Back in Kargath Academy, when she heard that her father had already arranged a marriage for her, the Glan Princess was extremely opposed to the marriage that was arranged without her consent. She had even taken the initiative to ask her father to cancel the marriage several times, but she had returned empty-handed every time.
However, after all these years of growth, Princess Glan had gradually come to understand that the Gesun Kingdom was still a developing kingdom. Although she was the princess of a kingdom and had a delicate status, there were many things that were beyond her control. Take marriage as an example. When it came to matters that concerned her lifelong happiness, it was difficult for her to have a choice. In this life, she was destined to be a sacrifice for the kingdom's peace and prosperity. This caused her heart to gradually mature, and she slowly accepted such things.
The Glan Princess was extremely opposed to the marriage that the king had arranged for her. However, ever since she heard about Jianchen's achievements and saw Jianchen, the Glan Princess' heart gradually changed. She gradually accepted Jianchen. After all, Jianchen was so handsome and talented. He was already a Heaven Saint Master at the age of twenty-one. His future was limitless. He also had another identity as the Imperial Tutor of the Qin Empire. He was neither arrogant nor hot-tempered, and he was amiable and respectful. Being enveloped by so many halos of glory, Jianchen's image in the Glan Princess' heart became extremely great. He could be said to be the killer of all the girls in the world, the Prince Charming in their hearts.
Previously, the Glan Princess was secretly delighted about the marriage because Jianchen was so outstanding. It would be difficult to find a second person like Jianchen in the entire world. Moreover, his special identity and great strength were extremely important to the Glan Kingdom. She felt a little excited that her future husband was such an outstanding person.
However, at this moment, Jianchen actually took the initiative to cancel the engagement. This made the Princess of Glan feel very disappointed. Although the Princess of Glan did not develop feelings for Jianchen in this short period of time, Jianchen's excellence had already moved her heart.
For a moment, both of them were silent. Neither of them spoke. After a long while, the Princess of Glan finally broke the strange silence and said, "Changyang Shōten, can you tell me why you want to dissolve this marriage? Could it be that you already have someone in your heart?"
Jianchen shook his head and said, "Princess Glan, I'm sure you know what happened to me back then. I left Changyang Prefecture alone and wandered around for a few years. Although I was lucky enough to survive in the end, I provoked many enemies outside. Some of them were very powerful, and even I can't fight against them now. Moreover, perhaps in the near future, something even more serious will happen. Even I can't predict the outcome of this matter. Right now, I only want to focus on increasing my strength so that I can deal with the possible calamity in the future. I don't want to waste time on relationships. "
After hearing Jianchen's words, the Princess of Glan gently sighed in relief. She looked at Jianchen's resolute and handsome face with a smile and said gently, "Changyang Shōten, it's no wonder you were able to reach your current realm in just a few years. It seems that you've been working very hard on your cultivation. You must have suffered a lot over the years."
When Jianchen heard about the suffering outside, he sighed in his heart. He had indeed worked very hard in the past few years and had paid a lot. Not only had he been on the brink of death time and time again, there was even one time where he had truly died. It was not a coincidence that he was able to achieve what he had today.
"Princess, I hope you can understand. Right now, I don't want to talk about relationships. I need to increase my strength as quickly as possible to deal with the future." Jianchen spoke again, but in his heart, he thought of the Shi Family and the Jiede Family. These two families had Saint Kings in their ranks, which was what Jianchen was most afraid of.
There was also the Qiangan Kingdom, Yangji Zong, and the Guardian Family mentioned by the old headmaster who escaped. This made Jianchen a little worried. Could it be another powerful force that was difficult to deal with? However, from the old headmaster's words, Jianchen was able to deduce that the Guardian Family's strength was probably beyond his imagination.
Lastly, there was the matter of the White Tiger. Jianchen had always kept Uncle Xiu's warning in mind. He needed to increase the White Tiger's strength as quickly as possible. Perhaps the White Tiger's matter would also cause a storm. The Gilligan Family and the White Tiger had already become enemies. With the White Tiger's status as a Winged Tiger, the Gilligan Family would definitely not allow it to grow. This was because it would be a disaster for the Gilligan Family.
Now, Jianchen was worried that the King of the Gilligan Family would ignore the agreement with the humans and leave the Cross Mountains to personally hunt down the White Tiger. This was a terrifying existence that could easily kill a Saint King. Jianchen did not dare to imagine if he would be able to escape from the Gilligan Family.
