BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2587: Ice Flame Continent 44
Kang Yan nodded in agreement.
The First Elder was genuinely angry. If he had more than just this son, he wouldn’t have invested so much time and patience in someone he considered foolish.
“We’re on the verge of the competition. True, dealing with Kang Shi is within our grasp, but is that the only thing you should be concerned about? Do you not realize the urgency of cultivating, allowing your strength to shine within the clan? Only then can you win the hearts of the clan members. Don’t you understand?” the First Elder scolded.
“…”
“I’m truly disappointed in how you waste your time fooling around with a young girl,” the First Elder expressed his unhappiness.
His recent endeavors in the clan hadn’t been smooth, adding to his frustration.
Ultimately, how could he be pleased with a son who was so lackluster?
While Kang Yan knew the truth in his father’s words, he still felt unjustly treated. His father’s words didn’t account for the extent to which Ziluo had gone overboard.
“Father, no matter what, Ziluo is my wife. But look at her, acting arrogant and despotic all the time. It’s bad enough she doesn’t take me seriously, and now she openly seduces Kang Shi. Why would she go for someone as insignificant as him?”
“…”
“If anything happens in the future, it will be a disgrace to your son. What will outsiders think of me?” Kang Yan fumed at the thought. Kang Shi was the person he found most intolerable.
Ziluo seducing Kang Shi?
This meant Kang Shi’s pill refinement technique was effective.
He needed to act quickly, arranging matters to acquire Kang Shi’s pill refinement method for himself.
The pill was in their hands, so it naturally had nothing to do with him.
Another matter concerned Ziluo.
“If Ziluo really did something out of line, that’s a good thing. We have something on her. In the future, whether in front of Ziluo or the True Martial Race, we will be proactive and not passive like before. This is a good thing.”
“…”
“Yan’er, only through enduring hardship can one become an Exalted One,” the First Elder explained. “You’re still young after all. There are some things that you can’t endure. It’s nothing. As long as you can endure it, everything belongs to us. When we reach a certain height, we won’t have to worry anymore. No one can bully us.”
The First Elder spoke earnestly.
Although Kang Yan understood what his father meant, he still felt a little indignant and believed that it wasn’t the case.
He wanted to express his thoughts, but the First Elder didn’t give him a chance to speak.
Kang Yan returned unhappily.
He thought he could endure it for now. After the competition, everything would be fine. He wouldn’t have to suffer so much anymore.
Upon his return, Kang Yan remained unhappy.
He had no interest in Ziluo making a fuss on the side.
To Kang Yan, a woman like Ziluo, even if she hadn’t done anything yet, was no different from a troublemaker.
Seeing that Kang Yan was in a bad mood, Ziluo became even more displeased and slapped him directly.
Kang Yan glared at her but didn’t retaliate. Instead, he stood up and left.
This time, Ziluo created an even bigger scene, demanding that Kang Yan apologize to her.
And so it went.
Until the eve of the competition.
