There was something wrong with my past life

Chapter 370: This is the only life, and I cannot give generously to those I don’t love.

In the meeting hall of the Oriental Family.

Many clan elders were sitting in front of the sandalwood round table, discussing enthusiastically the matter of marriage with the Nangong family in the next few days. After all, this was a top priority that symbolized the formal marriage between the two families.

Although there had been precedents of intermarriage between the four major aristocratic families in the past, they were only side branches of the family that were not on the stage. They were incomparable with the current situation of orthodox direct marriages. The young master of Nangong was not only a rare cultivator in a thousand years. He is a prodigy, and will surely sit on the throne of the head of the Nangong family in the future. Dongfang Qingyue of his own family is the matron when he marries her, which is completely different from the previous intermarriage.

Regarding this marriage, the Dongfang family is naturally not monolithic, but because the majority of those in favor are in favor, the minority naturally obeys the majority.

In fact, this matter is said to be helpless. Since the death of the ancestor Dongfang many years ago, the Dongfang family has been deteriorating without the ancestor. Although the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, it cannot stand up to a bunch of jackals below and three others above. The big families are watching eagerly, wanting to group them together and divide them.

"I don't want to get married..."

In the noisy meeting hall where they were debating what kind of etiquette should be chosen for getting married in a few days so as to show the profound heritage of the Oriental Aristocratic Family, such a whisper suddenly came.

Although this voice was very small, especially in today's noisy conference hall, because this sentence was very contrary to the atmosphere of the scene, it was like a meteorite hitting a lake, and for a while, the entire conference hall was so quiet that a pin dropped. It was clearly audible when it hit the ground.

All the clan elders stopped talking and looked at the girl in green who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the hall and was always taciturn.

"I won't marry!"

The girl in green who had been sitting quietly stood up slowly and spoke slowly to the clan elders in the hall.

The sunlight filtered through the window sill and reflected on her face, giving her a thrilling beauty.

Compared with the last time, her tone this time had a certain decisiveness, which was as loud as thunder in the now silent meeting hall.

"Qingyue, what are you talking about? The wedding will be in three days..."

Because of these three words, in the hall where everyone was in panic and panic, a highly respected elder from an Eastern family stood up and was the first to speak and wanted to exhort him.

Then before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dongfang Qingyue.

"I know the wedding will be in three days, but I still don't want to get married!"

As this answer was spoken, a wave of waves immediately aroused in the meeting hall. Many clan elders never thought that such a change would happen just before the wedding.

They also did not expect that Dongfang Qingyue, who had always been silent and accepted all the family's arrangements, would stand up and disobey the family's arrangements for the first time, and said such treasonous words that she did not want to marry.

"Why?"

At this time, Dongfang Yanxing, the father of Dongfang Qingyue, asked his daughter sternly with anger.

"Because I don't like the young master of the Nangong family." Dongfang Qingyue looked directly into her father's eyes without fear: "My daughter already has someone she loves, and she only wants to be with the person she likes for the rest of her life!"

Dongfang Yanxing slapped the table: "You bastard! The marriage of your children is decided by the parents and the matchmaker. How can you make the decision privately?"

"But a daughter only has this life, so she really can't give generously to someone she doesn't love!"

"What do you know? Do you know what price the family has paid over the years to cultivate an unfilial daughter like you? Now this marriage with the Nangong family is related to the future destiny of our Dongfang family. If you You have ruined the Nangong family’s reputation by acting your own way, do you know what kind of revenge you will suffer?!”

Hearing this rebuke, Dongfang Qingyue was silent for a moment, then looked at her father and slowly said: "Since she was a child, my daughter has obeyed her parents and family arrangements in all matters, because I know very well I know what kind of price my family has paid to cultivate me. I have never had my own will and lived like a marionette. If I had not met him, I think I would have been like this for the rest of my life. And after meeting him, Only then did I realize that there are so many beautiful things in this world worth looking forward to, and then I realized what the so-called life should be like..."

"...I didn't know what love was before. I only knew that as long as I was with him, I would feel at ease and happy. My heart would not be as empty as before. I would feel that the sun rises and sets, the clouds rise and the clouds rise. This ordinary moonlight is really beautiful, and I am looking forward to tomorrow. At that time, I often thought, if life could stop at this moment forever, if he could always be by my side, it would be great. Later, I slowly understood , this should be the kind of love that is often said in the world, the kind of love that wants to be with the other person for the rest of his life. In the past few days when I returned to my family, I have been thinking about a question. I couldn't be with him anymore. What kind of life would it be without any expectations? Such a result, such a life, I really couldn't accept or endure. So, I decided to make the decision for my life for once, the most important thing. Decide, I won’t marry!”

Having said this, Dongfang Qingyue paused for a moment, glanced at her relatives, including her parents, and the respected elders of the family in the meeting hall, and then continued:

"I, Dongfang Qingyue, will always keep my family's upbringing in mind and will never forget it, and I will definitely do my best to repay everything my family has sacrificed for me over the years... However, this is definitely not through marriage!

Not just because I don’t want to, but because this method of using marriage to enhance the strength of the Dongfang family is wrong in itself! The reason why the Dongfang Family has become one of the four top families is not because of external forces but because of its own strength. Even if it joins the Nangong Family and maintains its status as one of the four top families of the Dongfang Clan, so what, it is just a false name!

Therefore, I will become stronger, become as strong as my master Sword Master, so strong that all the forces will be frightened when they mention my Dongfang family and collapse without a fight, and become the guardian of the name of Dongfang... these , isn’t this your original intention of devoting all your family efforts to cultivate me?

I still remember that when those elders sacrificed their lives to pave the way for my future practice, they all had smiles on their lips when they left. I think these clan elders should have seen in me the future prosperity and glory of the Dongfang family, so they died with a smile. What they saw was Dongfang Qingyue, named after Dongfang, instead of the wife of the head of the Nangong family who would be named after Nangong in the future. Otherwise, those clan elders would know better and die with peace of mind. "

As she spoke these words, the entire meeting hall fell silent.

"I admit that what you said, niece Qingyue, does make some sense, but niece, have you ever thought about what if the Nangong family regrets their marriage and attacks them in this name? By then, the clan will surely have countless casualties and corpses scattered everywhere. !" An elder from Uncle Dongfang Qingyue retorted.

Dongfang Qingyue glanced at him, then at the many clan elders in the hall who were as silent as chickens, and then said:

"If you want to fight, then fight! How can a family that is afraid of blood restore its former glory! Among the four major families today, which family's reputation is not built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"
