Jiang Chen was together with his parents.
The atmosphere was now quite relaxed.
Hearing his mother’s question, Jiang Chen found it difficult to explain everything.
He finally just ca up with an excuse. "Actually, I secretly took on a master who taught many mysterious Cultivation Techniques."
"My master won’t let tell anyone, not even my family."
"Using the Cultivation Techniques my master gave , my Cultivation has recovered in the last two days. It’s even improved."
He wasn’t trying to deceive his parents, but so secrets belonged to him alone and couldn’t be revealed.
So he gave them an answer they couldn’t question further.
Xiao Yun and Jiang Han could only give wry smiles.
"Son, if that’s the case, then all that matters is that you’re okay."
"I knew you’d be fine. The heavens always look after the worthy."
Jiang Han also made sure the clansn didn’t spread the news, keeping it a secret instead.
Although it was bound to be revealed sooner or later.
However, Jiang Han was still extrely unwilling to let the matter rest.
He said to Jiang Chen, "Son, I have sothing to say."
Jiang Chen nodded, gesturing for his father to continue.
Jiang Han glanced at his wife, Xiao Yun, then said grimly, "Since your Martial Vein was stolen by your fiancée, Qin Muxue, a woman with such a venomous heart is no longer fit to be our daughter-in-law."
"In my opinion, we should break off this engagent to prevent endless future trouble."
He was speaking the truth. Now that they knew Qin Muxue’s character, insisting on such a daughter-in-law would undoubtedly bring endless disaster and could even cause great harm to the Jiang Family.
After he finished speaking, the couple both looked at Jiang Chen.
After all, Jiang Chen had genuinely loved Qin Muxue.
So, they still had to ask for their son’s opinion.
Of course, even if Jiang Chen disagreed, they would still find a way to break off the engagent.
A chill grew in Jiang Chen’s heart.
’Qin Muxue must receive the punishnt she deserves.’
He shook his head and said, "Father, Mother, just breaking the engagent? That’s letting her off too easily."
"I’m going to the Qin Family in Guyue City to annul the marriage myself."
Just breaking the engagent was indeed letting Qin Muxue off too easily.
Jiang Chen was going to annul his marriage to Qin Muxue.
Annulnt and breaking an engagent were two very different things.
With a single writ of annulnt from Jiang Chen, Qin Muxue’s reputation would be in tatters.
Of course, he would also make Qin Muxue pay the price.
Jiang Han and Xiao Yun both agreed.
"Good! That’s my son. Our Jiang Family cannot let the Qin Family off so easily."
"That woman... our Jiang Family must be the ones to cast her out."
The three of them ca to an agreent.
Just then, a clansman suddenly ran in to report.
"Patriarch, soone from the Qin Family of Guyue City is here. They say it’s an important matter."
Hearing this, the three of them were surprised.
They had just been talking about the Qin Family, and now soone from the Qin Family had actually arrived.
All three were very curious about the visitor’s purpose.
Jiang Han nodded. "Alright, I understand. I’ll head to the main family hall imdiately."
Then he said to Jiang Chen, "Son, let’s go. We’ll see what business the Qin Family has with us."
The three of them headed straight for the main hall.
anwhile, in a reception hall of the Jiang Family residence, sat an exquisitely beautiful woman in a goose-yellow long dress. Her figure was graceful and alluring, and she was exceptionally pretty.
She sat in the hall, a hint of seductive charm on her face.
She had the very look of a fem fatale.
She asked impatiently, "What’s the aning of this? Is your Patriarch going to see or not?"
"My ti is precious. It’s not sothing your Jiang Family can afford to waste."
The Jiang Family mbers were all a little intimidated by the woman.
They all knew her identity: she was the Patriarch’s son’s fiancée, Qin Muxue.
How could they dare to slight her?
A servant hurriedly explained, "Eldest Miss Qin, please wait a mont. Our Patriarch will be here shortly."
Qin Muxue snorted.
She rolled her eyes.
