"Thank you for your appreciation, Superior Lord!" Huayu Ting bowed deeply three times in succession.
On the last bow, as he lowered his body, an uncontrollable sneer briefly appeared on his face as it faced the floor, vanishing as quickly as it came.
Huayu Ting had calculated his moves precisely; he knew his own worth, understood what he meant to the family, and was aware of the elders' dissatisfaction with the old Patriarch.
It was precisely because of this that he dared to commit such an outrageous act, unafraid of any repercussions.
When he took action, he was furious, but after the deed, he appeared calmer than anyone else.
"Has your cultivation made any progress?" one of the elders even asked with concern.
"In response to the Superior Lord's question, the shackles have loosened somewhat. Given time, I should be able to make a breakthrough soon," Huayu Ting answered earnestly.
