The words of the Chu family's envoy hit the ground with a resounding echo.
The atmosphere in the entire room instantly beca quiet.
Xin Wan'en's face turned pale as she stood frozen.
After years of companionship, Ye Yu had long understood that while his master, Xin Wan'en, had extraordinary talent in cultivation, her personality was too gentle.
She had no firm opinions on many matters.
Now that the Xin family’s patriarch had passed away and the main mbers had all died in battle, the once fragnted family had beco sothing she could no longer face.
Now, in this mont of complete isolation, the news of the marriage annulnt ca.
It was, without a doubt, a slap to the Xin family's face!
However, Xin Wan'en didn’t actually care about the marriage.
What struck her was the fact that the Chu family had fallen so quickly to take advantage of the situation.
In the underworld, there are no walls that don’t leak information.
The union of the two families had been a huge public event at the ti.
Therefore, when the Xin family was annulled, many people would soon hear about it.
At that point, the Xin family would beco a laughingstock!
Looking at the desolate scene outside, Xin Wan'en felt a deep sense of grievance.
Father, I can’t hold on much longer!
Seeing that Xin Wan'en had remained silent, the Chu family envoy, Chu Huan, thought that she might not want to call off the engagent, so he softly said: “Miss Xin, this matter is already settled. Don’t waste your efforts thinking about how to preserve the marriage.”
“My lord of the Chu family has said that we will not take the bride price we sent earlier. Consider it our help to get the Xin family through the difficult tis.”
“But that’s it. The Chu and Xin families will no longer have any connections.”
“My lord of the Chu family is a true genius, one who will beco a prominent figure in the entire underworld in the future. He cannot marry a re ghost with cultivation in the Transformation God realm.”
“Face reality.”
Hearing these words, Xin Wan'en’s eyes reddened, unsure of what to do.
She wanted to refute but felt her mind in turmoil, unable to co up with a response.
Chu Huan flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.
At that mont, Ye Yu suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"
Chu Huan and another envoy, Chu Xi, turned back.
With a cold voice, he asked, "What? Does the Xin family have sothing to relay to us?"
“If you do, please be quick. We have other matters to attend to.”
Ye Yu stepped forward and pressed the marriage annulnt letter onto the table.
He spoke seriously: “This marriage was already ant to be annulled. Go back and tell your family head, after three years, both my master, Xin Wan'en, and I will personally co to return the bride price to the Chu family.”
Chu Huan and Chu Xi’s expressions were odd.
They had originally planned to leave early, not wanting to face the Xin family’s insistence on not annulling the marriage.
But unexpectedly, Xin Wan'en hadn’t said a word, and yet this ghost—Ye Yu—spoke so bluntly, even wanting to return the Chu family's bride price.
This was no small amount of money.
Chu Huan imdiately asked: "Who are you from the Xin family? Are your words reliable?"
Ye Yu spoke in a deep voice: “My na is Ye Yu, and the current head of the Xin family, Xin Wan'en, is my master. What I say naturally counts!”
Though he wasn’t sure what his disciple was trying to do, Ye Yu knew that Xin Wan'en, having watched him grow, understood that he wouldn’t speak recklessly.
So, she too spoke for him: "That's right, what he says is as good as what I say!"
Chu Xi raised three fingers.
“So, three years from today, the bride price will be returned in full?”
Ye Yu nodded: “In three years, I will personally go with my master to the Chu family and give you an explanation!”
Chu Huan and Chu Xi left the Xin family with increasingly satisfied smiles.
In truth, they were still skeptical about Ye Yu’s words.
Given the current state of the Xin family, what could they possibly return from the Chu family’s bride price?
Those things had probably long been consud by the deceased patriarch of the Xin family.
But after a second thought, they suddenly realized that Ye Yu’s actions were quite reasonable.
The Xin family was currently in such a dilapidated state.
Xin Wan'en only had cultivation in the early stages of the Transformation God realm.
If forr enemies ca to take °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° revenge, they would have no way to stop them.
They would naturally need a shield to protect what was left of the Xin family.
Perhaps Xin Wan'en wanted to use the bride price as an excuse to gain protection from the Chu family.
When they thought about it carefully, this possibility seed quite high.
Moreover, no matter what, their mission had been completed—they had annulled the marriage and gotten a promise for a three-year delay.
Perhaps after returning, they might even receive a reward!
With that, Chu Huan and Chu Xi’s smiles grew even brighter as they hurried back.
anwhile, in the main hall of the Xin family, Xin Wan'en asked in confusion: "Yu'er, why did you say that just now?"
“I don’t even know what the Chu family’s bride price is. It was all collected by the old patriarch.”
“Then, how are we going to return it?”
Ye Yu showed a playful smile and tore the annulnt letter in his hand.
“Master, since you don’t know what the Chu family’s bride price is, then let’s return them an annulnt letter!”
“In three years, let the whole underworld know. It was you, Xin Wan'en, who called off the marriage with the Chu family.”
“Not the Chu family calling off the marriage with the Xin family!”
“Master, rise! Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank, never underestimate a poor female ghost!”
“The trend of marriage annulnt in the underworld should beco the new wave!”
Xin Wan'en’s expression beca increasingly strange.
At first, she could understand the first part of what Ye Yu said, but when it ca to the phrases like "Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank" or "marriage annulnt trends," she really didn’t understand a thing.
"Yu'er, could you be talking nonsense?"
However, the idea of letting the entire underworld know that it was she, Xin Wan'en, who had annulled the marriage with the Chu family sounded very domineering.
If it could be realized, it would indeed be very satisfying.
It would also help recover the Xin family’s dignity to the greatest extent.
But with the current situation, actually achieving that seed as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Xin Wan'en couldn’t help but sigh softly.
She spoke quietly: "Yu'er, I might disappoint you."
"You’ve probably heard the rumors. My soul foundation has been damaged, and perhaps I will be stuck in the Transformation God realm for the rest of my life!"
Ye Yu took a step forward, grabbed Xin Wan'en’s delicate hand, and began inspecting her.
With great excitent, he said: "Master, I believe you won’t disappoint ."
"As the saying goes, the harder you press, the higher it bounces."
"With three layers of buffs, I don’t believe you won’t bounce back."
"Now, even if you tell you can’t suppress the entire underworld, I’d believe it."
"No, let’s aim higher—let’s break through!"
