Not long after, at the Qin family mansion.
Chu Tianxiao sat down leisurely, blew on a cup of fragrant tea, and said lightly: "This is the case. I wonder if Miss Qin is willing to give up the engagement?"
Next to his seat, a girl dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes said calmly: "Sister Jiaojiao, this marriage... Liu Ling will no longer have any illusions, and please don't have any illusions anymore, and ask your Qin family to let go."
Bang!
As soon as these words were spoken, several elders from the Qin family had bloodshot eyes and their hair stood on end with rage. The teacups in their hands were immediately shattered by the overflowing spiritual energy, and the scalding hot tea splashed everywhere, showing how angry they were.
"Mu Liuling! How dare you come here to cancel the engagement?"
"I misjudged you! I thought you were a reserved and polite woman, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"
"Adding insult to injury! How did Yun'er offend you? Oh, that's right, did she climb up the social ladder..."
These people were obviously the elders of Qin Yun's faction. Qin Yun was so dazzling three years ago. Even though he was a genius, he still had the support of Qin Jiaojiao and his status was still there. He was not alone, but there were not many people around him. Although the other elders were happy to see this happen, they did not dare to say much before the woman sitting firmly on the first seat of the prime minister's chair spoke. They just snorted occasionally to show that Qin Yun deserved to be divorced.
Just at this moment, the woman sitting in the first seat slowly stood up.
But she was wearing a silk dress, her face was so beautiful that it could shame the moon and the flowers, her figure was plump and attractive, and her movements were charming.
This woman is Qin Jiaojiao!
But she opened her beautiful little mouth, pointed it at Mu Liuling, exhaled a faint scent, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "Sister Liuling is so lucky, you must have met a noble person..."
After these words were spoken, several elders of Qin Yun's faction breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that Qin Jiaojiao's attitude had not changed, and she was still supporting Qin Yun as always.
Qin Jiaojiao turned to Chu Tianxiao and said, "Mr. Chu just returned to Tianjue City and he is so nosy? Do your father and mother know about this?"
Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly: "Dad and Mom never ask about my affairs."
Qin Jiaojiao said, "I already know what Master Chu meant, but... marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. Now the head of the family is not here, and even though I am the 'acting head of the family', I am not qualified to ask about this marriage, so... let's wait until our head of the family comes back from Kyoto before discussing this matter."
Chu Tianxiao's smile faded after hearing this. He stood up and said slowly, "Miss Qin seems to have misunderstood..."
"I brought Liu Ling here today to break off the engagement. This is not a request or an inquiry. It is a confirmed fact."
"Whether you agree or disagree, it won't change the outcome... We are just here to tell you."
As soon as these words came out, a layer of frost suddenly covered Qin Jiaojiao's beautiful face, and she said coldly: "Mr. Chu, this is too overbearing!"
Chu Tianxiao smiled: "Bully? It's just retribution. If you think this is bullying, then next... I advise the lady to close her eyes as soon as possible, so as not to faint from anger!"
"What do you want to do?" Qin Jiaojiao's expression changed slightly.
Chu Tianxiao ignored her and took out a batch of document-like things from his arms and spread them on the table.
"These are the terms of the marriage agreement that your Qin family and the Mu family agreed upon. All the details are here. Oh, the Qin family didn't hide it very secretly. I just sent someone to look for it and found it. It seems... you don't take this marriage too seriously."
Hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao's expression suddenly turned grim. Thinking of a certain possibility, her pretty face turned pale.
But after Chu Tianxiao said this, he tore the marriage certificate into pieces, ground some of the pieces into the tea, and then, with a bang, he knocked the teacup to the ground.
Mu Liuling's eyes lit up, and even his breathing seemed to become smoother. He immediately gave Chu Tianxiao a look of gratitude. However, several elders of the Qin family were furious. When had their Qin family ever suffered such an insult
Even Qin Jiaojiao trembled all over!
But that’s not all!
Chu Tianxiao looked at her coldly and clapped his hands. Two burly men immediately appeared outside. They were each carrying a basket of things, and judging from the direction, they were coming out of the inner courtyard of the Qin Mansion!
