I was already a Great Emperor, and she still wanted to break off our engagement? A hasty apprenticeship, out of nowhere

Su Chanyue was actually struck speechless, forcibly swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue.

That left her with only one decision.

Chen Fan ignored the two men and glanced at Su Chanyue. "Miss Su, you are indeed my fiancée, but did you come all this way just to break off our engagement?"

Su Chanyue's expression chilled slightly. Chen Fan had killed Wang Zhen; this matter was already far from over. She had no other choice.

"Young Master Chen, since you have spoken plainly, there is no need for me to conceal anything."

"The Chen Lineage has now declined to this state, while I have joined the Falling Cloud Sect and become its holy maiden. We no longer belong to the same world. Please understand, and accept this compensation as a token of apology."

She steeled herself and followed the original plan. Even if Chen Fan's strength defied belief, she could not trample on herself and slap her own face now.

Besides, Chen Fan alone could not prove that the Chen Lineage had anything to offer.

Chen Fan sneered. "Miss Su, you truly have a thick skin."

With one hand, he knocked away the porcelain pill bottle she offered.

I'll play along. As long as I'm not embarrassed, you'll be the only one who is!

Su Chanyue's brows pinched together. She had never been so humiliated!

Somehow, Chen Fan had become stronger than her, and Uncle Fu and Senior Brother Meng had acted for her sake. She had to break off this engagement now.

But she had a temper too, and said angrily, "Chen Fan, I know you are angry, but I have already decided to break off the engagement. Besides, after you killed a disciple of my Falling Cloud Sect, there is absolutely no possibility between us anymore! Here is the repudiation letter. Sign it..."

"From this day forward, we will have nothing more to do with each other!"

Su Chanyue had barely finished speaking, and Chen Fan had yet to respond.

"Breaking off an engagement... a repudiation letter!" An excited voice rang out.

Two figures nearby witnessed this moment firsthand.

They were none other than Bai Fengyao and Chen Luoyu.

Everyone looked over, utterly puzzled.

They saw a little girl slide straight onto her knees, a book cushioning them, and glide right up to Chen Fan.

She immediately kowtowed.

"Master, your disciple Bai Fengyao begs you to accept me!"

She offered this grand salute with utmost devotion.

The sudden scene left everyone dumbfounded. An apprenticeship had come out of nowhere!

Their jaws dropped.

[Ding, detected a top-tier heaven's chosen with great fortune, uh...]

Chen Fan fell silent as he looked at the little girl with her head lowered.

She had done it all in one smooth motion, without the slightest hesitation or dithering. Even the system had been slow to react.

He could tell she was really... it felt like she was playing around.

"Little girl, do you sincerely wish to take me as your master?"

Wouldn't that complete the mission?

But this happiness had come far too suddenly. He did not know why, either, but there was no reason to refuse something delivered to his doorstep. He no longer had time to bother with Su Chanyue.

Seeing Bai Fengyao, Su Chanyue lightly bit her red lip. The girl had popped out so suddenly she could scare someone to death, and Chen Fan was taking her far too lightly. Instead, he had started accepting a disciple?

I'm giving you a repudiation letter! A repudiation letter! Can you take this a little more seriously?

Otherwise, she could neither leave nor stay. Nothing could be more humiliating.

Bai Fengyao did not dare raise her head. "Master, your disciple is completely sincere!"

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Your disciple will certainly treat you as her father!"

Chen Tian smiled, his mood instantly lifting. This girl was quite amusing.

This was fate, wondrous beyond words.

"Feng Yao, rise. From now on, you are my first and chief disciple. I, Chen Fan, will certainly not mistreat you!"

Su Chanyue looked as though she had seen a ghost. One asked nothing and immediately took a master! The other also asked nothing and immediately accepted a disciple!

Since when could the bond between master and disciple be forged so carelessly? Weren't they just fooling around...?

"Thank you for granting my wish, Master." Bai Fengyao immediately rose.

She stood beside Chen Fan, exceptionally well-behaved. An engagement being broken off before her very eyes-what a heaven-defying opportunity! Arriving early was no match for arriving at the right moment.

And her master was very handsome, too. She did not know why someone would break off an engagement with him. But that was no big problem. His engagement being broken off was exactly what she had been waiting for!

[Ding, mission complete. Congratulations, host, on obtaining a Puppet Legion of ten thousand puppets, summonable at any time.]

Chen Fan instantly felt refreshed. Only then did he see his disciple's face. She was a delicate little thing, a budding beauty. As for her personality...

It was a little strange, but that was no big problem.

Then his eyes narrowed slightly. Apart from the girl's female companion, there seemed to be rats hiding in the shadows, and they were not weak. Could they be her guards?

