Qi Zhiheng thought to himself: This Yang Yiqian must have already been having an affair with this noble young master from the capital, which is why she's so eager to break off the engagement with me. Fine! Although my appearance back then was indeed enough to scare even a child to tears! But…
Turning to look at Yang Yitian, wasn't there still someone who hadn't been scared to tears?
"Have you heard? Yang Yiqian was originally supposed to marry into a rural family. She was already engaged, but then a young master from the capital appeared, and this shameless woman hooked up with him and broke off her engagement with the country boy..."
Before the man could finish speaking, a whip lashed out, tearing a hole in his clothes.
The man was also confused, and only became a little nervous after he saw who it was.
Yang Yiqian stood beside him, holding a long whip, coldly watching him.
The man was somewhat panicked. He wasn't afraid of Yang Yiqian, but rather of the people around her.
Yang Yiqian was just a girl who had just advanced to the Spirit Master level. He didn't take her seriously at all, but the other Spirit Masters beside him were all at the late stage of the Spirit Master level. He was no match for them.
Yang Yiqian parted her lips slightly: "Grab him."
The spiritual cultivators behind him were ordered to seize the man and escort him to Yang Yiqian.
Yang Yiqian said, "Who gave you the audacity to spout nonsense here?"
The man knelt down and said, "No, no one! It was all nonsense and slander! Please, Miss Qian, forgive me this time! I will definitely repent and change my ways!" Compared to dignity, his life was more important.
Yang Yiqian was not about to let him off the hook. Lately, for some reason, people have been talking about her past engagement! If she found out who was spreading these rumors, she would definitely not let them get away with it!
"Cut out his tongue." Yang Yiqian took this opportunity to make an example of him!
Ji Qiuhan will be coming to Qianshi City again in the next few days, and it would be bad if he heard this news.
Yang Yitian watched as the man struggled in vain, only to have half his tongue severed by a knife. The scene was somewhat gruesome, and he instinctively tightened his grip on Qi Zhiheng's hand.
Yang Yitian looked at the food on the table and immediately lost his appetite.
Yang Yiqian warned softly, "If I hear anyone gossiping again, that's what will happen to you." Then she left with her people.
The farce ended, and the crowd outside the inn dispersed.
Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian also returned to their rooms.
Yang Yitian asked, "Is that the person you were engaged to before?"
Qi Zhiheng used his soul power to isolate the surrounding environment to prevent their conversation from being overheard, as Yang Yiqian hadn't gone far yet.
Qi Zhiheng nodded: "That's true."
Yang Yitian said, "I heard she's been hooking up with someone for a long time, so you've been cheated on for a long time, haven't you?"
Qi Zhiheng didn't know what "greened" meant, but he could roughly guess the rest of the meaning from the first half of the sentence.
"I never intended to marry her, but I agreed to the marriage because of the power of the Yang family," Qi Zhiheng said indifferently.
Yang Yitian showed no joy whatsoever: "Well, I was also given to you by the Yang family!"
Qi Zhiheng glanced at him: "That's right."
Yang Yitian: "..." He was speechless.
The two set off again early the next morning.
In both his previous and current lives, Qi Zhiheng had never left the small town of Qianshi City. Looking at this unfamiliar map before him, Qi Zhiheng took out a map and studied it for a while.
