Hearing Senior Dugu Bo's words, a cold glint flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes. He looked at Yu Tianheng with slight displeasure and slowly said, "Yu Tianheng, I thought your perspective would be better than your uncle Yu Xiaogang's, but I didn't expect you to be birds of a feather! Such a lack of discernment will only lead to self-humiliation."
At this point, his tone suddenly shifted, carrying a hint of mockery.
"Your uncle plagiarized Spirit Hall's data to publish his own work back then. What was the result? He was publicly shamed by Spirit Hall and became a laughingstock. Looking at you now, it's truly a hereditary trait."
"You constantly claim to love Yan Zi, yet now you're using your marriage to her as a bargaining chip to threaten us? I can only say… you're thinking too much."
"Senior Dugu Bo and I will never be threatened by anyone!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Yu Tianheng's face instantly flushed red, his eyes filled with shame and indignation, yet he was firmly suppressed by Tang Chuan's indifferent gaze, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
"Senior Dugu, since that's the case, let's go. Whether the Academy has him or not, it's all the same. He's just a young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; does he really think he's that important?"
Tang Chuan didn't bother to look at Yu Tianheng again. He immediately turned and cupped his hands to Dugu Bo, his tone indifferent yet resolute.
"Hmph! Kid, you're right!"
Dugu Bo's beard bristled when he heard this. He nodded and mocked, "Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianheng, do you really think this old man is blind and can't see through your schemes? You say you like Yan Yan, but in reality, you just want to use Yan Yan to curry favor with this old man."
"Threaten? Do you think having a big Family behind you means you can walk all over this old man?"
"Hmph! This old man has walked the Douluo Continent his entire life; what kind of Genius hasn't he seen? As for juniors like you who throw their weight around, this old man could swat a pile of you to death with one palm!"
Tang Chuan looked at Yu Tianheng's face, which was flushed crimson but dared not make a sound. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile played on his lips as he continued, "Senior Dugu Bo, you're still being too polite."
"His uncle, Yu Xiaogang, relied on plagiarizing others' Martial Soul theories, insisting they were his own achievements. He was exposed, his reputation ruined, and became the world's laughingstock. Now, this kid, relying on the so-called Family name, has learned to use marriage as a threat. Tsk tsk…"
"Truly worthy of being uncle and nephew; one greedy for fame, the other chasing profit. Quite a match, indeed!"
Hearing this, Yu Tianheng's face instantly turned from red to ashen, his eyes almost spitting fire, his chest heaving violently, almost on the verge of cursing out loud.
But under the suppression of Dugu Bo's stern gaze, he could only grit his teeth and remain silent, clenching his fists repeatedly until his knuckles turned slightly white from the exertion.
Dugu Bo snorted, flicked his sleeve, and said with disdain, "Let's go! Why waste words with such an insensible person? This old man finds it dirtying his ears."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and heavily patted Tang Chuan's shoulder, his tone suddenly shifting, carrying a hint of slyness and playfulness, "Besides, my Yan Yan isn't worried about getting married. How could this old man be threatened by Yu Tianheng? Isn't there still you, kid? I'll ask Yan Yan later to see if she's willing to marry you."
"If I had to choose the most suitable grandson-in-law in my heart, it would be you!"
"Among all these juniors, you're the only one I've taken a liking to; you seem a bit more agreeable."
Tang Chuan, whose expression had been stern, suddenly changed when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, taking a half-step back, and hastily refused, "That won't do! Senior Dugu, please don't joke with me. I really can't stand your granddaughter's personality, and besides, there's no emotional foundation between us!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo glared at him, his beard bristling, and he snorted irritably, "What do you mean, you can't stand it? Won't you get used to it? As for feelings? Hmph, how many couples have feelings from the start? Just Cultivate them slowly after marriage, won't you?"
"Senior, let's just drop this joke… I really can't do it." Tang Chuan was speechless for a moment, his forehead faintly sweating, only able to give a dry laugh.
Dugu Bo looked at Tang Chuan's embarrassed expression and threw his head back, laughing heartily.
"Hahaha, aren't you fearless, kid?"