Uncle Fu and Meng Tianya were bewildered. What was going on? Everything was developing in unexpected directions.

Su Chanyue was furious. Just like that, he had accepted a disciple! What did he take his fiancée for? The repudiation letter was still clutched in her hand, not yet delivered...

She trembled with cold rage, caught in the wrong on every side and sitting on a bed of needles.

While everyone's attention was drawn away, Chen Luoyu quietly gazed at the familiar residence in the distance, and at that figure...

"Fan'er..." She smiled gently. They had met again, yet...

Wait! She snapped alert. Bai Fengyao had taken Fan'er as her master? The unlucky fellow whose engagement was being broken off was Fan'er...

She was thrown into confusion. Then she looked at Uncle Fu and Meng Tianya and grew even more confused! What was going on?

The two elders secretly protecting Bai Fengyao nearly toppled over.

This was far too hasty!

Each was more careless than the other! Could they show a little sense of ceremony?

They revealed themselves to stop it.

"Divine maiden, you must not fool around. How can you take a master so casually!" one shouted.

The moment the two appeared, they looked unfathomably profound, their strength impossible to gauge.

Everyone's expression grew solemn at the sight.

In the distance, Chen Luoyu also inwardly sensed trouble. These two were as strong as the Chen Lineage's ancestor at his peak! They absolutely could not afford to offend them.

What a coincidence. How had they all run into one another? Was this fate?

"Elder Chen, Elder Gu, why are you...?" Bai Fengyao immediately realized that they had been secretly protecting her.

"I sincerely wish to take him as my master!" She declared her resolve.

Chen Fan smiled. It seemed this disciple had quite an extraordinary background. How interesting...

Elder Chen and Elder Gu ignored Bai Fengyao. They could let her play around, but she could not act so recklessly in a serious matter like this.

The two looked at Chen Fan and frowned, for they actually could not discern his strength. But he looked so young that they did not dwell on it.

Elder Chen said, "Young friend, this apprenticeship does not count..."

Bai Fengyao immediately wanted to protest, but Chen Luoyu hurried over just then. "Greetings, Elders."

It served as a covert warning. Fan'er, whatever you do, don't resist. Otherwise, no one can save you. Before absolute strength, there is no reasoning.

Uncle Fu and Meng Tianya, their expressions grave, froze at the sight of Chen Luoyu. What kind of day was this?

Why had they all... come home for a visit? But they dared not speak up. These newcomers were extraordinary!

Who knew whether this would bring fortune or disaster?

Chen Fan smiled. Young friend? I'm someone who swore to become an ancestor!

Elders, are they?

He replied, "My mind is made up regarding this apprenticeship. Bai Fengyao is my disciple, and no one can stop it."

He met their gazes without the slightest retreat, making his stance clear, and could even stroll about as leisurely as though in a courtyard.

Bai Fengyao was deeply moved. Was this what having a father felt like? A father she had met only once was willing to stand against two Lineage elders for her.

Whatever her master's cultivation, that courage alone made him worthy of being her master!

At these words, everyone's expression changed. They fell silent like cicadas in the cold, their hearts trembling. Su Chanyue was no exception, because the other side was very strong!

Elder Gu snorted, and a terrifying pressure immediately descended.

Even if the divine maiden took a master, without their agreement, he could forget about latching onto their Ancient Phoenix Clan!

This brat was obstinate. He simply did not know the height of heaven or the depth of earth!

There was no need for further words. They could simply strike.

As the pressure emerged, everyone was rendered speechless, their faces deathly pale.

Chen Fan, in contrast, moved as though no one stood in his way, completely unaffected. Then he casually waved a hand.

A giant, ethereal palm pressed down, pinning the two elders firmly in place. Their pressure instantly dissipated, leaving not a trace.

As though relieved of a heavy burden, everyone gasped for breath. They had no idea what had happened, only that they had nearly died just now.

"Master is so powerful..." Bai Fengyao murmured, wild joy filling her heart.

Stormy waves surged through Elder Chen and Elder Gu!

Even though they had used only a little pressure, the youth before them had actually suppressed them with ease!

Without even pausing for breath.

Amid their shock, they exchanged a glance, for they were Saint Realm elders!

Among the handful standing at the pinnacle of the Desolate Ancient Domain...

Yet just like that, they had no strength to resist whatsoever.

A thought arose, and their faces instantly lost all color.

Sensing that Chen Fan had no killing intent, the two suppressed the cold sweat covering their bodies.

They hurriedly spoke.

"Senior Great Emperor, we are elders of the Ancient Phoenix Clan. Please forgive our offense..."

Who could have known that such a small city would harbor such a heaven-defying powerhouse...?
