Engaged and Dumped at the Start? You Chose This!

"Where am I? Did I transmigrate?"

Inside the room, Jiang Mian slowly opened his eyes.

"Martial Soul Hall exists? It seems I've transmigrated into the same era as Tang San." As Jiang Mian absorbed the memories of the original host, he muttered to himself, "This body actually has Innate Full Spirit Power, and the Martial Soul is a Spirit Ball?"

"Yo, what's this? The young lady's pet dog has finally woken up?"

Just as Jiang Mian was focusing on studying his Martial Soul, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wearing a uniform suddenly walked up beside him.

The disciple sneered, "Tch, trying to use this kind of trick to get the young lady's attention? Even if you have Innate Full Spirit Power, it doesn't change the fact that you're just a dog by her side."

"You are the young lady's dog for a day, and you will be her dog for a lifetime."

"What do you mean by that!"

Jiang Mian looked at the disciple with a face full of rage. The parents of this body had died on the battlefield while protecting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi. That was why Ning Fengzhi had brought Jiang Mian to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and promised to marry his daughter, Ning Rongrong, to him.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Mian was nothing more than a matrilocal son-in-law—one without any dignity, as lowly as a servant.

Jiang Mian's eyes widened, and just as he was about to flare up, he heard Ning Rongrong's voice from outside. Her voice was elegant and cold: "Jiang Mian, come here."

Jiang Mian was confused. In his memories, this young lady had always ignored him; why was she acting so strangely today?

Currently, both Ning Rongrong and Jiang Mian had just awakened their Martial Souls. They were only six years old, and Ning Rongrong was the apple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's eye.

Ning Rongrong had been spoiled since childhood; she was arrogant, conceited, and haughty. Any negative descriptor applied to her current self would not be an exaggeration—she was a classic case of princess syndrome.

Jiang Mian didn't think much of it and stood up to walk out the door. The disciple still wouldn't let it go: "Look at that, truly the dog the young lady raised from a young age. Just a couple of calls and he's already wagging his tail and running over."

Jiang Mian laughed out of extreme anger. He grabbed the disciple by the throat and said coldly, "Do you want to die?"

"Let him go! What are you doing!" Seeing Jiang Mian's reaction, Ning Rongrong immediately scolded him, "His Martial Soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

Ning Rongrong's implication was obvious: he was a member of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and you, Jiang Mian, are nothing but a dog by my side—what right do you have to touch him!

"Fine, fine, fine." Jiang Mian threw the disciple to the ground and said coldly, "Ning Rongrong, are you satisfied now?"

"Is 'Ning Rongrong' something you can call me?" Ning Rongrong frowned and muttered to herself, "Forget it, forget it, it's only for this one time anyway."

"A house-raised dog acting so arrogant." The disciple continued to chatter, "If it weren't for the young lady's sake, I would really kill you!"

Jiang Mian ignored him with disdain. Ning Rongrong led Jiang Mian to the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The hall was unusually quiet, with only Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, sitting there.

"Jiang Mian, I am officially announcing here that I am breaking off our engagement." Ning Rongrong's voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by the three people present.

"Little Mian, although you have Innate Full Spirit Power and are a one-in-a-million genius, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Let's just consider the engagement over."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be your home. Even if the engagement is broken, we won't treat you harshly. Once you grow up, just assist Rongrong well." Gu Rong stood up and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely provide you with the best cultivation resources."

"Heh." Jiang Mian sneered. Ning Fengzhi had promised him these things years ago, but in the six years he had spent in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had suffered so many grievances and cold shoulders—had Ning Fengzhi ever cared?

Although it might be because Ning Fengzhi was rarely at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or perhaps the original host didn't want to trouble Ning Fengzhi with his own affairs.

He had thought things would improve after awakening his Martial Soul, but instead, he was met with Ning Rongrong calling off the engagement?

"Good, good, what a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!" Jiang Mian laughed in his fury: "Truly sanctimonious!"

"Presumptuous!" Gu Rong waved his hand, and an unrivaled pressure instantly knocked Jiang Mian to the ground: "When the Sect Master brought you back, it was an act of rebirth. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful!"

Ning Rongrong took a Divorce Letter and a box of cinnabar ink from her pocket and said haughtily, "Sign it quickly. I don't want to spend even a second more with you!"

"Fine!" Blood spilled from the corner of Jiang Mian's mouth. His eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to stand up, hooked the blood from his lip with his finger, and pressed his print onto the Divorce Letter!

