The more Gai Xiaolong thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. How could he have known that the Illusion Realm Tang Changsheng had laid down was so easy to see through? And even if they had seen through it, with their strength, they could not have broken free merely because they wanted to.
Gai Longwang slammed the table and sneered. "The boy is young, but he's arrogant as hell. He dares to trample on the Violet Light Family. Does he really think we're so easy to bully? What's so impressive about a Grade A Esper? I'm one too! And a Three Elders member? As it happens, I'm one of those too..."
"Father..." Gai Xiaolong hesitated.
Gai Longwang raised a hand and sneered. "You don't have to say any more. I know what you're thinking. Wan'er has a bit of a temper, but she isn't bad at heart. Besides, she was born into the imperial family. So what if she has a temper? Go after her. Laozi supports you!"
"As for Tang Changsheng, that stumbling block, if he really dares to come, I'll find a chance to teach him a harsh lesson and move him out of your way."
"Father, I don't think Mister Tang and the County Princess have any romantic feelings for each other..." Gai Xiaolong said, recalling how Tang Changsheng had acted.
"A Marriage Pact? They were promised to each other? If you don't break it up, where's your chance?"
"A Marriage Pact? The County Princess was promised to someone? How did I not know?" Gai Xiaolong felt as though a thunderbolt had struck him.
"That's ancient history. Back then, it was nothing more than a passing joke between Emperor Mingde and Tang Changsheng's master... But what if they take it seriously now? Stay out of it.
