Chapter 553 Father
could go immediately, this issue needs discussion. A meeting with the entire demonic sect would have to be held for people to decide whether to go, when to go, and who should go.From that journal, it...Chapter 553: Father...
When Free-and-Easy said this, Luo Junming's heart immediately sank. He knew that he was in trouble. He had been keeping an eye on the development of events and understood that Free-and-Easy held a significant position in Luo Yunqing’s heart.
No matter if Free-and-Easy truly didn’t care for his title as prince, this would definitely result in him being reprimanded by the family head. He deeply regretted speaking up about it; there was no need to bring on such unnecessary trouble.
Most importantly, they were completely indifferent towards their status as a prince. This was simply looking for trouble where none existed.
"Who has an issue" Luo Yunqing coldly asked.
Please don’t let it be me… please don’t let it be me!
Luo Junming silently prayed in his heart; he certainly didn’t want to be singled out...
"That certain someone just now, that’s right, the Law Enforcement Elder's son said I wasn't worthy," Free-and-Easy smiled as he spoke.
Finished…
Free-and-Easy was a person who did not provoke unless provoked. However, if someone did provoke him, then they could expect to receive lessons. Therefore, he would bring it up and clearly name the individual involved.
"Junming!" Luo Yunqing looked at the head-down Luo Junming, and understood that this incident was certainly due to Luo Junming overstepping his bounds. Regarding Free-and-Easy being made a prince, there were many voices of opposition; Luo Yunqing naturally knew about it.
He originally didn’t think much of it because he felt that Free-and-Easy wouldn’t come back. If they opposed, then so be it. Suppressing the dissenters would also create discordant sounds, and thus he hadn’t acted on it.
Who knew that Free-and-Easy would actually return, which made his head ache. If only I had suppressed these voices earlier...
In fact, Luo Yunqing originally intended to mention this later but never expected the matter to come up so soon. How could he be so impatient
Luo Yunqing originally held a high opinion of Luo Junming, but after this incident, his evaluation dropped significantly, directly affecting Luo Junming’s status within the Luo family.
"I think there are others who feel this way too, it's just that he was more straightforward in expressing it. Therefore, I feel that this princely title doesn’t suit me; however, I want to change the name of my prince's mansion." Free-and-Easy smiled as he spoke.
"Regardless of their thoughts, once you have been given a title, it won't be taken back. This matter ends here and there’s no need for further discussion. Instead, let me ask why you are unwilling to change your surname," Luo Yunqing was equally straightforward and didn’t continue on the topic, immediately stating that the matter was settled.
The latter part of his words not only shifted the subject but were also something he wanted to inquire about previously. Initially, Luo Yunqing believed Free-and-Easy’s refusal to change surnames stemmed from a reluctance to acknowledge Third Uncle; however, now understanding this was a misunderstanding, it naturally led to different thoughts. Although he was certain that Free-and-Easy would not change his surname.
"It's true that I am the son of Luo Cloud Sky, but this doesn’t mean I must take his surname. Only those who raised me have the right."
Having given birth to him yet failing to raise him naturally resulted in significant differences and thus he had no such qualification.
Free-and-Easy’s words made it clear what he meant, but also left a slight impression of being unfilial. Yet if one were to label him as unfilial, then his self-sacrifice for his father would suggest otherwise; this was a contradictory feeling.
"Alright, let's wait until Cloud Sky returns to discuss this matter further since it’s between you and your father." Luo Yunqing somewhat awkwardly stated that he wouldn’t continue with the topic. He regretted bringing up such a difficult subject, as it only brought on unnecessary trouble for himself.
"Then, Family Head, I will take my leave now. Regarding the title of prince, I still feel unqualified; you all can discuss further." Free-and-Easy smiled and left after expressing his opinion, which was already conveyed, achieving his purpose. Other matters were not within his purview.
"That brat really is something else, others would dream to have such a title. Otherwise they wouldn't envy him while he himself doesn’t want it... That’s true, for him, this isn’t anything special." Luo Yunqing was somewhat dispirited and then had some reflections.
Free-and-Easy's capabilities were the clearest to him; although these only represented a part of Free-and-Easy’s abilities. Just from what he knew already, he could be certain that Free-and-Easy would always become a core figure wherever he went. The Luo family was merely a small temple, and he stayed there simply due to having the bloodline of the family.
However, it was laughable that within this small temple of the Luo family, people thought Free-and-Easy did not deserve his position here; if he had cared about such things, he would have left long ago, and the Luo family’s loss would be great.
"Everyone listen well. None of you should doubt Free-and-Easy's status; this is something he deserves. If anyone can contribute as much as him, I will also give them equivalent positions, including my own." Luo Yunqing coldly said, reminding everyone not to make the same mistake again.
Although they clearly felt the intent behind his warning, most still held doubts. The meaning in his words was that Free-and-Easy’s contributions warranted him taking over as family head; this was the position people were questioning.
Does Free-and-Easy really have such a huge influence
This question they may never understand because Luo Yunqing didn’t explain it clearly, and Free-and-Easy would certainly not discuss these matters with others. They could only investigate on their own, but how much could they uncover
Regardless of whether the people around him doubted this or not, they all acquiesced and did not further meddle in matters concerning Free-and-Easy because they understood it wouldn’t benefit them.
