Chapter 1200 Azure Dragon Fanily(2)

1200 Azure Dragon Family(2)

"Welcome to my Azure Dragon Family, Princess Xi. We are delighted to have you today." The Patriarch of the Azure Dragon Family personally greeted Xi Meili at the door.

Xi Meili calmly acknowledged him with a nod before speaking, "I have urgent business after this, so let's get this over with. Where's Liang Xuan?"

Patriarch Liang raised an eyebrow upon being rushed by Xi Meili. What could possibly be more important than the future of their family together?

"There's no need to be hasty. We have set up a banquet for you, and my son, Liang Xuan, is waiting for you there. Let us discuss your marriage with him over some tea and food."

"..."

As much as Xi Meili wanted to reject the marriage on the spot, it'd be incredibly rude to the Azure Dragon Family. Even if the Azure Dragon Family isn't of royal blood, they are a very large and powerful family. While they might not be as influential as the Xi Family, they definitely have a slight advantage in terms of overall prowess.

If Xi Meili offends the Azure Dragon Family too much, they might become an enemy of the Xi Family, and that would bring an end to the peace between their family, which has existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Xi Meili silently followed Patriarch Liang to a s.p.a.cious courtyard, where a ma.s.sive banquet was being held.

There were dozens of tables filled with food and drinks, and there were even dancers in the center of the courtyard on a platform.

Seeing the banquet made Xi Meili sneer inwardly, 'They're already acting as though I am going to accept the proposal… How unpleasant.'

Everyone in the courtyard stopped their movements when they noticed Xi Meili and the Patriarch's presence.

Meanwhile, a group of individuals approached them.

These people were all high-standing officials and renowned individuals within the Azure Dragon City.

"Welcome to Azure Dragon City, Princess Xi."

"It's been awhile, Princess Xi. You look even better than before."

"I hope everything will work out between the Xi Family and the Azure Dragon Family!"

Once this group of individuals gave their greetings, they quickly left the scene.

Then, another individual approached them.

Xi Meili turned to look at this person with a nonchalant expression on her face. He was a handsome young man with light blue hair neatly tied into a ponytail and gold eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and a face that gave him a heroic atmosphere.

This person stopped in front of Xi Meili and proceeded to give her a courteous bow.

"Good morning, Princess Xi. You look even prettier than the rumors say, and I am grateful to be graced by your presence today."

Xi Meili remained nonchalant and spoke, "And you're exactly as the rumors say, Liang Xuan. Do you flirt like this with every woman that you meet?"

Liang Xuan did not take offense to her words and even laughed at it. "I am only speaking the truth. Anyways, why don't we sit down first? There is plenty to discuss, after all."

Liang Xuan turned around and started walking towards the main table, expecting Xi Meili to follow him. However, he stopped a few steps later when he noticed that Xi Meili hadn't moved in the slightest.

"Princess Xi? Is there something wrong?" He asked her with a puzzled look on his face.

"I hope you didn't prepare this banquet specifically for me, as I will not be partic.i.p.ating in it."

"W-Why not?" Liang Xuan was taken aback.

"Because I won't be staying for long, and I have other businesses to attend to."

Patriarch Liang proceeded to speak with a slight frown on his face, "I'm sure this 'other' business can wait a little longer. What could possibly be more important than your marriage with my son?"

Xi Meili turned to look at him with a sharp gaze, and she spoke, "You make it sound like I am already engaged to him or something. Unless my father lied to me, we are not yet in that kind of relations.h.i.+p."

"Not yet… but we will be soon." Liang Xuan spoke with a confident smile on his face.

"And what makes you think that?" Xi Meili frowned.

"I will tell you… after we sit down and enjoy the banquet a little. What do you say?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xi Meili spoke in a cold voice, "Sorry, but I have no intention of playing whatever game you're suggesting. If you're not going to tell me now, I will just reject your proposal and leave."

The smile on Liang Xuan's face immediately disappeared, and he sighed out loud, "I wanted this marriage to work properly and without any troubles, but you're making that very hard, Princess Xi, and you've only just arrived."

"I will ask you one last time. Will you have a peaceful conversation with me while seated, or are we going to do this the hard way?" Liang Xuan's previous demeanor had completely disappeared. He was now filled with arrogance, his aura a little tyrannical, almost like that of a wild beast.

Xi Meili narrowed her eyes at him, "Since I am benevolent, I will disregard this disrespect once and act like it never happened."

"Or what? You'll report it to your father?" Patriarch Liang suddenly spoke.

"What?" Xi Meili turned to look at him with wide eyes.

'Have they gone mad?' She wondered inwardly.

They are clearly acting hostile towards her, but she couldn't understand why. She hasn't officially rejected their proposal yet, so there was no reason for them to act in this manner.

In fact, they have been acting a little weird since the beginning, which gave Xi Meili a bad feeling.

'Now that I think about it, why would the Azure Dragon Family suddenly propose to work together when we've never really been that close. Why now? What is their motive?' Xi Meili asked herself.

Before she could think of anything, Patriarch Liang suddenly swept the courtyard with a sharp gaze. When the people there felt his gaze, they all silently left the courtyard, leaving Xi Meili alone with the Patriarch and Liang Xuan.

Seeing this, Xi Meili instinctively prepared for battle.

Patriarch Liang smiled coldly after seeing her reaction, and he said, "Relax, we're not going to attack you. That would be unbefitting of us, especially considering our stature. I made them leave so that we can talk privately, just as you wanted."

Xi Meili loosened her muscles a little, but she was still on guard.

"I can't wait to hear whatever nonsense you're going to spew next." Xi Meili said with a somewhat nervous smile.
