Chapter 2046: Chapter 2047: Ye Luo Making a High-Profile Entrance
At this moment, Liu Mei’s face turned pale. She knew the current situation of the various families best. The Liu Family was already in decline, and if they offended the Wan Family, the future would be even more difficult.
"Family Head, it’s all my fault. I’m willing to take responsibility!" Liu Mei said.
The Family Head squinted and glanced at the two of them.
"Take responsibility? Then tell me how you plan to do that. You know the Wan Family’s way of doing things best. Unless you marry that Wan Kun, maybe you could quell the Wan Family’s anger!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei’s body swayed a little.
"If it can truly resolve the Wan Family’s anger, Mei’er is willing!"
Hearing this, the Family Head’s expression finally softened a bit.
"Mei’er, I know you originally weren’t from the Liu Family. What you’re doing is a sacrifice of yourself, but you also understand the current situation of the Liu Family. Listening to Wan Haotian, it seems that after the Sect Master’s birthday banquet, the Sect might take action against the Liu Family. Aligning with the Wan Family might be our last chance. I’m doing this for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in the Liu Family!"
Liu Mei gave a bitter smile, "Family Head, I understand. Without the Liu Family, I would have died long ago, so I’m willing to do it!"
"I feel it’s inappropriate!" Ye Luo suddenly spoke from the side.
Instantly, the Family Head’s eyes widened, "You shut up, I really didn’t see it before, you’re just a troublemaker. If you can’t secure the candidacy qualification this time, just wait to go back and face the wall in penitence!"
To be honest, the Family Head really had a big opinion about Ye Luo now! This guy went into the Tower of Trials and completely disrupted the upper nine levels.
Even if it might have been something that Liu Bing did, well then, this time he clearly saw that this guy was going against Wan Kun. If he hadn’t appeared in time, Wan Kun might have been taken care of by him, making the outcome more severe.
He recalled the Supreme Elder’s words, it seemed that this Liu Qing was indeed different from before!
Previously, Liu Qing was withdrawn, indifferent to everything, and didn’t really care about power.
But now, this guy was too flamboyant. If it weren’t for his physique being an Ice Frost Physique and no errors had occurred, the Family Head would’ve thought he was someone else in disguise.
But he also understood, since even the Supreme Elder did not notice anything unusual, he naturally couldn’t either.
"Would the Liu Family really be spared if Mei’er marries Wan Kun? Can Wan Haotian’s hatred for the Liu Family be dispelled? Besides, I always felt that guy was already harboring ill-intent towards the Liu Family! As for speaking for the Liu Family, does the Family Head believe that?" Ye Luo slowly said.
The Family Head paused for a moment, then furrowed his brow, "These aren’t things you should worry about. Right now, your only job is to perform well in the upcoming candidate selection!"
Ye Luo just smiled and shook his head, "That’s not right. I said before, after this birthday banquet, I intend to bring my parents to propose to the Family Head; you should have heard what I said before!"
At this, not only the Family Head was stunned, Liu Mei’s eyes also widened. Could what he said be true?
"Nonsense, although Mei’er doesn’t have the Liu Family bloodline, she’s lived in our family for so many years. I treat her just like my own daughter!" The Family Head shook his head immediately.
Ye Luo didn’t mind, "I think that’s not the main reason. It’s mainly because of the Wan Family, right?"
The Family Head sighed, "Alright, don’t meddle in this, the matter with the Wan Family is enough headache for me, don’t make any more trouble!"
Upon hearing this, a slight look of disappointment appeared on Liu Mei’s face.
"Family Head, I’m not causing trouble, isn’t the Wan Family so arrogant because they’ve produced a few generations of Sect Masters? If I win the title of Sect Master candidate this time, and rank first, wouldn’t I have that eligibility?"
Hearing Ye Luo’s words, the Family Head coldly snorted, "Boasting! Do you think the geniuses of other families are just paper tigers? Wan Kun isn’t even listed among the Core Disciples. Do you think you can domineer over other geniuses just because you bested him? Moreover, you better defeat the other few geniuses in the Liu Family first!"
Ye Luo didn’t care about the Family Head’s words, "You don’t have to worry. What if I actually manage to do it!"
"Hmph, if you really manage to do it, naturally you can propose to Mei’er. Not only that, as long as it’s not too excessive, the family could satisfy your requests!" The Family Head said lightly.
Although he also hoped for such a scenario, every time the ranking of the Liu Family was dead last, and even if they became the Deputy Sect Master, their power would essentially be hollowed out. This is the main reason for the decline of the Liu Family.
If Ye Luo really accomplished what he said, then a mere Liu Mei wouldn’t count for much.
"Haha, naturally the Family Head’s words are as good as gold. Mei’er, just wait to marry me!" he turned and said to Liu Mei.
Liu Mei felt as if she were dreaming, her whole body felt light and airy.
She softly uttered a sound, then bashfully lowered her head.
Afterward, Ye Luo laughed and walked out of the Family Head’s room.
"Nonsense, it’s simply nonsense!" looking at Ye Luo’s back, the Family Head shouted.
"Family Head, wouldn’t Liu Qing winning the candidate’s top spot be a good thing?" Liu Mei asked in confusion.
The Family Head snorted coldly and said: "Do you think it’s so easy to win the top spot of the candidates? You should know something about past candidate selections, the terrifying prowess of the geniuses from the other families, do I need to explain it? Such arrogance in this guy is just courting death!"
Hearing the Family Head’s analysis, Liu Mei’s expression also changed, "What do we do then? It’s all my fault!"
She thought that Ye Luo made such a promise in front of the Family Head solely because of her.
"Everything will depend on fate; the Liu Family is already in turmoil and can’t manage much now!"
"Family Head, even if our performance in the candidate selection isn’t great, one of us would still become Deputy Sect Master. Moreover, the previous Deputy Sect Master is still in position, isn’t the situation not as severe as you think?" Liu Mei became puzzled.
The five families have coexisted for thousands of years without destruction, even during moments of weakness, no family has ever been exterminated.
"Ah, this time it’s different. The previous Deputy Sect Master was severely injured on a mission, and now his old wounds have relapsed, which might affect his realm. He may have to step down from his position as Deputy Sect Master. Additionally, the Supreme Elder’s longevity is nearing its end. For our Liu Family, it’s a profound disaster. Listening to Wan Haotian’s words, it’s likely that after the birthday banquet, the Sect will judge the fate of the Liu Family!"
