Very Soon, I'll Make You Kneel and Beg for Mercy, Begging to Cancel the Engagement

"Get lost!"

Chu Tian's calm yet icy voice surprised those around him who had turned to look.

As the saying went, one did not strike a smiling face.

Not to mention that, given Ye Feng's status, he had lowered himself so much. And Liu Yun looked like a porcelain doll—her little face slightly pale, her watery eyes veiled in mist. People would probably not even have the heart to raise their voices at her.

Chu Tian was still so young, his face retaining a trace of childishness, yet he could be this cold and ruthless. He was practically like some old monster tempered by countless trials, one who had seen through life and death. It was astonishing.

"You..."

Liu Yun's face turned even paler. Her reddened eyes overflowed as tears continually streamed down her cheeks. "I clearly did nothing wrong. Chu Tian, why do you keep treating me like this? Why won't you be good to me anymore?"

"I already came to apologize. What exactly do you still want me to do?"

A trace of gloom flashed through Ye Feng's eyes without leaving a mark, and he immediately smiled. "Little Tian, as the saying goes, one day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace. Though yours is only a childhood engagement arranged by both families, you have played together since childhood. You will soon grow up, and holding a grand wedding ceremony is only a matter of time. By then, you will be Dao Companions who support each other for a lifetime. Why leave an everlasting knot in both your hearts over such a trivial matter involving Ye Fan?

"Your brother-in-law has been through it all, and I am doing this for your own good. When Yun Shang and I went out to train, your Eldest Sister would occasionally be a little willful too. Your brother-in-law merely laughed it off.

"Besides, Ye Fan once saved Little Yun's life. In order to repay him, Little Yun did go a little overboard, but it was understandable. I watched the two of you grow up. I truly cannot bear to see you remain deadlocked like this.

"Listen to your brother-in-law..."

Ye Feng spoke smoothly, his smile warm and amiable. He never mentioned yesterday's events, instead repeatedly using his relationship with Chu Yunshang as an example, urging Chu Tian not to be so petty and saying that a man should be magnanimous. He also kept bringing up old memories of watching Chu Tian and Liu Yun play together, his words brimming with recollection and warmth.

After thinking all night, Ye Feng had decided this was the best way to repair his relationship with Chu Tian.

In Hengtian Hall, Chu Tian had suddenly claimed, without any warning whatsoever, that Ye Feng was unworthy of Chu Yunshang and wanted to cancel the engagement. Over the past few days, he had also continuously clashed unpleasantly with the Ye Family, causing the situation to escalate without end.

Ye Feng believed that the root of it all lay in the matter between Liu Yun and Ye Fan. That had been the first spark that set everything ablaze. Thus, he had contacted Liu Yun overnight and pulled strings for her, paying an enormous price to smooth over relationships and secure her an opportunity to enter the Sacred Heaven Pool.

Ye Feng believed he had grasped the heart of the problem. As long as he resolved the relationship between Chu Tian and Liu Yun, everything would fall into place like a blade cutting through bamboo.

"Big Brother, this guy looks tall and mighty, imposing and extraordinary, but why is he as long-winded as an old granny?" Hui Mei scratched his head and bared his teeth, thoroughly impatient. Still, he gave the porcelain-doll-like Liu Yun a few extra looks. This little girl seemed as though she might one day rival his cousin. No wonder she was a girl who could be bound to Big Brother in a childhood engagement.

"Because he's got a cheap-boned nature!" Chu Tian answered blandly before looking at Ye Feng, his voice icy. "Ye Feng, every time you mention my Eldest Sister's name again, I guarantee your fate in the Sacred Heaven Pool will be even worse."

"Because you are unworthy!"

"Chu... Tian!"

In an instant, the gloom in Ye Feng's eyes was nearly impossible to suppress. With his talent and status, wherever he went, he was the center of attention, surrounded by stars like the moon. Chu Tian's repeated public contempt had already driven his fury to its limit. After wasting so many words, this brat still refused to yield to either soft or hard tactics.

"You are still young. Your brother-in-law advises you to stop while you still can. Too much is as bad as too little. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." Ye Feng's voice squeezed out through clenched teeth, each word distinct.

"What happens between Yun Shang and me is not for you to wag your tongue about."

"Our marriage is even less something a little brat like you can interfere with."

