章 691: Chapter 687: Tang Yuehua: None of You Working Here Is Comparable to My Husband!_1
Hao Tian Clan, hidden within a massive hall nestled among the mountains.
Elder Tang Xiao, the current Sect Master, sat at the head of the table, with the seven elders seated on either side.
Their brows were furrowed, and they looked at the dignified and elegant young matron standing before them with displeasure etched on their faces.
"Yuehua, have you lost your mind?"
Sect Master Tang Xiao rose, pointing at the beautiful woman with heartfelt pain and frustration.
"The Dragon still commands respect even in death, and though we in the Hao Tian Clan have retreated from the world, we still rank among the upper three families."
"The cultivation levels of the elders within our sect have not fallen behind either, with five Titled Douluo among us."
"You, as the Princess of Hao Tian Sect, hold such an esteemed status, how can you be smitten with a young man without any background?"
The seventh elder, his face cold and rigid, trembled with anger, "Yuehua, not to mention the mismatched statuses, you are like an old cow eating..."
The words 'tender grass' the seventh elder was too agitated to say, too ashamed to speak them out loud.
Confronted with criticism and disapproval from all sides, Tang Yuehua's gaze remained steadfast, without a trace of wavering.
She argued with reason:
"Big brother, who I like should be my own business, shouldn't it?"
"I've been alone for so many years, never giving my heart to any man. Now that I've found my ideal gentleman, shouldn't you be happy for me and wish me well?"
Wish you well?
Tang Xiao's eyes bulged with incredulity.
"Let me ask you, what sect or family does this young man come from?"
Tang Yuehua shook her head, "He comes from neither sect nor family."
Tang Xiao questioned further, "Does this person possess a world-renowned, top-tier Martial Soul?"
"No," Tang Yuehua replied.
"No appropriate sect, no matching status, not even the right age, my blessing would be bullshit!!" Tang Chen, known for his fiery temper, cursed outright.
Brothers always regard their sisters highly.
Now that his sister had suddenly returned home, telling him she wanted to marry, it shocked him to no end.
It would be fine if it was a normal marriage.
But the sister claimed to be in love with a young man.
How could that be alright?
Tang Xiao exploded with the belief that some smooth-talking youth had deceived his sister.
At this time, the seventh elder stood up and said, "Yuehua, you are not young anymore, and you have been around Tiandou City for many years."
"By all accounts, you shouldn't be susceptible to deception."
"Deceived? What do you mean?" Tang Yuehua's gaze grew sharp as she focused on him.
The seventh elder explained, "With the background of our Hao Tian Clan, anyone with intent could find out about us."
"Now that the Hao Tian Clan remains reclusive, who knows how many are scheming in the shadows, frustrated by the lack of opportunity. Perhaps, they've decided to use you as a starting point."
"Sending a man of deep cunning and handsome looks to seduce you, thereby obtaining information about our Hao Tian Clan."
Even someone as composed as Tang Yuehua couldn't help but tremble with rage at the elder's words.
"Seventh elder, say no more."
"I respect you as my elder, but that doesn't give you the right to speak ill of my beloved."
"He is—definitely not that sort of person."
The seventh elder, rebuked, his face lacked luster, as he tapped his cane on the ground.
He turned his head to look at Tang Xiao.
"Look at this, look at this, how sensible Yuehua used to be as a child, and now she's even learned to talk back to the elders of our sect for the sake of an outsider."
"This has to be some conniving man sent by an enemy force to sow discord within our Hao Tian Clan."
"If you ask me, it's very likely someone from Martial Soul Hall."
"Seventh elder!!" Tang Yuehua snapped, her beautiful eyes brimming with intense dissatisfaction.
"Yuehua," Tang Xiao called out, asserting, "I understand how you feel."
"After all, nobody wants others to speak ill of their loved ones."
"But you must understand that we are your true family."
"We share the same blood, and we're only speculating together based on facts, how could we ever harm you?"
Speculating my ass!
If it weren't for Tang Yuehua's good upbringing from a young age, and her years of concealing her brilliance at Yuexuan,
she would have cursed out loud long ago.
She said coldly, "So my vision is worthless in your eyes?"
At this point, several other elders jumped out, acting as peacemakers, to soften the explosive atmosphere in the hall.
"Yuehua, let me say something fair," the third elder said. "It's inevitable to be deceived when you're out and about, but I'm not so arbitrary."
"Bring the boy you like back with you, and let all the elders and your elder brother thoroughly assess him. If there really are no issues,"
"even if the boy is of poor background and weak strength, we are willing to give him a chance to marry the Princess of Haotian Sect."
Tang Yuehua remained unmoved.
She was not some naïve girl. The third elder's seemingly fair words
were actually a clear indication that he was taking the side of Tang Xiao and the seventh elder.
Bringing the person back would mean that they could treat him however they wanted, subject him to whatever difficulties they pleased, right?
Tang Yuehua's image had always been that of a stable person, but that didn't mean she lacked temperament.
Especially since Luo Yu was her Achilles' heel.
She had fallen in love with him to the core.
Anyone who dared to speak ill of Luo Yu was her enemy.
Her gaze swept across the elders who had just slandered Luo Yu.
"In all my life, I, Tang Yuehua, need not explain myself to any of you."
"Whom I like is not for you to point fingers at and discuss."
"The man I like is naturally a top-notch hero under the heavens, not someone you can question out of thin air."
Her resolute and powerful words stunned all the elders and Tang Xiao in the room.
They had never seen Tang Yuehua show such a resolute side before, it was almost too incredible.
"You—you are out of line!!!" the seventh elder said angrily, his aged face quivering, his finger pointing straight at Tang Yuehua's face.
Tang Xiao's expression also became grave. Although he had always doted on this sister,
it didn't mean he could watch her be so deluded by someone else.
It was plain to see she was going against her own people.
Thinking of how his obedient little sister was now turning against him, her elder brother, for the sake of a man, Tang Xiao felt a pain so intense he could hardly breathe.
Tang Xiao said assertively,
"Yuehua, that boy has no background, no strength, and is too young and inexperienced. I will not agree to your being with such a man."
"Perhaps you were just momentarily taken in by that boy's sweet talk, got carried away, and thought of being with this fellow, but maybe after some time, you won't want to be with him anymore."
"Love, at times, is blind."
"You should listen to your elder brother and the elders. We have all been through this."
Tang Yuehua suddenly laughed: "Big brother, you can call him a scoundrel, but you can't criticize him for anything else."
Tang Xiao was stunned.
"Scoundrel?"
"Are you saying this bastard has other women?"
"And you can tolerate that?"
"I'm willing to."
Tang Yuehua raised her swan-like neck, her rebellious mindset now fully provoked by the crowd.
Her own judgment was so easily dismissed, and she was very angry.
Tang Xiao was on the verge of going crazy. Who was this guy who could enchant his sister, who had never been interested in men, into such a state?
"You're not going to tell me that we need to give him time to develop and not to despise the poor young, are you?"
"Tsk."
Tang Yuehua looked around proudly with a smug smile on her face.
"It's not that I don't respect my big brother and the elders present,"
"But to speak the honest truth, you all combined are not equal to the man I fancy."
"What?"
The fiercely powerful elders in the room instantly rose from their seats, and Tang Xiao was also enraged....
