When The Male Supporting Actor Bend The Male Lead

Qi Yan slowly left under Lou Guxiu’s complicated gaze, departing from the wedding ceremony in a bad term.

He didn’t care about Zhan Nishang’s crying anymore. He had already said what he should say and he had explained clearly what he meant to clarify.

Like an abandoned puppy, in this way, he left without taking anything away.

That night, he heard that the sect leader and his wife did not consummate their marriage, but slept in separate rooms, no different from usual.

The righteous cultivators only learned about the marriage of the leader of the Demon Sect three days later. When it was learned that the sect leader’s wife was Zhan Nishang, the daughter of the Zhan family, another bombardment targeted the Zhan family.

The awakening of Zhan Nishang’s twin spiritual roots is a great thing for the righteous path, but this fragrant meat and potatoes was given to the Demon Sect in vain. They naturally aimed their anger at the Zhan family and the Zhan family patriarch was now helpless.

……

The Zhan family.

“Daddy.” Zhan Roudai came to the study with the tonic soup. Seeing the Zhan family head with a sad face, she couldn’t help but soften her voice, “Drink some soup. Moisten your throat. Don’t worry about the nonsense outside.”

“Ugh! Roudai was still thinking of her father.” The Zhan family head was completely at ease with this daughter. Thinking of Zhan Nishang who betrayed his house, his anger came up again, “Zhan Nishang, that rebellious daughter!””

Zhan Roudai concealed the pride in her eyes and said empathetically: “Dad, don’t be angry. Sister Nishang has also found the person she likes. It’s just that person is the leader of the Demon Sect…”

“Just?” The Zhan family head stared, “It’s just that and all is forgotten? She clearly knew that the man was the leader of the Demon Sect and she insisted on marrying him. Isn’t this hitting my Zhan family in the face!”

Zhan Roudai hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it to him, “Dad, don’t be angry. It’s this daughter who said the wrong thing.”

“Alas, this has nothing to do with you. I shouldn’t take it out on you.”

With his caring daughter by his side, the Zhan family head was in a much better mood. Compared with the rebel Zhan Nishang, this daughter was still much better.……

It never occurred to him that it was him who forced the first daughter out of the family. In his heart he only remembered the goodness of the concubine daughter.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhan Roudai pretended to have unintentionally whispered softly: “Dad, now other families have also misunderstood our Zhan family. Wouldn’t this be the time to marry the Qi family and strengthen our power?”

When Zhan family head heard this, his eyebrows raised, “Marry the Qi family?”

“Exactly. Among the families nowadays, only you and Uncle Qi speak with authority. The patriarch of the Cheng Family and the Rong family are old friends of Uncle Qi since he was a child. If you marry the Qi family at this time, the Cheng and Rong families will definitely not dare to disobey you again. And those small families will not dare to say anything more.”

“This is naturally good, but the marriage to the Qi family…” The Zhan family head looked at Zhan Roudai’s increasingly pink cheeks and suddenly smiled, “Hahaha, you’re really a big girl now. Our Roudai turns out to be in love with the kid from the Qi family.”

Zhan Roudai pouted: “Daddy!”

“Okay, okay, dad won’t say anything. After a few days, Dad will go to Qi’s house and talk about it with Old Man Qi!”

Zhan Roudai saluted respectfully, “It’s up to Dad to make the decision.”

Under the shadow of the drooping head, there was a face eroded by pride and greed. Seeing the depths carefully, there was still a trace of pleasure in conquering the earth.

——Zhan Nishang, Zhan Nishang, the brother Qi Yan you wanted to marry so much, will belong to me after all!

Since that day, Qi Yan hadn’t left the house for five days. Madame Qi was in panic, even Qi Qianxing, who didn’t like his son, was worried for several days.

“My lord, our family Yan’er hasn’t been out for a few days. He doesn’t have much to eat. If this continues, wouldn’t it be…”

Qi Qianxing hugged his crying wife and sighed deeply.

The outside world said that Qi Yan was like this because Zhan Nishang, the eldest lady of the Zhan family, was married.

Qi Qianxing was even more worried when he thought that Qi Yan had gone too far for Zhan Nishang before. He was always in favor for Zhan Nishang  no matter what happened, Qi Qianxing was even more worried.

Was it really because the girl he like was married, so he was decadent?

He didn’t know what the Zhan family girl was thinking. With so many good young men in the world, she chose the leader of the Demon sect.

“Don’t cry.” He comforted his old wife, “Wait for me to talk to that kid!”

Qi Yan’s state was really because of the wedding, but not because of Zhan Nishang.

