This ancestor of theirs was a very domineering person, she didn’t like people to disobey her. The person who replied to her was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hurriedly used his communicator and connected to the other side. Very quickly, the holographic projection appeared on the other side appeared on the communicator and he anxiously asked, “Is your side ready yet? Great-grandmother is unhappy now. She said that if you guys don’t arrive within five minutes, she will be really angry!”
Hearing this, the person on the other side was obviously dazed for a while before he replied, “Understood, we will arrive shortly.”
Instantly, the whole conference room fell into an eerie silence.
Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi shared a look. It looked like these Elders of the Hong Family were planning to oppress them a bit. Hehe, looks like things would be really interesting today. They wondered what Dali was going to do.
Time passed very quickly. Three minutes later, some noise came from outside and a large group of people came in. The person leading the group was the person projected on the communicator just now. Once he came in, he hurriedly explained, “Mistress, we were handling some issues just now, so we came slightly late. Please forgive us.”
The others all nodded their heads.
“Ptui, you waste my time because of that nonsense stuff?” Coldness flashed in Hua Yueling’s eyes. However, the law wouldn’t punish the majority. It wasn’t appropriate for her to punish all of them, so she just nodded and coldly said, “Hurry up and sit down.”
Very quickly, everyone was seated.
After the Elders sat down, their eyes all gathered on Hong Dali, who was pulled by Hua Yueling to her side. They looked at him for a while and then frowned. After sharing a look with each other, then just sat there and didn’t speak a word.
Hong Dali looked at them and secretly laughed inside his heart. “Looks like they aren’t very friendly. Oh well, it’s normal for such skirmishes to happen inside a big family. I’ll just play by ear.”
“Okay!” Hong Xingyu saw that almost everyone was here. There weren’t a lot of core members residing in the manor, so these few people were practically everyone living here currently. As for the remaining few, they had their own duties to do. It was fine even if they weren’t here. He instantly said, “The reason I gathered everyone here today is that there are a few new members to our Hong Family!”
Hearing his words, everyone’s gaze looked towards him. Hong Xingyu gradually introduced. “Hong Dali, the offspring of my Jun’er. This child’s body isn’t very good, so remember, if anyone dares to bully him, I will break that person’s legs!”
Everyone greeted in unison. “Greetings, Little Brother Dali!”
Yup, all of these people were very powerful and therefore long-living. Although they might look young, they were all in fact much older than Hong Dali, so it was quite appropriate for them to address Hong Dali as “little brother”.
Hong Dali stood up, grinned, and bowed, saying, “Hello, everyone. My name is Hong Dali. This is the first time we see each other, please take care of me next time.” After introducing himself, he sat back down. At this moment, someone curiously asked, “Little Brother Dali, what do you like to do normally? How’s your power? Are you Stellar-level yet?”
Hearing his words, the rest all laughed secret. Such an ill-looking person who looked like he would pant every few steps, how could it be possible that he would be Stellar-level?
“Huh? My hobby?” Hong Dali gave an innocent smile and replied, “My hobby is to squander, interest is to squander, and what I do normally is also to squander! I’m going to become the biggest prodigal in the entire universe—that’s why my power is only very average, I haven’t even reach Planet-level yet. Because my lackeys will settle everything for me, hehe.”
Everyone stared in bewilderment after hearing that!
This fellow actually said that he was a prodigal! His hobby, interest, and what he did normally was to squander!
Actually, if Hong Dali had said something else, they might not feel anything special. In a normal situation, Hong Dali should be saying something like “I shall train hard from now on to serve the family” and so on, but no one expected that he would say something like that!
Therefore, some of them couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Even a few female members also frowned and helplessly shook their heads.
Originally, with how the Old Madam adored Hong Dali, these girls should at least slightly express their friendship to Hong Dali. But now, to them, they were on different levels as Hong Dali. In the future, Hong Dali would probably become more and more ordinary and eventually die like a normal person. As for them, they were the daughters of heaven, their future was limitless.
But obviously, the Old Madam’s temper wasn’t very good today.
With a “swoosh”, she turned into a flash of light and instantly appeared in front of the male member who laughed the loudest just now. Her face now was cold as ice, her expression so dark that the darkness could almost thicken into water droplets.
That male member was instantly shocked silly.
“PA!” With a crisp sound, the Old Madam slapped him in front of everyone else and said in a deep voice, “Insolent rascal, is my sweetheart someone that you can laugh at!?”
