Seeing that Huang Dao no longer had anything to say, she silently gave a nod to Huang Shi before leaving the dinner table in fury. It was clear that she was beyond angry about what had happened to him.
Damn… isn't she the one who told me to endure? Why was she the one who got angry first?
After seeing how angry his woman was, he chuckled to himself and vowed that he would find some way to pacify her later, as he tried his best to look as small as possible in this charade.
Whatever these motherfuckers are doing, continue doing it… piss me off enough and see if I don't lop your heads off your bodies.
The feeling of anger that was at first only directed toward his brother, Huang Long, now also involved his father because of his treatment of Li Mei.
It was clear that Huang Shi was the kind of person who did not tolerate any sort of disrespect toward any of his women.
Seeing that the situation had become rather awkward, Huang Dao gave a cough and finally gestured for Huang Long to take a seat at the table as he tried to smooth things out for this son of his.
"So, Huang Long, since when did you get back from the True Dragon Ancestral Sect? Did you face any hardships there?"
Huang Long, seeing that the person who had humiliated him had already disappeared, suddenly directed his fury toward Huang Shi once more, looking at him with anger and disdain before responding to his father.
"Father, I'm doing very well in the sect. In fact, I've joined the faction under Long Si. I think we all know who he is."
Hearing the words "Long Si" coming from Huang Long's mouth made everyone in the room tremble as they quickly recognized who this person was, and this time it was his brother Huang Yi who spoke up with a trembling voice.
"Long Si? You mean that Long Si? One of the top geniuses of our entire Great Tang Dynasty? The one who was said to have cultivated the most difficult and powerful cultivation technique of the True Ancestral Dragon Sect, the True Dragon Tyrant Scripture?"
Huang Long, seeing the fear in his brother's eyes, quickly nodded with a smug expression.
"That's right—Long Si. So do you understand what it means to go against me, brother? You'd better submit now, or the consequences will be severe!"
Huang Yi trembled as his expression contorted between fear and humiliation, yet he knew better than to oppose his brother, at least for now.
Huang Shi, on the other hand, just sat there like a scarecrow, trying to act as small as possible while gathering information from everyone present.
Long Si? It seems this person is the backer of Huang Dao.
I guess it's pretty obvious where this is going. If I kill Huang Long, this person will get angry at me for killing his subordinate and try to target me in the future as well… I need to prepare for this possibility.
Huang Dao, hearing that his eldest son had achieved something monumental for their family, once again laughed heartily as he gave his praise.
"Good, good, good. It seems both of my sons are exceptionally talented. The future of our Azure Dragon Sect is in good hands!"
Huang Shi, who was sitting there, felt humiliation in his heart as he roared internally while keeping his expression the same.
Am I not your son as well?!
After a few minutes of talking among themselves, his father finally seemed to notice his presence. He raised his right hand, trying to silence the room, before looking directly at Huang Shi.
"Huang Shi, your fiancée has accepted the terms of your engagement. She will be coming here on the day of our Azure Dragon Sect's martial arts tournament to see you for the first time. You'd better not mess this up for us!"
Hearing the words coming from his father, the expressions of both Huang Long and Huang Yi suddenly changed.
Huang Long had a look of resentment on his face, as if he couldn't accept that a waste like him would be marrying this so-called fiancée he had never seen before, while Huang Yi looked like he had swallowed a bug.
Once again, it was Huang Long who spoke up.
"Father, don't you think this is inappropriate? Would it not be a waste to marry Fairy Bai to this cripple?"
Huang Yi, who had thus far always tried to compete with and argue against whatever Huang Long said, suddenly spoke up in agreement.
"That's right, Father. Don't you think there would be a better candidate for Bai Xinyue's hand in marriage?"
Huang Shi, who had remained silent thus far, once again chose not to speak as he thought to himself with a grimace.
Bah, it's not like I want to marry this random chick either. So what if she's pretty? Beautiful women are going to get me killed with how weak I currently am!
Huang Dao, who had already begun to see that things were starting to spiral out of control, once more raised his hand, bringing the room into silence.
"It is Bai Xinyue herself who specifically requested to be wed to Huang Shi, not the Bai Clan or anyone else for that matter. This means that I have no control over this, but…"
Seeing their father's words trail off, both of his idiot sons suddenly found hope.
"If you are able to convince Bai Xinyue herself to break off the engagement and transfer it to either of you, nothing is stopping you from doing so!"
The moment these words were spoken, an expression of elation suddenly appeared on Huang Yi's face, while a smug look appeared on Huang Long's.
Clearly, both of them were thinking the same thing.
There is no way this wastrel will be able to compete with us, hehe.
Luckily for them, I had no intention of competing with either of them.
