Breaking Off the Engagement Instead

At this moment, Hua Qingluo was completely dumbfounded.

She stood there blankly, dazed and stupid.

Hua Mengxin, standing beside her, was the first to lose her patience. She cursed, "Fang Hai has gone too far! Back then, he was the one who shamelessly came begging us. Now he's acting like such a bastard!"

Hua Qingluo came back to her senses and gave a self-mocking smile. "The Hua Family is no longer what it once was."

As she spoke, her expression changed. Her eyes turned icy. "I can understand wanting to draw a line between us now, but completely tearing off all pretenses and showing no regard for the bond between our two families? That's truly taking our kindness for granted."

"No matter how far the Hua Family has fallen, we are not someone a tiny Fang Family can humiliate."

Hua Wufeng pointed at someone amid the crowd whose face bore an unusual smile. "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple! Look."

Hua Mengxin and Hua Qingluo's expressions changed at once, and they cried out, "Aren't those people from the Oriental Family?"

"It seems the Fang Family does not merely wish to distance itself from our Hua Family. They likely intend to use us as a stepping stone, offering us up as a token of allegiance to the Oriental Family."

Seeing Hua Mengxin gritting her teeth in fury, Si Tingxuan could not help but feel a trace of appreciation.

If he encountered someone who would go weeping and kneeling to beg after having their face trampled on, he would definitely turn around and leave immediately.

But now...

"My disciples are not people others can humiliate!"

Si Tingxuan got down from the carriage and headed toward the Hua Residence. At the same time, he said, "Come! Your master will stand up for you!"

"Yes!"

The moment Si Tingxuan said that, Hua Qingluo and Hua Mengxin's eyes lit up.

They were overjoyed.

A smile also appeared on Hua Wufeng's aged face.

Long Wu silently followed as well.

The moment their group approached from one side, they immediately drew the attention of the onlookers.

Hua Qingluo and Hua Mengxin were both renowned for their beauty, so they were recognized the moment they appeared.

Hua Wufeng, the Hua Family's Second Elder, was recognized as well.

Whoosh.

The crowd instantly made way for them.

Some quick-witted people even retreated quite a distance.

Was the Fang Family really here to break off an engagement? They were openly here to slap the Hua Family in the face. Now that the people involved had appeared, a fight was highly likely.

It was safer to watch the spectacle from afar.

Meanwhile, the Oriental Family members amid the crowd smiled even more broadly.

They had come today for no other reason than to trample on the Hua Family's dignity and make them submit trembling beneath their feet.

Heh heh!

Cold smiles appeared on every one of their faces.

In their eyes, with the Zhao Family supporting them, they no longer needed to fear anything.

At that moment, the loudly clamoring Fang Hai also spotted Hua Qingluo, Hua Mengxin, Hua Wufeng, and the others.

Si Tingxuan, Long Wu, and Wang Shengnan were ignored instead, because they were not members of the Hua Family.

They looked young, and seemed incapable of affecting the situation today in any way.

Thus, Fang Hai immediately walked toward them. When his gaze landed on Hua Qingluo, a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.

To be honest, he had been very satisfied with Hua Qingluo as his fiancée.

She had beauty, a figure, family background, and talent that was not the least bit inferior to his own.

But compared to his family's survival, he could only give her up.

"Qing—"

Before he could finish, Si Tingxuan cut him off. "Get lost."

Fang Hai froze for a moment, then his face darkened.

He had come today to slap someone else in the face, not to be slapped in return. He immediately cursed, "Who the hell are you? What right do you have to speak here? Ha—!"

Before he could finish speaking, his whole body froze stiff. He could not move in the slightest.

His mouth hung open, unable to close.

With every breath, cold air escaped from his mouth.

The scene was somewhat comical, but no one who saw Fang Hai, whose face and hands were covered in white frost, could laugh.

Instead, they all drew in sharp breaths.

The relationship between the Oriental Family, Hua Family, and Liu Family was well known to everyone.

What today was really about was something everyone understood without saying.

Yet this person who had suddenly appeared actually acted without any restraint.

He had directly pushed the situation to its worst possible point.

Was he not afraid that the Oriental Family would make a move as well?

The Oriental Family was just looking for an excuse to act!

Having latched onto the Zhao Family, they were destined to soar. A mere Hua Family could never stop them.

If they confronted them head-on, they would inevitably be crushed to pieces.

Among everyone present, only the Fang Family Patriarch was worried about Fang Hai.

He cried out in pain, "Fang Hai!"

At the same time, he reached out with one hand.

But the moment he touched him, he pulled his hand back. His palm was already covered in white frost.

A bone-chilling cold spread from his palm through his entire body.

He could not help but shudder.

His heart trembled as well!

What is this? It's far too terrifying.

Naturally, this was Si Tingxuan's doing. The instant Liu Hai opened his mouth, Si Tingxuan rewarded him with an Icy Palm.

This move could seriously injure even a Soul Emperor, let alone a minor character like Liu Hai.

"Bastard!"

The Fang Family Patriarch cursed, then released his martial soul, circulating Soul Power throughout his body.

Then he sent it into his palm!

All the frost was shaken loose.

After that, five soul rings—three yellow, one purple, and one black—rose from his body!

He roared at Si Tingxuan, "You dare injure my son? Today, I'll make you pay the price!"

Bang!

Si Tingxuan used Mystic Ripple Microstep. Before the Fang Family Patriarch could react, Si Tingxuan had already appeared in front of him.

A palm rapidly grew larger in his vision.

His first instinct was to dodge!

But he discovered in horror that it was too fast!

Before his body could react, the palm had already struck him squarely in the face.

In an instant—

He fully experienced what his son Fang Hai had felt.

It was a coldness that penetrated the soul.

So cold that it made one wish for death, yet one could not even lift a finger.

He could only continue enduring this agony worse than death.

The entire scene fell silent.

Fang Hai had only been a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, no matter how talented he was. But the Fang Family Patriarch was a genuine Soul King!

Yet he had also been instantly defeated with a single palm strike.

When everyone looked at Si Tingxuan, their gazes held more curiosity.

He looked no older than twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Just what level of strength did he possess?

A Soul Emperor?

Could there be such a young Soul Emperor?

But if he was not a Soul Emperor, how could he instantly defeat a Soul King with one palm?

Could he be someone Invincible at the Same Rank?

Hua Qingluo took in the disbelieving expressions on everyone's faces.

She thought to herself, You're already this shocked just because he instantly defeated a Soul King? You find that unbelievable?
