46: Interesting, and it also happened to coincide with the broken engagement plot?

"This nephew Nalan Shijie has come uninvited, please City Lord Murong and Master Murong do not take offense."

As this voice came through.

A young man in blue robes, accompanied by an old man, arrived in the main hall as if entering an uninhabited land, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Of course, what Xiao Chen felt was more displeasure.

He was about to handle important matters for someone, yet these two suddenly barged in, and the City Lord's Mansion guards didn't even stop them.

It was truly a letdown.

However, since outsiders had appeared, he could only stop for now and see what the situation was.

As the thought settled.

Xiao Chen, who had stood up, sat down again, then picked up his teacup and continued to sip his tea.

"Nalan Shijie?"

And when Murong Fu saw the young man before him, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

This name seemed a bit familiar, as if he had vaguely heard it somewhere before.

Immediately after, as if he had thought of something, he smiled with some surprise.

"So it's Nephew Nalan Shijie, I can't believe you've grown so big, it's been ten years since we last met."

After some thought, Murong Fu finally remembered.

This person was precisely the son of his close friend Nalan Xiong, Nalan Shijie, and also Murong Qingxue's fiancé.

But this person.

Had only visited the Murong Family ten years ago and gotten engaged to Murong Qingxue.

After that, his Heaven Rank mid-grade martial arts talent was detected, and he was directly taken as a disciple by the Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect.

He had spent all these years within the Taiyi Sword Sect, and even he hadn't seen him again.

He didn't expect that after ten years, this kid would just run to the Murong Family without a word?

Could it be for some important matter?

As his thoughts turned.

Murong Fu's smile gradually disappeared, as if he had thought of something.

"This nephew has been cultivating in seclusion within the Taiyi Sword Sect all these years, only recently, after breaking through to the Spirit Aperture Realm, did I have time to come down the mountain for a trip."

After hearing Murong Fu's words, Nalan Shijie said indifferently, a hint of arrogance appearing on his face.

Breaking through to the first level of the Spirit Aperture Realm at eighteen, looking at the entire younger generation of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Aside from the monstrous talents of those top forces, who else could compete with him, this Young Sect Master?

"Hiss... broke through to the Spirit Aperture Realm?!"

Murong Fu and Murong Bo both showed shocked expressions upon hearing this.

Thinking back then, even Murong Bo, who possessed Heaven Rank low-grade talent, only broke through to the Spirit Aperture Realm after nineteen years old.

He didn't expect Nalan Shijie to enter this realm early at eighteen years old.

If he cultivates diligently, he will definitely be able to break through to the Tongxuan Realm in the future, and might even reach the Heavenly Human Realm!

The Nalan Family has indeed produced a monstrous talent.

"City Lord Murong, may I ask where Murong Qingxue... that is, my fiancée, is now?"

Just as Murong Fu and Murong Bo were shocked, Nalan Shijie's gaze swept across the main hall.

Finally, it landed on Cai Yan, and he couldn't help but show a hint of amazement on his face, followed by a look of suspicion.

"Could it be... this is Murong Qingxue?"

According to the information he knew, Murong Qingxue seemed to be afflicted by something inauspicious.

Not only did she have red spots on her face, but her body was also covered in red hair.

How could a woman with a hot figure, a veiled face, yet extraordinary temperament appear within the Murong Family?

Could it be... the other party's hidden illness has been cured?!

"This is a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion..."

Seeing Nalan Shijie staring at Cai Yan, Murong Fu replied with a somewhat low voice.

However, before he could finish speaking, Cai Yan suddenly raised her head indifferently.

"If you look at The King with such lewd eyes again, The King doesn't mind digging out your eyes!"

The cold voice echoed throughout the main hall.

Causing Nalan Shijie's mind to buzz, he nearly collapsed on the spot.

How dare he interrupt Gongzi from handling important matters, and even dare to look at her with such eyes.

This Human Race ant is truly seeking death!

"Hiss... Pro, Tongxuan Realm expert?!"

The Grey-robed Old Man standing beside Nalan Shijie, after sensing the aura from Cai Yan.

