Before this.

His primary mission was to ensure Qingcheng's stability and the safety of its citizens.

He would handle the rest himself.

Putting away the letter.

Wei Qing's gaze fell on Jun Wushang. "Speak, what exactly are you here in Qingcheng to do this time?"

Knowing Jun Wushang as he did.

This kid would absolutely not abandon his cultivation just to see a friend.

"Heh heh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you," Jun Wushang blushed. "It's just that my mother arranged a childhood engagement for me when I was little?"

"My mind is completely focused on cultivation right now, so I've come to break off the engagement!"

"Since you're here, help me brainstorm how to break off this engagement without offending the other party."

Wei Qing was stunned.

Break off the engagement?

This plot felt so familiar.

Zhang Zhidong, standing nearby, looked at Jun Wushang as if he were an oddity.

He thought, is this kid's brain okay?

You're actively coming here to break off the engagement, and you still want to avoid offending them.

Jun Wushang scratched his head lightly. "I also don't want to delay the young lady."

"What's the girl's name?"

"I think her name is Zhang Xue."

"What?"

Before Wei Qing could speak, Zhang Zhidong, standing beside him, couldn't hold back and shouted loudly.

"Kid, are you perhaps Jun Wushang?"

"Mm."

Jun Wushang was slightly taken aback, then slowly nodded, his eyes filled with confusion.

It's over!

Seeing this, Wei Qing instantly understood what was happening.

He began to silently pray for his good brother.

"What's wrong with my daughter? How dare you break off the engagement!"

Rage surged in Zhang Zhidong's eyes, as if he wanted to devour Jun Wushang.

Truly, sitting in a room, trouble comes from nowhere.

The moment before, he was mocking the other person for being mentally ill.

The next second, he was caught in his own drama!

"Huh?"

Jun Wushang was even more stunned on the spot, wishing he could slap himself.

To talk about breaking off an engagement in front of his future father-in-law.

How unlucky was he to run headfirst into a gun barrel?

Zhang Zhidong stared intently at Jun Wushang. "Speak, if you don't give me a reason that can convince me today, you're not leaving this room."

"Yes, I'd like to hear it too."

Accompanying a deafening "BANG," the room door was violently kicked open from the outside.

A woman dressed in fiery red clothes, like a blazing flame, burst into the private room.

It's over!

Wei Qing placed a hand on his forehead, shaking his head helplessly.

Without even thinking, he knew the main character had arrived.

"Oh my, Xue'er, why are you here?"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Zhang Zhidong's angry expression instantly faded, replaced by a doting father's smile as he went to meet her.

"Mother, I'm here to call you home, Father."

Zhang Xue stated her purpose, but her gaze was furiously fixed on Jun Wushang.

Jun Wushang was completely flustered at this moment.

He thought, God, please strike me down with lightning and knock me unconscious.

What is this situation?

It was already awkward enough to break off an engagement in front of his future father-in-law.

Now, his fiancée, whom he had never met, was standing right in front of him. How could he even begin to speak?

Before coming, he had planned to discuss a win-win solution with Wei Qing, one that would resolve the issue without offending the woman's family.

What was there to even think about now!

Right, Wei Qing!

Jun Wushang looked towards Wei Qing for help, his gaze pleading.

However, Wei Qing completely ignored his plea.

He calmly picked up his teacup, his fingers gently fiddling with the tea leaves floating on the surface.

It was as if there was some treasure in the teacup.

"Speak,"

Zhang Xue urged again.

"Th-this..."

Jun Wushang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't even speak fluently.

"What 'this'? Weren't you quite eloquent just now?"

"How dare you break off our engagement." Zhang Xue instantly transformed into an enraged tigress, roaring, "If anyone's breaking this engagement, it's me breaking it off with you."

"Today, right here, as long as you, Jun Wushang, can defeat me, I, Zhang Xue, will decide the fate of this engagement. If I win, it's off!"

"Fight?"

Jun Wushang's eyes lit up.

Hearing that there was a fight to be had, his entire demeanor instantly became sharp and fierce. His gaze towards Zhang Xue no longer wavered.

Damn it!

This is going to be bad.

Seeing this, Wei Qing was about to step forward to intervene.

It was already Jun Wushang's fault for wanting to break the engagement, and this kid held nothing back when he fought.

What if he injured Zhang Xue?

Things would get really serious.

Zhang Zhidong stepped forward, blocking Wei Qing. He said with great confidence, "My lord, please don't worry. Let my little girl teach this brat a lesson."

"Brother Zhang, Wushang was indeed in the wrong about this. What if he injures Miss Xue'er?"

"My lord, rest assured, he won't be able to injure Xue'er."

"Oh."

Seeing Zhang Zhidong's confidence, Wei Qing examined Zhang Xue for the first time.

He didn't know until he looked.

He was shocked when he did.

Well, well!

Zhang Xue was not only a martial artist, but she was also an Eighth-Rank Mid-Stage martial artist, one minor realm higher than Jun Wushang.

At this.

Wei Qing's worried heart finally relaxed.

While they were talking, Zhang Xue accelerated, rushing in front of Jun Wushang. She clenched her right fist and swung it towards his face.

Seeing this, Jun Wushang's body flickered, and he easily dodged Zhang Xue's fierce attack. A faint smile played on his lips.

Zhang Xue's attack missed, but her offensive momentum did not decrease. She spun again, her left hand forming a claw and lunging towards Jun Wushang's eyes.

Jun Wushang raised his palm to block, and at the same time, his right knee shot up, slamming hard into Zhang Xue's abdomen.

Trading blows.

From the first exchange, Jun Wushang realized that Zhang Xue's strength was a notch above his own.

To win, he would have to pay a price.

Zhang Xue instantly saw through his thoughts. She changed her claw into a finger and pointed it at the pressure point on his right knee, simultaneously stepping back half a pace.

The moment her feet touched the ground, her left leg whipped out like a lash, aiming straight for Jun Wushang's groin.

His right leg suddenly lost all feeling, and Jun Wushang stumbled, his balance instantly broken.

His peripheral vision caught Zhang Xue's attack, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He thought, This girl is too ruthless. She's trying to make me infertile.

It's just breaking off an engagement.

Does she need to be this vicious?

He stomped his left foot down, his figure retreating several steps.

However, Zhang Xue was a step faster than him, delivering a vicious kick straight to his chest.

Jun Wushang crossed his arms in front of his chest, retreating three steps with a series of "deng deng deng" sounds before he could barely stabilize himself.

Seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in Zhang Xue's eyes, and she pressed her advantage.

The next moment, her offensive tempo suddenly increased.

Palm shadows flew, fist winds howled, electricity crackled between her fingers, and her leg sweeps were like whips. Every move and every strike targeted vulnerable areas of the human body such as the chin, eyes, acupoints, and groin.

Jun Wushang was instantly forced into a passive defensive state.

He parried each blow.

But he was unable to mount an effective counterattack.

It was over.

Wei Qing saw this and knew that Jun Wushang had lost this match.

At the same time, he was surprised that Zhang Xue possessed such extensive combat experience.

His gaze turned to Zhang Zhidong with a hint of inquiry.

"Heh heh, Xue'er's mother was the Heavenly Realm Division's very first Garrison Commander to enter the martial arts through medicine."
