541: Marriage, or annulment?
Su Chen patiently answered all of Li Moheng's questions, as Su Chen was quite knowledgeable about matters between men and women.
Li Moheng listened very carefully, even taking out a small notebook to jot down many points.
"Fellow Daoist, you have helped me greatly. This meal is on me."
"Hey, Fellow Daoist, are you free? If you have time, why not come out and have some fun with me?"
After speaking, he looked at Su Chen with eyes full of hope. Primarily, Li Moheng was truly unsure about these matters, and having Su Chen as his advisor would give him confidence in whatever he did.
Everyone experiences the age of first love.
Li Moheng had previously been devoted to Cultivation and had never considered romance. After his parents mentioned it this time, he felt restless and found it difficult to calm down.
Su Chen had nothing else to do anyway, so he nodded, "No problem."
He also felt that this Li Moheng was quite an interesting person.
Being a Personal Disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion was an extremely high status, yet he showed no arrogance, which was completely different from many Disciples of major powers Su Chen had encountered.
After finishing their meal, the two quickly headed toward Li Moheng's home.
Stopping at the entrance of a grand and imposing manor, Li Moheng said, "Brother Su, this is my home. Yesterday, I received a message saying that my fiancée would be arriving today. We'll probably meet her soon."
Su Chen signaled for him to remain calm. The more intense the situation, the more composed he needed to appear. If he seemed too nervous, it would give others the impression that he was easy to manipulate.
This was like negotiations between two armies; if one side appeared to lack confidence, they would certainly be easier to control.
Seeing Li Moheng, the two guards at the entrance immediately stepped forward, "Young Master, you've returned."
Li Moheng smiled and nodded, appearing completely unpretentious and very approachable.
As they walked into the courtyard, they heard an extremely overbearing voice ringing out ahead.
"You all should just give up on this idea. I absolutely will not agree to this marriage."
"This engagement must be broken, absolutely!"
The voice was unquestionable and full of rejection. Occasionally, they could hear voices trying to persuade her, seemingly attempting to discuss the matter amicably.
Li Moheng immediately recognized the persuasive voices as belonging to his parents. As for the overbearing female voice, he knew instantly that it was his fiancée.
Just based on these voices, he could tell what was happening inside.
Damn it!
Li Moheng's initial nervousness immediately vanished, replaced by anger. He was a Personal Disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, yet she dared to look down on him when he hadn't even looked down on her?
And she came to my Li Family to ostentatiously break off the engagement?
Su Chen was also dumbfounded.
What kind of plot twist was this?
Thirty years East of the River, thirty years West of the River, do not bully a young man into poverty?
But this wasn't that kind of scenario, was it?
Since Li Moheng could become a Personal Disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, his talent must be exceptional. He was definitely a top-tier Genius, so how could anyone possibly reject him?
Li Moheng angrily rushed into the main hall. Inside stood four people: a middle-aged couple, a tall, mature-looking beauty, and in front of her, a young, somewhat naive but exquisitely beautiful woman.
The overbearing voice they had heard earlier belonged to that young woman.
"I absolutely cannot agree to this marriage! You must give up on this idea. I must break the engagement, break it!"
Huang Youyou's face was filled with anger. She was extremely resistant and unwilling to accept this marriage.
Hearing these words, Li Moheng, who had just entered, felt his anger flare up, "You want to break the engagement just because you say so? Did I agree?"
Mother Li saw Li Moheng return and hurriedly introduced them:
"Heng'er is back. This is Huang Youyou, and that is her mother, Ning Yan. Don't worry, Youyou only just found out about this, so it's normal for her to be unprepared. Give her some time to adjust."
Seeing that Li Moheng also seemed angry, she quickly tried to mediate.
Huang Youyou was furious, "Adjust to what? I will never agree! The engagement must be broken."
"And you're that Li Moheng, right? You look pretty ordinary. Let me tell you, don't even think about this marriage. I will absolutely not acknowledge it."
Li Moheng clenched his fists, his expression cold, "Hmph, dream on."
If the other party had come to discuss it nicely and expressed their wish to break the engagement, he certainly wouldn't have made a fuss; after all, the two of them had no existing feelings for each other.
But coming here to cause a scene so ostentatiously made Li Moheng extremely displeased. Did she really think he had no temper?
Seeing Li Moheng's appearance, Huang Youyou seemed extremely angry, "You... you must break the engagement!"
"I heard you are a Disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion. Let's fight a match. If I defeat you, then you must break the engagement."
Seeing her attitude made Li Moheng even angrier. When it came to fighting, he had never been afraid. This Huang Youyou was only an Early Stage True Immortal, while he was a Middle Stage True Immortal. Could he possibly not defeat her?
"Fine!"
Hearing this, Huang Youyou immediately drew her sword and attacked Li Moheng. Her Sword Qi was like a gentle breeze, making people feel no threat, yet it concealed murderous intent.
Li Moheng snorted coldly, the sound of thunder roaring within his body. He rushed toward Huang Youyou at an extreme speed.
Energy instantly poured out. Seeing this, Ning Yan felt helpless. She raised her hand and waved, casting Heaven in a Square Inch, enveloping the two of them.
This Heaven in a Square Inch could transform a small area into a vast space, enough for the two of them to fight.
After all, the main hall was small. If they truly fought so recklessly, forget the hall, even the Li Family courtyard would be ruined.
Ning Yan sighed. She knew this matter was difficult for Huang Youyou to accept, but it was something Huang Youyou had to face.
Inside the Heaven in a Square Inch.
The two constantly exchanged blows. Huang Youyou was a Sword Cultivator, possessing formidable strength and terrifying offensive power.
However, Li Moheng cultivated the Wind Thunder Pavilion's Cultivation Technique. His speed and destructive power were terrifying, making him a leader among his peers, capable of killing enemies across cultivation stages.
Even against ordinary half-step Profound Immortal Cultivators, they would definitely not be his match.
If Huang Youyou's strength wasn't quite good, she would have likely been defeated long ago.
"Thunder Summoning Palm!"
Li Moheng suddenly raised his hand and slammed out a palm strike. Thunder roared, and Huang Youyou couldn't dodge in time, flying backward. Defeat was inevitable.
Her face was filled with shame and indignation, seemingly unable to accept the outcome of her defeat.
"You... you..."
Huang Youyou was extremely unwilling. She pointed at Li Moheng, wanting to say something, but had no way to refute him. In the end, she could only turn her head away and reluctantly said:
"Even though you won, I'm telling you, Li Moheng, there is absolutely no way I will call you 'Dad'."
"Just give up on that idea!"
