44 Chapter 44: Finally Leaving The Long Clan!
"What's the hurry, boy? You didn't even greet me. After all, I am your in-law," A man came forward and spoke as his words echoed in the room, causing a tension to suspend in the air. The words of the man were laced with authority and power. It seemed he demanded Long Tian to pay respect to him.
Noah turned to face a man with similar age as that of the head of the Long Family. Although Noah had noticed his presence before in the room he decided to ignore it as he did not immediately recognize him.
Now that the person had taken an initiative to deliver himself on a chopping board, how can Noah not use his blade.
"Oh! My bad, I thought that you were the in-laws of Lin Feng," Noah spoke in a mock apologetic manner, he even showed formal courtesy. Looking at the contorted face of the head of the Xiao Family Noah further fueled the fire. "Lin Feng claimed Xiao Mei was his fiance in front of everyone. Even the elders of the sect did not correct his words and you never stopped him even when you were present there."
"I wonder How are you are still my In-law?"
A slight grin appeared on his face which only widened as he spoke each line, he further fanned the flames with his questions that were logical and difficult for the old man to refute.
Long Chen also looked at their exchange with a sharp look in his eyes. He could hear the sarcasm in the boy's words from miles away. He knew that they have to address this issue calmly otherwise it would become a big issue for both the families.
Just as he was about to intervene in their talk to clear their names, another voice interjected, a loud and arrogant voice boomed in the hall catching everyone's attention.
"Insolent child! Who do you think you are to interrupt Patriarch Xiao like that? Know your place, You Trash!!" Long Tai burst forth with his cultivated aura as a peak Qi condensation realm cultivator, directed at Noah.
Unfazed by the pressure he looked back at him with cold eyes and asked. "Pray, tell me what did I say wrong? Are you suggesting that what I mentioned never happened? The entire city witnessed it. Moreover, why are you advocating for him? "
Long Chen's face grew darker and darker hearing the charges and Long Tai was getting red in anger. His anger already clouded his judgment. Long Chen was already cursing his son for his idiotic action, the head of the Xiao family stood there with his hands clenched in fist.
Noah did not stop there and kept on going, "They practically insulted the Long family by arranging Xiao Mei's marriage to someone else when she was engaged to me. You do realize that the engagement agreement still remains with my mother. Are you certain you're standing with the Long Family, or were you aware of this beforehand?"
"How dare you lecture me?! You are really Insolent!! Let me educate you for your father!"
Long Tai could not hold himself anymore and charged at the boy with his hands forming a claw. Noah easily saw through his sluggish moves and attacks but instead of attacking back he did not move from his position and snapped his fingers.
Xin Yan felt the seal on her loosening a little allowing her to use a silver of her aura while another seal covered the entire making sure that no aura leaks from the place.
Taking the clue Xin Yan moved in front of Noah and attacked back Long Tai with all the hate she was feeling at the moment. Being caught off guard Long Tai was hit by her palm strike and he was sent rolling back.
Everyone in the room was shocked seeing the strength of Xin Yan. They knew she was powerful but they never saw in action. Xin Yan's chilling words reverberated in the entire hall
"I was silent till now, but that doesn't mean anyone can touch my son. It's you who should know your place. Did my son say anything wrong?"
Xin Yan even released a slight killing Intent in the room which caused everyone to look at her with fear. Only Long Chen had a solemn gaze in his eyes. She gazed at The lying figure of Long Tai coldly who was coughing up blood. Snorting, she turned to look at the Xiao family Patriarch.
"And you, Xiao Cheng, you want to break the engagement, right? You should have said so from the beginning. No need to use such tricks, as your pitiful brain cannot think of good ones."
Indeed the goal of Xiao Cheng coming there was to break the marriage contract between Long Tian and Xiao Mei but things didn't go as he wanted them to.
His face turned red, as he almost coughed up blood in anger. He was not in the place to say anything so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Xin Yan moved her hands inside her robes and brought out a piece of paper. That was precisely the marriage agreement between the kids. Taking it out, she burned it using her qi in front of everyone, humiliating the Xiao family even more.
Long Chen's cold and decisive words brought him out of his thoughts and turned his attention towards the old man sitting on the set with a solemn face.

"There, it's done. Now you can throw that little whore in the hands of the Sect." By now Xiao Cheng was trembling in fear hearing those words.
Her words and acts one by one slapped their family in the face in front of everyone. There was no worse humiliation for him than what he was facing as the family head right now.
Noah was watching everything play out with a grin on his face, seeing the fierce Xin Yan his heart was beating a little fast inside his chest. He never felt such a thrilling excitement in a long time.
"Long Tian and Xin Yan, as of now, you are to leave the family. We, the Long family, break all ties with you."
Long Chen's cold and decisive words brought him out of his thoughts and turned his attention towards the old man sitting on the set with a solemn face.
He was not in the mood to play the grandfatherly act. He just wanted the things to end her rather than letting it escalate even further.
Xin Yan walked back towards Noah, after scanning the room for the last time Noah twirled his finger stealthily and turned to walk out of the room.
Elysia silently followed behind them floating in the air.
After they left the room a look of anger appeared on Long Chen's face as he turned to look at his son who was struggling to stand up. Standing up he walked in front of him and slapped his son.
"Do you know what you have done? If these things are known by the people of the city, where will our family show our faces?"
Now that the name of the Long family was associated with the Xiao family they would also face some consequences. Thinking of this his face grew darker.
"Maid, take away this useless son of mine back to his room." he exclaimed, turning to look at the maid which escorted the mother son duo there.
The maid quickly rushed to Long Tai's side, helping him up and supporting him as they left the hall. Long Tai's face was pale, and his body trembled from the embarrassment and the physical pain of being kicked.
The head of the Xiao family also left without saying any words, he did not have any face left to show anyone. As he walked out of the room his eyes showed in cold and dangerous light.
'I will not let this slide.'
Long Chen walked back to his seat and looked at the open door of the room, he could not shake the feeling that a storm would arrive shaking the entire kingdom.
