147: Chapter 147 With His Heart Already Belonging, Xu Tian Was Stunned!

Lin Yi finally stood up at this moment, his movements casual.

Yet he was like a great mountain descending upon the banquet, directly suppressing the atmosphere of the entire venue.

He stood half a step in front of Shen Qingyue, neither more nor less, just enough to shield her behind him.

Seeing this scene, the flames of jealousy in Xu Tian's eyes flared up again instantly.

Lin Yi merely looked at him, the corners of his lips slowly curling into a cold arc.

“A single marriage contract.”

“A few old dogs.”

“And you dare demand someone from This Holy Son!”

“Xu Tian.”

“Do you really think you're something special?!”

As his voice fell,

the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense to the extreme.

Xu Tian's palm trembled, and he almost lashed out on the spot.

But he still gritted his teeth hard.

Because he knew very well.

Tonight, he could not lose his cool.

At least not before the marriage contract card was fully played.

He stared at Lin Yi, squeezing out words one by one from his throat.

“Lin Yi.”

“She belongs to the Shen Family.”

“This marriage contract is also a marriage contract of the Shen Family.”

“You can stop me for a moment, but you can't stop me for a lifetime!”

Lin Yi laughed.

“Is that so.”

“Then This Holy Son would like to see tonight.”

“If that life of yours can even last a lifetime!”

The gazes of the two clashed directly in mid-air.

The surrounding crowd didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Everyone knew.

Tonight's matter was no longer as simple as a piece of paper.

It was Xu Tian holding an old covenant of the Heaven and Earth Gate and publicly trampling in front of Lin Yi.

Next.

Either Xu Tian would lose his life,

or the Heaven and Earth Gate would lose face.

Perhaps,

both would be lost.

Above the Holy Lake, the mist swirled.

That ancient marriage contract still hung in mid-air, its golden characters flashing like a heavy shadow of a bygone era pressing down on everyone's heads.

Shen Qingyue slowly rose, her white robes draping down, her gaze cold and clear.

She looked at that marriage contract and finally stepped forward.

Her hem brushed across the jade platform, and her footsteps were light, making the entire banquet hall even quieter.

She raised her eyes, looked at the marriage contract in the air, and then looked at Xu Tian.

“Are you finished?”

Xu Tian's expression faltered slightly, and he subconsciously frowned.

Shen Qingyue raised her fingertip slightly, pointing straight at the marriage contract, her tone terrifyingly calm.

“The Shen Family has indeed declined.”

“The clansmen have scattered, the ancestral land is gone, and the glory of the old era has been buried in the dust.”

As she said this, her eyes lifted slightly, and her entire Aura underwent a sudden change.

“But as long as I am still alive, the Shen Family's Legacy can never be severed!”

“While I am here, the Shen Family exists!”

“I, Shen Qingyue, am the current leader of the Shen Family!”

The surroundings fell silent.

Many people looked at this woman in white, their expressions changing.

At the Yaochi Feast, Shen Qingyue had always given the impression of being cold, quiet, and a woman of few words.

But at this moment, her words were becoming harder with every sentence.

Like a palm strike, she shook off all the old dust weighing her down.

Xu Tian's face began to darken.

He vaguely guessed what Shen Qingyue was going to say, but he preferred to be wrong.

In the next breath,

Shen Qingyue looked at him, her words clear.

“Today, in the name of the Shen Family, I tell you personally.”

“This marriage contract, I, Shen Qingyue, do not recognize it!”

“From now on, it is void!”

Boom!

The sound of discussion in the field suddenly exploded.

“Voided?”

“She actually directly nullified the marriage contract with Xu Tian?”

“She really dares to say it; the weight of these words is too heavy!”

“She is indeed the only remaining Bloodline of the Shen Family now. Such a decision is naturally within her rights.”

“Heh, in that case, Xu Tian is probably going to be driven mad with rage tonight!”

With discussions rising everywhere, how could Xu Tian remain seated?

His face darkened abruptly, and he took a step forward, his sleeves bringing a gust of wind.

