Chapter 106: To a certain person

And Veronica actually used spiritual energy onto her right palm, Damien actually ended up getting send flying off from his seat by the force that came from Veronica’s right palm and flying into the coffee table before him.

Fortunately for the coffee table, right before Damien was about to land onto the coffee table, Coril quickly enveloped his spiritual sense onto the coffee table and moved the coffee table away.

Thus, in the end, Damien ended up landing onto the floor instead of the coffee table.

Shortly after landing onto the floor, Damien hurriedly stood up, then said angrily while glaring at Veronica, “Veronica! No matter what, I am now currently the family head of the Lisandris Family! As a family member of the Lisandris Family, how dare…”

However, right before Damien was able to finish his sentence, he was cut off by Coril.

“Alright, enough! Have you not caused enough of a scene already?! Sit back down on your seat and remain quiet!” Coril chided at Damien.

Right upon being chided by Coril, seemingly to not be able to believe his ears as to what Coril had just said, when he was evidently the one who was send flying by Veronica…

A shocked look appeared on Damien’s face as he looked over to Coril, then opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.

“But…”

“What?! Are you going to retort me now, huh?! Where are your manners, Coril?! Is this how you are supposed to act toward your elder?! Sit back down on your seat already, I don’t want to hear another word coming out from your mouth until I said you are allowed to!”

Before Damien was even able to say another word, Coril immediately cut Damien off once again.

And right after Coril was done chiding Damien, Coril put on an amicable look on his face as he looked over to Veronica, who had just sat down onto the remaining one-seat couch, then said with a gentle and friendly tone to his voice, “Veronica, don’t pay attention to this brat, this brat didn’t know that you were in the midst of making a sword when I called you over to my house for a meeting.”

Meanwhile, upon hearing what Coril said, Damien, who had sat back onto his seat, couldn’t help but look speechlessly at Coril and thought to himself, “Great Grandpa Coril… couldn’t you have just told us that from the start… If you had told us that from the start, I wouldn’t have said what I just said…”

But in truth, even if Coril had told Damien that, Damien would had still thought that Veronica was purposely making them wait for her.

After all, after Damien had assumed the role of Lisandris Family’s family head, whenever he had held family meetings, the number of times that Veronia had purposely stalled the meetings by making everyone wait for her arrival couldn’t even be counted with two hands.

Although Veronica was feeling a little weirded out by the amicable look that Coril had on his face while looking at her, and Coril’s gentle and friendly tone while speaking to her, Veronica didn’t let it show on her face.

“I apologize, Ancestor Coril. I ended up arriving 10 minutes later than I told you I would arrive because something went wrong while I was heat treating the sword, which caused me to have to spend a bit more time before I’m able to get done with heat treating the sword.

What is it that made you hold this meeting?

Once this meeting is over, I want to return back home and get back to making my sword.

So, let’s get this meeting over with as quickly as possible, should we?”

In truth, Veronica didn’t possess any respect for anyone within the Lisandris Family that was still currently alive, and Coril was no different too.

After all, in Veronica’s eyes, Coril was nothing but a mere coward that ran away from the Lisandris Family right after the Lisandris Family had suffered a huge blow and was at a stage where it needed him the most.

The only reason that Veronica bothered explaining herself was because that Coril possessed a higher cultivation level than her, otherwise, she wouldn’t even bother apologizing and explaining herself to Coril.

The hierarchy system of the Cultivation World was deeply ingrained within everyone’s brain, whereby, the higher cultivation one possesses, the more respectable one would be.

And of course, that was if the cultivator’s cultivation wasn’t gained by extremely despicable methods.

Thus, even though Veronica indeed didn’t possess any respect toward Coril, Veronica still showed the bit of respect that Coril deserves since he possesses a higher cultivation level than her.

Although, in everyone’s eyes, aside from Veronica’s apology and her taking the initiative to explain why she was late, the remaining words that she spoke while speaking to Coril was nothing short of being disrespectful.

Looking at Veronica right now, she could be seen to be dressed in a blacksmith outfit, and was currently sitting down at the couch with both her legs and arms crossed.

Leather boots, leather work gloves, leather apron that was worn over a simple-looking brown shirt, baggy pants, a brown hat worn on her hat, and her hair was tied into a ponytail.

Looking at the slightly dirty state that her blacksmith outfit was currently in, it was evident that Veronica was indeed in the midst of making a sword when Coril used a communication jade to call her and notify her to come over for a meeting at his house with the other golden core realm cultivators.

Seemingly as if he didn’t hear Veronica’s words, Coril shook his right hand at Veronica and said amicably, “It’s fine, it’s fine, there’s no need for you to apologize. After all, I’m the one who is taking up your time by calling for this meeting.”

Right upon speaking up to here, Coril then continued.

“Veronica, the main reason that I called you over for this meeting is because I am thinking of marrying you and your daughter over to a certain person.”
