C22 Withdrawal of marriage

The sun shone like snow on the flagstones outside the house.

The Lu Family Hall was filled with people as they looked at Yun Luoyou who was sitting in the middle of the hall with disbelief.

Lu Mingfeng was even more shocked, as if he did not hear what Yun Luoyou said clearly, and said loudly: "What did you say? Say that again! "

Yun Luoyou's expression was calm as he leisurely repeated himself, "I said, I'm here today to end the engagement!"

Because of Yun Luoyou's words, the hall became silent, followed by a wave of noise, as though it was only now that Yun Luoyou realized what he meant.

Lu Mingfeng's complexion changed again and again, turning green and white, white and red.

It was one thing that he did not fancy Yun Luoyou, but to have Yun Luoyou come to his doorstep to break the engagement with him was another matter entirely.

The dignified great Young Master of Lu Family, with outstanding talent, had always been someone who disliked others. When had it become someone who disliked him?

If word of this got out, that young master Lu Family let a trash come knocking to end the engagement, how could he meet anyone in the future?

Alright, even if Yun Luoyou's recent outstanding performance had erased his reputation as a trash, being forced to break off the engagement with a woman was enough to make Lu Mingfeng into a joke with Biwu City.

Damn it, why couldn't those Death Soldier kill her?!

Lu Mingfeng hatefully thought in his heart, and the expression on his face became even more sinister. At a time like this, he couldn't care about acting all deep love anymore, he only coldly looked Yun Luoyou in the eye, and asked: "Everything's fine, why did you end up annulling the marriage?"

Yun Luoyou raised his eyebrows, as if he was extremely surprised by his question. "I thought that Young Master Lu was clearer about this than me."

Seeing that Yun Luoyou's face was calm, and that the words spoken were not polite, Lu Mingfeng could not help but shout: "What do I know? It's you who's coming to end the engagement! "

His words were straightforward, but he still felt guilty, and now that the Yun Family's matter had reached such a stage, anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on. From Yun Luoyou's performance in the past few days, she had probably guessed the truth long ago, so she really had a reason to come and cancel the engagement.

It was clearly a marriage that he had never really liked, but right now, it was also his fault for not agreeing to let Yun Luoyou annul the engagement.

It was all for his reputation, but it was mostly for the benefits.

At that time, the reason for the marriage was very clear. It was aimed at the Yun Family's Divine Artifact, and now that the Divine Artifact had disappeared, the matter of the Yun Family being exterminated was once again predicted by Yun Luoyou.

To Lu Mingfeng, annulling the engagement at this point of time was really not worth it.

Lu Family had never been one that was willing to pay such a great price.

Lu Mingfeng looked at Yun Luoyou coldly, and felt that he had been blind for the past ten years. He was clearly such a powerful person, but in these ten years, he had not seen any clues.

He definitely would not believe that Yun Luoyou had suddenly become this powerful.

How is it possible for someone to become so powerful in just a short span of ten days!?

Lu Mingfeng said fiercely: "Yun Luoyou, don't forget how this marriage was arranged! Our Lu Family has paid such a huge price, that we cannot tolerate you retreating as soon as you say it. "

The original owner remembered the engagement that year, and perhaps because this was one of the few things that made the original owner feel that he was being valued, it left a very deep impression on him.

Because the original owner was naturally unable to cultivate, and because the Divine Artifact was sealed to the original owner's body, from the start, the Yun Family didn't want the original owner to marry out, nor did they think that they would betroth her when she was her age.

Furthermore, the reason for the arrival of the Lu Family was unknown, and his warm attitude made others suspicious. The Yun Family had a huge secret, and they were especially cautious about this point, refusing him even more firmly.

It just so happened that one day, the Old Ancestor of the Yun Family suddenly got sick and the doctors were helpless. Just as he was about to die, his Lu Family suddenly took out a life-saving pill and snatched the Old Ancestor's life away from the hands of Prince Yan.

After that, Lu Family came to their doorstep to propose marriage again, causing the Yun Family to be unable to refuse, and they nodded in agreement.

In the heart of the original owner, Lu Mingfeng didn't care about rejecting her. She repeatedly visited this place to propose marriage for her, which made her extremely satisfied with herself. Even if she couldn't cultivate, there were still people who took her seriously and liked her.

The truth was that the original owners of the two families were only five years old when they made the engagement, so they weren't really clear on the process, and the reason why Hun Er remembered it so clearly later on was because Lu Mingfeng had spent many years telling her about this matter in her ear whenever he had the chance, telling her how much effort he had made with Lu Family in order to make the engagement with her.

The original owner etched this deeply in his heart.

Unfortunately, the one who was standing in front of him right now wasn't the original owner. Even if it was the original owner, Yun Luoyou believed that if he knew about everything that the Lu Family had done and how fervently they had come to propose marriage all those years ago, it was just for the sake of the Yun Family's Divine Artifact.

Seeing that Lu Mingfeng actually said the favor he owed her that year in such a moment of desperation, the corner of Yun Luoyou's mouth raised into a mocking smile.

