Chapter 15: Annul the Marriage?

Lu Tianyu took off his training robes, changed into a green satin long gown, and headed straight for the reception hall.

Inside the reception hall.

A woman dressed in palace attire was particularly conspicuous.

The woman wore a pale pink palace gown with pale blue butterflies embroidered on the hem, appearing as if they were about to take flight, and was draped in a layer of white light gauze.

She had a beautiful face and a tall figure; her entire being looked ethereal, and her temperament was otherworldly.

The woman was none other than Furong Fairy, Liu Qingyan.

Behind her followed two old women in yellow robes; their expressions were cold and their presence was overbearing.

"Fairy, the Saint Son is currently in seclusion. I have already sent someone to notify him, and I expect he will be out momentarily."

External Affairs Elder Lu Kaiming wore a warm smile as he offered a cup of tea with both hands: "I have prepared the Huangyan Tea unique to the Bahuang Clan; please, Fairy, have a taste!"

Liu Qingyan frowned and did not speak.

Instead, the old woman behind her let out a cold snort: "Seclusion?"

"What kind of seclusion is there when one's cultivation is completely lost? I think he just doesn't want to come out!"

The other old woman directly slapped the teacup away: "What kind of trashy Huangyan Tea is this!"

"It's not even as good as the chrysanthemum tea grown by the old farmers in our Zhuoliu Xingyu!"

"Hurry up and make that brat come out; our time is precious and he cannot afford to waste it!"

Lu Kaiming's expression changed immediately.

However, he still held back and did not lose his temper.

After all, the person who had come was the Saint Son's fiancée; no matter how unhappy he was, he could not cause trouble for the Saint Son.

Just as he crouched down to pick up the shards of the teacup, a familiar, cold voice rang out: "What a grand display!"

Lu Tianyu stepped inside.

After sweeping a glance at the old woman, he looked at Liu Qingyan: "Are you here to annul the marriage?"

He was straightforward and made no attempt to avoid the subject!

In the past, when the marriage proposal was made, there were two old women whose attitude was like slaves serving a master.

They were all smiles, nodding and bowing.

Just now, he had observed from afar using his Divine Sense, and the two old women were filled with disdain and anger.

And Liu Qingyan had also changed from her usual sweet smile to a cold and indifferent expression.

He guessed immediately that Liu Qingyan was here to annul the marriage.

With the old woman casually knocking over the teacup, the fact that Liu Qingyan was here to annul the marriage could basically be confirmed.

Most women, upon hearing the fact that his cultivation was completely lost, would not continue with him.

Let alone someone as proud and profit-oriented as Liu Qingyan.

It was just that in Lu Tianyu's heart, there was still a bit of regret.

After the two got engaged, they traveled to some places in Zhuoliu Xingyu, got along harmoniously, and even made vows of eternal love.

Now, a hundred days had passed, and everything had changed.

Lu Tianyu was, after all, only sixteen years old, and his experience with emotions was a complete blank slate.

Liu Qingyan had appeared at that time, taken the initiative to pursue him, and left him with a period of beautiful memories.

Since things had reached this point, it was time to let go.

Liu Qingyan was slightly stunned before nodding: "You have always been very honest."

"That's right, I am here to annul the marriage."

She scrutinized Lu Tianyu carefully, and upon discovering that there was no fluctuation of Spiritual Power on him, she could not hide the disappointment on her face:

"Actually, I did not want to annul the marriage, but if you had even the slightest hope of recovery, I would not have given up."

"It is just a pity that I fear you will have no hope of recovery in this lifetime."

Her beautiful face carried a hint of pity.

However, her gaze was very firm.

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "There is nothing to pity."

"Whether there is hope of recovery or not, it has nothing to do with you anymore."

He tore the Marriage Contract in two and threw it to Liu Qingyan: "From this moment on, the agreement between you and me is canceled!"

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

"Stop right there!"

But unexpectedly.

