- Chapter 101 - Mutual Acting Performance
Tang Huairou was so angry she nearly exploded with rage.
To hell with fiancée!
She had no idea when Yan Ke had gotten a fiancée, and it was Yun Dan no less?
When Yan Ke spoke these words, not only was Tang Huairou shocked, even the people from Tang Sect were shocked.
Dongfang Wuchen looked at Yun Dan, still somewhat unable to believe that they were actually engaged to be married?
Then everything he had done was like a jumping clown.
But he also knew that Tang Huairou was deliberately framing Yun Dan, after all, Yun Dan didn’t know martial arts.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Dongfang Wuchen quickly came out to smooth things over.
“Sister, in my view, this matter most likely has nothing to do with Yun Dan. That she doesn’t know martial arts is something I’ve always known, because she was initially injured because of me. When I brought her back to Mingyue Manor, Wuyou even checked her pulse. She’s just an ordinary person without any internal energy.”
Regardless of other circumstances, Dongfang Wuchen knew that Yun Dan absolutely could not be a spy.
Just like at Mingyue Manor, Dongfang Wuchen had unconditionally trusted Yun Dan.
Tang Huairou at this moment simply couldn’t find anyone to vent her anger on, so she directly vented all her anger on Dongfang Wuchen.
She didn’t understand why everyone was helping Yun Dan?
Young Master Yan Ke was too, and her own younger brother as well—it was as if she was the outsider.
Moreover, last night she had given Yun Dan Passion Intoxication. If what Yan Ke said was true and they had stayed in the room together all night, it couldn’t be as simple as just taking care of her—something must have happened.
At the thought of this possibility, Tang Huairou’s teeth itched with hatred.
She had been eyeing this prize catch for three years, yet someone else had gotten to him first. How could she be at peace with this?
The others who had rushed over could at least be considered dignified figures among them, such as Tang Qi, who was after all the current Sect Master.
Seeing Tang Huairou throwing various tantrums, and knowing that without evidence they couldn’t casually slander others.
Tang Huairou’s current behavior had a strong sense of settling personal scores under the guise of public duty, so he came out to smooth things over.
“Enough, Huairou. There may be some misunderstanding in all this. Since Miss Yun Dan is Young Master Yan Ke’s fiancée, we naturally should treat her well. How can we easily slander others? Besides, the Young Manor Lord of Mingyue Manor vouches for her.”
However, at this moment Tang Huairou completely refused to listen to Tang Qi’s persuasion.
“Uncle, but she wasn’t in her own room last night. Now Young Master Yan Ke says she was in his room, but that may not be the truth. Why not test her to see if she really knows martial arts or not?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Ke’s expression instantly became rather unpleasant.
Previously, because Tang Huairou was from Mingyue Manor and Tang Sect, he had been accommodating in various ways.
Normally he wouldn’t have direct conflicts with her.
But he hadn’t expected this little girl to not only push her luck further, but also set her sights on Yun Dan.
He hadn’t even properly settled accounts with Tang Huairou for yesterday’s incident, yet today she actually struck first, slandering Yun Dan as a spy.
Testing whether she knew martial arts was probably just a pretext—having someone frame Yun Dan was the real goal, right?
He continued to shield Yun Dan behind him, stating directly, “If Miss Tang continues to be unrelenting and suspects my fiancée of being a spy, then is it enough if I, Young Master Luoyue, stake the reputation of the entire Heavenly Sword Sect to vouch for her and guarantee she’s not a spy? Betting my life and the reputation of the entire Heavenly Sword Sect should not be too much, right?”
“Of course, if Miss Tang still suspects she’s a spy, then the two of us can only leave Tang Sect first. You can handle Tang Sect’s affairs yourselves. It wasn’t our business to begin with—you were the ones who insisted on inviting us over.
I was planning to take my fiancée back to Heavenly Sword Sect for some proper sightseeing. Since you have no intention of treating guests properly and even want to slander guests as spies, there’s no need for me, Young Master Luoyue, to stay in this place.”
With that, he pulled Yun Dan and prepared to turn and leave.
Seeing that Yan Ke seemed truly determined to leave, how could Tang Qi let them just leave like that? He immediately apologized to Yan Ke, saying, “Young Master, my niece is ignorant. I apologize on her behalf.”
His thinking was that he was after all an elder. Before him, Yan Ke was a junior. If he as an elder lowered himself to apologize, this matter should be able to be put to rest, right?
Little did he know that Yan Ke didn’t buy this approach at all, and instead became unrelenting.
Yan Ke turned around, looked Tang Qi up and down, then glanced at Tang Huairou in the distance, his face full of mockery.
“Sect Master Tang at his advanced age still has to come out and apologize for his niece—how rare. Miss Tang is also in her early twenties this year, right? Ordinary women at this age already have children running errands, so how is she still a child?
Could it be that in Great Sect Master Tang’s eyes, as long as someone makes a mistake, it can all be brushed aside with one sentence saying she’s still young and doesn’t understand? Then does that mean if she kills someone, she also just needs to apologize and say she’s still young and doesn’t understand, and doesn’t need to pay with her life?”
Yun Dan listening from the side was stunned, thinking that Young Master Yan Ke’s eloquence was really something.
Actually, these words weren’t entirely without merit.
Despite being in her early twenties, Tang Huairou was just like an unreasonable spoiled brat.
And Tang Qi was like the parent who apologized everywhere for the spoiled brat, with every other word being “she’s still a child.”
In her twenties, how was she still a child?
Could it be that even when she reached her forties or fifties and made mistakes, they’d still say she was just a child?
But this person was probably because she lacked maternal love from childhood, and her own father got together with his first love and even had a younger brother, so she didn’t get much attention and love.
That’s why she was always causing various troubles to gain others’ attention, right?
This kind of person was actually quite pitiful.
But looking at Xiao Yueqing by contrast, clearly he had nothing from childhood, and fate had been so unfair to him.
Yet he didn’t grow up crooked at all, and instead had incredibly upright values.
This Tang Huairou was probably just a bad seed by nature.
Now seeing that the timing was about right, Yun Dan finally stepped forward.
Now it was her turn to perform.
“Miss, I always thought you would never truly… but now your various words and actions seem to be deliberately targeting me.
I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong to make you target me so much? I consider myself someone who never actively starts conflicts with anyone, yet since Mingyue Manor, you’ve targeted me time and again.
If my presence troubles you so much and causes you such annoyance, then I’ll leave Tang Sect first.”
Yan Ke naturally knew that Yun Dan was just acting.
But since Yun Dan had performed to this extent, how could he not come out to add fuel to the fire?
“That’s right. Since someone is targeting you, there’s no need to stay at this Tang Sect. I’ll take you back to Heavenly Sword Sect—it’s much more fun there.”
