novelThe Capital Plan
| ← Ch.0664 | Ch.0666 → |
"I knew that you will be worried about sister Wan'er, so I've specially inquired about the situation for you. I've figured out all the details now."
Hu Xiaoxian began to tell the story. It turned out that Qin Waner had gone back to visit her family this time. She wanted to see her family members, especially her mother.
It was the first time for her to go home after she recovered from her illness. When the Qis saw Qi Waner, who used to be such an ugly little girl and had now turned into a great beauty, they were excited and astonished.
Shi Zhixuan, Qi Waner's mother, was even more ecstatic. But she was worried that her daughter's fate might be bad, so she asked the top master in the capital, Taoist Yuan Tianren, to read her fortune.
After checking, he said that Qi Waner would be blessed since she survived a disaster. Now she had a rare good-luck face and would bring fortune to her husband. Anyone who married her would definitely become rich and prosperous.
Yuan Tianren was the most famous Geomantic Omen master in the capital. It was said that he knew what had taken place five hundred years ago and what would happen five hundred years later. Everyone believed in his predictions, especially the aristocratic families, who regarded his advice as an imperial edict.
After hearing the news, numerous people gathered around the Qi house. The matchmakers from all the aristocratic families came to propose marriage. They were all eager to get this beautiful girl who would bring luck to their family.
The Qi family was, of course, very happy about the result. After the selection, Qi Guofan, the master of the Qi family, decided to arrange a marriage with the Zhao family and marry Qi Waner to Zhao Hongkun.
Qi Waner had never expected that a simple fortune-telling act from Yuan could lead to such an occurrence. She repeatedly told her grandfather that she already had a boyfriend.
However, as a member of a distinguished family, she had no control over her marriage matters. Her father did not take her words seriously and even snapped at her.
Qi Yulong was very satisfied with this marriage. First of all, the relationship between the Qi family and the Zhao family had always been good. If they were united through marriage, both of them would enjoy great benefits in the future.
Besides, he was satisfied with Zhao Hongkun. He was outstanding among the younger generation in the capital. The young man was very handsome and stable and he would be one of the top candidates for the head of the Zhao family.
That was the reason why he directly dismissed her proposal without even asking who her boyfriend was.
She had no other choice and decided to run away. But before she could even leave the house, she was caught by Qi Yulong and her cultivation had also been sealed. She was ordered to stay in her room to reflect on her mistakes. She was not even allowed to leave the house before the engagement.
After hearing what Hu Xiaoxian, Qin Haodong looked gloomy and he said coldly, "Is Yuan Tianren the Old Taoist Yuan of the Chu family?"
Hu Xiaoxian said, "It's him. The master of the Chu family respects him very much."
"This old bullshitter. Why is he still lingering around here?"
Qin Haodong nearly wanted to kill this man.
It was this old man who spouted a lot of nonsense in the Chu family. After breaking up the marriage between Qin Zongheng and Chu Xuanyue, he also said that their ancestral grave was a land for fairies and asked them to kill him.
If it were not for this damned old man, he would not have been separated from his mother.
He had not taken revenge on him and how dare he cause so much trouble for Qi Waner? At this moment, he had already decided to kill this man.
Besides, the Qi family was forcing Qi Waner to marry Zhao Hongkun, which made him furious.
He hated this kind of arranged marriage and it was due to corrupt customs driven by interests that his family was destroyed and he became an orphan since he was still a child. He had not found his father until now.
"I'm going to bring some people and take Wan'er back. I'll kill everyone who dares to stop me!"
Qin Haodong said in great anger.
After he finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave. Hu Xiaoxian immediately stopped him and said, "Haodong, calm down. It's not appropriate for you to do so."
Qin Haodong said angrily, "Don't worry. With my current strength, I don't care about the Qi family at all."
He was very confident now. Lin Momo, Nalan Wushuang, Nalan Wuxia, Feng Wu and Hu Xiaoxian standing in front of him were all at the ninth-level of the Supreme Power Realm. Any of them could defeat the two ninth-level masters of the Seven Great Families. Besides, he had also had the support of the Cihang Sword House.
Moreover, he was also in charge of the Daddy Security Company and had a hundred supreme power masters under his control. They were extremely powerful, no matter where they were.
Hu Xiaoxian explained, "I'm not worried about your strength, but it's not appropriate for you to do so."
"Why not? I can't just let them force her into marriage."
Hu Xiaoxian said, "Have you ever thought why Qin Zongheng chose to wander for so many years if he is able to solve everything by using force?
"I believe that he must have already reached the Saint level. Neither the Qin family nor the Chu family can defeat him."
Qin Haodong slowly calmed down and asked, "Why?"
