Chapter 19: You’re Not Breaking Off the Engagement?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s the crystal core of a fire-type spirit beast!” someone from the Imperial College exclaimed.

“It seems to be a ninth-level spirit beast…”

The magical beasts below spirit beasts were grouped into levels one to nine according to their strength.

Levels one to three were elementary magical beasts and were on par with cultivators at the Body Tempering Realm.

Levels four to six were intermediate magical beasts and were on par with cultivators at the Mystical Learner Realm.

Levels seven to nine were advanced magical beasts that were on par with cultivators at the Mystical Master Realm.

The spirit beasts were above magical beasts and were equivalent to cultivators at the Great Mystical Master Realm! Above spirit beasts were saint beasts.

A Great Mystical Master was already considered one of the greatest experts in the Muyun Kingdom!

There were only a few Mystical Kings like Yan Zhongshan in the Muyun Kingdom. Only the mysterious ancestors of the big families and the elders of the Muyun royal family were Mystical Kings.

Most of the family heads were only high-level Great Mystical Masters. Ji San, on the other hand, had just taken out a high-level spirit beast crystal core! The Yan family disciples’ eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they saw the crystal core.

The strength of the spirit beast behind this crystal core was equivalent to the head of most families! Even the previous head of the Yan family, Yan Sheng, might not be able to kill a high-level spirit beast alone.

Yan Xi glanced at the crystal core, and before she could speak, a hurried voice came from the distance.

“Young Master Ji San! We can’t accept such an expensive gift!”

At this moment, Yan Sheng was hurrying over with a group of elders.

When he glanced at the crystal core in Ji San’s hand, his eyes flashed with greed, but when he realized that it was for Yan Xi, he was secretly unhappy.

If it was before, he would have asked Yan Xi to accept it. After all, he would have a hundred reasons to make Yan Xi give it up soon. But now that Yan Zhongshan had come out of seclusion and removed him from the position of the family head, he could not do anything. It was better to let no one have it than to let Yan Xi have it.

Why would a piece of trash like Yan Xi want such an amazing thing?

He hurried over with a fawning look on his face. “I didn’t know that the proud students of Imperial College would be here. I apologize for not coming out to welcome you.”

After all, he had been in charge of the Yan family for ten years and had been in a high position for a long time. He knew better than the disciples how terrifying Imperial College was. He did not dare treat these young men and women badly.

The spiritual energy in the Longyuan Empire was rich, several times richer than the Muyun Kingdom. All of these students were geniuses.

“Your Highness, may I know why you’ve come to the Yan family despite your busy schedule? It’s hot outside. Why don’t we go to the main hall of the Yan family? I’ll ask people to serve tea and snacks for you, and then we can talk about it slowly. Our head is waiting for you in the main hall,” Yan Sheng said, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Yan Xi.

In a few days, it would be Yan Xi’s coming-of-age ceremony. Yun Yuhan must have come here to break off the engagement.

Yan Sheng could not help but feel overjoyed. Yan Wufeng had died, and his only daughter’s meridians were blocked, rendering her unable to cultivate. Everything in his path had been eliminated.

However, the only thing that made him unhappy was Yan Xi’s engagement.

In the past, Yan Wufeng was better than him in every way and was favored by their father. To Yan Sheng’s fortune, the daughter Yan Wufeng fathered was a piece of trash. But why could a piece of trash have such a good fiance?

He wanted Yan Xi to be inferior to Yan Lan in all aspects.

Now that Yan Xi’s engagement was going to be broken off, Yan Sheng felt a burst of joy in his heart.

He shook his head and sighed. “Actually, I also know why you’re here. Speaking of which, Yan Xi is really unlucky. Not only can’t she cultivate, but she’s also disfigured. She really doesn’t deserve you. However, my youngest daughter is quite a good fit for you. She’s lively and cheerful, and at the age of five, she was tested to have the talent of a Spirit Master…”

Without waiting for Yun Yuhan to speak, Yan Sheng began to disparage Yan Xi before he moved on to brag about Yan Lan.

Duanmu Rou’s expression was still gentle, but she was extremely disdainful.

She had worked so hard for so long, but she had only been able to get slightly closer to Yun Yuhan. She did not want Yan Lan to get what she wanted!

As the person involved, Yan Xi crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows as she quietly watched Yan Sheng’s pathetic act.

In her opinion, she had already cut off all ties with Yun Yuhan when the jade pendant was smashed in the training grounds.

On the other hand, Yun Yuhan frowned and said coldly, “Excuse me, we’re here today on our teacher’s orders to discuss important matters with the Yan family.”

He did not really want to talk about his marriage with Yan Xi.

After that day, he always felt like… something was extracted from his body.

Yan Sheng, who had been talking to himself, suddenly returned to his senses. Yun Yuhan was not here to break off the engagement?

He furrowed his brows fiercely. How could it be? It would be Yan Xi’s coming-of-age ceremony in a few days. Was Yun Yuhan really willing to marry an ugly and useless piece of trash? Even if he wanted to, would the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace agree?

Moreover, didn’t he say that Yan Xi had talked back to him at the training grounds that day?

Yan Sheng retracted his thoughts and rolled his eyes. Even if Yan Lan could not marry Yun Yuhan, even being connected to the teachers of Imperial College was a great opportunity.

He immediately expressed his agreement. “If there’s anything you need from the Yan family, please let us know. We’ll do our best to help you!”

The various hall masters and elders of the Yan family behind him also chimed in.

Only one person could not help but ask, “Your Highness, may I ask what happened just now?”

Ignoring the peaceful atmosphere created by the crowd, the Yan family’s entrance looked as if it had been robbed.

A wild boar’s corpse was lying not far away, its blood flowing all over the ground, and the disciples were all frightened.

There was a young man from the Imperial College squatting beside Yan Xi. Yan Chushi pulled Yan Xi’s sleeve and stood between them, his body half the height of everyone else. They stared at each other with bulging eyes.

The person who spoke was the Yan family’s law enforcement hall’s second-in-command, Yan Hong. He was upright and outspoken. He could not tolerate any dishonesty. Because he was dissatisfied with some of Yan Sheng’s actions, he had been suppressing the distant sects when Yan Zhongshan was in seclusion. He only returned today after knowing that Yan Zhongshan had come out of seclusion.

Yun Yuhan was silent for a moment before he spat out a few simple words, “The magical beast lost control.”

Elder Hong’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Can you give us a few more details?”

Next to Yun Yuhan, Duanmu Rou pointed at the young man who had been kicked away by Yan Xi when the tusked boar had arrived. She frowned. “Uncle Hong, we’ve just arrived too. We’re not too sure about the situation. When I came, I saw that Yan Xi seemed to be arguing with that young man. Yan Xi kicked him away. Later on, the tusked boar lost control for some reason. Fortunately, the Holy Son took action in time. Do you want to find someone to check on his injury first? He has been lying on the ground for some time and Yan Xi didn’t seem to be gentle.”
