Breaking off the engagement
"This old fogey finally couldn't take it anymore, but it's reasonable. I broke his beloved son's arm and leg, and even made the Murong family take out a million taels of silver for nothing. If this old fogey still acts like nothing has happened, then there's a ghost."
Yun Feiyang sneered in his heart.
"For the Emperor's birthday, I, Yun Zhan, will naturally prepare a small gift. However, my Yun family's wealth is too thin and I don't have any treasures that I can take out. Compared to your Grand Preceptor's inner core, it's even less presentable."
Yun Zhan completely ignored Grand Preceptor Murong's words. As he spoke, he took out a sword from behind him. With a swoosh, Yun Zhan pulled out the treasured sword from within, and the sword's body immediately emitted a buzzing sound that was soul-stirring.
"Your Majesty, this sword has been with me for many years. Although it is far inferior to a spirit weapon, it is the most precious thing in my Yun family. Please don't despise it, Your Majesty."
Yun Zhan said. Although this sword could cut through iron like mud, it wasn't rare. There were many swords like this in the great clans. However, Yun Zhan's words were clever. He said that this sword was the most precious thing of the Yun family. He secretly meant that he, Yun Zhan, didn't have any real treasures, so he didn't have any rebellious thoughts. He also said that this sword was something he carried with him. This indirectly showed his loyalty to Xuan. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort.
"Gao Ming!"
Fourth Prince Chu Zheng secretly gave Yun Zhan a thumbs up. If Yun Zhan really took out a treasure comparable to the Grand Preceptor, it would backfire. Not only would he not be appreciated by Xuan, but it would also make him wary. It could be said that the more ordinary Yun Zhan's performance was, the more unbearable it was, the happier Xuan was.
"General, you are too serious. How can I take away what you love? I will give you this sword."
Xuan said, displaying a grand bearing.
"What a disgrace. A great general actually took a piece of scrap metal to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. I feel embarrassed."
A mocking voice came from behind the Grand Preceptor. It was Murong Kui. This fellow hated the Yun Family to the bone. Now that he had a chance to humiliate the other party, how could he let it go?
"Yeah, our Yun family is poor. It's not like your Murong family. We bring elite soldiers on the streets and our family background is even stronger. We don't even frown at one million taels of silver. We're simply rich enough to rival a country."
Yun Feiyang immediately retaliated. He had probably said the words " rich enough to rival a country " very loudly, so that everyone present could hear it. This fellow had never forgotten to label the Murong family as a rebel.
"You're talking nonsense. Our Murong family is loyal to His Majesty, how can your Yun family compare to us?"
Murong Kui stood up abruptly and roared at Yun Feiyang. For some reason, he could not control his emotions whenever he heard Yun Feiyang speak. He had even lost his composure in front of the Emperor.
"Oh? Looking at Young Master Murong's battle formation, could it be that he wants to spar with me again?"
As he spoke, Yun Feiyang even pulled up his sleeves pretentiously, looking like a hooligan. His appearance was coincidentally seen by Princess Mo Yu behind Xuan, causing her to hate Yun Feiyang even more. She secretly made up her mind that she would never marry this hooligan.
"Impudent!"
"Impudent!"
Two voices rang out at the same time. It was actually the Grand Preceptor and Yun Zhan. Of course, they were both talking to their own sons. It was fine if this kind of profligate young master was usually fearless, but today was the Emperor's birthday. All the nobles in Dou Xuan City were here, so wouldn't they become a joke?
"Grand Preceptor, Great General, Zhen has also heard about the grudges between your two families. It's not a big deal, just a child playing. Today, Zhen will be the peacemaker and the grudges between your two families will be settled. How about it?"
Xuan finally spoke. He had been paying attention to Yun Feiyang's every move since the beginning, wanting to see through his background.
Xuan left his throne and went down.
"Two nephews, come here."
Murong Kui and Yun Feiyang followed his instructions and walked to Xuan's side. Xuan held one of them in each hand, looking very kind.
"Hmm? Trying to test me, hmph!"
