**Chapter 397: Shameless**
Zhao Ling replied to Tang Xiao and the others with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Anyway, I've already sent the invitations. Whether you come or not is up to you. Zhao didn't beg you to come. To be honest, if I weren't worried about Yue'er getting sad, I wouldn't care if you guys died."
After finishing his sarcasm, he turned his gaze to Yu Yuanzhen, not far away, and grinned.
"Isn't this Thunder Douluo? Why did you come to the Clear Sky Sect? What's wrong? Isn't it nice to stay at home? Is it more interesting to be someone else's dog?"
When Yu Yuanzhen heard these words, his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. How could he still have a family? He had been bullied by this guy three times in a row. The last time, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had been killed or injured. Those small families that originally depended on them had all fled, and now only a few dozen people were left in the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
But this guy still looks so confused. How shameless—extremely shameless.
Yu Yuanzhen's teeth were clattering, and he squeezed out a few words between his teeth.
"My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Humph..."
Zhao Ling grinned, a naughty expression on his face.
"How can it be irrelevant? Let me put it this way: one of Mr. Zhao's brides has the blood of your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. To be precise, she is your second brother's illegitimate daughter, but she has severed the father-daughter relationship with your second brother. Therefore, Zhao will not send an invitation to your family. Hehe."
Zhao Ling chuckled, and his figure mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
But at this moment, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were as big as copper bells. What did Zhao Ling just say? It seems he just claimed that one of the people he's marrying has the bloodline of their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and is also the illegitimate daughter of his second brother? How is this possible? My second brother never told me he had an illegitimate daughter!
Yu Yuanzhen could no longer sit still. He immediately rushed out of the meeting hall, hurriedly found his second brother, and questioned him harshly.
"Second brother, are you hiding something from me?"
When Yu Luoman heard Yu Yuanzhen's question, his heart skipped a beat, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he pretended to be confused.
"Brother, what do you mean? How could I possibly hide anything from you? How could I..."
"Hmph! You still want to hide it from me?" Yu Yuanzhen snorted in dissatisfaction before Yu Luoman could finish speaking. "I heard that you have an illegitimate daughter. Although you two have severed the father-daughter relationship, she is still considered your daughter..."
When Yu Luoman heard this, his pupils immediately shrank. He knew this matter couldn't be concealed any longer, so he nodded.
"That's right, big brother, I do have an illegitimate daughter, and she has been involved with that beast Zhao Ling without telling me. But, brother, you have to believe me; I have always been absolutely loyal to the family. I have never betrayed my family because of my daughter's relationship with that Zhao man."
Seeing that Yu Luoman finally admitted it, Yu Yuanzhen nodded.
"Of course, I know this. But you should have told me this earlier. Perhaps if we had known this sooner, we could have used your daughter to resolve the conflict with the Demon Suppression Douluo, and we wouldn't be in such a passive position now."
He sighed heavily.
"Alas, it's too late to say anything now. My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has reached a life-and-death struggle with Zhao Ling. In the future, either Zhao Ling dies, or our family is completely wiped out in the long river of history..."
When Yu Luoman heard what his elder brother said, he vaguely felt that his brother was blaming him for not explaining this earlier. But he thought that even if he had told his elder brother, it would have been of no use.
As early as before, when his nephew Yu Xiaogang had a conflict with Zhao Ling, their family had sent people to cause trouble for Zhao Ling without inquiry. Then his nephew Yu Xiaolong was beaten into a fool by Zhao Ling, and his life unraveled from there. All of this has driven the conflict between the two sides to an irreconcilable point.
There was no way Zhao Ling would completely give up this deep-seated grudge just for the sake of his daughter. What's more, it was highly suspected that Zhao Ling had traveled back in time from the distant future. His purpose was to seek revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and the Haotian Sect. How could he ignore the blood feud between them for the sake of his daughter?
"Brother, have you forgotten what Sect Master Tang Xiao and that kid Tang San said? That Zhao Ling came here for revenge? Even my daughter is just Zhao Ling's means of revenge against our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Even if we want to rely on my daughter to bring us closer together, it is absolutely impossible.
Besides, my daughter has hated me since she was little; otherwise, she wouldn't have easily severed the father-daughter relationship."
Yu Luoman sighed softly, sadness in his eyes.
After hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen nodded in agreement and silently blocked the niece he had never met from his heart. In Yu Yuanzhen's opinion, this niece possessed the bloodline of their glorious Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Even if she didn't recognize her ancestral roots, she should still be willing to sacrifice for her family.
But look at this niece. She resolutely severed the father-daughter relationship with her father for a man and showed no awareness of safeguarding the family's interests at all.
Yu Yuanzhen felt it was better not to have such a niece. That niece is fit only to fool around with wild men outside and is not worthy of being a member of the glorious Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
But... he thought about it and felt that his niece seemed a little better than Tang Yuehua, the eldest daughter of the Haotian Sect. After all, this niece hadn't traced her ancestry back to her roots; she just had the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Look at Tang Yuehua again. She is a legitimate descendant of the Haotian Sect, yet she still regards a thief as her husband. Haha.
While the two brothers were talking, the Sixth Elder's angry voice was heard in the meeting hall.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! I was wondering why Yuehua was always outside. She hasn't been back to the sect for so many years, and it turns out she is involved with Zhao Ling."
"Humph, how shameless! She is the biological daughter of the former sect master and the biological sister of the current sect master. She secretly married Zhao Ling—how shameless! He is simply scum of the family!!!"
The Fourth Elder also started cursing angrily.
"Tang Xiao! Look at your sister! She is bringing shame to our sect. Tell me what we should do! Your sister's spirit is useless, but she actually did something that brings shame to the sect."
The Third Elder also snorted coldly and looked at the sect leader Tang Xiao, who had a livid face. The other elders also turned their eyes to Tang Xiao, filling him with tremendous pressure.
