Chapter 979: The One Who Came to Annul the Engagement

Zhong Liqing looked at Jiang Yantian, but couldn't help but smile.

Even her voice carried a hint of excitement: "Senior brother, I was so excited when I recognized you. I'm your follower..."

"Did you come here for sightseeing? When are you leaving?"

Jiang Yantian smiled upon hearing this.

Looking at her, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Seeing her again after so long always brings back memories of the past.

The woman before me had crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes, adding to her charming and lively appearance.

His appearance made him somewhat dazed.

"The changes are truly incredible," Jiang Yantian thought to himself.

I want to see her...you...purple.

"I'm here to have fun."

He suppressed his emotions and pointed to the bustling street outside the inn.

His voice was as gentle as ever: "By the way, what brings you here? Is this your home?"

The place he and Fu Ling came to was the Dongyue Dynasty in the Nine Provinces of the lower realm.

The Eastern Peak Dynasty and the Flame Sun Dynasty were far apart.

If he was from this region, how did he end up in the Yanyang Dynasty?

Zhongli Qingwan nodded hurriedly, her little head bobbing like a pestle being pounded.

"Yes, that's right! But not in this city. My home is in Dongyue Capital."

She paused, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she put her hands behind her back and lowered her head gently.

Her fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt, and the blush on her pretty face spread like the finest rouge.

"I was just thinking of finding an inn to stay at when I looked up and saw you, Senior Brother..."

Seeing her blushing and shy appearance, Jiang Yantian couldn't help but reach out and poke her pink cheeks.

"No, you can just talk, why are you blushing like a teapot?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think I did something to you."

Zhongli Qingwan's cheeks burned from the poking, and she shrank back like a ripe peach.

She covered her face with her hands, her voice as soft as cotton candy: "I'm just a little nervous because I haven't seen you in so long..."

Her toes lightly touched the ground, and the hem of her light blue skirt swayed in delicate arcs.

Like green bamboo swaying in the wind, even the stray hairs at her temples were tinged with red.

Jiang Yantian couldn't help but chuckle at her appearance and tapped her on the head.

"Alright, now that we've met, let's grab something to eat together."

"Since you're going to live here anyway, go upstairs and find my wife!"

"She's waiting for me upstairs, I can't keep her waiting."

Qingwan's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly lowered her hand, her blush still lingering on her face.

But he couldn't wait to follow Jiang Yantian up the stairs.

"I just saw my sister and I thought she was so beautiful, like a fairy in flames!"

Her tone was full of sincerity, pure curiosity and envy.

"You can't call her 'sister,' it messes up the generations. She's my wife. If you call her 'sister,' it's like you're my woman."

You can call her sister-in-law if you want.

"Oh, okay, but you're really beautiful and so gentle!" Zhongli Qingwan said again.

"Gentle?" Jiang Yantian just smiled and didn't say anything.

How could the Asura Queen, the Blood Sea Princess, possibly be gentle?

However, she's only gentle in front of herself.

If it were anyone else, and they didn't bleed after looking at her a few times, it would mean that her temper had improved.

As I reached the stairwell, I bumped into Fu Ling, who was leaning against the railing.

She held a steaming cup of tea in her hand, a faint smile in her phoenix eyes.

They had obviously overheard the conversation downstairs.

Upon seeing Zhongli Qingwan, she waved to her and said in a gentle voice, "Sister, come and sit down."

Zhongli Qingwan quickly stepped forward and gave a proper bow, her voice clear and crisp.

"Sister, there's nothing between my senior brother and me!"

Her ears were still red, but she tried her best to straighten her back.

It seemed she was afraid Fu Ling would misunderstand.

Fu Ling smiled and gestured for her to come over: "I'm not jealous, don't worry, I'm not thinking anything!"

Her gaze swept over Zhong Liqingwan's light blue skirt, then turned to Jiang Yantian.

With a hint of teasing in his eyes, he said, "Your junior sister is very cute."

Jiang Yantian shook his head helplessly: "She's so cute, like an egg waffle."

Zhongli Qingwan pouted, but did not refute.

He simply moved closer to Fu Ling and stared curiously at the teacup in her hand.

"Sister, this tea smells so good!"

Fu Ling handed her a teacup: "This is a special flower tea from my sister's family. Would you like to try some?"

Zhongli Qingwan nodded and carefully took a sip.

His eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

"What a unique tea! After taking a sip, I felt my blood warming up all over my body."

Her cheeks flushed even more with excitement.

Even the tone of his voice carried a hint of excitement.

"There's still a lot more. Come, sit down and have some tea. The shopkeeper has already sent over some things. Let's stay here today!"

“Mmm!” Zhongli Qingwan nodded emphatically.

She actually wanted to stay a little longer.

Moreover, he still had many questions for Jiang Yantian.

Many years have passed since we last met, and I do indeed have a lot of longing for you.

Jiang Yantian sat down next to Xue Haifu Ling and took the initiative to ask a question.

"Qingwan, what brings you here?"

As Jiang Yantian spoke, he casually remarked, "Seeing that you came alone, you're not here to find your Daoist partner, are you?"

Zhongli Qingwan shook her head: "No, Senior Brother, I was with two elders from the family. They went to investigate first, while I stayed here by myself!"

"Actually, I came to annul the engagement."

She said it bluntly.

"?"

Jiang Yantian was fiddling with his teacup with one hand when suddenly the cup was knocked over.

"Holy crap, wait a minute, let me ask you something first!"

Xue Haifu Ling and Zhongli Qingwan were both taken aback.

Why did Jiang Yantian suddenly react so strongly?

Jiang Yantian stood up and sat down next to Zhongli Qingwan.

He propped his cheek with one hand and placed the other on her shoulder: "You brought two elders here to annul the engagement."

"Furthermore, is the other party a good-for-nothing? Like, the kind of fallen genius?"

"He was very strong back then, but due to some events, his cultivation suddenly dissipated, and he became a rather useless young master?"

Zhongli Qingwan opened her mouth in surprise: "Senior brother, how did you know?"

She was incredulous; her prediction had come true.

Jiang Yantian clapped his hands: "Good heavens, really, you're planning to bring your family's experts over and just call off the engagement?"

"What if the other party doesn't agree?"

Zhong Liqing frowned slightly: "That won't do. You have to agree, even if you don't want to. I will compensate him."

“I’m actually not familiar with him. This was arranged by my family, but I didn’t want to.”

“When he first came back, my father kept saying that he was a genius and that he would definitely become a top expert in the future.”

"But I still disagree. Regardless of whether he becomes a top-tier expert in the future, I just don't like him, so I'm unwilling."

“My family had been keeping quiet about it and wouldn’t let me mention it, but since he was crippled, they no longer object to me breaking off the engagement.”

"So, I came here, and I also brought the family's treasure, the 'Yuanxin Fuling Pill,' as compensation for him. After he takes it, he can start cultivating again."

"He certainly has no reason to refuse to call off the engagement!"

Zhongli Qingwan spoke slowly.

I am very determined to annul the engagement.

Jiang Yantian wanted to laugh when he heard this.

He asked, "What's the other person's surname? Xiao? Hmm? Nalan, no, Qingwan!"

"Eh? Senior brother, how did you know that?" Zhongli Qingwan was very shocked.

My senior knows everything, he's amazing.

He truly deserves to be called the Divine Lord of Fengtian.
