Huang Luan's matter had finally been resolved. Jianchen smiled as well, but he knew that it was all thanks to Jianchen. If it were not for Ming Dong's relationship with uncle Tian, Jianchen probably would not have been able to ask uncle Tian to help him.
However, Jianchen was extremely surprised by uncle Tian's identity. He was the grand elder of Mercenary City. Although he did not know just how great of a status this was in Mercenary City, he could vaguely guess it from the grand elder's identity.
Jianchen and Ming Dong did not stay there for too long. They left the mountain and left with the Huang family's patriarch.
After what had happened earlier, the Huang family's ancestor treated Jianchen and Ming Dong completely differently. He actually personally flew with the two of them, completely forsaking his status as a Saint Ruler. They chatted and laughed as they made their way to the Huang family's villa.
The three of them stopped before the discussion hall in the center of the villa. At the same time, many Heaven Saint Masters hurried over from all directions. They all gathered before the discussion hall and all of them knelt down on one knee. They called out, "We greet the ancestor!" Along the way, the Huang family's ancestor had informed them through a communication technique.
"Rise and come with me. Old Man has something to announce." With that, the Huang family's ancestor directly made his way into the discussion hall with a swing of his sleeve.
The Heaven Saint Masters of the Huang family looked at each other before shifting their gazes to Jian Chen. Their hearts skipped a beat as they thought of something.
As a hermit clan that had existed for several thousand years, the Huang family had quite a few Heaven Saint Masters. Just the ones that Jianchen had seen so far numbered thirteen. However, all thirteen of them held positions in the Huang family. Those who did not care about the affairs of the clan and only focused on cultivation were not present, including the two previous patriarchs that Jianchen had seen for the first time.
Very soon, everyone gathered in the discussion hall. The thirteen Heaven Saint Masters sat on the two sides of the hall quietly as they respectfully looked at the Huang family's ancestor. Jianchen and Ming Dong sat at the very front under the ancestor's indication.
Many of the people present already knew Jianchen's identity. As the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, he did indeed have the right to sit there.
However, the fact that Ming Dong, an Earth Saint Master, was sitting in such a high position puzzled everyone. However, no one dared to object because this was the ancestor of the Huang family's decision. They could only guess at Ming Dong's identity, wondering which clan he belonged to.
The Huang family's ancestor did not beat around the bush and directly cut to the chase. He said, "Old Man has gathered everyone here today because he has something to announce." The ancestor of the Huang family paused and glanced at the experts of the Huang family below with bright eyes. He said, "From now on, the marriage between Huang Luan and the Clan of the Ancients is canceled. Immediately send someone to inform the Clan of the Ancients about this!"
As soon as the ancestor of the Huang family finished speaking, many people's expressions changed. However, there were also some who smiled. In their opinion, the reason why the ancestor of the Huang family canceled the marriage with a Remote Antiquity clan was because he had found more powerful reinforcements. The Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom was the best proof of that.
"Ancestor, this is a matter of great importance. If we cancel the marriage on our own, it will undoubtedly be a slap to the face of the Clan of the Ancients. They will definitely become dissatisfied with us. If the situation worsens, our friendship with the Clan of the Ancients will be destroyed," an old man said sternly.
"Elder Ping is right. Ancestor, we can't cancel the marriage. We have been friends with the Clan of the Ancients for hundreds of years. At the same time, the Clan of the Ancients values Huang Luan very much. If we do this, it will definitely destroy our friendship. Ancestor, please reconsider," another old man said. He was very against the idea of canceling the marriage.
The Huang family's ancestor's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at the two old men and said, "Ping Qiao, Huang Yingran, Old Man knows that you have a good relationship with the Clan of the Ancients. However, the Old Man has already made up his mind. He can't change it. You two don't need to say more."
The ancestor of the Huang family was so resolute that there was no room for negotiation. Everyone could tell that the ancestor of the Huang family was determined to cancel the marriage by force.
At this moment, there was no point in arguing. Even those who had a good relationship with the Clan of the Ancients could only shut their mouths helplessly.
