66: This person came to our door to break off the engagement; they were too noisy.
The person who arrived was the Fourth Young Master of the Xu Family, Xu Zhengqi.
Xu Zhengqi looked at Ning Yan with a gloomy expression, then turned his gaze toward Su Chen. A moment later, he said with a smile:
"Yan'er, aren't you going to introduce this person?"
Ning Yan took a deep breath and said calmly, "This is my friend."
"A friend?"
Xu Zhengqi looked at Su Chen coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Kid, don't you know that Ning Yan is my future concubine?"
Hearing this, Ning Yan trembled all over, her eyes filled with anger.
She had never agreed to marry Xu Zhengqi; all of this had been forcibly arranged for her by the Family.
Moreover, this Xu Zhengqi was nothing but a playboy, spending his days indulging in debauchery. There was no telling how many women he had toyed with; how could Ning Yan possibly want to marry him?
"Xu Zhengqi, when did I ever agree to marry you!"
Xu Zhengqi looked at Ning Yan, a flash of burning desire in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"My Xu Family has already formed a marriage alliance with the Ning Family. Now, you, Ning Yan, are my, Xu Zhengqi's, concubine. This is something everyone in Pingyang City knows."
"And another thing..."
Xu Zhengqi's expression turned slightly cold: "You bitch, you already have a marriage contract with me, so why are you still messing around with other men? Do you have no sense of shame at all?"
Since they were on the main street, many people immediately noticed them.
"Isn't that the Xu Family's Fourth Young Master, Xu Zhengqi? Who are those two?"
"I've been watching for a while. The one opposite him is Ning Yan from the Ning Family. She had a marriage contract with Xu Zhengqi. It seems like Xu Zhengqi caught her because she was with another man."
"That's intense!"
"This guy is really bold, daring to touch Xu Zhengqi's woman. Is he not afraid of death?"
"But looking at him, he really is much better than Xu Zhengqi. His appearance and temperament are both above Xu Zhengqi's."
Whispered discussions arose, but they were mostly unpleasant, with many cursing Ning Yan for being shameless.
And when many people looked at Su Chen, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
Xu Zhengqi was ruthless and vindictive; daring to touch his woman, one could basically guess the outcome.
Ning Yan's eyes were full of anger: "Xu Zhengqi, when did I say I would marry you? I would never marry someone like you, even in death."
Under normal circumstances, Ning Yan certainly wouldn't dare to speak to Xu Zhengqi like this, but thinking of Su Chen by her side, she felt full of security.
With Su Chen by her side, Ning Yan's courage grew much larger.
"You bitch!"
Xu Zhengqi was furious. He roared: "I gave you Face, but you didn't want it. You are just from the Collateral Branch of the Ning Family. If I, this young master, wanted to play with you, I could just grab you directly. Do I need to marry you as a concubine?"
"Since you don't know what's good for you, fine. Men, grab Ning Yan and bring her back to the Xu Family. Today, this young master will let her experience what a real man is."
As he spoke, a lewd expression appeared on Xu Zhengqi's Face.
Under normal circumstances, after he took a fancy to Ning Yan, he could have just forcibly taken her without any issues, and the Ning Family definitely wouldn't have dared to say anything.
However, at that time, the Xu Family head told him not to cause trouble, and coupled with the fact that Ning Yan's beauty truly moved him, he had agreed to Ning Wei's proposal to have Ning Yan come over as a concubine.
Otherwise, why would he let Ning Yan enter the Xu Family? After all, she was just a lowly Collateral Branch member.
"Understood."
The few servants beside Xu Zhengqi saw this and immediately surrounded Ning Yan, all wearing malicious grins on their Faces.
The onlookers watching the show couldn't help but shake their heads.
"She had a perfectly good concubine status and didn't want it, but chose to be ungrateful instead. Now she's going to suffer."
"Exactly. What does it matter if she's unwilling? The Xu Family is so powerful; will she really lose out by marrying in?"
"Now, not only will she not be able to enter the Xu Family, but she'll also lose her reputation."
"Losing reputation is a small matter. You guys aren't unaware of Xu Zhengqi's methods. Among the women he has dragged into the Xu Family, how many have come out unscathed? I heard this Fourth Young Master Xu plays very perversely."
"What a pity. Ning Yan was my former goddess, and now she's about to be defiled by Xu Zhengqi."
Ning Yan was considered quite attractive in Pingyang City; otherwise, the picky Xu Zhengqi wouldn't have taken a fancy to her. Naturally, she had many admirers.
Now, many men around, seeing that Ning Yan was about to suffer a terrible fate, couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
However, not a single person stepped forward to help. The Xu Family's influence was too great; they were essentially tyrants in Pingyang City. Who could afford to provoke them?
Su Chen watched from the side, speechless. He just wanted to have a nice stroll around the city; why did people always come looking for death?
He just waved his hand lightly, and sword light shot out. The few people heading towards Ning Yan were instantly killed, blood flowing out continuously.
This sudden turn of events immediately stunned everyone around.
After a good while, they finally reacted.
"He actually dared to kill people from the Xu Family! Is he not afraid of death?"
"My God, he's absolutely finished. Daring to lay a hand on the Xu Family's people, the nature of this is completely different."
Amidst the fearful gazes of the crowd, Su Chen looked at Ning Yan, a warm smile on his Face:
"Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing? It's just a mere Xu Family; wouldn't it have been fine if I just solved it for you?"
"Do you remember when you were little and encountered problems you couldn't solve, you would always come to me for help? What's wrong, have we grown distant now that you're older?"
Looking at Su Chen's expression, for some reason, the somewhat flustered Ning Yan felt her heart suddenly settle. Her Face flushed slightly, and she didn't know how to answer Su Chen.
Su Chen chuckled, then turned his head to look at Xu Zhengqi.
At this moment, Xu Zhengqi's Face carried some panic and terror.
Among his few servants, there was actually one at Core Formation Perfection. To be able to kill them instantly, the attacker must be at least at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Xu Zhengqi was used to being overbearing. He said with a fierce look: "You dare to kill my Xu Family's servants? My Xu Family will definitely not let you off."
Su Chen was expressionless. He didn't even move, but Xu Zhengqi was blasted away by the power he released, dying on the spot.
This guy was too noisy and affected his mood, so naturally, he couldn't be left alive.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd looked terrified.
He even dared to kill Xu Zhengqi!
Did he not know this was the Fourth Young Master of the Xu Family?
Many people had already secretly retreated, fearing they would be implicated by Su Chen. Having killed Xu Zhengqi, the Xu Family would definitely not let Su Chen go.
In their eyes, Su Chen only had a dead end.
Su Chen smiled: "I'm free anyway, I'll accompany you to the Xu Family to call off the engagement."
"How bold!"
Suddenly, a roar rang out, and a terrifying pressure came from afar.
Soul Transformation Stage!
The passersby who were originally watching the show all retreated far away, each of their Faces filled with fear.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of Su Chen. He was tall, his Face full of gloom, and his heaving chest made him look like a volcano about to erupt.
The newcomer looked at Su Chen with intense killing intent.
"You killed my Xu Family's people and still dare to come to our door to call off the engagement? Your boldness is truly boundless."
