After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

As soon as Qin Chuan arrived at the Qin family's gate, he saw an old servant pacing back and forth in the distance. It was the old steward of the Lin family.

"The Lin family is really arrogant; they only send a servant to cancel the engagement!" His expression hardened, a cold smile creeping across his face.

"You are Qin... Qin Chuan?" Upon seeing Qin Chuan emerge, the old butler was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the large amount of blood on the young man's body and was startled.

Qin Chuan remained calm and joked, "Haven't seen you for a while, Butler Lin? Have you already forgotten what I look like?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Lin confirmed that the blood-soaked figure before him was Qin Chuan.

He stammered, "Young Master Qin... what's wrong?"

"Oh, I just killed an old beast." Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "I came out without even changing my clothes after hearing you were coming."

What kind of beast would have this kind of blood?

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Butler Lin trembled and hesitated to reveal his purpose.

Qin Chuan laughed and said, "Steward Lin, please speak freely. We've been dealing with each other for so many years, are you afraid I'll do anything to you?"

Furthermore, if you don't complete the task assigned to you by the Lin family, how will you return to report?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Lin felt there was some truth to it. Suppressing his fear, he stammered, "Young Master Qin... our master sent me here to annul the engagement with the Qin family and dissolve your marriage with Miss Lin Yiyi."

As he spoke, he took out the marriage certificate and held it above his head.

"Is that so?" Qin Chuan smiled without saying a word, simply looking quietly at Butler Lin in front of him.

"Yes..." Butler Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowering his head and not daring to look Qin Chuan in the eye.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "If you want to annul the engagement, that's fine. It will be our Qin family that will do it. What is your Lin family? You think you can annul the engagement with our Qin family?"

Furthermore, you must return every single one of the 290,000 spirit crystals you received as a betrothal gift for the marriage between the Qin and Lin families!

"this…"

Butler Lin froze on the spot, completely at a loss for words.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but he felt that the young man in front of him was even more sharp and outspoken than before.

"That's right! What is the Lin family anyway! If it weren't for the marriage alliance with our Qin family and the support they received, there wouldn't be a Lin family in Guiyun City!"

Just then, Qin Zhantian strode out from inside.

"Patriarch Qin..." Upon seeing Qin Zhantian, Steward Lin hurriedly bowed.

Qin Zhantian glanced at Butler Lin and said, "Go back and tell Lin Zhen that our Qin family will come to annul the engagement tomorrow, and that they should prepare the betrothal gifts we previously offered!"

"If we hadn't prepared, even a single penny less could have wiped the Lin family out of Guiyun City!"

"This..." Butler Lin was about to say something, but after seeing Qin Zhantian's sharp eyes, he still said tremblingly, "Yes, this old servant will go back and report to the head of the family."

He knew that the other party was currently being amicable only because of past friendships. If he were to say more and continue to argue, things might not be so simple.

Immediately, Butler Lin put away the marriage certificate and turned to leave.

Watching Butler Lin leave, Qin Chuan turned to look at Qin Zhantian beside him, about to say something, when he was interrupted by Qin Zhantian.

Qin Zhantian snorted coldly, "This Lin family is really a traitor. They don't even think about who has been supporting them all these years."

Previously, when Chuan'er, your bloodline was lost and your dantian was destroyed, news had already spread in Guiyun City that Lin Yiyi wanted to annul the engagement. It was only after you went to Zangtianyuan that this matter came to an end.

"I never expected that you'd only been back a short while, and the Lin family would actually come knocking to annul the engagement!"

As he spoke, he patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Chuan'er, don't worry, we'll all go with you tomorrow, we'll back you up!"

Upon hearing this, a warm feeling swept through Qin Chuan's heart. Although he was an adopted son of the Qin family, it was precisely because of this sense of belonging that he was willing to risk his life for the Qin family.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I'll go by myself tomorrow first. If the Lin family really doesn't know what's good for them, then we'll start a war against them."

"So that the people of Guiyun City won't say that our Qin family is bullying the weak!"

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements!" Qin Zhantian nodded, also feeling that Qin Chuan's words made some sense.

Suddenly, he looked at Qin Chuan and said seriously, "Chuan'er, tell me the truth, what is your current Xuan Master realm..."

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Qin Chuan knew what Qin Zhantian wanted to ask, and answered directly without hiding anything.

"Good! Good! The Lin family will definitely regret this to the core!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's affirmative answer, Qin Zhantian clenched his fists excitedly.

He knew what it meant for someone to have reached the Xuan Master realm in their teens.

Even within the entire Qianyang Dynasty, they are extremely rare!

……

"What?! They want the Qin family to break off the engagement?! And they want all the betrothal gifts returned?!"

Upon hearing the report from the returning steward, Lin Zhen, the head of the Lin family, immediately stood up from his seat.

“That’s right, and Patriarch Qin said they’ll be coming tomorrow. The bride price can’t be less than a penny…” Butler Lin lowered his head and suddenly said, “Patriarch, this old servant feels that Young Master Qin has changed a lot since he returned, and seems even stronger than before. Should we take it back…”

"Shut up! How strong can that good-for-nothing Qin Chuan be? He's just a piece of trash whose bloodline has been drained and whose dantian has been destroyed. How could my daughter possibly marry such a piece of trash!" Lin Zhen slammed his hand on the table next to him, interrupting Butler Lin.

“That’s right! The Qin family has already declined, not to mention that there’s Qin Chuan, that good-for-nothing, as their young master. What’s there to be afraid of in a cripple whose cultivation is completely gone!” An elder next to him said with a look of disdain.

"What is there to fear from a mere Qin family?"

"Not to mention that good-for-nothing Qin Chuan, even if Qin Zhantian stood in front of me, I would still make him taste my power!"

"..."

The elders all spoke at once, clearly not taking the Qin family seriously.

"Sigh..." Upon hearing this, Butler Lin sighed softly, stopped trying to persuade him, and turned to leave.

"Father! We've already spent most of the Qin family's betrothal gifts. What should we do if Qin Chuan really dares to come tomorrow?"

At this moment, a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance walked out from behind.

She also heard about the Qin family's reply.

"Don't worry, Yiyi! Our Lin family is not what it used to be. Outsiders say we are the fourth largest family in Guiyun City. Even if the Qin family wants to go head-to-head with us, we don't need to be afraid of them!"

Lin Zhen sneered.

"Besides, didn't you say that the young sect master of the Thunderclap Sect has already arrived in Guiyun City? Given your relationship, I doubt that the Qin family would dare to act recklessly!"

The Qin family might be a large clan in Guiyun City, but in the entire Qianyang Dynasty, such families were as numerous as carp crossing a river, utterly incomparable to the behemoth, the Leiming Sect!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yiyi felt much more at ease, and her expression softened considerably.

"That's right! It's all Qin Chuan's fault. He's already a cripple, so he should accept it. If he dares to come tomorrow, break all three of his legs!"
