Chapter 149 Zhuge Yunhui's Request
"Yun Jin, are you saying you want to borrow our Zhuge family's Kongming lanterns?"
Zhuge Moyun's face looked rather unpleasant.
Originally, when they saw Tian Xiaodie return safely with Zhuge Yunjin and Zhao Yifan, they knew that this matter would probably be difficult to handle.
But what surprised them even more was that Zhuge Yunjin didn't discuss Tian Xiaodie's matter at all, and instead asked to borrow one of the Zhuge family's most precious treasures, the Kongming Lantern!
“That’s right, my husband needs a Kongming lantern. Please lend us the Kongming lantern, Father.”
Zhuge Yunjin nodded and said.
"Yun Jin, do you know that this Kongming lantern is a priceless treasure left to our Zhuge family by our ancestors? How can we lend it to outsiders so casually?"
An elder said in a deep voice.
"cough cough"
Just then, Zhao Yifan coughed lightly and said, "Gentlemen, I am, after all, the son-in-law of the Zhuge family. How can I be considered an outsider?"
"you……"
The elder was about to say something when Zhao Yifan interrupted him.
"Gentlemen, I'm here to inform you that I need to borrow the Kongming lantern, not to discuss it with you. Understand?"
In short, the expressions on Zhuge Moyun and the others instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Alright, Uncle Seven, take us to get the Kongming lanterns."
As Zhao Yifan spoke, he looked at his seventh uncle.
Uncle Qi glanced at Zhuge Moyun and the others, and seeing that they were all silent, he finally sighed and then led Zhao Yifan and the others to retrieve the Kongming lanterns.
"He's really too presumptuous. What does he think our Zhuge family is? Does he think we're really afraid of him?"
After Zhao Yifan and the others left, a loud shout caught the attention of Zhuge Yunhui outside the door.
"Alright, Sixth Brother, you didn't say anything when that kid was here, so what's the point of saying this now?"
"Hmph, are we just going to watch that kid take the Kongming lantern?"
"What else can we do? That kid is much stronger than last time. We just secretly activated the Bagua Formation, but he broke our trap with just a glance. Otherwise, if he didn't want to turn against us, do you think we would still be sitting here?"
"But……"
"Alright, that's enough. That kid is too strong; we can't handle him."
"So, what are you planning to do about Tian Xiaodie's matter? Those other families are all keeping an eye on us!"
"What else can we do? Yun Jin and that kid will eventually leave. We'll deal with it then. Do you think they can protect Tian Xiaodie forever?"
“Alright, let the third brother handle this. The seventh brother is a bit too slow. If he were more decisive, Tian Xiaodie’s matter would have been resolved long ago.”
"..."
Listening to the conversation among the elders, Zhuge Yunhui's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
He knew that the clan elders were ultimately unwilling to let Tian Xiaodie go.
"It's ugly, isn't there any other way? Thirty-six thieves, thirty-six thieves, how could Xiaodie get involved with those guys? Who can protect her?"
Suddenly, information about the Thirty-Six Thieves came to Zhuge Yunhui's mind.
It seems that two of the thirty-six thieves have been protected!
……
"Is this the Kongming Lantern of the Zhuge family?"
Looking at the somewhat worn Kongming lantern in front of him, Zhao Yifan vaguely sensed a mysterious aura emanating from it.
"My lord, the Kongming lanterns of our Zhuge family can be used to send longing messages to people based on their names, and they will fly to their side!"
Zhuge Yunjin explained.
"That's convenient!"
Zhao Yifan smiled, then extended his finger and wrote his name on the Kongming lantern in front of him.
Beside the two of them, Tian Xiaodie clearly saw that the name Zhao Yifan had written was "Feng Baobao"!
"Sure enough, he's still looking for that Miss Bao!"
Tian Xiaodie thought to herself.
At the same time, she felt a faint sense of envy.
Only after being truly hunted did Tian Xiaodie understand that kind of helplessness.
She knew very well that if Zhao Yifan and Zhuge Yunjin hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have been dead.
Just then, a spark suddenly lit up inside the Kongming lantern, and the huge lantern slowly floated up.
"Next, we just need to follow it to find the baby."
Zhuge Yunjin said.
"kindness"
Zhao Yifan nodded.
"Sister, brother-in-law!"
Just as the two were about to follow the Kongming lantern and leave, Zhuge Yunhui suddenly jumped out.
"Yunhui, what brings you here? Your brother-in-law and I have some things to do and have to leave now. We'll meet up with you again next time we come back."
Zhuge Yunjin said.
"No, sister, I have a favor to ask of my brother-in-law!"
Zhuge Yunhui shook his head and said.
"Oh? Brother-in-law, what's the matter? Tell me."
To be honest, Zhao Yifan was quite surprised that his brother-in-law would actually ask him for a favor; it was rather unusual.
"I……"
Zhuge Yunhui's face showed a struggle, and he glanced at Tian Xiaodie beside him, as if he had made up his mind.
"Brother-in-law, please, please marry Xiaodie!"
"What? What did you say?"
Zhao Yifan doubted his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Zhuge Yunjin and Tian Xiaodie also looked at Zhuge Yunhui with shock.
"Yunhui, did you eat something bad? Don't you like Xiaodie? Why do you want your brother-in-law to marry Xiaodie?"
Zhuge Yunjin wondered if her younger brother had lost his mind.
"Sister, I do like Xiaodie, but I know even more clearly that only brother-in-law can protect Xiaodie right now!"
A flicker of pain crossed Zhuge Yunhui's eyes as he said, "I know it's because I'm incompetent and can't protect Xiaodie. So, brother-in-law, I beg you, marry Xiaodie and protect her. This is my only request of you. Besides, Xiaodie is so beautiful, brother-in-law, aren't you tempted?"
"This……"
Zhao Yifan was completely numb.
He, Young Master Zhao, has always been a man of integrity, so why is it that people always slander him?
Who exactly spread the rumor that I'm the kind of person who can't resist pretty girls?
This is an insult to the character of Young Master Zhao!
Beside her, Tian Xiaodie looked at Zhuge Yunhui, who was begging Zhao Yifan to marry her, with a complicated expression.
Tian Xiaodie was well aware of the other person's feelings for her.
However, Tian Xiaodie, who was strong-willed throughout her life, simply couldn't bring herself to like Zhuge Yunhui, who was somewhat weak-willed and not particularly talented.
What Tian Xiaodie wanted was a man who could completely conquer her, like...
However, Tian Xiaodie never expected that Zhuge Yunhui, who she always thought was somewhat weak, would actually ask his brother-in-law Zhao Yifan to marry her in order to save her.
"cough"
Clearing his throat, Zhao Yifan looked at his brother-in-law, Zhuge Yunhui, with a serious expression and said, "Yunhui, you probably don't know, but your brother-in-law is very serious about love. I'm not willing to do anything like a fake marriage. Have you really thought it through?"
Upon hearing this, a look of pain flashed in Zhuge Yunhui's eyes, but he still said with a firm expression, "Brother-in-law, I believe in you. Only you can give Xiaodie true happiness. From now on, Xiaodie is in your care!"