’In his current state, Jiang Chen is nothing but a cripple.’
’His Martial Vein is gone. I have the perfect reason to break off the engagent.’
As for how Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein was stolen, Qin Muxue knew very well.
But she believed that with Jiang Chen’s intellect, he would never suspect it had anything to do with her, Qin Muxue.
’I looked down on you even when your Martial Vein wasn’t destroyed, let alone now that you’re just a cripple.’
’A good-for-nothing who’ll probably end up dead at the hands of your own clansn one day.’
Qin Muxue was utterly disdainful.
In any case, she was sure no one else knew she was the mastermind behind it all, so she had brazenly co to the Jiang Family.
Her goal was to break off the engagent.
Just as her patience was wearing thin, a mber of the Jiang Family finally walked in.
"Eldest Miss Qin, our Patriarch has arrived at the main hall. Please co with ."
Qin Muxue stood up.
However, she turned and spoke with great respect to an old man standing beside her, who was leaning on a black cane.
"Elder Resentnt, I’ll have to trouble you this ti."
Elder Resentnt nodded.
"Rest assured, Miss Muxue. With here, breaking the engagent will be a simple matter."
His tone was filled with confidence.
Qin Muxue knew that despite Elder Resentnt’s aged appearance, he was an expert with an extrely powerful Cultivation, a Martial King First Heaven.
She had brought such a figure to back her up because she was worried the Jiang Family wouldn’t agree to break the engagent. That’s why she had invited such a powerful expert to co along.
By doing this, Qin Muxue showed she was determined to break the engagent no matter what.
Imdiately, Elder Resentnt and Qin Muxue walked side-by-side toward the Jiang Family’s main hall.
Following behind them were eight n in black with profound Cultivation. Each one had at least a Warrior Cultivation, and there were even Martial Artists among them.
All of them were experts from the Qin Family of Guyue City.
In the Jiang Family’s main hall, many of the family’s experts had already gathered.
This included the Patriarch, Jiang Han, as well as Jiang n, Jiang Gan, and a crowd of other Jiang Family mbers.
They were all quite curious about this visit from the Qin Family.
However, the Qin Family were, after all, the family of Jiang Chen’s fiancée.
So they were still given a grand reception.
Jiang Han sat in the Patriarch’s seat, his expression sowhat grim.
He waited for the Qin Family mbers.
"Eldest Miss Qin has arrived!"
Suddenly, a clansman’s voice echoed from outside the hall.
Everyone focused their attention and looked over.
Their eyes widened one by one.
They saw a stunningly beautiful woman walking into the main hall side-by-side with an old man, followed by eight experts in black.
Everyone’s gaze was imdiately drawn to the woman.
"Qin Muxue."
"Heavens, it’s Jiang Chen’s fiancée."
"What is his fiancée doing here?"
Every mber of the Jiang Family recognized the newcor as Jiang Chen’s fiancée, Qin Muxue.
Because Qin Muxue was indeed born strikingly beautiful and captivating.
Many of the younger generation Jiang Family n with weaker self-control found their eyes glued to her.
It seed as if the woman possessed a strange, inexplicable allure that made people unconsciously stare at her.
When Jiang Han saw it was Qin Muxue, his face turned cold.
However, after looking at Qin Muxue, everyone in the Jiang Family then turned their gazes to Jiang Chen, who was sitting off to one side, draped in a large coat and half-reclining in a chair, looking drowsy.
Everyone knew that Jiang Chen was deeply infatuated with Qin Muxue.
He had given many of the Jiang Family’s treasures to Qin Muxue to win her affection.
But now, upon seeing Qin Muxue, Jiang Chen showed no reaction at all, even looking completely listless.
Qin Muxue’s gaze swept across the Jiang Family mbers, and soon, she noticed that Jiang Chen was also in the main hall.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s half-dead appearance, she felt even more contemptuous.
’Just as I thought, a complete waste.’
She couldn’t even be bothered to look at Jiang Chen again.
She strode straight to the center of the main hall.
