The Genius System Without Equal - Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Something unexpected

When she saw Xiao Luo’s fierce scowl, Gu Qianlin lost her nerve and backed away silently. IT was nothing more than bravado when she said that she wasn’t afraid of Xiao Luo. How could an ordinary police officer like her stand up to the likes of a fearsome fighter like Xiao Luo?

Tianshan Elder was questioning Gu Qianxue about her relationship with Xiao Luo in the cave.

“Little Snow, tell your master the truth—do you like the little brat out there?” Tianshan Elder asked in a concerned tone. She didn’t sound like she was going to reprimand Gu Qianxue.

Gu Qianxue’s face turned a little red, and after thinking about it briefly, she nodded her head, and admitted her feelings to her master, “Mm.”

“When did this happen, why did I never hear you mentioning it?” Tianshan Elder said and furrowed her eyebrows a little.

“It was during the period when I joined the academy to be a police officer after I left the mountains.”

Gu Qianxue pursed her red lip, then knelt and begged, “Master, please help him. I’m begging you!”

Tianshan Elder looked at her firmly, then sighed and said, “You silly girl. You’re already kneeling and begging for him. It seems like this is fate. Fine, fine, I’ll help him then.”

“Thank you, Master! I’m so grateful, thank you, Master!” Gu Qianxue happily said.

“But I have a condition—the both of you have to get married,” Tianshan Elder added.

“Get married?”

Gu Qianxue’s eyes were wide opened, and this completely caught her off-guard.

“Why? Are you not willing to? Didn’t you just say that you like him?” Tianshan Elder furrowed her eyebrows.

“I do like him, but… but…”

Gu Qianxue said with her head down, “Master, he’s already married.”

Tianshan Elder stared at her, “So what if he’s married? Doesn’t every man out there have at least three wives and four concubines?”

“Master, we’re not living in ancient times anymore.”

Gu Qianxue replied softly. She knew that her master’s mindset was still trapped in that ancient society.

“I don’t care what era it is. If you want me to help him, then he’ll have to marry you. If your father has any other opinion regarding this matter, then ask him to come to Tianshan and meet me personally. I’ve already decided for you regarding this matter.”

Tianshan Elder slapped her thighs and stood up. She grabbed Gu Qianxue’s hand, “Let’s go, we’ll discuss with that little brat now!”

“Master, Master…”

Gu Qianxue was being forcefully dragged out of the cave, and expecting how her master was going to discuss her marriage, she became bashful and her face turned red.

“That little brat has been kneeling there for seven days and nights. He didn’t even drink or eat. I admire him. A man like him is worthy of being with my disciple,” Tianshan Elder said as she dragged Gu Qianxue outside.

BOOM!

The cave doors opened.

Tianshan Elder dragged the red-faced Gu Qianxue out and walked toward Xiao Luo.

Speaking in an old-fashioned manner, she said, “You stinky little brat, do you want me to give you a way out?”

“Elder, please instruct me,” Xiao Luo responded and his eyes glowed with delight.

Tianshan Elder pulled Gu Qianxue to the front, and said, “Marry this girl, and I will help you increase your powers.”

Gu Qianxue was too embarrassed to show her face and hid behind her master like a little fawn in shock. Although her cheeks were feeling warm, she was inwardly delighted and even felt a tinge of excitement.

Marry Gu Qianxue?

Xiao Luo was completely stunned. He looked at Gu Qianxue, still was hiding behind Tianshan Elder, and didn’t know what to say in reply.

“No way! How can my younger sister marry him? He’s already married, this is impossible. Tianshan Elder, you might be my younger sister’s master, but you don’t have the right to make such arrangements for her. This is going to affect her life. You need to get the approval of my parents and me,” Gu Qianlin blurted out as she lost control of her emotions. She never thought that the situation would turn out this way, and there was no way she was allowing her younger sister to marry a man like Xiao Luo. He was a demon who killed without blinking an eye.

“You don’t have the right to say anything here—shut up!”

Tianshan Elder glared at her coldly, then using her fingers to create a force that struck Gu Qianlin’s body.

Gu Qianlin was suddenly unable to move her body, and she couldn’t speak at all. It was as if her entire body was petrified and frozen to one spot. She felt a horrifying chill as she realized this was similar to the kind of Kungfu in martial art dramas that allowed one to strike someone else’s vital point and immobilize that person. Still, it was hard to believe that it was happening in real life, so how could she not be shocked?

“You stinky little brat, are you going to agree to it? Can you hurry up and give me an answer?” Tianshan Elder hissed.

“Elder, I’m already married,” Xiao Luo said.

“Fool, do you think I don’t already know that? You better not take this my consideration for granted. My disciple might not be so pretty that she’d put flowers to shame, nor is she going to cause the fall of an entire city in an instant, but she still a lot more grace, elegance, and beauty than most of the girls on the plains below these mountains. Count yourself lucky that you get to marry her, and you better know where you stand!” Tianshan Elder said.

Gu Qianxue, who was right behind her master, quickly clasped onto her sleeves. Tianshan Elder had leaped so much praise that she was thoroughly embarrassed and felt like digging a hole and hiding in it if she could.

Xiao Luo smiled ruefully and said, “It’s just like you said—since Qianxue is so much better, I don’t want to taint her qualities. I don’t even dare to have any intimate thoughts toward her, instead, I’m asking for your forgiveness.”

“Forgiveness, my foot! You stinky little brat, you better learn to be grateful. I’ve already said that as long as you marry my disciple, I’ll help you to increase your powers. Otherwise, I don’t care even if you kneel till you die, I won’t help you no matter what,” Tianshan Elder declared.

Xiao Luo was in a pickle, for although he had only mentioned his marriage to Su Li, there was also Ji Siying, and recently, the Lady Poison too. So, there was no way he could mislead Gu Qianxue since she was such a good girl. But Tianshan Elder had already made it clear, and he just couldn’t seem to make a decision right now.

“He promises, junior sister, I’ll say it on his behalf!”

At that moment, Elder Long jauntily walked toward Xiao Luo from the makeshift shelter.

Like a follower, Xiao Quanren followed behind Elder Long, and when he reached Xiao Luo, he lowered himself and whispered into his ear, “Luo, listen to old grandfather and just accept her hand in marriage. She is, after all, such a good girl. When Old Grandfather was around your age, I had over ten girls around me, so compared to me, you are miles behind.”

“Old grandfather, I…”

Xiao Luo was honestly speechless. He looked at his senior and thought—well; you were living in the feudal society during your youth, so obviously it was alright to have many wives. But that’s not possible now, and my parents raised me to believe in monogamy, so there’s no way I’d change my ways.

“Junior Sister, one look at both these babies’ faces and you can tell that they’re a match made in heaven. It is fated that they’ll rely on one another, so I will decide for him—marry. Let’s have these two babies married today, and they can solemnize their vows in the bridal chamber tonight.”

Elder Long announce, then introduced Xiao Quanren to Tianshan Elder. “This person here is Xiao Luo’s Old Grandfather and can be considered as a parent to him. With him around, it doesn’t matter even if Xiao Luo doesn’t agree to it.”

“Is that so? Why are behaving like a pimp?” Tianshan Elder sneered.

“Junior sister, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by behaving like a pimp? I’m pairing up a match that was made in heaven. This is God’s decree,” Elder Long retorted.

“Huh!”

Tianshan Elder said nothing. She turned around and left with Gu Qianxue, chuckling to herself.
