan Association, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Gu Qingyin blinked, "Is it not possible? Now that she has a family, she should naturally put her family first in everything. She is Weng Yun first, and then the Heavenly Master, isn't she?"

After a few seconds of silence, an elder spoke dryly, "There's no need to divide it so finely. Weng Yun is a Heavenly Master after all, and he will have to take on commissions in the future..."

"That's right!" Gu Qingyin clapped her hands. "From now on, Weng Yun will be the nominal Heavenly Master of the Association. For the sake of our family, please give her more commission money. This is a child raised by Xuanxie. You can't just watch her suffer, right?"

“Naturally, naturally…”

The elders nodded in agreement, but they felt something was wrong.

Before they could react, Gu Qingyin delivered the final blow, "Since the deal has been made, we can also give out this final betrothal gift - a piece of Zhulong's tendons and bones, ten pieces of dragon scales, and some flesh and blood."

She raised her eyes to look at the people opposite her who were completely stunned, and smiled slightly, "Are you satisfied with this betrothal gift?"
