Chapter 16: Do Not Bully a Poor Girl

Heng Xian looked at the Xue family, his face sincere, and said, "I'm not good with words; if I do something wrong, you damn folks can come beat me, okay?"

"Ugh!" The whole house of Xue family members wore bewildered expressions.

What kind of speech is that?

Heng De coughed and said, "My son has had this temperament since childhood!"

Xue Zhengnian's mouth twitched; he glanced at the gifts and coldly said, "If my guess is correct, you father and son have come to set the marriage date early, haven't you?"

"Since you're here to propose, whatever your temperament, it must be changed; you don't understand even this basic social etiquette?"

Heng De was stunned for a moment.

Madam Xue said evenly, "Don't blame us for being straightforward; to be honest, we aren't very satisfied with you, young master!"

Temperament aside.

In this world, everything is judged by cultivation; although the Heng family is large and powerful, the fact that he cannot cultivate is indisputable.

And our family's daughter must have beauty and talent; even finding a disciple from the five great families who can cultivate is no difficulty!

"Therefore, marrying our daughter to someone who cannot cultivate is a huge loss!" Xue Hao said slowly, "If you wish to set a marriage date, the Heng family must pay a certain price.

You cannot, like you father and son, casually bring small gifts and expect to set the marriage date!"

An elder of the Xue family coughed, "The words may be blunt but the reasoning is sound; although the Heng family is powerful, this matter is not decided by strength.

You father and son came here early this morning, carrying a few small gift packets, which is overly tacky,

and your son is so lacking in manners; truly, it's extremely rude!"

In the main hall, a group of people chattered, and behind the huge screen on the side, a group of Xue family youths and girls arrived.

Xue Jiaoer was also among them, a thick white cloth wrapped around her left hand, with faint streaks of blood seeping out.

A youth beside them whispered, "I know this kid; he's a total waste, his character is abysmal, Jiaoer absolutely cannot marry him!"

"Exactly!" a group of youths echoed.

A girl blinked, "But he's very handsome; look at his high, straight nose, beautiful eyes, his eyelashes are longer than mine."

"His skin is also very fair, his posture is upright like a sword."

"Indeed," another girl with bright eyes said, "He's truly a very handsome little shota."

"You…" a group of Xue youths fumed.

Xue Jiaoer was also watching Heng Xian.

She had secretly watched Heng Xian twice before, but for some reason felt that the Heng Xian before her eyes seemed like a different person.

Before, his face was full of cynicism and jokes, which looked very annoying.

Now he sits quietly, with a handsome appearance, a gentle elegance, and… quite attractive.

If only he could cultivate, how wonderful that would be!

Unfortunately, he's a pretty face but useless waste!

I, Xue Jiaoer, am destined to marry a celestial prodigy who can cultivate.

Waste? Absolutely not!

Inside the main hall.

Lord Xue Zhengnian served tea to the guests and said, "Therefore, we see no sincerity from the Heng family; please leave!"

A group of Xue elders immediately stood up.

Bang!

Heng De suddenly slapped the table, "This damn nonsense, how could this be? Shall I piss all over you?"

"Huh?" the Xue family members were a bit stunned.

Xue Zhengnian, with a cold face, said, "Heng De, what kind of attitude is this?"

Heng Xian patted his angry father, rose, walked to the center of the hall, and said, "I think you may have misunderstood; we are here to break off the marriage today!"

"What did you say?!"

"Break off the marriage?"

The Xue family members all stood up, their faces unable to believe it.

The Heng family is now besieged on all sides; the worthless heir sought our family's genius daughter, and not only did he enjoy it, he even dares to break off the marriage?!

"Exactly!" Heng De immediately produced the marriage contract, slapped it onto the table, "We brought gifts so as not to make things look ugly; you lack any sense of propriety. Return my son's marriage contract; this marriage is called off!"

The Xue family members' faces instantly turned extremely displeased.

They had been maintaining their stance for a while, only to have the other party proactively break off the marriage—how embarrassing!

Xue Zhengnian, with a composed face, asked, "Reason?"

Heng Xian chuckled lightly, "I think your daughter is not worthy of me!"

"Not worthy of me? Are you crazy?"

