Chapter 277 - Negotiating a Wedding (1/2)
Zhong Gang's mood lifted immediately. Such a good man! He would really make a fine husband for his daughter! He definitely had to make sure nothing would go wrong!
He scrambled over to the tea table but noticed that both seat cushions were already taken. Well, whatever. He just sat down directly on the floor and looked at Xiao Li with sparkling eyes.
”No need to repay anything with blood. Marrying her is fine. So … When should the wedding be held?” He silently pondered how much of a delay he could accept. With how fast his daughter managed to fall in love, it shouldn't be more than a week.
Xiao Li obviously noticed how eager he was to marry his daughter off and since he still pretended to be a righteous cultivator who would take his promises very seriously he knew he couldn't give a long amount of time. ”How about three days?”
”Three … days?” Zhong Gang's eyes went wide. He had first thought that the man would suggest three weeks but now it turned out he wanted to marry Guanyu even sooner than expected? It couldn't be that he had also fallen in love with her?
Zhong Gang pondered it a bit more. It wasn't completely impossible. Guanyu was a pretty girl and always dressed well. As long as she didn't interact too much with him so that he couldn't find out about her personality that wasn't quite up to par it was indeed possible that he had fallen in love with her.
If that was the case, he had to strike as fast as possible!
”Three days sounds good to me. How about having the wedding in the morning? I heard someone on the streets saying today that that would be an auspicious hour for nearly anything.”
Xiao Li just nodded. Honestly, he just wanted to get it over with this negotiation. He wouldn't marry her anyway.
Zhong Gang grew a little suspicious. Could it really be this easy? ”Then … is there anything else?”
Xiao Li narrowed his eyes. ”Well, you see, I'm from the Yun Zou Sect. So we'd have to hold the wedding here in the city. Would that be a problem?”
A glint flashed through Zhong Gang's eyes. This man was from the Yun Zou Sect? He looked at the white robe. Well, he really looked like a cultivator … This was terrific! How did his daughter have that much luck this time?! She was actually about to marry a cultivator!
He hastily put on a smile and rubbed his hands. ”Heh, no problem at all, no problem at all. We'll just have the wedding at our house.”
”Mn. That would be great. I guess I should also inform my Master and I still need to organize some presents. Would it be too much to ask of you to prepare the wedding on your own?” Xiao Li timely put on a troubled expression again.
