Ning Xuan took a deep breath and said,
"Actually, I came back this time because there's something else I need to tell you three elders."
He hadn't said he wanted to discuss it with the three elders.
He'd said he wanted to inform them.
Clearly, he'd already made up his mind, and nothing could change it.
Seeing how unusually serious Ning Xuan had become, Ning Fengzhi and the other two couldn't help exchanging glances.
"Xiao Xuan, what happened?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in a grave voice.
"I..."
Ning Xuan gritted his teeth. Looking at the three elders' faces, he still couldn't help feeling a pang of bitterness.
"I'm calling off the engagement!"
Calling off the engagement?
Boom-
A bolt from the blue!!!
Ning Fengzhi and the other two sprang to their feet.
After staring blankly, they were overcome with disbelief.
"Xiao Xuan, what did you say?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong's few remaining hairs trembled as he widened his eyes and asked,
"Did Grandpa Bone hear that wrong?"
"Grandpa Bone, you heard right."
Ning Xuan gritted his teeth, his gaze passing once more over Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who still couldn't believe it.
"I'm calling off the engagement!"
"No!"
Ning Fengzhi immediately shook his head in refusal.
"Marriage is no trifling matter."
"Since the engagement has already been arranged, why are you calling it off now?"
"Whether it's our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, we're both great clans with our reputations to uphold. I won't agree to this."
Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who usually doted on him the most, kept shaking his head.
"Xiao Xuan..."
"Think about it. You were the one who insisted on marrying that girl, Liu Erlong, back then. Now you're the one who wants to call it off. You're putting us in a really difficult position."
"Xiao Xuan, you haven't fallen for someone else, have you?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said oddly,
"You don't need to worry about that. Our great clan would never object to you taking three wives and four concubines, so don't fret. At worst, you can marry another one after a while."
Ning Xuan had been prepared for Ning Fengzhi and the other two to react this way, so he didn't blame them at all.
But when he heard Grandpa Bone's last words, he could hardly keep it together and nearly burst out laughing.
"You're still laughing?"
Ning Fengzhi's face darkened.
"How dare you make such a major decision by yourself?"
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone."
Ning Xuan's smile faded, his expression turning serious again.
"I know you definitely won't agree, but for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reputation, this engagement has to be called off!"
As he spoke,
seven Soul Rings gathered around Ning Xuan, slowly floating up and down around his body.
"What are you doing?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced sideways at him and asked in confusion.
What was this?
Had he failed to persuade them and decided to settle it with his fists?
"Dad, you know I have a Soul Bone Skill called Mirror Image, right?"
"This skill can't deal any damage. It can't even be considered support. But it can attach itself to an opponent and record and transmit footage in real time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Soul Power began to shimmer around Ning Xuan's head.
A beam of light shot out from between his brows.
Like a projector, it cast the stored footage onto the wall of the meeting hall.
In an instant,
sultry voices, accompanied by soft rustling, came into view.
"Xiaogang, is being with me really that painful?"
"No, I don't love him at all. I only love you, Xiaogang..."
"This time, even if I have to force you... I'm going to have you..."
"I don't care. I've waited for you all these years, going from a girl in her prime to an old woman past her bloom. Do you really want me to wait until my hair turns white? Xiaogang, stop torturing me, and stop torturing yourself. Do worldly prejudices really matter that much? Since we've already come this far together, free your heart."
"Xiaogang, come..."
Bang-
Ning Fengzhi slammed his hand down hard on the table.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has gone too far!"
"Call it off!"
Even though Ning Xuan hadn't played any indecent footage,
just hearing the voices was already a powerful shock.
The two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, were furious. They shouted almost at the same time,
"Call it off!"
"Absolutely shameless!!!"
"Such a despicable woman doesn't deserve to set foot in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
The two unconsciously unleashed their raging presence, which swept through the entire meeting hall.
"Who was that man?"
Ning Fengzhi asked with a dark expression,
"He even dared to touch the future daughter-in-law of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He's got some nerve!"
He was easygoing by nature and rarely lost his composure like this. It was clear just how furious the matter had made him.
The two Douluo, Sword and Bone, also turned to look at Ning Xuan.
That was right.
Liu Erlong was certainly hateful!
And this engagement had to be called off!
But the other man in those voices was unforgivable too!
He had dared to touch the fiancée of the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Whoever he was,
he would have to face the fury of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Yet when the three of them asked, they saw Ning Xuan's expression turn strange and peculiar for an instant.
"Xiao Xuan, tell Grandpa Sword. Who was it?"
"Grandpa Sword has to avenge you. This is going too far!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin released his presence. Sword Qi swept everywhere, repeatedly piercing through the sofa behind him.
In just a moment,
the expensive sofa was riddled with holes.
"That's right, Xiao Xuan. Don't hold anything back."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong added,
"Even if that man is from Spirit Hall, Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword still have to go demand an explanation."
It seemed he was worried the three elders might not know Yu Xiaogang's exact identity, so he added,
"He's the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
As soon as he said that, everyone froze.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two couldn't recover for a long while.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong unconsciously pulled out one of the few whiskers he had left and immediately yelped, eyes wide,
"Is that true?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was also dumbfounded.
Ning Fengzhi sneered.
"So the rumor wasn't just baseless after all."
"What a fine Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Do you think no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can stand up to you?"
His gaze turned more sinister than ever.
"Even a worthless fraud who makes a name for himself through empty reputation dares insult the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? He must be tired of living."
No matter how highly he had once regarded Yu Xiaogang's title of Grandmaster, when it involved his own son-and such a terrible disgrace at that-Ning Fengzhi was left with nothing but anger.
"Xiao Xuan, you did the right thing."
"Not only are we breaking off this engagement, we're going to make sure everyone knows about it and bring shame upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Dad, what are you saying?"
A spoiled girl's voice suddenly rang out from outside the council hall.
The next moment.
Ning Rongrong came storming in, fuming. The moment she saw Ning Xuan, her eyes blazed with anger.
"Dad, you know Ning Xuan made me lose face today?"
