The Adventures Of The Young Master

The Su Family couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, they came at the wrong time. However, it would be an insult to return back home right after they just arrived here. Furthermore, wouldn't it show that they were afraid of the devils?

Their family was the second strongest in the whole 5 universes. They would appear cowardly in front of the other party if they decided to leave right away. Besides, it was still unknown whether their daughter would agree. She was still a tender child, and unlike Jin Rou, she was living a free life without any responsibilities. With how they spoiled her rotten and gave all she wanted, they knew that unless she fulfilled her wish, she wouldn't come back home.

All in all, it wasn't a very serious thing that they would think about escaping. With them here, they could aid the Rou Family and that would surely make the other party owe them a debt.

That's the very part where Keisa and Shila Su could get comfortable with. The Rou Family isn't a family that anyone could just toy with. They might be below the level of the Su and the top family, however, even them would get cautious and serious if they wanted to deal with the Rou.

Yanlu Rou could see the changes of expressions of Keisa and Shila. She couldn't help but breath softly. It was understandable. It looked like they tried to pull the Su Family into this muddy waters. But what could they do? Yanlu Rou was willing to do anything just to increase their chances of winning.

After all, thinking about the devils seemed so ominous and uncomfortable even at her level. She might have talked big, but that's just that. She was still preparing for everything so that she could reduce the damage to its minimum point.

Feeling the heavy atmosphere, Syni decided to break the silence and spoke, "Mother, Father. I'll be touring myself in the castle to breathe some fresh air. Is that okay?"

Shila smiled and answered, "Of course. Feel free to do whatever you want. Just don't break anything because we don't have the money to pay for that."

His father didn't let go the chance to change the heavy atmosphere and pulled a joke. It was a wise decision because it was proved effective.

"Please, it's okay. Don't worry about it." Yanlu Rou laughed it out, "You can do whatever you want, Syni'er."

Syni Su bowed and expressed her thanks with a smile and immediately left.

Seeing the disappearing back of their daughter, Keisa was the one who spoke and asked, "Since that's the case, we might as well lend a hand for your family. It's better if we are working together, right?"

"Yes, of course it is!" Yanlu Rou clapped her hands in happiness and said, "The help from you two will greatly be appreciated. We will owe you this one."

Yanlu Rou thought that she would need to negotiate with Shila and Keisa before she got their assistance. After all, they were very busy people and would act like mad dogs if they felt betrayed. Remember, they were the family overseeing the universe called Colossal State. But it looked like the other party greatly understood their situation and even decided to help.

With this, all the cards Yanlu Rou could use during the negotiation just flew towards the sky, useless.

"No need to mention that. We are two family connected deeply together. So of course, we will help up to the extent we can." Shila smiled and said, "Besides, the connection will become deeper, right?"

Xu Rou's brows arched up when she heard this. The 'connection will become deeper' rang a bell in her mind. Her beautiful countenance suddenly shone brightly. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and asked Shila Su. "Brother Shila, can you perhaps enlighten me with what you mean?"

"Oh, Lady Yanlu didn't tell you Sister Xu?" Keisa was the one who spoke instead of Shila. She looked at Yanlu Rou and chuckled, "Lady Yanlu, it seems that you are planning for a surprise."

"Haha. It's not like that." Yanlu Rou waved her hand and said.

"...?" Xu Rou was very confused. Fan Rou wanted to butt in to know what's really the matter but Yanlu Rou already spoke off,

"Xu'er, we are going to betroth Jin'er to Syni'er. They are a match made by the universal heavens itself."

"..." Xu Rou's mind went blank, as well as Fan Rou's. In fact, even Lao Rou was shocked to his core when he heard this.

"You never mentioned something about this to me." Lao Rou complained with an irritated voice after calming down.

"I want to announce it when Jin Rou was already here, but time isn't letting me to. So I spilled out the good beans." Yanlu Rou smiled, crossing her fingers.

It turned out that this plan was secretly carried by Yanlu behind the shadows. She wanted to have her family more power and authority to pacify and remove the weeds in the council. With Jin Rou marrying the princess of the Su Family of another universe, the Rou's standing would rise dramatically and would surely make the opposing faction in the council shut their traps. After all, not everyone was in favor of coronating Jin Rou as the celestial king.

"You didn't talk anything about this to us, Mother." Fan Rou's voice was cold enough to chill anyone hearing it, "What is the meaning of this?"

"The meaning of this? It is for the betterment of our family, Fan. Are you perhaps questioning my ways?" Yanlu Rou's voice was turning cold, too.

"I, indeed, am." Fan Rou didn't back down and said with determination, "We are Jin'er's parents so you should have consulted us with this. It's an important matter, after all."

"I have the right to decide what's the course to be taken by Jin'er for the best possible results." Yanlu Rou was irritated now and retorted, "I have the highest authority here in our family so I can do as I say."
