I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

He strongly suspected that he was getting old and had hearing problems.

Qiong glanced at Xing He Jing, thinking, "Trying to take advantage of me while I can't sabotage you, huh?"

Seeing Grandpa Huaiyan listening intently, Xing suddenly realized, "He really is an old man; his hearing isn't what it used to be."

She cupped her hands to her mouth, making a megaphone shape, and shouted as if addressing a deaf elderly person.

"I'll tell you! Your granddaughter and my brother made a thirty-year pact: whoever loses will either marry or become the other's son-in-law!"

Everyone was bewildered by Xing's loud shouts, their expressions completely out of control, creating a spectacular scene.

Jing Yuan opened his narrowed eyes wide, his gaze gleaming.

This is a huge bombshell!

Jingyuan pouted with delight, like a cat.

(=?ω?=)

"..."

Grandpa Huaiyan's mouth was slightly open, but he didn't utter a single word for a long time.

The eyes, which had been hidden by thick white eyebrows, were now fully revealed.

He doted on Yun Li and knew his granddaughter's temperament well.

Speaking of love at first sight?

He definitely wouldn't believe it at all.

But if you call it a bet... well, a bet made in a fit of anger.

Considering Yun Li's fiery and impulsive personality, the possibility is indeed quite high...

Seriously, do young people these days really go all out?!

Realizing that the misunderstanding was far more serious than imagined, even General Huaiyan, with his composure, couldn't help but tense up and dared not treat the matter lightly any longer.

"Elder Yan, please bear witness to our thirty-year promise with Miss Yun Li!"

Qiong suddenly took a step forward, his voice booming, and at the same time pulled out the old iron that had been modified by the error.

A barely visible fox's smiling face appeared on the originally sharp sword blade.

Normally, male and female skills are not interchangeable.

However, the uniqueness of the error can be transferred to Qiong's hands at any time through the system space.

"That year there were three, standing there like lackeys."

Qiong stood tall and proud, his eyes burning with fierce flames.

The old masked fool's acting perfectly captured the resentment and anger of the male protagonist who was jilted at his engagement.

"I want everyone to know that the Demon Sword is not something Yun Li treats like that!"

Qiong's imposing presence was like a rainbow, and his words resonated with conviction.

"Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty!"

Young and impetuous.

The gray-haired youth perfectly embodied these four words.

The old man Huaiyan, who had been trying to maintain a calm expression, completely broke down.

The tiny spark of hope he had that "it might be a joke or a misunderstanding" was completely extinguished the moment the words "Demon Sword" exploded like thunder.

He knows Yun Li too well.

This child has an extremely straightforward and honest personality. His way of solving problems is simple, direct, and effective, sometimes even appearing a bit reckless.

A casual argument might not have escalated to this point, but once the Demon Sword is involved...

Yun Li will completely lose her mind.

Her father, Han Guangbian, pursued the creation of swords that surpassed human intelligence, forging the essence of the sun into the swords, which led to disastrous consequences.

This incident not only affected the Flame Wheel Forging Palace, but also caused Yun Li to lose her parents. She developed a deep hatred for the demonic swords that Zhu Ming had leaked out, and vowed to hunt down all the demonic swords and destroy them.

That child would even risk his life to hunt down the Demon Sword, let alone something as mundane as marriage.

This is a difficult situation.

Thinking of this, Old Master Huaiyan sighed heavily in his heart.

They quickly began to formulate their arguments.

Use Yun Li's age as a reason, shall we?

Yun Lixian will be 170 years old in 2020. Thirty years from now, she will be of marriageable age, just like the age when long-lived beings reach adulthood.

Using age is somewhat inappropriate.

"Qiong...right, don't be so impatient."

Huaiyan soothed the passionate youth with a kind tone.

"Marriage is a lifelong commitment that affects one's well-being. How can it be decided hastily based on a moment of impulse?"

"The essence of 'knowing someone' lies in mutual understanding and commitment, stemming from one's true feelings, rather than in making a bet or winning. It's good for young people to be full of vigor, but lifelong commitments require utmost caution."

"It's alright, Grandpa. After all, this is a bet between Qiongzai and Yunli. You are a highly respected elder, so please be a witness. We, as elders, should just respect the children's choice."

Xing acted like an elder sister, like a mother, which made Qiong pinch her own chest hard.

Feeling the pain in Nai Zi's eyes, Xing's eyebrows twitched, but she still maintained a false elder's demeanor.

Huai Yan's expression was priceless.

Why did you call him Grandpa?

Just as the old man was considering what to say, a young girl's sweet voice came from outside.

The girl learned the name of the young man who had stolen her friend from Yan Qing.

