AST 1855 - Taichi Cloudhand, a balance between gentle and tough (1/2)

All along, Qing Shui was watching from the side. He was observing the courteous, mature man who could have a daughter like Sheng Jun.

“Jun`Er, Biao`Er really likes you. I assure you that he loves you from his heart. I really hope that you can find happiness.” The courteous man looked at Sheng Jun as he explained slowly. Deep down, he wasn’t really happy.

No fathers would want to see their daughters unhappy, but things were simply out of his control. If it wasn’t because he didn’t have a way, he wouldn’t have agreed to it.

Aristocratic Clans would also have helpless things which they had to face. There would always be clans more powerful than their own. Hence, the only thing that they could do was to continue climbing up.

“But I don’t like him. I don’t want to get married to him.” Sheng Jun said softly.

She was the pride of her clan. In time, her achievement would also have no bound. At one point, the courteous man had also thought that she could be a pillar of strength for the clan. Unfortunately, the Heaven Star Immortal Sect wasn’t a sect they could mess with. Let alone they were also greatly indebted to the sect which had saved their entire clan before.

The marriage was set before Sheng Jun was born, hence, it couldn’t be considered as a sort of scheme. Rather, it’s more of a coincidence. But regardless of what it was, since it was something that was already set, even if they intended to go back on their words, this man hasn’t had the slightest idea on how to do it. Lian Chengbiao has already said that he wouldn’t marry anybody else but Jun`Er.

Lian Chengbiao was the genius of Liancheng Clan. Though he wasn’t the eldest son, he held a unique position in Liancheng Clan. He was regarded highly by the seniors of his clan. Hence, the things which he said would still possess a degree of weight.

Actually, Lian Chengbiao was already married to a few women. But he still said something like he would marry no one but Sheng Jun. If Qing Shui had known about that, he would think that this man was even more shameless than himself.

“Do you really want to make other people lose faith in your father? Parents had the responsibility to match their children to their other half. Feelings can be nurtured once you guys get married. Everyone has their own destiny and responsibility. Sometimes, you can’t just do whatever you want. In this world, everyone is bound to face helpless situations. We just have to get adapted to it.” The courteous man looked at Sheng Jun and said gently.

“As a father, it doesn’t matter if you are using your daughter’s happiness for your own gains, the moment you decided to do this, you have lost your title as a good father. You fail as a father, or rather, you are not fit to be one.” At this moment, Qing Shui revealed a faint smile.

Qing Shui’s words were quite unexpected. Many people didn’t view Qing Shui as a significant person. They thought that he was just Sheng Jun’s servant. No matter how good he might look, when in front of Sheng Jun, a mere handsome look wasn’t considered as any significant asset.

“Who are you? What right do you have to speak here?” Lian Chengbiao looked at Qing Shui and said in an arrogant tone.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. A man isn’t considered a man when he demands and forces people to return any sorts of favors. Do you agree with what I say?” Qing Shui moved his sight onto Liancheng Biao. He didn’t have any good feelings on the man who seemed infatuated in love.

Usually, there would still be some good points about an infatuated person. However, in the case of this man, it didn’t matter whether he was infatuated or not. It’s very hard for anyone to have good feelings for him with how he was behaving at the moment.

“Our marriage was set since a long time ago. Who do you think you are? One more word and I will kill you.” Lian Chengbiao seemed to hold a lot of grudges against Qing Shui. If it wasn’t because of Sheng Jun, he would have very likely tried to eliminate him.

“Nope. I don’t think that you are capable of killing me. Oh, one more thing, she will never get married to you. Let me be honest with you, you aren’t suited for her. I remember a saying, I think it’s something like ‘a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh’.” Qing Shui said in an indifferent tone.

“Who are you? What relationship do you share with Sister Jun?” Lian Chengbiao was carefully probing Qing Shui this time. He felt that this man wasn’t just some ordinary brat.

“We are very great friends.” Qing Shui smiled deep down. To think that this man was already starting to lose his cool.

Qing Shui’s words made Lian Chengbiao even more upset. If Qing Shui had told him that he was Sheng Jun’s boyfriend, he might not be convinced by it. He also wouldn’t be angry because he knew that Sheng Jun wouldn’t just commit herself to a man that easily.

But if they were very great friends, he would instead feel insecure about it. Friends, especially best friends, when it was between a man and a woman. The possibility of them turning into a couple was very huge.
