Tang Wulin tried to sound humble in his words for he was rejecting a marriage proposal from the princess and a request of an emperor before so many people. His heart was genuinely filled with regret.
Dai Tianling remained green with rage. No matter how many ulterior goals he had plotted along with this union by marriage, the happiness he wanted for his daughter was still the most important part of it. He had hoped that his beloved daughter would find joy.
Yet he saw his daughter's tears in return.
The rage in his heart was already burning wildly. He wished he could turn this boy into ashes. As a father, he was filled with hostility at any man that attempted to get close to his daughter. For someone that had the audacity to reject his daughter… He wished that he could tear them into shreds.
Veins were already protruding out from the Emperor's hands while the aura emitted by his body was fluctuating unstably.
