Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Lin Ruoxue finally landed gracefully opposite Emperor Xianxian.

"Master Lin has attained the status of a Grandmaster, which is a great fortune for our dynasty. In accordance with regulations, he shall be granted the title of Heavenly Ribbon!"

Emperor Xianxian smiled and presented the sash with both hands.

Lin Ruoxue did not kneel, but calmly reached out and took the sash.

The process of being granted the title of Grandmaster is that simple. Wearing a ribbon on the Martial Arts Platform is equivalent to receiving the court's approval. From then on, Grandmasters will have various privileges within the empire.

As long as there is no rebellion, virtually no law can be applied to a Grandmaster.

Grandmasters can establish their own sects, choose any mountain or river to follow, and their disciples are exempt from taxes and labor services.

A grandmaster can protect an entire region!

The emperor personally bestows the title, which is free from all taboos and the law cannot touch you.

This is the true value of the title "Grandmaster"!

Everyone present was extremely envious!

In the entire Great Li Dynasty, there were only four Grandmasters. Now, there is a fifth!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have another matter to ask you to bear witness to!"

Lin Ruoxue accepted the sash and spoke calmly.

Emperor Xianxian said, "Master Lin, please speak freely."

Lin Ruoxue slowly turned around, scanned the surroundings, and then said, "From today onwards, Lin Ruoxue and Li Lan are divorced. Lin Ruoxue is no longer Li Lan's wife, and Li Lan and Lin Ruoxue have no further connection whatsoever!"

The moment he spoke, a tremendous tremor shook the surrounding area.

"This is... a broken engagement?"

"They've been married for so long, are they really going to call off the wedding?"

"So what if the engagement is called off? The title of Grandmaster signifies transcendence and mortal status; how can it be viewed with ordinary eyes!"

Immediately, everyone in the room was buzzing with discussion.

"Of course, what is Li Lan? Just a martial arts failure. Even if he has some literary talent, how could he possibly marry a Grandmaster?"

"Indeed, Li Lan's existence is a disgrace and insult to the Grandmaster!"

"This is the true demeanor of a master!"

Almost no one saw anything wrong with this.

Because Lin Ruoxue is truly too strong. Marriage, morality, and even the law are merely means to restrain the weak and ordinary people, while her current strength is enough to shatter everything.

"Heh, a dignified first-rank Grand Academician of the Yuan Dynasty, being jilted in front of the whole world... Li Lan has truly lost all face!"

"He is not good enough for Lin Ruoxue at all. If he had any self-awareness, he would have taken the initiative to divorce her long ago. Why did he wait until today? He has only brought this humiliation upon himself!"

"A loser should be prepared to be a loser!"

At the same time, many people spoke up.

Among the civil and military officials, many eyes were fixed on Li Lan, their expressions a complex mix of mockery, subtle emotions, ridicule, and sighs…

The Third Prince, Li Guan, couldn't help but smile. He looked at Li Lan as if he were a clown and said with a laugh, "What's wrong, Lord Li? The Grandmaster has spoken, why don't you give your opinion?"

"Do you really want to stick here like a leech?"

Li Lan and Lin Ruoxue were at odds, which was something he was naturally happy to see!

Officials of his faction burst into laughter.

"Grand Scholar... you'll be all alone from now on."

"Lord Li, please don't be too sad..."

"Lord Li, the fact that you had a marriage with a Grandmaster is enough to make you famous in history, haha..."

The mockery continued unabated!

Beside Li Lan, Lin Zheng's face was extremely grim. He suddenly shouted, "Ruoxue, what are you doing?!"

He was so angry that his face turned pale!

After all that has happened over this period of time, he has truly come to accept Li Lan from the bottom of his heart and has come to regard Li Lan as family.

Li Lan has done far too much for the Lin family.

If it weren't for him, the Lin family might be finished by now.

But now, his own daughter is repaying kindness with enmity and wants to divorce Li Lan?

It's called a divorce, but what's the difference between that and breaking off the engagement? Especially since she chose such a drastic method, in front of the whole world…

This is nothing short of an insult to Li Lan!

How can I face Li Lan like this?

"Father, my mind is made up. I will sever all ties with this world. Please respect my choice."
