The elders looked like they wanted to say something when they came back from their daze, but the Duanmu Family Head raised his hand to stop them.
Then looking at Duanmu Ming Xue with a serious look, he said, "You are my daughter, that means that you will belong to the Duanmu Family forever. Now, stop playing around."
The way that the Duanmu Family Head said this was as if he was giving her a command.
It was as if he didn't see the situation that he was in at all and thought that he was the one in charge.
One might have thought that he was delusional if they saw him acting like this, but Lin Fan was a bit impressed by him. Lin Fan was impressed by the fact that the Duanmu Family Head was able to keep his calm and think of the only way to survive in this situation.
It would be impossible to invoke feelings of sympathy in Duanmu Ming Xue, that was clear by the look that was on her face.
