Chapter 693: Has He Gone Mad? The Ancestor Wants to Lead the Hao Tian Clan to Pledge Allegiance?_1

```

"Hahahahaha!"

Tang Chen's hearty laughter echoed in the hall, leaving the seven elders and the Tang Xiao siblings stunned.

"Very good, very good indeed," he said.

"Yuehua, you've done well."

Tang Yuehua's pretty face was filled with shock.

She had been biting her lip, ready to withstand the terrifying pressure brought by her grandfather; she had not expected that he would not only refrain from flying into a rage,

but actually, insanely, praise her?

"Hiss..."

Tang Xiao inhaled sharply, digging his nails into the palm of his hand.

What... what is going on?

This wasn't at all what he had imagined would happen.

The other elders looked at each other with astonishment, a deep confusion flashing across their eyes.

They couldn't possibly understand what was occurring.

Just moments ago, wasn't the ancestor in a furious state, ready to punish Tang Yuehua?

So why was he now offering praise?

The seventh elder's face was swollen and dripping with blood, several of his ribs broken, as he clutched his chest.

His appearance was pitiable in the extreme.

But more than the physical pain, it was the emotional shock that was greater.

He had thought that Tang Yuehua, accused of fraternizing with a wild boy, would face the brutal suppression and punishment from the patriarch. Yet now, it turned into commendation?

He couldn't accept it!

Tang Yuehua trembled slightly as she looked at Tang Chen, whose eyes were wild with joy.

She had never seen Tang Chen like this before.

After all, Tang Chen was a patriarch of the Hao Tian Clan, and from sect masters and elders to deacons and servants, everyone revered him like a god and a belief.

Even as his own granddaughter, she had never seen him so ecstatic.

It was simply incomprehensible.

Could it be that the patriarch had gone mad on his trip outside?

Was his mind not right?

This guess unavoidably crossed everyone's mind, because the joy on Tang Chen's face was unstoppable.

His bearing was nothing like the cold and majestic demeanor of a respected person from before.

Watching his own ancestor almost delirious with joy, the corners of Tang Xiao's mouth involuntarily twitched.

His expression resembled that of a beggar who had gone out to beg, content with just a copper coin or a steamed bun, but who then unexpectedly received a whole bag of golden soul coins, thrilled to the skies.

"Hahaha."

The robust laughter in the hall continued endlessly.

Unable to hold back, Tang Yuehua timidly asked,

"Ancestor... Grandfather, what is this?"

Tang Chen's laughter was interrupted, but he was not only not annoyed; he immediately stopped laughing.

He looked at his granddaughter with nothing but kindness and benevolence.

"Yuehua, don't be afraid," he said.

"You've done everything very well."

"Today, if anyone dares to speak ill of you, your grandfather will break his dog legs."

Hearing the patriarch defending Tang Yuehua, the seven elders and Tang Xiao were even more dumbfounded. What... what exactly was going on?

Hadn't the ancestor been shivering with anger just a while ago because of Tang Yuehua's clandestine affair with that wild boy?

They had no idea that Tang Chen wasn't shivering with rage.

It was excitement that made him tremble.

How could he not be aware of Luo Yu's strength?

He knew that if someone as talented and extraordinary as Luo Yu did not die young, he would definitely reign over Soul Land and become a supreme existence.

Seeing Bi Bidong and Bossi getting so close to Luo Yu made him envious beyond words.

But what could he do as a senile old man, wanting to curry favor and build relationships?

Even if he shamelessly acted like a fawning dog, he'd probably just get kicked away and despised.

His strength as an Ultimate Douluo might seem unattainable to others, but he was very clear that it was nothing in front of Luo Yu.

When he returned, he was worried, since the Hao Tian Clan had chosen to ally with Luo Yu. But the chance to deepen the relationship in the future seemed slim.

After all, Bi Bidong and Bossi were Luo Yu's women, and within the Tiandou Empire, Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, and Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, there were also Luo Yu's women.

As a man, of course, he would first support the forces of his own women.

What was Tang Chen in comparison?

He wouldn't even make the top five.

With his future so uncertain, how could he not be worried?

It wasn't until he heard about Tang Yuehua and Luo Yu's relationship that he was excited, experiencing a mental climax.

Tang Chen's heart was in tumult!

