"Young Master! Bad news! "
After Yin Jue's death, An Ziqing, who was safe and sound after the frost energy dissipated, rushed in while shouting, "Something happened, something big happened!"
She didn't know anything that happened in the middle of the night. When she woke up, Yin Jue had already been burned to ashes.
All the information she received about Yin Jue's death was told to her by Yu Yuan after the event. Although she had doubts in her heart, she still chose to believe her young master.
Yu Yuan slowly stood up, his expression unchanged, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your fiancée's father personally came to Dark Moon City and said that he wants to annul the engagement." An Ziqing was indignant, "He's gone too far. Your engagement with Lin Zhuyun was set by her mother and the Old Master. Before the Lin Family's Matriarch passed away, she told all the Lin Family members that the Lin Family will not annul the engagement!"
"I'm the main character of this engagement, take me there."
… …
"Old Master Yu, I'm very sorry, but the Lin Family hopes that the engagement will be annulled today!"
Inside the Lin Family's hall, Yu Yuan, under An Ziqing's lead, had just arrived outside the hall when he heard a gloomy voice spouting nonsense.
"It's your future father-in-law — Lin Hanyu." The servant girl quietly reminded.
Yu Yuan grinned and nodded to show that he understood.
Lin Hanyu was the Old Master's second son and Lin Zhuyun's father. His cultivation was at the late stage of the Shattering Profound Realm!
After the Old Master passed away, the leaders of the Lin Family's second generation were her two sons.
The one who succeeded the position of Lin Family's patriarch was the eldest son, Lin Fengyan, who had a calm personality. The second son, Lin Hanyu, was arrogant and ruthless, so he wasn't a suitable candidate for the patriarch position.
The two brothers had a very good relationship and didn't have any disputes over the position of the patriarch.
The eldest son, Lin Fengyan, was usually the one in charge of the Lin Family's internal affairs and communication with the outside world.
What needed Lin Hanyu to stand up for was almost always a conflict with the Lin Family's enemies. Perhaps because of this, Lin Hanyu was quite famous in the Lin Family.
In the outside world, he was known for his ferocity and infamy!
At this moment, the one who came to the Yu Family to resolve the engagement wasn't the eldest son, Lin Fengyan, but Lin Hanyu.
What did this mean?
The Yu Family clansmen and guests all had heavy hearts when they saw him walk into the hall and heard his words.
Yin Jue was dead. He died in front of Yu Yuan's pavilion. Yin Jue was one of his trusted aides. Back then, he was the one who had been recruited into the Lin Clan.
It was rumored that he had saved Yin Jue's life before, so Yin Jue was loyal to him.
But now, Yin Jue had inexplicably died. As the master, Lin Han Yu received his daughter's letter and personally came to Anyue City. Not only did he want to dissolve the marriage, he also wanted to find out the truth behind Yin Jue's death.
"Where's Yu Yuan? I heard that brat woke up. Tell him to come see me! "Lin Hanyu shouted.
"Greetings, father-in-law!" Yu Yuan suddenly shouted from outside the hall. Then, under many strange gazes, he walked into the hall openly.
Maid An Ziqing, due to her status, was not qualified to enter and could only wait outside.
The hall was filled with the Yu Family's elders, guest elders, and Yu Yuan's uncles and aunts.
Next to Yu Can were two men and one woman named Yu Wei, Yu Lian, and Yu Hu. They were the children of the old man's younger brother, Yu Ji. Last time, Yu Yuan had met them in a hurry. They didn't talk much, so he didn't have a deep impression of them at the time.
Later, he learned more about his three uncles and aunts from An Ziqing.
In the current Yu Family, Yu Can of the older generation had a younger brother, Yu Ji. In the early years, when the couple went out to search for high grade spirit herbs and plants for the Yu Family, they offended someone and were killed.
At the time, Yu Ji's three children, Yu Wei, Yu Lian, and Yu Hu, were already adults. They stayed in the Yu Family and didn't go out.
Yu Can and Yu Ji also had a younger sister named Yu Ying. When the two brothers were very young, she was chosen by a cultivator and taken away from the Yu Family.
However, to this day, there was still no news of the younger sister named Yu Ying. No one knew if she was dead or alive.
Yu Wei and his siblings were raised by the old man, Yu Can. They respected and loved the old man very much and saw him as their own father.
The old man also trusted and loved them. He left many things in the family to them. Because his son and daughter-in-law were still in the Nine Hell Frigid Abyss, and his grandson was stupid, the old man even raised his eldest nephew, Yu Wei, as the next leader of the Yu Family.
This was something that everyone knew.
"Greetings, grandfather, uncles, and aunts." After Yu Yuan entered, he first bowed to Yu Can, Yu Wei, and his siblings. He walked straight to them before turning around to face Lin Hanyu and his fiancée, whom he had met for the first time.
"Greetings, father-in-law." He bowed to Lin Hanyu, who was dressed like a middle-aged scholar with sharp eyes and a cold expression.
Finally, he looked deeply at Lin Zhuyun, narrowed his eyes, and smiled faintly. "It's our first time meeting. Please give me your advice."
