"Hey, Old Liang, don't get involved in this. We young people should handle this ourselves." Ling Yi happened to be coming downstairs at that moment.
"You brat, do you even know what's going on? You think you can handle this yourself?" Liang Wanshan said irritably.
"It's just annulment of the engagement, what's the big deal?"
"Since you know that, you should also understand that once the engagement is called off, your reputation will be completely ruined, and what will become of the Liang Family's face?"
Ling Yi sat down next to Liang Wanshan, put his arm around Liang Wanshan's shoulder, and said, " Old Liang, as the saying goes, a forced marriage won't be sweet."
"Look at this guy over there. When he looks at us, his eyes are on his nose and his scalp is on his eyes. If his hair weren't covering them, his eyeballs would be practically on the top of his head!"
"Get out of my way and speak properly!" Liang Wanshan pushed Ling Yi away.
Jiang Qingqing's face turned ugly. How could she not hear the sarcasm in Ling Yi's words?
Ye Chen, standing behind Jiang Qingqing, had already clenched his fists.
He had a murderous look on his face.
The male lead has some serious illness.
In his heart, Jiang Qingqing had become his possession, and anyone who insulted her should die.
In his mind, the Liang Family was already on their way to their doom.
" Old Liang, since they want to break off the engagement, then let them break it off. There's a saying, 'You can't force someone to do something you don't want to do.' They're determined to break off the engagement, so we can't just stubbornly refuse, can we?"
"That would make things awkward for everyone, and that wouldn't be good."
"Our Liang Family must win people over with virtue and reason!"
"Besides, what era are we living in? Why are we still talking about arranged marriages? What's wrong with me, Ling? Liang Hao is so handsome, is it hard for me to find a wife?"
Liang Wanshan naturally understood this principle as well.
From the moment Jiang Qingqing came to his door to break off the engagement, he knew that the outcome would be difficult to change.
I was just angry and unhappy.
" Qingqing, you really came here to break off the engagement? Can you give me a reason? Is my Haohao not good enough?" Zhang Lanyun frowned.
Hearing this, Ling Yi felt embarrassed.
Everyone in the Great Qian Empire knows how "outstanding" your Haohao is, right?
Sure enough, in every parent's eyes, their own child is always the best.
Before Jiang Qingqing could speak, Ye Chen behind her said coldly, "It's really ridiculous, Liang Hao, the number one dude in the Daqian Empire, who doesn't know who doesn't?"
"This kind of trash is not worthy of Jiang Qingqing at all."
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere shifted—well, not quite right, but rather, it clicked perfectly.
Ling Yi has traveled through so many worlds, and most of the Protagonist are brainless, so they all have this kind of vibe.
Yes, you are the future Temple Master of the War God Hall, and the successor to the War God Hall.
But right now you're just a bodyguard who's recently been promoted to a personal assistant.
Don't you consider whether it's appropriate for you to say such things given your current status?
This kind of Protagonist has always been like this, and Ling Yi was already used to it, so he wasn't angry.
But Liang Wanshan and Zhang Lanyun disagreed.
" Jiang Qingqing, your subordinates seem to have some lack of respect. Is this how the Jiang Family raises its subordinates?" Liang Wanshan said coldly.
"Smack!"
Jiang Qingqing was also furious. She stood up, turned around, and slapped Ye Chen across the face.
The slap was so forceful that it made Ye Chen stagger.
Jiang Qingqing was, after all, a prospective hall master of the Qianyuan Hall, and her martial arts skills were not low. Although she was not as good as Ye Chen, she was not far behind.
"Who gave you permission to speak?" Jiang Qingqing looked at Ye Chen with icy eyes.
" Qingqing, don't worry. In my eyes, the Liang Family is nothing but ants. If you wish, I, Ye Chen, can wipe them out with a wave of my hand."
Tsk tsk, this mindless dialogue is even more in line with the God of War vibe.
"Fine, fine, fine, the Jiang Family, very good. Jiang Qingqing, very good too. Ye Chen, I'll remember that!" Liang Wanshan was truly enraged.
From Liang Wanshan's perspective, Ye Chen's humiliation of the Liang Family in this way could not possibly be something he intentionally did, after all, he was just a subordinate.
There must be Jiang Qingqing behind this, or even the Jiang Family's instructions.
Is this a test of the Liang Family's bottom line?
But whatever the reason, the Liang Family must not be humiliated.
Upon hearing Liang Wanshan's words, Jiang Qingqing's face instantly turned pale. Clearly, Liang Wanshan had misunderstood.
"Uncle Liang, I'm so sorry, this Ye Chen just joined my Jiang Family, please don't misunderstand!" Jiang Qingqing quickly explained.
The Jiang Family and Liang Family are old friends, having maintained a good relationship for generations.
She came to break off the engagement herself simply because she didn't like Liang Hao and didn't want to marry a good-for-nothing playboy.
She is, after all, the future master of the Qianyuan Hall; how could she marry a good-for-nothing?
Her ideal boyfriend must at least surpass her in terms of physical strength.
But her coming to annul the engagement doesn't mean she wants the Liang Family and Jiang Family to become enemies because of this.
Although she came to annul the engagement, she also prepared a considerable amount of compensation.
I just haven't had a chance to say it yet.
" Qingqing, you don't need to be afraid of the Liang Family. As long as I'm here, the Liang Family is nothing but ants." Ye Chen hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
He remains immersed in his "wife-protecting maniac" persona.
"Smack!"
