118: The marriage was broken off again
"Chu Family Head, may I ask why you've come to my Qin Family?"
Seeing Chu Chong restless, Qin Shou's gaze turned cold, a mocking arc forming at the corner of his lips.
Before his talent was crippled, Chu Chong eagerly came to arrange a marriage, sending various cultivation resources.
After his talent was crippled, he was extremely cold to him, and later even directly came to annul the engagement, changing the marriage partner, making him a laughingstock in the Central God Domain.
Even more ridiculous was that after he displayed his talent again, Chu Chong came begging for an engagement, utterly shameless.
Qin Shou detested the hypocritical and selfish Chu Chong, believing that his visit this time was definitely to curry favor with him.
"Nothing!"
Seeing Qin Shou's arrogance and how he completely disregarded him, Chu Chong's face became grim, and anger surged in his heart.
He understood Qin Shou's meaning; he thought he was climbing too high.
Ridiculous.
His Chu Family's noble daughter, what kind of prodigy couldn't she marry?
The initial marriage alliance was first proposed by Qin Heng.
Changing the marriage partner was also the Qin Family's intention.
The purpose was to not give up the wealth of his Chu Family.
Even the final decision to marry Chu Ling'er was the Chu Family's intention, to compensate for Qin Heng's death.
Moreover, at that time, Qin Shou was a good-for-nothing whose cultivation hadn't advanced an inch. He couldn't possibly let his daughter marry a good-for-nothing, could he?
Qin Heng had already actively requested a change in the marriage partner, did Qin Shou not have any self-awareness?
Now, all the benefits and reputation went to the Qin Family, making him look bad both inside and out.
What was even more hateful was that he had given countless cultivation resources to Qin Shou.
Not only was Qin Shou not grateful, but he resented him instead. He truly raised an ungrateful wretch.
The more Chu Chong thought about it, the angrier he became, further strengthening his resolve to sever ties with the Qin Family.
So what if they had a Divine Fire Realm expert?
His Chu Family was not to be trifled with.
Chu Chong was about to speak to annul the engagement, but Qin Shou preempted him, speaking indifferently: "Chu Family Head, please return. My Qin Family does not welcome you. Also, I will personally come to annul the engagement between me and your daughter."
He would definitely annul this engagement, and he would announce it to the world, to avenge the humiliation of Chu Yao's annulment.
Moreover, he didn't even know Chu Ling'er. They had no feelings for each other, and he couldn't possibly marry a stranger.
What if she was an ugly monster?
"...You want to annul the engagement? Good, good, good!"
Chu Chong was startled, then laughed in extreme anger.
He hadn't expected that the Chu Family would also have a day when they were despised. Qin Shou was truly arrogant beyond measure.
He thought that with a bit of talent, he could do whatever he wanted.
However, this was exactly what he wanted, and he didn't even need to pay compensation.
"No!"
Qin Heng's expression changed, and he scolded, "What nonsense are you, an unfilial son, talking about? Why don't you quickly apologize to your father-in-law?"
"Yes, Young Master, don't be impulsive."
Fighting Gu Qing was inherently a huge risk, after all, Gu Qing was the disciple of that devilish woman Zhi Meng.
However, thinking that Chu Yao was Jiang Yu's disciple, if they formed a marriage alliance with the Chu Family, they might not need to fear Zhi Meng.
Moreover, the Chu Family had given the Qin Family many benefits, and they were reluctant to give up the Chu Family, their cash cow.
"You all don't need to say more. My decision is made. This engagement, I will definitely annul."
"If you are not convinced, you can go find the Old Ancestor." Qin Shou glanced at everyone, as if seeing through their thoughts, a mocking arc forming at the corner of his lips as he spoke indifferently.
The small benefits given by the Chu Family were not even worth mentioning to him. He would lead the Qin Family to rise sooner or later and had no need for a marriage alliance with the Chu Family.
"Good."
"Since that's the case, there's no time like the present. Let's dissolve the engagement now."
Chu Chong didn't waste words and directly took out the marriage contract, which made Qin Shou frown.
It wasn't that he was reluctant, but if it was annulled like this, how could he slap the Chu Family's face and make Chu Yao regret it?
Moreover, Qin Shou touched his chest and felt a pang of trepidation. He had a strong intuition that he couldn't annul the engagement now, or he would lose a great opportunity.
But the words were already out. If he went back on them now, where would his face be?
Qin Shou took a deep breath and looked at Qin Heng, hoping he would refuse.
