The blurry scene projected before them continued.
Two ugly maggots hiding in a filthy gutter embraced each other, savoring the thrill of breaking a taboo.
"No, Erlong."
"You're about to get married. We can't do this..."
"I don't love him at all. You're the only one I love, Xiaogang..."
"Precisely because I'm about to get married, I want to give myself to you tonight and properly say goodbye to our past."
"After this, I'll be the young madam of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I just don't want to have any regrets."
"I don't care. I've waited for you for so many years, from the bloom of youth until I've grown old and faded. Do you really want me to wait until my hair turns completely white? Xiaogang, stop tormenting me, and stop tormenting yourself. Does worldly prejudice really matter that much? Since we've already come together, free your heart."
"Xiaogang, come..."
The projection ended.
The Meeting Hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fell utterly silent.
Yet the atmosphere was as oppressive as magma.
It seemed that any sound at all would be enough to set everything off.
Liu Erlong had long since gone completely numb where she stood.
Her face was deathly pale, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
From the moment she heard the first line in the projected scene, she knew she was finished.
Seeing her so utterly distraught,
Ning Xuan felt no sympathy for her.
Say goodbye to the past?
Want no regrets?
Betrayal was betrayal, yet she still dressed it up in such grandiose words!!!
To put it in the most rotten phrase from his previous life,
it was this:
She'd become a whore, yet still wanted to set up a memorial arch!!!
Since Liu Erlong wanted to say goodbye to the past this way, without leaving any regrets,
fine!
Then Ning Xuan would grant her wish!!!
Break off the engagement!!!
From now on, they'd each go their separate ways!!!
Never mind that Liu Erlong only wanted to have no regrets. Even if she and Yu Xiaogang had a mentally disabled child, Ning Xuan could even represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and send them a congratulatory gift.
To celebrate a bitch and a dog staying together forever!
"Uncle Yu, do you still think that now?"
Ning Xuan took a deep breath and asked.
Yu Yuanzhen lifted his head and stared hard at Ning Xuan, flames almost bursting from his eyes.
Then he looked at Liu Erlong again.
His teeth clenched, veins bulging on his arms as he struggled to suppress his fury.
"Liu Erlong, what else do you have to say for yourself?!"
he demanded.
But by the end, he couldn't help roaring.
Liu Erlong trembled violently.
She was already crying so hard she could barely breathe.
But this time, Yu Yuanzhen only looked at her more coldly.
Liu Erlong gritted her teeth and stood up.
"Yes, that's right."
"I have nothing left to explain. Everything you saw and heard is true."
"Yu Yuanzhen, I just love your son."
"If you've got the guts, then throw me out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan too!"
Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage.
His figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. When he appeared again, he struck out violently, punching toward Liu Erlong.
His berserk presence surged in an instant.
The air itself crackled as his enormous fist landed on Liu Erlong.
Caught off guard, Liu Erlong had no chance to put up any defense. Yu Yuanzhen's punch sent her flying, and she crashed heavily onto the stone paving outside the Meeting Hall.
"You shameless, despicable woman."
Yu Yuanzhen's face was cold as he advanced toward Liu Erlong step by step, the fury in his eyes almost taking the shape of real flames.
"You've defied all human decency!"
He hauled Liu Erlong up from the ground. Seeing blood already trickling from the corner of her mouth, he slapped her without hesitation.
The slap landed with a loud crack.
Liu Erlong's head snapped to the side, and she fainted.
Even so,
Ning Xuan could see her cheek swelling rapidly, leaving her in a pitiful state.
"Damn, she really is a beast."
Yu Yuanzhen was still furious.
He threw Liu Erlong heavily to the ground. He looked at her with the same disgust one might feel for a worn-out shoe, then raised his foot as if to crush her skull.
Fortunately, Sword Douluo Chen Xin stopped him in time.
"Clan Leader Yu, even if you beat her to death now, it won't help."
“Clan Chief Yu, even if you beat her to death now, it wouldn’t do any good.”
He looked up at Sword Douluo Chen Xin, his face an ugly mixture of red and white, full of anger and shame.
In the end, he could only let out a sigh.
"Chen Xin, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will call off this engagement."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan failed to teach its people properly and nearly caused a catastrophe, bringing shame upon both clans. I, Yu Yuanzhen, am ashamed."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression was indifferent.
"Does that mean the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still has to announce to the continent that we were at fault, and that my Young Sect Master is narrow-minded?"
Yu Yuanzhen's expression grew ugly.
Bringing this up now was no different from slapping him in the face. But what else could he say?
He could only glare viciously at Liu Erlong, who lay unconscious, and grit his teeth as he said,
"None of this has anything to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin remained expressionless.
"And the betrothal gifts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"We'll return them."
Yu Yuanzhen's expression grew even uglier as he ground out the words.
"Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still need to be compensated?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was rarely so forceful.
Yu Yuanzhen finally couldn't hold back any longer. He took two steps to the table, grabbed the teapot, and gulped down two mouthfuls before speaking.
"Chen Xin, the fault for calling off this engagement lies entirely with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"After today, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will also give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect an explanation."
"Good. Clan Leader Yu, I appreciate your straightforwardness."
A smile finally appeared on Sword Douluo Chen Xin's face.
Ning Xuan also let out a breath, stepped forward, and held out his hand.
"Then, Uncle Yu, please return that Immortal Herb to me first. The rest of the betrothal gifts can wait another couple of days. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can send someone to deliver them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
The Immortal Herb was crucial.
Ning Xuan didn't want to delay any longer, lest someone grow greedy.
Sure enough, when he brought up the Immortal Herb himself,
Yu Yuanzhen's expression froze. He furrowed his brow and seemed a little hesitant.
"Clan Leader Yu, what's the matter?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin raised an eyebrow and asked.
Yu Yuanzhen gave a bitter smile.
"Chen Xin, could we have two more days for the Immortal Herb?"
"Why?"
"No!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin spoke almost at the same time as Ning Xuan.
Then the two looked at each other again. Sword Douluo Chen Xin took a small step back and said,
"Everything will be done according to the Young Sect Master's wishes."
Yu Yuanzhen's expression stiffened at once.
Actually, ever since Sword Douluo Chen Xin had arrived with them, Yu Yuanzhen had been avoiding Ning Xuan and steering clear of speaking with him.
He had been talking to Sword Douluo Chen Xin the whole time.
There were two reasons.
First, Yu Yuanzhen had always felt that only Sword Douluo Chen Xin, as a Titled Douluo, was qualified to speak with him.
Second, after their last two encounters,
Yu Yuanzhen genuinely felt that Ning Xuan was a little rash.
And people like them-heads of families and clans-least wanted to deal with reckless men like that.
Because the other party could make you lose face at any moment.