Everyone was shocked!
They had planned to watch a good show at first, but they were all stunned now. As for the Elders, their head had even gone numb. Although Old Madam’s temper was very violent normally, she wouldn’t directly hit someone like today.
It looked like this Hong Dali did indeed gain her favor.
Actually, Hua Yueling was also doing this to warn the rest. If she didn’t express her attitude clearly today, who knew what those rascals might be up to next time. She must definitely prevent this kind of thing from happening.
“All of you listen very carefully.” Hua Yueling looked around and coldly said, “From now on, Dali is your brother, and also my favorite child! Whoever dares to plot against him or do anything next time, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”
Everyone fell silent and didn’t dare to disregard Hong Dali anymore.
Sometimes, it was also a capability to gain someone’s liking to such an extent.
“Puff…” Amongst them, a quite coquettish looking girl suddenly gave a soft sigh. It looked like with Hong Dali here in their family, their days from now on wouldn’t be boring anymore. With Old Madam’s performance today, it looked like even if Hong Dali squandered to a huge extent, no one would dare to stop him.
However, wasn’t there a saying that says the higher a person climbs, the harder he falls? Once this Hong Dali Old Madam’s favor, he would probably be eaten by the other members very cleanly.
The scene entered an awkward moment, as no one knew what they should say at such a moment.
Yet, just at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and a gentle voice sounded. “Great-grandmother, I heard that Hong Dali will be here today?”
The girl’s voice was very nice sounding, very ethereal. The awkward atmosphere was instantly lessened and everyone’s gaze shifted towards her.
The girl was in a light-pink dress. She elegantly walked in, her small face looking quite young, but this didn’t pull down her overall rating. The young girl had an insipid expression, looking like the snow lotus on a cold mountain. Although she carried a slight smile, there was a faint sense of distance between her and everyone else.
This young girl was extremely beautiful, but she had already begun to develop a refined temperament. This really caused others to feel curious about how beautiful she would become when she matured.
In terms of looks and temperament, this young girl actually didn’t lose out to Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei at all. It was no wonder the men all looked at her with fanatical eyes.
“Haha, my Xiangyu is here?” Upon seeing this young girl, Hua Yueling’s face had a rare smile and said, “Come, come, your Brother Dali has only just arrived. I was just being curious where you were just now. Did something hold you back just now?”
Hearing her name, Hong Dali and the rest all shared a look secretly. This young girl’s name was as beautiful as her looks.
Also, from how Hua Yueling looked at her, they could see that Old Madam definitely adored on her a lot too.
The young girl softly nodded, then looked towards the stage and quickly saw Hong. She stretched out her snow-white hand and softly waved, then smiled and said, “Hello, Brother Dali, my name is Hua Xiangyu. This is our first meeting, please take care of me from now on!”
Although she only just make a soft greeting, the other male members all behaved as if they were bewitched and uncontrollable swallowed a gulp of saliva. However, their eyes were filled with even more envy and jealousy when they looked at Hong Dali now.
Why!? Why was this good-for-nothing Hong Dali able to gain special treatment from Hua Xiangyu? Why!?
It was no wonder that they were so jealous. Hong Dali didn’t understand this Hua Xiangyu, but they did. In fact, 80% of the conversations between those male members normally were all about her.
Hua Xiangyu, 16, the number one genius in the younger generation of the Hong Family. At a young age, she was already a Fifth-level Stellar-level warrior. She might look very feeble and gentle, but in fact, she was very close to being a Star Sector-level warrior!
Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling had spent countless resources on her. If those resources were changed into money, that would be an extremely high figure!
Even Hua Yueling was also very satisfied with her. She smiled and said, “Little Xiangyu, your complexion looks quite good today, did you made an advancement again today?”
“Yup.” Hua Xiangyu nodded. “I have already entered the Star Sector-level yesterday. Great-grandmother, when will you give me a high-grade Soul Stone? I’m only lacking it now.”
Star Sector-level! Hua Xiangyu had already entered the Star Sector-level!?
“Really!?” As expected, even Hua Yueling was surprised. “Entering the Star Sector-level at only 16-years-old, you are the number two person in our Hong Family for the past 500 years. Your talent is on par to even that of my Jun’er. Sigh, what a pity…” As she spoke up to this point, her mind wandered off again.
Hua Xiangyu shook her arm and said, “Great-grandmother, don’t be sad. Isn’t Big Bro Dali here now, his talent is also definitely very good too!”
