Chapter 9: Can’t afford to offend, can’t afford to offend
at the same time.
Ye Xinghe's second apprentice, Ximen Feixue, is experiencing a humiliating breakup from his fiancée.
In Ximen Feixue's home, the originally quiet courtyard now seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, making it so depressing that it made people breathless.
Lu Qianqiu was like a beautiful rose with thorns, yet she exuded a bone-chilling coldness. She was dressed in a dazzling dress, and the gold thread patterns embroidered on the corners of her clothes were like nimble snakes that moved freely following her movements.
She moved lightly with lotus steps, and every step she took on the ground seemed to leave shallow footprints with her domineering energy.
When she reached Ximen Feixue, Lu Qianqiu's red lips pursed and uttered a voice as sharp as a blade: "Look at you, such a wimp! The Ximen family is now in decline, and you have no future at all. And you still want to marry me? Stop dreaming!"
After saying this, the gold-plated and jade-inlaid letter of withdrawal of engagement in his hand, wrapped in spiritual power, "whoosh" and smashed straight towards Ximen Feixue's door like a hidden weapon. The force was so great that it actually left a tiny blood mark on his cheek.
Ximen Feixue only felt a burning pain on his face. It was not only physical pain but also the heart-wrenching pain of being humiliated by his beloved.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and the spiritual energy in his body surged uncontrollably and chaotically. However, due to his lack of strength and the decline of his family, he forcibly suppressed the urge to fight back and could only grit his teeth and endure it.
For him, it was a great shame and humiliation!
My father, Ximen Zhenyue, stood aside, his body hunched over a bit.
He has been active in the martial arts world for half his life and was once full of vigor and ambition. But now his family is in decline and he is powerless to fight back against Lu Qianqiu's tyranny.
If they offend the only daughter of Empress City, their Ximen family will be finished!
There felt like a huge rock stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Lu Qianqiu curled up the corner of his mouth into an extremely contemptuous smile, which seemed to be mocking the forbearance of the Ximen father and son.
"Hmph, Ximen Zhenyue, where has your former prestige gone? Back when your Ximen family was at its peak, you often suppressed our Empress City. Now the tide has turned, and it's your turn to be at the mercy of others!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to stroke her temples, and casually fiddled with the priceless crystal hairpin in her hair.
"you!"
Ximen Feixue could no longer bear it and glared at him.
The guards behind him moved in unison, each of them was tall and strong, their armor shining brightly and emitting a powerful aura.
These guards are not ordinary characters. They were all carefully selected by Lu Qianqiu from the Empress City. They were infused with rare elixirs and trained with superior skills. Any one of them can become famous in the world.
At this moment, they were staring at each other with eager eyes, cooperating with Lu Qianqiu's arrogance, with spiritual power surging in their palms, as if they were ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
"Ximen Feixue, you are a complete waste!"
Lu Qianqiu attacked again, her beautiful eyes wide open with disgust, "I've been training with you since we were young. I've made great progress, but you've been standing still, unable to even comprehend a fraction of the family's skills. If I keep you, you'll be a burden to the Ximen family in the future. Don't delay my future!"
The relatives and friends of the Ximen family gathered around, each with grief and anger on their faces, but they were afraid of the power behind Lu Qianqiu and remained silent.
They had heard earlier that the only daughter of the Empress City Lord had married into the powerful Sima family, and now it seems to be true!
But the Ximen family is a century-old family after all, how could they allow this person to insult them!
Several young men couldn't hold back and were about to step forward to argue but were held back by their elders. They could only watch Ximen Feixue being humiliated.
At this time, the maid Lu Qianqiu brought with her didn't think it was lively enough, and she echoed in a shrill voice: "That's right, my young lady is a fairy with extraordinary talent. She will marry into a top family and become the wife of a local hegemon. How can she be dragged down by a mediocre person like you! Sign the divorce agreement quickly and don't dirty her hands!"
Ximen Feixue was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes red as he stared at Lu Qianqiu, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "Lu Qianqiu, I will repay you a hundredfold for the humiliation you suffered today!"
Lu Qianqiu laughed out loud as if she had just heard a huge joke. "Just you? Fine, I'll be waiting, but you'd better think about your own abilities. If you're still so useless the next time we meet, it won't be as simple as canceling the engagement!"
But now, Lu Qianqiu is even more anxious about breaking off the engagement.
The Sima family won't wait for her.
Lu Qianqiu crossed her arms, her eyes looking down at an ant with disdain. She held out a letter of withdrawal between her jade fingers, slammed it down on the table, and shouted in a domineering tone, "Ximen Feixue, stop dawdling and sign this letter of withdrawal! Keeping this engagement is a waste of my reputation."
Ximen Feixue's body trembled violently, his chest heaving violently, his eyes bloodshot with anger. He stared directly at Lu Qianqiu and gritted his teeth, "You want me to sign a divorce agreement? Dream on! I, Ximen Feixue, am still a man after all. For me, there's no such thing as a divorce, only a divorce!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to freeze in an instant. Everyone in the Ximen family gasped, their faces filled with shock.
Lu Qianqiu was stunned at first, as if she couldn't believe her ears. In a moment, her expression changed from surprise to raging rage. Her fair face flushed red like a ripe tomato. With a "whoosh", she fiercely swept the divorce agreement on the table to the ground and screamed, "Ximen Feixue, you are so bold! How dare you humiliate me? Do you really think I, Lu Qianqiu, am easy to bully?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly waved her hand and the guards behind her quickly surrounded her like vicious wolves, each of them rubbing their hands in preparation, spiritual power surging in their palms. For a moment, the spiritual pressure in the room suddenly increased, and the tables, chairs and benches creaked.
"Tear down this Ximen family! Leave no one alive! You dare to disobey me? I will make you pay the price!"
Seeing this, Ximen Zhenyue rushed forward anxiously with a smile on his face, but that smile hid endless bitterness.
"Miss Lu, please calm down. My son is young and ignorant, and his words were careless, causing me to offend you. I hope you will be magnanimous and show mercy! My Ximen family has always respected the Empress City and the Sima family, and we would never dare to offend them in the slightest."
As he spoke, Ximen Zhenyue secretly winked at Ximen Feixue, signaling him not to act impulsively again.
Ximen Feixue's face was full of resentment. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms and blood seeping out, but his father held his arms tightly and he could not move.
"Dad, how can I bear such humiliation..." Ximen Feixue's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.
Ximen Zhenyue sighed softly and lowered his voice, "My child, things are different now. We can't afford to offend the Sima family. Don't let your temper harm the whole family."
After saying that, he turned to face Lu Qianqiu, bent down, picked up the divorce agreement on the ground, and handed it to her with both hands. "Miss Lu, I'll sign it right away. I hope you can show some leniency and not hold it against us."
