Chapter 1160: Chapter 1161 Tricked
After a short while, the two had already arrived at the entrance of the villa. He Lingzhi was still thinking about what had just happened, completely oblivious as she walked into the hall, as if she were entranced.
Everyone in the hall was looking at Song Xiaodong and He Lingzhi, and no one spoke. He Lingzhiâs status in the He family was quite special; she was indeed a treasured daughter. With just her martial skills alone, the He family couldnât help but take her seriously.
Moments ago, He Lingzhi had fiercely called Song Xiaodong out, and they all really wanted to know what had happened between the two.
However, seeing Song Xiaodong and He Lingzhi having no signs of being injured, everyone couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief, especially the He family members. They were really afraid that He Lingzhi might have injured Song Xiaodong, which would be quite embarrassing.
Song Xiaodong led He Lingzhi to the side of the elder and then directly pulled her by the waist to sit down.
Seeing Song Xiaodongâs hand on He Lingzhiâs waist, the He family members felt a tense sensation in their hearts. They were worried that in the next moment, He Lingzhi would suddenly lose her temper and start hitting Song Xiaodong.
But things did not go as they had imagined. He Lingzhi unexpectedly sat down obediently without any reaction, as if she had been hypnotized by Song Xiaodong.
The He family members were all wide-eyed at this moment, looking at Song Xiaodong as if they were seeing a monster.
Even Old Master He was somewhat dumbfounded, but he was the first to react, and a smile appeared on his face. This He Lingzhi was not only an important figure in the family but also a bit of a rebel. Her marriage was truly a headache for the family.
They had previously introduced a few people from big families through arranged marriages to He Lingzhi. However, after meeting her, the other parties all declined. He Lingzhi secretly beat them quite badly.
Who in any big family would dare to marry such a tigress?
"Little Song, much respect!" Old Master He gave Song Xiaodong a thumbs up.
Song Xiaodong responded with a modest smile, saying, "Elder, youâre too kind."
Old Master He laughed heartily and said, "It seems you two got along quite well, really well. Then thereâs no problem with your engagement."
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Of course thereâs no problem. I sincerely came to propose; it just depends on how you see it, Elder."
Old Master He laughed heartily and said, "We certainly have no objections. A marriage alliance between your Su Family and our He family is a wonderful thing. Letâs pick an auspicious day and get it done soon."
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Then please, Elder, take the lead."
Old Master He looked at He Lingzhi with a smile and asked, "Lingzhi, you have no objections, right?"
"No!" He Lingzhi replied casually.
This was simply an instinctive response; she didnât even understand what the Elder was saying. Her mind was completely immersed in pondering Song Xiaodongâs strange movement technique from before.
She was so young and already possessed such martial skills, showing how obsessed and serious she was about Kung Fu. Witnessing Song Xiaodongâs ghostly movement technique earlier felt like discovering a treasure, and her entire mind was occupied with figuring out how Song Xiaodong did it.
She didnât even realize she had just unwittingly agreed to the engagement.
The He family members were all overjoyed, and Old Master He immediately said, "Then itâs settled."
Everyone came over to congratulate Song Xiaodong and He Lingzhi.
Even though Song Xiaodong and He Lingzhi were becoming husband and wife, making Song Xiaodong the son-in-law of the He familyâs younger generation, he still held the position of the Su Family Head. As such, even He Lingzhiâs father had to treat Song Xiaodong with respect, possibly even as a junior.
This is a kind of messed-up account, as these big families often value status more, and when it comes to familial affection, they are not that concerned.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, He Lingzhi shot up without saying a word and dashed out, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Old Master He laughed heartily and said, "Lingzhi is embarrassed, haha, that girl."
Song Xiaodong chuckled to himself. He was well aware of He Lingzhiâs reaction. Earlier, he had deliberately used such a movement technique to provoke He Lingzhi, and it worked remarkably well.
In fact, this wasnât some miraculous movement technique on Song Xiaodongâs part; it was due to his perception ability. No matter how He Lingzhi moved, she must exert force. Song Xiaodongâs perception ability allowed him to easily grasp her movements, naturally knowing how she would act.
Furthermore, given that Song Xiaodong was stronger than her, knowing her actions allowed him to shadow her effortlessly, a method that He Lingzhi couldnât comprehend even if she studied it for a lifetime.
Following that, the He family held a grand banquet to warmly host the Su Family members.
The Su Family members were all extraordinarily excited. This was a dream they never thought possible before; being guests of honor at one of the top ten big families in Beijing and being treated so warmly.
They were filled with immense anticipation for the future of the Su Family and held great admiration for Song Xiaodong as the Family Head.
What does it matter if Song Xiaodongâs surname isnât Su? Didnât he lead the Su Family to its peak, still earning othersâ respect and bringing extensive benefits to every Su Family member?
He Lingzhi did not attend the banquet, and someone went to invite her, but she was already engrossed in practicing the movement technique. It was fortunate she didnât come out to hit someone when disturbed at this time.
The He family was already accustomed to He Lingzhiâs behavior. Calling her once without a response, no one bothered her further. After all, she had already agreed to the marriage, and the other details were not crucial.
He Qingsong, as He Lingzhiâs father, came with his wife to see He Lingzhi after the banquet. Though they were happy about their daughterâs forthcoming marriage, there was still a tinge of reluctance, so they wanted a good talk with He Lingzhi.
"Lingzhi, whatâs gotten into you?" Seeing He Lingzhi jumping and running on an empty space, her mother came to grab her hand, asking nervously.
Seeing her mother, He Lingzhi finally stopped and said, "Mom, nothingâs wrong; Iâm just practicing."
"Oh my child, youâre about to get married; why are you still working so hard on practicing? You should learn how to be a good wife."
He Lingzhi rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, marry whom? Iâm not marrying that bastard."
"What? Didnât you agree to it in front of everyone today?" He Qingsongâs face darkened. Such a reversal wasnât the style of the He family.
"What? When did I agree?" He Lingzhi looked puzzled.
He Qingsong simply recounted the incident to her.
"Ah!" He Lingzhi was momentarily frozen, then suddenly shouted angrily, "Song Xiaodong, you bastard, I fell for it!"
