Because he is Xi Ling'er's fiancé, he is always compared to her.
Everyone says that Xi Ling'er has talent, looks, and a naturally alluring body; if she wanted to, probably no man in the world could resist her.
Xu Xingzhi had neither talent nor good looks.
Xi Ling'er paired with him is like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!
Back then, the Xu family was not as powerful as the Xi family.
They haven't had any dealings with the demons yet.
Even his father always compared him to Xi Ling'er, who was younger than him, urging him to seize this marriage no matter what.
Because this is beneficial to the Xu family.
For so many years, he has lived in Xi Ling'er's shadow.
He hated Xi Ling'er's talent, hated everything about her that made her stand out from him!
Xi Ling'er was speechless at Xu Xingzhi's attitude.
Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes at him, she patiently replied, "I wouldn't say I look down on you, but there's no affection between us. If we can part ways amicably, that would be the best outcome."
What do you mean by looking down on me?
She's disgusted, isn't she?
Even if the Xu family and her parents disagree with a hypocrite like him, she will eventually break off the engagement with him.
Upon hearing that Xi Ling'er had no feelings for him, Xu Xingzhi jumped up again, "No feelings? What makes you think you have no feelings for me? Apart from my talent and looks, what do I lack that makes me unworthy of you? What right do you have to look down on me?"
Isn't it just that she's a bit more talented and has a seductive face?
What's so great about it?
Yun Qin's talent is no less than hers, but she is a much better person!
Only a woman like Yun Qin is the most suitable for him!
Xi Ling'er: "..."
Completely baffled by Xu Xingzhi's thought process, Xi Ling'er finally lost her temper.
She rolled her eyes at Xu Xingzhi.
Are you sick in the head?
With her long sword planted firmly in the ground, Xi Ling'er demanded, "One question: are you going to call off the engagement or not? If you're willing to, I'll leave right now and go home to tell my parents that the engagement between our two families is now off."
Xu Xingzhi snorted, "Of course the engagement will be called off."
“But you…” His tone shifted, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes as he looked at Xi Ling’er, “you can’t go anywhere!”
His father had said that the marriage between the Xu and Xi families must not be called off.
Unless Xi Ling'er is dead.
Otherwise, he must marry her!
If that's the case... then she should just die!
Xi Ling'er looked at him as if he were a lunatic.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Xingzhi did not answer her, but suddenly activated his magic, gathering a violent demonic energy in his hand and heading straight for Xi Ling'er's feet.
Seeing the demonic energy in his hand, Xi Ling'er couldn't help but be startled.
While she was stunned, Xu Xingzhi shouted.
"Charge!"
As he spoke, Xi Ling'er's feet suddenly lit up, and a restraining array that had been set up and hidden underground appeared around her.
The magic circle was filled with demonic energy, clearly the work of the demon race.
Xi Ling'er raised her longsword and pointed it at Xu Xingzhi, asking in a low voice, "Demonic energy? You've cultivated demonic arts?"
