Chapter 2142 - 2240: Baffling (Third Update)
Nevertheless, despite this, at this moment, there were still many people raising their eyes and staring at Sikong Yu, expressing their dissatisfaction through their gaze.
Xuu Long’s smile became even more sinister; this was the effect he desired.
Yes, letting everyone know that Sikong Yu indeed brought a fighter here.
"Whether Waan Qi feels humiliated, Waan Qi knows herself. She’s the most familiar with Su Chen." Sikong Yu, however, maintained a good mindset, truly displaying the demeanor of the number one and number two Miss of Jiuyou Domain, without any fear or trepidation, she even sneered with disdain, slightly raised her head, looked at Xuu Long, and said with a smile.
Instantly, Xuu Long’s face turned unpleasant.
Not just Xuu Long, but also those strong individuals from families that followed the Waan Family, all had a not so good expression.
Anyone could hear the implication in Sikong Yu’s words; she was referring to how Waan Qi was humiliated because of Su Chen, even someone who could humiliate Waan Qi qualified to enter this great hall, even if just a fighter.
Sikong Zhan’s smile became richer. Earlier, Xuu Long drew hatred towards Sikong Yu, causing him to worry about his granddaughter’s situation, but unexpectedly, his granddaughter reversed the situation with a single sentence.
Indeed.
Sikong Zhan was very satisfied with his granddaughter’s performance.
"Indeed, a sharp-tongued woman." At this moment, unexpectedly and very surprisingly, Hong Chou, known for his silence and sparing words, suddenly spoke.
Moreover, his words were a direct affront to Sikong Yu.
In an instant, the entire Ten Dragons Hall fell into silence.
Everyone was astounded.
How could this happen?
Xuu Long confronting Sikong Yu was understandable, after all, Xuu Family followed Waan Family.
But what’s with Hong Chou? The Hong Family was on the same level as Waan Family, both part of the Three Factions, and did not follow anyone.
Moreover, it was rumored that the Hong Family had a better relationship with the Sikong Family?
Back then, they almost had an alliance.
For Hong Chou not to support Sikong Yu would be one thing, but he actually...
Unbelievable.
Truly unbelievable.
Not to mention others, even Sikong Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes. He could ignore Xuu Long upsetting his granddaughter but could not ignore Hong Chou.
Furthermore, Hong Chou suddenly targeting his granddaughter carried a different significance; to some extent, Hong Chou represented the Hong Family.
However, Sikong Zhan did not specifically target Hong Chou; he couldn’t do anything to the younger generation. Instead, he looked at Hong Yicang, with questioning in his aged eyes.
Hong Yicang smiled bitterly, giving Sikong Zhan an apologetic look; honestly, he had no idea what was going on.
Why did his grandson suddenly target Sikong Yu?
This shouldn’t be!
Moreover, this approach was very unwise.
He knew his grandson; it seemed impossible for him to do something so foolish.
But the fact was, his grandson had done it.
"Yes, I’m sharp-tongued, so what? Does it have anything to do with you?" Sikong Yu’s expression had turned ice cold, extremely unpleasant, as she stared coldly at Hong Chou, her voice cold.
At this moment, everyone was watching Sikong Yu and Hong Chou, eagerly anticipating.
A spectacle to behold!
"Indeed, it has nothing to do with me, and fortunately not. Back then, the decision I made was correct." Hong Chou said blandly.
Dropped a bombshell.
Exactly.
It was a bombshell.
This... This... This is blatant mockery of his past refusal to agree to the alliance with Sikong Yu!!!
This... Is an insult.
A crazy insult.
This was directly face-breaking Sikong Yu in front of everyone!
As long as someone, a woman especially, faced rejection in an intended alliance, it was a thorough embarrassment.
Moreover, being stated in front of all the influential figures of Jiuyou City.
This... This calls for Undying Determination.
This was complete face-breaking!
As Hong Chou concluded his bombshell-like statement, in an instant, the entire Ten Dragons Hall went silent, even breaths disappeared.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Crazy.
What on earth was Hong Chou doing?
"Waan Qi, I’ve repaid the favor I owed you." At this moment, Hong Chou murmured bitterly to himself. He knew very well what consequences his severe face-slapping of Sikong Yu would bring. Not only would Sikong Yu harbor resentment, even the Sikong Family would thoroughly resent the Hong Family.
The cost was tremendously great.
But he had to agree.
Why, back then, he owed Waan Qi a monumental favor.
So, even knowing this was a huge trap, knowing this shouldn’t be done, he still agreed.
That favor had to be returned! Otherwise, it would affect his martial arts cultivation path!
"Haha... Miss Sikong..." At this moment, amidst the dead silence, laughter rippled through.
It was Waan Qi.
Waan Qi walked out from the back hall.
Todaily she was beautifully dressed; in fact, her appearance and temperament might have been slightly inferior to Sikong Yu, but today, due to meticulous dressing, she seemed to overshadow Sikong Yu a bit.
Waan Qi slightly raised her head, proud as a swan.
Highly amused.
She fixed her gaze on Sikong Yu, a proud smile on her lips.
"Sikong Yu, today, I’m destined to let you know what shame is? What despair is? What unwillingness is? What ridiculousness is? You are a joke, Hong Chou’s assault is just the beginning!" Waan Qi thought to herself, feeling truly delighted!
"......" Sikong Yu stood there quivering, helpless, angry, almost losing reason.
She felt her face burn looking!
Hong Chou actually took it upon himself to bring up the past incident where he disagreed to the alliance.
That was the most embarrassing, hateful, unwilling to mention event in her life.
Back then, regarding the alliance, she held a casual attitude, so she didn’t propose rejection, but Hong Chou did actively reject.
She regretted it immensely.
If given another chance, she would surely reject first, instead of being rejected by Hong Chou.
But now, it’s too late for any words.
She had already become a joke.
Now, she was under the scrutiny of everyone, all the notable figures within Jiuyou City, their ridicule, amusement, disdain... though silent, evident in their gaze.
Sikong Yu bit her lips fiercely, her beautiful eyes even reddened, she felt like crying, sobbing desperately.
After all, she was still a girl.
She truly felt somewhat helpless.
She stared intently at Hong Chou, filled with loathing!!!
"Hong Yicang!" Sikong Zhan’s eyes were almost flaming; he could imagine how much humiliation, ridicule, and harm his granddaughter was suffering at that moment?
Sikong Zhan had a reputation for being fiercely protective.
Not to mention, Sikong Yu was his most cherished granddaughter. He fixed his gaze on Hong Yicang, even his breath trembled, seemingly wanting to act.
"Elder Sikong, I..." Hong Yicang was also aggrieved, extremely so; he knew well his grandson had deeply offended Sikong Zhan, but he wasn’t aware in advance!
