"Yo."
"The waste has returned."
"Haha, it really is this waste."
Seeing Xiao Zhan appear, many people made disdainful noises, waiting to watch the show.
And when Liu Ruyan saw the young man appear, she also raised her head to look.
She looked at her fiancé whom she had never met before.
However.
After only glancing at him briefly, she no longer paid much attention. Instead, she said flatly: "Now that you're back, please make a decision quickly!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan clenched his teeth tightly and looked back at Liu Ruyan, asking heavily: "Ms. Liu, although we have been engaged since childhood, I have never seen you before. Even if you have great achievements in the future, I, Xiao Zhan, have never coveted you or had any feelings for you. So even if we are to break off the engagement, I have no reluctance."
"However!"
"Breaking off the engagement is one thing, but why did you gather so many people here today? Is it deliberately trying to humiliate my Xiao family, deliberately trying to humiliate my father?"
Liu Ruyan raised her head slightly to look at Xiao Yun.
"Young Master Xiao, you have misunderstood. I did not intend to humiliate you, I just wanted to invite everyone to witness, after all, everyone present are nearby forces of Tianxing City, and they have always known about our Liu and Xiao families." Liu Ruyan said lightly.
"Witness, witness what?"
"Witness my Xiao family being dumped?"
Xiao Zhan said with red eyes: "After all, our two families were close friends. To be exact, my Xiao family has done your Liu family a great favor. What position does this put my Xiao family in, what position does this put my father in?"
"I said, you misunderstood. At the same time, please don't keep mentioning grace and favors."
Liu Ruyan explained expressionlessly.
After saying that.
She took out an exquisite jade box, and then took out a shimmering long sword.
"The box contains intermediate-grade pills, Tongxian Dan."
"This sword is an intermediate-grade immortal artifact, Xia Guang Sword."
"There is also a storage ring with a large amount of resources inside."
"As long as you agree to break off the engagement, you can take all these things."
"So what I meant by witness is that I just want everyone to know that my Liu family is not so unfeeling, nor are we the kind who forget old friends after achieving success. Even if I break off the engagement with you, I will still give your Xiao family proper compensation."
Liu Ruyan said lightly.
As Liu Ruyan's words fell, the crowd immediately cried out in surprise.
"It's actually intermediate-grade immortal pills!"
"That's right, there is also the intermediate-grade immortal artifact Xia Guang Sword. As expected from Tianling Sect, such generosity!"
Greed shone in everyone's eyes.
They should know that none of them even had a low-grade immortal artifact, let alone an intermediate-grade one.
If they owned a treasure like the Xia Guang Sword, they would be able to fight above their level.
It is sufficient to show.
The weight of an intermediate-grade immortal artifact.
"Xiao Zhan, your Xiao family is satisfied, don't make excessive demands. Ms. Liu has given you intermediate-grade immortal pills and artifact, what more do you want?"
"That's right, do you even see what kind of waste Xiao Zhan is, is he worthy of Ms. Liu? Stop shamelessly delaying her reputation."
"That's right, hurry up and agree to Ms. Liu. She has already been very gracious to your family!"
The crowd made another flurry of chirping noises.
"Very well, what a good scheme!"
At this moment, Xiao Zhan had almost dug his nails into his flesh. His eyes flickered with thick hatred and unwillingness.
He hated.
He hated his own lack of strength.
If he had enough strength today, how could he and his father be so humiliated?
What Liu Ruyan did.
Was undoubtedly making herself out to be virtuous after acting like a slut.
In the first place, his Xiao family was not unwilling to break off the engagement, and didn't even need any compensation.
But things should never have turned out like this. While trampling his Xiao family, Liu Ruyan also wanted to make her Liu family look good.
"This marriage, I will not break off."
Xiao Zhan transmitted his voice through gritted teeth one word at a time.
The only thing he could do was this.
Even if he died!
If this marriage was terminated, his Xiao family would never be able to hold their heads high in the virtual realm, and his father as well as the entire Xiao family would live under other people's ridicule for life.
Liu Ruyan's eyes narrowed.
"Are you not satisfied with what I gave you?" She asked heavily. A strong pressure swept towards Xiao Zhan.
"I don't need your things, but I refuse to break off the engagement!" Facing Liu Ruyan's pressure, Xiao Zhan's weak figure transmitted a firm voice.
"Humph!"
Liu Ruyan snorted coldly. "I know you feel very unwilling. This matter is indeed humiliating for your Xiao family. But you should understand that this world is one where the strong are respected, it is unfair to begin with!"
"If we switch places today, and your innate talent far exceeds mine, you can come to my Tianling Sect to break off the engagement, and I, Liu Ruyan, would have nothing to say."
"So why do you still persist in delusion?"
Hearing this.
Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth bitterly, filled with hatred and unwillingness over his own lack of strength.
How he wished he could switch positions now and trample Liu Ruyan under his feet!
"Do you really want to prove yourself?"
Seeing Xiao Zhan's appearance, Liu Ruyan said expressionlessly, "I can give you a chance to prove yourself."
"Of course, it is mainly because of the previous ties between our two families. I don't want it to become too humiliating."
"So I will give you three years. I will wait for you at Tianling Sect for three years. If you become stronger than me, I, Liu Ruyan will not break off the engagement, and will even serve you however you see fit."
"But if you fail to defeat me, I will annul our engagement publicly!"
"What do you think?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Xiao Zhan lightly, waiting for his response.
Xiao Zhan's figure trembled, and his face was filled with bitter laughter.
How could he not see that this woman was certain he would have no achievements in three years, and even if he did, he would absolutely be unable to surpass her?
After all.
One was a waste young master of a small family.
The other was the proud daughter of Tianling Sect.
How could they compare?
And when the three years were up, she would have both broken off the engagement and preserved her reputation, without seeming heartless.
As for him, Xiao Zhan, he would bear humiliation and live under ridicule forever.
What a scheme!
Just as Xiao Zhan felt powerless and didn't know what to do, an icy voice suddenly came from outside.
"Who do you think you are?"
"You dare speak of three years, you think too highly of yourself."
"Kneel before my apprentice and be his ox and horse, three days would suffice!"
As the voice fell, a group of people walked in slowly, led by a cold and arrogant white-clothed woman.