Hiding at home, he was just waiting for the plot to be triggered again. He knew from the system that Lou Guxiu and Zhan Nishang had not consummate their marriage. He also knew that his words had played a certain role in both people’s hearts, especially Lou Guxiu.

The next plot should be at the demon slaying conference, Lou Guxiu brought Zhan Nishang down from the sky. Although Zhan Nishang was still thinking of avenging Qi Yan at that time, it was imperative to watch the Zhan family fall.

She hated, hated the ruthlessness of her family, hated them for spoiling the concubine daughter and abusing the direct daughter. She hated them for humiliating herself.

In the original work, it was in this demon slaying conference that Zhan Nishang made her big show. She abolished Zhan Roudai’s spiritual roots, ruined the appearance of her stepmother, and broke the legs of all the little servants… In the end, she fell into a cliff under Zhan Roudai’s yin knife, which triggered the follow-up plot to live in seclusion in the valley and cultivate hard. She was bound to kill Lou Guxiu to avenge Qi Yan.

The so-called Demon Slaying Conference was not a war, but a meeting where several major families went to the altar of Xingyun Peak to discuss the recent events.

Qi Yan couldn’t tell where there would be an accident. The Qi family did not perish this time and he didn’t know how the meeting would proceed.

When Qi Qianxing was comforting his wife outside, the housekeeper came to report that the Zhan family head was waiting in the front hall.

Qi Qianxing was unhappy in his heart, one was for the previous behavior of the Zhan family head, and the other was that he really didn’t have time to pay attention to others now.

But he couldn’t tear his face, so he went to the front hall to entertain the Zhan family head.

“Brother Qi, how are you?” The Zhan family head laughed loudly, pretending to be intimate, but did not get Qi Qianxing’s response.

What are you laughing at? Lao Tzu’s family is immersed in grief. Why do you laugh when you come?!

Qi Qianxing hummed softly: “The Zhan family head is really free. How long has it been since he came to my Qi’s house? Why did he suddenly visit?”

“Ai, isn’t this a good thing to discuss!” The Zhan family head family sat in his seat, looked at Qi Qianxing in the main seat and asked inadvertently, “Does your Qi Yan has a girl in his heart? Which one?”

Qi Qianxing paused with the tea in his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a hint of sarcasm in his words: “Why, does the Zhan family head changed his career and became a matchmaker?”

“Hahahaha, Brother Qi really can talk!” The Zhan family head ignored it and instead gave a look that said ‘you picked up a hard bargain’: “How about the marriage between our Qi and Zhan families?”

“Marriage?” Hearing this, Qi Qianxing finally understood.

It turned out that this treacherous old man was here to propose marriage. After thinking about it, only Zhan Roudai, the second lady of the Zhan family, was of the right age.……

Thinking of Zhan Roudai’s style of doing things and the two attempts to please his wife, Qi Qianxing was annoyed. His own three big and five thick1The actual idiom is 五大三粗: five big and three thick, used to describe a man being tall, stout and burly. 五大 refers to the one big head, two big hands and two big feet; 三粗 refers to the thick leg, waist and neck. Meanwhile, the phrase used here is 三大五粗: three big and five thick, so it might imply the opposite was not good, but most of all, he couldn’t stand those who schemed and played mind games.

Seeing the Zhan family head with the look of ‘this matter will happen’, Qi Qianxing felt even more annoyed.

“The Zhan family head shouldn’t be so sure of his words.” Qi Qianxing took a sip of tea and said leisurely: “Marrying your concubine daughter to my only son? This marriage is not a good deal at all, right?”

The Zhan family head’s face stiffened; he didn’t expect Qi Qianxing to say it so bluntly.

“Then again, the first daughter of the Zhan family had just married the leader of the Demon Sect a few days ago, and now the Zhan family head was about to marry the second daughter?”

“Brother Qi, where are you talking about!” The Zhan family head’s tone was also not good, “Zhan Nishang might have the same surname as my Zhan family, but she is no longer part of my Zhan family. And Ive been nurturing Roudai’s cultivation since she was a child. Everyone in the Zhan’s house knows that Roudai is as good as a direct daughter. How can she not be worthy of your Qi Yan?”

Qi Qianxing was not prepared to fight a guerrilla war and said directly: “There will always be a difference between direct daughter and concubine daughter. I can’t agree to this marriage.”

“You–!”

“I still have some family matters to deal with, so the Zhan family head can see yourself off!”

After speaking, Qi Qianxing waved his sleeves and left gracefully.
