151 Chapter 151 (1/2)
Some people whispered, some were silent and others just baffled. The VIP booth that Feng Maling was in was above ground and people couldn't really see her well. The people that couldn't see craned their necks, wondering if there was another beauty in there that this Dark Palm Sect master was aiming for. Though, the moment they saw who was standing next to the Feng Matriarch they went slackjawed.
”Is that a human-sized raisin?”
”My god... why would he want that old crow...”
”That wrinkled up potato is the 'lovely lady' ?”
The people in the audience whispered among each other, holding their hands over their mouths while trying not to stand out. This development was far too shocking for the commoners, not knowing how they should react. This also prompted them to gossip and murmur with each other.
Luckily Yang Kai was far too focused on the person that he wanted to take home, the granny in question far too taken aback to react. She looked at the baffled people around her, Zhang Jin was just scratching his head while Huo Qiang and his retainer were sweating in the back not sure what to do about this situation.
”The young lord must be joking...”
Feng Maling spoke out, not sure if she should feel flattered that a handsome young man like that was interested in her or is she should feel disgusted. The man might look like a nice catch on the outside, but she knew well that he was rotten on the inside. There were warning signals firing off in her mind, there must have been a deeper reason why he wanted her and not the younger Feng Matriarch instead.
”Young lord, you shouldn't be making fun of old ladies like me.”
She tried laughing the whole thing off, attributing it to being a badly timed joke.
”You shouldn't be acting so bashful, don't worry this young lord can see your true inner beauty~.”
Yang Kai's eyes were sparkling as if he saw some kind of divine being. The people next to the old lady that were from the triforce alliance noticed this and visually cringed. It as if the man was looking at some once in a lifetime beauty, he became more animated his expression become less stern and he was even slightly blushing.
'Is this guy serious, what kind of situation is this?'
Zhang Jin was to the side looking at the whole thing. He knew his way around the ladies, but he still couldn't see what the man was seeing.
'Maybe if she was two hundred years younger...'
The old granny was quite the looked back in the day, he still remembered those good old days. Though have barely survived the aftermath of his fooling around.
'But wait... this might be a good thing...'
Zhang Jin rubbed his chin and nodded, then he sent his voice next to the Feng elder ear so that others couldn't hear them.
”Hey, you old bat, why don't you agree to his offer?”
Feng Maling just twitched and moved her gaze to the side to the old fox that was sitting slightly to the side.
”What do you mean you old fart?”
She replied to him while using the same technique.
”Think about it, the young lass will be saved and your Matriarch won't be taken either.”
The old man started talking, from his perspective the whole situation was already too dire. If they made any mistakes everyone in here along with their clans could end up dead or enslaved.
”He isn't so bad looking and below the age of a hundred. He is quite a good catch for you!”
Feng Maling trembled even more and tried not to show any facial expressions while the two talked. While this was happening Yang Kai was throwing praises and sweet words towards her, so it was quite hard to concentrate. Zhang Jin, on the other hand, was running his mouth like he was trying to sell her off. This made it look like he was some father trying to convince his daughter to an arranged marriage.
”See... it's the best choice in the situation... maybe he will give you a good rejuvenation pill... you'll just pop him out a couple of kids and it will all be fine in the end!”
”You'll be laughing about it in a couple of years, think about how the clan will prosper... it's a small price to pay!”
The old woman wanted to vomit. Why was an old granny like her getting sold off to a powerful sect master as a bride now, this just didn't make any sense. Still, if she thought about it, this was the lesser of two evils. This would be better for the Feng clan and her granddaughters, the younger one was still on that battle stage.
Deng Cai had moved away from his target at the moment, waiting for his master to be done with the arrangements. He was still mad about the wound, but if his master ordered him, he would let the girl go. Zhang Liu was still standing on the side while glaring daggers at the Dark Palm youth. Zhang Jin, on the other hand, was trying to prevent the fight at all costs. He didn't want his grandson to face that youth, not due to fear of him losing but more of the fear of him actually winning.
'That Yang Kai's word isn't worth shit, if Liu trashes that brat of his I'm sure he will intervene...'
