I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 336: Chapter 332: Xu Lao’s Little Trouble (5)

Translator: 549690339

This is a simple choice: Love someone or die.

Even if that someone is hideous, most people would hold their noses and choose the former just to save their lives.

But, what if the person you are to love can fulfill all your fantasies?

He is a noble from a respected family, an unparalleled swordsman, a handsand suave young man, and yet he’s incredibly romantic.

Put simply, even if you remove all the latter qualifications, the mere identity of a nobleman from the Xu Clan would be fatal attraction for these ladies from

Xiling.

The daughters of noble families understand all too well the consolidation of class and the insurmountability of it. For them, there are only two ways to change their social class in their lifetime: marry a man who has the power to change it, or give birth to a child who can.

The sad reality for these non-martial noble ladies is that they don’t even have the right to choose their own marriage partners.

Tang Luo had already confirmed that this forced marriage was arranged by the four families, but he believed even more that when this plan was subtly proposed by the schemers, these ladies must have accepted it willingly, given the winning offer presented by the Xu Patriarch. The larger the family, the more they value marrying equally. This is a kind of self-examination and a match for the other party’s conditions.

“I believe their love is genuine,” Tang Luo said with a light laugh. “It’s just, given similar circumstances, any son of the Xu Clan would have caused them to feel this love.”

In fact, talking about love with a noble lady is somewhat an insult to love itself. These’ladies must indeed like the Xu Patriarch very much, but it’s not love.

Becuase liking is just a choice, always leaving room for change; whereas love, is a sense of destiny that no one else will do.

Just like if the Xu Patriarch wasn’t a noble son of the Xu Clan, even if he was still the Xu Patriarch, these ladies wouldn’t like him as much.

Under Tang Luo’s clear narration, the Xu Patriarch finally cto realization,

“I understand.”

Pan Xichang, who had been keenly attentive since childhood, heard their conversation clearly, even though Tang Luo and the Xu Patriarch had been speaking softly.

Although she was shocked at the accuracy of Tang Luo’s speculation about their thoughts, she was somewhat resentful when she saw the Xu Lord, who was initially wavering, be convinced within a few words. A sense of grievance enveloped her.

“Tang Tianjiao.” With a heartrending face, Pan Xichang, her teary eyes welling up, whimpered, “Lady Tang promised her life to the Sect Head of Tang Clan in Yuanzhou before following him back to Xiling. Knowing my lowly birth, I don’t seek a legal status, but just want to follow the Xu Lord. Is that wrong?

She had seen that Xu Patriarch himself was modest and polite. He even took all the blfor this arranged marriage, claiming that he had his unspeakable difficulties. But Tang Luo, who had nothing to do with this matter, casually exposed the schof the four families and dismissed their affection.

But who in Xiling didn’t know that Tang Tianjiao’s mother eloped to Xiling with the Sect Head of Tang? Although this was a love story in the eyes of the people, it was a ridiculous thing in the eyes of these noble ladies. Now mentioning it, is to tell Tang Luo that, since your mother could follow Tang Sen to Xiling abandoning the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou, why can’t we abandon our families to follow the Xu Lord?

The Xu Patriarch was originally thinking about how to refuse these ladies. But hearing Pan Xichang’s words, he felt an omen of disaster, because he could feel the raging fury igniting beside him. He quickly grabbed Tang Luo’s arm and tried to calm him, “Cousin, don’t lose your temper. They are all pitiful. For my sake, let’s forget about this time.”

Tang Luo coldly turned his head and said, “Either you marry them, then I’ll give you face, otherwise you let go!”

He considered this stuff petty and did not wish to involve himself. If it weren’t for the Xu Patriarch’s reluctance to see these ladies die at his doorstep, Tang Luo would have already let Chang Le chase away the bridal procession.

As for his reputation and future marriage issues, he didn’t care at all. Among the ladies of Xiling, no matter how beautiful they were, none of them could bechis future wife. As such, without needing to marry, he naturally didn’t care about the negative influence of chasing away the four bridal processions. However, when Pan Xichang compared herself with Xu Shuhui, it ignited Tang Luo’s anger. A girl who does not value herself has no right to compare herself with his mother.

Seeing Tang Luo’s stern expression, the Xu Patriarch reluctantly let go of his hand, “Don’t be too much…” After cohabitating for half a year, he more than anyone knew the importance of family in Tang Luo’s heart, and had to let go with a warning.

Pan Xichang also realized that she said the wrong thing. With her teary eyes, she looked at the Xu Patriarch for help with a pained expression.

Tang Luo shook off the Xu Patriarch’s hand holding his sleeve, faced the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and loudly proclaimed, “The ladies’ infatuation is commendable, and your deep sentiments are touching. However, fate is capricious and tis warped. You and the Xu Lord are fated to be without destiny in this life.”

His enhanced spiritual power made his voice resonant. Coupled with spiritual shock, his words, like the voice of a deity, echoed through much of Xiling. Those gathered before the Tang Mansion today were more than half of the city’s population. Even sbusybodies from the southern part of Xiling also flocked there. After all, such a grand bridal procession spanning forty miles was rare in Xiling.

But when the bridal procession stopped in front of the Tang Mansion, everyone was surprised. It didn’t seem like a usual bridal pick up. As the four ladies removed their veils, their heavenly beauty ignited the passion of the watching crowd.

But with Tang Luo’s thunderous declaration, the tone of the farce was set — that the four ladies were doomed to have no destiny with the Xu Patriarch in this life.

The crowd started to buzz, chattering amongst themselves. More than ten thousand people pointed at the four ladies and the two lords on the steps, and the hall was filled with voices of discussion.

Which of these four ladies weren’t the extremely beautiful women of Xiling that countless young lords pursued? But they were ruthlessly rejected, despite only hoping to express their love and follow at the side of the Xu noble son. The spectators, seeing the four ladies turning pale, felt a pang of pity. On the other hand, looking at the premier Xu, who was standing on the steps as normal, they felt a hint of anger.

The majority of noble families in Xiling hadn’t viewed this Xu noble son favorably from the start. Upon his arrival in Xiling, his accomplishments in making a nfor himself destroyed the martial confidence that the warriors of Xiling had painstakingly built in the span of hundreds of years.

And now, he rejected the four noble ladies they had pursued as if he were casting off worn-out shoes. This naturally incited the crowd’s indignation even further.

“What kind of noble son, he doesn’t even value our warriors of Longzhou!” “Hmph, what’s so great about him? Just because he was born in a noble family!” “These ladies have wasted their affections.. This Xu Lord, he is not a good

man!”