However, Qin Heng was destined to disappoint Qin Shou.
Qin Shou had already brought up the Old Ancestor, so no matter how unwilling, he could only comply.
Chu Chong destroyed the two marriage contracts on the spot, feeling a sense of relief. The resources he had given Qin Shou were just like feeding them to a dog.
He looked at Qin Shou, sneered, and said, "I know your talent is monstrous, but there are always greater heavens beyond, and greater people beyond people. Those who are too arrogant will surely be punished by heaven. Take care of yourself."
Although Qin Shou possessed the Celestial Tyrant Body and had unparalleled combat power, and even used some unknown method to advance several major realms,
this method might work against others, but against Gu Qing, Qin Shou was dead for sure.
The Star God Temple would absolutely not sit by and watch Qin Shou crush Gu Qing with a realm advantage.
As for defeating Gu Qing at the same realm, Qin Shou wouldn't be able to do it in his next life.
Chu Chong was eager to see how Qin Shou would die.
Would he be blasted to pieces with one punch like Qin Xian, or would he be flayed alive?
Chu Chong began to look forward to it and was no longer in a hurry to leave.
Because he received a message from Gu Qing, who was on his way.
"That's none of your concern."
Qin Shou's face was grim, and the feeling of losing an opportunity grew stronger in his heart.
Moreover, Chu Chong showed no signs of regret, which made him extremely angry.
Why did a selfish person like Chu Chong show no regret at all?
Did he still look down on him?
"Hahahaha!"
Chu Chong laughed heartily, looking at him with pity, and sneered, "Gu Qing is coming. When you see him, you will understand what it means to be an unparalleled prodigy for all ages."
Hearing this, Qin Shou's eyes turned cold. Chu Chong still looked down on him after all.
However, Qin Shou suddenly had an absurd guess and asked with a grim expression, "You wouldn't have betrothed Chu Ling'er to Gu Qing, and came here today to annul the engagement, would you?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Qin Shou instantly felt he had hit the truth.
Thinking about being rejected twice in a row, Qin Shou's mindset exploded.
He looked at Chu Chong with eyes that wished he could draw his sword on the spot.
Damn it, he was already so monstrous, practically unparalleled through the ages, undefeated among the younger generation of the Central God Domain.
He had even slain quite a few of the older generation.
Yet, he still couldn't escape the fate of being rejected, and by the same family at that.
"So what?"
Chu Chong sneered. It seemed he had been too easy to talk to, making the Qin Family think he was a pushover, even a junior dared to ride roughshod over him.
"To be frank, I have already betrothed Ling'er to Gu Qing. You are not worthy."
He stopped pretending. Anyway, he was going to draw a clear line with the Qin Family, even become enemies.
Since Qin Shou wanted to tear off the pretense, why should he bother to save face for Qin Shou or the Qin Family?
"You..." Qin Shou's face turned green, trembling with anger.
He had originally thought Chu Chong came to beg for Chu Ling'er's hand in marriage, but he unexpectedly gave him a cuckold's hat.
The Qin Family members exchanged glances, their faces ashen, their gazes chilling as they looked at Chu Chong.
If this matter were to spread, the Qin Family would definitely become a laughingstock.
"Chu Family Head, are you declaring war on my Qin Family?" Qin Heng's face was grim as he spoke coldly.
"Whatever you say."
Chu Chong said indifferently.
His Chu Family had stood for countless years and had not been without threats from Divine Fire Realm experts.
Didn't they still overcome them in the end?
"Good, good, good. Your Chu Family is very good. This great humiliation today, I will remember it."
Qin Shou's eyes seemed to be poisoned as he stared intently at Chu Chong.
He swore that when his cultivation was sufficient, he would definitely destroy the Chu Family.
As for now... Qin Shou suddenly stood up, looked at him, and said word by word, "I will defeat Gu Qing and let you see who is the unparalleled prodigy of all ages."
Since Chu Chong thought so highly of Gu Qing, he would suppress him right in front of Chu Chong.
When this old man saw his talent, he hoped he wouldn't regret it and shamelessly come to propose marriage again.
"Ha, then I shall wait and see."
Chu Chong sneered, flicked his sleeves, and left the Qin Family.
The Qin Family members sighed secretly at the sight.
The matter was already decided; they were powerless to stop it even if they wanted to.
Offending the Chu Family would make their Qin Family's days difficult from now on.
As for going to war with the Chu Family, anyone with a bit of sense knew that going to war was impossible.