Qin Jiaojiao's face tensed, but she heard Chu Tianxiao smile and said, "A few years ago, there was a strange thing in Tianjue City. Because a genius was so dazzling, a family did not want a betrothal gift when marrying off their daughter. Instead, they gave gifts. This is a very interesting thing... However, now that the engagement is cancelled, should these things be returned?"
"I'm sure the Mu family will agree with this..."
Chu Tianxiao clapped his hands and shouted coldly: "Carry it away!"
The two burly men responded, picked up the betrothal gifts and left. An elder from Qin Yun's faction was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted, "Stop!"
The elders sitting next to him also showed flashes of anger on their faces, but in a moment, their expressions turned into surprise, and then they lowered their heads silently.
Chu Tianxiao looked at the elder who had made trouble as if he were a fool. He then saw that the two burly men completely ignored the shouting behind them and carried the things away one step at a time.
"Why don't you stop them!" The elder who didn't know the reason was almost mad. He was a direct descendant of Qin Yun, so naturally he was the most nervous about Qin Yun. He knew from just now that Chu Tianxiao had no good intentions in coming here, but he never thought that Chu Tianxiao would use such a ruthless way to help someone break off an engagement!
The marriage certificate was torn up in front of him!
The betrothal gift was forcibly taken away!
Even if it was a cancellation of the engagement, it was too ruthless, too ruthless!
There can't be a more cruel way to break off an engagement! Doesn't he know "leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future"
But Chu Tianxiao picked up another teacup and said calmly, "Want to know why no one stopped them?"
The Qin family elder immediately glared at him, but Chu Tianxiao didn't even look at him. He played with the teacup jokingly and said, "The reason is very simple—their cultivation bases are both at the upper level of Mingyuan, and they are also my personal guards. Now that Qin Chuyang is heading to Kyoto with a group of experts, who here dares to stop them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the troublemaker was choked up, and several elders in the room felt even more ashamed. Qin Jiaojiao, on the other hand, just watched coldly without saying a word. She seemed calm, but the teacup in her hand gradually showed cracks, which also showed that she was by no means calm in her heart.
At this moment, only Mu Liuling trembled all over, and was extremely grateful. She naturally knew that Chu Tianxiao's mode of breaking off the engagement by "not paying but asking for compensation" was undoubtedly helping her vent her anger...
Just at this moment, the person involved, Qin Yun, who had been quiet until then, finally spoke.
This was a young man who was about the same age as Chu Tianxiao, but he had a fierce and cold look in his eyes, was dressed in gray-black cloth, and had a cold and arrogant look.
He stared at Chu Tianxiao and said coldly: "I will remember you."
Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed as he looked at the ring on his hand. His expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking in his heart: Great, there is a glimmer of light, the old man should have woken up, even if he can't play a big role yet, at least he can communicate with his spiritual consciousness!
In this way, the strategy of sowing discord will have a great chance of success!
His mind was turning over a thousand times, but he replied calmly: "Oh?"
Qin Yun said in a cold voice: "I didn't say anything before, not because I wasn't angry, but... I was already extremely angry! So I calmed down instead."
Chu Tianxiao didn't say anything, just looked at him casually.
"Calm down and listen to what you have said so far. Isn't it time for you to listen to me?"
Chu Tianxiao's heart moved slightly, and he guessed what he said, which was a little funny, but there was no smile on his face: "Go ahead."
Qin Yun stared at Chu Tianxiao and said hatefully, "The reason you dared to come and humiliate me today is simply because you are strong and I am weak. If I were still the genius I was back then, or even better, would you still dare to come?"
Chu Tianxiao laughed secretly in his heart, but said, "Please continue."
"Huh..." Qin Yun took a deep breath and said, "I am very weak today, so I have to take the blame. However, I want to give you a piece of advice!"
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!"
"Don't look down on the young because they are poor!"
As soon as he said this, the ring on his right hand flashed a slight light, and his whole aura changed. A domineering aura surged out, like a mad dragon emerging from water, which invisibly brought great pressure to everyone in the audience!
Mu Liuling felt like she was in the center of a whirlpool! She was already a little afraid of Qin Yun, and now she was hit by this domineering aura, and she immediately panicked. It was only when she thought of Chu Tianxiao's previous words that she gritted her teeth and persisted.
"Mu Liuling! You have some potential! The young master has helped you to this point, what about the resolution you just made? Don't embarrass the young master!"
