“The Seventh Prince is here? To break off the engagement?” Xu Yuman’s pale face turned even whiter, with no trace of blood to be found.
Xiao Baihao gritted his teeth in anger, the veins on his face turned his entire head iron-blue. He clenched his fists tightly and the violent blue tendons were clearly visible on the back of his hands. The Seventh Prince had gone too far in bullying them!
Compared to her parents’ shock and fury, Xiao Qianhan looked calm. She secretly swore to herself that whoever insulted her and her family today, would have to pay back for what they have done! She would not let anyone off!
The room returned to a silence filled with hopelessness.
Xu Yuman tried to suppress her emotions and sobbed silently.
“It just so happens that I do not wish to marry him anymore. However, is this an engagement he thinks he can call and break off whenever he wants? It is easy for him to arrange this engagement, but does he think he can break it off as easily as he wishes?” Xiao Qianhan spoke by slightly moving her lower lips. No trace of emotion was heard when she spoke since she sounded so calm.
Because she opened her mouth and spoke, the wounds on her face and lips were once again being pulled and torn. The hysterical pain reminded Xiao Qianhan clearly about the cruel things Murong Ce and Xiao Yuluo did to her!
“Qianhan, please don’t do anything silly. Both the Seventh Prince and Xiao Yuluo have already entered the Palm Mystic Realm, especially Xiao Yuluo, she is already halfway through the Palm Mystic Realm. They are not people we can afford to offend. If… If…” Xu Yuman looked at Xiao Baihao helplessly while wiping her tears. If her husband hadn’t been set up by others, he would already have entered Palm Mystic Realm, no one would have stood a chance to insult them.
It’s a pity… It’s a pity… God’s injustice allowed evil-doers to do harm to my husband.
Following Xu Yuman’s gaze, Xiao Qianhan looked at the Xiao Baihao who remained silent. He didn’t say a word, but Xiao Qianhan could clearly feel his anger, despair, and decadence. He used to be a genius who had surprised the world with his talents, even Xiao Yuluo was no match to him. Who would have imagined that he would become a useless trash that was ridiculed by everyone in less than a couple of decades?
Xiao Baihao clenched his fists even tighter, blood could be seen seeping slightly through his fingers.
“Mother, I have experienced life and death and I value my life more than anyone else now. Therefore, Mother doesn’t need to worry about me. I will not let anyone else have the chance to hurt me again. It’s just that… I know what I can do with regards to what happened today, so don’t worry, Mother. Also…”
Xiao Qianhan looked at Xiao Baihao and secretly decided to herself that no matter what means she would have to use in the future, she would let her father regain his prestige and respect in the future! “Father, please rest well.”
Xiao Baihao opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qianhan in astonishment. He could clearly feel that she had changed. She no longer cowered in fear and inferiority. Instead, she became strong, firm and fearless.
The servant’s arrogant urging could be heard from outside the door again.
“Second Master, the Seventh Prince has taken his precious time off his busy schedule to come and break the engagement. Even if you guys are unwilling to break the engagement, you can’t be obvious about it, right? Nothing will change even if you drag the time!”
Xiao Qianhan’s eyes turned cold and dark like a bottomless pit.
What a group of ‘dedicated and loyal’ servants!
…
The grand hall of the Xiao Clan.
The architecture was of majestic grandeur and ageless splendor. Its pillars were made using sandalwood of the highest quality and crystal jades were being used as lights. In the middle of the hall, hung a huge and luminous Bright Moon Pearl, which was shining gloriously as if it was the real moon.
The Xiao Clan was a large and highly reputable clan for hundreds of years. It was one of the four major clans in the Purple Moon Kingdom. Although it’s status was not as high as that of Cloud Extreme Sect who had a presence more revered than the royal clan in the Purple Moon Kingdom, the Xiao Clan’s status was still out of reach and unmatchable by many clans in the kingdom.
The current clan head was Xiao Hongyan, who was Xiao Baihao’s father, Xiao Qianhan’s grandfather.
Many people had gathered in the hall, making it very crowded.
“The Seventh Prince is a rare genius who is hard to come by, while Xiao Qianhan is a piece of useless trash. She is not worthy of marrying His Highness!” Someone echoed angrily.
