Outside the hall was a plaza paved with white marble. A screen wall was erected on the plaza. It was thirty-three feet tall and twenty-four feet wide. It was extremely grand.
Beside the screen wall, Ji Xueyan looked Ye Chen up and down. After a long time, she said, "I'm here because …"
Ye Chen interrupted her and said, "I know."
"You know?" Ji Xueyan was a little surprised. In her impression, although he was not stupid, he was definitely not smart. But this time, he seemed to have changed.
Ye Chen said self-deprecatingly, "It can't be that you're here to see me!"
Ji Xueyan shook her head, "Of course not. Regardless of whether you've guessed it or not, I have to tell you personally that it's impossible between the two of us."
"So you're here to discuss the annulment of the engagement. After all, if I don't agree, it will be very troublesome for you to resolve the engagement alone. At the very least, you will have to face the dissuasion of many elders, especially since you won't be able to face my mother. She treats you very well and is like a sister to your mother. If we both agree, those elders won't be able to say anything."
Ji Xueyan opened her mouth and found that she did not know what to say. This was different from what she had imagined. She had thought that he would be very angry. No matter what, it was humiliating to have the engagement annulled by the female side. She had already prepared a way to deal with this. That was to let him know the difference in strength between the two of them. The two of them were not compatible and continuing to be entangled would only bring humiliation to themselves. But now, these countermeasures had become useless and she was caught unprepared.
Taking a deep breath, Ji Xueyan found that she had underestimated Ye Chen. At the same time, she felt a little sullen and said in a stiff tone, "You're right, but there is one thing you must remember. Even if you don't agree, I will still annul the engagement. You should have heard of the saying 'dragons don't cohabit with snakes'. The two of us are not people of the same world. I still have a long way to go in the future, and the gap between us will only grow bigger."
"Dragons don't cohabit with snakes!" Ye Chen chuckled and said, "What a good metaphor. You think of yourself as a True Dragon, and I as a little snake. However, it's too early for you to make a metaphor. It's not certain who is the True Dragon. Moreover, even a little snake has the chance to transform into a dragon."
Ji Xueyan could not help but let out a cold smile. The other party was simply boasting shamelessly. Based on the current situation, it was obvious who was the real dragon and who was the little snake, but he actually said that it was uncertain who was the real dragon. Did he think that one day he could become a real dragon and soar through the heavens?
"Alright, I'm not interested in arguing with you about the established facts. I just want to ask you one thing, do you agree to break off the engagement?"
Ye Chen replied without hesitation, "Why wouldn't I agree? I agree to cancel the engagement." Ye Chen knew his potential very well. As long as he had enough time, reaching the Condensing Reality Realm, Clasping Yuan Realm, or even the Astral Reaching Realm would not be a problem for him. Why would he bother with a woman?
Besides, even if he didn't agree, so what? She had even invited the inner master of the Emerald Martial Palace. If he didn't agree, he would only be humiliated. Now that he had agreed, he had turned from passive to active, and had kept his last bit of dignity. Of course, what she had given him today, he would definitely return it in the future. He wanted to let her know that whether or not she was a real dragon was not determined by words, but by actions.
Both of them remained silent for a while.
After a while, Ji Xueyan slightly scratched the crystal ring on her left hand with the middle finger of her right hand. A dim light flashed, and a manual suddenly appeared in her hand.
Ye Chen's pupils shrank. A storage ring.
A storage ring was a legendary treasure for normal people, but it was a must-have item for high-level martial artists. The inside of the ring had its own space, and could store a huge amount of items, such as gold, pellets, herbs, clothes, weapons, they could all be stored inside, and it would be weightless.
He didn't expect her to have a storage ring. Among the core disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School, only two or three people had a storage ring.
"This is a top rank Mortal Realm manual, Iron Bone Godly Palm. If you can learn a thing or two from it, you will be able to beat other martial artists at the same level. But don't worry, this is not a martial art from the Emerald Martial Palace. I got it from a Jianghu bandit that I killed. It will not be a threat to you. Consider it my compensation to you." Ji Xueyan slightly raised her chin, as if she had just thrown out an ordinary item.
"I will take what I want myself." Ye Chen rejected without hesitation. What a joke, it was only a top rank Mortal Realm manual, there was no need for him to sell his pride. Not to mention, if he accepted it, she would look down on him and think that he was a coward.
Ji Xueyan frowned, "Don't you understand? With your talent, I don't know when you will become an inner disciple. "
Ye Chen said coldly, "You don't have to worry about canceling the engagement. I will do what I said. If there is nothing else, I will leave now."
After saying that, Ye Chen turned around and walked towards the main hall. He needed to report to Luo Xinglie before he could leave.
Ji Xueyan was shocked, then she sneered. She thought that Ye Chen was doing it on purpose for her to see. Otherwise, why would he let go of a top rank Mortal Realm manual? After all, a top rank Mortal Realm manual was not easy to find. Unfortunately, Ye Chen was just wasting his time, she would never like him.
On the way, Ye Xuan stopped Ye Chen.
"Why are you so stubborn? Just take it. Why are you so angry?" Ye Xuan had a lot of power in the Ye family. Before, even Ye Chen did not dare to argue with her.
"There are so many manuals in the Sky Cloud Martial School, there is no need."
Ye Xuan shook her head and said, "You have changed, you have become unreasonable. I know you are feeling humiliated, but to be honest, you and Sister Xueyan are not a good match. Her future husband should be someone like the four childes, not a nobody like you. Of course, I am not belittling you, a nobody also has his own way of living, you are better at living a stable life."
I am being unreasonable. Never mind, Ye Chen did not want to talk to these two arrogant women anymore. Sometimes, the more reasonable your words were, the more likely they would think that you were being calculative. If you were being unreasonable, the more aggressive they would be, the better it would be. Therefore, the best way would be to ignore them.
"See you at the end of the year." After saying that, Ye Chen walked into the guest hall.
In the hall.
Mu Fengyuan glanced at Ye Chen, "At least you know yourself. Ji Xueyan is one of the most talented disciples in the Emerald Martial Palace. She is indeed not compatible with you."
Ye Chen cursed in his mind, 'Old man, it's none of your business whether I'm qualified or not. You people from the Emerald Martial Palace are all the same, arrogant and arrogant, thinking that you are no longer a normal human being. Now, even Ye Xuan has gotten this weird habit.
'One day, I will beat all of your disciples one by one. I will let you know that we are all humans, and the Emerald Martial Palace is nothing special.'
Although he thought so, Ye Chen would not say it out loud. Talking back to a Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, who was also an inner master of the Emerald Martial Palace, would be suicidal.
"Leader, I will leave now." Ye Chen bowed to Luo Xinglie.
Luo Xinglie waved his hand, "Since the problem is solved, you can leave now."
"Yes!"
Turning around, Ye Chen did not even look at Ji Xueyan and left without hesitation.
Ye Xuan, who was standing right next to Ji Xueyan, twitched her mouth. She felt a bit embarrassed. They were all disciples of the Ye family, but why was there such a huge gap between them?
Ji Xueyan said softly, "I hope he will not tell aunt Hui about this."
"I don't think he would dare." Ye Xuan said without hesitation.