Following the style of doing things with Lu Family and seeing that the benefits were equal, Yun Luoyou deeply suspected that the ancestor of the Yun Family was sick, and that the Lu Family had perhaps planned everything single-handedly.

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence allow his Lu Family to take out a life-saving pill at such a critical juncture?

This was not the world of her previous life and although pill were rare, they were not unique.

In this continent, in this remote Biwu City, the moment a pill appeared, it would be snatched away by others.

And just like that, Lu Family took out pill to save the Yun Family Patriarch without even blinking his eyes, which caused people to be suspicious of their motive.

However, Yun Luoyou still had one question that he had yet to resolve. Since the Jiang and Lu family had already waited for so many years, from the time the original owner was young until now, why didn't they just continue waiting?

At the very least, they could wait until after the marriage between the Yun and Lu Families was arranged. If they still could not find the Divine Artifact from the original owner, it would not be too late to make a move. After all, according to the marriage agreement, it would not be long until the two people get married.

He couldn't even wait for another year before making a move against the Yun Family. Why did he do this?

This question flashed past Yun Luoyou's mind, now was not the right time to explore, Yun Luoyou believed that as long as she continued to investigate, she would eventually find out the answer to this question. What she needed to do now was to end this marriage.

Yun Luoyou looked at Lu Mingfeng, his eyes filled with laughter: "Does Young Master Lu mean to blackmail me to get married?"

This was not a pleasant thing to say when it came out.

The Lu Family Family Head seated at the head of the table frowned, then raised his voice and said, "Miss Yun has misunderstood."

"What Mingfeng means is, our Lu Family have always been sincere towards this marriage, and in the past, this marriage was approved by the parents and elders of the Miss Yun, the marriage was a major affair, and they paid particular attention to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The elders of the Miss Yun had just passed away, and the news of the Miss Yun reneging on this marriage has spread and it is not good to the reputation of the Miss Yun."

Yun Luoyou's gaze turned from Lu Mingfeng to Lu Da.

This Lu Family Master's words are much more formidable than Lu Mingfeng's.

But so what?

In her previous life, anyone who had cultivated to the Tribulation Stage, and was thousands of times stronger than Lu Da, would be trembling in fear and trepidation in front of her. Don't even think about obtaining any benefits from it, even someone like Lu Da wouldn't be able to speak up in front of her in his previous life.

Yun Luoyou did not say anything else and only raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then does Master Lu Family mean that you do not agree to the end of the engagement?"

Lu Da felt that just by casually holding it in, Yun Luoyou had already made his heart jump. Even the bright sunlight outside the room was unable to stop that chill.

But how could this be?

The Yun Luoyou in front of him was obviously a little girl who was only a little more than ten years old. Even if she was not trash, the cultivation level would not have been much stronger than him.

It must be an illusion.

Lu Da became focused, raised the teacup on the table, drank a mouthful to suppress his shock, then slowly said: "If Miss Yun does not have any reasonable excuse, then I'm afraid this marriage cannot be annulled."

"The Yun Family is no longer here. Our Lu Family is still fine, we can't let others gossip about us."

Yun Luoyou finally could not hold back his laughter.

This laugh, was like a slap that ruthlessly slapped his face, made Lu Mingfeng almost jump up.

He shouted angrily: "Yun Luoyou, what are you laughing about? If you want to end the engagement, it won't be that easy. "

Yun Luoyou leisurely reached out his hand, pushed forward the marriage certificate on the table, and his trusted aide from before, and said seriously: "I'll say it again, I'm here today to end the engagement."

"Now, can Lu Family Master return that year's marriage certificate and keepsake to me?"

Lu Da had never met someone like Yun Luoyou before. She only had one goal, which was to not accept anything else.

She was clearly just a teenage girl, but she gave people a lot of pressure.

Lu Da shook his head at her: "Miss Yun, I'm afraid that's not possible."

Inside the hall, the rest of the Lu Family were all holding their breaths, not even daring to breathe loudly, as they were afraid that the person who was speaking would be startled and affect them.

Originally, none of the people from the Lu Family had taken Yun Luoyou seriously. Even if she and Lu Mingfeng had been engaged for more than ten years, she was still a trash that could not cultivate.

When something happened to the Yun Family, she had exposed her true strength. The matter of her Immortal Cloud Pavilion, as well as the news of her killing twenty of her assassinated Death Soldier on the streets with her own strength, suddenly came to these people's mind. So Yun Luoyou was actually so fearsome.

So now that she had come to break off the engagement, no one in Lu Family dared to be careless.

Especially when she was firm on the spot and her Lu Family disagreed, everyone thought that she would be angry and she might even cause a huge ruckus at the Lu Family. Who knew that Yun Luoyou's reaction would be completely out of their expectations?

She did not become angry after hearing Lu Da's words, nor did the expression on her face change. She only nodded and said, "I understand the meaning of the Lu Family Master's words."

"I'll leave the marriage certificate and the keepsake for the Lu Family here. As for the one that the Yun Family handed over to you at the time, since the Patriarch doesn't want to return it, then there's no rush. Whenever you think it through, bring the thing back to the Yun Family."

"Farewell!"
