98: Shen Guyan: I'm not convinced. What do I lack compared to him?

Moreover, the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Art had long since spread throughout the Jianghu.

However, since Duan Zhengchun had given his opinion, he was also hesitating.

"Since you've said so, Son-in-law, then let's choose the Nine Yin Manual." Tang Lingfeng took a deep breath and said.

"Father, you've changed your tune so quickly? You don't plan to discuss it with the Elders and the others anymore?" Tang Lan said irritably.

"What's there to say? I am the Sect Leader, and you are my daughter. Naturally, I have the final say," Tang Lingfeng said directly.

Seeing her father's rare act of arbitrary decision-making, Tang Lan gave a helpless, bitter smile.

As expected, her father, who usually disliked external possessions, could not remain immune to such things when they appeared.

But it was no wonder; after all, the things Duan Zhengchun brought out were too tempting. No one could resist such a temptation.

"Someone, come..."

Tang Lingfeng shouted to the outside, and an old man immediately walked in.

"Pass down the word, prepare good wine and food. Today, I want to have a proper drink with my Virtuous Son-in-law," Tang Lingfeng said with a smile.

The old man was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Virtuous Son-in-law? Where did a son-in-law come from?

Could it be that Shen Guyan had arrived? But he hadn't seen anyone.

"What are you dazing for? Go, quickly!" Tang Lingfeng frowned and barked coldly.

"Yes, I'll go prepare it right away."

The old man was startled. How long had it been since he'd seen the Sect Leader lose his temper?

What was happening today? Was it because of that person the Eldest Young Miss brought back?

Thinking of the "son-in-law" the Sect Leader just mentioned, the old man's expression changed abruptly.

Only then did he realize that the "son-in-law" the Sect Leader spoke of must be the man the Eldest Young Miss brought back.

What was going on? Wasn't the Eldest Young Miss's fiancé Shen Guyan? How could it change just like that?

Weren't they afraid the Shen Family would come looking for trouble?

After all, breaking the engagement directly without even notifying them was very disrespectful to the male party.

The Shen Family would certainly not let it go.

"Sigh, I don't know what the Sect Leader is thinking, to actually take a liking to that pretty boy."

The old man shook his head helplessly. Such matters were not for a steward like him to manage.

What he needed to do now was to prepare as quickly as possible and entertain the guest with good wine and food.

"Father, I think we should have someone notify Shen Guyan to come over and make the matter of breaking the engagement clear."

"The more it's delayed, the worse it will be," Tang Lan suddenly spoke up.

At the mention of Young Master Feather, the smile on Tang Lingfeng's face disappeared.

This was indeed a trouble. This Shen Guyan's strength was among the best of the younger generation.

Now in his twenties, he had already reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Otherwise, the Tang Family would not have agreed to an alliance with the Shen Family.

Because of the news he received, Shen Guyan was the grandson of the Great Hero Shen Lang.

Coupled with his daughter's reasons, he wouldn't have let go of Shen Guyan, who had come to the Tang Clan to steal Puppet Techniques, in the first place.

It was all because Shen Guyan was the grandson of the Great Hero Shen Lang. Therefore, even the Tang Clan would have to think twice before moving against him.

"It seems you have completely let go of your feelings for him?" Tang Lingfeng said with a serious expression.

"Shen Guyan's strength is certainly not bad, but compared to my husband, he is still far behind."

"Moreover, I lost the bet, so naturally I must fulfill the wager."

"As for me and Shen Guyan, it can only be said that we were destined to meet but not to be together!" Tang Lan shook her head.

"If that's the case, then notify him directly."

"However, I'm still a bit worried that Shen Guyan will cause trouble," Tang Lingfeng said with a frown.

"Father, don't worry about this. This is a matter for our younger generation; let us solve it ourselves."

"If he can part ways amicably, then perhaps we can still be friends in the future."

"If he insists on being difficult, then it will come down to our respective abilities," Tang Lan said.

"Laner, you know that I'm not worried about Shen Guyan, but the people behind him," Tang Lingfeng said helplessly.

"Is Sect Master Tang referring to the Great Hero Shen Lang?" Duan Zhengchun asked.

"You brat, you've already abducted my precious daughter, and you still call me Sect Master?" Tang Lingfeng looked at Duan Zhengchun with a stern face.

Duan Zhengchun was startled and quickly changed his address.

"Father-in-law, if you are worried about this, in my opinion, it's completely unnecessary."

"With Shen Lang's character, he certainly wouldn't stand up for Shen Guyan in such a matter."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have left behind the reputation of a Great Hero in the Jianghu," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"What you say makes some sense. I still quite admire Shen Lang."

"Since that's the case, then it's settled," Tang Lingfeng nodded.

Soon, Tang Lan had someone notify Shen Guyan to come to the banquet. Of course, she didn't mention the matter of breaking the engagement.

Soon, the banquet was prepared.

And at this time, Shen Guyan also arrived at the Tang Family home.

After receiving Tang Lan's notification, Shen Guyan rushed to the Tang Family home immediately.

"Sect Leader, Young Master Shen has arrived," the steward said.

"Please show him in..." Tang Lingfeng nodded.

Soon, the steward led in a young man who looked like a Young Master.

"Shen Guyan pays his respects to Uncle Tang." Shen Guyan bowed to Tang Lingfeng.

"There's no need for such formality, Nephew..." Tang Lingfeng said.

Shen Guyan saw Duan Zhengchun sitting with Tang Lan. When he saw Tang Lan sitting next to Duan Zhengchun, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Laner, who is this?" Shen Guyan looked at Duan Zhengchun.

Upon seeing Duan Zhengchun, he instinctively felt that something was not quite right.

Usually, when the two met, it was rarely through a servant's notification; they would both go look for each other personally.

"Let me introduce you. This is Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun."

"And he is also Little Lan's future husband," Tang Lingfeng said directly.

Since he had already decided to break the engagement, Tang Lingfeng didn't hide anything and spoke plainly.

Sure enough, hearing Tang Lingfeng's words, Shen Guyan's expression changed instantly.

Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun—he had naturally heard of him.

The profligate prince of Dali. The Duan Family established their Kingdom through martial arts, yet produced such a profligate prince. To be honest, Shen Guyan looked down on Duan Zhengchun.

With such good resources and not practicing martial arts properly, but instead being obsessed with women all day, it was simply a disgrace to the younger generation.

"Uncle Tang, this joke is not funny at all."

"Moreover, it was agreed upon before that Laner and I would marry at the end of this year."

"For Uncle to suddenly say this, isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Shen Guyan struggled to suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes fixed on Tang Lingfeng.

"This matter is indeed my Tang Family's fault. We will return the previous Betrothal Gifts twofold," Tang Lingfeng said.

"Laner, you agreed to this?" Shen Guyan looked at Tang Lan.

He wanted to get the answer he desired from Tang Lan.

Tang Lan showed a helpless expression; she knew this would be the case.

"Guyan, my father isn't lying. Let's part ways."

"I have already agreed to marry Brother Chun," Tang Lan took a deep breath and said.

"I don't believe it. Why? In what way am I worse than him? Is it just because he is the Prince of Zhennan of Dali?" Shen Guyan said emotionally.

'You can't compare to him in any way, whether it's strength or other aspects.'

Of course, these words could not be said. If they were, the situation would be even more uncontrollable.

"This has nothing to do with status. You should know my temper."

"I lost the bet, so naturally I must fulfill my promise to marry him."

"Therefore, it can only be said that we were destined to meet but not to be together," Tang Lan said.