Shen Qingqing slapped Ye Chen again, this time with all Shen Qingqing might, holding back almost no effort.
But Ye Chen only stumbled and did not fly out as expected.
However, Ye Chen was not in good shape after taking that slap; his face was swollen and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"You dare call me 'Qingqing '? Who do you think you are?"
"Slap!" Jiang Qingqing slapped him again, this time with all her might.
Ling Yi was thoroughly enjoying the show; the plot was really getting more and more engaging.
In invasion plots like "The Return of the God of War," the Protagonist is incredibly subservient to the female lead before his identity is revealed.
Almost every chapter is met with Taunt and slaps.
He was beaten by the female lead, beaten by her family, and beaten by her friends.
The Protagonist is either getting slapped or on his way to getting slapped.
Only after his identity God of War was exposed did the days of being slapped end.
You might say he's pathetic, but it's always his own fault for being so foul-mouthed.
Just like now, he keeps talking about ants, causing trouble and stirring up hatred for the female lead.
Of course, Ye Chen is, after all, the quasi- War God Hall Master.
Guangzhi, they'll definitely retaliate.
Since Shen Qingqing was Ye Chen's personal possession, he naturally wouldn't retaliate against Shen Qingqing. Instead, he held the slaps against the Liang Family.
According to the normal plot development, Ye Chen will come to assassinate the Liang Family tonight.
The entire Liang Family was slaughtered, not a single one was spared; it was a truly tragic scene.
But now!
Ling Yi stood up, slipped on her slippers, and walked step by step to Ye Chen.
"Tsk tsk, Ye Chen, right? Your cultivation is impressive. Jiang Qingqing is already at the Half-Step Innate level, but even with her full strength, she only managed to make you bleed a little from the corner of your mouth."
"An ordinary person would probably have their brains shattered, right?"
As soon as Ling Yi said this, Jiang Qingqing, Liang Wanshan and the others immediately realized that something was wrong.
"To be able to withstand Jiang Qingqing's full-force attack at close range, your cultivation level is at least at the Innate, or even Master."
"Those with Innate cultivation level number no more than a hundred in our Great Qian Empire, and those with Master cultivation level are no more than a handful. Your identity is probably not simple!"
Jiang Qingqing instantly circulated her Internal Energy, white light flowing around her body, and she stared at Ye Chen with murderous intent. "Speak, who exactly are you? What is your purpose in approaching me?"
" Qingqing, I can't reveal my identity yet, but please believe me, I, Ye Chen, would never harm you."
"Boom!"
Jiang Qingqing 'Shang-Chi surged, her fist glowing white, as she slammed it towards Ye Chen.
This is the Jiang Family's ultimate move, Moonlight Strike, which is extremely powerful.
Jiang Qingqing, with her Half-Step Innate cultivation, unleashed this move, which even Late Innate would find difficult to withstand.
"Smack!"
This time, it wasn't the sound of a slap, but rather Ye Chen easily catching Jiang Qingqing's punch.
"Clap clap clap!"
That's the sound of Ling Yi clapping.
"Good, good, good. This cultivation level is at least Half-Step Master, right?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
Jiang Qingqing took a few steps back, watching Ye Chen, but instinctively shielded Ling Yi behind her.
After all, in Jiang Qingqing's mind, Ling Yi was just an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.
However, Jiang Qingqing's action Jieyin Ye Chen.
" Qingqing, you actually want to protect this good-for-nothing?" Ye Chen said coldly.
At this moment, Ling Yi whispered behind Jiang Qingqing, "Very well, Liang Hao, you have already chosen your own death. I, Ye Chen, will surely kill you today!"
"Very well, Liang Hao, you've already chosen your own death. I, Ye Chen, will surely kill you today!"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he froze on the spot. Huh? How did this trash know what he was going to say?
Jiang Qingqing turned around and gave Ling Yi a strange look. How did you know what he was going to say?
Ling Yi shrugged. "If you've experienced hundreds of storylines like 'The Return of the God of War ' or 'The Return of the Dragon King,' you can guess what Ye Chen is going to say."
Besides, Ling Yi can check the plot at any time.
The dialogue is right there!
Ling Yi patted Jiang Qingqing on the shoulder, pulled her aside, and faced Ye Chen directly.
A glint flashed in Jiang Qingqing's eyes.
This Liang Hao is no simpleton; when he casually tugged at her just now, she was completely powerless to resist.
" Haohao, danger! Back off immediately!"
"You brat, are you out of your mind?"
Liang Wanshan and his wife quickly called out, and then went forward to Ling Yi away.
Ling Yi turned around and gave them a reassuring look.
Then he raised his right hand towards Ye Chen and said, "I'm going to slap your right cheek. I bet you can't block it."
"You're courting death!" Ye Chen circulated his True Yuan Gang Qi and prepared to unleash his ultimate attack on Ling Yi.
" True Yuan Gang Qi, Master Realm?" Jiang Qingqing exclaimed in disbelief.
"Smack!"
A loud, crisp slap echoed throughout the hall.
Then Ye Chen, like a spinning top, spun 1800 degrees in the air and flew out, crashing directly into the wall behind the sofa.
The immense force dented the wall, successfully hanging Ye Chen on it.
Ye Chen circulated his black True Yuan Gang Qi, gave a powerful jolt, and fell off the wall.
After taking a few steps forward, the True Yuan Gang Qi on his body suddenly dissipated.
Then he knelt on the ground and started vomiting blood!
