53: This relationship is so messy!

“Bah! What’s there to think about? You’re a cripple, do you even deserve my sister?!”

“Why don’t you go pee in a puddle and look at yourself, what kind of toad are you?!”

Hearing Zhao Tianming’s condescending tone, Zhou Jingyi was the first to lose her temper, immediately jumping up and pointing at his nose to curse him.

A hint of anger flashed in Zhao Tianming’s eyes when he heard this, but it quickly returned to calm.

“Endure!”

“Revered Master said not to be impulsive when something happens, so I must endure! Maybe… I can still avoid the annulment!”

Yes, Zhao Tianming didn’t want to say any “thirty years east, thirty years west” lines, because he fundamentally didn’t want to annul the engagement!

She was Zhou Jingqi! The most Genius young woman in Zhou Country, with an impeccable appearance, and perhaps, she would be an Empress in the future!

Being the man behind an Empress, it was a definite win no matter how he thought about it.

“Zhou Jingyi, you’re still as fiery as ever!” Zhao Tianming said lightly, “Even if you all came today, I’m not afraid to tell you, I will not annul this engagement!”

“Why won’t you annul it?!” Zhou Jingyi was furious, “I’m telling you, a good-for-nothing like you doesn’t deserve my sister!”

“Haha, why me? Because I am Zhao Tianming!” Zhao Tianming released his arrogant aura.

“Enough!”

Zhou Jingqi stopped the two of them, then looked at Zhao Tianming, “I’m asking you one last time, will you annul the engagement or not?”

Zhao Tianming stared at Zhou Jingqi, not speaking.

After a long while, he finally forced out a sentence: “Three years, give me three years, and I will challenge you. If I lose, I will agree to annul the engagement, but if I win…”

“Silence!” Chen Xuan directly interrupted Zhao Tianming.

Damn it, playing the ‘three-year agreement’ with me, huh? You develop well for three years, grow your wings, then come back to defeat Zhou Jingyi and capture the beauty’s heart along the way?

Sorry, this woman has been internally designated by me!

“Chen Xuan?” Zhao Tianming was confused.

“Chen Xuan?” Consort Gao Yueting was confused.

“Chen Xuan!” A certain guard of the princess’s eyes gleamed.

“Chen Xuan!!!” Zhou Jingyi ignited. She had been looking for this little thief for so many days, and she never expected to meet him here!

“Brother Tianming, you’ve truly disappointed your elder brother. How can you be so spineless! And what’s this about a three-year agreement?! Annul the engagement! It must be annulled!”

He didn’t mention a divorce letter.

Hearing Chen Xuan’s stern rebuke, Zhao Tianming froze, the Zhao family members froze, Consort Gao Yueting, Zhou Jingqi, and Zhou Jingyi also froze.

“Chen Xuan, what do you mean by this?”

“Brother Tianming, it’s not that I, your elder brother, am lecturing you, but in my opinion, your three-year agreement is simply a delay tactic!

Do you think you can still turn the tables? You can’t, understand?! After three years, you won’t even be able to defeat a princess’s guard, you’ll have no face left! Doing this will only bring greater shame to the Zhao family!” Chen Xuan criticized him mercilessly.

The Zhao family members also whispered among themselves, largely agreeing with Chen Xuan’s words. How could Zhao Tianming, a cripple, dare to compare himself to a princess who was already at the Golden Core Stage?

Three years? What a joke, by then you’ll have run away, and it’ll still be our Zhao family who’s disgraced!

Even Zhao Weiwu and Zhao Yi thought Chen Xuan was right.

“Furthermore, I’m doing this for your own good. We cultivators should be brave and diligent, advancing without hesitation. What need is there for a three-year agreement? This is the behavior of a coward!”

Zhao Tianming’s face turned from green to pale under Chen Xuan’s scolding, but he didn’t know how to refute him.

“I, I can!” He flushed.

“Can what? Don’t tell me you, a cripple, can defeat my sister. Even her current guard could crush you with one hand!” Zhou Jingyi mocked.

“This… Princess Jingyi, I ask you to watch your words. Although my Brother has suddenly lost his cultivation, I believe that one day in the future, he will stand at the Peak again!”

“You!” Zhou Jingyi glared angrily at Chen Xuan. Then her eyes darted around, as if an idea had formed.

“Your name is Chen Xuan, right? Our Imperial family isn’t unreasonable. He wants a three-year agreement, and it’s not impossible! Let him defeat the guard my sister just recruited, and we can give him three years!”

“Good, it’s a deal. Let her guard come out then!” Zhao Tianming was overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected that even with things like this, there could still be a turning point! As long as he defeated that guard now, not only would he get his three-year agreement, but he could also save the Zhao family’s face—killing two birds with one stone!

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was so angry he clutched his head.

Damn it, Zhou Jingyi is truly a terrible teammate—bah, not even a teammate! Everyone was already in his rhythm, and then you come out with that, bringing us back to square one!

A thousand times, a thousand times, I’ll tie you up and beat you a thousand times!

Zhao Tianming has a cheat, how could he not defeat a mere extra?!

Looking at Chen Xuan’s murderous gaze, Zhou Jingyi involuntarily shivered, but then she remembered there were so many people present, and Chen Xuan surely wouldn’t dare to bully her!

Zhou Jingqi had been frowning the entire time; she just wanted a simple annulment, and never expected it to escalate like this. But as a member of the Imperial family, her word was gold, and what was said had to be done, otherwise it would negatively affect the Imperial family’s reputation.

“You, come out!” Zhou Jingyi directly pointed at a guard hiding at the very back.

Chen Xuan followed the direction of Zhou Jingyi’s finger and was also stunned.

This person was none other than Qin Feng!

It wasn’t supposed to be his time to appear, and Chen Xuan had already changed most of the plot, but he still arrived.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide, Qin Feng walked out openly.

“Senior Brother, long time no see!” Qin Feng gritted his teeth.

“Senior Brother?” Everyone present was confused.

“Why are you here? My good son!” Chen Xuan’s eyes were also cold; he no longer needed to pretend.

After the brief exchange with Han Wanqing earlier, he realized she cared more about him, so he wasn’t worried about Qin Feng having any backing. If he got the chance, he would directly kill him.

“Good son?!!” Everyone was even more confused this time, some couldn’t process it, their CPUs were about to burn out.

“I think you’re looking for death!”

Qin Feng instantly exploded in rage, pushing off with both feet and rushing towards Chen Xuan at high speed.

Zhou Jingyi and Gao Yueting both turned pale, especially Zhou Jingyi, who had no idea this would happen!

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, about to use his experience card, but then he felt that he could react to Qin Feng’s attack.

He was about to dodge, but found a figure appearing faster in front of him, catching Qin Feng’s move. It was Zhao Weiwu.

“Young man, although you are from the Xuan Yang Sect, this is my Zhao family, and you cannot act as you please!”

Are you kidding? Chen Xuan was the most important “strategic material” of his Zhao family, and he had to be watched closely to ensure no accidents happened to him!
