C6 To Sink into the Lowest of the Filthy
Huan Yunche admitted that he couldn't say that he loved Chu Liyue, but he wasn't without feelings.
Back then, in order to obtain Chu Liyue's heart, he had also put in a lot of effort. From the moment Chu Liyue had taken a test for her superior talent, he had tried his best to carve traces of himself in Chu Liyue's heart and guide her to fall in love with him.
After all these years, Chu Liyue had been sincere to him, and he wasn't without emotions.
If Chu Lu didn't die and his Chu Clan flourished, then even if Chu Liyue succeeded in her own cultivation, he wouldn't mind giving her the position of Palace Queen.
Even after the death of Chu Lu and his wife, he acquiesced in Chu Mingyue's approach, but he was not a person who disliked new and old times.
He had thought that as long as Chu Liyue continued to be infatuated with him, he would still be willing to give her the position of concubine in the palace and protect her for the rest of her life.
But if Chu Liyue really lost her Profound Bead and became a cripple, even if Huan Yunche ascended the throne to become emperor, he still wouldn't be able to make her his concubine in the palace.
This was because a concubine who did not have a Profound Strength could not give birth to children with cultivation aptitude at all.
In a confrontation against the Four Great Families of the Shenjing, the royal family's Huan Family was always at a disadvantage. If there were no outstanding descendants, then maybe one or two generations later, their Huan Family would be submerged in the endless river of history.
Unless he could be Prince Jin for the rest of his life, he didn't have to care about that.
But he had plotted for so many years, and his mother had done so much for him. How could he give up just for a woman?
Huan Yunche's mind worked quickly.
Back then, he had chosen Chu Liyue to set up the marriage contract because of two things: War God Chu Lu's influence and Chu Liyue's high innate talent that she had tested since she was young.
The former would give him enough support and bargaining power to give him a lead in the struggle for the throne, while the latter would greatly increase the chances of his children possessing good aptitudes.
Now that Chu Lu was dead and Chu Liyue was a cripple, both of Chu Liyue's advantages were gone.
Fortunately, when the news of Chu Lu and his wife's death reached him, he immediately changed his attitude towards Chu Mingyue and allowed her, who had been following him, to enter into an ambiguous range.
Huan Yunche once again used the Profound Strength to sense the flow of the Profound Strength between Chu Liyue's brows. After confirming that there were no other movements, his expression slowly turned serious.
Perhaps, the time had come to indicate his choice.
Chu Liyue was still standing tall and straight: "That's right, my Profound Bead has already been sucked away." Her gaze fell on Chu Mingyue. "Little Sister Mingyue understands this point the best. Otherwise, how can you be so sure that I have lost all my Cultivation Level?"
Chu Mingyue's face changed slightly, and she laughed heartily, "That's right, who asked me to be so concerned about my sister? Naturally, I was the first to notice the changes that had occurred in my sister. "
Huan Yunche had grown up in the palace, so he clearly heard the hidden meaning in their words.
But for him, the most important thing right now was not how Chu Liyue's Profound Bead was lost, nor was it how Chu Mingyue did it. What was important was that there was no longer any need to maintain his marriage with Chu Liyue.
Chu Mingyue, on the other hand, was his best partner in marriage.
Huan Yunche raised his chin, and with an unreadable expression, he said, "Chu Liyue, since you have already lost your Cultivation Level, why do you still need a Rank 5 Strange Beast?"
Chu Liyue turned her head and looked coldly at Huan Yunche's handsome face.
Huan Yunche's handsome face became cold: "Why aren't you offering your Strange Beast s, and begging Mingyue to spare your life? Otherwise, if you were to speak rudely to a cultivator, it would already be enough for you to die. "
In terms of Profound Origin Continent, cultivators were respected. The distance between ordinary people and cultivators was even greater than the chasm between heaven and earth.
In front of cultivators, ordinary people were like ants and dogs, simply unworthy of their attention.
Even people from aristocratic families, those who could cultivate, and those who could not, even if they were blood brothers and sisters, their fate and status were completely different.
With Huan Yunche's attitude, it was obvious that he had put Chu Liyue, who had lost her Profound Bead, into the ranks of the ordinary people.
As for Chu Liyue's possessions, including this Strange Beast, they could be taken away at any time.
Chu Mingyue nestled into Huan Yunche's embrace, her tender cherry lips slightly curled up, revealing a proud smile.
Ever since she was young, her genius elder sister who had been above her head since she was young, the genius elder sister who had concealed her brilliance, had been smacked by the man she loved the most, into the lowest layer.
To lose his father, his mother, his fiance, his talent — everything that mattered to him must be gone. This must be a painful feeling, Sister Liyue?
Receiving Huan Yunche's order, the two guards approached Chu Liyue: "Miss Chu, please hand over the Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger."
Want to rob? Chu Liyue smiled mockingly, "I have always been the only one to steal from others. No one else has ever stolen from me!"