Qin Yun looked at the girl coldly. He admitted that his sensitive self-esteem was indeed hurt the moment the girl walked in. A "slut" whom he had looked down upon was now wearing three treasures of the True Refining Realm, with gorgeous clothes and noble temperament. Any piece of jewelry she took off was worth more than him now...
This made Qin Yun extremely hateful!
Being broken off in front of her, and even breaking off the engagement with her as a lackey... Such contempt and humiliation, Qin Yun was indeed furious to the extreme, otherwise, he would not have been able to roar out with such terrifying domineering aura!
Seeing that Mu Liuling was intimidated by his domineering aura, he couldn't help but smile smugly and snorted, "Bitch! The humiliation you inflicted on me today, I will repay you a hundredfold someday! You must wait!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuling clenched his teeth and was unable to speak.
However... Even if everyone in the field was shocked, there was one person who definitely would not!
"Oh my, the legendary 'Don't bully the poor young man'! It really lives up to its reputation as the ultimate killer move that is a must-have for the loser's destined prince! This kind of kingly aura, when used against a small minions, can scare the opponent to death!"
Chu Tianxiao pondered in his heart, but smiled coldly: What a pity, I had already guessed that you would use this trick!
To put it bluntly, it’s all routine!
Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly as he thought: "Oh? Don't look down on the poor young man. He looks quite impressive. Well..."
When Chu Tianxiao said this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his aura changed, making people feel as if they were falling into ice, and there was undisguised contempt in his eyes!
"Today, I will give you a chance to 'don't bully the poor youngsters'."
As he spoke, Chu Tianxiao had already taken out an object and casually threw it into Qin Yun's hand, with his cold and contemptuous voice falling.
"Come on, prove to me whether you really have the courage to 'don't bully the poor young'!"
With a bang, the domineering aura disappeared without a trace, and the vermilion fruit fell into Qin Yun's hand, causing him to tremble unconsciously.
"Dead tree... Spring fruit?"
Chu Tianxiao smiled: "Oh? You know him? That's convenient, it saves me a lot of trouble."
After a pause, Chu Tianxiao snapped his fingers and said, "Then... let's get started."
"Start... what?" At this moment, Qin Yun was so surprised by the fruit that suddenly appeared in his hand that he was distracted—the Dead Tree Rejuvenating Fruit... It was actually the Dead Tree Rejuvenating Fruit!
Although this small fruit looks inconspicuous, it is extremely precious to Qin Yun!
You know, there is no dead tree rejuvenating fruit available on the market now. Even if there is, it is snatched up by many people. How can it be Qin Yun's turn? And the dead tree rejuvenating fruit is the best among all the spiritual medicines for repairing the soul! And that is exactly the treasure that Qin Yun, the true son of heaven who has just awakened the "grandfather", needs most!
You must know that although this old man is strong, his soul is badly damaged. For him to encounter this fruit of revival is like rain after a long drought, or dry wood meeting a raging fire!
Qin Yun could even feel a hysterical roar coming from the ring.
"The fruit of resurrection of dead trees! It's really the fruit of resurrection of dead trees! Hahaha! God really helps me! Boy, quickly, quickly collect it! Take it after refining it! This thing will be of great benefit to me, quickly, quickly!"
Qin Yun was being attacked from both sides at the moment, and his mind was distracted, so he was unable to understand Chu Tianxiao's incoherent words for a moment.
Fortunately, Chu Tianxiao did not intend to keep it a secret and said directly: "Proof."
"Didn't you say 'Don't despise the poor young'? Then according to your logic, you will definitely not be poor in the future. If that's the case, then you are destroying this fruit!"
"What did you say!" Qin Yun stared at Chu Tianxiao with trembling body, but Chu Tianxiao sneered: "What? Don't you have courage? Or do you have no confidence in yourself? Don't you say 'Don't despise the poor young'? Don't you think you will be successful in the future? Then what is this 'Dead Tree Resurrection Fruit'? You have a promising future, why do you still care about this?"
"Or... are you just a 'poor boy' who swallows his pride and accepts my charity obediently?"
Chu Tianxiao crossed his arms and sneered, "Or maybe your so-called 'don't bully the poor young' is just... just talk?"
