After saying this, Chu Tianxiao's expression remained unchanged: "Just bring her here."

Ming Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, turned and went inside. Soon, he returned to the room with a girl.

At just one glance, a sentence popped up in Chu Tianxiao's mind: Girls change a lot when they grow up!

The girl in front of him was about sixteen years old, with flowing clothes and long hair. Although her clothes were not gorgeous, they matched her temperament very well and also inadvertently set off her beautiful figure. Her waist was not slender, her thighs were round, her mouth was rosy like a cherry, and her pair of black eyes were full of water, like a pool of sweet spring water, revealing a light and ethereal air.

But at this moment, the beauty's eyes were slightly red, with tears on her face, and she looked like a pear blossom in the rain, which made me feel pity for her.

"Mu Liuling, Qin Yun's fiancée... Oh, thinking back to three years ago, she was still unremarkable in Tianjue City. I didn't expect that in just three short years, she would have such a beautiful appearance. It was beyond my expectation..."

Chu Tianxiao was a little surprised for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Young Master Chu? Is it really you? I... I couldn't believe what Sister Ming Liu said just now... I'm sorry, Liu Ling shouldn't have doubted Young Master Chu..." The girl named Mu Liuling walked into the private room and covered her mouth in surprise the moment she saw Chu Tianxiao.

Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly: "Liuling, I haven't seen you for three years. Are you doing well?"

Mu Liuling was excited: "I..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, his face darkened, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Not so good..."

"I can see that." Chu Tianxiao said calmly, "Did they have a falling out with the Mu family?"

Mu Liuling sighed: "Yes, fortunately Sister Ming Liu took me in, otherwise I don't know if I can hold on until Master Chu comes back..."

As he spoke, a trace of determination flashed across Mu Liuling's face, and then he slowly knelt down in front of Chu Tianxiao: "Master Chu, please, help me!"

Chu Tianxiao turned his gaze to Ming Liu. Ming Liu understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "Sir, you also know that Miss Liu Ling and the one from the Qin family were betrothed since birth."

"That guy... a few years ago, no, he always thought he was the best among men, and he looked down on the Mu family and Liu Ling. A few years ago, he was trying to change Liu Ling's 'wife' to a 'concubine'... He has been useless for the past three years, and he always suspected that Liu Ling was dissatisfied and retaliated, and secretly framed him..."

"So, in the past three years, even with our help, Sister Liu Ling still had a very hard time - Qin Yun came almost every few days in the past three years, causing constant trouble. Ming Liu only said one thing."

"A year ago, the Nineteenth Prince came to visit Tianjue City. In order to obtain a 'Duanxu Pill' that had a slim chance of curing his 'strange disease', Qin Yun actually invited the Nineteenth Prince to come and specifically asked Liu Ling to accompany him to drink in Qingru Tower! And in the Great Zhou Dynasty... who doesn't know that the Nineteenth Prince is a womanizer? If it weren't for the sisters in the tower who saw the opportunity quickly, the consequences for Liu Ling would be disastrous, and his innocence would be even more difficult to maintain..."

"Qin Yun... didn't consider Liu Ling as his fiancée at all, but just a tool that can be abandoned at any time in exchange for benefits... Young Master, please take Liu Ling to the Qin Mansion to cancel this marriage. Even we sisters can't stand what Qin Yun did..."

After the long speech, Ming Liu trembled slightly and sighed. The women around him also showed resentful expressions. Mu Liuling was trembling all over, and his eyes revealed endless resentment and grievance.

Even after hearing these words, a hint of anger flashed in Chu Tianxiao's eyes.

"I've heard rumors of Qin Yun's brutality, but I never thought he would be even more... "

"You are such a scumbag! Yes, you are the prince charming, you are destined to be awesome, but you are good at bullying women? She didn't hurt you or harm you, but you are making such a fuss over a false accusation? Do you really think that the girl owes you something?"

"I originally thought that using that plan to cancel the engagement was a bit too much, but now it seems... you deserve it! Since you don't care about your fiancée at all, don't blame others for stepping hard on your self-esteem! Are the officials allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Chu Tianxiao has lived two lives, and the education he received has made him gentle towards girls in his bones. Besides, Mu Liuling in his memories was kind, amiable, and generous, just like a girl next door. Why should she be abused by the tyrant Qin Yun

Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath and said, "Liuling, I know why you came... The Mu family doesn't agree to cancel the engagement?"

Mu Liuling's face darkened. "Yes, because Qin Jiaojiao... this woman of unknown origin seems to like Qin Yun very much. Even though he is crippled, her position has not wavered at all... She is now the most favored daughter of the Qin family and the 'acting head of the family'. She stands on Qin Yun's side. How can the elders of my family agree to cancel the engagement?"

"Because of this matter, I have broken off with the Mu family..."

Mu Liuling's eyes were dim, but he was determined: "More than ten years of grievances, and a marriage contract with someone I didn't like... I endured all of this for the sake of my family's kindness in raising me! But the incident a year ago, I was almost sold out by Qin Yun, and my family actually advised me to endure it, and even advised me to flatter Qin Yun, and made up a far-fetched story that it was a misunderstanding..."

"Liu Ling, we have reached the point of no return and no endurance! Moreover, over the years, thanks to Liu Ling's status, our family has received a lot of financial support from the Qin family."

"Liuling has repaid the favor!"

"I don't owe them anything!"

"As for that Qin Yun..."

Mu Liuling took a deep breath: "From the moment he asked me to accompany him drinking in public... he has been my mortal enemy. From that moment on, I have been thinking about canceling my engagement with him all the time! I hate the identity of this 'fiancée'!"

Chu Tianxiao looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Even if... this person is blessed with luck and is the true son of heaven, and in the near future he will stir up a storm in the vast land of China, make a career, and even become the king and dominate the world... wouldn't you be willing to get close to him and share his glory?"

Hearing this, Mu Liuling slightly narrowed his gaze and said calmly, "I don't want to. Liuling sees through this person."

"All he needs is a tool, but Liu Ling... wants to be a human being."

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a look of appreciation.

Originally, he just wanted to use Mu Liuling's identity as his "fiancée" to complete his mission, and had no intention of investigating further. However, after talking with her, Chu Tianxiao discovered that many of this girl's ideas were quite similar to his own, and that she did have some shining points...

This gave Chu Tianxiao a deeper plan. Since they met by chance and were destined to meet, why not... give her a chance

Of course, the most important thing was the cold voice that suddenly rang in his ears—"Confirmed target, meets the conditions."

Chu Tianxiao took out a crystal card from his pocket, spun it between his fingertips, and said, "Okay, Liu Ling, three years ago I promised you that I would help you cancel this marriage, and I will never regret it... But, you must know that there is nothing in this world that can be obtained without paying a price..."

Mu Liuling's face lit up: "What does Master Chu want me to do?"

Chu Tianxiao said calmly: "I just happen to be in need of a lackey who can take care of things... Are you willing?"

After saying this, Mu Liuling was obviously stunned for a moment, revealing a bewildered expression...
