Chapter 1996: Is This a Confession?

Chen Yu had a bit of a headache. Seeing Ming Lun like this, he was definitely going to confess. Doing it right in front of him—how was the other person supposed to respond?

"Aili, actually, I want to propose to you." Ming Lun raised his head. "I know this decision is very sudden, and I also know you are of the Blood Clan, but I don't care. I..."

"Are you crazy?" Aili interrupted him before he could finish. This was no longer just about the Blood Clan; this guy probably didn't know yet.

But regardless, he could not make such an unreasonable and excessive request.

"I'm not crazy. This decision of mine was made after careful consideration," Ming Lun said, shaking his head.

"I am your sister, and you are my father's son. How can you do this?" Aili said, somewhat angrily.

"There is no blood relation between us, and Father has handed everything he has over to me. I feel it is necessary to put his mind at ease," Ming Lun said.

"He handed these things to you because I am a girl, and these matters of fighting and killing should only be left to men," Aili said. "So, you must never associate these things with me. I am an adult, and I can take care of myself."

"Besides, my father will also take good care of me. So, you had better put away this terrible news of yours as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Aili, you being like this really makes me very sad." Ming Lun spread his hands. "I made a great resolve before coming to this decision, so..."

"There is no 'so,' and there is no such thing as 'so.' I can tell you directly that this matter is impossible." Aili shook her head and said, "Ming Lun, we grew up together."

"You are my father's foster son. I have always treated you as a brother. It is impossible between us."

"Foster Father is getting old. In the future, who will take care of you?" Ming Lun said. "I can take care of him with you; wouldn't that be better?" Ming Lun was unwilling to give up.

"No, it wouldn't," Aili said. "I also believe I can take very good care of him, so you don't need to worry about these things."

"Aili, tell me the real reason, okay? I don't think you should reject me." Ming Lun stared at Xueli and said, "I want to know what the real reason is."

"What I just said is the real reason I want to tell you, really." Xueli furrowed her brows and said impatiently, "There is no possibility for us."

"Is it that your reason for rejecting me comes from the outside?" Ming Lun slowly raised his head and cast his gaze onto Chen Yu. "Because of him?"

"I've discovered that you really are a talent, damn it." Chen Yu looked at this guy with some depression. "How can you be so thick-skinned as to drag others into your own affairs? I am merely a passerby."

"Listen to me. I don't care what method you used to make my father respect you so much, but you had better not play any petty tricks." Ming Lun stared at Chen Yu; he had already begun to warn Chen Yu.

"I've discovered that you really are a freak. You fail at your proposal and then just bark at people like a dog? Do you think that is appropriate?" Chen Yu was simply speechless.

This grandson really was the fighter jet among freaks.

He felt he was truly innocent. After all, he was just accompanying Aili for a walk at home, and then he had his anger inexplicably vented on him? What did he take him for? A punching bag? He would not accept it.

"My foster father never trusts anyone easily, because his status is very high, and he will be taken advantage of if he is the slightest bit careless." Ming Lun gritted his teeth and said, "I have been his foster son for twenty years, and he has never trusted me like this. How did you manage to make him follow your every word?"

"Ming Lun, have you lost your mind?" Aili was furious. "Chen Yu is my father's savior, and he is also my savior."

"If it weren't for him, Father's terminal illness could never have been cured. If it weren't for him, I would still be living a life of darkness. He saved us, and we treat him as an honored guest. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Heh, he must have other ulterior motives." Ming Lun chuckled and said, "The reason he is going to such great lengths to get close to you all is because he has a bigger conspiracy. Aili, you must not..."

"Shut up, Ming Lun." Aili was truly angry. She had never expected Ming Lun to be like this.

Seeing that Aili was angry, Ming Lun stopped talking.

"From today on, I do not want to hear you question Mr. Chen in any way, otherwise, leave my house," Aili said angrily.

"Your house?" Aili's eyes flashed with a strange look. "This... is also my house."

"Yes, it is true that you grew up here, but you rack your brains every day to curry favor with me and my father, which makes me very disgusted," Aili laid her cards on the table.

"Heh, what is the reason that makes you so disgusted with me?" Aili's face carried a hint of a smile, but his expression gradually became desolate.

"Because you have too many schemes," Aili said. "Mr. Chen is our honored guest, and I do like him, but I can tell you responsibly that even without Mr. Chen's appearance, it would still be impossible between you and me. Do you understand?"

"Aili, you really make me very sad." Ming Lun sighed and said, "All this time, I thought we were a family."

"But I didn't expect that you would actually hate me so much?"

"So, don't you reflect on whether everything you did before was correct?" Aili said. "I have never liked people full of schemes; I think you should know that."

"The reason you are so cautious in front of us father and daughter is precisely because the power in my father's hands is something people are extremely eager to obtain, isn't it?"

A strange expression appeared on Ming Lun's face. He had not expected that in Aili's eyes, he was actually such a person.

And he had expected even less that some of his little actions, which he thought were clever, would actually be so disgusting.

"Alright, I am going back now. Tomorrow, go to the place where you should be; do not stay here." Aili was unwilling to stay here for another moment. She dropped a sentence coldly and then left.

Ming Lun's expression was extremely ugly. A proposal that had been carefully planned had ended up like this, which made him very unwilling and very painful.

He stared at Chen Yu, his face looking terrible. "Chen Yu, sooner or later I will figure out your purpose for coming here."

"You really are a freak." Chen Yu raised his head, unable to endure it any longer. "Listen, we are not on the same level at all."

"So everything you are pursuing now, whether it is money or power, is not what I am pursuing."

"Don't think that I am here to snatch something of yours. What do you have that is worth a Dharma Cultivator taking action to snatch? In my eyes, you are simply a freak."
