"Young Master, something terrible has happened! Miss Ling has come to annul the engagement!"
The delicate-looking young girl pounded on the door, her face filled with anger and anxiety.
"break off an engagement?"
The door opened from the inside, and Lu Chen walked out, looking calm.
"Yes! People from the Ling family are in the living room, saying they've come to annul the engagement. How could they do this?" the maid Chan'er accused through gritted teeth.
Lu Chen curled his lip, looking completely unconvinced. Instead, he glanced at the angry little maid and said, "It's good that the engagement is annulled!"
"good?"
Chan'er was stunned.
"Now that the engagement is annulled, you have a chance, don't you? I'll just take you in, are you willing?" Lu Chen's smile gradually became wicked.
Chan'er looked at him with exasperation and said, "Young Master, stop fooling around! What time is it? How can you still be in the mood to flirt with me?"
"well!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen sighed, knowing she would refuse.
It's good to refuse!
[Ding! Confession of love failed. Reward: One Body Tempering Pill]
As a transmigrator, Lu Chen has a system called "Become Stronger After Failing to Confess Your Love". As long as he fails to confess his love, he can get a reward from the system. The rewards are varied and include all sorts of things.
After numerous experiments, Lu Chen has now grasped some general patterns.
The value of a reward depends on the worth of the person being confessed to.
Take this maid Chan'er for example. Lu Chen confessed his love to her many times, but the reward she received in the end was nothing more than Qi Condensation Pills, basic cultivation techniques, and basic sword techniques.
The best one is this Body Tempering Pill.
The cultivation realms in the True Martial Continent are fundamentally divided into four stages: Qi Condensation Realm, Body Tempering Realm, True Essence Realm, and Mortal Transformation Realm.
Each realm is further divided into nine levels.
The little maid Chan'er had only just entered the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
They are far too weak.
Of course, there are those who are even weaker than her.
Take Lu Chen, for example. This young master of the Lu family is already eighteen years old, but he is still only at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Calling him a waste would be an understatement.
"Ugh, this thing again?"
Lu Chen muttered to himself, then casually took out the Body Tempering Pill he had just received as a reward from the system space and tossed it to Chan'er, saying, "Here you go!"
"Huh? This is... a Body Tempering Pill?"
Chan'er initially didn't think much of it, but after casually taking the fragrant blue pill, her face lit up with joy.
"Thank you so much, young master! You are too kind to me! I will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Body Tempering Realm so that I can protect you in the future!"
Chan'er was deeply moved.
Although the Body Tempering Pill is not a particularly precious medicine, the Lu family, with its status among the three major families in Qingyang City, could afford to produce it.
But she was, after all, just a maid.
"What? Young Master treats you so well, why don't you repay him with your body? Hehe!" Lu Chen blurted out. Anyway, he figured he might as well spend the money. He could then give the prizes to Chan'er. This was called taking from the people and using them for the people.
Chan'er smiled bitterly, "Young Master, please don't do this. If I dare to agree, Master will beat me to death if he finds out!"
She had something else she didn't say.
The young master of our family already had a marriage contract, and the Ling family was one of the three major families in Qingyang City, and in recent years they had become even more powerful than the Lu family.
Ling Yan'er, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, is currently the number one genius in Qingyang City.
How could a mere maidservant dare to covet her young master?
"Nonsense, it's precisely because I know you wouldn't dare agree that I dared to go all out on the rewards!" Lu Chen thought to himself, naturally not caring at all.
[Ding! Confession failed, reward: one Body Tempering Pill!]
Lu Chen casually tossed the Body Tempering Pill to Chan'er. Anyway, he didn't need it and it would be a waste to keep it. He might as well nurture Chan'er and maybe she would break through one day.
The rewards will definitely be more valuable if you try again later.
Chan'er was momentarily stunned by the impact.
"Let's go take a look!"
When Lu Chen entered the hall, the atmosphere inside was very oppressive.
Four people from the Ling family arrived, including an elder, a master at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm, who stood in the main hall with his eyes closed and hands at his sides, exuding a sharp aura.
Beside him were Ling Yan'er, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, and two beautiful maids attending to him.
Lu Chen glanced at Ling Yan'er and had to admit that after not seeing her for many days, his fiancée had become even more aloof and noble; she was indeed a stunning beauty.
"I thought you were hiding and too scared to come out!"
When Lu Chen came out, Ling Yan'er glanced at him indifferently but did not speak. Instead, a maid next to her mocked him arrogantly.
Lu Chengfeng, the head of the Lu family, and three elders were also present. Upon hearing this, their expressions changed slightly, but they knew that things were different now.
"What is it? Speak!"
Lu Chen remained indifferent. While everyone else stood, he walked to the side and sat down.
"Heh, your feigned ease is truly laughable!" Another maid also looked at her with disdain, then said arrogantly, "Listen carefully, my young lady has broken through to the Transcendent Realm at the age of sixteen. Do you know what this means?"
"What?"
The members of the Lu family present were all shocked and pale.
They didn't even notice it at first.
Of the four basic realms of cultivation, the one from the True Essence Realm to the Mortal Transformation Realm is the most difficult to break through. However, once you break through, it means that you have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation and will soar to great heights.
There is a difference between the mortal and the divine.
"You're scared already? Heh!" The maid was quite pleased with the shocked expressions on the Lu family's faces. She continued, "My young lady has already been chosen by a senior from the Myriad Swords Sect and taken as a disciple, and even an inner disciple! In three days, that senior from the Myriad Swords Sect will personally come to take my young lady to the Myriad Swords Sect!"
