The moment those words reached his ears, Longwei felt his face burn with humiliation.
Even his father-in-law, the sect leader, and Madame Lao couldn't fully suppress the twitch at the corners of their lips as they politely turned their gazes aside.
Had anyone else uttered something so vulgar in front of the sect leader, a reprimand would have come without delay. But Rou'er was too beloved to suffer even the lightest scolding.
Besides, if one were to be honest about it, the sect leader feared her more than anyone else in that hall.
He knew things about her that no one else there knew, and if she were ever to command him to kneel before her, the mere memory of that thunderous voice would be enough to buckle his knees.
What struck Longwei hardest, however, was not the reaction of the sect's high leadership, but that of his beautiful fiancée, Xue Hao.
