Chapter 300 Pressure
Zhong Ling, as a disciple of Lei Xiao Sect and also the daughter of Uncle Zhong, witnessed the recent turmoil in the sect and couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart.
She looked at Uncle Zhong who was frowning beside her and spoke softly.
"Dad, what do you think about this?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhong sighed, with a hint of helplessness and worry in his eyes.
"Over the years, the Yu family has tried to find other marriage partners for Yu Lingxi, but Yu Lingxi only has the young master in her heart, so those marriages failed. Now, her brother Yu Lingyuan actually agreed to this marriage, and Yu Lingxi will only become more persistent."
As Zhong Ling listened to Uncle Zhong's words, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She knew that Yu Lingxi was an excellent girl and a leader in the sect.
However, matters of the heart cannot be forced, and certainly cannot be bound by an engagement.
She couldn't help but worry about the future of Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan.
"Then... Dad, what do you think the young master will choose?"
Zhong Ling couldn't help but ask, with a hint of anxiety and anticipation in her voice.
Uncle Zhong glanced at her and shook his head slightly.
"Only the young master knows the truth about this matter. As outsiders, we can only wait for the result. However, I believe that the young master is a responsible person and he will handle this matter well."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling nodded slightly, but her heart was still restless.
She knew that this storm would not subside easily, and the future of Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan would become confusing because of it.
Sect Master Lei, as the leader of the Lei Xiao Sect, is naturally well aware of the recent turmoil in the sect.
After thinking about it, he knew that this matter not only concerned the relationship between Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan, but also the cooperation and stability of the two major forces of Lei Xiaozong and Yu family.
So, he decided to come forward in person and called Lei Tingyi to his study.
In the study, the candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was solemn. Sect Master Lei sat in front of the desk, looking at Lei Tingyi who walked in with a serious expression.
"Tingyi, come here."
Sect Leader Lei's voice was steady and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable force.
Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi walked respectfully to Sect Master Lei and bowed.
"Sect Master, are you looking for me?"
There was a hint of doubt and respect in his voice.
Sect Leader Lei looked at him, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.
"Tingyi, regarding your engagement with Yu Lingxi, I have thought about it and feel that this matter cannot be delayed any longer. For the cooperation and stability of the two forces, I hope you can seriously consider this engagement."
Lei Tingyi's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He looked up at Sect Leader Lei, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"Master, there is only Jiu'an in my heart. I have never acknowledged this engagement, nor will I accept it. I hope you can understand my choice."
Sect Leader Lei listened to his words with a frown on his face.
He knew that Lei Tingyi was a man of his own ideas, and once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
However, as the sect leader, he must consider the interests of the sect.
"Tingyi, I know you have Jiuan in your heart. However, marriage cannot be based on feelings alone. You have to consider the interests and stability of the sect. The Yu family is an important partner of ours, and this marriage contract is of great significance to both forces."
There was a hint of admonition and helplessness in Sect Leader Lei's voice.
Lei Tingyi listened to his words, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He knew that what Sect Leader Lei said was not without reason.
However, he could not exchange his marriage for the interests of the sect.
So, he took a deep breath and said firmly.
"Master, I understand your considerations. However, I cannot sacrifice my own happiness for the benefit of the sect. I hope you can respect my choice."
Seeing his son so persistent, Sect Leader Lei frowned and his headache got even worse.
He knew Lei Tingyi's character very well. Once a decision was made, it would be difficult to change it.
Moreover, he also knew his son's feelings for Ling Jiuan, which were sincere and deep.
However, as the sect leader, he must consider the interests of the sect.
The marriage with the Yu family is undoubtedly an important cooperation opportunity for the Lei Xiao Sect.
He couldn't give up this opportunity easily, and he couldn't let his son's personal feelings affect the future of the sect.
"Tingyi, do you know what this marriage contract means to the sect?"
There was a hint of severity and helplessness in Sect Leader Lei's voice.
"This is not just a matter between you and Yu Lingxi, but also concerns the interests and stability of the entire sect."
As Lei Tingyi listened to his father's words, an indescribable pain and struggle surged in his heart.
He knew that his choice would not only affect his own happiness, but would also bring unnecessary trouble and losses to the sect.
However, he could not go against his own heart and could not give up his feelings for Ling Jiuan.
"Father, I know the importance of this marriage. However, I cannot sacrifice my own happiness for the benefit of the sect. I hope you can understand my choice and support my decision."
There was a hint of pleading and determination in Lei Tingyi's voice, as he was making a final fight for his love.
Sect Leader Lei looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He knew that his son had grown up and had his own ideas and choices.
He could not force his son to accept the marriage, nor could he destroy his son's happiness because of his own wishes.
So he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Tingyi, I respect your choice. However, I hope you can consider the interests and stability of the sect and not bring unnecessary trouble to the sect because of your personal feelings. You can have a good talk with Yu Lingxi and see if you can find a solution that satisfies both sides."
Lei Tingyi had just returned to his yard and before he had time to organize his thoughts, he saw Yu Lingxi standing in the yard.
Her figure lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun, appearing particularly lonely and fragile.
"Sister Lingxi? Why are you here?"
Lei Tingyi frowned, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He knew that Yu Lingxi's arrival must be related to the recent turmoil.
Yu Lingxi looked at him with a gentle smile on her face, as if to ease the awkwardness and tension between them.
"I made some spiritual food and sent it to you. Please try it."
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a power that could not be denied.
Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi smiled politely, but felt a little helpless in his heart.
"Sister Lingxi, you don't have to do this. I know you're good to me, but..."
There was some hesitation and determination in his words, and it was obvious that he did not want to accept this kindness.
Yu Lingxi looked at him, with a hint of loss and sadness in her eyes.
However, she did not give up. Instead, she gently placed the food box in her hand on the stone table, with some determination and persistence in her voice.
"Tingyi, I know you have concerns in your heart. However, I just hope you can try the spiritual food I made, and I have no other intentions. Don't worry, I won't disturb you and Jiuan."
