2: Chapter 2: The Fated Heroine Refuses to Annul the Engagement!

At the Second Peak, clouds and mist swirled as immortal light shimmered.

Inside the main hall, a stunningly beautiful young girl suddenly opened her eyes.

Deep within those cold eyes, a fleeting trace of confusion flashed.

Immediately after, it was replaced by endless coldness and overwhelming hatred.

"I... I've been reborn?"

"Reborn to the day I was publicly jilted by Lin Yi!"

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her fair skin, hiding the churning emotions in her gaze.

The girl was none other than the reborn Su Yuxi.

At this moment, many Elders and Disciples of the Holy Land were gathered in the hall.

And she was at the very center of the storm.

Su Yuxi thought of even more.

"Yes, it all matches up!"

In her previous life, it was here, on this very day!

The boy she once treated with all her heart.

The one for whom she had even shielded from the Immortal-Folding Curse, resulting in damage to her Dao Fetus.

Under everyone's gaze, he had coldly spat out the words of annulment.

That humiliation, that bone-chilling coldness.

Even after a lifetime of Reincarnation, it remained incredibly clear.

But.

It didn't matter anymore.

Su Yuxi's heart was calm, even carrying a hint of small expectation.

Annulling the engagement was fine.

Let this farce become the beginning of cutting off her mortal ties and seeing through the trials of love.

Let it be the start of her Cultivating the Heartless Dao!

Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi.

I won't force you in matters of the heart.

But you shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have.

You shouldn't have humiliated me in front of everyone!

In this life, as long as you dare to annul the engagement,

I, Su Yuxi, will never show you mercy again.

The humiliation you brought me, I will surely repay a hundredfold!

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Lin Yi from the First Peak has already arrived at the mountain gate."

"He must be here to annul the engagement with Senior Sister Su, right?

After all, Senior Sister Su's cultivation has been stagnant for three years."

"Sigh, what a shame! To think they were once a perfect match, the envy of everyone.

But now..."

"Hah! Tell me about it, her devotion was misplaced after all!"

Inside the hall, the low whispers of the crowd flooded into her ears like a tide.

Su Yuxi turned a deaf ear to these discussions of sympathy, regret, or schadenfreude.

She just stood quietly in the hall, like a snow lotus standing proud and alone in the world.

Waiting for that familiar yet strange figure.

Waiting for the sentence she had already predicted.

Just then, two figures appeared at the hall entrance.

Instantly attracting everyone's gaze.

Luo Qinghan walked in front, with Dao rhythms flowing around her and a powerful aura.

Behind her followed a boy in white.

He was spotless, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament.

It was Lin Yi.

As soon as the two appeared, the noisy hall instantly fell silent.

Every gaze fell upon Lin Yi.

Upon the main seat,

The Peak Revered Master of the Second Peak, Su Yuxi's Revered Master Peak Master Jiang Qiyue, looked displeased.

She glanced at the two who had taken their seats and spoke coldly.

"Lin Yi, what brings you to my Second Peak?!"

Her voice carried clear distance and questioning.

Lin Yi was about to answer.

Just then,

A boy dressed in black jumped out from the crowd.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, I'll call you Senior Brother one last time!"

The boy's face was full of righteous indignation, and his voice was loud.

"I truly didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person!"

"Three years ago, Senior Sister Yu Xi didn't hesitate to sacrifice herself to block the Immortal-Folding Curse for you.

This caused her Dao Fetus to be damaged and her cultivation to stagnate, which everyone saw!"

"But what about you? Instead of thinking of repayment, you want to annul the engagement when she needs you most?"

"With such behavior, won't your conscience hurt? Do you deserve the title of the Holy Land's First Sequence!"

Good grief.

This vibe is too strong.

The Child of Destiny is jumping out to show off!

Lin Yi sneered in his heart, his gaze sweeping over the other party.

A virtual panel instantly appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Xiao Fan!]

[Identity: Third Sequence of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, Child of Destiny!]

[Realm: Late Stage of Spirit Transformation!]

[Physique: Burning Dao Holy Body!]

[Golden Finger: An Ancient Ring containing the remnant soul of an Old Grandpa!]

[Recent Fortune: Three days later, Xiao Fan will find an unclaimed supreme bone in the Holy Land's restricted area, God-Falling Gorge.]

[He will give a small piece of it to Su Yuxi to gain the favor of the Destined Female Lead, and his own strength will also increase greatly!]

Good, good, good!

Even a wild supreme bone has appeared.

This dog of an author is just force-feeding the Child of Destiny, isn't he?

Truly deserves to die!

Lin Yi finally understood.

The whole world was waiting for him, this big sucker, to walk the path of seeking death.

The Reborn Empress was waiting for him to annul the engagement so she could blacken and prove her Dao.

The Child of Destiny was waiting for him to annul the engagement so he could show off, slap his face, and pick up the goddess.

So it turns out I'm just a pure tool!

But this time,

I'm afraid I won't let this bunch of Children of Destiny have their way!

"Shut up!"

"What status do you have to dare speak to me like that?"

Lin Yi stood up, his cold voice echoing in the hall.

The Heavenly Profound Holy Land had a strict hierarchy.

As the First Sequence, Lin Yi's status was far above Xiao Fan's, who was the Third Sequence.

After being rebuked, Xiao Fan's originally proud face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

The bellyful of eloquent speeches he had prepared was all blocked back by Lin Yi's scolding.

A breath was held in his chest, neither going up nor down, extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Yi ignored him and turned his gaze to the elegant and transcendent figure in the hall.

Su Yuxi!

She stood there quietly in a green dress, neither humble nor arrogant.

Only that exquisite and flawless face was covered with a layer of eternal frost.

Seeing Lin Yi's gaze, she didn't avoid it, decisively meeting his eyes, her beautiful eyes flickering.

The moment their gazes met, Lin Yi's heart trembled.

So beautiful!

As expected of the Destined Female Lead!

But this little girl,

Seems to be expecting something?

Expecting him to annul the engagement?

Lin Yi's heart stirred.

[Ding! Detected an eligible binding target, Destined Female Lead Su Yuxi!]

[Bind?]

"System, check Su Yuxi's information."

[Name: Su Yuxi!]

[Identity: Second Sequence of Heavenly Profound Holy Land, Reborn Empress, Destined Female Lead!]

[Realm: Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation!]

[Physique: Innate Dao Fetus (Damaged)]

[Recent Fortune: After being jilted by the host, she will completely blacken and Cultivate the Heartless Dao. Her Dao Fetus will be repaired, and her cultivation will greatly advance.]

Sure enough, it all matches up!

Lin Yi understood.

[System, bind Su Yuxi!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully bound to the Destined Female Lead!]

[Please complete the first gift as soon as possible to achieve the villain's counterattack!]

The System prompt faded.

In the hall, Peak Master Jiang Qiyue asked again, her tone somewhat impatient:

"Lin Yi! What exactly do you want to do!"

"This seat has no time to play games with you here!"

Xiao Fan also recovered, staring at Lin Yi with venomous eyes, ready to strike again at any time.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yi.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, just say what you have to say!"

"No matter the result, Yu Xi can accept it!"

Su Yuxi spoke calmly, her cold eyes also watching Lin Yi.

Under everyone's expectant gazes,

Lin Yi finally spoke, his voice clearly spreading through the hall.

"Who said I was going to annul the engagement?"

As the words fell,

The entire place fell silent!
