1201 Azure Dragon Family's Ambitions

"By the way, is it really okay for you to be here today, Azure?" Zhu Ling suddenly asked her.

"What do you mean?" Azure raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled by her question.

"I mean, I heard there's a banquet going on at your place today to welcome Xi Meili. Shouldn't you be there?"

"Oh, that? Only certain people were invited, and I wasn't one of them. Though, even if I was invited, I wouldn't go to such a banquet. It'll surely be boring, after all." Azure shrugged.

And then she added, "Oh, yeah. I noticed that my family has been acting a little strange recently. I think something big might happen soon, so you should prepare yourselves."

"You don't know what's happening in your family?" Yuan asked her with a curious face.

Azure shook her head, "You probably don't know this but my family is very strict when it comes to sharing information, so only those who have a high position within the family are given information. As for the rest of us, we just live our life doing our own things until it's time for our marriage, which is determined by the family, of course."

Yuan had a weird look on his face as he said, "I don't want to sound rude, but that sounds miserable."

"How dare you!" Guo Xing slammed his fist on the table, causing everything on it to jump.

"Stop it. Yuan is right. We are allowed to do whatever we please for the first few hundred years of our lives, but that is merely giving us a false sense of freedom. Once our future is determined, that is where our freedom— and life ends. Most of us don't want to admit it, but it's a miserable life." Azure had a dispiritied look on her face as she said this, turning the atmosphere awkward and sad.