"Stop!" A sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and a white-haired, blue-robed man arrived, flying on a sword.

This person was one of the two Supreme Elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, known in the spirit master world as the continent's number one attack-type Douluo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"Old Bone, Rongrong, what are you doing!" Sword Douluo said angrily, "Don't you know that Jiang Mian's parents saved Ning Fengzhi's life?"

"Sword Man, the debt of saving a life was repaid with the grace of raising him. We have raised this brat for so many years; his parents' life-saving grace has long been repaid." Gu Rong said calmly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can support this brat for a lifetime, and that will not dishonor his parents' kindness toward Fengzhi."

No matter what, Sword Douluo could not have imagined that he had only accompanied Ning Fengzhi on a long trip, and upon returning, they were on the verge of driving away the only genius with Innate Full Spirit Power in the sect.

Chen Xin had a very good impression of Jiang Mian. Innate Full Spirit Power—although the strange Martial Soul he awakened hadn't shown much use, Innate Full Spirit Power alone was proof that the grade of this Martial Soul was definitely not low.

"The three of you are putting on a show, do you really take me for a fool?" Jiang Mian cursed angrily: "A bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites! Do you really think I have no way to survive without your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Scoundrel, who gave you the nerve!" Gu Rong reached out to strike Jiang Mian, but Sword Douluo quickly blocked him.

"Jiang Mian, things have come to this, so let's cancel the marriage between you and Rongrong. But you can stay in my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I will do my best to cultivate you." Sword Douluo turned his head and said.

"In your dreams!" Jiang Mian tried to push Sword Douluo away, but he was only a six-year-old child; how could he possibly move a level 96 Sword Douluo?

"Sword Man, I told you he was an ungrateful wolf." Gu Rong gritted his teeth: "Since he wants to leave, let him get lost. We have already done all we could!"

"No, the child is still young and doesn't understand," Sword Douluo said in a deep voice, "Besides, we are in the wrong here."

"Stop with the hypocrisy." Jiang Mian said coldly, "From this moment on, I, Jiang Mian, have no further connection with your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Before the words had even faded, Jiang Mian had already turned and left.

Watching his departing back, Sword Douluo wanted to say something but stopped, only able to turn around and look angrily at Bone Douluo, who was comforting Ning Rongrong.

"Old Bone, do you know what a disaster you've caused? Little Mian had Innate Full Spirit Power. You've driven him away—let's see how you explain this when the Sect Master returns."

To Sword Douluo's questioning, Bone Douluo was indifferent.

What did Innate Full Spirit Power matter? If his own Rongrong didn't like him, no one could force her.

Bone Douluo beckoned with his hand.

Several spirit masters dressed as scholars emerged from the shadows of the hall, speaking in unison: "Elder, we have already recorded what just transpired. Naturally, we understand the rules."

"Mm." Bone Douluo waved his hand, and the spirit masters departed one after another.

"Old Bone, how have you become like this? Even if Ning Rongrong doesn't like Jiang Mian, we could have discussed it properly. What benefit is there for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in driving away someone with Innate Full Spirit Power?"

Hearing her Sword Grandpa defending Jiang Mian, Ning Rongrong suddenly buried herself in Bone Douluo's arms and began to wail: "Sword Grandpa is mean! Rongrong just doesn't like Jiang Mian!"

"Don't cry, Rongrong. How about Bone Grandpa makes the call for you?"

Those people from before had already recorded everything, painting Jiang Mian as arrogant and ungrateful. Once they spread these accounts tomorrow, Jiang Mian's good reputation would be thoroughly finished.

"Rongrong..." Looking at Ning Rongrong nestled in Bone Douluo's arms, Sword Douluo ultimately swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

As things stood, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had thoroughly offended Jiang Mian. If it could be salvaged, they certainly should try their best; after all, he was a genius with Innate Full Spirit Power.

Throughout the history of the entire continent, there had been no more than a hundred geniuses with Innate Full Spirit Power.

Of course, if Jiang Mian truly harbored a grudge against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect because of this, then to prevent the sect from facing a formidable enemy in the future, even if he were unwilling, Sword Douluo would have no choice but to...

Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Jiang Mian used the money he had saved over the years to buy a carriage, rushing toward the Star Dou Great Forest without a moment's rest. As long as he possessed power, he would never be humiliated by anyone again.

However, from the moment Jiang Mian bought the carriage, he felt as if someone were watching him from behind, making the hair on his body stand on end and leaving him feeling extremely uneasy.
