The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

The cold moonlight bathed the plains of Morningstar territory.

In the midst of the gigantic magical screens,

An Su donned an elegant deep black tailcoat, a white high-collared shirt, and sported a mature and playful little mustache. His silvery hair fell naturally, and he stood there before the three border families, ramrod straight.

Very handsome and mature.

"Worthy of my son, really awesome!"

Today was Count Karlo's most exhilarating day.

Having been provoked by those two old bastards time and time again, the Count had been silently fuming inside.

Like a protagonist in a novel script who endures the villain's slaps in silence,

The reason Count Karlo had managed to bear it all this time was precisely to enjoy the expressions on those two old bastards' faces now!

Glancing sideways, he saw Marquis Norman standing there stiff as a board, his eyes bulging, pupils constricted, and his facial features twisted in a grotesque and rigid expression; on the other side, Annand was dropping his newly written "Moon Family Quotes" to start a new book, instructing the old butler to record whatever An Su would say later.

Afterward, to have Arthur copy it twenty times.

Ah, so refreshing.

Count Karlo felt a surge of exhilaration rush from his feet straight to the crown of his head. The feeling of showing off and slapping faces was utterly addictive. His own son was so impressive, and he decided to reward him with three gold mines later.

"To tell you the truth,"

Count Karlo's lips curled with a cold smile, and he delightedly watched his two brothers as he tossed the engagement letter written to Miss Yue Er in front of them, his expression morphing into a wickedly charming and unbridled grin,

"Miss Yue Er has long been one of the Morningstar Family!"

What!

Marquis Norman and Annand were both shocked at the same time.

What!

An Su was equally shocked on the other end, when did this happen, and how was he unaware?

Count Karlo's sudden outburst had scared the daylights out of them.

Could everything that had happened tonight have been within Count Karlo's plans?

Who would have guessed, this third brother who never lies, was the one with the deepest secrets.

Annand examined the letter, reading it carefully, revealing a complex, thoughtful expression. He unfolded the letter and read it from beginning to end once more, clicking his tongue lightly, eyes cold and desolate, helplessly shaking his head.

This look, observed by Norman, stirred in his heart an ominous premonition.

Annand was the most powerful demigod of the border regions, who had weathered many a storm in his life.

The contents of this letter were so insidiously terrifying that even a demigod sighed and shook his head.

"What does the letter say?" Marquis Norman asked, "that could cause you such a tormented and complicated look?"

"Ah, it's not..." Annand awkwardly scratched his head, "After reading it, I just remembered, it seems I can't read."

"..."

Marquis Norman thought Annand was the most embarrassing demigod of the borderlands.

Snatching the letter from Annand's hands, he looked at it closely and there it was, in black and white on the third line:

[I am Yue Er's father]

[Esteemed Count Chenxing, Sir Karlo]

[I agree to this marriage]

Another Yue Er's father suddenly pops up.

Just how messed up was the birth of Yue Er's father, allotting a daughter to two families to bargain with?

Marquis Norman watched Count Karlo's triumphant expression in shock, never expecting the Morningstar Family still had such a trump card up their sleeve.

As a legendary figure of the borders who had triumphed in affairs of the heart for years, he had never known defeat. It had always been him impressing others, but to his surprise, today he was one-upped by a minor!

The honor of the Moon Family was now thoroughly lost.

I can't believe I lost to a kid...

Marquis Norman couldn't accept it at all.

This young man was so formidable that if he wasn't dealt with now, he might become a dire threat to the Moon Family in the future.

Marquis Norman was quite worried that once An Su came of age, he would sweep away all the beautiful girls, which could lead to the Moon Family facing the disaster of having no descendants.

What made Marquis Norman feel even more humiliated was that on the side, Annand was consoling him,

"Look on the bright side, Norman, you and Yue Er aren't married, so whatever happens, it's not against the law."

Annand sighed lightly, patting Norman's shoulder as if imparting the wisdom of the ages, reciting a sentence from the "Moon Family Quotes," "We should have a high-minded view of love."

"You can't always be concerned with what children do."

You dimwit, why did you have to write down everything I said before?

Struck by his own boomerang, Marquis Norman couldn't decide whether to feel angry or let go. The pride of being from the Moon Nobility meant he had to learn to force a smile, and with great effort, he squeezed out a grin, addressing An Su on the screen,

"Isn't it a bit early for puppy love?"

An Su sported an expression of utter constipation.

This was the Morningstar family manor, where obviously, all the Morningstar elders were gathered. Aunts and uncles pointed at An Su, engrossed in gossip, the very driving force behind human curiosity.

And as for his cousins of the same generation, they all looked at An Su with admiration. At this moment, An Su's status in their hearts soared immeasurably.

They had heard about the terrifying dominion of the Moon Family, like a dark cloud hanging over the borderlands. An Su, however, had managed to defeat the fearsome Marquis of the Moon, achieving what the previous generation couldn't, becoming an idol in the hearts of all young hotbloods.

Unexpectedly gaining such prestige, but An Su didn't feel happy about it.

He was just pulling up a stool to enjoy the show; how did he become the show himself?
