Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 13: Breaking Off the Engagement

  "Mr. Lu laughed, and Fei Fei really wanted to see Mr. Lu's true face, I wonder if it's possible?" Yun Fei Fei said with a charming smile to Yue Cheng, the deep cleavage on her chest intentionally or unintentionally swaying in front of Yue Cheng's eyes. From his voice, she felt that Yue Cheng was not very old, so she wanted to pull him in even more tightly. At such a young age, he was already a fourth-grade alchemist, definitely a person with extremely good talent, and it was highly likely that he would advance to fifth-grade, sixth-grade, or even seventh-grade high-level alchemist in the future. Then she would be set for life.

  "I'm afraid I look a bit too unconventional, might scare the young lady, better wear this bamboo hat." Yue Cheng replied softly, still unable to reveal his true identity for the time being, lest he invite trouble.

  Yun FeiFei knew that Yue Cheng was making excuses, but she also didn't want to continue asking questions and risk offending him, so it would be better to just drop the matter.

  Not long after, the old man in grey walked in, still holding a spatial storage bag, which had already been equipped with all the items that Yue Cheng needed.

  "Mr. Lu, here are all the items you wanted, not a single one missing. We can settle the account after the auction." Yun Feifei handed the spatial storage bag to Yue Cheng.

  "Thank you, I'll be there on time." Yue Cheng took over the spatial storage bag from Yun Feifei's hand.

  "Mr. Lu, keep this waist card safe, you'll need it to enter the auction later." Yun Feifei handed another golden palm-sized waist card to Yue Cheng, which was a precious waist card of Yuanbao Sect's VIP level that ordinary people couldn't get.

  Yue Cheng took over the golden waist card from Yun Feifei's hand and immediately left Yuanbao Sect under the leadership of the gray-robed old man.

  "Chen Zhi Shi, judging from what you've seen, what's the background of this Mr. Lu?" Yun Fei Fei asked the gray-robed old man as he returned to the room after seeing off Yue Cheng.

  "Miss Yun, this person is probably not very old and doesn't show his true face, possibly because he doesn't want to be recognized. In my opinion, he's definitely not surnamed Lu, and it's likely that he hasn't been here for long." Chen Zhi replied quietly.

  "When he comes again next time, be sure to inform me in time and treat him as a noble guest." Yun Fei Fei smiled slightly. A young fourth-grade alchemist could not afford to offend him. If the other party helped the Yun family slightly in the future, the Yun family would gain benefits that were difficult to estimate.

  Yue Cheng left Yuan Bao Zong and quickly found a secluded place to change out of his black clothes, putting on a cyan long shirt. In three months, it would be the auction, at that time he must come to experience it for himself. These three months, he should first refine the flying sword and the Illusory Formation before doing anything else.

  Just as Yue Cheng was on his way back to the Yue family, a group of over a dozen people arrived at the Yue residence. These individuals all looked arrogant and had extraordinary abilities. Yue Zishan and Yue Zipeng, the two main members of the Yue family, along with several second-generation members of the Yue family, had already received news and were waiting in the living room. Feng Shu and Su Xiner also arrived at the living room.

  Everyone sat down, and the servant of the Yue family had already brought up some tea and snacks. Looking at the group of people who came, the faces of Yue Zishan and Yue Zipeng both changed slightly, what was supposed to come has finally arrived. Fortunately, Yue Cheng went out and was not at home, otherwise this child would not know how to face them.

  There were twelve people in total, with an old man in a green robe and a middle-aged Han Chinese man about the same age as Yuezi Shan sitting at the front. There was also a stunningly beautiful young girl wearing a pink long dress, who should be around the same age as Su Xiner.

  Among the three, there were nine robust men dressed in Han attire. The expressions of the crowd seemed to be disdainful of the Yue family. Among these people, Yue Zishan only recognized the middle-aged man who was about his age and that stunningly beautiful young girl.

  "Brother Yue, let me introduce you. This is the guardian of Qingyang Gate, and the ones below are all disciples of Qingyang Gate." The middle-aged man stood up to introduce the crowd to Yue Zishan, his expression somewhat awkward and guilty.

  Yuezi Mountain gazed slightly at the people who came, he had already guessed the identity of the visitors. His face was always strong and suppressing his anger, the person who just spoke was called Yi Peng, thirty years ago they were still good brothers until a few years ago, their relationship changed, and that beautiful girl was his daughter, also Yue Cheng's fiancée Yi Qian.

  Seventeen years ago, when Yue Cheng's mother was pregnant with him, Yi Peng's wife was also pregnant with Yi Qian. The two families agreed that if both children were boys, they would become sworn brothers; if both were girls, they would become sworn sisters; but if one was a boy and the other a girl, they would be married to continue the friendship between the Yi and Yue families.

  Who would have thought that the two families would give birth to a boy and a girl? At first, both families were very happy, but later, Yue Cheng was born unable to practice internal energy and magic, nor could he become an alchemist. On the other hand, Yi Qian was favored by Qingyang Gate from a young age and showed exceptional talent in internal energy cultivation, even being taken as a personal disciple by the gate master, with great hopes of becoming the future gate master of Qingyang Gate.

  At this time, Qingyang Gate learned about Yiqian's engagement and notified the Yi family to cancel the marriage. Yi Peng, for his daughter's future and under the pressure of Qingyang Gate, could only agree. Yiqian also heard about Yuecheng's situation and naturally agreed with the sect's approach. A useless person is not worthy of oneself.

  Although Yue Zishan was burning with anger in his heart, the woman ran to the man's home and demanded a divorce. This is simply a great insult, but Yue Zishan did not dare to get angry. For the entire Yue family, he could only hold back the anger in his heart.

  Their strength is not something that a small family like the Yue's can match. Just the old man in front of them, wearing a green robe, is already beyond what Yue Zishan can handle. That old man has the cultivation level of the Seven Star Fighting King, and the disciples behind him are all at the Douling level, only slightly weaker than him. Moreover, they have the backing of the massive Qingyang Gate, so even if there were a hundred families like the Yue's now, they still wouldn't be able to match them.

  "I don't know why Brother Yi has come today." Yue Zishan suppressed his anger and asked with feigned ignorance.

  "This... younger brother today..." Looking at Yue Zishan's expression, Yi Peng really didn't dare to say it out loud. As for the divorce, he actually wasn't too willing, and neither was the entire Yi family. It was just that under the pressure of Qingyang Gate, and also because Yi Qian wasn't willing either, so he had no choice.

  "We came here today to help Yiqian and Yuecheng get a divorce." The old man in the green robe, Lieshan, saw that Yipeng was hesitating, so he interrupted him and coldly said to Yuezishan, "How can a declining family like yours be worthy of the master's direct disciple? This is a loss of face for Qingyangmen."
