"The patriarch is here, currently in the reception room, but... but..." The guard hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Speak properly, why are you stammering?" Murong Qin said impatiently.
"The Dongfang family has come to annul the engagement!"
Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, the gatekeeper closed his eyes and whispered the truth.
"The Dongfang family has come to annul the engagement; they are utterly shameless!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Qin's pretty face flushed red with anger, and she clenched her fists, shouting, "Has Dongfang Jing arrived?"
"They're here."
Although she was somewhat puzzled by Murong Qin's attitude, after all, she had previously liked Dongfang Jing very much, so her reaction after finding out the truth should not have been like this.
But the gatekeeper dared not ask any more questions and truthfully replied, "The fourth master of the Dongfang family and the young master of the Dongfang family have both arrived."
"Qin girl, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Di Mingkun frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by annulment of the engagement?"
In Di Mingkun's view, in a high-level empire, a woman who could reach the Earth Profound Realm at the age of eighteen was considered to have quite good aptitude, so why would she be jilted?
"This has nothing to do with Grandpa Di; it's a private matter, so let's not cause you any more trouble."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qin gently shook her head and said, "You and Lord Jue still have a long way to go, so you should go back first. I believe Father can handle it."
"You silly girl, you're already here, why are you still being so formal with me?"
As Di Mingkun spoke, he carried Jun Feijue inside, saying, "Let's go. I want to see just how outstanding the other party is that he dares to break off your engagement."
"Xiao Qin, since Senior Di is willing to stand up for you, that's wonderful. Just accept it without worry."
Bei Qingling, who was standing nearby, already knew about Dongfang Jing and Xiong Yujie's situation. She patted Murong Qin's hand and said, "The Dongfang family is much stronger than the Murong family in Shifeng City. If a conflict really breaks out, the principle of 'reason' will ultimately be in the hands of the one with the bigger fist."
"Disciple understands, thank you Master." Hearing this, Murong Qin nodded.
Actually, if it were before, she might have cared a lot about the annulment of the engagement, but after experiencing so much, she has matured a lot and is now able to face it calmly.
Therefore, she didn't want to trouble Di Mingkun too much. Although it might seem like a small favor to him, she felt a lot of pressure.
After all, the other party's status was far too distinguished, and it felt beneath him to stand up for such a trivial matter.
"Dongfang Yuejin, what do you mean by this?!"
As Murong Qin and the others reached the entrance of the reception room, they heard an angry middle-aged man's voice coming from inside, "What do you mean you want to annul the engagement? We clearly agreed on this before, are you trying to go back on your word now!"
"Murong Yiqiu, what happened back then is what happened now. It's not that we're going back on our word, but your daughter is simply too disgraceful."
Facing the enraged Murong Yiqiu, Dongfang Yuejin remained calm. "My Jing'er is now a celestial being, while your daughter is still a mortal. Do you think your daughter is worthy of my son?"
"How can you say he's not good enough? Don't forget, Dongfang Jing is where he is today because of me..."
"Oh, you mean because of that pill?"
Before Murong Yiqiu could finish speaking, Dongfang Yuejin had already pulled out a jade bottle from his robes. "This is a perfect-quality Grade 4 White Extreme Pill. Its value is about the same as that low-grade Grade 5 pill from before."
