As You Wish, Agreeing to Break the Engagement

"You…"

Before Liu Ruyan could say anything.

The oppressive aura pressed in from all directions, making Liu Ruyan tremble and her back go cold.

Damn simps, how dare he treat me like this.

Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically.

A hint of anger immediately appeared on her fair cheeks.

She quickly mobilized all her strength, attempting to resist Qin Anlan's pressure.

Discovering that all her resistance was in vain.

An inexplicable rage began to rise within Liu Ruyan.

It had been so long since anyone had dared to treat her with such an attitude.

Qin Anlan, that damned simp, he used to obey my every word, groveling all the time.

Was it because I was too nice to him, making Qin Anlan forget his place?

Or has Qin Anlan gone mad?

A hint of confusion appeared in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

If it were in the past.

Upon seeing her arrival, Qin Anlan would have bowed and greeted her with a smile.

Buzzing around her like a fly.

But now.

The other party had taken the wrong medicine, daring to use his aura to pressure her.

With her mind in disarray, Liu Ruyan became even more pathetic.

She stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

In pain, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but let out a delicate cry.

Qin Anlan's face remained indifferent as he secretly withdrew the surrounding pressure.

With his hands behind his back, his eyes carried an aura of invincibility.

He quietly looked at Liu Ruyan, who had fallen to the ground, as if she were a clown.

"This Young Lord asks you, why did you trespass into my Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate?"

"You… you…"

Sensing that the oppressive aura had vanished into thin air, the disheveled Liu Ruyan supported herself and got up.

Her pale face held a hint of unwillingness and undisguised anger.

Tu Xiu, standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded.

His eyes were filled with shock.

This was replaced by a hint of pleasant surprise.

As Qin Anlan's top subordinate.

Tu Xiu handled many of Qin Anlan's affairs.

He understood his Young Lord quite well.

Who was that woman in front of him?

She was the eldest daughter of the Liu Family, Liu Ruyan.

And the apple of their Young Lord's eye.

The Young Lord valued her more than anyone else.

But now.

A complete reversal.

Could it be that the simp has risen?

Will the Young Lord shed the label of simp from now on?

"Qin Anlan, I didn't expect you to dare treat me like this. Are you a simp trying to rebel?"

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you anymore."

After a bout of anger, Liu Ruyan's face regained some of its color.

She didn't care what kind of person Qin Anlan was.

She had never liked such simps anyway.

She had come to the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate today for a most important reason.

She couldn't let Qin Anlan's attitude delay her important business.

Precisely because of Qin Anlan's attitude just now, Liu Ruyan's already poor impression of him had hit rock bottom.

Her heart felt no further burden.

"Qin Anlan, I actually don't like you at all."

"If it weren't for your Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate forcing my Liu Family, I would never have gotten engaged to you."

"I've come here today specifically to break off our engagement."

As she spoke these words, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised disgust, even a hint of arrogance.

Thanks to Qin Anlan's efforts, Liu Ruyan had successfully entered one of the Heavenly Flame Empire's top powers: Heavenly Firmament Academy.

During her time cultivating at Heavenly Firmament Academy, Liu Ruyan had found her true love.

He was the Senior Disciple Brother of Heavenly Firmament Academy's inner sect, Ye Qingyun.

He was a man of outstanding demeanor, elegant temperament, exceptional talent, who had captivated countless young women.

The moment Liu Ruyan saw him, she couldn't help but fall for him.

But now, everyone in the entire Heavenly Flame Empire knew.

She, Liu Ruyan, was engaged to Qin Anlan.

And who was Qin Anlan?

He was the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Indeed, the identity of the fiancée of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's heir allowed Liu Ruyan to thrive.

Even within Heavenly Firmament Academy, no one dared to provoke her.

But this had become the biggest obstacle hindering Liu Ruyan and Ye Qingyun.

To follow Senior Disciple Brother Ye, or even to become his partner, she had to sever this tie.

Liu Ruyan was very clear.

Having a devoted follower like Qin Anlan by her side was of immense help to her.

Qin Anlan was a walking treasure trove.

As long as she, Liu Ruyan, needed anything.

Various elixirs, rare heavenly treasures, cultivation techniques. He had it all.

She never had to worry about such matters.

But she, Liu Ruyan, already had someone she loved.

She and Senior Disciple Brother Ye Qingyun were truly a match made in heaven.

Only by standing beside Senior Disciple Brother Ye Qingyun did Liu Ruyan experience.

What the taste of love was.

What it meant to go all out.

For the sake of the love in her heart, what was wrong with giving up on a devoted follower like Qin Anlan?

Even if it meant giving up her entire family, giving up the whole world.

Liu Ruyan would not hesitate to choose to fall in love.

The most important point, With Qin Anlan, this devoted follower, causing trouble by her side.

She couldn't openly be with Senior Disciple Brother Ye Qingyun.

For the sake of her future.

Liu Ruyan made a resolute decision.

She would bravely storm the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and forcefully break off the engagement.

"Qin Anlan, are you even listening to me?"

"I already have someone I love, he is Senior Disciple Brother Ye Qingyun of Heavenly Firmament Academy, and I will not marry you."

Seeing that Qin Anlan did not reply immediately, Liu Ruyan's tone carried a hint of anger as she reiterated.

"We are both adults. Let's leave each other some dignity and part ways amicably."

Liu Ruyan said this with her chin held high.

She felt no guilt whatsoever.

In her opinion, by coming to Qin Anlan herself to break off the engagement.

She had already given Qin Anlan plenty of face, considering the reputation of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

She didn't want Qin Anlan to act like a jumping clown, shamelessly sticking to her and constantly pestering her.

"Fine, as you wish."

Just then, Qin Anlan's calm voice cut through the air.

His words stunned Liu Ruyan, leaving her frozen in place.

Clearly, Qin Anlan's reaction had caught her completely off guard.

Didn't this guy used to pester her relentlessly? Even when she, Liu Ruyan, repeatedly asked to break off their engagement, Qin Anlan would beg for forgiveness.

To make her give up the idea, Qin Anlan had even offered a vast amount of rare treasures and cultivation techniques.

Has this simpering dog finally given up?

Overjoyed, Liu Ruyan immediately said, "You said it yourself, don't you dare go back on your word."

Go back on my word?

A cold smile played on Qin Anlan's lips.

"Not only am I announcing the dissolution of our engagement, but I will also declare to the entire Heavenly Flame Empire that my Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate has no further connection with your Liu Family."

As soon as he spoke, the entire grand hall fell into silence.

Tu Xiu, standing beside Qin Anlan, was even more shocked.

The Young Lord wasn't just ending his relationship with Liu Ruyan; he was even harboring murderous intent towards her and the entire Liu Family.

Without Qin Anlan even lifting a finger.

With these words, the various factions understood that the Liu Family was destined for utter destruction.

The Liu Family was originally just a third-rate family.

It was only because of Qin Anlan's fervent pursuit that Liu Ruyan had managed to latch onto the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate. With the estate's abundant resources, the Liu Family's strength had grown significantly.

The two old ancestors of the Liu Family had even managed to break through to the Emperor Realm, transforming them into a second-rate major family.

For a mere woman like Liu Ruyan, the Liu Family had gained immense resources, cultivation techniques, and status.

This had made countless factions green with envy.

Previously, with the protection of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, these factions could only seethe in anger but dared not speak out.

If the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate were to announce a complete severance with the Liu Family.

The Liu Family would likely face a joint attack from multiple forces.
