The discussions almost seemed to lift the banquet hall’s ceiling.
Yet, Xue An remained completely unmoved, quietly watching Wei Qingxiao.
Wei Qingxiao’s expression shifted repeatedly.
To be honest, this thought had indeed crossed Wei Qingxiao’s mind.
But this wasn’t the Central Ghost Realm—it was the depths of the Ghost Realm.
This journey was meant to escape family pressure, so she had only brought along a small entourage.
On the other hand, the other side represented nearly all the powerful aristocrats in the Ghost Realm’s depths.
This disparity in strength made such an idea appear naïve and laughably absurd.
Thus, Wei Qingxiao had no choice but to leave in defeat.
Now, hearing Xue An’s words, countless thoughts flashed through Wei Qingxiao’s mind.
Who is he?
Why would he say this?
What is his goal?
These tangled thoughts left Wei Qingxiao speechless.
Xue An, as if able to see through her mind, said calmly, "There’s no need to speculate about my identity. I only ask you one question—do you want to change this outcome?"
Almost instinctively, Wei Qingxiao nodded, "Of course I do, but so what? Do you really think you can help me achieve that?"
Her tone was laced with heavy sarcasm.
Xue An smiled, "Alright then! I’ll help you make it happen!"
At that moment, many in the banquet hall burst into laughter out of sheer anger.
"Someone drag this nonsensical fool out and execute him! Spare us the stain on these premises!" a Luo Family elder demanded coldly.
In an instant, over a dozen guards surged forward, intent on acting.
But before they could even approach, Luo Jian stepped forward, blocking them all.
"Let me see who dares to move!"
Hiss!
The crowd collectively gasped in shock.
What was going on?
Why was the Luo Family’s Seventh Young Master standing up for this audacious man?
Luo Qifeng roared in fury, "Seventh Brother, what do you think you’re doing? Are you rebelling?"
At this point, Luo Jian had already steeled his resolve. "That’s right, I am rebelling!"
Many were left dumbfounded by this turn of events.
The Luo Family Head, Luo Gaoyang, erupted with rage. "You ungrateful brat! Seize this traitor at once!"
The guards hesitated.
At the same time, Ren Tianqi also stepped forward, standing beside Luo Jian.
"Seventh Young Master, don’t forget you have me as well!" Ren Tianqi said with a smile.
From within the crowd, the Ren Family Head, Ren Xiong, froze for a moment before letting out a furious roar, "Ren Tianqi, what do you think you’re doing?"
Ren Tianqi sneered, "What am I doing? Dear father, do you really need to ask? Naturally, I’m rebelling too!"
Boom!
The crowd erupted into chaos!
No one could make sense of what was happening.
Right then, Luo Xuan suddenly leapt up, pointing at Luo Jingting, who stood behind Xue An, and began to curse.
"It’s you, you wretched thing, isn’t it? I knew we should never have taken you in. As expected, a bastard will always be a bastard! How dare you go against the Luo Family!"
The words were harsh and vile.
Luo Jingting’s face turned deathly pale—not because of the venom in Luo Xuan’s words, but because they confirmed a harsh truth.
She truly wasn’t part of the Luo Family!
Everything had been a lie!
So, she really was just an unwanted bastard child!