"What’s up Is everything settled" The eldest Miss asked when Free-and-Easy returned to his seat.
"Nope. He doesn't want to revoke the title, forget it; I didn't receive it anyway and can just ignore it." Free-and-Easy said indifferently and then served some dishes for Lone Star before drinking a toast with the eldest Miss.
"I received it on your behalf," Miss Three of the Nan Gong family said at this moment, looking seriously at Xiaoyao. This made Xiaoyao a little surprised because he had never seen such a serious expression from Miss Three before.
"... Alright, even if I accept it, I can still resign later on; it doesn’t matter," Xiaoyao remained silent for a moment and then admitted this point. This made the few girls by his side a little surprised as well as Miss Three herself.
"Why didn't you say that I cannot represent you After all, my fiancée status was never approved of by you," Miss Three asked puzzledly.
“Feel free to use the identity of fiancée if you want. As for why, it’s unrelated. You can represent me. At least when it comes to these matters, I don’t mind,” Xiaoyao smiled and said.
"Ah…" The few girls were stunned; they didn't expect that Xiaoyao would say something like this, meaning that he could be represented by others. Although it seemed to only apply in certain situations, it also indicated one thing: He treated them as his own people.
They all knew that though Xiaoyao appeared kind and approachable, in reality, he kept a distance with everyone, not truly getting close to anyone, including themselves.
The only person who was truly close to him was Gu Xing alone. This wasn't questionable as well; at the same time, they didn’t feel jealous because Xiaoyao had grown up together with Gu Xing since childhood, a unique bond that no one else could replicate.
Envy That certainly existed—though it wasn’t romantic love, rather pure admiration for him. They were fond of Xiaoyao and believed that between Gu Xing and Xiaoyao, there was just friendship; otherwise, he wouldn't have sought out other women to marry.
But this seemed not to be a problem—should one day Gu Xing suddenly decide she wanted to marry Xiaoyao, he would most likely agree because it’s all about marrying wives anyway. It might as well be the childhood sweetheart, Gu Xing.
This idea was something these girls probably understood; secretly they said that Xiaoyao was a heartless fool who would marry anyone female.
However, he seemed to only intend to take one wife, and the reason for this could be discerned from their subsequent conversation.
"Xiaoyao, if all of us wanted to marry you, would you accept everyone" Miss Nan Gong Xuxin asked with a smile. It appeared somewhat as a joke but in reality she was very curious about his answer.
On this topic, when they had initially discussed the idea of marrying under Xiaoyao’s name, all of them had considered and debated whether he would take everyone or just some after learning their decision.
The eldest Miss Nan Gong believed that Xiaoyao wouldn’t marry Nan Gong Xuxin since they weren't close friends. However, she herself was fine because Xiaoyao had already agreed to let her be a nominal fiancée.
Nan Gong Xuxin felt that the eldest’s opinion made some sense but refused to concede and argued back, stating that she was the best possible wife for him, as he would surely choose her.
"All of you That's absurd; he is mine," Black Snow spoke up.
"Shut up!" The eldest Miss Nan Gong and Nan Gong Xuxin immediately rebuked her. "This isn’t your place to speak."
“You…”
"Cough, cough, don't argue. Seeing all of you like this makes me realize that I only need to marry one person; there’s no way I can afford so many," Xiaoyao said.
"You can manage it. You’ve already taken care of us for years and haven’t shown any strain," the eldest Miss Nan Gong said smilingly, patting Xiaoyao's shoulder.
To be honest, over these past few years, Xiaoyao had indeed been supporting them all along—be it tuition fees or medicinal pills, he provided everything they needed. Essentially, he was taking care of them.
"I do feel strained, and besides, if I marry you guys, there will be children to raise in the future; that would also be very demanding," Xiaoyao said seriously.
"Don’t worry about raising kids. We’ll take care of it ourselves; all you need to do is give us babies," the eldest Miss Nan Gong stated霸氣地說道。
“……”逍遙沉默了。
“就是啊，孩子的事情你不用擔心，我們現在的家產夠養了。”南宮素心說道。
“……”逍遙繼續沉默，這大小姐已經夠讓人無語了，你南宮素心怎麼也跟著亂來，難道在一起久了，感情好了。
"You don’t need to worry about the kids, our current assets are sufficient," Nan Gong Xuxin added.
Xiaoyao remained silent once more. The eldest Miss Nan Gong was already baffling enough; how could Nan Gong Xuxin also join in the chaos Did spending so much time together make them feel closer
Just as everyone was talking about children, something unexpected happened that left everyone stunned and somewhat unable to react.
"Huh" Xiaoyao softly exclaimed, seeming to have noticed something.
"Daddy..."
A dainty little girl flung herself into Xiaoyao’s arms, calling out affectionately.

Xianyao learned something about Guxing; the other person hadn’t bothered her anymore, probably because of Fox of Heart Moon and also due to lack of time on his side to deal with her.Two months later,...
