Chang Mingyang's words carried a sense of coercion!
Everyone knew that Lu Qingxuan was gentle and knew how to repay kindness.
In the past, when she entered the Wanjian Pavilion, she had displayed astonishing talent. However, she had rejected Fan Wujie's invitation and was willing to take Chang Chixiao as her master to repay his kindness.
Many people knew that Chang Mingyang had feelings for Lu Qingxuan. Although his proposal to Lu Qingxuan surprised many people, it was not completely unexpected.
Men and women should get married when they were of age. This was normal.
However, after Chang Mingyang mentioned the marriage proposal, he added that it was the wish of Chang Chixiao and the House of Internal Affairs. This was not a simple love between a man and a woman. It was obvious that he had grasped Lu Qingxuan's weakness and forced her to submit.
Everyone frowned when they realized this. They felt that Chang Mingyang's actions were despicable. He was actually using kindness as a threat.
Even Qi Yuzhen was so angry that his brows were furrowed and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Similarly, he had feelings for Lu Qingxuan. At this moment, when he saw Lu Qingxuan being forced, he naturally felt indignant.
However, before long, Qi Yuzhen sighed.
Although he was the son of the Swordmaster, the entire internal affairs faction was under Chang Chixiao's control. Since Chang Mingyang dared to be so arrogant, he must have received Chang Chixiao's approval and represented the internal affairs faction.
In this way, no matter how unwilling he was, there was no turning back.
"What a shameless person!" Xia Qingcheng was also furious. She could see that Lu Qingxuan had no romantic feelings for Chang Mingyang. However, she was forced by Chang Mingyang to the point where she did not know what to say. She was truly pitiful.
Lu Ling and the other two were the same. They stared at Chang Mingyang with disdain and snorted angrily.
As for Chu Xingyun, his expression was calm. He took a deep look at the two spiritual beast eggs and immediately looked away.
Firstly, there was no friendship between him and Lu Qingxuan. Whether or not Lu Qingxuan was forced had nothing to do with him.
Secondly, his purpose in coming here was to find clues about the Shadow Swordsman from Lu Qingxuan. He had no right to interfere with the latter's personal choice.
With this thought in mind, Chu Xingyun was about to continue searching for clues when he saw Chang Mingyang turn his head and say to him, "Sword Master Luo Yun, can you bear witness for me?"
Chang Mingyang's tone was flat, but his face was filled with pride, as if he was showing off. He said, "The marriage proposal cannot be sloppy. It must be witnessed by an authoritative person. In the palace, as the Sword Master, you are undoubtedly the most suitable."
The more he spoke, the more pleased Chang Mingyang became. It was as if he had already gotten Lu Qingxuan's agreement. He was so pleased with himself that there was even a hint of arrogance!
He had always felt that Chu Xingyun had a good impression of Lu Qingxuan.
Thus, he wanted to use those words to continuously provoke Chu Xingyun so as to vent his earlier depression.
After all, from Chang Mingyang's point of view, the two spiritual beast eggs were more than enough as a betrothal gift. In addition, Lu Qingxuan was indebted to him. How could Lu Qingxuan reject him?
The crowd could feel Chang Mingyang's intention. They looked at each other and saw the bitter smile in each other's eyes. This Chang Mingyang was really vengeful. Even at this time, he was still mocking Chu Xingyun.
When Chu Xingyun heard this, he immediately frowned.
He did not want to care about the matter between Chang Mingyang and Lu Qingxuan. However, Chang Mingyang provoked him in front of everyone for the sake of his laughable pride. He even mocked him.
"It seems that he really thinks highly of himself," Chu Xingyun looked at Chang Mingyang as if he was looking at an idiot. His heart was already filled with coldness.
Seeing that Chu Xingyun was silent, Chang Mingyang felt relieved. Just as he was feeling pleased, he saw Chu Xingyun slowly stand up and say, "Of course I am willing to bear witness to this matter. However, you are taking a pair of dead eggs as a betrothal gift. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Thump!
Chang Mingyang's expression froze. First, it was cold. Then, he sneered, "Sword Master Luo Yun, I know that you are indignant. However, you are really lacking in demeanor by saying such words!"
"This pair of spiritual beast eggs was obtained by my father after many hardships in a dangerous place. Even now, the two spiritual beast eggs are still resonating with each other and emitting a strong vitality. My father and the other sword masters of the Internal Affairs Branch can testify to this."
"Don't tell me that your vision is better than everyone else's?"
Chu Xingyun rolled his eyes and sneered, "So what? A dead egg is a dead egg. You used a dead egg as a betrothal gift. Not only did you lose face, but you also lost face for the House of Internal Affairs."
"You!" Chang Mingyang was enraged. Flames of fury surged in his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to skin Chu Xingyun alive.
"Furthermore …"
Chu Xingyun ignored Chang Mingyang's anger and said calmly, "On the surface, you are proposing, but in reality, you are grasping Lu Qingxuan's weakness and making her unable to refute. Such a proposal is too despicable. Like father, like son."
With that, Chang Ming Yang's expression froze. The crowd was dumbfounded.
They were all aware of this, but they did not say it out loud because of the immense power of the Internal Affairs Branch. However, Chu Xingyun did not care at all. The moment he opened his mouth, he directly stabbed Chang Mingyang's sore spot.
Chang Mingyang was already angry. Now, Chu Xingyun's words caused the anger to surge out. It flowed freely in his body and attacked his heart!
"Who are you to tell us what to think and what to do? Lu Qingxuan already owes the Chang Clan a favor. With the two spiritual beast eggs as a betrothal gift, do you think she has a choice?"
Chang Mingyang was so angry that he blurted out all the words in his heart.
In an instant, the entire place fell silent.
Lu Qingxuan's pupils constricted abruptly. Looking at the flustered and exasperated Chang Mingyang, she immediately felt a trace of coldness. Even the last bit of goodwill she had for him was gone.
Chang Mingyang also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Looking anxious, he hurriedly explained, "Junior Sister Qingxuan, what I said just now was just a moment of anger. It is not the truth. My sincerity towards you can be seen by the sun and moon. You don't have to doubt it. Otherwise, why would I give you such precious spiritual beast eggs without any conditions?"
As he spoke, Chang Mingyang glared at Chu Xingyun. He was really angry.
If Chu Xingyun ruined his plans again, he would not tolerate it, even if the other party was the Sword Master.
Chu Xingyun ignored Chang Mingyang's gaze again and curled his lips. "Actually, the method to prove whether these two spiritual beast eggs are dead or not is very simple."
Hearing this, Chang Mingyang did not dare to say anything.
He looked at Chu Xingyun and suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
After a long time.
Chu Xingyun grinned. "As long as the two spiritual beast eggs are cut open, it will be clear whether they are good or bad."
