Chapter 158: Hua Dalang

"This is the Hua family?"

"This courtyard is too small. This is nowhere like a place to entertain guests; there isn't even a place to stand. This is the first time I've seen such a shabby engagement banquet."

"How could Sister Yuntang get engaged to such a family? This Hua family isn't even as big as the courtyard where my servants live."

The disdainful words reached her ears. Hua Changxi put down the kitchen knife in her hand, walked to the kitchen door, and looked out. She saw her father and eldest brother leading more than ten people in.

The visitors were the Sheng family. Leading them was Sheng Xuan, the third uncle of Sheng Yuntang, and the others were the younger generation of the Sheng family.

After entering the Hua family courtyard, Sheng Xuan was fine, chatting and laughing with Hua Minghe, but the younger generation of the Sheng family couldn't hide their disdain after seeing the crowded Hua family courtyard.

Hua Dalang heard the discussion of the younger generation of the Sheng family, and his expression was a bit awkward. Fortunately, his future second brother-in-law, Sheng Pengye, was not bad, smiling to help him out of the awkward situation and warning the others of the Sheng family with his eyes.

"Sixth Brother, why are you standing in front of me?"

Hua Changxi was watching the Sheng family when Hua Liulang came over and blocked her.

Hua Liulang's face was not very good: "Did you hear what the Sheng family said?"

Hua Changxi gave an "Hmm."

Hua Liulang said angrily: "It really makes me angry. Our family and the Sheng family are already in-laws, how can their people say that about our family?" As he spoke, he looked at Hua Changxi. "Ninth Daughter, you must be angry too, right?"

Hua Changxi: "... I'm alright."

Hua Liulang didn't believe it: "Ninth Daughter, you don't need to hide it in front of me. I'm so angry. With your violent temper, how could you endure it? Otherwise, Father wouldn't have asked me to watch you, just afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold back and make a scene with the Sheng family. By then, Dalang would be in a very difficult position."

Hua Changxi rolled her eyes: "It's not me who is being looked down upon by the Sheng family, and it's not me who has to deal with the Sheng family in the future. Why should I waste energy getting angry for nothing?"

Hearing this, Hua Liulang looked at Hua Changxi in astonishment, his expression somewhat confused.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hua Liulang: "Ninth Daughter, that's Eldest Brother, why are you so indifferent?"

Hua Changxi: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. It was Eldest Brother himself who wanted to find a marriage with a status far different from ours. The Sheng family's disdain is the price he has to pay for climbing high."

"Today we only heard some idle gossip. After they get married, Eldest Brother will have to be compared with the younger generation of the Sheng family in all aspects. That will be the time when he really has a headache."

Hua Liulang heard this and looked at Hua Dalang, who was introducing the Hua family cultivators to the Sheng family, his face showing worry: "If that's the case, we must help Eldest Brother well."

Hua Changxi glanced at him: "Sixth Brother, I said, being looked down upon by the Sheng family is the price Eldest Brother has to pay for climbing high. You helping him is transferring the price he has to bear to yourself. Are you sure you want to live with other people's responsibilities?"

Hua Liulang scratched his head: "But... that's Eldest Brother."

Hua Changxi was silent and didn't take the conversation.

Hua Liulang didn't know what to say for a while. Just then, he saw Hua Sanlang needed help, so he walked over quickly.

Hua Changxi was still watching the Sheng family. Except for the Sheng Third Uncle being led into the main hall by Hua Minghe, the Sheng juniors were all in the courtyard.

The Sheng family came to the Hua family. Logically, they should get to know the Hua family well. However, at this moment, the Sheng family was chatting enthusiastically with Hua Hongqi, Hua Shuran, and others, while the Hua family was left on the side.

Hua Changxi shook her head. If the Sheng family really had the family style and behavior shown today, she could imagine that if her eldest brother couldn't have a bright future, he would definitely be looked down upon in his in-laws' house.

Too lazy to watch anymore, Hua Changxi turned and entered the kitchen, sitting behind the stove, burning the fire.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a commotion and screams in the courtyard.

Hearing this, Hua Changxi stretched her neck to look out. With this look, her face suddenly changed drastically.

In the Hua family courtyard, two spirit beasts suddenly appeared: a majestic silver wolf and a fierce and swift golden eagle.

As soon as the two spirit beasts met, they started fighting.

"Silver wolf, come on! If you win against the golden eagle, I'll give you extra food when we go back."