“Voided?”

“Shen Qingyue, you say it's voided just like that?”

“This is an eternal old covenant left by the ancestors of both families. Who are you to dare change it?”

“The marriage contract is here, and the ancestral imprint is here. Since you carry the Shen Family Bloodline, you should follow the ancestral teachings.”

“As long as you nod today and follow me back to the Heaven and Earth Gate, this young master can let all past matters go!”

Hearing this, Xu Chen almost spat on the spot.

Holding the ancient desolate hall, he poked his head forward and rolled his eyes at Xu Tian.

“You? Let past matters go?”

“That thick skin of yours must have been polished with a millstone since you were a kid, right? How can it be this thick?”

As his voice fell, some people on the sidelines suppressed their laughter, their shoulders shaking.

Xu Tian's eyes twitched, but he forcibly endured it.

He was still thinking of ways to first solidify the status of the marriage contract.

Shen Qingyue's expression remained unchanged, not even lifting an eyelid.

“I do dare!”

“If you didn't hear clearly, this Young Miss can say it once more!”

She turned around, her fingers gently brushing her sleeves, and then she turned her head to look at Lin Yi.

When that gaze fell upon him, her originally piercingly cold expression finally softened a fraction.

“Moreover.”

“My heart belongs to another.”

“And I will only go with him.”

This sentence was even more ruthless than the previous one.

The muscles on Xu Tian's face tensed up.

This was no longer just rejecting a marriage.

This was stabbing Xu Tian in front of the whole world, specifically picking the place that hurt him most.

Chu Wanqing laughed out loud, hugging Lin Yi's arm, her eyes sparkling.

“Sister Qingyue's words were truly beautiful!”

Su Yuxi stood on the other side, the corners of her lips curling up irrepressibly.

“Some people always love to use ancestors to pressure others.”

“Now it's great. The person herself said she doesn't recognize it. What else can he harp on?”

Xu Chen was even more excited, pointing a finger at Xu Tian.

“Kid, did you hear that?”

“Now that things have been said to this extent, why are you still standing there?”

“Preparing to visit your own grave?”

Xu Tian's chest puffed out, almost exploding on the spot.

He stared fixedly at Shen Qingyue, completely dropping the act, his voice carrying a ruthless edge.

“Humph! Your heart belongs to another?”

“Shen Qingyue, do you think that by relying on a single Lin Yi, you can truly be lawless?”

“Although the Shen Family is destroyed, the blood flowing in your body will not change!”

“Since you are the Shen Family Saintess, you must fulfill the Shen Family's old covenant.”

“This is a fate you cannot escape!”

He spoke with increasing urgency, and the last sentence was almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.

After Shen Qingyue heard this, there was no wave in her heart, and not even a hint of extra emotion on her face.

She only gave two words.

“Keep dreaming!”

The entire venue instantly let out another collective gasp.

So decisive.

She didn't leave a shred of dignity.

Xu Tian's face was turning green, so he simply tore off his refined facade.

He shook the marriage contract, the light from the ancient characters growing even stronger, and his tone became aggressive.

“Shen Qingyue, you can ignore the ancestral covenant.”

“But you should at least care about yourself?!”

“You know the Dao wound on your body very well.”

“The Primordial Dao Body is strong, but it is Innate-ly flawed. You have slept for ten thousand years, and the damage is even worse.”

“If you continue to delay, at best your cultivation will be hindered, and at worst you will suffer the backlash of your Origin.”

“In this world, only my Taisu Sacred Body can supplement those gaps.”

“Marry me, enter the Heaven and Earth Gate, and I can cure you.”

“I can help you go a step further, and also let you re-establish the name of the Shen Family.”

“This is all benefit and no harm for you!”

As these words fell, the expressions of many people changed slightly.

Many of the older generation present had heard the rumors that the Primordial and Taisu share the same source.

If there really was such a connection, Xu Tian's words were not just forcing a marriage.

He was using Shen Qingyue's injuries as a bargaining chip!
