CHAPTER 21: What a Commotion...
Gao Sheng, the eldest young master of the Gao Family, has always been dissatisfied with this marriage arrangement. He even went so far as to defy his family, running to the lower realms to mix with Diwu Qingrou, unwilling to accept that he has such a fiancée...
If that were the case, Ji Mo's affection for Hu Yan Ao Bo would bring relief to Gao Sheng! At least he would have shed a heavy burden.
However, the reality is quite the opposite!
Disregarding his fiancée is one thing, but having someone else snatch her away… that is completely unacceptable!
Especially since this marriage ties into the alliance between the Hu Yan family and the Gao family. If this engagement were to fall through, the alliance would naturally cease to exist. If Hu Yan Ao Bo were to follow Ji Mo, then the Hu Yan family would align with the Ji family.
The Gao family and the Ji family have always been at odds... Does this not create two formidable enemies?
Moreover, Gao Sheng's reputation is at stake; the whole Middle Three Heavens is buzzing: Wow! How impressive! Ji Mo has snatched Gao Sheng's wife... It's that Miss Ao Bo from the Hu Yan family...
What kind of rumor is this? The marriage has yet to be finalized, and she's merely his fiancée; yet, the gossip has spread, leaving Gao Sheng with a green-hued reputation...
A family crisis, a tarnished reputation, and such humiliation! This is intolerable!
Eldest Young Master Gao is furious!
He then issued a statement: Even if I do not want her, in name, she is still my fiancée! What is Ji Mo doing barging in? The humiliation you have inflicted upon me cannot be overlooked! You must clarify the facts before all the heroes of the world and apologize to me! Additionally, your Ji family must compensate for my loss of reputation and emotional distress...
Of course, Ji Mo refused, leading to a standoff; but... let’s not forget there are many spectators!
And most of these spectators revel in chaos, thus immediately a chorus of jeers erupted, with everyone fanning the flames, claiming the two were about to duel...
At this critical moment, a pivotal character emerged! This was a figure who could turn the tide of the situation, someone who thrived on chaos and had no regard for rules: Rocky Luo!
This Young Master Luo boldly stepped forward to support Ji Mo, and on one occasion while drunk, he shouted in a tavern: What’s going on!? This Gao Sheng really doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness! Ji Mo is interested in your wife; that is giving you face! And yet, you are still unreasonable—it's simply asking for a beating! If you dare to raise any unrealistic fantasies again, I’ll be the first to slap your face! No matter what, I must support Ji Mo’s pursuit of true love; I’ll go so far as to beat Gao Sheng into a pig’s head...
Rocky Luo's words ignited the martial arts world!
Rocky Luo had recently been appointed to the 'Wolf Sword Throne'; furthermore, with his selection among the top ten young masters, the Luo family's influence was on the rise, and his statement proved that the Luo family supported the Ji family!
Not only was the Gao family furious, but even the Luo family members were enraged: This is clearly not a family decision! The family hasn’t even reached a resolution yet, yet Young Master Luo is already representing the family outside!
Next, Young Master Dreamfall from the Dream Clan stepped up to support Gao Sheng. But soon after, Dong Wushang from the Dong Clan appeared forcefully, waving his Ink Blade, declaring the stance: Support Ji Mo!
Li Xiong Tu from the Li family, known for his fiery temperament and hatred of evil, heard that Gao Sheng's wife had been taken and that the man who took her was extremely arrogant. Caught up in the heat of the moment, he confronted Dong Wushang.
Thus, six major families were now involved!
At this critical juncture, Gu Duxing appeared like a dark horse, coldly questioning the world: “Who dares to steal a wife from my brother!? Gao Sheng’s wife being taken is his own failure; why are you all meddling!?”
