The handsome young man said with a gentle smile, "I'm happy to do anything for you, so don't feel guilty. Let's go find someone better, okay?"
"Jing, I..."
"Clang clang~"
These words softened the girl's heart, and she was about to agree without much thought. But before she could say anything, the little chick in her arms suddenly attacked, pecking hard at the handsome young man's arm.
It only took one moment for blood to appear.
"ah!"
The handsome young man winced in pain, clutching his arm and yelling.
"Jing, are you alright?"
The girl was also stunned by the fledgling bird's sudden attack. Without thinking much, she ran forward to check on the handsome young man's injuries.
"Get out of here."
However, before she could even get close, the handsome young man shoved her away, his gentle expression replaced by disgust and anger. "Hand over the baby bird."
“Jing…”
The girl was taken aback by the handsome young man's behavior and sat on the ground, holding the baby bird, somewhat dazed.
"Qin'er, it's important for a person to know their own limitations. You're quite slow on the uptake."
At this moment, the veiled girl who had been silent all along finally stepped forward, took the handsome young man's arm, and said with a mocking look in her eyes, "Jing has now awakened his bloodline power and is a genius disciple that the Dongfang family is focusing on cultivating. Do you think that with your mediocre talent, you are worthy of him?"
"You...you all..."
Everything before her eyes struck the girl like a bolt from the blue, leaving her completely stunned.
"Yu'er is right. I've wanted to call off our marriage for a long time, but I just haven't had the chance."
Upon seeing this, the handsome young man stopped pretending and directly reached out to put his arm around the veiled woman's waist.
"No, that's not it, Jing. I'll listen to you. I don't want it anymore. Please don't joke with me, okay?"
Upon hearing the news of the annulment of the engagement, the girl immediately came to her senses and crawled to the handsome young man's feet, pleading, "You said you loved me the most, please don't leave me. I know I was wrong, Jing, I really know I was wrong..."
"Don't touch me!"
Upon seeing this, the handsome young man angrily shouted, impatiently throwing the girl aside and looking down at her with a cold laugh, "Don't you even look at yourself? You're eighteen years old and not even an immortal. If it weren't for the fifth-grade pill promised by the Murong family head, do you think I would have agreed to marry you?"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened, and she looked at the handsome young man excitedly, saying, "What fifth-grade pill? Why don't I know about it?"
“Your father was really good to you. I only agreed to it because I was able to awaken my bloodline power.”
The handsome young man said with a mocking expression, "That pill was indeed very effective. I really awakened, so you're useless now."
"Dongfang Jing, are you even human?!"
This cruel truth made the girl tremble with anger, tears streaming down her face. "I love you so much, how could you deceive me like this!"
She didn't know how her father had obtained the pill, but she knew the value of a fifth-grade pill; otherwise, Dongfang Jing wouldn't have needed to rely on outsiders to get it.
However, her father's high expectations and deep love for her were thus given to a treacherous and ungrateful wretch!
At first, she had no feelings for Dongfang Jing. It was his gentleness and thoughtfulness that gradually made her lower her guard and fall in love with him.
