When they heard those words, both Lu Yong and Lu Yuan were stunned. Lu Yuan’s expression darkened, while Lu Yong maintained a straight face and asked,

“Do you want to marry that girl from Shi Clan?”

Andy kept a smile on his face as he sat with his legs crossed and his gaze fixed on the two men in front of him. When he heard those words, he simply said,

“When did I say I wanted to marry someone? I said that I wanted that girl. And what I plan to do with her is completely irrelevant to you.”

Andy paused as his eyes scanned the men in front of him, then said, “If it’s okay, I can give you the fruit right now.”

Lu Yuan’s face turned uglier as he glared at the man in front of him with hatred in his eyes. How could this Young Master Andy possibly have such a ridiculous demand of exchanging Shi Yi? This is a direct slap in the face. He fell in love with Shi Yi the moment he saw her, and after much effort, he could break Shi Yi’s engagement to his younger brother. Only a few days had passed since his engagement was announced, and he couldn’t even celebrate, and this man dared to ask for Shi Yi.

Andy’s gaze shifted to Lu Yong as he waited for the answer.

Lu Yong’s gaze was fixed on the Young Man in front of him the entire time, his lips pursed, unable to comprehend how the situation had devolved into this. He knew from this Young Man’s actions this morning that the girl from the Shi clan could play an important role in establishing a good relationship with them. But he did not know this man would demand Shi Yi so quickly and in such a ridiculous manner. This is the first time in his life that someone has insulted him so severely, and the person on the other end was just a young man.

After some thought, Lu Yong said, “I need some time to consider it. However, I will respond as soon as possible.”

The smile was still present on Andy’s face after he heard the reply. “It’s up to you whether you respond to me or not. I just said my proposal. Whether or not you accept it, nothing matters to me,”

However, his smile faded as his gaze was drawn to Lu Yuan. “But what matters to me is that no one, and I mean no one, can look at me with contempt. You should understand what I mean when I say the world is big. Since you came to my door with a request, I’ve been feeling very generous. But the next time, I’ll simply pull your eyeballs out.”

Lu Yong moved quickly as he drew Lu Yuan away and exited the room, a cold glint in his eyes as he did so.

Meanwhile, Andy’s gaze followed the men’s movements as they exited a room, and a strange expression formed on his face as he bit his lips.

----------------------------

Andy sat there for a while, his lost eyes staring into nothingness until he took a deep breath and slapped his face hard, mumbling, “He is not your father, and he does not deserve to be called father.”

Suddenly, Demon Lord’s voice echoed in his head, “Why are you acting like a madman?” And what about that absurd demand? But didn’t this make you an enemy of the Lu clan?

As Andy stood up and walked towards the door, he exhaled a mouthful of air and mumbled, “After Lu An’s memory merged with mine, you should know this. I was deeply affected by him, and I felt his emotions as well. Even though I was sitting, I was unbelievably uneasy. Regarding the Demand, those people do not deserve to be called a family. As for enmity, I guarantee they’ll be begging for the fruit by tomorrow evening and in the future, they could not touch me. And for Shi Yi, I have different plans for her.”

The Demon Lord’s voice echoed in his head once more, “Okay, but try to keep your emotions under control. These emotions may come back to haunt you in the future. I will transfer the mind scripture; whenever there is an emotional turmoil, always recite this script; you will feel calm.”

Andy nodded slightly as he heard Demon Lord’s words, and his mind was suddenly filled with a new set of memories.

Andy’s lone figure strolled through the training ground, which was lit up by moonlight at night. His eyes were closed as his steps came to a halt and he stood in the same spot for a while. Suddenly, a long, heavy sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed it effortlessly through the air. A beautiful white arc left the sword as it made its way to the remaining piece of the wooden dummy and perfectly sliced it in two.

------------------------------------

A slightly plump man in a fine green robe stood at a door in the large courtyard, with various emotions visible in his eyes. His gaze was fixed on the door in front of him as shook his head, unable to knock on the door. After a while, he took a deep breath and knocked twice on the door.

As he stood at the door, his ears picked up on the sound of approaching footsteps, and the creak of the door broke the silence. In front of him stood a lovely young lady dressed in a black nightgown, her hair messy and her eyes were drowsy.

Her face creased when she saw the figure in front of him.

“Father? Why are you here?”

“I have some bad news for you,” Shi Yi’s father said, his attention fixed on his daughter, observing every expression she made.

“News?” Shi Yi frowned and asked, her gaze fixed on her father.

Shi Yi's father sighed and closed his eyes for a moment before saying, “The Lu family has canceled the marriage with you.”

Shi Yi’s brow furrowed, as she heard the news, and contrary to expectation, she had little reaction. Only a word escaped her mouth, “Why?”

Shi Yi’s father was caught off guard when he saw his daughter’s reaction, but he responded unconsciously when he heard her question.

“Young Master Andy has taken a liking to you,”

However, as soon as she heard those words, her drowsiness slipped away, and a smile spread across her face as she exclaimed, “Really?”
