Inside the Zheng Ying Hall of the Yunxiao Sect, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive. Hua Qi stood in the center of the hall, looking firmly at an old man with half-white hair.

"Nephew, have you come to discuss your marriage to my daughter?"

The old man sat in a high position, looking at Hua Qi with a smile, but his eyes revealed a hint of barely perceptible greed.

Hua Qi frowned slightly, fully aware of the old man's intentions. He spoke slowly and coldly.

"Uncle Shen, please forgive me, but I have come here to dissolve the engagement. I wonder if you are willing?"

Hua Qi's voice was cold and resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation. His words were like a bolt from the blue, plunging the entire hall into a deathly silence.

The old man's face instantly darkened, and a hint of anger and resentment flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Hua Qi, and angrily shouted, "Hua Qi, what do you mean? This engagement was arranged by your father and me. How can you come here and want to break off the engagement? Do you think our Yunxiao Sect is easy to bully?"

The old man's voice echoed in the hall, filled with majesty.

He stared intently at Hua Qi, waiting for his answer. However, Hua Qi simply stood there quietly, his mask concealing all his emotions.

Hua Qi said calmly, "Uncle Shen, don't rush. I was originally preparing for the wedding, but I discovered something interesting, which forces me to break off the engagement."

Hua Qi's words enraged the old man even more. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Qi, don't think you can act recklessly just because you have some ability! A marriage contract is not something to be taken lightly. Do you really think I would easily agree to your demands?"

Hua Qi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

He knew this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve, but he wasn't someone to be trifled with either.

"Why don't you take a look at what's in the recording stone first, Uncle Shen, before making a decision?"

As he spoke, Hua Qi tossed a recording stone over. Shen Changqing caught the recording stone with a grim expression, feeling a mix of doubt and worry in his heart.

He didn't know what was recorded in the photographic stone that would make Hua Qidi use it as a reason to annul the engagement.

Shen Changqing gripped the recording stone tightly, a hint of unease in his eyes, but he thought to himself that nothing was more important than Hua Qi breaking off their engagement.

So he took a deep breath and decided to check its contents. However, when he injected his spiritual power into the recording stone, the scene that appeared before his eyes made him widen his eyes instantly and his face turned extremely ugly.

It turned out that the image captured on the photographic stone was of his daughter, Shen Xiaoxiao, having an affair with a strange man! This sudden blow left Shen Changqing feeling dizzy and almost unable to bear it.

His hands trembled as he quickly turned off the image on the recording stone, but it was too late.

Those around witnessed this scene, which immediately caused a huge uproar.

The crowd began to whisper and discuss among themselves. They were shocked and puzzled by Shen Changqing's daughter's behavior, and they also questioned Shen Changqing's upbringing.

Shen Changqing's face was ashen. He felt utterly ashamed and wished he could disappear into the ground.
