He Came to Break Off the Engagement!

Xue Qinghe left Spirit Hall.

At that moment, he soared through the skies.

The houses beneath his feet steadily shrank away.

"Nana seemed to have said something to me just now..."

"What was the Frost Sword Descendant called again?!"

"Forget it, who cares what his name is?"

"We were never meant to be..."

"As for what he is called, that is no longer something I should care about. Let him be..."

Thinking that he was no longer bound by the engagement, Xue Qinghe could not help but feel a little happy.

"At last, I am free..."

"Qingkong, I'll come find you right away."

As he accelerated, Xue Qinghe streaked past one building after another.

As he flew over a magnificent, gold-plated pavilion, his figure paused instinctively.

That pavilion was none other than Pope Hall!

Compared to the antiquated Offering Hall, Pope Hall's decor was far more grand.

Its ceilings and walls were plated with lavish gold, while its towers, bricks, and tiles were all built from jade.

At the very top of Pope Hall stood a middle-aged woman dressed in purple.

An aura of authority born from long years in power constantly radiated from her brows and eyes.

She was none other than the current Pope of Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong!

When she saw Xue Qinghe flying toward her, Bibi Dong's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed considerably.

Yet she soon discovered that after pausing briefly, Xue Qinghe continued flying into the distance...

Bibi Dong's expression changed at once.

She immediately shouted in a deep voice:

"Since you're back, after seeing so many people, don't you know to come see me?!"

Xue Qinghe stopped in midair.

"Sorry, I have something to do right now. I'll come see you next time when I'm free..."

With that, the wings behind Xue Qinghe began to flap as he prepared to leave.

Bibi Dong was in no rush. Instead, she said softly, "Blood Thorn told me not long ago to wipe out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect..."

"I heard that was your idea?!"

"What? Did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect offend you?!"

Xue Qinghe stopped.

"Yes. So what?!"

"Wasn't this part of your plan anyway? Is there a problem?"

"No, I was just curious. Weren't you opposed to me doing these things?!"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?!"

At the mention of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Xue Qinghe's face flushed red with anger.

"Bibi Dong, you were going to destroy them anyway, so stop worrying about so much. This time, I'll have Offering Hall help you. Even if you refuse to act, I'll ask several of the offerings to destroy them."

Xue Qinghe's change in attitude caught Bibi Dong off guard.

She knew that although there was a great rift between herself and her daughter,

she had never before made him this angry.

Thinking of how he had wanted to break off the engagement as soon as he returned,

Bibi Dong seemed to realize something.

"My guess is that it wasn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect..."

"that bullied you..."

"but that they bullied... someone you care about deeply, right?"

"Is that person the one you love?!"

Xue Qinghe's heart skipped a beat.

How did she know...?

Seeing the expression on Xue Qinghe's face, Bibi Dong knew she had guessed correctly...

With his feelings exposed, Xue Qinghe panicked as well.

"This is my business. You don't need to concern yourself with it."

"Even if you won't do it, I'll ask Sixth Grandpa and Seventh Grandpa to act."

At the mention of those two offerings, Bibi Dong's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

But it quickly returned to normal.

"I understand. I'll help you destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Xue Qinghe was greatly surprised.

She actually agreed?!

He had thought Bibi Dong had come here specifically to refuse him.

After all, when he was younger, this woman had targeted him plenty of times.

Xue Qinghe spoke quietly.

"Thank you..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xue Qinghe prepared to depart, only for Bibi Dong to stop him on the spot.

"After helping you with such a huge matter, all I get is a thank-you?!"

"Then what do you want?! I don't have time to waste with you right now."

With a hint of expectation, Bibi Dong said, "I want to hear you call me properly..."

"You haven't called me that in a long time..."

Xue Qinghe was somewhat surprised. He tried to open his mouth, but in the end, he could not bring himself to say it.

In a deep voice, he said, "Sister..."

"What did you call me?!"

Bibi Dong was furious! That was not what she wanted to hear.

"That's it. This is already my greatest concession."

"After destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, remember to send the resources from their sect's treasury to the restaurant on the outskirts of Heaven Dou Imperial City."

"Say it is a gift from Qian Clan Qinghe..."

In the blink of an eye, Xue Qinghe vanished into the sky.

Hu Liena walked along an empty corridor.

At that moment, she was extremely excited.

Sister Xue'er was willing to give up Wu Qingkong. That meant she could pursue Wu Qingkong boldly and without worry!

With that thought, Hu Liena did not hesitate. She hurried toward the Offering Hall.

She had to quickly tell the offerings that Wu Qingkong had come to break off the engagement.

Inside the hall,

the several offerings naturally sensed Hu Liena's presence.

But they were also surprised. What was Hu Liena doing here at this time?!

Shouldn't she have been with that brat Wu Qingkong?!

The group extended their spiritual senses.

They discovered Hu Liena running toward them with a flushed face.

She was even panting slightly.

Qingluan looked surprised. "That shouldn't be possible..."

"How is that brat Wu Qingkong so fast?!"

"It hasn't been long at all. How did this girl Hu Liena come out already?!"

"Is he really that useless?!"

It was not only Qingluan who was surprised; Qian Daoliu also found it strange.

"Could it be his first time, so he was nervous?"

"Young people are full of passion, so perhaps he finished a little quickly?!"

Guang Ling did not join in. Instead, he said calmly, "Do you think it's possible..."

"that brat Qingkong didn't do anything at all?!"

"Maybe he sent for Hu Liena because he had something important to report?!"

Guang Ling's words plunged everyone into thought.

"Why would that brat Qingkong summon us?"

"Didn't he come to arrange the engagement? Shouldn't he just get it done?!"

Just as they were puzzled, Hu Liena arrived at the entrance.

"Reporting to the esteemed offerings, I, Hu Liena, have an urgent matter to report."

"This matter concerns the Frost Sword Descendant and the young master!"

Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. It concerned Xue'er?!

Could it be that Qingkong had discovered something?!

But that should not be possible!

He had never met Xue'er, so he should not know that Xue'er existed.

Despite his doubts, Qian Daoliu still said, "Come in!"

"Yes!"

Hu Liena walked into the hall.

Looking at the terrifying auras before her, each as unfathomable as an abyss, she could not help but feel nervous.

She had seen clearly how much these great offerings doted on Qian Renxue.

She was truly afraid that, after she said it, these offerings would be unable to accept it.

Seeing Hu Liena standing there hesitantly,

Guang Ling spoke first.

"Speak. What exactly do you have to report?"

Guang Ling's words jolted Hu Liena awake.

She silently encouraged herself.

Come on, Hu Liena!

You have to fight for your own happiness. A woman pursuing a man is only separated by a thin veil—you can definitely win him over!

Then,

she shouted, "The Frost Sword Descendant did not come to arrange an engagement—he came to break it off!!!"
