"Madam Zhuang!"
"Please calm down."
Elder Qingwei seemed very afraid of Zhuang Yue'e, and quickly stepped forward to block Zhu Xufeng.
The Qin family members present were all filled with anger, and it seemed they were about to attack the Tianhuo Sect members.
But then I thought about it again.
That's the Heavenly Fire Sect!
The largest clan that nearly unified the Eastern Wilderness.
“Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I am but a woman, and I should not be in charge of the Qin family’s affairs. However, I have never forgotten the entrustment my late husband made to me.”
Zhuang Yue'e stood with her hands behind her back, her voice indifferent.
"The Heavenly Fire Sect has come to annul the engagement today. Is this not an attempt to cut off the young girl's future?"
"To put it mildly, she may never be able to face anyone for the rest of her life; that's her fate, and she can't blame anyone else."
"On a grander scale, the Qin family will be disgraced because of this annulment of the engagement. My daughter is a small matter, but the reputation of the Qin family is of utmost importance. What reason could you possibly have for disregarding the spirit of the contract and coming here to humiliate the Qin family?"
Her voice was icy cold, sending chills down one's spine while conveying a palpable rage within her tone.
Zhu Xufeng bowed again, presenting the top-grade immortal stone with both hands, and said, "Auntie..."
“Young Master Zhu, I, the clan leader, am not worthy of being called Aunt. Please do not speak so presumptuously.”
Zhuang Yue'e coldly interrupted him.
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Xufeng's eyes as he said, "Clan Chief Qin, how about we accept this top-grade immortal stone as compensation for today's events?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yue'e smiled, and her smile made everyone in the room pale in comparison; she was the epitome of beauty.
For the sake of the Qin family's reputation and survival, she was only doing this out of respect for her deceased husband, even though this immortal stone could greatly increase her strength.
But it trampled on her husband's dignity, so what use is it to her?
Back then, the Heavenly Fire Sect Master and her husband jointly signed a marriage certificate, witnessed by both major powers, and known to all the people of the Great Wilderness City.
Now, they've come to annul the engagement?
Whose face are we slapping?
They beat her husband, they beat the Qin family members!
"Young Master Zhu!"
At this moment.
Qin Xiaoxiao, who had been standing far to the side, approached Zhu Xufeng with a cold expression and said, "Please leave. This marriage agreement must stand."
She felt very sad.
She desperately wanted to throw that marriage certificate in his face.
Because no one in the world would be so pathetic as to keep pestering someone even after hearing that they don't like them.
Of course, simps are an exception; simps... are really awesome too.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao is definitely not a simp.
As for why she said the marriage contract must be valid?
That's because of her parents, and the reputation of the entire Qin family!
Once this matter gets out, the entire Qin family will become a laughing stock, and her deceased father will become the subject of gossip.
As his daughter, the daughter he had always doted on, Qin Xiaoxiao was only making a small sacrifice for him today, many years after his death.
That's right.
She's not good enough for Zhu Xufeng!
who is he?
The young sect master of the Heavenly Fire Sect!
Who am I?
The infamous good-for-nothing eldest daughter of the Qin family.
hehe.
In the end, it was all wishful thinking on her part.
But it will never happen again.
At this moment, Zhu Xufeng seemed to have reached his limit and said, "Qin Xiaoxiao, can you be a little more rational?"
"We're not even from the same world, why do we have to be tied together?"
"Yes, I'm here to annul the engagement, which has made your Qin family feel very embarrassed. But this is a top-grade immortal stone. If it weren't for... if it weren't for my father's insistence on giving it to your Qin family, do you think you would be qualified to receive something like this?"
"Qin Xiaoxiao, please let me go. I'm about to be married to the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. We're a perfect match, you know that?"
Upon hearing this...
Zhuang Yue'e's aura grew increasingly powerful; she was furious beyond measure. This was not only an insult to Qin Xiaoxiao, but also an insult to the entire Qin family!
Qin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Things have come to this point, and no matter how I try to salvage the situation, it will be in vain."
"What should we do? What should we do?"
She was very anxious.
"How about I give him a marriage certificate and declare that I'm divorcing him?"
“This is certainly a good thing. It can completely save my father’s face. He loves me so much, how can I bear to hear him being ridiculed by others again?”
"But the Heavenly Fire Sect is powerful. If we can't save face, the Qin family may be destroyed."
"That's enough!"
"The Qin family is the Qin family. My mother and I are the most important. I have no ability to manage the Qin family."
"Because of the elders' decisions, my mother has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Qin family for so many years. Shouldn't she take a break?"
"After this incident, I took my mother and went into seclusion in the mountains, never to appear in the Great Wilderness City again."
The thought vanished in an instant, and Qin Xiaoxiao had already made a plan.
She came to Zhuang Yue'e, knelt on the ground, and choked out, "Your daughter is unfilial, bringing shame to her mother and father!"
“My son…”
Zhuang Yue'e's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she quickly helped her up.
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately wiped away her tears. Her originally delicate face was now completely indifferent. Her eyes swept across the entire room, staring at Zhu Xufeng without any stage fright.
"Young Master Zhu, who do you think you are?"
"Meat buns?"
Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
Zhu Xufeng sensed her change and was immediately surprised. This... it's like she's become a different person.
"Even if you were a meat bun, I wouldn't be that dog!"
A cold voice came from Qin Xiaoxiao's mouth. She said indifferently, "If Young Master Zhu has a bright future ahead of him, I will not bother you any longer. The marriage certificate can be voided."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xufeng smiled with delight and said, "Good, good, it's good that Miss Qin has come to her senses."
"This is a top-grade immortal stone."
He offered it with both hands.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even glance at it. She dragged her graceful figure to the desk and began to write furiously.
In the blink of an eye, a letter announcing the annulment of the engagement was written.
"Take it!"
"Get out of the Qin family."
Qin Xiaoxiao threw it at Zhu Xufeng's face.
Even if she was the one who broke off the engagement, to outsiders it would still appear as if the Heavenly Fire Sect, with its high-handed attitude, had done so.
If I continue to live in the Great Wilderness City, it will be very difficult to find a Daoist partner in the future.
Gu Yuexing places great importance on the spirit of contracts. If one party violates the contract, it means that the other party is extremely dirty and untrustworthy!
This is something that all the ancient moon creatures have subconsciously come to agree with.
At this moment, Zhu Xufeng finished reading the words on the marriage certificate. His face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Qin Xiaoxiao, what did you write on the marriage certificate? Did you divorce me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao said calmly, "That's right, it was I, Qin Xiaoxiao, who divorced you, Zhu Xufeng. In this world, there's no rule that says a woman can't divorce a man, is there?"
"So, you, whom I despise, please take your trash and your trashy people and get the hell out of here!"
Her mocking tone and disdainful expression were like a steel knife, slicing into Zhu Xufeng's heart.
