"Oh, I see. Hehe, it's good that you're back. I've missed you these past few days, and so has your grandfather," Grandpa Wang said with a smile as he looked at Li Minghui.
Li Minghui felt ashamed after hearing what Grandpa Wang said. He felt as if Grandpa Wang was mocking him.
At this moment, Gu Sang looked at Grandpa Wang and asked, "Grandpa, what is this Li Minghui called?"
"His name is Li Minghui, and he's my grandson-in-law!" Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Old Master Wang said with a smile. The title of "grandson-in-law" was quite fitting, as Li Minghui was the heir of the Li family, one of the four great families of Kyoto, and held a very prestigious status. If Gu Sang were to marry a relative of Li Minghui, it would be a great honor.
"What?" Gu Sang looked at Grandpa Wang in surprise upon hearing his words, his face filled with disbelief. What had he just heard? This person was his grandfather's grandson-in-law? How could that be!
How could he be Grandpa's grandson-in-law? How could the Li family have such a daughter-in-law? It's a joke! You know, Grandpa Li's wife has been gone for a long time, so where did this grandson-in-law come from?
This event deeply shocked Gu Sang, but beyond the shock, she felt even more joy; it was truly a joyous occasion!
At this moment, Grandpa Li looked at Gu Sang and said with a smile, "Xiao Feng, what's wrong? Can't I have a grandson-in-law like this?"
Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Gu Sang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I just think this matter is too sudden. We still need to discuss it. After all, this matter is too big, and if we are not careful, it may have a great impact."
"Yes, that's right." Old Master Li nodded. He understood what Gu Sang meant. This matter was indeed not a small thing, and he didn't want to damage the relationship between the Lin family and the Li family because of it.
"Grandpa, the main reason I came back this time is for this matter. I hope that Gu Sang will be the champion of this competition!" At this moment, Grandpa Li, who had been silent all along, looked at his grandfather and spoke. His attitude was very firm because he knew that if his grandfather did not agree to this matter, then he would never have the opportunity to participate in the competition, so he had to make his position clear!
"Hmph! Kid, I knew it was because of this that you were so eager to participate." Hearing Li Minghui's words, Gu Sang's grandfather snorted coldly. He knew that his grandson must have his eye on Gu Sang's talent and potential in cultivation, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get Gu Sang to participate in the competition. That way, it would be much easier for him to deal with Gu Sang in the future—it would be a natural progression!
When Li Minghui heard his grandfather say that, his face immediately turned red. He didn't expect his old man to be so disrespectful and to speak of him in such a despicable way. However, none of that mattered the most. The most important thing was that his grandfather had actually shifted the topic to Gu Sang, which made him extremely angry!
He knew, of course, that all of this was because of Gu Sang; otherwise, how could his grandfather have changed the subject?
"Hmph! This was my own choice, it has nothing to do with him. Grandpa, I don't want to argue with you about this. I want to discuss the results of this competition with you now!" Li Minghui said, looking at his grandfather with a very unpleasant expression. He didn't know if his grandfather was doing this on purpose.
Seeing his grandson's angry expression, Grandpa Li smiled and comforted him, "Minghui, I've thought this through long ago. Gu Sang has a very high chance of winning this competition, so I think he will definitely win the championship this time."
"But Grandpa..."
Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Li Minghui's face turned pale. He knew his grandfather was telling the truth. He knew that his grandfather greatly admired Gu Sang in this competition, and Gu Sang was accompanied by Li Mengting, the daughter of the Li Group. Therefore, Gu Sang was certain to win the championship.
"Sigh!" After hearing his grandson's words, Grandpa Li sighed and said, "I know you're not convinced, but you can't refute this. It's true, and I only found out about it today."
"Grandpa..." Li Minghui's face turned pale upon hearing his grandfather's words, and he looked like he was about to collapse. He really didn't expect his grandfather to be so merciless towards him, which made his face look very ugly because he really couldn't accept this.
Hearing this, Gu Sang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he knew that Li Minghui was a very selfish person, Gu Sang never expected that Li Minghui's grandfather would be so vicious as to try to force her to marry into his family in this way. This was simply too much!
“Li Minghui, I know you’re very unwilling about this, but it’s the right choice for our Li family. Don’t dwell on it anymore. And don’t forget, you’re already a martial artist. You have a long road ahead of you, and I believe you can go further and higher. So you should relax and not let this affect your future. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.” Old Master Li said calmly, with a hint of threat in his tone.
"But......"
"Minghui, forget it. Since we can't agree, I have nothing more to say." Old Master Li looked at Li Minghui and said calmly. He knew that Li Minghui was not in a position to negotiate with him, so he didn't say anything more and just looked at Li Minghui calmly.
Gu Sang looked at the two old men, speechless. These two old men were truly despicable, showing absolutely no respect for Li Minghui. They even went so far as to do such a thing; it was utterly shameless. Gu Sang was genuinely angry at their behavior. However, Gu Sang knew that now was not the time to turn against them. He could only wait until he was strong enough, and then he would definitely avenge himself and show them his power!
Thinking of this, Gu Sang glanced at the Chen siblings beside her and said with a smile, "Young Master Chen and Madam Chen are here too, what a coincidence!"
When the Chen siblings saw Gu Sang smile at them, they quickly said with a smile, "Miss Gu Sang, hello! It's been a long time!"