"Qiong! The Qiong from the Starry Sky Train! You come out here! You come out here!"

The sound grew louder as it approached, accompanied by hurried footsteps and the crisp clinking of metal.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yun Li storming in aggressively, with Yan Qing chasing after her to stop her.

Yun Li held a sword that Qiong recognized.

Isn't that Yanqing's sword?

How did it end up in Yun Li's hands?

While trying to stop her, Yanqing shouted at Yunli, "Give me back my sword!"

Oh, I understand.

It got robbed.

"grandfather."

Her bright eyes darted around, and she immediately put on a warm smile like a mother-in-law.

"Look, since Sister Yunli has come to us in such a hurry, there's no better time than today..."

"Hehehehehe, Star Core Hunter Ka family, Star Dome! I'll fight you to the bitter end! Come and battle!"

Qiong drew the old iron from behind, infusing it with the power of destiny. The giant ruler burned fiercely, as if molten lava was flowing within it.

Seeing this, Yun Li, who was blocked by Yan Qing, was even more eager to break through Yan Qing's flying sword barrier, but she had lost her familiar partner and was using Yan Qing's light sword.

Her familiar swordsmanship, which relied on brute force to overcome techniques, could only unleash half its power, and was ultimately blocked by Yanqing.

"Ahem, this matter... needs careful consideration. We mustn't act impulsively!"

General Huaiyan coughed violently a few times, trying to break the tense atmosphere.

"Elder Yan, rest assured, I won't ruin our relationship. But the bet between Yun Li and me must be settled, otherwise Yun Li won't let it go."

After hearing what Qiong said, Old Master Huaiyan felt a toothache.

Even if you manage to persuade Qiong, it will be difficult to persuade Yun Li, who has lost her mind because of the Demon Sword.

Or should we let the two of them handle it themselves?

But this gamble... is a lifelong commitment!

Qiong, who was able to help Luofu quell the Jianmu disaster and defeat the Great Lord of Annihilation, was indeed an outstanding young man that would be hard to find even in an ordinary family. At least, that's how the pioneers appeared, judging from the report submitted by Jingyuan.

Ke Xing just said that the bet involved being a concubine. Huai Yan had also heard some rumors after arriving in Luofu, although some immortal ships continued the ancient tradition of polygamy.

But he didn't want his granddaughter to be a concubine.

Unless it's someone Yun Li truly likes, but this is clearly a powder keg colliding.

"Yanqing, you mustn't be rude."

Just when Huaiyan was in a state of utter distress, Jingyuan spoke up at the opportune moment, removing Yanqing's obstruction.

Yanqing could only step aside and stare longingly at her sword.

Yun Li snorted coldly at Yan Qing, who was suppressing his anger and standing to the side, and stormed into the main hall.

"You won't escape!"

She immediately focused on Qiong, who was carrying the familiar yet unfamiliar Xuan Ruler, but then frowned.

That black ruler... it looks so familiar.

A joyful smile curved Qiong's lips as she used the uniqueness of error combined with the power of pleasure to simulate the aura of Suiyang, which vanished in an instant.

"A demonic sword!"

Yun Li's expression changed instantly.

Give me that demonic sword!

She even temporarily forgot about her old friend.

"If you can defeat me fair and square, I will be convinced. But you can't, so I will not hand over the Xuanzhong Ruler to you."

Qiong spoke with righteous indignation, as if he were the victim.

"Alright! Let's settle this with swords!"

Yun Li readily agreed.

To be honest, although Qiong's act of stealing the sword annoyed her, the way he handled the problem was very much in line with her personality.

She wouldn't be like that Luofu swordsman, thinking she could just easily return his sword.

A swordsman, of course, lets his sword do the talking!

"Yun Li, you mustn't be rude! Quickly apologize to Brother Qiong!"

Huaiyan quickly stopped his granddaughter from making the bet on the spot.

"grandfather!"

Yun Li could hardly believe her ears, her face turning bright red with anger.

"Whose side are you on anyway?"

"Grandpa, of course, won't take sides!"

When it comes to matters of life and marriage, Huaiyan would definitely side with his granddaughter, but he couldn't say it in front of Qiong.

Mix the mud first.

"Fine, then let me settle this with my own strength!"

Yun Li didn't intend to use her grandfather's status to bully others.

"Okay."

With a straight back and an upright posture, Qiong Xiong stands tall and proud, unafraid of a straight shadow.

"It just so happens that the martial arts ceremony is taking place right now. Why don't we announce to the world that we'll settle this in the arena, so that some people won't deny their defeat!"

"I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Yun Li shouted defiantly, showing no fear.
