"Uncle, where's the marriage certificate?"
Ignoring the strange looks from the others, Lu Chen walked straight to the patriarch, Lu Chengfeng.
All eyes were fixed on the two of them.
The four members of the Ling family were somewhat surprised, feeling that something was amiss.
The Lu family members were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Lu Chengfeng looked hesitant and unwilling, not because the annulment of this engagement would bring any great loss to the Lu family, since Ling Yan'er had not yet married into the family.
However, this concerns the reputation of the Lu family.
Being so thoroughly suppressed by the Ling family, he'll likely never be able to turn things around again.
"Chen'er, is this truly the way it must be?"
"What else?" Lu Chen didn't seem to care.
"That's it!" Lu Chengfeng sighed, knowing that the matter was beyond repair and that it was better to give up as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew what other twists and turns might occur three days later?
He sent someone to retrieve the marriage contract.
Lu Chen accepted the marriage contract, walked up to Ling Yan'er, and stood still.
"Speak your mind, or shut up!"
Ling Yan'er's personal maid sneered, clearly annoyed.
"I can break off this engagement right now in front of everyone!" Lu Chen glanced at the maid; this little brat had quite the sharp tongue. He changed the subject, his expression suddenly turning sorrowful, and sighed, "However, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Although we haven't married, we've at least shared this experience..."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ling Yan'er interrupted impatiently.
Lu Chen said hopefully, "Can't you give us another chance? What if your senior from the Myriad Swords Sect agrees to our relationship?"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Is this person an idiot?
It's obvious that it's impossible.
"hehe!"
Ling Yan'er scoffed and shook her head, saying, "What do you think?"
"well!"
Lu Chen sighed with disappointment, but upon hearing the system notification, he was secretly delighted, though he remained outwardly calm.
[Ding! Confession failed. Reward: Cultivation Realm +1!]
In that instant, Lu Chen felt that he had completely changed, a transformation from the inside out, as if he had been reborn and was completely different.
Everyone present suddenly sensed the change.
Ling Yan'er, in particular, was the closest to Lu Chen and looked at him in surprise.
"Oh? You actually broke through to the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, not bad!"
Ling Yan'er was only slightly surprised that Lu Chen had broken through at this time, but to her, it was nothing.
"So what if you break through? You'll just go from being a piece of trash to a piece of trash at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm!" The maid beside Ling Yan'er's face showed even more mockery.
The Lu family members felt a little comforted.
Anyway, it's been ten years, and this kid has finally made progress.
Lu Chen, however, showed no sign of smugness and continued to look at Ling Yan'er.
"If I don't squeeze you dry today, I'll be doing you a disservice by letting you deliver yourself right to my doorstep!"
With no woman in his heart, drawing his sword naturally makes him divine!
It's just a confession; the system doesn't require sincerity.
It's so hard to confess your feelings successfully, but it's so easy to fail!
However, there is a limit to this; you can't go too far. Otherwise, if the other party gets angry and draws their sword to hurt you, that would be bad.
Lu Chen suddenly changed his previous sorrowful expression and became very affectionate, saying, "Yan'er, our marriage has lasted for so many years, but today our fate ends here. I only want to ask you one question: Did you... ever love me?"
"No!"
Ling Yan'er felt nauseous and uncomfortable, and immediately answered without any hesitation.
Today, the Ling family came to our door, intending to use their power to intimidate us.
But I never expected things to turn out this way.
Lu Chen was surprisingly cooperative.
The contrast between the beginning and the end is quite significant.
At first, this person pretended to be relaxed, but at this moment, he showed such deep affection and reluctance to part.
This made it difficult for Ling Yan'er to take advantage of the situation.
"I only have martial arts in my heart, and I will not talk about personal feelings!" Ling Yan'er rarely said more than that.
Lu Chen nodded, looking regretful.
"Okay, I understand!"
[Confession of love fails, reward: Lingxiao Sword Technique]
Ling family's traditional sword technique?
Lu Chen was secretly alarmed. The Lingxiao Sword Technique was famous throughout Qingyang City and was a closely guarded secret.
However, it wasn't of much use to Lu Chen.
After all, the Lingxiao Sword Technique is just an ordinary Yellow-level sword technique.
Cultivation techniques and secret arts are also divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with Heaven being the highest.
"Hmph! A toad trying to eat swan meat, doesn't it know what it is?" Ling Yan'er's maid sneered from the side.
"Shut up!"
Lu Chen suddenly roared!
The maid was startled and was about to rebuke him when she suddenly saw Lu Chen raise the marriage contract in his hand.
"It's not difficult for me to break off this engagement. I have only one request, Yan'er. You said that we are now worlds apart. I admit that I may never reach your level in this lifetime and can only be an ordinary person!"
Lu Chen paused, then said, "But I, Lu Chen, really want to taste what swan meat is like!"
Everyone was astonished.
The elder of the Ling family unleashed his full power.
Lu Chengfeng, the head of the Lu family, and three elders immediately surrounded them.
Ling Yan'er, however, remained unmoved.
With her Transcendent Realm cultivation, no one present combined could possibly be her match. She was curious, though, where did Lu Chen get such audacity?
