To be honest, this method was very old-fashioned, but it was indeed very effective. Xiao Chen couldn't think of a better plan for the time being, so he could only do this for the time being.
As for the young lady of the Wen Family, the engagement was definitely not going to continue.
Under Xiao Chen's instructions, Ning Tai also secretly discussed with the head of the Ning Family, Ning Wen's father, Ning Hao. As long as the conditions proposed by the Wen Family were not too excessive and could be peacefully terminated, they would do so. Xiao Chen was also willing to pay a part of the price for this.
After arriving at the Wen Family, Xiao Chen saw the so-called young lady, Wen Zhu.
This girl's appearance was also considered beautiful, but her aura was very cold and very arrogant.
In fact, in such a high-level world, unless there were some special reasons, any woman's appearance would not be ugly.
That was, their temperament was different.
"Who are they?" The current head of the Wen Family, Wen Ran, frowned when he saw Ning Tai coming with Xiao Chen and a few strangers. He was a little displeased.
"This is my family's distinguished guest. He is Ning Wen's sect elder. After hearing about this, he specially came here." Ning Tai hurriedly introduced them. This explanation was naturally based on what Xiao Chen said.
"Sect elder? When did Ning Wen become a disciple? " Wen Ran, the higher-ups of the Wen Clan, and even Wen Zhu, who had a very arrogant aura ability, looked over in astonishment.
"Well, Ning Wen became a disciple by chance. However, the sect is a bit mysterious and he was not allowed to mention it. If it weren't for this sudden incident, even we wouldn't have known that he became a disciple behind our backs." Ning Tai explained again.
"Really? That's good. Since the sect elder is here, let's make things clear today. Hu Yue, that witch, must die! In addition, you broke the agreement first, so you must pay the price. "Although Wen Ran was a little confused, he did not say much and said directly.
This kind of thing was not bad to say openly, and they had communicated with each other in advance. However, today they came to make things clear and then bargain.
"Hu Yue has been killed. This is proof! As for the penalty, what do you want? "Ning Tai took out a piece of evidence that could prove that Hu Yue had been killed and asked calmly.
The head of the Ning Family, Ning Wen's father, Ning Hao, did not say anything.
"The things on this list must be completed. Apart from that, Ning Wen is not allowed to marry and have children within the next ten years. Your Ning family must also take out an additional hundred years' worth of taxes to make up for it!" Wen Ran took out a list and added lightly.
"What? That's impossible! "This time, Ning Hao didn't even look at the items on the list and spoke directly.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Ning Wen was not allowed to marry and have children within ten thousand years was unacceptable.
For a family like theirs, every direct descendant of the family was incomparably important. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving the family!
Not being able to marry and have children within ten thousand years meant that there would be a temporary break in their main bloodline within ten thousand years. This was a fatal blow to a family force like theirs.
Ten thousand years wasn't a short period of time, but it wasn't a long period of time either. However, it was enough for several generations to grow up.
If they really agreed to this condition, then it would not take ten thousand years for the Ning Family to completely fall from the top families in Broken Demon City. It was even possible that they would be driven out of Broken Demon City.
This proposal could be said to be sinister.
"Ning Hao, it's just ten thousand years. Do you think that my daughter's reputation is not more important than this period of time? If you turn around and let Ning Wen hook up with someone else, how will others look at the Wen Family? "Wen Ran shook his head.
"Hmph, this condition is absolutely impossible. Your Wen Family's reputation is important, but is my Ning Family's reputation not important? If I agree to such a shameful condition, how will Ning Wen conduct himself in the future? "Ning Hao said mercilessly.
Even if they could not marry and have children on the surface, they could still do it secretly. However, if they really agreed, it would be a great insult to the Ning Family's reputation.
"Brother Ning, if you don't even have this much sincerity, then I think we should not talk!" Wen Ran did not care about Ning Hao's attitude and tone. He casually waved his hand as if he wanted to send him off.
"Wen Ran! Don't go too far. Although my Ning Family was in the wrong first, I can agree to all the other conditions except this one! "Ning Hao said coldly.
"Then I can also tell you that I can forgo the other conditions, but this is the only one that must be fulfilled!" Wen Ran sneered.
"You are deliberately humiliating my Ning Family!" Ning Hao slammed the table and stood up.
"It's just a condition. Why are you so agitated? I can even forgo the other aspects of compensation. I can even forgo such a huge amount of wealth. It's just a small condition that you are unwilling to accept. I didn't say anything, so why are you so angry? "Wen Ran said calmly.
"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you're planning. If I agree to this condition, you can use it as an excuse. At that time, all the forces near Broken Demon City will know that my Ning Family will not have a direct descendant for ten thousand years. Moreover, with this condition, even a marriage alliance will not be possible! Your Wen Family will be able to seize the opportunity to build up strength and swallow up my Ning Family in one go, right? "Ning Hao's face was cold as he spoke without the slightest trace of politeness.
"Brother Ning, you're measuring the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. I'm just trying to gain face for my daughter. It's not as complicated as you think," Wen Ran said indifferently.
"Haha, is that so? Otherwise, would a miser like you be willing to give up a large amount of treasures just to make me agree to such a condition? Everyone knows very well what sort of person you are! If you don't change this condition, then let's drop this matter. In any case, my Ning Family did not intend to forcefully attach themselves to you in the marriage agreement! "Ning Hao sneered without end.
"Brother Ning, then I advise you to consider it carefully. If you don't agree, then don't blame me for disregarding the many years of friendship between our two families and seeking justice for my precious daughter!" Wen Ran stood up as well and spoke coldly.
"Good, good, good! Looks like you planned this beforehand, and this matter was only a pretense. "Ning Hao was extremely furious.
"I can't be bothered to speak any further with you. Either you agree, or you go back obediently and prepare to leave Broken Demon City." Wen Ran laughed with disdain.
"Hahaha! Wen Ran, looks like the rumors of the outside world that your Wen Family sacrificed an inherited treasure to form a relationship with the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land is true! No wonder you have the confidence to speak like this. Looks like the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land is supporting you from behind. Alright, I admit defeat! "Ning Hao suddenly roared with laughter, and then he revealed a slightly sorrowful expression.
"Soaring Rainbow Holy Land?" A slightly strange feeling surged into Xiao Chen's heart. Why is it that no matter where I go, it's related to the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land?
