"Father, who is that young punk? Does he really deserve what you're doing for him?"
"Liu Qing may not be your biological daughter, but you can't use her in this manner."
"How could you just give her up to a complete stranger?"
An intense argument was taking place in Liu Chuandao's study.
Liu Chuandao simply sat there and sipped his tea calmly. He didn't seem bothered by what his two sons had said to him.
He knew that they weren't genuinely worried for Liu Qing. They were worried for themselves.
"Father, you can't hand Qingshan Sect over to an outsider!" his eldest son, Liu Zong, blurted out when Liu Chuandao kept silent. "What would the elders think? What would the rest of the disciples think?"
"That's right, Father. My brother is right. Qingshan Sect's been around for hundreds of years. We can't let a stranger destroy what we've built."
Liu Chuandao's two sons were wracked with anxiety and fury. But they had to control their emotions in Liu Chuandao's presence. They dared not challenge him openly.
Liu Chuandao didn't say a word. He merely looked up, gave his sons a look, then shook his head slightly.
His message was as clear as day. They weren't allowed to interfere in this matter. Nothing they said was going to change that.
"Father!”
The two young men exchanged a look with each other, then fell to their knees with a loud resounding thud.
"This is an important matter that requires careful deliberation. It concerns the future of the sect. Please reconsider your decision!" Luo Zong and Luo Heng shouted in unison.
"You believe that I made this decision without considering everything carefully, huh." Liu Chuandao placed his teacup down and stared at his sons. "Perhaps you believe that you know better. Maybe you should be the sect leader instead."
The tone of his voice grew frostier as he spoke. He slammed his fist onto the table suddenly, startling Liu Zong and Liu Heng. Their hearts skipped a beat.
"I know exactly what you're thinking!" Liu Chuandao hollered. "You're trying to protect your own interests. Do you really think that I don't know what you're up to? I'm glad that you stopped fighting each other and teamed up to speak to me on this matter. But I'd be a lot happier if you worked in unison to strengthen the sect!"
