Wan Jiao had been watching Ye Jin's expression the whole time. Seeing that he recognized the jade pendant, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Since you recognize this token, when shall we register our marriage?"
Ye Jinfei's thin, sensual lips parted slightly. "I will not marry you."
Upon hearing this, Wan Jiao began to scrutinize Ye Jin thoroughly without any restraint.
He was surrounded by purple aura, a rare destiny of a nobleman, which complemented his current status. The only drawback was that his destiny had been tampered with when he was young, making him destined to be alone, unless... he married a cursed loner like her.
Two negatives make a positive.
Only someone with Ye Jin's destiny could have given birth to the heir of Nanshan Temple with Wan Jiao.
No wonder Master sacrificed decades of his lifespan to save Ye Jin, whose destiny was damaged. It turns out he had a grand plan, and he was waiting here.
Unfortunately, this "chess piece" had its own ideas.
"So you want to break off the engagement with me?" Wan Jiao asked seriously.
In recent years, with the changing international situation and frequent wars around the world, Ye Jin has only national affairs on his mind and no personal feelings for his children.
Besides... guns and cannons have no eyes on the battlefield. As the commander-in-chief, Nightfall might die for his country at any time. He would never do anything to drag that girl down.
"yes."
Nightfall was resolute.
Wan Jiao had no interest in men and only wanted to accumulate merit to ascend to immortality. If it weren't for her master's dying wish that she find a cheap fiancé to have an heir so that she could plan for the future of Nanshan Temple after her ascension, she would never have come to see Ye Jin.
Is Ye Jin going to call off the engagement?
Great, that couldn't be better.
"It is not the way of a cultivator like me to force someone to do something against their will. I'm returning the token to you. From now on, we will be separate individuals, each going our own way." She placed the phoenix pendant into his hand.
If you look closely, you'll find a talisman pasted on the phoenix pendant.
"Farewell!"
Wan Jiao turned and left, as if she wasn't the one who had just said she wanted to marry Ye Jin.
As Wan Jiao walked out of the Land Germ Warfare Base, she glanced back at the increasingly eerie sky above the base. "I hope you will have a sense of awe and stop this exercise."
Ye Jin discovered the talisman after Wan Jiao left.
The message contained only eight characters: "Today is extremely unlucky; it is not advisable to conduct drills."
Nightfall arrogantly declared: We should believe in science and not engage in feudal superstition.
…
The capital city is really big and very prosperous.
Wan Jiao was overwhelmed by the sights as she strolled through the streets.
It wasn't until her stomach started growling with hunger that she tragically realized that, having grown up in the mountains, she didn't even have the money to buy a hot meal in this bustling capital city.
Just as she was struggling with whether to beg or set up a fortune-telling stall to make do with a meal, a luxury car stopped in front of her.
The car door opened, and an elderly man with white hair but a sprightly spirit stepped out.
He is Ye Jin's grandfather, the current head of the Ye family, a top-tier wealthy family in the Sheng Kingdom.
"Wanwan, Grandpa's here to pick you up."
Wan Jiao was no stranger to Master Ye, because he would go up the mountain to the temple every year to play chess with Master Wu Nian.
"Ye Jin and I have already broken off our engagement."
"The engagement was arranged by your master and me. How can you juniors just cancel it like that?" As he spoke, Old Master Ye took out a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Mirror and played with it in his hand.
Wan Jiao: "..."
Seven years ago, her master said that the Five Elements Bagua Mirror, the treasure of Nanshan Temple, was lost. She was heartbroken for many years because of this. She never expected that it would be in the hands of Master Ye.
Life is truly unpredictable, like a large intestine enclosing a small intestine.
Seeing that Wan Jiao's gaze was drawn to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Mirror, Old Master Ye chuckled, "Wan Wan, this is the betrothal gift that Grandpa prepared for you. Do you like it?"
The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Mirror is not only the treasure of Nanshan Temple, but also a magic tool that everyone in the metaphysical community wants. Whether it is Wan Jiao, the 188th abbot of Nanshan Temple, or Wan Jiao, a leader in the metaphysical community, she must jump into the pit that her master dug in collusion with Master Ye.
…
Grandpa Ye originally intended to take Wan Jiao directly back to the Ye family, but halfway there, Wan Jiao pinched her fingers, looked in the direction of the Lu Jun combat base, and asked very seriously, "Grandpa, did Ye Jin cancel the military exercise?"
Old Master Ye knew Wan Jiao's strength all too well.
The fact that she brought this up means she must be someone important.
Grandpa Ye quickly took out his phone and tried to call Ye Jin, but couldn't get through. Undeterred, he continued to call the others participating in the bacterial warfare exercise at the Land Bacteria War Base, but still couldn't get through.
Grandpa Ye's heart leaped into his throat as he nervously looked at Wan Jiao, "Wanwan, this military exercise has gathered over 200,000 soldiers at the Land Forces Base. Will they be alright?"
Originally, Ye Jin had followed Wan Jiao's advice and canceled the exercise, which would have solved everything.
Unfortunately, that man, Ye Jin, refused to believe in such superstitions.
“With the Ghost Festival approaching, that thing’s power has increased dramatically. Since we can’t contact it anymore, I’m afraid…” Wan Jiao hesitated.
Old Master Ye was nearly scared out of his wits. He ordered the driver, "To the base."
"It will be too late once the car passes by."
As soon as Wan Jiao finished speaking, she made a hand seal, and then she disappeared from the carriage.
Instant teleportation.
The highest level of metaphysics.
In this world where spiritual energy is scarce, the number of people who know this technique can be counted on one hand!
At that time, the situation at the Land-based military base was extremely dire.
Not only are all communication devices unusable, but people are also frequently going missing.
As the governor of this fungal exercise, Yoru was filled with remorse.
Wan Jiao had already reminded him that he was being arrogant and stubborn... If anything happened to those missing soldiers, Ye Jin would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
