Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318 Beiting Family, Every Single One a True Man
“`
Extinct heir? Isn’t that a bit too severe? The Chi Fei brothers were both somewhat puzzled. Didn’t the old man have two grandsons? Even if he thought Xu Xiaomo was a man, and Lord Beiting Jing couldn’t have children with Xu Xiaomo, wasn’t there still Beiting Huang?
However, when the two men’s gazes fell upon Beiting Huang and saw his intimate relationship with Yan Ye, they instantly became so angry that they spat up blood again.
“What nonsense are you spouting, old man? You’re actually blaming Xiaomo now? Haven’t you taken a good look at what kind of family traditions one of the four major families—the Beiting Family—upholds?” Chi Lan pointed mercilessly at Beiting Huang, then at Lord Beiting Jing, “One after another, you’re all too into your heroic male bonds. It serves you right that the Beiting Family should end its lineage!”
Beiting Lin was stunned, followed by everyone else in the bedchamber, who also froze in shock. They hadn’t realized until Chi Lan pointed it out, but now that he had mentioned it, almost everyone became aware of the issue. As Chi Lan said, Beiting Huang and Lord Beiting Jing both seemed to be interested in men.
While everyone’s eyes showed a hint of mockery, Xu Xiaomo’s eyes brimmed with hurt. He stared intently at Lord Beiting Jing with an especially wounded expression, tears rolling about in his eyes as he accused Lord Beiting Jing, “You, you, you actually have such thoughts. If I were to tell you that I am a woman, would you be very disappointed?”
Because he was influenced by his mother Su Mo and held no prejudice or disdain for same-sex love, Xu Xiaomo could not accept it happening to himself.
After speaking, worried that his brother would misunderstand, he hastily said to Beiting Huang, “Brother, I don’t mean what you’re thinking. Although I feel like you being with the Devil Emperor is a bit of a waste, if you two are truly in love, I will still support you.”
What is all this about? Both Lord Beiting Jing and Beiting Huang couldn’t help but smile wryly. Beiting Huang nodded slightly, indicating he didn’t mind, whereas Lord Beiting Jing was still being stared down by Xu Xiaomo’s angry and sad eyes, waiting for his response.
“You, you, I, I…” Poor thing, the young master of the renowned Beiting Family was so anxious at that moment he couldn’t even speak properly, finally managing to squeeze out, “Whether you’re male or female, it’s not something I have ever cared about!”
I always saw you as another Little Ninth. I never expected it would lead to such a misunderstanding.
Xu Xiaomo’s eyes remained fixed on Lord Beiting Jing in shock and confusion, but they also revealed a glimmer of delight. He kept staring at Lord Beiting Jing, making the latter somewhat embarrassed and feeling like he couldn’t remain there any longer. He slipped away and dashed out of the bedchamber.
Wanting to pursue him but worried about leaving Xu Xiaomo behind, Chi Fei and Chi Lan decided to first comfort Xu Xiaomo. After all, the little princess of the Nine Provinces Ink Region had seemed on the verge of tears.
“Xiaomo, did he bully you?” patting his chest, Chi Fei said, “Tell your brother, if he bullied you, I’ll go and castrate him…”
“Who do you want to castrate?” Beiting Huang slowly stepped out from Yan Ye’s embrace, came to stand at the edge of the bed, and gave Xu Xiaomo a glance. He looked the Chi Fei brothers up and down with an unrestrained gaze, brazen and audacious, leaving the two speechless with anger. This young man had become quite feared by Chi Fei and Chi Lan after they witnessed him slaying Ming.
Seeing Chi Fei and Chi Lan bow their heads slightly and their earlier arrogance slowly dissipating, Beiting Huang smiled in satisfaction, “In the future, I don’t want to hear anything unflattering about my brother from your mouths. Great Sovereign Chi Xiao and Yan Ye might be good friends, but I am certainly not!”