"It's settled then. Send someone to inform the Clan of the Ancients right away and bring generous gifts as compensation," the ancestor of the Huang family said.
"Yes, ancestor!" Everyone replied in unison.
The ancestor of the Huang family announced again, "In addition, the Old Man has something else to announce. Jianchen and Ming Dong will be the most esteemed guests of my Huang family from today onwards. Everyone must treat them with respect. If you neglect them, you will be severely punished by the Old Man!" The ancestor of the Huang family became extremely stern towards the end.
The two of them had the grand elder of Mercenary City behind them. They could not afford to offend him. The ancestor of the Huang family had already made up his mind. He would do everything he could to rope in the two of them.
Everyone below trembled violently. They all stared at Ming Dong in shock. None of them had thought that the ancestor of the Huang family would place so much importance on Ming Dong. Jianchen's identity as the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire was understandable, so he should have received such treatment. However, everyone was curious about Ming Dong's identity.
The ancestor of the Huang family did not introduce Ming Dong in too much detail because his understanding of Ming Dong was extremely shallow. He only knew Ming Dong's name from how Jianchen had addressed him. However, after the disturbance caused by the ancestor of the Huang family, Ming Dong had gained a very high status despite being an outsider. All the Heaven Saint Masters had to treat Ming Dong politely. This was unprecedented in the history of the Huang family.
After the meeting, the ancestor of the Huang family did not return to the back mountains to cultivate. Instead, he held a banquet and personally received Jianchen and Ming Dong. The actions of the ancestor of the Huang family stunned all the Heaven Saint Masters of the Huang family. A mighty Saint Ruler personally receiving an Earth Saint Master was definitely unheard of on the Tian Yuan Continent.
However, this also made the experts of the Huang family even more curious about Ming Dong's identity. However, due to the ancestor of the Huang family, they could not directly ask about it, so they could only make wild guesses.
Jianchen did not participate in the banquet. After bidding farewell to the ancestor of the Huang family, he directly made his way to Huang Luan's small residence. He wanted to tell her the good news.
Jianchen entered the residence without any obstructions. He then made his way to the second floor. This time, Jianchen did not smell the pleasant fragrance. The fragrance from two days ago had completely vanished.
Jianchen casually glanced around and discovered Huang Luan's figure. She still wore a black dress. Just like two days ago, she stood by the window and stared blankly at the scenery outside. She did not seem to be on guard at all. She did not even sense Jianchen's arrival.
Jianchen sighed inside when he saw that Huang Luan had actually failed to sense his arrival. He could imagine just how much damage the marriage between the Huang family and the Primordial clan had done to Huang Luan, to the point where she had become so dejected. Fortunately, the matter had been completely resolved.
"Miss Huang Luan!" Jianchen called out.
The sudden voice seemed to startle Huang Luan, causing her to tremble violently. She immediately turned around and looked at Jianchen nervously. She knew extremely well that whether she could pursue her own happiness in the future would all depend on Jianchen.
Jianchen could not help but smile when he saw how nervous Huang Luan was. He said, "Miss Huang Luan, I'm very happy to tell you that I've already resolved the matter for you. The ancestor of your Huang family has annulled the marriage between you and the Primordial clan, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Huang Luan was stunned for a moment, but it was soon replaced by surprise. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she asked in an excited tone, "Re … Are you sure? Y- you're not lying to me. Has the ancestor really annulled the marriage between me and the Primordial clan? " During this time, she had been troubled and unhappy. The marriage between her and the second young master of the Primordial clan was like a curse that tightly wrapped around her, tormenting her. Not only did she dislike the second young master of the Primordial clan, but most importantly, she already had someone she loved. That person was so outstanding and outstanding, basically the embodiment of perfection. Now, the curse that tightly bound her had finally been lifted, and it was lifted by the person she loved. She was overwhelmed with joy.
Although she had no idea how Jianchen had managed to change the ancestor of the Huang family, she was smart enough to understand that it was definitely not easy for the ancestor of the Huang family to annul the marriage regardless of the consequences of offending the Primordial clan.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask around right now," Jianchen smiled.
