The Legacy System

530 Chapter 530

The two Young Masters of the Ling and Cao Families turned to look towards Cui Xie in anger and rage, mixed even with traces of killing intent, but in the end, they turned around and left.

"Brat, you went too far by offending the two of them tonight!"

"Oh!? Don't tell me that my Cui Family needs to be afraid and take the humiliation of those two! Could it be that I made a mistake by turning to the Family!?

At least when I was by myself, people didn't dare to talk to me like that!"

"Brat, you are going too far, don't think that your identity and your little achievement will save you every time!"

"Oh, I don't! But isn't it enough at the moment!?"

"Youuu~!"

"Furthermore, don't you think is a bit weird!?"

Until that moment Cui Xie seemed to be talking with the intention to mock, tease, and pick a fight with the Elder when he suddenly turned fully serious.

"Huh!? What is!?"

The 17th Elder that was bickering with him couldn't help but look at the guy in surprise as he asked with a startle.

"This is supposed to be a banquet for our Cui Family, our proposal, and help. Yet these two families are attending as well!"

"Hmph~! What do you know, this is the pulling power of my Cui Family, even for a brat like you they have to come and pay respects!"

"Really!? It doesn't seem like that though!? The first thing they did upon coming here instead of paying respects was to actually try and humiliate us!"

"This…"

"Not to mention that they shouldn't be needing so many escorts inside the venue if that was the case, should it?

They don't look like they are going to a party and banquet, but like they are going to fight!"

"You mean…"

"What can I mean!? I am just a little weak brat with some observation power, I clearly don't understand things well!

I am here just to become the groom!"

While Cui Xie seemed to be talking like a vengeful brat, the Elders couldn't help but feel like they had just experienced a bomb exploding in front of them.

"Oh, right! This brat would be so stupid and overbearing, as to ask the Elders to inform the family and tell them to look around.

After all, the other party seems to have made quite the preparations!"

The Elders immediately started looking towards each other, when finally one of them couldn't control himself anymore as he said,

"17th Elder what do you think we should do!?"

Even though Cui Xie's words did make sense, they would still make the decision by themselves. This was a good way to show respect towards the 17th Elder and get on his side.

Cui Xie didn't seem to care about what they did or thought, as he was fully concentrated on enjoying the food in front of him.

"Whoa~! The food is really good in here, you should truly try it!"

His previous serious words and his current situation made too big of a contrast as the 17th Elder couldn't help but chide on him,

"Brat how can you behave like this if what you said is true!?"

"Huh!? Why can't I!?"

"If the Cui Family falls, where will you go!?"

"Me!? I will probably just join the winner!"

"What!? Are you going to betray my Cui Family!?"

"Just like you said it's your Cui Family when it has ever treated me like its own!? Besides the moment when you all robbed 60% of my shares from me!?

Not only that, but you wanted even more! Well, now it's meaningless to think about it anyway!"

"Youu… Yoouuuu…"

"Me what!? I have always wondered but do you take me for one of your bastard sons or some servant!?

My name is Cui Xie, the son of the legitimate Master of the Cui Family that was actually plotted and killed by you!

So why should I care about the Cui Family!?"

"How do you know about that!? Who told you!?"

"Does it matter!?"

"Hahaha~! You are right, it doesn't matter, but do you think you will be able to stay alive after the Cui Family is brought down!? You will follow us to Hell!"

"17th Elder I should really ask you, have you cracked your head when you were little, or in a fight or something!?

Even before I came to the Cui Family I already had special protection from those guys, and the formulae are still in my hands!

While I am not able to leave the country or do much, I still have 'divine' protection on my persona! No one can kill me without having his whole 18th generations destroyed after!

At least as long as the formulae are in my hands!"

It was at that moment that the 17th Elder understood that he had overlooked an important fact, as he finally couldn't help but try to threaten the little brat in front of him.

"Wouldn't you have to escape alive from my hands in order for that to happen!?"

"Oh please, you are already in a deep pit of shit with those two banding against you, would you dare to kill me and add more spice to the injury!?"

With that said, Cui Xie turned his full attention toward the food in front of him, eating like he was some sort of hungry ghost.

At the same time, Li Yao was enjoying the food on her side, but everyone could tell that she was a bit nervous.

Who could blame her though, she had just been told that her fiancé would suddenly change from Young Master Cui Xie to the Ling Family's Young Master.

Not only that, but since she was already 'soiled' by Young Master Cui Xie she would be made into nothing more than a little concubine of the Ling Family.

After learning all this it was impossible to not understand that Li Pimp had actually subserved towards the Ling and Cao families to put an end to the Cui Family.

Knowing all this, how could she not be nervous!? She had accepted and trusted Eric's word because he had some control over the Cui Family, now she felt like all her hope was destroyed.

…

On the other hand, the two Young Masters of the Ling and Cao Families weren't happy with the current situation.

After being mocked and offended by Cui Xie, all their good mood had disappeared at the moment, and it was only when they revealed their plan and parts that they could get their moods back.

It didn't take long though, as finally, the banquet started officially. People were chatting, making connections, and smiling politely, while Young Master Cui Xie was eating like a hungry wolf.

When everyone had arrived and had at least started their meal, the 17th Elder stood up from his spot, before he returned to the Li Pimp and said in a respectful tone,

"Brother Li Saint we are truly honored by being invited to this banquet, but we were wondering about the presence of the Li Patriarch, as my Cui Family would like to propose marriage to the Li Family!

My Family's junior Cui Xie seems to have a liking to your junior Li Yao!"

"Master Cui the Patriarch has entered secluded cultivation trying to break through a new Realm, so he has left the Cui Family in my hands!

Your words have truly honored my humble Cui Family, but alas, the Ling Family proposed marriage first. I am afraid that I can't accept your proposal!"

"What!?"

It wasn't only the 17th Elder, but the whole banquet that was startled and shocked, as they all thought this was going to be the Cui Family's banquet.

The only people happy were the Li Pimp, the Ling Family guys, and the Cao Family guys. In fact, Young Master Ling even had an expression of contempt and mockery that seemed to say,

'I even stole your woman, what can you do!?'

As a matter of fact, there was one more person who was extremely happy about this situation, and that was Young Master Cui Xie.

If it weren't for him forcefully controlling himself, he would have already started to laugh out loud like a maniac.

'This daddy was trying so hard to dodge this complicated situation, who would have ever thought that he would get so lucky!

What are you so happy to die in advance!?'

Of course, he wouldn't say such things out loud, as he continued to eat his meal without a care in the world.

"This… Master Li Saint our juniors seemed to have already developed feelings and understanding between each other these days, don't you think it's a sin to try and separate them!?"

"17th Elder just like I said, now I am the Patriarch of the Li Family, so please try to respect my standing!

As for the juniors, matters of the heart aren't that easy comprehensible, our Family's Li Yao and Young Master Ling have been a match for quite some time."

The way that he was treated made the 17th Elder quite infuriated, as he said in a cold and angry tone,

"Patriarch' Li it couldn't be that you are trying to make my Cui Family lose face, could it!?"

"What!? How could 17th Elder think that my Li Family has always tried our best to keep amicable relations with you!

But who would have thought that you would go and propose marriage to the Ye Family before you did the same here!

This Li can't help but think that you are trying to mock, and mess with me!"

"What!?"

Once again the 17th Elder was startled and shocked by the situation…
