Chapter 1575 Don’t Do It

“This… alright then.”

Situ Changkong, cornered, pulled out his phone and said, “Old brother, please wait a moment, I’ll go call that girl.”

As some things were inconvenient to say in public, he took his phone and walked outside the door again.

Huo Dongping and Huo Jian didn’t seem to mind much. In their opinion, as long as they could see Situ Dianmo, all problems would be solved, so whatever Situ Changkong said didn’t matter.

Soon, the call connected, and Situ Dianmo’s cheerful voice came from the other end: “Grandpa, is something wrong?”

“Girl, there’s something big Grandpa needs to tell you…”

Situ Changkong lowered his voice and recounted the entire process of his trip to the Heavenly Palace today, from beginning to end. Finally, he said, “That Huo Jian is coming to find you now, so be prepared.”

On the other end of the phone, Situ Dianmo listened, the smile on her face slowly disappearing, eventually becoming incredibly grim.

This matter was truly too unexpected for her; she never imagined that a marriage engagement would suddenly pop up, and that annoying guy was even coming to her door.

“Grandpa, I don’t acknowledge any engagement. What happened years ago has nothing to do with me.”

Situ Changkong sighed, “Grandpa doesn’t want to acknowledge it either, but the other party’s identity is too special. Now he insists on finding you, so you handle it as you see fit.”

Situ Dianmo said sullenly, “I don’t want to see that person. Don’t let him come. Just tell them they can’t find me.”

“Girl, you can avoid the monk, but you can’t avoid the temple. You can avoid him for a while, but not forever. He’s staying at our house now, so you can’t hide even if you want to. It’s better to resolve it sooner rather than later.”

Situ Dianmo thought about it and realized it was indeed true: “Alright then, since Ye Dage is with me, let that person come. We’re having a picnic here at Yanbo Lake.”

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Situ Changkong put away his phone and returned to the room.

“Grandpa Situ, where is Dianmo now?”

Huo Jian looked anxious. He had already seen Situ Dianmo’s photo and relevant information, and he was extremely satisfied with this woman, wishing he could immediately go and snatch her back.

Situ Changkong said, “Dianmo and Little Fan are having a picnic at Yanbo Lake, 20 li west of the Imperial Capital.”

“Alright then, I’ll go find her now.”

Huo Jian walked out impatiently.

“Huo Jian, when you go, you must speak nicely and absolutely not resort to violence.”

These words were entirely for Huo Jian’s benefit. Situ Changkong was very clear about Ye Bufan’s temper. Even the Young Sect Master of Yunxia Mountain was beaten like a dog, let alone him.

But the Huo Family grandfather and grandson didn’t see it that way. In their opinion, this Old Man was clearly biased towards Ye Bufan, afraid that Huo Jian would injure the other party.

Huo Dongping said discontentedly, “Brother Situ, we’ve already agreed that we shouldn’t meddle in the young people’s affairs. Let them handle it however they want.

We are all Martial Artists, and there’s nothing wrong with resolving problems through force.

If our Huo Jian loses, then he can only blame himself for being inferior, and I, this Old Man, won’t say a word.”

Huo Jian also said nonchalantly, “That’s right. If I lose, this engagement will be automatically dissolved.

If that Ye Bufan is not my opponent, then he should quickly scram, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

After speaking, he strode to the center of the Xuanyuan Pavilion courtyard. To display his cultivation, he directly soared into the air, transforming into a blur and rushing towards the western suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

Watching him leave, Situ Changkong sighed, then shook his head. As things stood, he could only hope that Ye Bufan would go easy.

Huo Dongping, unaware of Situ Changkong’s thoughts, proudly patted his shoulder, “Brother Situ, you don’t need to worry about that kid. Huo Jian knows his limits and definitely won’t take his life.

However, in martial arts sparring, broken arms and legs are inevitable.”

An Daoquan, who had been watching from the side, couldn’t help but say, “It’s best if Lord Huo can think that way.”

Huo Dongping said firmly, “Of course. This is basic common sense and awareness for a Martial Artist. If you can’t defeat others, you can only blame yourself for not being skilled enough.”

On Ye Bufan’s side, when he returned to the Changsun Family, Su Ruyue and the others had already arrived.

Changsun Dongju and Ouyang Lan were both incredibly excited to see their son return, holding his hands and asking about his well-being. Especially upon seeing another foreign daughter-in-law, they were overjoyed.

But after a while, Ouyang Lan said, “You naughty boy, you’ve been out for so many days. Now that you’re finally back, take Ruyue and the others out to play. You don’t need to stay with us two old women anymore.”

“Yes, you go out and play. We’ll have dinner together tonight.”

Changsun Dongju felt the same way. For so many days, she had personally witnessed how much these daughters-in-law missed her son, so naturally, she wanted to give them a chance to reunite.

“Auntie, I won’t go with him. I’ll stay and keep you company.”

As obedient as Lu Banxia was, knowing she had been with Ye Bufan recently, she directly gave up the opportunity.

Alicia also followed, saying, “Auntie, I want to stay too. I want to learn Chinese cooking with you.”

Ouyang Lan held their hands and said happily, “That’s good then. You two stay, and the rest of you go. Remember to come back for dinner tonight.”

Ye Bufan, resigned, could only take Su Ruyue, Wang Xuening, and the others to leave the Changsun Family estate. Ye Tian quietly followed behind them.

After leaving, at Dongfang Huizhong’s suggestion, everyone went to Yanbo Lake in the western suburbs for a picnic.

Just as everyone had prepared the ingredients, Situ Dianmo received the call from Situ Changkong.

After hanging up the phone, seeing her unhappy expression, An Yimo asked, “What’s wrong, little sister? Did something happen?”

Although everyone had heard some fragments earlier, they still didn’t fully understand the specific situation.

“It’s like this, another engagement suddenly popped up for me…”

Situ Dianmo briefly explained the situation.

Wang Xuening said indignantly, “There’s such a shameless person? Knowing you like Ye Dage, he still came to your door.”

Situ Dianmo said, “Big sisters, help me think of a way, what should I do? How can I get rid of that annoying guy?”

“That’s not hard. Just beat him up.” Dongfang Huizhong said, “Later, none of you need to do anything. I’ll just act directly and beat him until his own mother doesn’t recognize him!”

Su Ruyue said, “Although Huizhong’s method is a bit simple, it’s also the most effective. Such a person deserves a lesson.”

Qin Chuchu held Situ Dianmo’s hand and said, “You don’t need to worry. Isn’t Ye Dage here? Are you afraid someone will snatch you away?”

Situ Dianmo looked at Ye Bufan: “Ye Dage, did you hear that? You must help me.”

“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t want to, no one can force you.”

Ye Bufan handed her a golden-brown grilled chicken wing: “Come, eat. I’ve got everything handled.”

Looking at his calm smile, it instantly brought her endless peace.

Everyone else also stopped worrying about it and began to eat happily.

After a while, Ye Bufan put down the skewer in his hand and suddenly turned his head to look at the distant sky.

“He came really fast!”

Everyone looked up together and saw a blur speeding towards them, finally landing on a small island in the center of Yanbo Lake.
