As the system's voice faded, Mu Zian felt an unbearable heat throughout his body, as if his blood was boiling.
A loud popping sound, like frying soybeans, reached Mu Zian's ears, and in the next instant, he felt his whole body filled with power.
A punch with the force of ten thousand jin is like being hit head-on by an elephant; its power is unimaginable.
Just as Lu An was feeling the surging power within his body, Lu Yunxue's icy voice rang out.
"Mu Zi'an, if you apologize to me now, I might forgive you out of consideration for our past relationship. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Hearing this, Mu Zian found it hilarious.
"Who do you think you are? In my eyes, you're not even worth a fart."
After saying that, Lu An turned to leave, eager to feel the power he had just gained.
"Wait!"
Breaking off the engagement with Mu Zi'an was something Lu Yunxue desperately wanted.
But not in this way. If this matter gets out, how can I remain a role model for women everywhere?
"What will others think of her?" Lu Yunxue said coldly.
"Mu Zi'an, I can agree to dissolve the engagement with you! But at the triumphant banquet two days later, you must announce to the world that you took the initiative to dissolve it, and that I, Lu Yunxue, am ungrateful."
"At that time, I will use my military merits from the past three years to request an imperial decree from His Majesty to grant my love to Pei Lang."
Mu Zian left without looking back, scoffing at Lu Yunxue's words.
Wanting to be a prostitute while also wanting to maintain a virtuous image? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Just then, the system's voice sounded again.
"Ding-dong! A choice has been triggered!"
"Option 1: Refuse Lu Yunxue's request and leave her, cutting all ties. Reward: 5,000 taels of silver."
"Option 2: Agree to Lu Yunxue's request, attend the banquet openly to expose her hypocrisy, reward: a Fangtian Halberd, plus the Overlord Halberd Technique."
"Please make a decision, host."
Any hesitation would be the most disrespectful thing to the Fangtian Halberd!
Lu An paused, then said coldly.
"Very well! Two days from now! At the victory celebration banquet, I, Mu Zi'an, will personally announce to the world that I voluntarily gave up the engagement!"
"But remember this! From today onwards, we are severing all ties! We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
After saying that, Mu Zian turned and left, leaving her with a proud and aloof back view.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, on making your decision!"
"The halberds have been distributed!"
"The Overlord Halberd Technique has been issued!"
Mu Zian's voice echoed in the air above the Women's Palace, lingering for a long time.
Lu Yunxue, riding on horseback, watched Mu Zian's disappearing figure with some surprise in her heart.
The victory celebration banquet will be attended by all the princes and nobles of the entire Dali Kingdom, and more importantly, His Majesty will also be present.
Even if Lu Yunxue gave Mu Zian a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense at the victory celebration banquet.
With this thought in mind, Lu Yunxue felt a sense of peace.
"Hmph! Your temper has only gotten worse in three years. You'll regret this in two days! I'll show everyone just how ridiculous your fragile pride really is!"
......
As soon as Lu An returned to his courtyard, he immediately closed the door.
Then walk to the center of the courtyard, where there is a huge tree that is as thick as three people can hug.
Lu An took a deep breath, then clenched his fist and roared as he blasted towards the towering tree in front of him!
The next moment, a loud bang was heard!
This towering tree was snapped in half by Lu An's punch!
Amidst the swirling dust, Lu An's face was beaming with an unstoppable smile.
Immediately, Mu Zian summoned the Fangtian Halberd from the system space.
The halberd was as black as ink, radiating an endless cold light under the sunlight.
The Overlord Halberd Technique was imprinted in Mu Zi'an's mind the moment he touched the halberd.
Mu Zi'an gripped the halberd and swung it around in the courtyard, creating a spectacular sight of flying sand and stones!
After a short while, Mu Zian finished performing a set of halberd techniques. He was covered in sweat, but his eyes were shining.
With this domineering halberd technique and his immense strength, where in the world can't he go?
However, Lu An has more important things to do right now.
Since Mu Zian can elevate Lu Yunxue to such a high position, he can also drag her down from that height!
With this thought in mind, Mu Zian turned and went into the room.
Since Lu Zian gave up inheriting the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, he naturally could not live in the mansion.
This courtyard served two purposes: providing a place to live and allowing for better monitoring of the construction progress of the Heroine's Residence.
Now that he and Lu Yunxue had severed all ties, there was no point in continuing to live here and make himself miserable.
Inside the side room, Lu An pulled a wooden box out from under the bed.
This was the only thing he brought out of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Inside the wooden crates, a set of Suanni armor, gleaming with a cold light, was neatly arranged.
According to the laws of the Great Li, anyone who secretly possesses armor shall be punished as a traitor.
However, there was one person in the entire Dali who could disregard this law and openly hide his armor at home.
This person was none other than Mu Zian's father, Mu Zhanying, the First-Class Duke of Dali.
There was no other reason than the special permission granted by the emperor: armor could be kept at home, swords and shoes could be worn in the palace, one could enter the court without bowing, and one could not be named when being praised.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu An immediately donned his armor and then walked out of the courtyard toward the palace.
At the gates of the Dali Imperial Palace, the guards saw Mu Zi'an in full armor and opened the palace gates without questioning him.
