“How can both sides be fully satisfied in this world? Resolving such a matter will inevitably tarnish someone’s reputation,” said Tang Luo coldly, “If you wish to protect them, then you have to sacrifice yourself. Is that not a problem?”
If he wants to go along with the other party’s lies while also maintaining the honor of the four young ladies, then a reasonable explanation must be provided.
Tang Luo understood the meaning of what Xu Lao Ying was saying. He was unwilling to see a woman who he had just held in his arms the night before, die before his eyes today. However, the difficulty of handling this situation had more than doubled.
Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, Xu Lao Ying, with his keen insight, discovered the subtext, ‘As long as he was willing to sacrifice his own reputation, this matter could still be resolved.’ This realization delighted him: “It doesn’t matter, after all, I don’t have much of a reputation to speak of.”
Even though he was now a high-ranking member of the Xu Clan, the young ladies of his clan still avoided him. As a result, he remained unmarried even at the age of twenty. Reputation was something that he, as a young master, had never cared about.
“Playboy, man of romance.” Tang Luo teased, originally believing that someone like him who frequents such joyous occasions would take love matters lightly. He did not expect him to be so sentimental: “I think one day you will fall at the
hand of a woman.”
“Eh, hey! Your words, without women, there wouldn’t be this extraordinary cultivation of mine.” Xu Lao Ying laughed lightly.
Amidst the noisy shouts, the two gentlemen continued chatting softly at the top of the steps, seemingly unperturbed by the bustling crowd.
However, the matter at hand could not be resolved with their carefree chatter. -Are you sure?” Tang Luo asked indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back, facing the ten-mile-long bridal procession.
■’Ah, I’ll leave it to you, cousin!” Xu Lao Ying patted Tang Luo on the back, speaking earnestly.
“I think you’re using me as your assistant.” Tang Luo murmured under his breath, then raised his head, facing the four ladies with weapons held to their throats, and the determined crowd in Xiling, he shouted: “Why should we trust them? Based on these four women under the stairs, who among them is worthy of following the Saint King’s son!?”
His statement was so commanding that his voice drowned out the shouts from half of the city, permeating for miles, leaving nothing but silence.
What… did you say?
A massive feeling of humiliation rose in the hearts of the people of Xiling. Some of the young ladies of Xiling, who had been looking forward to the bridal procession, had already taken the four young ladies who were risking their lives for love as their role models. Upon hearing Tang Luo’s extremely cold words, they couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Those young men who were willing to take the place of the ladies upon seeing Tang Luo belittling them to worthlessness, felt a burning rage.
If Tang Luo wasn’t a well-known figure in Xiling, if he hadn’t been called the Buddha of ten thousand families after the five-acre law, the front door of Tang Mansion would have already been drowned in abuse.
The four fierce realm warriors escorting the brides lowered their heads, not out of fear, but to suppress their murderous intent, fearing that their wrath would transform the front of Tang Mansion into a deadly battlefield.
“May I ask, Mister Tang Tianjiao!” A voice filled with righteous indignation broke the silence: “These young ladies are intelligent and deeply affectionate. If they are considered undeserving of Master Xu, then I would like to know, who exactly is worthy of him?”
There weren’t many people in Xiling who dared to confront Tang Luo directly, so while everyone’s gaze shifted to the young man posing the question, they didn’t forget to observe Tang Luo’s reaction.
The one who spoke was wearing a red robe, and he had a composed demeanor with a handsome face. However, there was a raging flame in his eyes, capable of burning away all the injustices in this world.
It was none other than the young master of the Xiao family-Xiao Ziyu!
As one of the most powerful families in Xiling, aside from the Tang and Mi clans, the Xiao family had always been a benchmark for other families. The Xiao family had never let others down, producing many extraordinary talents generation after generation.
Whilst everybody thought that this generation of the Xiao family would be completely overshadowed by the prodigious talents of the Tang and Mi clans, Xiao Ziyu rose unexpectedly.
During the time in which the wandering Master Xu dominated Xiling, only three battles could be called the honor of Xiling, simultaneously letting the people of Xiling realize how powerful a peak Transcendent realm could be.
“Steel Body Tyrant” Tang Qingshan, “Beast Soul Saint King” Mi Chu, “Eight-Part Flame Dragon” Xiao Ziyu.
When these three stepped onto the arena to battle with Master Xu, it let the Wu warriors in Xiling understand the strength of those in this realm.
Xiao Ziyu, who summoned eight flame dragons right at the start of the battle, even managed to suppress Master Xu at one point, giving the people of Xiling a glimmer of hope for victory.
Although Xiao Ziyu was eventually defeated, he was still recognized as the most skilled Transcendent realm practitioner in Xiling.
in fact, in the hearts of many warriors in Xiling, the thirty-year-old Xiao Ziyu was the representative of the young warriors in Xiling.
With words from such a heavyweight figure causing a stir, the people of Xiling finally found their spokesperson. They freely expressed their views, continuously attacking Master Xu with their most malicious speculation.
“Master Xiao makes a good point. It is clear to me that Master Xu is simply making excuses. Who doesn’t know that he engages in debauchery night after night, welcoming anyone who comes.”
“Exactly! I have personally seen this ‘pure and clean’ Master Xu spend the night with eight middle-aged women!”
-I’ve seen Master Xu take several prostitutes to his room. One of them was rumored to carry a venereal disease. Could it be that our ‘virtuous’ Master Xu has already been stricken by this disease, which is why he dares not accept the four young ladies!”
Xiao Ziyu taking the lead in speaking allowed the onlooking people of Xiling, now with a clear leader, to voice their opinions. It gave them an excuse to attack Master Xu with all kinds of nasty speculation.
But Master Xu still held his head high, without a word of reproach.
Even at this point, the people of Xiling did not aim a single insult at Tang Luo. In their hearts, Tang Luo, who established the Star Pavilion, distributed work to the common people every day, and initiated the five-acre law that allowed ordinary people to have land to cultivate, was one of their own. They believed that his cold words were instructed by Master Xu, and that he was merely a pawn, which only enraged them further.
Although Tang Luo was touched by the adoration of the people of Xiling, since he had promised to help Master Xu solve the problem, these feelings would not change his mind.
After looking at Xiao Ziyu, Tang Luo said coldly again: “To me, the four young ladies below the stairs are not even comparable to brothel women.” If the crowd had been able to dismiss Tang Luo’s earlier words, thinking that his harsh words were merely instructions from Master Xu, they could no longer ignore this well-known figure of Xiling after his latest comment.
Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, the four young ladies standing beneath the stairs turned pale. The youngest, Bai Jie, couldn’t help crying. It was a pitiful sight.
The fierce realm stewards couldn’t help but raise their heads, glaring at Tang Luo on the steps.
“is Tang Tianjiao saying that even a prostitute in a brothel is better than my daughter from the Pan family!?” The Pan family’s steward gritted his teeth and spat out these words.
A person’s words should befit their status. Moreover, the higher the status, the less they can talk recklessly, because at a certain height, the words that are spoken no longer simply represent themselves.
Given Tang Luo’s status, saying that the four young ladies are not as good as prostitutes under such public scrutiny is not a simple altercation.. The four stewards could even view this as Tang Luo insulting the four distinguished families of Xiling and subsequently declaring war on them!
