"Yes!"
As soon as the Dean's words fell, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
When Huangfu Aohan entered the Dean's office, he noticed the contemptuous gazes of the staff towards him.
Huangfu Aofeng sat on a chair, his expression grave.
The other elders also stared down sternly, as if discussing something important.
Huangfu Aofeng's eyes swept across the people in the Dean's office, finally landing on Huangfu Aohan.
"Father!"
Huangfu Aofeng looked at Huangfu Aohan and asked with a complicated expression, "Are you sure you want to marry that girl?"
As soon as Huangfu Aofeng finished speaking, the many noble ladies present widened their eyes, looking at Huangfu Aofeng in disbelief.
"Father, are you mistaken? How can someone like that be worthy of being a daughter-in-law of our Huangfu family?"
One of the socialites was the first to voice her doubt.
"That's right! Father, someone like that simply cannot be a daughter-in-law of our Huangfu family!"
"Father, we all know you like Miss Su, but you can't let such an ugly girl become your daughter-in-law!"
Huangfu Aohan's expression flickered between anger and unease, his brows furrowed with intense fury.
Listening to the discussions below, Huangfu Aohan felt a surge of annoyance.
He coldly swept his gaze over the noble ladies below and sternly asked, "Are you questioning my decision?"
"Father, how would we dare to question your decision!"
"That's right! Father, we are merely speaking the truth!"
""
Seeing Huangfu Aohan's anger, everyone quickly restrained themselves a little.
"All of you, shut up!"
Huangfu Aofeng slammed his hand on the table and roared.
Upon hearing this, everyone was so frightened they dared not utter a sound.
"Everything you said is correct! But! Do you know who sent those men in black?"
"Father, stop beating around the bush! Quickly tell us who sent them!"
"Exactly!"
Huangfu Aofeng's expression grew colder, and he said in a low voice, "Their master is our Huangfu family's third grandfather, Huangfu Zhen!"
"What?"
"Huangfu Zhen?"
"Then why did he send people here? Could it be that he wants to rebel?"
"Huangfu Zhen? How dare he? What is he?"
""
The Dean's office erupted into chaos.
Although Huangfu Zhen was not a high-ranking official in the Huangfu family, he was a genuine first-rank official.
This rank was beyond the reach of imperial descendants like Huangfu Aofeng.
Those present were all the children of Huangfu Aofeng.
They did not wish to see their elders bullied and ostracized, so upon hearing that Huangfu Zhen was plotting rebellion, they all became furious.
Huangfu Aohan looked at the crowd below and said with a grave expression, "Our Huangfu family has always been loyal to the emperor and devoted to the country, for the sake of our Huangfu family's empire and its people! However, we are now being targeted by assassinations. We must be vigilant. Therefore, after this matter is completely resolved, everyone will follow me to the border to defend it and protect the safety of the Huangfu family!"
"This is absolutely unacceptable!"
A noble lady suddenly stood up and pointed at Huangfu Aohan, saying angrily.
"Why not? Are the descendants of our Huangfu family to be insulted by outsiders?"
Another noble lady also stood up and shouted angrily, "Even if everything Father said is true, I believe that that scoundrel Huangfu Zhen must have sent people to assassinate our Huangfu family to seize power. As an outsider, how can he possibly manage the affairs of our entire Huangfu family?"
"Hmph! What is he?"
"Indeed, what kind of Huangfu family member is he!"
"Our Huangfu family does not need such a patriarch!"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Aohan looked at the noble lady with a cold expression and rebuked sternly, "What are you, to dare be so presumptuous in front of me!"
The noble lady was startled by Huangfu Aohan's voice.
She looked at the majestic man before her and couldn't help but flinch.
Seeing this, Huangfu Aohan became even more enraged. He raised his finger, pointing at the noble lady, and roared, "What are all of you, to be qualified to question this King's decision?"
The noble lady trembled at Huangfu Aohan's words.
Seeing this, Huangfu Aohan's anger instantly subsided considerably.
He spoke in a cold voice, looking at the people below, and said indifferently, "This King now declares that you will not participate in this martial arts marriage selection! This King does not need such a wife!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Father, this..."
"This is too absurd! How can someone like that be our wife?"
"Father, I absolutely do not agree!"
Below, there was a clamor.
"Shut up!"
Huangfu Aohan waved his hand and shouted coldly, "Anyone who speaks another word will be expelled from the academy!"
Below, hearing Huangfu Aohan's warning, everyone immediately shut their mouths, not daring to speak.
"Alright! You may all leave now!"
"Yes, Father!"
Everyone responded in unison.
They all withdrew.
"Father, what should we do now?"
Huangfu Aofeng walked up to Huangfu Aohan and asked softly.
Huangfu Aofeng's tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness and fatigue.
Huangfu Aofeng sighed and silently left Huangfu Aohan's academy.
Huangfu Aohan watched Huangfu Aofeng's retreating figure, his eyes flashing slightly.
After Su Youqing entered the academy with Huangfu Aohan, she made an excuse and left.
After Su Youqing left, she headed towards the back garden of the Huangfu family.
Her steps were swift, attracting the attention of the surrounding students as she passed by.
"Wow, Miss Su is so fast!"
"Miss Su is so cool! I really like her!"
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect her to be so powerful at such a young age!"
"Miss Su is truly beautiful, I want to marry her, what should I do!"
"Oh my, don't even think about it. With your qualifications, how could Miss Su possibly fancy you?"
"You're right!"
""
The surrounding discussions reached Su Youqing's ears.
Hearing their conversation, Su Youqing smiled.
These people were indeed interesting!
Want to marry her?
Hmph, she really had no interest in getting married!
"You're here."
As soon as Su Youqing reached the back garden, she saw Huangfu Aofeng standing there, waving at her.
"Mm."
Su Youqing nodded.
Seeing Su Youqing, Huangfu Aofeng's face broke into a brilliant smile.
Su Youqing couldn't help but frown.
Had this guy taken the wrong medicine?
Why had he suddenly become so enthusiastic?
She clearly remembered that he had hated her moments ago.
"Aofeng."
Su Youqing walked closer to Huangfu Aofeng and called out with a smile.
"Mm, you're here."
Huangfu Aofeng nodded and said with a smile.
