The Ming Dynasty, Qingzhou, Desolate City

Today is the auspicious day of the engagement between Chen Tianwen, the young master of the Chen family, and the eldest daughter of the Xu family. The Chen family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and guests are numerous.

In the courtyard, Chen Tianwen, dressed in a festive red robe, was playing with a jade pendant he had just picked up, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Young Master, your fiancée Xu Xinrou will be here soon. I heard she's also bringing disciples from the Divine Sword Sect as guests!"

The servant boy ran over excitedly, his face beaming with joy.

Divine Sword Sect!

One of the top forces that dominate Qingzhou, a supreme sect.

Chen Tianwen's expression turned solemn.

The Chen and Xu families have long been known as the two great families of the desolate city because they have Foundation Establishment cultivators in their ranks.

But in front of the Divine Sword Sect, they are not even ants.

Any elder of the Divine Sword Sect possesses strength above the Golden Core stage and could easily annihilate the Chen family.

Fortunately, his fiancée, Xu Xinrou, was selected as a core disciple by ranking first in the Divine Sword Sect during the trials a few days ago!

It instantly became the focus of the entire Qingzhou!

The Xu family soared to prominence, surpassing the Chen family to become the number one family in the desolate city!

Chen Tianwen's ability to have such a fiancée is truly a case of a chicken climbing onto a phoenix!

"I've heard that core disciples can bring a servant into the Divine Sword Sect; it's something to be envied!"

The servants of the Chen family were talking about how being able to work as a servant in the Divine Sword Sect would be something they could brag about for the rest of their lives!

"Miss Xu Xinrou has arrived!"

A luxurious carriage slowly drove into the Chen family's gate.

From above, a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress walked out with calm eyes.

Behind him stood a white-robed man carrying a long sword, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a handsome and dashing air.

The white-robed man, with a cold and aloof demeanor, followed behind Xu Xinrou expressionlessly, without uttering a word, like a sharp blade ready to be drawn at any moment, its edge menacing!

"That must be a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, right? His cultivation is extraordinary. Just one glance at his sword makes my eyes sting!" Elder Chen said tremblingly.

The Divine Sword Sect is a super power that the Chen family absolutely cannot afford to offend!

"Tianwen, come out now! Xinrou is here!" Chen Xiaogu, the head of the Chen family, shouted into the courtyard.

He looked excited and kept sizing up Xu Xinrou.

He was clearly very satisfied with his future daughter-in-law!

Quickly putting away the jade pendant in his hand, Chen Tianwen strode towards the courtyard gate.

Although he was engaged to Xu Xinrou, he had never even met his genius fiancée.

Stepping outside, one sees a beautiful figure standing there, with pearly white teeth and red lips, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, and the red veil behind her dress fluttering in the wind, like a red orchid blooming under the blazing sun, or a lotus dancing in the wind.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Chen Tianwen's eyes lit up, very satisfied.

This beautiful and talented woman is actually his fiancée.

Dad has such good taste!

"Xinrou, the banquet is ready. Let's take our seats!" The head of the Chen family bowed and gestured for them to sit down.

However, Xu Xinrou remained unmoved.

Her gaze remained calm. After glancing indifferently at Chen Tianwen, she said, "I will be heading to the sect with Senior Brother Xing soon. I have come here to select a servant from the Chen family to accompany me. After all, the Chen family is engaged to me, and such a good thing should naturally fall into your Chen family's hands!"

Upon hearing this, the servants of the Chen family immediately erupted in excitement.

That's the Divine Sword Sect!

Even cleaning toilets at the Divine Sword Sect!

It's ten thousand times better than being in the mortal world!

They rushed forward and knelt before Xu Xinrou, their expressions filled with emotion.

"Miss Xu, look at me! I can do all the dirty and hard work!"

"Fairy Xu, choose me! I am skilled in ventriloquism and have studied storytelling. I can tell you stories to relieve your boredom in my spare time!"

The servants were excited; entering the Divine Sword Sect was something they, as lowly servants, would never even dare to dream of!

"Young Master, you are Miss Xu Xinrou's fiancé, please let Miss Xu choose me!" At this moment, Chen Tianwen's personal servant approached him, preparing to use Chen Tianwen's connections to persuade him.

Chen Tianwen was quite generous and said directly to Xu Xinrou, "Miss Xu, this servant of mine is very diligent in everything he does. If you are going to the Divine Sword Sect, it will definitely be a good idea to take him with you."

Xu Xinrou looked at Chen Tianwen.

Just when everyone thought Chen Tianwen's servant was going to be elected, Xu Xinrou suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"Chen Tianwen, I want you to be my servant. Come with me to the Divine Sword Sect, be branded a slave, and be my slave for eternity!"

Xu Xinrou actually wants the young master of the Chen family to be her servant?!

These words struck like a thunderbolt, and the entire room fell silent.

"Niece Xinrou, what are you saying?" The Chen family head's face immediately darkened!

"presumptuous!"

The young man in white robes suddenly snorted coldly, and the sword case on his back trembled slightly.

An incomparably powerful sword intent, like lightning, swept towards Chen Xiaogu.

Chen Xiaogu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn't even defend himself and was swept away by the sword intent!

boom!

With a loud crash, Chen Xiaogu slammed into a long pillar and coughed up blood!

"This is the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, one of the three great sword techniques of the Divine Sword Sect. It requires a genius swordsman to practice for countless springs and autumns before one can even achieve a minor level of mastery. This young man is also a core disciple of the Divine Sword Sect!"

The Chen family elder exclaimed in surprise, and everyone retreated in an instant.

It was a mixture of shock and indignation!

"Xu Xinrou, what are you doing?!"

When Chen Tianwen saw his father being beaten, he immediately stepped forward to question him.

As a result, the long sword on the back of the white-robed youth trembled once again.

The overwhelming sword intent pressed down like a tidal wave, and Chen Tianwen lost his balance and fell directly onto the open ground in front of Xu Xinrou.
