The two brothers ran out pathetically. Before they left, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding. Their eyes were still filled with disgust and hatred! This was a hatred that could not be coexisted!
What kind of person was Yu ManLou? Of course, he had seen everything. Thus, he was angered to the point that his entire body began to tremble. He swept a white jade teacup onto the floor and smashed it into smithereens. Just when he was about to do something else, he realized that he had lost control of himself. Only after using all of his internal energy did he manage to suppress his violent emotions. Blood rushed to his head and Yu ManLou's jade-like face turned as red as the blood of a chicken.
Ling Tian's words had already planted a poisonous seed in his heart. As time passed, that seed would slowly germinate and grow according to Ling Tian's plan …
This move of Ling Tian's was truly sinister enough to kill without leaving a trace. But even if Yu ManLou knew that, he could only step in! Thus, Yu ManLou was filled with anger and sadness. His emotions were unable to be stabilized.
"Head Deacon." Yu ManLou's voice was low as though he was moaning.
"This subordinate is here." The high priest took a step forward uneasily. He felt as if there were a hundred little deer in his heart. His heart was thumping so hard that it felt like it was about to explode. He naturally knew what he had done to the two young nobles and could guess why Yu ManLou had called for him. Thus, he immediately fell into a state of panic.
Yu ChaoRan was a senior figure in Tamago and one of the most senior figures. In terms of seniority, he was even Yu ManLou's uncle. He was the blood brother of Yu ChaoChen and his position in Tamago could be said to be extremely important. However, in front of this decisive Family Head, this Head Deacon did not even dare to breathe loudly. After witnessing the bloody history of the Yu Family, he naturally knew how cruel and vicious this seemingly magnanimous Family Head was. Ever since Yu ManLou took over the Yu Family, he had never shown mercy to those who should be killed and those who should not be killed.
Thus, even if Yu ChaoRan was given a few more guts, he would definitely not dare to show any disrespect or fear in front of this nephew of his. Furthermore, in front of this Family Head, he would never dare to take advantage of his seniority and claim to be the Family Head's uncle.
This was because he knew that the Family Head did not like him!
Yu ManLou's gaze was like a knife as he stared at him coldly. He did not say a single word for a long time and cold sweat began to drip down Yu ChaoRan's face. Droplets of sweat trickled down his nose and dripped onto the ground. Not long later, there was a puddle of water on the ground. The Head Deacon stood there with his body bowed but did not dare to move.
"Head Deacon seems to be very busy during this period of time." Yu ManLou finally opened his mouth and said with a tinge of boredom, "You are already so old and it is best not to tire yourself out!"
The Head Deacon's body trembled and he replied hoarsely, "Yes, thank you for Family Head's concern. This subordinate will remember it."
Yu ManLou looked at him coldly for a while before finally retracting his gaze. Everything should be as such. Since he did not even want to discipline his own son, why should he make things difficult for his right-hand man? In Yu ManLou's heart, this Head Deacon Yu ChaoRan was far more important than his two sons. This was because Yu ChaoRan still had some value that he could make use of.
Feeling the Family Head's gaze shift away from him, Yu ChaoRan let out a sigh of relief and felt a chill run down his spine. Only then did he realize that his clothes had already been drenched in cold sweat and when the cold wind blew, he felt an indescribable discomfort.
Yu ManLou let out a long sigh of relief but to Yu ChaoRan, it sounded like a long sigh. Yu ChaoRan could not help but feel his heart tighten. Yu ManLou then said gently, "I heard that the former prime minister of the Northern Wei, Su Jianyan, has a daughter waiting to be betrothed?" Yu ManLou's voice was calm as though he was just casually asking.
Yu ChaoRan did not know the meaning behind Yu ManLou's question and replied carefully, "Yes, this subordinate has also heard of it. I heard that this lass is only 16 years old and is extremely charming. She is also known as the number one beauty in Bright Jade City. However, this old man has never seen her before. Family Head is asking if you are going to propose a marriage for the two young nobles? "
A rare look of embarrassment flashed across Yu Manlou's jade-like face as he muttered to himself, "Those two little bastards … how are they worthy of her? Mmm … since that's the case, pick an auspicious day and bring her in. " He did not say which young noble he was going to marry but said that his two sons were not worthy. If that was the case, then who was worthy? Who was she going to marry? Wasn't it obvious?
Yu ChaoRan's face twitched as though he was enduring something. He then said respectfully, "Yes," After which, he thought for a moment and said, "The 8th of this month is an auspicious day and is suitable for marriage. Mmm … isn't it a little too rushed?"
Yu ManLou responded with an 'oh' and asked calmly, "Is it very rushed?"
