Chapter 3: Breaking off the Engagement in Public and Dumping the Scumbag
Finally, she wanted to let the world see what the Zhong family of the six great families is like. Since her father passed away, the Zhong family has changed beyond all recognition, and today's incident is just a prelude. She will get revenge on the Zhong family one day.
As for the family seal, after my mother married my uncle and expelled several of my father's disciples, the seal became a piece of stone. In the second life, the original owner carried the family seal and planned to inherit the Zhong family after he came of age. However, by that time, all the members of the Zhong family had changed, so who would recognize a piece of stone?
And she wanted to fight for it again. She handed over the family seal in public. Everyone should understand that she was in a difficult situation. Would Master Hongyuan still have the nerve to not fulfill his promise?
Master Hongyuan lowered his eyes as he looked at Zhong Ling'er. He understood what the child meant, but her spiritual roots were broken. It was a blessing for her to be an inner sect disciple. There was no reason for her to take up a place as a personal disciple.
He couldn't say the words of regret, so he turned around and looked at Zhong Zhenhai again.
Sure enough, Zhong Zhenhai pulled Zhong Ling'er over again and said, "Ling'er, you are a good child. Don't blame your mother. She is also considering the family. Your father is gone, so there must be someone capable to support the Zhong family. Since you agree to give your place to your cousin and are willing to be an inner disciple, uncle will ask Master Hongyuan to accept you, okay?"
Zhong Ling'er felt the feeling of restraint coming, and she immediately bit her tongue before being completely controlled by this feeling. Blood flowed out when she opened her mouth, so the words "I'll listen to uncle in everything" sounded bloody, and the accusation effect was maximized.
Many people shouted angrily, saying that Zhong Zhenhai had forced a child into this state and was worse than a beast.
Many people felt sorry for her. A middle-aged man on the platform flashed in front of Zhong Ling'er, stuffed a pill directly into her mouth, and then opened her mouth to take a look. Seeing that there was just a lot of blood but the wound was not deep, he felt relieved.
"Zhong Ling'er, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely. There's no need to hurt yourself like this." The man's eyes were full of pity, and full of contempt when he looked at the Zhong family. This was the only kindness Zhong Ling'er had felt since she came to this world.
Maybe the medicine in the world of immortal cultivation is particularly effective. Zhong Ling'er felt that the bleeding from the wound had stopped, and her tongue was a little numb but no longer painful. At least it did not affect her speech.
After thanking the middle-aged man, Zhong Ling'er looked at Master Hongyuan and felt that this was not enough and she had to add more fuel to the fire.
Zhong Ling'er never turns back until she hits a wall, but she will never give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope. Of course, she doesn't like to do useless work, and she always has to do something that is good for herself.
Then Zhong Ling'er walked up to the handsome and arrogant young man in front of the Spirit Sword Sect team, handed him a red jade pendant and said, "Brother Mingyu, this is our engagement jade pendant. I am returning it to you today. I know you confessed your love to my cousin yesterday, but she rejected you. If we cancel the engagement, you can pursue my cousin without any worries."
Such a secret was said in public, and the boy blushed immediately. Without caring about his family's explanation, Lu Mingyu snatched the jade pendant, took out a small box from the storage ring and threw it back, saying loudly: "You are willing to do this, I didn't force you, and don't regret it in the future. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other's marriage."
After saying this, he looked at Zhong Yuxue with fiery eyes. From now on, she would no longer have to distance herself from him because of her engagement.
Zhong Yuxue blushed and lowered her head, enduring the strange and mocking looks from all around her. She cursed Lu Mingyu to death in her heart, saying that it was wishful thinking for a toad to want to eat swan flesh.
Everyone was in an uproar again, and they couldn't understand this little girl Zhong Ling'er even more. She had offended her family by exposing the family's dirty laundry to public eyes, and now she had called off the marriage. It was obvious that the Lingjian Sect wanted to go back on their word and didn't want her anymore. She had blocked all her paths. Didn't she want to live?
Zhong Ling'er opened the box and saw a round pill sealed with wax. She nodded with satisfaction. How could a man who had changed his mind be as precious as the Ninth Grade Resurrection Pill? This medicine was an indispensable treasure for her to repair her spiritual roots.
In the first two lives, the original owner did not break off the engagement, and her infatuation did not receive even a glance from Lu Mingyu. In the third life, she thought it through and broke off the engagement. Then she took back the engagement token and repaired the cracked spiritual root. She lived twenty years longer than in the previous two lives.
Zhong Ling'er walked back to the center of the arena and said to her uncle and mother, "Now, I, Zhong Ling'er, have returned everything I got from the Zhong family. My marriage is over, the head of the family has been handed over to someone else, and the master my father found for me has been given to my cousin. I, Zhong Ling'er, am now alone and have nothing to do with the Zhong family anymore."
Having severed her connection with the Zhong family and without this way out, she had to put pressure on Master Hongyuan again and make one last effort to change her fate.
The middle-aged man disagreed: "Little girl, what are you going to do? Where are you going to go by yourself without your family?"
Zhong Ling'er's eyes were filled with tears. "I didn't keep anything my father left for me. I'm going to go and ask for my forgiveness."
The middle-aged man couldn't bear it, and he looked up and said loudly: "Master Hongyuan, please say something."
Master Hongyuan's unhappy voice came, "Master Wuchen, what do you want me to say? How can I interfere in the family affairs of the Zhong family?"
Zhong Ling'er's heart was completely chilled. It was obvious that Master Hongyuan was going to go back on his word. All her efforts were in vain. No wonder the original owner had escaped. It was too difficult to change these things that had been decided.
At the suggestion of Zhong Zhenhai, Master Lingfeng finally announced that Zhong Yuxue would become the direct disciple of Lingjian Sect, and Master Hongyuan expressed that he was willing to compensate Zhong Linger and accept her as an inner disciple.
There were envious voices from below. After all, for a waste with broken spiritual roots who couldn't practice cultivation, being able to become a member of the inner sect of the number one Lingjian Sect was considered a great achievement. If Zhong Ling'er didn't have a good father, which sect would be willing to accept her?
But what Zhong Ling'er was thinking was: If I become an inner sect disciple of the Lingjian Sect, wouldn't that mean I'm still following the old path?
Zhong Ling'er took advantage of not being restrained by the unknown force and immediately shouted: "I don't want to join the Spirit Sword Sect. My father is the only ninth-grade formation master in Dongzhou. Many people present have received his kindness. I have a way to repair my spiritual roots. I wonder which leader is willing to accept me as his personal disciple?"
Zhong Ling'er felt that she could still try to save the person. As long as the person was not dead, she could give it a try. Isn't that the worst result? But what if she succeeded?
Helplessly, there was no sound from the five major sects above, and there was no sound from the other sects on the left and right sides. Zhong Ling'er cursed inwardly, thinking that all her father's favors had been thrown to waste. He had been generous and selfless throughout his life, and had friends all over the world, but after his death, no one was willing to protect his orphan. It was really true that people are no longer as good as they used to be.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side, "Are you willing to join my Taiqiong Sect?"
