An Changcheng quickly invited Murong Jin into the house. When they arrived at the living room, An Changcheng asked the maid to bring the best tea, then asked Murong Jin to sit down, and then he sat down in the main seat.
After asking Murong Jin to sit down, An Changcheng looked at Murong Jin carefully and had a very high opinion of him in his heart. He was truly a dragon among men, and it would be great for his own Ranran to marry him.
An Changcheng smiled and nodded, then said to Murong Jin, "Nephew Murong is a man of great bearing and elegance, truly a dragon among men. The Murong family has done a great job in educating him."
Murong Jin smiled modestly and said, "Jin'er is not as good as An Bo said. He just relies on his high talent and hard work in cultivation."
Upon hearing this, An Changcheng felt even more strongly that this child was capable, not arrogant or impetuous, very good! He offered a few more words of praise, then asked, "I wonder why my nephew has come this time? Does Mr. Murong have any instructions?"
After hearing An Changcheng's question, Murong Jin stood up and bowed to An Changcheng, then said to An Changcheng, "Uncle, this time I came here to discuss my engagement with the eldest daughter of the mansion, An Ran!"
Hearing this, An Changcheng had a bad feeling for some reason, so he asked, "Could it be that Mr. Murong wants to take Ranran to the Murong family to be raised? Ranran is too young now, not even six years old."
"No, Ranran is too young!" At this time, He Yun heard the news of Murong Jin's arrival in the backyard. Thinking of his future son-in-law, he came to the front yard. Just when he reached the door of the study, he heard the news that Grandpa Murong was going to take Anran away, and he immediately spoke out.
Murong Jin couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when she heard He Yun's strong flower language. She said directly to He Yun, "Auntie, you misunderstood me. I came here to cancel the engagement."
When An Changcheng heard Murong Jin say this, he was shocked: "Why is this?"
Murong Jin patiently explained, "An Bo, your eldest daughter and I are not suitable. My grandfather only promised to marry your daughter to thank you for saving his life, but I don't like Miss An Ran, and she is too young!"
An Changcheng was furious: "What do you mean by this?! Your old man Murong didn't even say anything about breaking off the engagement in front of me, how dare you, a young man!"
Murong Jin felt angry and signaled the guards to come forward.
The guards behind him could no longer bear it and said impatiently: "Our family is one of the four major families in the imperial capital. Your family is not even ranked among the three major families in Xinghu City. Why should my son marry your daughter?
Besides, our young master likes the eldest daughter of the Baili family in the imperial capital. She is extremely beautiful, intelligent and gifted. She is the perfect match for our young master!
Your eldest daughter's magic talent is only level five, and it's wood-type. Our young master is already a level five fire-type expert, and our young master is already... How can your eldest daughter be worthy of our young master! "
An Ran had just returned home when she heard from the housekeeper that her fiancé had come to the house. She was immediately shocked. She didn't even know she had a fiancé. She hurried to the front hall without even washing up.
She had just walked into the hall when she heard these words. She walked in calmly and said directly to Murong Jin: "If that's the case, then cancel the engagement. It just so happens that I don't want to marry you! But remember, it's me, An Ran, who doesn't like you! I don't want to marry you!"
An Changcheng looked at An Ran, nodded, and said, "That's fine. Since Ran Ran said so, then bring the token over and we'll cancel the engagement!"
When He Yun heard An Changcheng say this, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he turned and went into the inner room to get the token.
Murong Jin looked at An Ran's dirty clothes and immediately felt that it was right to cancel the marriage. He signaled the guards to give the jade pendant to An Changcheng, then took the bracelet that He Yun had just taken out and left with the guards.
In the hall of the An Mansion, An Changcheng was still sighing sadly. An Ran angrily asked An Changcheng, "Father, when did you arrange a marriage for me? You sold me out without even asking me what I thought?!"
An Changcheng sighed and said, "This was decided before you were even born. Your mother knows about it. Your mother and I thought that the old man of the Murong family was so generous, warm, and kind, so we agreed to it... Alas... Who knew that the younger generation would be like this?!"
"Did he know I was a girl before I was born? And he arranged it for his grandson? And why would he arrange it with our family? Our family is still far away from the imperial capital." An Ran became even more confused after listening.
An Changcheng didn't want to recall the past anymore, and casually said, "At that time, the old man of the Murong family came to the Misty Forest to look for treasure. I saved him after he escaped from death." Then he fell silent and sat there, not knowing what he was thinking.
When An Ran saw An Changcheng like this, she knew that he was still sad and disappointed, so she went back to the yard to wash.
He Yun looked at An Changcheng like this and didn't know how to comfort him: "There's nothing we can do. No one can predict what will happen to the younger generation. Maybe this is Murong Jin's own idea. Master Murong won't cancel the engagement."
An Changcheng sighed and said, "Let it be. It's better to withdraw. Otherwise, Ranran will suffer hardships if she marries him, and I don't want to do that."
After An Ran returned to Youran Pavilion, she couldn't help but feel lucky that she had returned early, otherwise she wouldn't have known anything. But what was going on with the Murong family? Could it be that Mr. Murong, in gratitude for his father's life-saving grace, had promised his grandson to marry her?
An Ran could hardly bear it anymore. What kind of people were these? No one considered her thoughts. Besides, that top-notch man Murong Jin was too narcissistic.
An Ran thought about it and shook her head, waving away those thoughts in her mind. No matter in the past life or the present life, if she is not strong, she will have no say and will not be able to protect herself and her family. So what she should do now is to practice well, and nothing else is what she considers.
At night, An Ran kept thinking about the arrogant words of the guard beside Murong Jin. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and started practicing in the house.
An Ran was surprised to find that the speed of her cultivation in her room was quite different from that in the mountains. She couldn't figure out the problem so she sent a message to Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai was still half asleep in the space. When she heard An Ran's question, she said, "Sister, after a lot of exercise, the body's cells will absorb a lot of magic elements. In addition, your body has been nourished by spiritual energy for several years, and now it is highly attractive to magic elements. That's why you absorbed so many magic elements today."
An Ran said helplessly that she understood. She thought she had to arrange her time well. Did she have to work herself to death before practicing in the future?
