244: Backstabbed, deserted

Zhang Wenyuan's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “Wanmeng, what nonsense are you spouting?”

“Didn’t you hate Jiang Lin the most?”

“How could he be your target?”

“Your father knows you don't like Family arranged marriages, but there’s no need to tear off all pretense like this!”

“Moreover, a major event like marriage should naturally be decided by one's parents!”

Zhang Wanmeng replied directly, “I'm sorry, Father!”

“Before, I misjudged him, and my Dao Heart is the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart, so I don't understand how to discern people or emotions!”

“Now I've awakened; Jiang Lin is more outstanding than most people!”

“He is more suitable for me!”

“As long as I work hard to change, he will definitely like me again!”

“As for the Sima Family, they have the heart of wolves and tigers!”

“Every person from the Sima Family harbors ulterior motives; I am irreconcilable with them!”

“Tearing off all pretense? They are not worthy!”

After speaking, Zhang Wanmeng turned around directly, about to leave.

Zhang Wenyuan angrily said, “Whether you agree or not, this matter is not up to you!”

“Half a month from now, I will announce this at the Zhang Family's Family banquet!”

“Don't force me to burn all bridges!”

Zhang Wanmeng said without a shred of concern, “I said, I will not agree!”

“No matter what!”

Zhang Wenyuan's face turned red, and he furiously said, “Then you will no longer be a person of my Zhang Family!”

“And don't ever step into the Zhang Family's main gate again!”

Zhang Wanmeng's body trembled, and she turned to look at Zhang Wenyuan, her eyes filled with shock.

She couldn't believe these were the words of a father.

“Are you sure?”

“When I was little, I liked practicing sword, but you made me learn the Qin in order to curry favor with the Qin Sect!”

“Later, to accumulate Luck for the Zhang Family, I had just reached Foundation Establishment, yet I went to the Endless Sound Valley, which only Golden Core cultivators could survive self-detonation in, just to retrieve the Luck Stone, just to add ten years of Luck to the Zhang Family!”

“Even later, for you to achieve Body Integration, I applied for a Dao Heaven Sect Dao Child mission, a life-and-death ordeal, and exchanged the Dao Child reward for a Bloodline Law Pill!”

“At that time, I had just reached Golden Core!”

“A Dao Child mission, at the very least, requires a Nascent Soul cultivator to complete!”

“Moreover, I was cultivated entirely by my Revered Master; you didn't spend a single Spirit Stone!”

“Now you say I am no longer a person of the Zhang Family?”

“Now, I tell you, I will not marry into the Sima Family!”

“I will revitalize the Qin Sect, even if no one supports me!”

“Even if you want to kick me out of the Zhang Family!”

“My only goal is Jiang Lin!”

After speaking,

She directly stepped over the Zhang Family's threshold and left the Zhang Family!

Throughout the entire process, she didn't even spare Sima Huai a glance.

Sima Huai's face gradually darkened, and a deep ferocity appeared in his eyes.

It was Jiang Lin again!

Previously,

Han Qian, whom he had always longed for, was taken by Jiang Lin.

So, he set his sights on Zhang Wanmeng, whom Jiang Lin had once pursued.

You took away the person I loved, so I will take away the person you love!

But he didn't expect that this woman had already turned to Jiang Lin!

And she showed such contempt for the Sima Family.

How could he remain calm now!

“Good, good, good. Since that's the case, I originally wanted to give you some status!”

“Now it seems, using you to humiliate Jiang Lin couldn't be better!”

He thought to himself, his eyes growing even more sinister!

But on the surface, he stood up, cupped his fists, and said, “Uncle, it seems Miss Zhang is quite resistant. I won't disturb you any further!”

Zhang Wenyuan, with a troubled expression, hastily cupped his hands and said, “Nephew Sima, don't misunderstand. It's actually all Jiang Lin stirring up trouble. You also know about the matter of Hua River; it has always been a knot in her heart...”

“However, please rest assured, Nephew, I will definitely convince Wanmeng!”

Sima Huai pondered for a moment and said, “Since that's the case, then there's no need for Minister Zhang to trouble himself!”

“I'll go explain now and see what Miss Zhang's true feelings are?”

“After all, pursuing Miss Zhang is something I must do myself!”

A flicker of joy appeared in Zhang Wenyuan's eyes, and he quickly nodded, saying, “It's excellent that Nephew has such an idea!”

Sima Huai hesitated, saying, “It's just that my methods for pursuing girls are a bit aggressive. Will Uncle have any objections?”

“Uncle, regardless of success or failure, what my Sima Family promised is all here, and I've also prepared a Law Comprehension Pill for Uncle, which can further enhance a portion of your Body Integration Law comprehension...”

Zhang Wenyuan was shaken.

He just gave the things away?

He greedily looked at the pocket dimension bag, took a deep breath, and said, “Nephew, rest assured, I naturally won't have any objections!”

“Go ahead and pursue Wanmeng; my Zhang Family agrees!”

...

As soon as Sima Huai walked out of the Zhang Family's main gate and sat into his carriage, he said to the guard beside him, “Act!”

“Preferably alive...”

After speaking, the guard disappeared.

Sima Huai looked mockingly in the direction of the Jiang Family.

“Hmph, I gave you a chance!”

“Since you refuse a toast, don't blame me for being ruthless!”

...

In the twilight of the capital, the alleys had already begun to grow dim.

On the road from the Zhang Family to the Jiang Family,

Zhang Wanmeng, accompanied by Xiao Yun, walked dejectedly towards the Qin Pavilion.

“Young Miss, you know it will still be a closed door this time, so why do you still go?”

Zhang Wanmeng said, “I know, but I want him to see my determination!”

“As long as he is willing to let bygones be bygones and join forces with the Qin Sect, everything will get better!”

Xiao Yun sighed and advised, “Young Miss, you've seen it; Jiang Lin is just a coward. He doesn't dare to directly confront the Sima Family!”

Zhang Wanmeng shook her head, “If he doesn't dare, then few people in the world would dare!”

“The Jiang Family's main purpose now is to restrain the Sima Family!”

“Logically speaking, he shouldn't refuse the Qin Sect's support, but I don't know why he is so resistant now?”

Xiao Yun said, “Although that's true, I'm still worried that the Qin Sect won't be able to hold on...”

Zhang Wanmeng walked ahead, saying firmly, “Xiao Yun, don't worry!”

“It won't be long until I Breakthrough to Void Refining, then I can enter the Qin Tomb, and I'll soon be able to advance to Body Integration!”

“At that time, the Qin Sect will gradually get better!”

“And Revered Master isn't dead yet, so there's still hope for everything!”

“You must believe me...”

Before her words finished, she suddenly turned around, looking angrily at Xiao Yun, who had grown up with her since childhood.

“You... you betrayed me!”

Zhang Wanmeng's lips were stained with blood, a black dagger plunged into her back, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Xiao Yun's face showed a hint of shame as she said, “Young Miss, I'm sorry, the Sima Family offered too much!”

“Moreover, you are not a match for the Sima Family; there's no need to struggle anymore!”

“Young Miss, don't use your Bloodline Power. This dagger is a Spirit Binding Blade; your Soul and Dantian are completely bound!”

“If you forcefully try to Breakthrough, you will only cripple your Meridians and Dantian, becoming a cripple!”

Just then, two people walked out from the depths of the alley.

It was Zhao Manman and Sima Huai's guard.

Zhao Manman smiled, “I didn't expect that we only helped that girl conceal her movements, and you fell for it. I really overestimated you!”

“This feeling of being betrayed by everyone, it doesn't feel good, does it!”