Yu ChaoRan's heart skipped a beat and he chuckled, "No rush, no rush, there is definitely enough time." He then cursed in his heart, It is already the third day of the month! My goodness, even an ordinary family would have to prepare for the marriage of their daughter for at least two to three months! She was once the daughter of the Prime Minister of the imperial court. No matter what, she would have to go through all the formalities, right? Even if it was the fastest, it would take at least half a year! But now, Yu ManLou actually said that he could not wait a single moment! Family Head, what is going on?
Yu ManLou turned around and saw the strange expression on his face. He then asked, "What are you laughing at? Is this matter very funny? "
"Ah … this subordinate … this subordinate doesn't dare." Yu ChaoRan immediately broke out in cold sweat. "This subordinate will go and do it right away." He did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left.
The daughter of the prime minister was like the daughter of a poor farmer in Yu ManLou's mouth. He just had to say that he was going to marry her and she was going to marry him. Furthermore, everyone was certain that not to mention the few days of preparation, even if Yu ManLou said 'now', it would not take much effort. Even if it took effort, it would be someone else doing it. The Tamago Family only cared about the results.
The Family Head of the Tamago Family had a status that was a hundred times higher than the imperial family in the Northern Wei! So what if she was the prime minister's daughter? Furthermore, he was a prime minister who was past his prime!
Looking at the Head Deacon running away, Yu ManLou's eyes turned cold as though there were two ghostly flames burning in them.
The Family Head of the Tamago Family Yu ManLou was going to take in a concubine!
While this news was intentionally concealed, it still spread out like the wind. In just a single day, the entire Bright Jade City knew about this huge matter. Naturally, it also reached the ears of Ling Tian who was currently lying in bed.
When Ling Tian heard about this matter, his first reaction was to spit out the tea in his mouth onto Xiao YanXue's body. This caused Xiao YanXue to be angered to the point her eyebrows furrowed. She could not help but want to pounce on this person who spoiled the mood.
After Ling Tian returned and Xiao YanXue knew that there was no longer any danger, she immediately pestered him to concoct a potion to restore her looks. The moment the potion was successfully concocted, she could not wait any longer and rushed into her room to wash off her disguise powder. Only after confirming that she had fully recovered did she walk out excitedly to show off her beauty in front of her beloved. Who knew that the only thing that welcomed her was a cup of tea …
Ling Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry. To think that the sanctimonious old fogey would actually be so lustful … However, Ling Tian also knew that just because the other party was able to accept such a beneficial suggestion, even if it was the suggestion of his enemy, it could be seen how frightening his intelligence was.
There were millions of people in the world, but how many of them were able to accept the opinions of others? As for martial experts, it was even rarer for them to be able to accept the opinions of others. This was especially so for a peerless expert like Yu ManLou, an overlord of a region. Ling Tian had only seen Yu ManLou in his past life and present life, and that was the only person he had seen who would be able to accept the 'disgusting' opinion of his greatest enemy.
Ling Tian asked himself, if he was in Yu ManLou's position, after he had 'humiliated' him, would he be able to accept the other party's opinion calmly? Ling Tian laughed bitterly. Even he would not be able to do so.
Yu ManLou was indeed not an ordinary person and was indeed worthy of being his greatest enemy.
Xiao YanXue hurriedly wiped the tea off her face. Seeing that Ling Tian was still laughing so hard, she thought that he was mocking her and could not help but be angered. Taking a step forward, she grabbed onto his collar and said in exasperation, "Are you crazy?! What are you laughing at? Shut up! You are not allowed to laugh! Be more serious! "
Following which, she realized that Ling Tian's expression had really changed after she said those words. It became solemn, respectful, and filled with wariness … such a change in expression made Xiao YanXue panic in her heart. She did not know what could have happened to make her beloved, this young lord of a generation who soared above the nine heavens, reveal such an expression! Could it be that a single sentence of hers had such an effect?!
"What happened?" Xiao YanXue slowly let go of Ling Tian and asked softly.
"Yu ManLou wants to take in a concubine." Ling Tian waved the piece of paper in his hand with a strange smile on his face.
"Ah?" Xiao YanXue was taken aback and stuttered, "Yu … Man … Lou … wants to … wants to take in a concubine? He … he … he should be past the age of knowing his destiny! "
"Not yet, but it seems to be around seventy!" Ling Tian replied.
"Not fifty? Seventy … heavens, isn't that 49? What's the difference between that and fifty?! I wonder which unlucky fellow gave him this idea. To think that an old man would actually want to defile a virgin! "Xiao YanXue said with a face full of indignation.
Ling Tian revealed a rare look of awkwardness, "I seem to be the unlucky fellow who instigated this matter. Yu ManLou wanted to take in a concubine purely because of my instigation …"
