Seeing Yu Long's reaction, the Third Elder's eyelids twitched and he felt extremely unhappy. This father and daughter are really the same. Even the way they look at people is the same.
The Great Elder stroked his beard and sat up straight. "Patriarch, I asked you and Liu'er to come here because of yesterday's visit to the Rong family to break off the engagement. You and your wife agreed to this, but... after the Third Elder had already made his intentions known to the Patriarch of the Rong family, Liu'er rushed over to stop it."
"Master, do you know what everyone in the city is saying about my Yu family right now? They treat the engagement as a joke, canceling it if they want to, and not canceling it if they don't want to. The young people are making a fuss, and the adults are making a fuss too. It's simply a joke!"
At the end of his speech, the elder's tone became increasingly serious, even angry.
"If this marriage is called off, it won't be a big deal. Everyone knows that the son of the Rong family has no spiritual roots. He will only be an ordinary person in the future, suffering from old age, sickness and death. But my young lady of the Yu family... she is a genius. She will become a great figure in the future."
The Great Elder shook his head and sighed softly, "So, no matter who it is, they will express their understanding. No elder would want to push their children into the fire pit. But now, alas..."
Yu Bie Liu rolled his eyes secretly. What you said is so true. I almost feel like a sinful and evil person.
These elders broke off the engagement for her own good, but she took it upon herself to make trouble, causing the entire family to become the talk of others... Oh, if the engagement is broken off, I'm afraid there will be even more rumors.
After hearing the Great Elder's words, Yu Long chuckled and sat up slightly: "Is that so? But why is what I heard different from what you heard, Great Elder?"
The Great Elder raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully, "Then I wonder what you heard, Patriarch?"
Yu Long turned his head and looked at his own daughter. "Of course, they said that my daughter is loyal and righteous, and will not look down on others or abandon her fiancé just because she is a member of the Yantian Sect. They also said that the second son of the Rong family is very lucky to have such a talented fiancée..."
Yubie Liumo, Dad, you are praising your daughter so blatantly, aren't you embarrassed at all? Although this is the truth... cough, although on the surface this is the truth.
After a brief pause, Yu Long glanced at the elders and continued, "The Rong family's leaders are breaking off the engagement at this juncture. This is clearly a betrayal. They are disregarding the alliance between our two families and are trying to climb up to a stronger force. How shameful!"
Perhaps Yu Long's tone was a little harsh, and as soon as he finished speaking, all the elders fell silent. The entire conference room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
Until the Third Elder stood up and broke the silence: "Who is this chatterbox talking nonsense? Do you want to die? You can't just believe everything you hear, Patriarch."
Yu Long raised his eyebrows and unconsciously praised the Third Elder's words. Although this person's stance was opposite to his, he had to admit that sometimes his "help" was quite timely.
"...That's right. What I heard from outside are just rumors. Don't take them seriously." Yu Long gave the Great Elder a perfect smile. "Great Elder, don't just listen to one side and believe it!"
The Great Elder paused stroking his beard, almost unable to maintain the expression on his face.
The Third Elder was impulsive and irritable. Normally, he was the one who was pushed out to take the lead. He never expected that at such an important moment, it was this impulsive temper that ruined his plan.
He used rumors to harm the Yu family in order to force Yu Long to cancel the engagement and sever the alliance; Yu Long then used the rumors to refute, saying that his daughter was not wrong and that the Yu family’s top management was wrong, and he even did not hesitate to include himself in the rumor.
But in fact, the words from the two people, true and false, false and true, cannot be used as a convincing reason at all.
The three elders directly made it clear that their words were just rumors, which should not be taken seriously. They directly bet on his next words, which was simply... stupid.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, the Great Elder narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement: "What the Patriarch said is true. It's just a rumor and can't be taken seriously. However... after all, it's a matter of reputation for the Yu Family. As the upper echelons of the Yu Family, we still need to pay attention to it. We must not let others criticize us, right?"
If rumors aren't an excuse, then let's use reputation. They're essentially the same thing, just use a more respectable name.
"Reputation?" Yu Long asked, then chuckled. "I thought that when we decided to cancel the engagement, the elders had already made the decision that the Yu family would bear the infamy."
For the Rong and Yu families, the marriage contract and the alliance are one and the same. The Yu family's cancellation of the engagement means destroying the alliance. They are the party that violated the alliance, and they deserve to bear the blame.
"But the situation now is that the marriage couldn't be called off, but the infamy has remained!" The Great Elder said, turning his gaze to Yubie Liu and sighing softly, "I just can't understand why you, Liu'er, are so obsessed with the second son of the Rong family? He's not worthy of you!"
The meaning of the Great Elder's words was, on the surface, a sigh, but secretly, it was a satire on Yu Bieliu's impulsiveness. He did not consider the overall situation and rashly went to stop the cancellation of the engagement, pushing the Yu family into the forefront.
Yu Bie Liu was speechless at this. Not worthy? Oh, did you know that he is the biological son of Heaven? This baby is the golden finger portable grandfather prepared by him for his biological son... Bah, she is not old!
Of course, these words can only be thought about in the heart, and it is impossible to say them out loud.
Her face was cold, and she sneered: "Great Elder, don't beat around the bush and say I'm not. Ultimately, it's just that you despise Rong Jian for not having spiritual roots and not being able to compare to the Young Master of the Yantian Sect. You despise the Rong family for being a small family and not being able to compare to the benefits that the Yantian Sect can provide. Why bother with such high-sounding words?"
The corner of Yulong's eyes twitched slightly. He never expected that his daughter would be so direct.
"Yubieliu!" The Third Elder pointed at her angrily, "Is this how you talk to your elders?"
Rolling his eyes, Yu Bie Liu said disdainfully, "I was just stating the facts, or do you think, Third Uncle... that what I said was wrong?"
Could such a fact be made public? The Third Elder was furious, his anger radiating from Yu Bie Liu to Yu Long: "You don't even care about your daughter!"
Yu Long smiled and said, "What Liu'er said is indeed true. Anyway, we are the only ones here. Let's talk about it openly so that we can resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"You!" The third elder was so angry that he stared at the father and daughter, unable to speak for a moment.
Yu Bie Liu stepped forward, approached the elders, and said with a smile, "However, elders, please don't even think about getting close to the Yantian Sect. After all, before I came back, I beat up their young sect leader, stole the Danfeng Peak Master's elixirs and the Qifeng Peak Master's magical tools, and kicked the sect leader..."
Before Yu Bie Liu could finish his words, the elders were petrified. This, this, this... is this something a human being should do?