His whole body trembled with fright, and he could only stare at the other party with horror in his eyes, his face showing vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy.

Although he was the Second Elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect, his cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, which was still too far from a Tongxuan Realm expert.

"Cough..."

Seeing Cai Yan suddenly lose her temper, Xiao Chen couldn't help but cough.

Although he was still somewhat unclear about the whole story.

However, after hearing the conversation of these few people and combining it with Murong Qingxue's matter, he could somewhat guess the gist of it.

Isn't this the classic annulment plot?

He didn't expect that coming to the Murong Family for a trip, he would encounter such a melodramatic event.

However, being able to witness a classic famous scene from a third person's perspective had a different feeling.

After hearing Xiao Chen's cough, Cai Yan also restrained the cold killing intent on her body.

She just glanced at the two of them indifferently, and then continued to fiddle with her captivating fingers.

"Since City Lord Murong has an old acquaintance visiting, let's postpone our matter for now."

"After you handle your affairs, we'll continue with what we were doing."

As the atmosphere in the main hall became dead silent, Xiao Chen took a sip of tea, then raised his head and said calmly.

After speaking, Xiao Chen didn't even bother to look at Nalan Shijie, and continued to leisurely sip the tea in his hand.

After seeing this scene, Nalan Shijie's originally rather handsome face became exceptionally gloomy at this moment.

Who exactly is this guy?

Not only was his demeanor and bearing more extraordinary than him, the Young Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect.

He even had such a beauty accompanying him, and she was also a Tongxuan Realm expert.

In comparison, bringing a shabby old man by his side seemed far too inferior.

He didn't expect that he came to annul the engagement with people, and his momentum hadn't even fully erupted, yet he was suppressed by someone of the same age.

It was truly humiliating!

"Nephew Nalan Shijie, Murong Qingxue is unwell and resting in her room, why don't you wait in the back hall first, and after I finish handling the matters at hand, we can have a small drink and catch up..."

Murong Fu's words were not yet finished when Nalan Shijie interrupted him with a cold snort.

"No need!"

"Actually, this nephew has come today not to catch up, but to annul the engagement!"

Boom!!

Hearing Nalan Shijie's words, even though Murong Fu had some guesses, his mind still roared as if struck by thunder.

"Is this your intention?"

"Or is it your Father... Nalan Xiong's intention?!"

In front of outsiders.

Being told he wanted to annul the engagement by a junior in front of outsiders, Murong Fu's face was extremely unsightly, and he asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He and Nalan Xiong were close friends.

Although they had become somewhat estranged over the years, he still remembered this friendship in his heart.

After all, back then.

In the third year after Murong Bo encountered the accident, the situation in the City Lord's Mansion was somewhat volatile and unstable.

It was Nalan Xiong's suggestion.

To have Murong Qingxue and Nalan Shijie get engaged, thereby announcing the alliance between the two families to outsiders, which could stabilize the Murong Family's position.

If, over the years, because Murong Qingxue encountered an accident, the Nalan Family wanted to go back on their word.

It should also be Nalan Xiong who came, and privately sought him out to dissolve the engagement.

Instead of letting a junior bring a sect Elder to annul the engagement, and stating it so bluntly without regard for feelings in front of outsiders.

This had the implication of humiliating the Murong Family.

"This is my own intention!"

Nalan Shijie disdained distorting the truth and admitted it very straightforwardly at this moment.

"This marriage was decided by you two elders when we were still young."

"I haven't paid much attention to it over the years, but now there are rumors outside that Murong Qingxue is afflicted by something inauspicious, turning into a neither human nor ghost-like appearance."

"And I, as the Young Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect, how can I marry a monster covered in red hair..."

"Shut up!!"

Nalan Shijie stated the reason mercilessly, like a sharp knife piercing Murong Fu's heart.

Immediately causing the latter to roar out in anger.

Murong Bo, sitting in the wheelchair, was even more angered to the point of turning pale, and coughed incessantly from a sudden surge of anger.

Even at this moment.

As Murong Fu's furious words fell, a sound also came from the corner outside the main hall, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