"You kid was born unable to cultivate; to put it bluntly, you're a waste. For a Xue daughter to be matched with you would be your great luck!"

The Xue family members were completely outraged.

Xue Hao, especially, was furious, spitting saliva everywhere.

Xue Jiaoer also rushed out, her face flushed red, angrily staring at Heng Xian: "How dare you come to me to break off the marriage? Do you have the face to do that?"

"You don't even piss on yourself to look in the mirror! Which part of me, Xue Jiaoer, is not worthy of you?"

"Clearly, it's you who doesn't match me; what do you have? Just that face?"

Heng Xian said calmly, "By face? You're not even fit to fetch my shoes!"

"You…" the Xue family members grew even more outraged.

"Hiss!" Xue Jiaoer even drew her short blade, "Today, one of us must die!"

"Snort!" Xue Jiaoer even drew her short blade, "Today, one of us must die!"

Heng Xian cleared his throat lightly: "Since the Xue family people are so agitated, Ling Feng, gather the Heng family youths,

carelessly wipe out the Xue family, and let them calm down!"

"Yes!" Ling Feng strode out.

"Eh?" The Xue family people fell silent instantly.

The Heng family youths plus retainers total over 20,000, while the Xue family, top to bottom, adds up to just over 700!

There's absolutely no comparability!

"Wait, we… agreed!" Xue Zhengnian, the old master, turned pale, and hurriedly took out Heng Xian's marriage contract from beside him and handed it over.

Heng De took it, confirmed it was correct, grabbed his son, and turned to leave.

Who knew Heng Xian didn't move, and continued: "Moreover, the Xue family must compensate me 50,000 for spiritual damage!"

"Spiritual… damage fee?" The Xue family people looked bewildered.

Xue Jiao'er glared even more angrily, eyes wide.

Although they didn't understand what "spiritual damage fee" meant, it was clearly a demand for money.

Heng De felt embarrassed, gently patted his son and asked, "Did it pass?"

Heng Xian sneered, pointing at Xue Jiao'er: "Xue Jiao'er publicly defames me outside, and also has an unclear attitude toward the Li family's young master, shaming my face.

Just now the Xue family berated me again; my spirit is badly hurt, at least 50,000!"

"What face could you have?" The Xue family members' eyes seemed to split.

You bastard, Ye Yu Shiba's woman, buying all the city's seven-aperture grass for my concubine's bath, and you still have the nerve to speak?

Heng Xian waved his hand: "Ling Feng, why are you still dazed? Gather 8,000 Heng family youths and eradicate the Xue family!"

"No! I'll give!" Xue Zhengnian, the old master, gritted his teeth.

I've never seen a bachelor bully people like this! Who knows if that's what the Heng family meant?

"Wait!" Several Xue family elders, faces full of humiliation, ran to the back residence and quickly brought over five boxes of low‑grade spirit crystals.

Heng Xian, satisfied, let the retainers move the spirit crystals, then patted his stunned father and said, "Go home!"

"Heng Xian! Today's humiliation, I will repay tenfold in the future!"

Xue Jiao'er watched the departing Heng family father and son, hatred raging, "Do not bully a poor girl! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, I, Xue Jiao'er, swear,

Three years later, I will definitely trample you and your Heng family underfoot, and ravage you indiscriminately!"

Heng Xian didn't even turn his head: "Idiot! You've read too many novels, huh? I'll wipe you out in a minute!"

"Ugh…" Xue Jiao'er's tears streamed down.

The Xue family people were also quite angry.

Xue Zhengnian, the old master, took a deep breath again: "I never intended to form a marriage alliance with the Heng family!

Let them go wild, the Heng family won't last long!

Half a month later, the annual Alchemical Medicine Conference was held, with the Heng family as the main venue.

The Three major families will surely wipe out the Heng family's prestige!

Three months later, the triennial Dong Lan Martial Arts Gathering took place, again with the Heng family as the main venue!

The younger generation of the Heng family is completely no match for Yè Jiā, Xiao family, and Li family!

Then the Heng family's face will be lost again, and at least half of the retainers will leave!

That will be the day the whole city exterminates the Heng family; today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!