Hu Xiaoxian said, "Lovers who do not have their families' blessings can't be happy. This rule applies to both ordinary people and the children of aristocratic families."
"That was the reason why your father was forced to get engaged to Yan Feifei and why Aunt Chu chose not to elope with Qin Zongheng. They always dreamed of getting blessings from their families."
"If you really take Wan'er back by force, she will be totally estranged from her family. Although she can live with you without any complaints or regrets for the rest of her life, this is still not what she wants."
Qin Haodong said with annoyance, "Then what should I do? I can't just let her marry that Zhao guy."
"Don't worry, I've already found a way for you."
There was a sly smile on her face.
Qin Haodong asked eagerly, "Then tell me, what should I do?"
"Just do it in public if you want. If we decide to bring back the bride, we must do it at the venue of the engagement. Only then can we enjoy it."
"Well... Are you sure this will work?"
Qin Haodong did not expect Hu Xiaoxian to come up with such an idea. It seemed to be crazier than his.
"Follow my advice if you're wise enough, " Hu Xiaoxian said confidently, "In aristocratic families, there is no such thing as love and they only care about eternal interests."
"The reason why the Qis chose to marry the Zhaos was because they were powerful and were one of the biggest aristocratic families in the capital.
"On the other hand, Zhao Hongkun was indeed very outstanding. He had reached the fifth level of the Supreme Power Realm at such a young age. He was regarded as another martial arts genius like Qin Zongheng. The master of the Zhao family appreciated him very much and this young man would likely be the heir of the Zhao family in the future.
"But he is no match for you, no matter how outstanding he is. What you need to do now is to let everyone know that you're more powerful than the entire Zhao family.
"As long as you show your strength and let them see the benefits, you can get the approval of the Qi family to marry Wan'er.
"In contrast, taking the bride away in public view is the best way to show your strength."
In fact, Hu Xiaoxian just thought up this plan just now. She had this idea after seeing Qin Haodong's cultivation.
Qin Haodong gradually calmed down after the initial shock of receiving the news. He closed his eyes to think through Hu Xiaoxian's proposal and then he considered the entire plan and the overall situation in the capital.
There would be three tasks for him to carry out this time since his return to the capital. First, he had to stop Qi Waner's marriage and bring her back.
Secondly, he had to integrate the powers of all the big families to fight against the Alien Demon. Thirdly, he had to find his mother and create a happy family for her.
It would be impossible to keep a low profile if he wanted to accomplish these three things. First, he needed great power to destroy their wedding, secondly, he must shock the Chu family, integrate the powers of the aristocratic families and make them follow his orders to reunite with his mother.
Given all these situations, getting Wan'er back through violence was indeed a good way. It could achieve three of his goals in a simple, direct and effective way. At the same time, it also allowed him to enter the capital in a high-profile way and rise above the Seven Great Families.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Let's get ready for it."
Since he had already made up his mind, he took Hu Xiaoxian back to his home, gathered Lin Momo and the others together and discussed how to enter the capital in a high-profile way.
Nalan Wushuang and Nalan Wuxia sat together. It was obvious that they had talked about it and reached a good conclusion, which made Qin Haodong secretly relieved.
After introducing Hu Xiaoxian to Feng Wu, she told them about Qi Waner's forced marriage and his plans to rescue the bride.
He had been a little worried that the other girls might object due to jealousy after he told them about the plan, but it turned out that he was wrong. There was excitement in their eyes as they displayed great interested in it.
He licked his lips and asked, "This is my plan. What do you think?"
Hu Xiaoxian was the one who came up with this idea, so of course she would not object to it.
Feng Wu did not say anything. She just nodded, but her attitude was very obvious. She would do everything Qin Haodong wanted because the orders of the Sage were above everything else.
Lin Momo said, "Wan'er is our sister and we can't just watch her suffer."
Nalan Wushuang said, "I agree with Sister Momo."
There was a flash of excitement on Nalan Wuxia's face and she said, "It's exciting, just thinking about it. I'll ask my family to marry me off and then you can come and rescue me in public."
Qin Haodong was speechless. It was enough to try and steal a bride away once and he did not want to do it once again.
Since they all agreed to his plan of getting the bride away, he then told them everything about entering the capital. After careful discussion, he decided that Lin Momo would stay in Shanghai for the time being. After all, there were still many affairs to be dealt with and someone he trusted must stay here to handle them.
Originally, Qin Haodong planned to enter the capital three years later. But now Chu Xuanyue and the Alien Demon forced him to carry out the plan in advance.
Except for Lin Momo, all the others would follow Qin Haodong to the capital, including the Daddy Security Company. They had three days to prepare for it.
Three days later, they were going to create a huge surprise for the aristocratic families in the capital.
