Even though he understood that their mission was mostly secondary, it was still true that the Cui Family intended to join the Ye Family in this fight.
Yet there had been such a big development in the situation without them being informed of it, wasn't this the same as forcing them to die here!?
"Patriarch Li must surely be joking, how could something like that happen when the Family sent us here with the intention of proposing this marriage!"
"Hmph~! Your Cui Family is truly too smart, or should I say too vicious! Thinking of forming relations to both sides in this battle, and then later side with the winner!
This old man's eyes and vision have truly been opened lately, Cui Family!"
"Patriarch Li…"
"This Young Master had never thought that the Cui Family people were so despicable and vicious!
This time when I return home, I will have to relay everything to Grandfather, so that he deals with this matter! My Ling Family will surely not tolerate something like this!"
These words were said by Young Master Ling who had a halo of justice and righteousness enshrouding him at the moment.
"That's right, my Cao Family feels like this is too much as well! It seems like people are forgetting morals and ancestors' guidance!"
Many people started looking weirdly at the whole scene while whispering all kinds of murmurs and problems, they were all slowly sliding on the coalition's side.
The Cui Family people were having red and green faces while looking at the whole situation and the people around them in anger and discontent.
The only Cui Family person who seemed to not care about the surroundings, or about what these guys were up to was Cui Xie.
He continued to eat and drink to his content. He had found out that the more he practiced and cultivated the hungrier he became sometimes.
Of course, that was mostly due to the fact that it was easier for him to gather Qi and energy through the food that was slowly refined in his stomach.
His presence, actions, and conduct surely surprised and startled quite a few people, who didn't understand just what was that guy thinking.
In this crowd, though there were two guys in particular that didn't like his standing, and even more didn't like him in the least, as the Young Master of the Ling Family couldn't help but say in a mocking tone,
"It seems like Young Master Cui Xie doesn't care much about the marriage that his Elders are proposing for him!
Could it be that you don't want to give a face to the Li Family, or better yet your Cui Family!?"
The whole crowd turned to look towards Cui Xie, while the guy himself was licking his fingers. After hearing those words, he turned, took a look at Young Master Ling, before saying,
"Does my attitude bother you Young Master Trashling!? Shouldn't you be happy and smug since you robbed my would-be fiancé and shut your shithole!?"
The whole venue was shocked at hearing those words, it was just like they had just illusioned those words. How could it be, right!?
How would someone dare to talk to the Young Master of the Ling Family like that!? It was nothing short of blasphemous.
While everyone was still shocked by his previous words, Young Master Cui Xie continued speaking,
"Don't worry though, you aren't the stupidest person in the hall, as that wishful Patriarch Li Saint is way beyond you in that regard!"
"Junior…"
"Don't scream man, hear me out first!
I understand that you want to humiliate the Cui Family, and even fight against them with the help of the Ling and Cao families, I do.
The truth is that I wouldn't mind much about that. After all, the Cui Family owes me a little bit too much and they not only haven't treated me as they should but are even going overboard.
So if you were after only the Cui Family, I wouldn't care, I would even help you a bit. Truly!
But you had to go and try to humiliate them through me!
Did you forget why you tried so hard to make a connection with my Cui Family in the first place!? Did you forget who I am!? Did you truly think that I would just accept this laying down!?"
"Hmph~! What can you do? Just what thing are you!?"
"Cui Xie, I want your life~!"
It was at this moment that Young Master Ling seemed to have finally regained himself from the shock he experienced as he jumped towards Cui Xie with his sword unsheathed.
His explosion surely caught everyone by surprise, but Cui Xie didn't seem to care much about him, as without wasting time he also pulled out a sword from nowhere and blocked the attack.
'Clangggg…, Boooommmmm…'
The crowd had yet to regain their senses from the sudden attack, when something even more shocking happened, as Cui Xie a Realm 2 expert blocked the sneak attack of a Realm 3 expert.
Without trying to lower Cui Xie, the whole country knew about the potential and talent of this Young Master Ling, and he was lauded as one of the future leaders of the Country.
Yet, that super genius had actually not only failed in his sneak attack but he had also been pushed back 6 steps, while Cui Xie was pushed only 5 steps.
"This… How could this be!? How could trash like you survive my attack!?"
"Attack!? That was just a shameless and sneaky monkey jump! You can't call that an attack!"
"Yoouuu… I will kill you~!"
'Claannggg~!'
With that said he jumped into attack once again, while this time Cui Xie defended the attack much easier, as he said,
"Whoa~! You truly dare to try and kill me, aren't you afraid of what will happen to you and your family if you kill me!? Don't you know who is protecting me!?
Can you handle the consequences!? I am sure that even the guys who sent you here told you to not try anything stupid without the secret ingredient, right!?"
Those words truly destroyed Young Master Ling's confidence and anger, as he couldn't help but stop and start thinking deeply about the issue.
Cui Xie saw this happen, and didn't continue the fight, while he turned towards Li Saint, and said,
"Patriarch Li Saint, you were saying something… Oh yes, what can I do, and what thing am I, right!?
Well, let me tell you I am the young man who has a large part of the actions on the newly distributed elixirs.
I can, and I will stop the distribution of the elixirs to your Li Family! In fact, from this moment on whoever trades with your Li Family will be exempt from getting those elixirs in the future!
Now you tell me 'Patriarch Li Saint' what a thing are you and your Li Family!?"
"Heheheh~! Brat you are too stupid, do you think that with the backup of the Ling and Cao Families, my Li Family will be blocked.
You are just an egg hitting the wall!"
"Hehehe~! Patriarch Li seems to have quite the confidence in the Ling and Cao Families, I truly wonder what you might have offered them.
Did you offer them to become their dog that would bark whenever they wanted you to!? Are they going to give you biscuits!?
Since you have given Li Yao to the Ling Family, don't tell me you gave Madam Li to the Cao Families! Hahahaha~! I think your nickname needs to be changed to something more proper, don't you think so!?"
"Yoouuu…"
"What!?"
The whole venue was shocked when someone amidst the crowd was unable to control their selves and their emotions as they screamed in startle and surprise.
Even though the Li Saint hadn't actually admitted to something like that, that instantaneous moment of startle, was enough to demonstrate his intentions.
It looked like he was truly thinking of giving Madam Li to the Cao Family, and someone in the crowd was clearly surprised and displeased with the fact.
Even Cui Xie seemed to be a bit surprised with the whole thing, as he turned his head in the direction of the voice, only to see the face of his enemy.
That's right, it was Master Gao, that guy who had somehow escaped from the dungeon and appeared in the middle of the party, as he had just heard and confirmed the situation.
His wife was actually being sent to someone else, and by the looks of it was just an overgrown bastard brat.
"Is that true!?"
Without caring about the crowd and the people around, he asked in a threatening voice about the Li Saint, and the Li Family people.
"How did you escape the dungeon, what are you doing here!? Who do you think you are, guards arrest him and send him back, I will personally check his cell later!"
As one of the dogs of Li Pimp started screaming orders, Master Gao who didn't seem to care about the situation started laughing like a maniac.
"Hhahahahhaahhah~! What a good Li Family! Hhahahahahaha~! You truly deserve your reputation!"
"Heh!? It seems like I was right, Li Pim…Saint this Juniors eyes and vision have truly been expanded by the 'righteousness' and 'character' of your Li Family!
You are sending your daughters to marry two or three times, is this some kind of tradition? The poor woman's husband had yet to die as well. Tsk~! Tsk~! Tsk~!"
"Cuuiiii Xieeee~!"
The Li Saint was clearly enraged by the whole situation, as he was about to personally take action against Cui Xie, when suddenly…