After a moment of hesitation, the princess said, "Changyang Shōten, my father personally decided on this marriage back then. Now that you want my father to cancel it, have you considered the dignity of the imperial family?"
Seeing how Jianchen remained silent, the princess hesitated for a while before finally coming up with an idea. After a moment of hesitation, she still said, "How about this? The two of us can go to father and tell him to postpone the marriage indefinitely."
"If that's the case, You Yue, you …" Jianchen became rather troubled. If he did that, he would be wasting the princess' youth. Right now, he only wanted to increase his strength so that he could deal with the future. He had not considered his marriage at all.
Princess Glan sighed softly. She felt a little helpless when she made such a decision. If it were before, she definitely would have agreed without any hesitation if Jianchen proposed to cancel the marriage, but now …
"Hmm? Princess Glan, I never thought I'd see you here. What a coincidence." Suddenly, laughter rang out from nearby. A young man walked over with a smile on his face. He seemed to be around the same age as Jianchen and was also extremely handsome. However, he seemed rather scholarly, which was very different from Jianchen's resolute face.
Two guards followed behind the young man. They seemed to be in their fifties, and their faces were composed while their gazes were sharp.
"He's the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom," the princess whispered to Jianchen.
Jianchen nodded slightly. His gaze only casually glanced at the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom before he lost interest. He began to admire the colorful sea of flowers around him.
The second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was wearing a luxurious robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. He walked over elegantly from afar and sat down on the stone bench without waiting for the host's greeting. He did not even look at Jianchen. With a bright smile on his face, he said to the princess, "I never thought that I would meet the princess of the Glan Kingdom just by strolling around. It seems that this prince and the princess of the Glan Kingdom are really fated."
After the princess of the Glan Kingdom and the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom exchanged some pleasantries, the second prince finally noticed Jianchen. He smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, this must be the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten." Although the second prince had a smile on his face, his expression was arrogant and his tone was filled with unconcealable arrogance. He looked at Jianchen with a hint of disdain.
"That's right, it's me." Jianchen said expressionlessly.
The second prince smiled and turned to look at the princess of the Glan Kingdom. He said, "Princess, I would like to speak with young master Changyang Shōten alone."
The princess of the Glan Kingdom hesitated for a moment before standing up from the stone bench. She said, "Then I won't disturb the two of you." With that, she walked out of the pavilion and walked through the sea of flowers alone.
After the princess of the Glan Kingdom left, the smile on the second prince's face disappeared. He looked at Jianchen with a threatening gaze and said in a deep voice, "Changyang Shōten, this prince knows that you are already engaged to the princess of the Glan Kingdom. However, the princess of the Glan Kingdom is someone that this prince has taken a fancy to. Anyone who dares to have any ideas about the princess of the Glan Kingdom is going against this prince. Therefore, this prince hopes that you can ask his majesty to cancel this engagement."
Jianchen looked at the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom with a mocking expression. He said, "It's not up to you to interfere in my affairs. Furthermore, you don't have the right to interfere. Your Highness, if there's nothing else, please leave."
The second prince's expression changed. He looked at Jianchen with a cold gaze and his tone became cold. He said, "Changyang Shōten, do you know what you're saying? Do you really want to make an enemy of this prince? Do you want to bring disaster to Changyang Prefecture? It seems like you don't know the strength of my Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. "
A cold smile appeared on Jianchen's lips. Since the second prince was so rude, he couldn't be bothered to give him any face. He said disdainfully, "Your Highness, what right do you have to be my enemy? Changyang Prefecture isn't something that you can provoke. As for the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, do you believe that I can make your kingdom disappear overnight with just a word?"
"How dare you!" The second prince was enraged. He slapped the stone table in front of him into two halves. He looked at Jianchen with eyes full of killing intent. He shouted angrily, "Changyang Shōten, who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Since you're seeking your own death, then this prince will fulfill your wish. Since you dare to insult my Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, no one can save you now. Men, take him down and bring him back to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom to be dealt with by my Imperial Father."
The two guards standing behind the second prince stepped forward with gloomy expressions. Their sharp gazes were filled with killing intent. Jianchen's words had caused their hearts to be filled with killing intent. The two of them each stretched out a hand to grab Jianchen's shoulder. They didn't put Jianchen in their eyes at all.