Liu Yun beside him turned even paler, because from beginning to end, Chu Tian had not looked at her even once. It was as if her existence were no more than that of a transparent person.

At that moment, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and gathered every ounce of courage she had. Thinking of her mother's teachings on how to win back a man, she stepped forward, her hand trembling as she tried to grab Chu Tian's arm.

"Chu Tian, have you forgotten that we were together—"

Slap!

The resounding slap exploded like thunder.

Liu Yun's body flew sideways like an arrow for over a hundred meters, smashing a huge boulder by the lakeside to pieces. Rolling dust swallowed her whole.

Everyone present shuddered inwardly, chills creeping up their spines.

What kind of person was this?

He truly showed no mercy at all. Was his heart made of stone?

Chu Tian did not waste even a sliver more energy or time on Liu Yun. His eyes remained indifferent, seemingly radiating cold air, as he suddenly lifted a foot and walked toward Ye Feng.

"Why does it suddenly feel a little creepy?" Hui Mei muttered under his breath. Standing beside Chu Tian, he had inexplicably felt a hint of cold just now.

"Little brat, don't tell me you want to make a move against me?" Seeing Chu Tian walk straight toward him, Ye Feng sneered, the gloom in his eyes thick beyond measure. He had done everything he could and endured to the very limit. He could no longer care about his father's orders to maintain a good relationship with Chu Tian.

"Your sister will sooner or later become my woman. That is a fact no one can change. If you want to cancel the engagement, your word does not count."

"Your father will not agree, and neither will your sister, Chu Yunshang. Do you think your Eldest Sister will listen to you, or listen to me?"

Ye Feng's voice was frigid. He had already decided that Chu Tian was the sort who refused a toast only to drink a forfeit, and said with absolute confidence, "If you know what is good for you, obediently listen to me. Mend things with Liu Yun and release Ye Fan from Sin Domain Prison. Otherwise..."

Bzzzz...

Suddenly, vast and mighty spiritual power spread from Chu Tian, making everyone present tremble. Instinctively, they thought this ruthless fellow was not actually going to attack Ye Feng, was he?

There were two major realms between Chu Tian and Ye Feng.

Chu Tian used his spiritual power to block out outside observation. His voice carried bone-deep coldness, audible only to Ye Feng. "You seem quite pleased with yourself for making my sister cultivate the Supreme Yin Yang Art's Auxiliary Formula."

"Very soon, I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy, begging for my sister to come to your door and cancel the engagement."

Boom!

In that instant, it was as if thunder had exploded in Ye Feng's mind. His face turned deathly pale, and terrifying killing intent erupted from his eyes.

How did Chu Tian know?

Could Chu Yunshang have told him? But that should have been impossible.

Ye Feng's heart pounded wildly. If this matter got out, he would be utterly ruined. Across the entire Hengtian Continent, no one would be able to save him.

For an instant, he even had the instinctive urge to attack and kill Chu Tian.

But suddenly, a terrifying Dao aura bound him. Duanmu Lei had feared that Chu Tian and Ye Feng would clash, so he had been secretly keeping part of his attention on them. Seeing this, he immediately used Dao aura to restrain Ye Feng's movements.

"Shh!" Chu Tian gently placed a finger against his lips and said calmly, "Do not make a sound. Otherwise, you will die even faster. Your life is worthless, but I have no desire to let you drag my Eldest Sister down with you."

Yet it was precisely Chu Tian's calmness that made Ye Feng's entire body turn cold, his legs even trembling faintly.

He could not understand why it had been exposed. How exactly had Chu Tian found out?

What should he do? What should he do?

Ye Feng stood frozen in place like a statue, his face white as paper, devoid of the slightest trace of blood.

The people around them were full of confusion. What had Chu Tian done? He seemed merely to have whispered something, yet the once imposing Ye Feng—the dignified son of the Sect Master—had been frightened into this state in an instant.

"Chu Tian, do you dare fight me?" At that moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

A tall man stepped out from the lakeside crowd, his eyes filled with dense Sha Qi. He strode up to Ye Feng's side and said in a low voice, "Brother Feng, this little devil is lawless and utterly without upbringing. He does not even give you face. When dealing with him, you have to use your fists and beat him into submission. Let me challenge him and avenge Ye Wu."

When this man stepped forward, the people nearby were slightly shaken, because he was Ye Wen, the eldest son of the Internal Affairs Hall Master.
