“Although Prince Yufu was extremely unwilling in his heart, with Liu Yun presiding over the situation, they ultimately admitted defeat. Prince Yufu glared coldly at Ye Chu and left a harsh parting word before leaving: \”You won by sheer luck this time, but do not think I have given up. She will always belong to me, and you will never have a chance!\””
“\”Is that so? I will tell you the exact same thing! By the way, I think Broken Sword Prince sounds much better for you in the future!\” Ye Chu smiled as he looked at his opponent.”
“This remark made Prince Yufu flick his sleeves and leave. Yushi glanced at Ye Chu, then bowed to Liu Yun and said: \”Although the Yufu Sacred Ground is unwilling to make an enemy of the Fusheng Palace, if our core interests are threatened, the Yufu Sacred Ground fears no one.\””
“\”A loss is a loss. Do not try to scare me with those words!\” Liu Yun looked at him with a smile and said, \”If I were you, I would go back and cultivate in seclusion for a hundred years before thinking about revenge!\””
“After seeing off Prince Yufu, the Tan family members looked at Ye Chu and his group with complicated expressions. The Tan family elders, in particular, looked at Ye Chu with even more unfriendly expressions.”
“\”Senior Liu Yun, please go back and rest. Miaotong has recently entered secluded cultivation. After she comes out, we will arrange for you to meet!\” Tan Long glanced at Ye Chu, finished speaking to Liu Yun, and ignoring Ye Chu and his group, led the Tan family disciples away.”
“Seeing them act like this, Liu Yun smiled and turned to Ye Chu: \”Let us go back. They probably still have a lot to discuss. But since we won, we are not afraid of them going back on their word!\””
“Ye Chu also smiled and nodded: \”Senior makes sense. Let us go back to our residence first. Besides, we currently hold the initiative. Even if we take the person away when the time comes, they cannot say anything!\””
“\”Hahaha…\” Liu Yun was also extremely happy. He looked at Ye Chu and nodded, \”I forgot that you and her already have a personal relationship. You can indeed trick her into coming out and take her away!\””
“…”
“Compared to the relaxed state of Ye Chu and the others, the Tan family elder courtyard was currently filled with indignation: \”Patriarch, we absolutely cannot let Miaotong marry Ye Chu. His Wuxin Peak is a gathering place for lunatics. How can we let Miaotong marry into such a place!\””
“\”Yes! Patriarch, you must think clearly. We have long had an agreement with the Yufu Sacred Ground. If we betroth Miaotong to Ye Chu now, how will we explain it?\””
“\”Their skills are inferior to others, so what is there to explain? They can only blame themselves!\””
“\”Exactly. I really did not expect that a prince of the dignified Yufu Sacred Ground could not even defeat Ye Chu. Marrying Miaotong to Ye Chu would be an insult to her.\””
“\”What do you know? If Miaotong does not marry over there, how can we guarantee the interests of our clan? They definitely will not give us that item. If they do not give us that item, the Tan family…\””
“\”That is also a problem. Our Tan family needs that item too much. The prosperous age has already begun. Without that item to guard us, this…\””
“\”Yes, Patriarch, for the benefit of the clan, you must think twice!\””
“\”But the Fusheng Palace is not easy to provoke either. Moreover, that lunatic from Wuxin Peak has always acted eccentrically. If we break our promise, we do not know what kind of trouble they will cause.\””
“\”What is there to fear? We are not the Buluo Mountain. If that lunatic really dares to come, we will just keep him at the Tan family Sacred Ground.\””
“\”That is what you say, but…\””
“Tan Long frowned, looked at the elders and shouted: \”All of you shut up! Whose fault is it that it has come to this? I said back then that it would be better to ignore Miaotong while she was outside, but you insisted on forcing her to come back. Now she is back, and it has turned out like this. What can you do? What can all this noise solve?\””
“The elders were completely silenced out of fear, not daring to say anything more. They all stared at Tan Long, waiting for his decision.”
“Tan Long took a deep breath, then looked at everyone and said: \”Now that it has come to this, we will obviously offend one side. Even if we do not make a decision now, we cannot delay for long. Since that is the case, it is better to let Miaotong choose for herself.\””
“\”Patriarch, no. If Miaotong chooses, she will definitely lean towards Ye Chu’s side. This…\” Some elders who supported sending Miaotong to the Yufu Sacred Ground quickly spoke up. If Tan Miaotong stayed with Ye Chu, the Tan family would truly never get that item.”
“Just as everyone was arguing, the door to the elder courtyard opened. Tan Miaotong supported an old man as they slowly walked out: \”Great grandfather, please walk slowly. Hmph, these people are all bad. They only know how to bully Miaotong. You must make the decision for Miaotong!\””
“Everyone looked at the old man and the young woman walking out. Especially upon seeing the old man, everyone present, including Tan Long, widened their eyes. Reacting, the crowd prostrated themselves on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to the newcomer: \”Greetings, Ancestor!\””
“\”Hmph!\” The old man ignored these people. Allowing Tan Miaotong to support him, he walked to the centre and sat in the seat of honour. He then pointed to the chair beside him and smiled at Tan Miaotong: \”Come, good child, you sit down too. Do not be angry. Great grandfather will make the decision for you!\””
“\”Thank you, Great grandfather!\” Tan Miaotong smiled sweetly and sat beside the old man.”
“After the old man settled down, he said indifferently: \”All of you, get up!\””
“Only then did Tan Long and his group dare to stand up. Looking at Miaotong beside the old man, Tan Long could not help but reprimand: \”Miaotong, who told you to disturb the Ancestor? Hmph… wait until I…\””
“\”Hmph what hmph!\” The old man interrupted Tan Long and reprimanded him: \”If you scare Miaotong, I will break your dog legs!\””
“Hearing the old man’s words, Tan Long instantly gave a bitter smile and did not dare to say anything more.”
“Although he was the patriarch, he had to tremble in front of this old man. This was a former patriarch of the Tan family and the person with the highest seniority in the Tan family at present. His strength was unfathomable. It was because he was guarding the Tan family that they could deter villains.”
“This ancestor was always a figure whose words carried immense weight in the Tan family. Who would dare to anger him? They just did not expect that Miaotong would actually disturb him and bring him out. However, seeing him come out, Tan Long instead heaved a sigh of relief. It was best if he handled this matter, and no one would dare to object.”
“\”Ancestor, Tan Long has a matter that requires the Ancestor to make a decision!\” Tan Long said with a bow. Everyone also looked at the old man eagerly. Normally, they did not dare to disturb the old man because his lifespan was running short, and he was in secluded cultivation to maintain his remaining lifespan.”
“\”Are you talking about Miaotong’s marriage?\” The old man looked at the group and snorted: \”You have completely lost the face of the Tan family, and you still have the face to ask me to make a decision!\””
“This sentence made Tan Long and his group quickly kneel on the ground: \”We beg the Ancestor for forgiveness!\””
“\”Hmph!\” The old man glanced at them: \”All of you get up. What are you doing kneeling on the ground? No wonder the Tan family is declining more and more. With descendants like you, the ancestors of the Tan family would be angered to death if they saw you!\””
“Reprimanded, the group was completely silenced, not daring to speak. They held their breath and lowered their heads. The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop!”
