Chapter 171.1
Cheng Yi and his wife looked in disbelief. They never expected that the Cheng family would dare to do this. Cheng Yi looked at his brother and sister-in-law, the light in his eyes gradually becoming colder.
The dark fire in Cheng Qi’s body flickered, and just as he was about to explode, he heard Li Tianyan say, “Then you should tell me which Supreme Elder.”
Mrs. Nao looked proud. “That’s Elder Yue Huo of Haoyue Immortal Sect. He has a respected position. As elders, how could we trick him?”
Hearing Elder Yue Huo, Cheng Qi’s face looked a little strange. In the Canghong Secret Realm, Li Tianyan had borrowed the divine fire chisel from his disciple, but he hadn’t expected to bump into his nephew this time.
“What father-in-law, what matchmaker, what elder with a face as big as a basin— a bunch of cats and dogs think they can be the master of my brother-in-law? They don’t even consider how many kilograms their bones weigh. Can they bear it?” Li Tianyan smiled mockingly.
“Presumptuous.” Cheng Jingyuan had been the head of the family for many years, and no junior had ever dared to make a joke in front of him. Hearing Li Tianyan’s words, his face flushed with anger, and all the pressure on his body was released toward Li Tianyan.
Li Tianyan still held the teacup in his hand, motionless. Before the coercion even came close, the small tea table next to him shattered into pieces.
Before Cheng Jingyuan understood what was going on, the released pressure was rebounded by an invisible energy, and even his internal organs were shaken out of place in an instant.
The undercurrent between the two of them surged, and the others were not aware of it at all; they only saw that the tea table next to Li Tianyan was suddenly shattered.
But there was only one person present who could see clearly. Cheng Qi tilted his head and blinked, realizing that Li Tianyan had broken the table just now.
Li Tianyan said, “Uncle, right? This is the yard of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, not in Cheng Mansion. Can you afford to pay for things that are broken?”
Cheng Jingyuan’s heart was still clogged with blood, and his face was livid at the moment, leaving him unable to say a word.
Mrs. Feng thought that he was mad at this kid and said with an arrogant look, “Third brother, your son-in-law is too uneducated. If you don’t teach him a lesson, don’t blame me for teaching him a lesson for you.”
Cheng Yi nodded and said gruffly, “Okay, okay. I finally understand. You have never taken me, Cheng Yi, seriously, and you have randomly suggested marriages for my shuanger. You have also attacked my son-in-law in front of me. It doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize it; you show no respect to me as your brother at all.”
Cheng Yi was really angry this time. He could tolerate how the Cheng family treated him in the past, but he never expected that the Cheng family would become more and more unscrupulous, now coming to bully him.
His eldest brother regarded Li Tianyan as a mortal and put such pressure on him. If Li Tianyan’s true cultivation level had not been high, someone might get hurt.
Thinking of the children, Cheng Yi clenched his fists and said, “My children will not get married like this, and I, Cheng Yi, a warrior, cannot reach the heights of your Cheng family. I will go back and make it clear to the old man and the old lady tomorrow.”
Hearing Cheng Yi’s words, Cheng Jingyuan’s face turned a little blue again. The energy and blood in his body surged, all blocked in his throat; something was stuck, and he couldn’t spit it out.
Li Tianyan saw the decisive look on Cheng Yi’s face and knew that he had made up his mind, prompting a smile to appear on his face.
Those were Cheng Yi’s own parents and relatives. If Cheng Yi and his wife didn’t mention it, he naturally would not make the decision for them without permission. But now that Cheng Yi had this idea, it would be easy to handle.
“Third brother, what do you mean? You still want to separate the family? It’s unfilial of you when both parents are still alive.” Seeing him like this, Cheng Jingru suddenly had a bad feeling.
Although the third brother was insignificant, Cheng Yu had a bright future ahead. If they were separated, it would be even more difficult for Cheng Yu to return home.
At this moment, Cheng Jingru blamed the eldest brother in his heart. Why bother with a boy? Now that Cheng Yi had found an excuse to launch an attack, it was really not worth the trouble.
Mr. Nao said, “Third brother, this is because you don’t know what’s going on. It was originally a happy event; even the old lady and the old man were very satisfied with the new grandson-in-law. But you insist on making everyone unhappy. After we get married, Cheng Yu will have a person who can teach him to cultivate better. What’s wrong with that?”
Before Li Tianyan could respond, the protective formation in the courtyard suddenly moved, and two figures fell into the courtyard. Seeing the person involved coming back, Li Tianyan was not in a hurry to speak.
Cheng Yu, who had just returned from the sect, immediately noticed that there were a few more people in his family. Knowing the virtues of those in his family, Cheng Yu took the lead in entering the main room without bothering to greet his companions.
“Father, mother.”
“Xiao Yu, you’re back.” When Lin Hui saw Cheng Yu, the tears she had been holding back for a long time finally burst from her eyes, shocking Cheng Yu, who had just returned.
“Mother, what’s going on? Whoever dares to bully you, tell me; I will never let them go.” Cheng Yu hurried over to comfort her, but his words were directed at several Cheng family members.
Although his mother cried a little in front of them, she was actually soft-tempered. This was the first time Cheng Yu had seen her cry in front of the Cheng family. It was definitely because they had done something excessive.
It seemed that they did not expect Cheng Yu to return suddenly. When they saw his appearance, the faces of the Cheng family members changed.
“Xiao Yu is here; don’t get me wrong. We are just talking to your mother,” Mrs. Nao put on a flattering smile, her attitude completely different from how she had faced Cheng Yi and his wife just moments ago.
“Yes, tell me how you sold her child,” Li Tianyan said coolly while making some tea.
“If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. This is a matchmaking arrangement,” Mrs. Nao explained anxiously.
