Translator: 549690339

Tang Luo naturally knew the magnitude of the waves his speech would cause, yet this was part of his plan, he would not be bothered by a mere housekeeper’s questioning.

Looking at the crowd with astonished faces, yet dead silent, Tang Luo sneered. His gaze landed on the four ladies present: “If there was a need to choose a woman to follow, young master Xu might choose a courtesan, but certainly not any of you four. Is my statement clear enough?”

“Clank” a sound, the golden scissors in Pan Xichang’s hand fell to the ground, with a desperate look on her face. Staring at the proud Master Xu, she asked tremblingly, “Mistress … Mistress does not believe… Master Xu.. Master Xu, please tell me…Tang Tianjiao is not telling the truth…”

Master Xu did not even bat an eyelid, responded coldly: “Cousin’s words represent my intention.”

If he couldn’t be responsible, he wouldn’t give anyone any hope. Although he didn’t know why Tang Luo said such a thing, since he was asked, Master Xu would not fail at this moment.

Hearing Master Xu’s decisive words, Pan Xichang seemed as if all her strength was drained. She slumped and fell to the ground. Several maids from the Pan family came over to help her, but she pushed them all away.

The heiress of the Pan family tearfully sat on the ground, her beautiful eyes full of resentment. She looked at Tang Luo and asked bitterly: “Are you satisfied now?”

In this brave bet, all four of them lost and the maidens who had lost their chastity must die. Pan Xichang picked up the golden scissors from the ground, and fiercely thrust it towards her throat.

Tang Luo, who had been vigilantly watching her, could not let her have her way. He flicked two fingers, and a very subtle Heavenly Dragon’s Shadow flew towards Pan Xichang’s wrist first and knocked the scissors away.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to die! Since you’re all so bold to propose to my Tang Mansion, shouldn’t you want to hear why you’re not enough for the son of the Holy Family?” Tang Luo looked at the maidens with a smile, “You can learn from this, understand your status and look for a son from a suitable family to have a chance to marry.”

These words were almost insulting, not to mention the four maidens, even the onlookers of Xiling found it hard to bear. There was an outburst of booing. They felt that Tang Luo, the Pride of Xiling, had no class.

Xiao Ziyu, dressed in a red robe, was even more outraged by Tang Luo’s words: “The son of the First Head of the Martial Hall, the representative of my Xiling’s prestigious family, the elders of the Tang Clan. Encountering a son of the Holy Family, he willingly falls from grace, flatters and serves him, and follows him around. Such a servile behavior, are you not tarnishing the spirit of our Longzhou warriors!”

The reason for practicing martial arts is to resist. The so-called resistance is to resist the oppressors. If everyone were like Tang Luo, willingly serving those with greater power, then what would be the purpose of practicing martial arts?

Xiao Ziyu looked at Tang Luo with great disappointment, because a warrior representing a city is the face of the city, but Tang Luo’s actions were tarnishing the face of Xiling’s warriors.

Tang Luo did not dignify Xiao Ziyu’s words with a response, but continued speaking to the four maidens on the steps: “The biggest reason you are not enough for Master Xu, is because you were born in a prestigious family, yet you have no personal cultivation. This alone makes you delusional to think you can follow him.”

“Absurd!” The youngest, Bai Jie, wiped the tears off her face in anger, pointed at Tang Luo and snapped: “A woman values virtue most, and is considered beautiful for being delicate. If a woman is stronger than a man, what would men be for!?”

From ancient times, women have been considered weaker and protected by men due to being naturally less robust than men, not to mention the feebleness during pregnancy. That’s why females from prestigious families usually do not cultivate, but learn to manage internal affairs.

Tang Luo of course knew about this implicit rule among large family clans. But he was also keenly aware that this concept resulted from the complacency and a distorted culture brought about by the hundred years of peace in Xiling. This comfortable mindset had truly taken root among these maidens.

“Miss Bai is right, men practice martial arts to protect women, as if with protection, women are freed from the need to cultivate. This concept is indeed absurd.” Tang Luo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking coldly: “You all clamor about following Master Xu, yet you don’t even know which clothes to wear without the help of a maid. Let alone fetching water and cooking, if you’re unable to provide for him, you’re akin to burdens, even less appealing than courtesans.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Wan Ling’er was never humiliated like this, having been the cherished one of the family since a young age. Her delicate arms clenched a dagger, resentment glowing in her eyes as she stared at Tang Luo.

“Am I? Ahahaha!” Tang Luo laughed wildly, turning to his guard and said, “Bring out the Star-Moon Coral Rhinoceros!”

Then he said to the maidens: “Don’t you want to follow Master Xu? I brought out his mount, as long as you can touch it, Master Xu will marry you. How about that?”

Upon hearing this, the incensed Wan Ling’er asked in a delicate voice, “Is this true?!”

“Of course it’s true, as long as any one of you can touch Master Xu’s mount, he will marry you. Didn’t he just say that my words represent his intentions?” Tang Luo said calmly, with arms crossed on his chest.

The maidens broke into smiles, a flicker of hope ignited where darkness seemed to have caged. In families like theirs, who didn’t own a few savage beasts?

Each savage beast was almost equivalent to a fierce state powerhouse, with an intimidating aura. To those accustomed to being around them, it was not impossible to gather enough courage to touch the beasts. All four maidens were confident of this.

However, when the Star-Moon Coral Rhinoceros, as majestic as a studded jewel, was actually brought out, it recognized Master Xu even though it had accepted its new owner. The excited beast roared as soon as it saw Master Xu!

“Roar!!!”

Hearing this roar, the four maidens realized the difficulty hidden in the seemingly simple condition. As the fierce aura of the beast flooded every corner in front of the Tang Mansion, they felt weak and rigid at the same time, all collapsing to the ground.

Not only that, of the grand wedding procession of ten miles, many chariots and horses collapsed on the ground at the sound of the beast’s roar. Even some savage beasts curled up and trembled.

Looking at the four maidens who couldn’t even rise to their feet, Tang Luo said indifferently: “My words are still valid. If any one of the four maidens can approach and touch this beast, she can marry Master Xu.”

Those gathering to watch the grand wedding procession were all martial artists, including some noble heroes who had crossed the Mortal Realm.

The might of the Star-Moon Coral Rhinoceros was indeed amazing, but for martial artists with personal cultivation, it was not impossible to approach. So they couldn’t understand why the four maidens from the prestigious families couldn’t even stand up..
