Chu Yang let out a heavy snort, “You don’t look at what you should be looking at, but instead, you pry into what you shouldn’t! You’re just asking for enemies! Other families have invited the two of you multiple times; why hasn’t the Ling Family done the same? Because in their eyes, you are already dispensable! Advance, and you’ll be killed; retreat, and it doesn’t matter!”
The four of them lowered their heads, feeling ashamed.
Ji Mo had sweat dripping from his forehead but didn’t dare to make a sound. This was because there was an additional hand at his waist, twisting the muscles there into a mess. Behind him, Hu Yan Ao Bo’s expression was serious as she listened carefully to Chu Yang, as if that hand didn’t belong to her.
“Moreover, the young master from the Zhuge family came here and didn’t say a single word from start to finish, so low-key that it’s hard to believe. But have you seen any of the other Eight Great Families, whether it’s the arrogant Li Batian, the domineering Chen Feichen, the perverse Night Slaying Rain, or the ethereal Ye Mengse, dare to provoke the young master of the Zhuge family? Not even a polite remark! Why?”
“Is it possible that the noble children don’t greet each other when they meet in the Central Capital, far from the Upper Three Heavens? Even if there are deep-seated blood feuds, shouldn’t there be some acknowledgment when they meet?”
“This is enough to prove that they are wary of this person!”
“And this person’s low profile conveniently gives them a chance to save face.”
“Then, who exactly is this young master of the Zhuge family, who hasn’t even revealed his name?”
Chu Yang spoke all of this in one breath, and even Mo Tianji’s expression changed.
Because there were many things involved that even he had not considered or noticed at all.
“As a prominent young master among the Nine Great Families of the Upper Three Heavens, how could he not disguise himself? Think about yourselves; within the noble families of the Central Capital, you fight fiercely and desperately, but the Upper Three Heavens is no different, right?”
“Mo Tianji, you compete with Mo Tianyun, usually pretending to be like a sage; while Ao Xieyun, in front of your brothers, you surely aren’t the way you are now. Rocky Luo just recently got out of a crisis; what about before that? Ji Mo, are you really that naturally lazy?”
“Even you can put on an act! And it’s all for a family that doesn’t even compare to the branch of the Nine Great Families. Why don’t you consider that the young masters of the Nine Great Families can’t do that? Is it possible that, after a thousand years of inheritance, they’ve passed down a bunch of useless people? Is that plausible?!”
“Why do you only see the domineering, arrogant, and laughable aspects… but not the inner qualities?” Chu Yang became increasingly angry, “With your current state of mind, do you want me to take you to the Upper Three Heavens? Are you looking for death?!”
Chu Yang’s anger reached a point where he was on the verge of losing control.
The brothers had never seen Chu Yang so furious; they couldn't help but fall silent, not daring to breathe.
Mo Tianji furrowed his brows, slowly pondering: While the brothers may have some shortcomings, they certainly aren’t as pathetic as Chu Yang describes. In fact, it seems that Chu Yang has exaggerated and magnified certain disadvantages, using them to indirectly criticize the group, painting a picture that encompasses everyone…
What is his intention?
“Li Batian! He’s arrogant and overbearing right from the start, seemingly looking down on everyone. But as soon as he sees Ling Hanxue, he immediately softens. Why? Is he trying to show that he bullies the weak and fears the strong? Or is he trying to prove to others that he’s a lecherous man?”
“Let me tell you, no matter how you think of him, once you enter these two realms, then as long as you face him, it’s a guaranteed death!”
