"Hmph." Seeing Chen Yang's lack of reaction, Chen Xiao waved to the crowd. "He is, after all, a member of my Chen Family. For my sake, don't speak so harshly."
His pretense of persuasion was completely undisguised.
"Hmph! He's nothing but a stray dog, yet he dares to insult our royal families without restraint. If it weren't for Mr. Chen's sake, I, Li Chenyang, would be the first to teach you some manners."
Li Chenyang stared arrogantly at Chen Yang, rebuking him with an air of self-righteousness.
Chen Xiao turned his gaze back to Chen Yang. "Since you also bear the Chen surname, your unrestrained and willful conduct today has brought nothing but shame to the Chen Family."
"But as things stand, I won't say more. Just listen to me. Kneel on the ground and beg Tang Tai and Young Master Tang Yunxing for forgiveness. Otherwise..."
A summer breeze washed over them, carrying a wave of heat that stirred the red tassel on Chen Yang's long spear.
