Xiao Yan, Perhaps We Aren't Suited

The Central Plains Continent, the Qingyun Mountain Range.

Here, a renowned righteous sect of the world resides – the Qingyun Sect!

The Qingyun Sect boasts a long history.

Its origins can be traced back over two thousand years. The sect has seven peaks, with Tongtian Peak being the foremost. The sect leaders throughout history have all come from this peak.

At this moment.

Behind Grand Bamboo Peak.

The Tai Chi Cave.

It was night, and a gentle evening breeze blew.

Autumn leaves softly fell, scattering onto the shoulders of the young man and woman, expressing a silent sorrow.

"Xiao Yan..."

The red-clothed girl was slender and graceful.

Though not old, she already possessed the beauty of a young woman. Her jet-black hair was tied with a red ribbon, and around her impossibly slender waist was an amber silk sash.

"I feel like we're not quite suited for each other."

Tian Ling'er tightly clutched a Cooling Pearl in her hand. Her gaze flickered slightly, as if she dared not look at the young man before her.

Hearing this.

Wang Quan Yan remained silent.

The young man stood tall and straight. He stood calmly beside Tian Ling'er, his handsome face showing no hint of emotion. His deep, profound eyes were as still as a calm, ancient well.

"Swish!"

The long sword in Wang Quan Yan's hand trembled slightly.

Tian Ling'er saw that he wasn't speaking?

She became anxious for a moment.

"Xiao Yan, you've spent so many years and still haven't broken through to the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity. Now even Xiao Fan has caught up to you, you..."

Tian Ling'er wanted to say something.

But she ultimately considered Wang Quan Yan's pride and didn't utter the hurtful words, only sighing softly.

"I saw Senior Brother Qi Hao of Dragon Head Peak today."

Upon mentioning the name 'Qi Hao'.

Tian Ling'er's eyes sparkled.

"Senior Brother Qi is the chief disciple of Dragon Head Peak. His cultivation reached the Peak of Ninth Layer of Jade Purity Realm a long time ago. It's said he's also the foremost expert below Senior Brother Xiao of Tongtian Peak."

"Such cultivation? Such a foundation!"

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the foremost expert below the Supreme Purity Realm!"

"In the future."

"Senior Brother Qi will surely inherit Uncle Master Cangsong's mantle and become the next head of Dragon Head Peak. But you, Xiao Yan..."

"Sigh."

Tian Ling'er sighed softly.

She slightly raised her eyes.

Looking at the young man before her.

As if comparing him to Qi Hao?

"Heh—"

The young man spoke.

Wang Quan Yan looked calmly at the red-clothed girl before him, his gaze flicking to the Cooling Pearl in her hand, and sneered:

"So—"

"Qi Hao used a Cooling Pearl."

"And that's how he captured your heart?"

As soon as he said this.

Tian Ling'er's face instantly flushed red.

Was she angered? Or embarrassed?

After all.

No matter what.

She and Wang Quan Yan were engaged.

If she has a marriage engagement but her heart belongs to another man, isn't that infidelity?

Tsk.

Cheating.

For any woman, this is a humiliation.

"Wang Quan Yan!"

"Don't you spout nonsense!"

Tian Ling'er shouted coquettishly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan Yan looked at her calmly. "Whether I'm spouting nonsense or not, you know in your heart."

"You..."

Tian Ling'er's delicate body trembled.

"Enough."

Wang Quan Yan waved his hand gently.

He turned and walked into the Tai Chi Cave, saying without looking back, "Our engagement is hereby dissolved. From this day forward, we are strangers with only a senior and junior relationship. Senior Sister Tian—"

"Please leave."

"You..."

Tian Ling'er was stunned.

She stared blankly at Wang Quan Yan's retreating back, seemingly not expecting him to leave like this?

Just leave like that?

Could it be—

He didn't care about this so-called engagement?

Yes!

Wang Quan Yan didn't care at all!

Five years ago, he accidentally transmigrated to the Jade Dynasty world and was taken in as a disciple by Tian Buyi of Grand Bamboo Peak, a few months before Zhang Xiaofan.

On the day of his apprenticeship, Wang Quan Yan displayed astonishing cultivation talent.

On the very first night after receiving the 'Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao', he successfully cultivated to the first layer of Jade Purity, shaking the entire Qingyun Sect. For this, the Sect Leader, True Person Dao Xuan, personally visited Grand Bamboo Peak to see Wang Quan Yan...

However.

This was not the most surprising part.

After cultivating to the first layer of Jade Purity?

Wang Quan Yan's cultivation speed did not slow down. Within half a month of his apprenticeship, he broke through to the third layer of Jade Purity, just one step away from the true Qi-control realm!

Instantly, Qingyun was shaken!

The name 'Prodigy' of Wang Quan Yan resonated throughout the seven peaks of Qingyun.

Tian Buyi was so happy his mouth couldn't close.

He believed the prosperity of Grand Bamboo Peak rested on Wang Quan Yan, and because of this, he arranged a marriage engagement between his daughter, Tian Ling'er, and Wang Quan Yan.

But who would have thought—

Wang Quan Yan's subsequent cultivation speed was a huge disappointment.

He took half a month to break into the third layer of Jade Purity.

Was this cultivation speed fast?

Fast!

Rare in history!

Unprecedented!

However—

Wang Quan Yan's performance afterward made everyone dumbfounded. His cultivation stagnated for the next five years, stuck at the third layer of Jade Purity without any progress!

Five years!

A full five years!

He hadn't broken through to the fourth layer of Jade Purity!

Because of this.

The entire Qingyun Sect couldn't help but sigh.

Had the former prodigy's brilliance truly faded?

Tian Buyi had tried every method imaginable.

But he was still unable to help Wang Quan Yan break through to the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity, and gradually—

The Qingyun Sect forgot about him.

Tian Buyi was also greatly disappointed.

The world believed Wang Quan Yan had become a useless person.

However.

Was this truly the case?

Wang Quan Yan returned to the Tai Chi Cave.

Tian Ling'er's broken engagement hadn't hit him hard, as he had never cared about her from the start. After all—

He knew exactly what kind of person Tian Ling'er was.

If not for the sake of Tian Buyi and Su Ru?

He wouldn't even bother acknowledging her.

Moreover.

She could be easily swayed by Qi Hao with just a Cooling Pearl. What more could be said about such a person?

One could only wish them well—

May a bitch and a dog last forever.

Wang Quan Yan calmly sat cross-legged on the cushion, a golden divine sword resting across his lap.

Exquisite golden patterns adorned the sword's body.

They appeared incredibly intricate.

At the end of the hilt hung a golden sword tassel, and the sword guard was also engraved with the characters "Wang Quan."

It instantly conveyed the power and nobility it represented.

The Sovereign Sword!

This was Wang Quan Yan's innate divine sword!

It had been by his side ever since he transmigrated.

As for the origin of this sword?

Wang Quan Yan knew it very clearly.

In the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, the Sovereign Sword could be considered an Outer-Heaven Spiritual Treasure. It could absorb various demonic powers and magical energies, converting them for its own use, thereby feeding back to its wielder and unleashing immense power—

It was a sword of slaughter!

For the past five years?

The reason Wang Quan Yan's cultivation had stagnated was because all his cultivation and magical power had been used to nurture the Sovereign Sword. Now—

The five-year period had arrived?

It was time for him to reclaim all his cultivation!
