Originally, Gao Teng planned to bring Gao Yuanyuan with him to make initial contact with the mysterious True Man, who had seized the third-grade Spirit Jade mine, and probe the man's background.
Then, based on his findings, the Gao Family would decide whether to form an alliance with this man, and whether to let Gao Yuanyuan dedicate herself to him as a means to achieve the Gao Family's goals.
However, Gao Yuanyuan's kneeling and her words put Gao Teng and the entire Gao Family on a fire grill.
This act of kneeling was not merely a trampling on the dignity of the Gao Family; it had also lowered the head of the Gao Family, conceded them inferior in front of this man.
As a result, the Gao Family and he were completely put in a passive position.
Now, facing the pressure of the Taoist Puppet, Gao Teng yearned to respond in a neither servile nor overbearing manner; he at least couldn't let the Gao Family bow their heads so low.
But could he still accomplish that?
