Breaking Off the Engagement? Even If Her Talent Is Gone, She Is Still My Fiancée!

Watching the Flying Boat in the sky, everyone from the Profound Heaven Sect, including Xiao Zhan, had a trace of envy flash through their eyes.

As expected of one of the Four Great Immortal Imperial Clans. Their foundation was truly abundant.

Such a magnificent Flying Boat—there might not be many of them in the entire Sky Profound Continent...

While everyone was still astonished, two figures leaped down from the Flying Boat like streaks of light.

Qin Jiuge and Uncle Li had not waited for the Flying Boat to land, choosing to jump down directly.

The fierce gale made Qin Jiuge's moon-white robe snap and flutter. In the blink of an eye, Qin Jiuge and Uncle Li had appeared before the people of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Only after Qin Jiuge landed did everyone finally have the chance to see the true face of the Qin Family's Second Sequence genius.

Qin Jiuge had sword-like brows and starry eyes, and his looks were exceptional. Though he was only a teenage youth, he carried himself with an innate calm and composure.

As for Uncle Li at his side, he emanated an intimidating pressure that made hearts tremble. At a glance, one could tell he was a rare expert.

When had the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect ever seen people who seemed like immortals descended from the heavens?

For a time, cries of amazement rose without end.

"As expected of the Second Sequence of the Four Great Immortal Imperial Clans! That bearing, that appearance..."

"Truly a dragon and phoenix among men, a figure like an immortal..."

"Of course! Young Master Qin is the Second Sequence among the Qin Family's younger generation and has a chance to compete for the position of Young Master!"

The disciples gazed at Qin Jiuge, whose robes fluttered as though an immortal had descended, and praised him again and again.

Xiao Zhan and the Elders had already come forward to greet him.

Although they were older than Qin Jiuge, his status as the Second Sequence of the Qin Family's younger generation was enough to warrant their respectful welcome.

Xiao Zhan squeezed a radiant smile onto his aged face and cupped his hands toward Qin Jiuge. "Young Master Qin, your arrival honors us. This old man failed to welcome you from afar; please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Qin Jiuge quickly supported him with both hands. "Patriarch Xiao, you are too courteous. By seniority, you are an elder and I am a junior. What is more, you once saved my father's life. There is no need for such formalities."

Uncle Li was somewhat surprised to see Qin Jiuge being so polite.

Weren't they here to break off the engagement? Was there a need to be this courteous?

Wouldn't it be enough just to say they were breaking it off?

However, recalling Qin Ming's instructions, Uncle Li could not help nodding inwardly. Qin Jiuge truly deserved to be the Second Sequence of the Qin Family's younger generation. Not only was his cultivation talent astonishing, but he also handled matters without a single drop spilling through the cracks.

Xiao Zhan was even more flattered.

Indeed, Qin Jiuge was right. In terms of age, Xiao Zhan was Qin Jiuge's elder, and he had even saved Qin Ming's life.

But the Profound Heaven Sect was, after all, a subordinate sect of the Qin Family. Based on that alone, Qin Jiuge had every reason not to treat him so courteously.

Xiao Zhan and the Elders escorted Qin Jiuge into the main hall of the Profound Heaven Sect, where they took their seats as host and guest.

Originally, Xiao Zhan had intended to let Qin Jiuge sit in the seat of honor, but Qin Jiuge refused.

Xiao Zhan called for the maidservants to bring out their finest tea.

Before long, steaming tea with a rich fragrance was served.

In a friendly tone, Xiao Zhan spoke first. "Young Master Qin, what brings you personally to my Profound Heaven Sect? Do you have some important matter for us to handle? So long as you give the word, even if we have to risk these old bones, we will see it done properly!"

At that, Qin Jiuge lifted his teacup and took a light sip.

The tea's fragrance spread through his mouth. It was indeed rare, excellent tea.

Even in the Qin Family, this would have counted as fairly good.

"There is indeed a matter that will require everyone's assistance."

Qin Jiuge set down his teacup and spoke slowly.

"Please speak freely, Young Master Qin. This old man is all ears."

Xiao Zhan's attitude was respectful, his expression solemn.

Qin Jiuge's gaze passed by Xiao Zhan and fell upon Xiao Yan'er, who stood behind him.

Xiao Yan'er's black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her skin was as white as snow, and her oval face was exquisitely delicate. Her bright eyes shimmered with life, her nose was high and elegant, and her rosy lips parted slightly, giving her an indescribably graceful air.

As expected of a Child of Destiny... Judging by her appearance alone, she was no worse than the Saintess of the Holy Land...

Three years ago, the original owner of this body had seen the Saintess of the Holy Land once, and her beauty had remained unforgettable to him ever since.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan'er was not inferior to the Saintess in the slightest.

Xiao Zhan, seated across from Qin Jiuge, noticed Qin Jiuge's gaze resting on Xiao Yan'er. His heart gave a thump as a thought rose in his mind.

Could Qin Jiuge truly have come to break off the engagement?

Several Elders seated beside Xiao Zhan naturally saw it as well, and each of them had their own thoughts.

The Elders who were closer to Xiao Zhan were deeply worried.

Xiao Zhan's current status within the Profound Heaven Sect owed no small part to the engagement between Qin Jiuge and Xiao Yan'er.

If Qin Jiuge had truly come to break off his engagement with Xiao Yan'er, the Profound Heaven Sect would inevitably suffer some turmoil.

Meanwhile, some Elders who coveted the position of Sect Master were secretly delighted. You, Xiao Zhan, only managed to secure the Sect Master's position because of a marriage contract. Now that Qin Jiuge has come to break off the engagement, let's see what you do from now on!

Just then, Qin Jiuge spoke again. "I came today primarily because of the engagement between Miss Xiao and myself."

"Over the years, Miss Xiao and I have never met. There has indeed been something lacking in terms of affection."

"Furthermore, I have heard certain rumors concerning Miss Xiao..."

As Qin Jiuge's words fell, everyone present became certain that he had indeed come to break off the engagement!

For a time, some were sorrowful while others were excited.

Xiao Yan'er bit down hard on her lip, refusing to make a sound. Her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails had long since sunk into her flesh.

She only felt that she had let down her father.

Over the years, she had become a worthless cripple, and her father had suffered tremendous criticism because of her. People had whispered behind his back that he had wasted resources on a good-for-nothing like her.

And now, someone was going to publicly break off her engagement!

After today, her father would likely become a laughingstock as well!

Xiao Zhan's expression also turned ugly.

Though he had anticipated it long ago, when it truly happened, he still found it difficult to accept.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jiuge abruptly changed the subject. His blazing gaze fixed upon Xiao Yan'er as he declared in a voice that struck the ground like iron, "But no matter what, Miss Xiao is still the fiancée of me, Qin Jiuge!"

"I came here today precisely to put an end to those rumors and slanders!"

Having said that, Qin Jiuge rose to his feet. His eyes swept across the entire hall, and everyone touched by his gaze immediately felt a chill run down their backs. The pressure he exuded was simply too overwhelming!

Amid everyone's astonishment, Qin Jiuge spoke again. "Before coming here, I heard that some people in the Profound Heaven Sect have bullied Miss Xiao because she has encountered difficulties in cultivation."

"I will make this clear today: even if Miss Xiao's talent is gone, she still has me!"

"Before you bully Miss Xiao, you had better think carefully about whether you can bear this young master's wrath!"
