Chapter 18 She is now one of us at home

  "Pick up sister? Brother Wu, what are you talking about? I'm a bit confused." Zhang Shan said lightly tapping the armrest of his chair with a puzzled expression.

  Wu Qiming's smile froze: "Third Master, you're joking. My sister left home last night and our servants saw her enter your mansion."

  He paused for a moment before continuing: "I had some engagements last night and knew it was already too late by the time I finished, so as not to disturb your esteemed household's rest, I came to pay my respects today."

  "She was being watched from the moment she left home? Being guarded like a thief by her family, it's really..." Zhang Shan thought to himself, deeply sympathizing with Wu Xueyue's situation.

  He suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Since Brother Wu has made it clear, we might as well discuss this matter."

  "What instructions does Third Young Master have?" Wu Qiming was momentarily unaware of what he was getting at.

  In his mind, since he came to the door to take someone away, and the Zhang family no longer had a marriage contract with the Wu family, it was only natural that they couldn't detain the person. It should be no problem to get his sister back.

  Zhang Shan coughed and said, "Yesterday evening, Snow Moon Miss brought the marriage certificate to my house and said she wanted to marry my second brother and formally become a member of the Zhang family. Does Brother Wu know about this?"

  "What?"

  Wu Qiming was shocked and suddenly jumped up from his chair: "How is this possible, did Third Master make a mistake?"

  Zhang Shan reached out and took the marriage certificate from Zhang Cheng's hand, unfolding it in front of Wu Qiming: "There is a marriage certificate here, this matter will not be fake."

  Wu Qiming's eyes narrowed, recognizing that it was indeed the marriage certificate exchanged between the Wu and Zhang families in the past, with his father's signature and seal on it.

  He thought for a moment and knew that his sister must have hidden it, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he couldn't help but curse: "This cheap woman!"

  Zhang Shan's face sank after hearing this: "Brother Wu, what do you mean by this? Although she is your sister, she is also my second brother's fiancée. Please be careful with your words."

  "Wu Qiming suppressed the anger in his heart: 'Third Master, after Second Master passed away three years ago, your esteemed family returned the marriage certificate to my family and proactively dissolved the engagement. So, the engagement is no longer valid.'"

  Zhang Shan shook his head: "At that time, my family was indeed afraid of delaying Miss Xueyue's lifelong happiness, so we returned the marriage certificate and said that whether to cancel the engagement or not would be decided by Miss Xueyue herself."

  "Now that she has brought the marriage certificate and explicitly stated her intention to fulfill this engagement, our Zhang family will naturally not object. With the marriage certificate in hand, this engagement is naturally valid."

  Wu Qiyue's face completely turned cold: "Matters of marriage, of course, are decided by elders. What rights does a girl from a humble family have to decide? Moreover, Second Master is no longer here."

  "That's wrong, when a girl is at home, she naturally listens to her parents' words, but since she has made an engagement with my family, even if my second brother is gone, she is still a member of the Zhang family."

  Wu Qiming's expression hesitated, knowing that Zhang Shan was right. His mind racing, he suddenly spoke up: "I wonder if I can ask my sister to come out and see you?"

  Zhang Shan thought for a moment, and decided that the best way to dispel his illusions was to let Wu Xueyue explain things clearly in person.

  He then instructed: "Xiang Shu, you go and tell Xue Yue about the situation here, then ask her to come over and explain clearly."

  Zhang Cheng nodded and left the hall. Soon after, he led Wu Xueyue over. Xiao Suxin seemed to be a bit uneasy and followed them over together.

  Wu Xueyue supported Xiao Suixin as she sat down at the head of the table, then stood beside her with her head lowered, not even glancing at her older brother who was sitting not far away.

  She was heartbroken for her family members who ruthlessly pushed themselves into the fire pit to fawn over the young master of that big family.

  Wu Qiming coughed awkwardly and said to Wu Xuemei, "Xuemei, let's go home first and discuss this slowly, what do you think?"

  Wu Xueyue raised her head and said lightly: "Go home? Go back to that home?"

  Wu Qiming forced a smile and persuaded: "Xueyue, stop making trouble, of course you'll return to the Wu family."

  "Go back and force you to serve that perverted Shentu young master? I'd rather die." Wu Xueyue said sorrowfully.

  "Is Lord Shentu young? Could it be that he is from one of the four great families, the Shentu family?"

  Zhang Shan's heart moved, "If it's this Shentu family, then this matter probably won't be a problem."

  Wu Qiming's face changed, and he hastily glanced at the guard behind him before scolding: "Xue Yue, what nonsense are you talking about? Shen Tu is a talented young master, a dragon among men. He has taken a liking to you, it's your good fortune."

  Wu Xueyue's eyes flashed with sorrow, and her voice turned cold: "Then thank him for his kindness. Go back and tell him that I was born a Zhang, and I will die a Zhang. Let him give up on this idea."

  Wu Qiming flew into a rage after hearing this: "Don't think that just because you've run to the Zhang family, I won't be able to do anything to you. The Shentu family is one of the four major families in Qingyang City, and with just one finger, I can crush the entire Zhang family to dust."

  It was indeed the Shentu family, Zhang Shan thought to himself. However, thinking that he was now the chief disciple of the Xuantian Academy, even if the Shentu family had a lot of power, they wouldn't dare to make a move against him without reason.

  Xiao Suixin furrowed her brow at this time, as Wu Xueyue had not mentioned earlier that she was being considered by the young master of the Shentu family.

  The prestige of the Shentu family was well-known in Qingyang City, and Xiao Su naturally understood that it was a giant entity that couldn't be compared to the small Zhang family.

  Wu Xueyue's keen sense detected Xiao Suixin's abnormality, and her heart suddenly felt a sense of panic. It was only then that she realized, facing the powerful Shen family, if the Zhang family was intimidated by their influence and didn't intend to protect themselves, what would they do?

  Wu Qiming saw Xiao Suixin's expression and burst out laughing: "Haha, are you scared? I say Xueyue, why don't you ask Mrs. Xiao, in front of the Shentu family, dare the Zhang family not protect you?"

  Zhang Shan's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward, kicking Wu Qiming out: "I, Zhang, am not afraid of the Shentu family. Besides, you're not even a dog in the Shentu household, yet you dare to bark at my mother?"

  Wu Qiming crashed into the doorsill with a thud, and cried out in pain: "You actually hit me? Gentlemen, did you both see that?"

  Those two silent warriors who had been standing behind Wu Qiming exchanged a glance and stepped forward.

  One of them coldly said to Zhang Shan, "The woman our young master has taken a liking to, you dare to snatch? If you know what's good for you, let Miss Wu leave with us. Otherwise, if you anger our young master, he'll wipe out your entire family."

  "How arrogant, how overbearing! Two insignificant martial artists at the fifth level of Qi Wu Jing dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? Do you believe I can take down one of you with just a single kick?" Zhang Shan sneered.

  He was scolded by him as a despicable person, and the two martial artists suddenly blushed.

  The warrior who had been silent until now stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Shan's nose, saying: "What if your cultivation is higher than ours? We are from the Shen Tu family, dare you try to move us?"

  As soon as the words fell, Zhang Shan let out a cold hum and two leg shadows flew up, kicking the chests of the two men without distinguishing between them.

  "Ah......ah......" Two pained cries, and these two guys were kicked flying out, directly passing through the living room's door, smashing into the courtyard outside.
