As Sima Jie spoke, he glanced at Qin Feng with a slightly cold look, the threat in his eyes was self-evident.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two attendants beside him also turned their unfriendly gazes toward Qin Feng.
This is clearly a question; isn't it obvious they want Qin Feng to agree?
Qin Feng is a person who neither seeks trouble nor fears it.
He doesn't want to get involved in other people's private affairs, but it's a different story when someone takes the initiative to provoke him.
Sima Jie's attitude displeased him, and he bluntly stated, "I am not used to dining with strangers."
Sima Jie and his two attendants were stunned. Who was this person?
In the Purple Origin Immortal Realm, who wouldn't give the Sima family some face? This person just refused like that, even after they had clearly stated their position.
Isn't this a blatant slap in their face?
The two attendants glared angrily at Qin Feng.
Sima Jie gave Qin Feng a deep look, as if trying to remember him, and then said with some regret:
"Oh, that's a pity. Yue'er, see you next time."
When Dongfang Yue saw that he was finally leaving, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that it was best to clarify some things.
"Young Master Sima, my father and mother have already discussed your previous marriage proposal with us."
They felt I was too young and did not agree. Please inform Young Master Sima that you should seek a better match elsewhere.
Sima Jie was devastated when he heard the news, even though his father had told him that everything was fine.
He knew that Dongfang Yue was somewhat reluctant, but the head of the Dongfang family had agreed. This concerned the alliance between the Dongfang family and the Sima family, and she had no choice in the matter.
But now he heard Dongfang Yue's unusually certain words, which didn't seem fake.
He forced a smile, "Yue'er, don't be silly. This is a big deal concerning both our families, so you can't just say things like that."
Dongfang Yue didn't want to pay him any more attention, and her attitude was somewhat indifferent.
“My father hasn’t had a chance to tell Uncle Sima about this yet, so I’m telling you in advance. Believe it or not.”
After she finished speaking, she told Qin Feng and the other two to leave immediately, ignoring the somewhat disheveled Sima Jie.
As Sima Jie watched the figures of the group gradually disappear into the distance, a sinister glint appeared in his calm eyes, and his gaze became distant, as if he were lost in thought.
Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, the two attendants assumed he was upset about Dongfang Yue's annulment of the engagement and offered their comfort:
"Young Master, this matter may not be settled yet. Let's go back and ask the Patriarch."
"Yes, Miss Dongfang's words are not true. Her attitude before was similar to her attitude now."
Sima Jie snapped out of his thoughts, regained his composure, and said calmly, "Alright, let's leave first, lest we become a laughingstock."
Sima Jie knew in his heart that what Dongfang Yue said was likely true; she wouldn't have said such a thing if she hadn't received confirmation from the Dongfang family head.
As the master and his servants left Xiaoyao Residence, Sima Jie's face darkened completely, and he gave the following orders:
“Those three people were unfamiliar faces. Have someone inquire about why they are on good terms with Dongfang Yue.”
The matter was not difficult to investigate, and Dongfang Zhengyu did not issue a gag order, so Sima Jie quickly learned the reason.
A wicked smile crept across his handsome face as he muttered to himself:
"So that's how it is. I didn't realize that Dongfang Yue was so strong-willed and disliked me so much. She even ran away from home to avoid marrying me."
So these three were my saviors! No wonder they valued me so much.
Sima Jie's eyes deepened, his gaze becoming unfathomable, as if he were thinking of something, and a cold, ruthless aura gradually emanated from him.
The two attendants shivered at the aura emanating from him and looked at their young master with awe.
Here at Xiaoyaoju.
After the Sima family left, the customers here started discussing the matter.
"Hehe, I think Sima Jie and I are both geniuses with good looks, so why didn't Dongfang Yue take a liking to them?"
"Yes, Sima Jie is the designated next head of the Sima family. He has a bright future ahead of him. I can't understand it either."
"Who can argue with that? Since Sima Jie rose to prominence ten years ago, he has made great strides and, among the many younger generation, was valued by Sima Jian and appointed as the young master."
"Speaking of this, I'm curious. Sima Jie was originally just an ordinary person, so how did he suddenly rise to prominence?"
Ten years ago, he was just a minor immortal, but in just a few years, he seemed to have received divine favor.
His cultivation level has improved at an unbelievable speed; I heard he's already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm—a speed unheard of in the entire Immortal Realm.
"Oh, now that you mention it, it's true."
"I think it's perfectly normal. Maybe they encountered some extraordinary opportunity, which completely transformed them and improved their overall quality. Isn't that normal?"
Do you think this matter will affect the relationship between the Dongfang and Sima families?
"It shouldn't have much of an impact. Given the current situation, the two companies will likely continue to work together."
On the other side, Dongfang Yue led Qin Feng and the others into a private room.
She hadn't expected to run into Sima Jie, and even get Qin Feng into a conflict with him; she felt deeply apologetic.
Therefore, she ordered a table full of delicious food as an apology.
"Well, I didn't know this would happen. Qin Feng, your attitude just now might have offended Sima Jie. You two need to be more careful in the future."
Qin Feng nodded nonchalantly, "It's alright, we'll be more careful in the future."
Ao Ling asked in confusion, "Don't your Dongfang family and the Sima family have a good relationship? Knowing that we are your guests, why would he still take action? That doesn't make sense."
Dongfang Yue said with annoyance:
"Given the relationship between our two families, this shouldn't be the case."
I impulsively brought up the marriage proposal in front of everyone just now, and he might do something drastic to you.
"It's all my fault. You guys better watch out."
Ao Ling stared at Dongfang Yue's pretty face for a long time.
Dongfang Yue felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. "Ling'er, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Ao Ling pouted, "I think you're just average-looking, not quite the kind of person who would make someone swoon. Why is Sima Jie so blind and can't forget you?"
Dongfang Yue's lips twitched. "I'll take it as a compliment, but how would I know? To be honest, I've only met him once."
Dongmei guessed, "Could it be love at first sight?"
Dongfang Yue: "Whatever, I don't agree anyway."
Qin Feng said calmly, "He might be interested in your background. You are the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family head, and your status is not ordinary."
Leng Yuexi suddenly interjected, "Brother Feng, Ling'er, although this is our first time meeting Sima Jie, don't you think he looks familiar? And you two, think about it carefully too."
Her words surprised everyone.
Qin Feng carefully recalled the scene of meeting Sima Jie just now, and suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly.
The same applies to Ao Ling.
Dongfang Yue and Dongmei were completely bewildered. The Dongfang family and the Sima family had close ties, but they weren't familiar with Sima Jie.
"What have you come up with? Tell me."