The girl in front of him was slender and elegant. Her eyes were like a mountain stream, clear and bright. She had the demeanor of a noble at such a young age. No wonder the Frigid Yin Sect regarded her as a treasure and wanted to bring her to the Tianyuan Continent.
Even from Yu Yuan's perspective in his previous life, he had to admit that this fiancée was the best choice in both appearance and cultivation talent.
It was understandable that such an unpolished gem would be missed by others and wouldn't be willing to have the slightest blemish on it.
And his own existence was the biggest blemish on this gem, wasn't it?
Thinking to this point, he shook his head and laughed involuntarily.
While he was sizing up Lin Hanyu and Lin Zhuyun, the father and daughter were also sizing him up.
Lin Zhuyun only glanced at him for a moment before closing her eyes, as if she had lost interest.
Ever since she was a child, the name Yu Yuan had only brought her humiliation. Right now, she only wanted to end their engagement as soon as possible and focus on her cultivation so that she could enter the Frigid Yin Sect as soon as possible.
In her heart, even if Yu Yuan woke up, the two of them were destined to be from different worlds. There was absolutely no chance of them being together.
She closed her eyes and didn't even look at him. This was the attitude she gave — the most extreme coldness and contempt!
"Hey! Since you're here, I'll make it clear. You, Yu Yuan, don't deserve to be my son-in-law! "
Lin Hanyu lost his patience after watching for a while, as if he felt that Yu Yuan didn't even have the right to talk to him. He directly said to the old man, Yu Can, with a cold and unyielding attitude, "I'm sure you're aware of the Frigid Yin Sect's attitude. My mother didn't break the engagement with you before she passed away, and as her son, I won't go against it.
"However, if you take the initiative to break the engagement, it won't be against the rules.
"I think you're a wise man. You should know what to do. It's the best choice for the Yu Clan, and the best protection."
Before he came here, he had talked to his daughter. According to Lin Zhuyun, after Yu Yuan's death, the old man must have learned that the Frigid Yin Sect was behind all of this. Therefore, he must have given in and was willing to break off the engagement.
The reason why the old man did that was because he knew about the Frigid Yin Sect's existence and attitude, and was afraid that Yu Yuan would be forced into a corner.
He believed in his daughter's judgment, and also believed that, considering his status, Yu Can should be tactful since he had come to Dark Moon City in person.
However, Yu Can just frowned and didn't say anything. She didn't give him a clear answer.
"Don't be so ungrateful!" Lin Hanyu shouted harshly.
All of the Yu Clan members and guest elders felt like they were about to lose face after hearing his words.
"Clanmaster!"
"Great uncle!"
All of the Yu Clan's guest elders rose to their feet and demanded Yu Can's opinion.
Yu Yuan's narrowed eyes were filled with coldness.
The flames of anger in his heart were gradually ignited as he fixed his gaze on Lin Zhuyun.
He wanted to know if his fiancée would persuade him at this time, and then one would play the bad cop, and the other would play the good cop. They would use both the carrot and the stick to resolve the marriage between the two of them without shedding a drop of blood.
However, Lin Zhuyun didn't seem to notice her father's domineering attitude. She was still resting with her eyes closed like a meditating old monk, as if this had nothing to do with her.
She didn't even want to play the good guy! She was going to play the hard guy, not the slightest bit of softness!
"Good! Very good! "Yu Yuan sneered inwardly.
"Sigh..."
At this moment, Yu Can let out a long sigh, as if he had suddenly come to his senses.
A few days ago, the hope that had been rekindled in his heart had been extinguished by Yin Jue's appearance in front of Yu Yuan's pavilion in the middle of the night.
He was the one who knew the truth.
Of course, Yin Jue had been instigated by the Frigid Yin Sect. Even though his grandson had poisoned him to death with a Turtle Blood Pill, Yin Jue... was only a servant of the Lin Clan.
The Frigid Yin Sect clearly wouldn't allow the engagement to go through, and the dead Yin Jue was nothing.
Now, his grandson had woken up, and he had a mysterious master to teach him cultivation methods. As long as he was careful and nurtured, he might be able to enter the Tranquil Continent and make great achievements in the path of cultivation.
If his grandson was harmed by the Frigid Yin Sect because of his own obsession with the engagement, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
With this thought, Yu Can seemed to have aged a lot. His face was filled with sorrow and helplessness, and he didn't dare to meet the gazes of the other Yu Clan members. He bowed his head and said, "I also think..."
In order for his grandson to escape the persecution of the Frigid Yin Sect, in order for his grandson to live.
"I'll say one more thing!" Lin Hanyu suddenly exclaimed, rudely interrupting Yu Can's next words. Then, under the furious gazes of the other Yu Clan members, he said arrogantly, "The engagement must be annulled! Besides that, I also hope that the Yu Clan will give my daughter the Frost Soul Freezing Crystal.
"My daughter came to your Yu Clan and made your sworn enemy, the Huang Clan, not dare to act rashly. She also helped you with some internal affairs. She should be rewarded.
"The Frost Soul Freezing Crystal is very beneficial to my daughter's cultivation. I think it's very suitable!"
He looked coldly at Yu Can. Relying on the Lin Clan's status in the Silver Moon Empire, his cultivation base, and the Frigid Yin Sect behind him, it was obvious that he was going to take the Frost Soul Freezing Crystal.