"Golden eagle, come on! If you win against that wolf, I'll refine pills for you to eat when we go back."

After the two spirit beasts fought, the Hua family courtyard was in chaos, and tables and chairs were knocked all over the floor.

Just at this time, some Hua family cultivators and Sheng family members were still cheering for the two spirit beasts.

Old Master Hua and the others in the main hall heard the movement and walked out one after another. Seeing the chaotic courtyard, Old Master Hua's face was livid.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

Two wisps of flame shot out, hitting the hearts of the silver wolf and the golden eagle directly. In an instant, the two spirit beasts that were fighting fiercely a moment ago fell to the ground and died.

"Silver wolf!"

"Golden eagle!"

One person rushed out from the Hua family cultivators and the Sheng family members respectively, pouncing on the fallen spirit beasts.

Just as the two touched the bodies of the spirit beasts, the two spirit beasts suddenly spontaneously combusted, scaring the two into retreating repeatedly.

After a few breaths, only two piles of ashes remained on the ground.

Then, a spiritual power spread in the Hua family courtyard. The tables and chairs that were knocked all over were straightened and put back in their original places. In a short while, the messy courtyard became neat and clean again.

Hua Changxi walked out of the kitchen and walked straight toward the two cultivators who released the spirit beasts: "You two, get out!"

These two were Hua Hongguang, the eldest grandson of the Second Clan Elder of the Hua clan, and Sheng Pengfei, the only legitimate son of the Sheng Third Uncle.

Hua Dalang didn't want to make things too stiff, so he couldn't help but speak: "Nin..."

As soon as he spoke, Hua Changxi looked at Hua Dalang coldly. The cold gaze directly made Hua Dalang swallow the words in his mouth.

Hua Changxi withdrew her gaze and looked at Hua Hongguang and Sheng Pengfei again: "You should be glad that today is my eldest brother's happy day. Otherwise, for the sake of you two running to my house to release spirit beasts, I would have thrown you into the spirit beast cave."

"Get out. From now on, you two are not allowed to step into my Hua family for half a step."

Hua Hongguang received a look from Hua Hongqi. Looking at the spirit pet that was left with only a pile of ashes, he endured this breath and lowered his head without speaking.

Sheng Pengfei didn't have so many scruples. He pointed at Hua Changxi angrily: "It was you, you killed my golden eagle?"

Hua Changxi looked at his arm pointing at her, and her spiritual pressure suddenly pressed down.

The moment the spiritual pressure struck, Sheng Pengfei felt as if a giant mountain was on his shoulders, pressing his legs to tremble, and he couldn't help but want to kneel.

And the young lady who killed his golden eagle stood in front of him. Him kneeling was equivalent to kneeling to her.

How could Sheng Pengfei allow himself to kneel to a young lady? His face flushed red, his veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth and held on.

Seeing his son being forced to kneel, Sheng Third Uncle was anxious: "Dalang, Pengfei didn't mean it. I apologize to you all on his behalf."

Hua Dalang quickly grabbed Hua Changxi: "Ninth Daughter, that's enough."

Hua Changxi looked at Hua Dalang, who looked anxious, withdrew her spiritual pressure, and looked at Sheng Pengfei: "You are just a cultivator who has just stepped into the Qi Sea stage. It's better not to be so arrogant outside."

Sheng Pengfei wanted to vomit blood and looked at Hua Changxi mockingly: "I am arrogant? Compared to you, ten of me wouldn't be able to catch up."

Hua Changxi sneered: "You really wouldn't be able to catch up." As she spoke, she waved her hand, and Hua Hongguang and Sheng Pengfei were thrown out of the Hua family courtyard.

Seeing this, Hua Dalang was a bit hesitant to speak.

Hua Changxi looked over: "Eldest Brother, are you sure you want to break your spine for the sake of a marriage?"

Seeing Hua Dalang's face change, and seeing Hua Hongqi looking dissatisfied, Sheng Third Uncle quickly said: "It was Pengfei who was presumptuous." As he spoke, he bowed to Old Master Hua.

"Old Master, it was I who didn't teach my son well. I apologize to everyone on his behalf."

If it were a normal day, Old Master Hua would definitely have quickly brushed this matter aside. But this time, he unexpectedly looked at Hua Changxi, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

Hua Minghe stepped forward to help Sheng Third Uncle up and smiled: "Brother Xuan, you are being too serious. My Ninth Daughter just has this temper; she likes to be serious about everything. After interacting more in the future, you will know." ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
