Chapter 1644: The Hu Family Refuses

"Leave… Wuhuang Province?" Hu Rui's father was stunned.

Just leave, just like that?

Is it that easy?

Besides, it looked like his own daughter was planning to leave too!

"That's right, Dad, come with us… Xiao Fan said that if we mention him over there, it works well; he has some Face!" Hu Rui hurriedly added.

If possible, she didn't want to leave her Family too far behind.

"Th-this…" Hu Rui's father was bewildered.

His daughter had suddenly returned.

She even brought back a Xiao Fan, claiming they had secretly pledged their lives to each other.

And then she said she wanted to take the Hu Family with them!

Everything had happened so suddenly that Hu Rui's father couldn't accept it all at once.

"Dad… don't hesitate, just agree to it. Tianshen Prefecture is wonderful!" Although Hu Rui didn't know exactly what Tianshen Prefecture was like, she still described it in glowing terms, leaving her father stunned.

But no one knows a daughter better than her father.

How could he not understand his daughter's thoughts?

In the end… Hu Rui's father still didn't rashly agree.

"This matter… I need to discuss it with the Family Elders."

Hu Rui's father said in a deep voice.

"Dad, it's such a good opportunity, what is there to discuss!" Hu Rui was immediately displeased: "Look at the Jingchuan Dragon Family; they already agreed to leave!"

The Jingchuan Dragon Family.

Originally an obscure little Family in Wuhuang Province.

But because of Xiao Fan, they had become a well-known existence throughout Wuhuang Province.

This meant that even if the Jingchuan Dragon Family didn't possess great combat strength, no faction in Wuhuang Province dared to provoke them.

"This… cannot be rushed. I will give you an answer tomorrow." Hu Rui's father said in a deep voice.

He was still very calm.

Moving the entire Family was a major event; it had to be carefully deliberated before a decision could be made.

Xiao Fan naturally had no objections; they could discuss it as they pleased.

Bringing them back to Tianshen Prefecture… these were all just minor matters.

That evening, the Hu Family prepared a sumptuous banquet.

Hu Rui's father and the Hu Family Elders treated Xiao Fan with warm hospitality.

The next day…

After the Hu Family members deliberated.

They decided not to leave for now.

In the Hu Family's main hall.

"Xiao Fan… take good care of Rui'er." Hu Rui's father said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with reluctance to part.

"Rest assured, Father-in-law, I will." Xiao Fan nodded and said very earnestly.

"Dad, why won't you leave!" Hu Rui shouted. She didn't understand why the Family was unwilling to leave.

"This… there are too many people in the Family, and in a new place, everything would have to start from scratch… For now, it's not suitable for the Hu Family." Hu Rui's father said helplessly.

Actually, he did want to leave.

But to leave just because of a few words from Xiao Fan and his daughter, for no apparent reason?

That was too reckless.

Actually, this was understandable.

The Hu Family was also a top-tier, famous Family in Wuhuang Province.

Their actions had to be cautious.

They were different from the Dragon Family.

The Dragon Family was familiar with Xiao Fan; initially, when Xiao Fan went to the Dragon Family to cause trouble, they were suppressed by Xiao Fan.

Therefore, the Dragon Family had complete trust in Xiao Fan.

No matter what Hu Rui said, her father refused to leave, and in the end, she had no choice.

Xiao Fan took out several Storage Pouches and gave them to Hu Rui's father.

"Father-in-law, keep these resources safe." Xiao Fan smiled.

"Th-this… no need. My Hu Family is not lacking in resources." Hu Rui's father refused before even checking the contents of the Storage Pouches.

"Just accept it, Dad!" Hu Rui also chimed in.

She was afraid that if her father found out how many resources were in the Storage Pouches later, he would be so shocked he might pass out!

"I said no, so it's no!"

Hu Rui's father was very stubborn.

Xiao Fan insisted on giving them…

Finally, Xiao Fan said: "Father-in-law, let this be a betrothal gift… I hope you won't mind; it's just a formality to bring good fortune."

"This… alright then!"

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, Hu Rui's father finally agreed.

However, maintaining his dignity, he didn't check the items in the Storage Pouches in public.

Instead, he escorted Xiao Fan and Hu Rui to the entrance.

Watching his daughter and Xiao Fan leave with a Face full of reluctance.

"Rui'er… remember to come home." Hu Rui's father choked up.

"I know, Dad…"

…

"Sigh… making it so sentimental; you really didn't need to be like this." Xiao Fan was very helpless.

If Hu Rui and the others wanted to come back later, it would be very easy.

If the temple didn't work, he could just find a Peerless Expert to send them.

The Tianji Sect had plenty of Peerless Experts.

What was there to fear?

"Alright…" Hu Rui slowly calmed down.

…

Hu Rui's father gazed into the distance, watching the direction his daughter had left, remaining silent for a long time.

"Rui'er, your father is helpless too; for the sake of the Family, I could only do this…"

The Hu Family was not what it used to be, and as the Family Head, he could not leave.

Otherwise, the Hu Family would be ruined, and he would have failed his ancestors!

"Family Head, don't take it to heart… A sudden migration could lead to the destruction of the Family; such things have happened before…"

"That's right, Family Head, take care of your health."

"Wait a few years; if Xiao Fan and Rui'er return, and if things are good over there, we can go then."

Several Hu Family Elders came out and began to console Hu Rui's father.

"Yes… I know that." Hu Rui's father sighed, and then checked the Storage Pouch in his hand.

Then…

"Ah!!!"

"Family Head!!"

"Family Head…"

"…"

Hu Rui's father fainted on the spot.
