562: Willing to lead by example

However, at this moment, Yun Ziling’s autumn-water-like eyes once again gazed at Chen Xuan’s handsome face. After a slight pause, she finally made up her mind, nodding her head without hesitation, indicating that she had made her decision.

Yun Ziling parted her red lips slightly, her tone firm and sincere:

“It is only right. My husband, Duan Fei, was so presumptuous as to offend Young Master Chen. As his wife, I naturally should set an example and personally apologize to Young Master Chen! I hope Young Master Chen, with his magnanimity, will not hold it against us, husband and wife.”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand ripples, and everyone present had ambiguous expressions.

Especially Duan Fei, who was already displeased by Yun Ziling’s attitude, was now furious beyond measure.

“What?! Ling’er, what nonsense are you speaking! Have you forgotten how noble your current status is? You are the esteemed mistress of my Dragon King’s Divine Hall…!” Duan Fei’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Yun Ziling, seemingly unable to accept that she would say such a thing.

And Shi Meitong, seeing this situation, was also burning with anger. Without a word, she lunged forward and slapped Duan Fei hard across the face.

“Slap!”

Shi Meitong’s eyebrows were raised, and her almond eyes were wide: “You ungrateful fellow, you’re simply a lunatic! I really don’t know what was wrong with my Yun Family’s old master to agree to let someone like you marry into our Yun Family!”

This slap once again made Duan Fei stagger backward, his head buzzing, anger and humiliation intertwined, causing him to completely lose his reason.

“Crazy!! You’re all crazy! All of you have been bewitched by this Chen Xuan!” Duan Fei roared furiously, his once somewhat composed face now twisted beyond recognition by anger.

His Qi, like surging waves, began to violently churn uncontrollably, and the powerful energy fluctuations even caused slight distortions in the surrounding space.

As his emotions grew more agitated, a terrifying Immortal King’s pressure slowly emanated from his body and spread outwards at an astonishing speed.

This pressure was like an invisible mountain, heavily pressing down on the hearts of everyone present, making it almost impossible to breathe.

However, just as everyone was stunned and unable to move by this pressure, Duan Fei seemed to suddenly remember something important, and he forcefully channeled this Immortal King’s pressure towards the sky.

In the blink of an eye, that chilling pressure, like a giant Dragon, shot straight into the clouds, causing the clouds above to churn ceaselessly.

The numerous guests gathered here were the first to feel this powerful pressure from the sky. Their faces turned pale, filled with terror, and their feet involuntarily retreated.

And Yu Guili, who had been leisurely watching this farce from the high platform, also changed his expression drastically upon sensing this sudden pressure.

His originally narrow eyes instantly widened, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. Immediately after, without the slightest hesitation, his figure flashed, and he flew straight into the sky like a bolt of lightning.

After flying to a height level with the pressure, Yu Guili quickly composed himself, respectfully bowed towards the Void Realm, and loudly said: “May I ask which Immortal King has graced this place? We were unable to learn of your arrival in advance, and we are truly sorry for not coming out to greet you. Please forgive us, Immortal King!”

Shi Meitong’s expression also changed slightly upon seeing this, but she still fearlessly stood in front of Chen Xuan, glaring at Duan Fei:

“Duan Fei, look at yourself now, even the Immortal King can’t stand it! If you dare to act presumptuously here again, even if I have to risk my old life today, I will not let you harm Young Master Chen in the slightest!”

Feeling the pressure from above and hearing Shi Meitong’s words, Yun Ziling also stood up, standing beside her mother, looking at the sky. Her body trembled slightly, but her eyes were incomparably firm:

“Duan Fei, don’t be so stubborn anymore. Young Master Chen is a Dragon from the heavens, his future is absolutely limitless, and he is not someone you can provoke. If you continue to act recklessly today, don’t blame me for disregarding our years of marital affection!”

Duan Fei looked at his wife and mother-in-law, who were always so obedient to him, now confronting him for an outsider, and the hatred in his heart grew even stronger.

But then he saw Yun Ziling’s eyelashes trembling slightly due to fear and worry, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated by more than half.

There was nothing he could do. Even if his wife stood against him for another man, he still loved her immensely.

Perhaps, this was love!

“Ling’er, you are too willful! Do you know how much I have sacrificed for you!” Duan Fei said, a look of emotion on his face.

While Duan Fei was feeling self-pity, Chen Xuan remained calm throughout. He frowned slightly, looking at the chaotic scene before him, and sighed softly, saying:

“Enough, Madam Shi, Miss Yun, there’s no need to be angry with him for my sake. I won’t hold it against him.” His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a calming power, instantly quieting the noisy scene by a few degrees.

Duan Fei saw Chen Xuan’s indifferent demeanor, and the flames of jealousy in his heart burned even brighter. He said fiercely:

“Hmph, Chen Xuan, is it? Don’t pretend to be kind here. I, Duan Fei, will remember what happened today! In the future, I will make you understand the consequences of offending me!” With that, he turned to leave, but Shi Meitong grabbed him by the back of his collar.

“You’ve gone against the heavens! Young Master Chen has already forgiven you, and you’re still so ungrateful! Want to leave? You must give Young Master Chen an explanation for today’s matter!” Shi Meitong’s eyes were cold, and her tone carried an undeniable authority.

“This beautiful… elder sister! I think it’s best not to dwell on this matter. I haven’t completed the task my elder brother assigned me yet, so I need to go tell him first.”

“Oh my, as expected of Young Master Chen, your words are so sweet! Am I really that beautiful?” Upon hearing Chen Xuan call her elder sister, Shi Meitong’s heart bloomed with joy.

“Elder brother?! Young Master Chen, you have an elder brother?!”

Yun Ziling’s focus was clearly different; she directly ignored Shi Meitong’s words and asked Chen Xuan about the main point.

“There, he is my elder brother!” Chen Xuan said, pointing to Yu Guili in the sky.

“Hiss!!!”

“You… You mean, Senior Yu is your elder brother?!!!”

“Senior Yu? How did my elder brother become Senior Yu??”

“Because Senior Yu is already a half-step Immortal King, so we usually call him that,” Yun Ziling explained.

“I see, but with my elder brother’s talent, I think you don’t need to be so conservative with the title; just call him Immortal King, right, elder brother!” Chen Xuan looked at Yu Guili in the high sky.
