Chapter 58 - Don’t Bully a Poor Young Man

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The bright red clothes were like a ball of fire, attracting everyone’s eyes. It was as if their eyes would get burned if they looked at the red clothes more.

Even more eye-catching than this color was the beautiful and exquisite face. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and she was really stunning to the extreme. It was no wonder that many young talents at the banquet were attracted to such a female genius.

“So this is the Su family’s young lady, Su Qingyun. I didn’t expect her to be so graceful and charming.”

Everyone was full of praise, “With such talent, looks, strength, and family background, it’s a pity to be with the Lin family’s young master.”

Although Lin Yuanheng was also good-looking, and the two of them looked like a perfect couple, his strength was low. Therefore, it was inevitable that people would feel like the marriage was putting new wine into old bottles.

“These two don’t match at all other than their family backgrounds.”

“Lower your voice. Now that the main character is here, do you want others to hear you?”

Even though the crowd was whispering among themselves, the people present were all cultivators with sharp ears and eyes. How could they not hear? The Lin family patriarch’s face darkened, but he did not make a sound.

“Niece Su, you’re finally here. By the way, where are the others?”

Patriarch Lin looked at the door and saw that Su Qingyun was alone. The other members of the Su family were nowhere to be seen. This scene did not seem like an engagement. Coupled with the fact that she had arrived late, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

“I can do it alone,” Su Qingyun said expressionlessly.

The Lin family patriarch shook his head in disagreement, “Although it’s an engagement now, it’s also a matter of life. I’ve discussed it with your father…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Qingyun interrupted him, “Patriarch Lin has made a mistake. I’m here to break off the engagement.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar. Compared to everyone’s shock, Ye Xuan was extremely calm, “It’s indeed the familiar trend of breaking off an engagement.”

Alchemy King Gu Xi was confused, “What do you mean?”

Ye Xuan’s expression was unfathomable, “It can only be understood but not explained.”

At this moment, the Lin family patriarch stood up from his chair in anger, “What! Your Su family wants to break off the engagement?” He looked at Su Qingyun with a dark expression.

Facing the Lin family patriarch’s gaze, Su Qingyun’s face was filled with indifference, “That’s right.”

“Do you know that this marriage was set by the two ancestors? Your Su family actually broke the contract publicly, disgracing our Lin family?”

What angered Patriarch Lin the most was that the Su family had long had the intention to break the promise but now only they told the truth.

Under everyone’s eyes, this humiliation was like a resounding slap in the Lin family’s face. The Su family looked down on them.

Su Qingyun’s face was filled with guilt, “My father wanted to mention it long ago, but the Lin family acted too fast and didn’t give us a chance to react.”

The Lin family patriarch was so angry that he laughed, “According to what you’re saying, it’s our Lin family who is in the wrong.”

Her words made it seem as if their Lin family was insistent on this marriage, which was really ear-piercing to the extreme.

“I dare not, but Young Master Lin and I are not on the same path. I offer this as an apology, and I hope you can accept it.”

Su Qingyun opened the bottle cap, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted in the air. She poured out a few dark green pills, which were obviously extremely precious.

Alchemy King Gu Xi’s eyes lit up, “What a perfect Marrow Cleansing Pills. I wonder who refined them.”

Even he had said so. So one could imagine that the pills were good things. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was uninterested. So what if it was a perfect Marrow Cleansing Pill? How could it be compared to a supreme-grade one?

“But it can’t completely restore Lin Yuanheng’s foundation. It needs to be of the supreme grade, but the supreme-grade pill formula had long been lost. Those on market are incomplete…”

Ye Xuan was in disbelief, “What did you just say? Repairing Lin Yuanheng’s foundation requires supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill?”

“That’s right. Even if there’s a pill formula, some of the ancient spiritual plants don’t even exist anymore. It’s extremely hard to refine.”

Ye Xuan had a lot of supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills, and he could even give them to Lin Yuanheng to eat like candy.

Lin Yuanheng, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, “Do you think that our Lin family will care about a few mere medicinal pills?”

Su Qingyun couldn’t even be bothered to look at her fiancé, “They can repair part of your foundation. You don’t want to be a waste for the rest of your life, do you?”

Lin Yuanheng clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his hands were popping out, “I don’t want your things. Take your pills and get lost.”

Su Qingyun had always been a genius and was treated with respect wherever she went. When she heard Lin Yuanheng’s impolite words, the little bit of guilt in her heart disappeared.

“What? You’re still engaging in wishful thinking? If I were you, I would give up this marriage voluntarily instead of asking for humiliation here!”

Su Qingyun threw the bottle at Lin Yuanheng’s feet. The contempt and disdain in her words and actions were like a hot slap in his face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

No one would be able to endure such a great humiliation, let alone a former genius.

How could the Lin family patriarch take such a big blow? He was about to attack regardless of his status, but he held himself back, “Silly girl, don’t blame me for being rude if you dare to speak so arrogantly again.”

Su Qingyun’s face was completely fearless, “Patriarch Lin, I come to apologize because I respect you as an elder. However, don’t take advantage of your seniority. This marriage is clearly wrong. Are you trying to force me?”

The Su family seemed to be rational. It was clear that they were in the wrong in this matter. Not to mention the Lin family, even Ye Xuan felt uncomfortable hearing this as an outsider.

“Every dog will have his day. Don’t bully a poor young man!”

Everyone thought that it was Lin Yuanheng who said it, but who knew that he was also shocked?
