I was just collecting them casually, how did the disciples become emperors?

Out of desperation, Ximen Feixue could only sign his name despite the humiliation.

Lu Qianqiu snorted coldly, reached out to snatch the letter of annulment, glanced at Ximen Feixue, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am still more sensible of the current situation! Look at how cowardly you are. Learn from your father and behave yourself from now on. You will avoid further embarrassment."

After saying that, she glanced at the name signed by Ximen Feixue, put the letter of withdrawal of engagement into her arms, and then flicked her sleeves with satisfaction.

"Hmph, today's matter is over, but if the Ximen family dares to provoke me again in the future, or spreads any rumors against me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lu Qianqiu uttered some harsh words and left with his guards.

After she walked away, Ximen Feixue knelt down with a plop, holding his head in his hands, and his suppressed crying echoed in the house.

Ximen Zhenyue stood by and patted his son's shoulder gently, his heart filled with sorrow.

In this world, the strong have always been respected.

Ximen Feixue clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. He raised his head and spoke with determination, "Dad, uncles, and brothers, I can't swallow this! I've heard there was once a powerful being on Tongtian Peak, whose demeanor was unmatched, and whose abilities were unparalleled! I'm going to Tongtian Peak to become a disciple and learn the art. When I return, I'll make the Lu family pay for what happened today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room exploded with noise, and relatives and friends gathered around, trying to dissuade him.

"Feixue, don't be impulsive!"

The uncle frowned, a worried look on his face as he stepped forward and grabbed Ximen Feixue's arm. "The current head of Tongtian Peak is named Ye Xinghe, and he's a notorious loser! Although that peak once produced a great master, times have changed and things are no longer the same. It would be a wasted trip for you to go there, and you'd only be ruining your future."

"That's it!"

My cousin echoed this, shaking his head repeatedly. "When I was out there, I heard people talk about Ye Xinghe a lot. They said he had monopolized Tongtian Peak's resources, but had achieved nothing. His cultivation had stagnated for years, and he couldn't even manage his own disciples. He was often bullied and ridiculed by other peak masters. What kind of skills can you learn from him?"

Ximen Feixue's eyes held a stubborn look. "My elders, relatives, and friends, I understand you're doing this for my own good, but rumors aren't always believable! There are many people in this world who are blinded by appearances. When others call him a loser, how can we know it's not just slander born of jealousy? Or perhaps it's because they haven't seen his hidden tricks?"

"He is able to sit in this position now. If he is not a capable person, how can he have held on until today?"

Having said that, they are just rumors after all.

But an elder from the clan coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "My child, our Ximen family is in a difficult situation right now and can't afford any more trouble. You are one of the few remaining hopes of our family. If you waste precious time at Tongtian Peak and miss out on other opportunities, the revival of our family will be a distant dream."

Ximen Feixue was slightly startled. Looking at his relatives with sad faces in the dilapidated courtyard of his home, a bitter feeling arose in his heart, but the flame of revenge burned even hotter.

He could not swallow the humiliation he suffered today no matter what.

"Grandpa, I know your family is in trouble, and that's why I have to give it a try! Most sect leaders look at a disciple's family background and resources when accepting him. My Ximen family is in decline now, so how could such a good place be willing to accept me? Tongtian Peak has been known for its great power, so even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try! If I stay where I am, I will truly never get out."

Everyone wanted to persuade him again, but Ximen Feixue had made up his mind. He knelt down and kowtowed three times to his father Ximen Zhenyue.

"Father, I am unfilial. I knew that my family needed my help right now, but I still insisted on going my own way. But please believe me, I will not let the family down. I will definitely win back this honor and revive the Ximen family!"

Ximen Zhenyue's eyes were red. He helped his son up with both hands and sighed.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you have made up your mind, Dad will not stop you. When you go out, be careful. If you can't do it, return home quickly. Don't try to be stubborn."

Ximen Feixue had just resolutely stepped out of the house, and before his heels had even touched the ground, a burst of arrogant and piercing laughter suddenly pierced the sky.

"Hahahaha, no one from the Ximen family can escape today! Everyone will die!" The voice, filled with strong murderous intent, rolled in, scaring everyone in the Ximen family so much that their scalps went numb.

Ximen Feixue's heart tightened and he turned around abruptly, only to see a huge group of men in black rushing towards him at the end of the road like a dark cloud.

The leader was dressed in a black robe, tall and burly, with a hideous scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his eye to his chin, looking even more terrifying in the sunlight. His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, like a hungry wolf locking onto its prey.

This person's body was filled with surging spiritual energy, which appeared as black mist and swirled around him. Wherever he passed, the ground turned black and the grass withered. It was obvious that he was practicing a sinister and vicious martial art.

"Who are you?" Ximen Feixue glared at them and shouted sternly. At the same time, he secretly gathered his spiritual power and stood sideways in front of his family, taking a defensive stance.

The scarred man burst into laughter again, and when it stopped abruptly, he said coldly, "You little bastard, you're about to die and still dare to ask who I am? I'm telling you, I'm Black Centipede, the leader of the 'Ansha Hall' under the Sima family. I've been ordered by Miss Lu Qianqiu to completely eradicate your Ximen family, so that you won't be a future trouble and will bother you again!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ximen family turned pale. Ximen Zhenyue stumbled forward, trembling with anger. "How could the Sima family be so cruel! We, the Ximen family, have already signed the annulment agreement, promising not to provoke them again. Why are they still trying to kill us?"

Black Centipede sneered, curling his lips in disdain, "Hmph, relying on that little bit of backbone you just showed? Miss Lu said that keeping the Ximen family will eventually bring uncertainty. What if they turn around one day, wouldn't that be a slap in her face? It's better to cut the grass and root it out as soon as possible!"

Ximen Feixue's anger was about to burst, and he roared, "Lu Qianqiu, you vicious woman! You've gone too far!"

After saying that, he took the lead and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed with a "clang". The spiritual power on the sword shone brightly and turned into a sharp sword energy that rushed towards the black centipede.

The black centipede was not in a hurry. With a wave of his palm, a vortex of black spiritual power surged out of his palm, easily drawing the sword energy into it and crushing it into pieces.

"You are so ignorant. With your mediocre skills, you dare to challenge me? Brothers, come on, kill all these bastards from the Ximen family!" Black Centipede waved his hand, and the men in black behind him swarmed up like a tide, surrounding the Ximen family in an instant.

Although the Ximen family members fought hard, the gap in strength was too great, and the men in black were deadly with every move.

For a moment, screams were heard and blood splattered everywhere. Relatives and friends of the Ximen family kept falling to the ground, and blood flowed into the soil, dyeing the land in front of the door red.

At this time, Tongtian Peak.

The system voice suddenly flashed in Ye Xinghe's mind.
