Early the next morning, Mo Yu and the others got up unusually early, as they had important matters to attend to.
With Qing Lin's help, Mo Yu finished dressing without any issues.
Although Mo Yu had previously instructed Qing Lin not to trouble herself serving him, the young girl seed to always rember her role as his maid. She diligently attended to Mo Yu, leaving him sowhat helpless.
"Let's go and settle the matter with the Liu family regarding Xue i."
Walking out of the room with Qing Lin, Mo Yu coincidentally saw Xue i and Lin Fei leaving their rooms as well. Mo Yu smiled lightly.
"Xue i, don't be nervous. Mo Yu will help you successfully call off the engagent. In terms of skill, he's an outstanding weapon refiner. In terms of combat, he has a fourth-tier battle pet. If the Liu family has any sense, they won't force you to marry the second young master of the Liu family," Lin Fei comforted, noticing a trace of nervousness in Xue i.
"Hmm, I'm fine, Lin Fei." Hearing Lin Fei's words, Xue i breathed a sigh of relief. She then turned to Mo Yu and said, "I'll be troubling you with this, Mo Yu."
"No need to be polite. I've been entrusted with this task and will complete it. Master Frank has given quite a reward, so this is my duty," Mo Yu replied calmly.
Seeing Mo Yu's composed deanor, Xue i couldn't help but feel more confident about breaking off the engagent.
After so brief small talk, the group packed their belongings and, after settling their lodging fees, left the inn.
Before leaving, Mo Yu easily inquired about the location of the Liu family residence in Western Wasteland City from the innkeeper.
Being the most prominent family in Western Wasteland City and the surrounding region, the Liu family's na was widely known. Almost everyone in the city was aware of the Liu family's reputation.
Following the innkeeper's directions, Mo Yu and his group crossed several bustling streets. After wandering around the city for half an hour, they finally arrived at the Liu family residence, located in the city center.
Looking at the grand and luxurious manor, which resembled a palace, Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel at the Liu family's wealth. Compared to the fortress-like Mo family headquarters, the Liu family estate seed extravagant and impressive.
As they approached the entrance of the Liu family manor, Mo Yu and his companions were stopped by the guards stationed at the gate. "This is the Liu family of Western Wasteland City. Do you have an invitation from the family head?" one of the guards asked.
"An invitation?" Hearing this, Mo Yu shifted his gaze to Xue i beside him.
"Please inform your family head that Xue i from the Xue family of Dawn Sun City is here to see him," Xue i's cool voice rang out.
The Xue family from Dawn Sun City, Xue i's family, was located north of Western Wasteland City. The Xue family's influence was similar to that of the Liu family, as they also had a Dou Ling expert in their ranks. Mo Yu had heard from Frank that the Xue and Liu families had a life-saving bond between their previous generation heads, which led to the arrangent of a betrothal between the two families.
On the other side, the Liu family guards exchanged glances when they saw such a beautiful young woman speaking. Whether it was her aura or because they had heard of the Xue family, one of the guards quickly rushed inside to report the news.
Seeing this, Mo Yu and the others exchanged glances and patiently waited.
As ti slowly passed, half an hour had gone by. Just as Lin Fei began to pout in dissatisfaction, the Liu family's gate opened once again, and an elderly man with a kindly expression stepped out.
"Hehe, I am the steward of the Liu family. May I ask which one of you is Miss Xue i?" the old man asked. His cloudy eyes swept over Mo Yu and his group before finally resting on the three girls.
The three girls had equally outstanding temperants, and the steward only knew that the woman engaged to the second young master of the Liu family was nad Xue i. Since he hadn't seen her in person before, he asked this question.
"Steward Liu, I am Xue i." Xue i stepped forward and handed over a jade pendant.
This pendant was a token of the engagent between the Liu and Xue families, gifted by the previous Liu family head to the Xue family as a symbol of their agreent.
The steward carefully examined the pendant, his old eyes narrowing slightly. After confirming its authenticity, he respectfully returned it to Xue i and smiled, "Miss Xue i, it is an honor to have you here. The family head and others are waiting for you in the main hall. Please, co inside."
"These are my friends. They can co in too, right?" Xue i gestured to Mo Yu and the others.
"Of course. Miss Xue i is the future lady of the Liu family. Her friends are naturally welco in our ho as well." The steward glanced at Lin Fei and Qing Lin before finally settling his gaze on Mo Yu, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
In his opinion, as the future wife of the Liu family's second young master, Xue i should maintain a proper distance from other n. This would be in line with the dignity of a noblewoman and the future daughter-in-law of the Liu family.
It seems he should advise the family head to expedite the marriage. The daughter-in-law of the Liu family only needs to stay at ho and take care of the household.
Mo Yu noticed the displeasure in the steward's eyes and vaguely guessed the old man's thoughts. However, since he was here to help Xue i break off the engagent, he didn't care about these opinions.
After entering the Liu family estate, they followed the steward through the front yard.
The Liu family's residence was vast, and its environnt was extrely elegant. After a few minutes, they finally stopped outside the solemn guest hall. The steward respectfully knocked on the door before pushing it open gently.
The hall was spacious, and there were quite a few people inside. Seated at the head of the hall was a middle-aged man with a stern face and square features.
The middle-aged man exuded a strong aura. Just by sitting there, he commanded attention. He was none other than Liu Ye, the current head of the Liu family and a two-star Dou Ling.
Seated to his left were several elders of the Liu family who held significant power. Each of them had impressive auras as well, all of them being Da Dou Shi. Beside them were so of the younger generation of the Liu family.
Particularly eye-catching was a young man on the far left, with a handso appearance and a tall, upright figure. His charm drew the attention of several Liu family girls, whose gazes would occasionally linger on him.
However, the young man ignored these glances, his eyes cold and indifferent.
This man was the second young master of the Liu family, Liu Xing.
As the steward led Mo Yu and his group into the hall, the eyes of the Liu family mbers turned towards them. They were all well aware of the arranged marriage between the Liu and Xue families. Hearing of Xue i's arrival, many had co to catch a glimpse of the future mistress of the Liu family.
Everyone knew that after the eldest son's early death, the Liu family's inheritance would inevitably pass to the second young master.
Thus, as Mo Yu and his companions entered, the Liu family mbers scrutinized them with curiosity, observation, and evaluation.
At that mont, the young man on the left slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the tall and beautiful silver-haired Xue i, a glint of possessiveness flashed in his gaze.
"Family head, Miss Xue i and her friends have arrived," the steward announced respectfully.