When Xuan grabbed Yun Feiyang's arm, Yun Feiyang felt a warm current flow through his arm into his body. Yun Feiyang relaxed and removed all his defenses, pretending not to know.
When this warm current flowed into Yun Feiyang's dantian, it immediately dissipated.
"You want to test if I can cultivate inner strength? I've disappointed you. My cultivation method is so mysterious. What can you tell with your strength at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Stage?"
Yun Feiyang sneered in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
"As expected, he can't cultivate inner strength. He's just a hothead and can't become anything great. It seems that I've worried too much. However, I heard from Ying that this child has brute strength. Could it really be some fortuitous encounter?"
Xuan thought to himself. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. Since Yun Feiyang couldn't pose a threat to him, he wouldn't take the Yun family to heart. He believed that Yun Zhan wouldn't betray him at all costs.
"Father, I want to break off the engagement."
At this moment, Princess Mo Yu suddenly shouted. Her voice was filled with grievance and unwillingness.
"What is it? Princess Mo Yu actually wants to publicly break off the engagement. Isn't this a slap to the Yun family's face in public?"
" It's no wonder. Look at that kid from the Yun family. Although he's no longer the sissy he used to be, it's hard to change his nature. A silkpants is a silkpants, and he can't cultivate inner strength. He's simply trash among trash. Princess Mo Yu is so talented. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also at the fifth tier of inner strength at such a young age. It's a pity to marry that trash."
" You can't say that. General Yun has made great contributions to the empire. Even if Princess Mo Yu is unwilling, I believe His Majesty will give the Yun family an explanation."
" I don't know if I can really break off the engagement. If I really do, I'll have a chance. If I can marry Princess Mo Yu, I'm willing to die."
................
Yun Feiyang's divine sense rippled. Everything these people said could not escape his ears. However, he remained indifferent. To be honest, Yun Feiyang was more than happy that the princess could cancel the engagement. Putting aside the fact that the two of them would eventually become enemies, even if there was no such hatred, Yun Feiyang would still not marry Princess Mo Yu. There was only one woman in his heart.
Princess Mo Yu's public rejection of the engagement had caused Yun Feiyang to view this girl in a new light. Her unwillingness to be manipulated by others was very similar to Yun Feiyang's. Yun Feiyang's experience when he was trained as an assassin on the isolated island was also beyond his control. In order to escape that fate of being manipulated by others, Yun Feiyang wielded his sword to slaughter the spirits.
And now, Princess Mo Yu was unwilling to marry a good-for-nothing and publicly broke off the engagement. After all, she was born into a royal family and had no personal freedom to speak of. Marriage was a matter that the emperor could decide with a single word.
"Shut up! Marriage is not something you can decide on your own. General Yun is the Great General of the Nation. You will be a good match for the Yun family if you marry into them. Don't mess around.”
Xuan said angrily. He didn't think that his daughter would bring this up in public. What kind of occasion was this? All the nobles of Dou Xuan were present today. How could he have any face left?
"Wait!"
Yun Feiyang interrupted Xuan and walked up to Princess Mo Yu.
" Princess Mo Yu, you're a noble lady, so it's reasonable for you to look down on me. Even so, I, Yun Feiyang, admire you very much. I don't admire your beauty or talent, and I don't have any thoughts of climbing up the social ladder. I admire your courage. To be able to say that you're breaking off the engagement in such an occasion, I'm impressed."
Yun Feiyang paused for a moment before continuing.
" To be honest, you don't like me, Yun Feiyang, and I don't like you. Since there's no love between us, you won't be happy even if you marry into the Yun family. Although I, Yun Feiyang, am unbearable, I won't do anything to force you. My Yun family will never force anyone to do something they don't want to do. So, today, it's not you, Princess Mo Yu, who wants to break off the engagement. It's me, Yun Feiyang, who wants to break off the engagement. My Yun family wants to break off the engagement."
Yun Feiyang's expression suddenly turned serious as he spoke to Xuan.
" Your Majesty, in front of all the nobles today, I, Yun Feiyang, request to annul the engagement. I beg Your Majesty to agree."
Yun Feiyang's voice was loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears.