A sharp shout rang out from behind: "If the Marriage Contract is to be torn up, it should be us who tear it up! What right do you have to tear it!"

Lu Tianyu turned around slowly, his eyes slightly cold: "No right?"

"What would count as having the right?"

He had wanted to part on good terms and had not held a grudge over the old woman breaking the teacup or the price the Lu family had paid.

He had not expected that after he tore up the Marriage Contract, the old woman would actually get aggressive and say something about him having no right?

That was going a bit too far.

The old woman snorted through her nose: "Apologize, admit that you are unworthy of our Fairy, and voluntarily give it up!"

"Write a statement, sign it, and press your thumbprint!"

They had come this time intending to take back the Marriage Contract and tear up both copies of the marriage agreement in front of Lu Tianyu.

But they had not expected Lu Tianyu to tear it up directly; it was too late to stop him.

This would not do.

Those who don't know the truth might think it was Lu Tianyu who broke off the engagement with Liu Qingyan, which would make people laugh.

After all, when the three of them came to break off the engagement, quite a few sycophants caught wind of it and followed to watch the spectacle.

If that were to spread, wouldn't it ruin the sect's reputation? That is absolutely unacceptable.

Liu Qingyan opened her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.

The old woman spoke the truth; having the Marriage Contract torn up by Lu Tianyu in public was equivalent to a slap in her face, as if she were the one being dumped.

After all, everyone knows that she was the one who actively pursued Lu Tianyu; it was the older sister chasing the younger brother first.

"Hehehe!"

Lu Tianyu was suddenly laughed at by anger: "Aren't you just afraid of people laughing at you?"

"Since we have already broken up, what difference does it make who tears up the marriage engagement?"

"I will give you one more chance; leave here immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Donghuang Clan is currently facing a crisis, and he does not want to add new enemies to the clan at this time.

If it were at any other time, he would have already taken action.

But Lu Tianyu still underestimated the old woman's determination.

Upon hearing this, the old woman was immediately enraged: "Presumptuous!"

"You are nothing but a boy from the Desolate Star Domain who relied on luck to gain a bit of fame; what right do you have to speak to me like that!"

"The fairy must have been blind to be with you in the first place!"

"Kneel down and apologize to me, and do as I say!"

"Otherwise, I will report this to the sect and dispatch experts to annihilate your Donghuang Clan!"

Before coming, she had already inquired clearly that the other Seven Desolate Clans were already restless and would be arriving soon.

Even with Ancestor Changmei presiding, the Donghuang Clan cannot withstand the combined forces of the Seven Desolate Clans and is destined to be carved up and devoured.

The Donghuang Clan absolutely would not dare to anger her at this moment and gain an enemy for no reason.

"Hehehe!"

Lu Tianyu laughed, his eyes instantly turning icy: "Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't leave."

Swish!

He directly took out the Profound Void Mirror.

Lu Kaiming took a step forward to block in front of Lu Tianyu: "Saint Son, let me handle this old hag!"

He had long found the old woman an eyesore.

Having just been rebuffed after trying to be friendly, he was holding back a breath of frustration.

The old woman was stunned: "You, what are you all trying to do!"

She did not expect Lu Tianyu to be so stubborn and not yield in the slightest.

He thought that for the sake of the Donghuang Clan's interests, kneeling to apologize and signing a document would be nothing.

It would be better than having an extra enemy lurking about and losing one's life at any moment.

But she did not expect this kind of result.

Cough, cough, cough!

Liu Qingyan coughed lightly a few times and stepped forward: "Lu Tianyu, there is no need to kneel and apologize."

"As long as you write a statement, we will leave immediately."

She knew that clashing head-on on the Donghuang Clan's territory would result in a loss.

It would be better to get the statement first so that those sycophants would know that Lu Tianyu had finally yielded.

Compared to face, other things were not important.

But unexpectedly.

She saw that murderous intent was actually erupting from Lu Tianyu's eyes.

Lu Tianyu said coldly: "Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me!"
