They looked at Mistress Tang with inquiring gazes, but they kept silent. After all, this was none of their business, and they had no plans to interfere with the conflicts within the legendary families.
Mistress Tang slightly frowned. She was not a fool. Ming Zhi Yi purposefully spoke like this to get this kind of response from the people.
How annoying.
Ming Zhi Yi continued. "I just want to thank Mistress Tang for inviting me personally to see the faces of these honorable people. And also, to at least see the headmaster once."
Old Lu harrumphed. "Don't drive a wedge between us, Ming Zhi Yi. Just spit out what you truly want to say."
Ming Zhi Yi put his hand on his chin thoughtfully, as if hesitating. "Should I?" He took a few steps closer to them.
Ming Zhi Yi stared at the two old people. With one strike, he could kill both of them.
That wrinkled and fragile neck.
With one move of his hand, he could break that neck. He could kill the man whom he hated the most.
This opportunity was really tempting. Whenever this old man was near him, the urge to strangle the old man's neck always coursed in his body.
Alas, it was not the time yet. But, it was coming soon.
Besides, breaking this surnamed Lu's neck to end his life easily was not a satisfying revenge at all.
Ming Zhi Yi leaned forward. His voice was polite and soft. Only the three of them could hear what he was saying.
"It's not like I am a fool. Mistress Tang, I always respected you. You are the master of many great people. But please, don't forget that I am a master as well. Your people like to stare at us too much. I don't really like it when people watch me like I am an animal of some sort."
Mistress Tang stiffened.
Old Lu frowned. He did not completely know what Ming Zhi Yi was saying but he could roughly guess that Mistress Tang had done something.
"But fortunately, because your men enjoys watching us too much, I got to know the real goal of this event. Smart move, I say." He smiled amiably as if he was just telling a piece of good news.
On the other hand, Mistress Tang could not answer.
Her plan was seen through!
The sole purpose of this event was seen through by him!
It was humiliating. An utter humiliation.
How could the Tang's men reveal themselves?
Her men's ability clearly fell behind Ming Zhi Yi's!
Mistress Tang was taken aback for a while.
But as a tigress, as she was, she recovered.
This did not mean that this man could act as he wanted under the Tang family's premises.
Mistress Tang: "You might have misunderstood me. I don't have those goals you speak of. I am sincerely giving my granddaughter a private concert for everyone to enjoy. I wonder why you suspect that? Unless, you have something that must be hidden?"
She could not just lash out and berate Ming Zhi Yi. The people watching them all had valuable connection to the Tang family. Acting unmannerly right now might lose some of these people's favor, or this might turn into a scandal and become a thorn on the Tang family's name.
Ming Zhi Yi chuckled. "How adorable. I might lose my respect to you, but I still see you as someone with great strength. How come the usually neutral Tang family became nosy with other people's matter? What has my dear 'father' promised to you?"
Mistress Tang frowned deeper. She had never been disrespected like this.
Old Lu was mad. This man still had the guts to treat his elders with such arrogance!
Truly, a man not worthy of his daughter!
So regretful! And aggravating!
Old Lu could not hold it any more. He was never a man who endured things.
His old wizened hand rose and struck Ming Zhi Yi's face without warning. Ming Zhi Yi smirked and slightly took a step back to not receive the full strength of the slap.
The old man's hand only slightly grazed him.
However, in everyone's eyes, it appeared like Old Lu lost his temper and slapped the filial Ming Zhi Yi.
There was no sound from the slap.
However, the first three rows who were particularly eyeing them were stunned.
What was happening?!
A fight between Old Lu and a junior?
And as they looked closely...
Wasn't that Ming Zhi Yi, the ex-son-in law of the Lu family?
Some of them had deeper network underground and immediately recognized Ming Zhi Yi.
Ming Zhi Yi took a step back.
"I apologize if I offended you again." He slightly bowed. However, his eyes were not sincere and were clearly mocking.
It fell on the old man's eyes.
"You! Evil man! Two-faced scoundrel! Whose family did you crawl out from! Go crawl back to them and ask why they let an evil and disgusting low life like you be borne!'
Old Lu's angry words were sharp and heavy.
These irked Ming Zhi Yi.
His killing intent rose.
Nothing could irritate him more than this!
He raised his head and looked at the old man coldly. A part of himself was revealed.
Like a tiny crack on a jar of black ink, the black liquid slowly seeped out from it.
"Why don't you ask them instead?" His voice was lowered and covered with qi, so only him and the old man could hear. "Since you are not getting any younger and might meet them soon."
"Preposterous!" Old Lu trembled with rage.
Ming Zhi Yi did not stop, enjoying the look of the old man trembling with rage.
Oh, how he longed to humiliate this hateful old man!
"You will be united with your dear family soon. Once you do, please send regards to Fan Rong for me."
"You--!" Old Lu was enraged that his loudly beating heart almost erupted. His old body could not take the extreme rage. He was starting to get breathless.
Just thinking that he had allowed his most precious daughter to marry this evil man made his heart feel even worse!
Regret! Utter regret!
Ming Zhi Yi watched the old man coldly.
Lu Yin Ze was worried as he looked at his grandfather's appearance. He took a step forward.
Mistress Tang who was near sensed that Old Lu's breathing was unstable.
"Old Lu?"
She saw his hand clutch at his chest. Alarmed, she reached out to him.
"Old Lu! Breathe!" Mistress Tang supported Old Lu.
Lu Yin Ze's eyes went wide and he ran forward to his grandfather, no longer caring about the terrifying man. Nothing must happen to his grandfather! "Grandpa!"
Ming Zhi Yi stared at the wide eyes of the withering old man.
He opened his lips and used qigong to whisper only to him.
"I am only starting... Don't die yet. I still got many surprises waiting for you."
Mistress Tang's eyes went wide as she glanced at Ming Zhi Yi. Because she was right beside Old Lu, she heard it as well.
Old Lu collapsed.
"Grandpa!"
"Medics! Call for the medics!"
The hall suddenly became chaotic.