```

Shit.

What the fuck is a "pleasant surprise", this is certainly what you call a fucking "pleasant surprise".

Turns out I, too, can be related to a big shot, and if things work out, he'll be my grandson-in-law. How could he not get excited?

Thinking of Luo Yu's terrifying strength, stunning strategic scope, and boldness, Tang Chen felt his heart race.

If such a man could become his grandson-in-law.

Hiss—

Tang Chen was already elated.

Now he's not just about disciplining Tang Yuehua, he even wants to dote on his granddaughter like she's a queen, treating her to the best of everything.

At this moment, suddenly jumps out a seventh elder, asking him to discipline Tang Yuehua.

To make him break up Tang Yuehua and Luo Yu.

Tang Chen felt that not killing you was already showing you mercy.

Especially when the seventh elder repeatedly derided Luo Yu as a wild boy, Tang Chen's scalp tingled even more.

Dammit, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you.

That little ancestor doesn't hesitate to chop even the Rakshasa God; you might be able to provoke him, but I sure as hell can't.

If the seventh elder wasn't really one of our own, Tang Chen would have slapped him to death by now.

"Yuehua, your marriage, grandpa wholeheartedly approves."

"Huh?"

Tang Yuehua was stunned, the contrast was a bit too much.

Just now, she felt like the whole world was against her, preventing her from being with Luo Yu, but now suddenly all obstacles have been skipped, moving straight to marriage.

The surrounding elders and the sect master's mental states collapsed.

They felt their brains had short-circuited, unable to keep up with the elder's pace.

"Huh what? You're not getting any younger."

"Since you've found someone you like, then bring him back quickly, don't delay it any longer. Hurry up and arrange the wedding," Tang Chen urged.

"Grandpa will personally oversee your wedding, acting as the officiant."

Tang Yuehua's eyelids twitched, she was utterly baffled now.

This...

Why does it feel like the elder is more eager to get her married than she is, as if he's thirsty for it?

What exactly is going on here?

Which part went wrong?

Tang Chen seemed to realize that his words might have been a bit improper, so he corrected himself:

"Ask him, if he doesn't want to get married in the Hao Tian Clan, grandpa will carry you out on a palanquin. He says where the wedding will be, and we'll send you there."

"If you need a dowry, our Hao Tian Clan still has some foundation."

"Huh?"

The seventh elder and Tang Xiao's mouths hung open in shock.

They wondered if they were dreaming.

They really couldn't accept it, how could their always dignified and domineering elder now suddenly act like an old sycophant.

Although Tang Yuehua was confused, she couldn't help blushing when she heard Tang Chen's words.

"Grandpa...we haven't even swiped each other's backgrounds, how can we jump straight to talking about marriage and dowries?"

"You've got to hurry then. There aren't many good men out there, you must seize the chance, you know," Tang Chen advised earnestly.

Seeing the elder's maternal concern, the crowd of elders around him felt their minds go numb.

"Elder! Elder, this is not right!!!"

"You haven't even looked into that boy, how can you be so arbitrary?"

The seventh elder clutched his chest, letting out an indignant cry, his emotions seriously agitated.

"What kind of shock did you experience outside, why have you become like this?"

Tang Chen turned around, his gaze fixing on the seventh elder, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

"Boom!"

A red and black column of light erupted within the hall, blowing off the dome and shooting into the sky.

That was Tang Chen's aura exploding forth.

He dashed from his spot.

His palm pressed against the seventh elder's face, firmly gripping it.

Directly slamming him against the wall.

"Crash!"

The wall burst open, debris flying everywhere.

Tang Chen said fiercely:

"What the hell."

"In my life, I don't need to explain my actions to you."

"Do you even know who Yuehua likes!!!"
