NOVEL WEB Chapter 8: I Have No Objection
"Su Zhan? The waste who practiced for more than ten years and is still only at the fourth level of Meridian Opening Realm?"
Su Chengyun shook his head indifferently, " That's impossible! Compared to this monstrous genius, Su Zhan is simply a world of difference! You must have felt wrong, after all, you haven't seen him in so many years, and his appearance has changed a lot!"
"Well, maybe!" Su Zhaoyue also felt that there was a huge gap between this talented young man and the waste Su Zhan she had heard of, and nodded.
"If he is Su Zhan…" Su Chengyun smiled and said, "If Su Zhan has such talent, I wouldn't be so decisive to cancel this marriage for you, even if he could achieve one-tenth of this monstrous genius. But for Su Zhan, reaching one-tenth of this genius is like a crazy dream, isn't it? Haha!"
"Second Grandpa, having poor talent in cultivation cannot be a reason to degrade Su Zhan like this!" Su Zhaoyue frowned and said, "Moreover, I am canceling the engagement not only because of his low talent, but also because we have no feelings for each other. It was only because of a joke by the elders that we hastily agreed to the marriage. And, the path I, Su Zhaoyue, am going to take is not something an ordinary person can follow. Forcing a marriage would only harm him!"
"Okay, okay! My precious granddaughter is right!" Su Chengyun smiled.
He looked at the dead guards and his mood became heavy again.
If he had not insisted on taking this mountain road, the Su family would not have suffered such losses.
With a sigh, Su Chengyun said, "Let's go, Zhaoyue. Go to the Su family in Azure City as soon as possible to cancel this marriage and focus on your cultivation."
"Okay." Su Zhaoyue nodded and returned to the carriage. After roughly treating the wounded soldiers, the convoy continued on.
…
At this time, Su Zhan had also caught up with the Bloodfang Beast. He used the Shattering Jade Finger at the back of its neck, and a burst of qi exploded, completely killing the already weakened beast.
"Eating the flesh of a third-order demon beast is beneficial for a martial artist's cultivation, and its bones, fur, and skin are also good materials for refining equipment."
After gazing at the Bloodfang Beast for a while, Su Zhan used his fingers as a knife, wrapped in energy, and directly tore open its skin and flesh, taking its pair of blood fangs. Since the Bloodfang Beast was too large to bring back, he decided to take its most valuable part- the blood fangs.
Perfect, with this pair of fangs, he could forge a sword. A third-order demon beast material should be at least a Spiritual weapon!
Weapons are divided into five levels: Ordinary, Spiritual, Profound, King, and Divine.
The long sword that was bitten off by the Bloodfang Beast was an Ordinary-level weapon.
Of course, it was also of high quality in the ordinary level. It was difficult for ordinary Essence Condensation Realm martial artists to destroy it. It was only the exaggerated bite force of the Bloodfang Beast that could destroy the long sword.
Taking the pair of blood fangs, Su Zhan did not continue to stay in the wilderness and began to return to the Su family.
In the wilderness, the Bloodfang Beast was the strongest, and now that it had been killed, there was no reason to stay any longer.
…
Azure City, Su family mansion.
In the main hall, Su Tianhai and several important Su family elders were somewhat nervous as they watched Su Chengyun and the others walk in from the gate.
Although they were all from the Su family, the Su family in Tang City had many strong Essence Condensation Realm experts, and the two families had a big difference in strength. Therefore, even as the host, the elders of the Azure City Su family were still anxious, afraid of causing any major trouble that could endanger the entire Su family.
Su Tianhai showed a polite smile and said, "You have travelled a long distance. Would you like to…"
"No need!"
Su Chengyun directly interrupted Su Tianhai's words and said calmly, "Su Tianhai, you and my nephew were friends, and I be considered your elder. We are all family, there's no need for pleasantries. Let's get straight to the point!"
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Tianhai." Su Zhaoyue stepped forward and bowed.
Su Chengyun glanced at Su Tianhai with some pride and said, "Su Tianhai, this is my granddaughter, Su Zhaoyue. She is only fifteen years old, but she is already a Qi Sea Realm martial artist. Tell me honestly, does anyone in your Su family compare to her?"
"Second Grandpa!" Su Zhaoyue frowned, feeling annoyed at Su Chengyun's straightforwardness.
"Since we've come to cancel the engagement, what's there to hide?" Su Chengyun said. "Besides, I'm not exaggerating. It's just the truth!"
"The truth?" Su Tianhai's smile disappeared, and he said coldly, "The engagement can be cancelled, but the reason isn't that my son isn't good enough for your granddaughter, but that your Su family is too snobbish and not worthy of my son!"
"What did you say!" Su Chengyun was immediately angry, and his mid-level Essence Condensation aura enveloped everyone present, including Su Tianhai.
"Second Grandpa! We're here to reason with them, not to threaten Uncle Su!" Su Zhaoyue looked at Su Chengyun and said unhappily.
"Alright, alright! Let's talk reason then." Su Chengyun was obviously very fond of Su Zhaoyue and quickly withdrew his aura. He glanced at the elders, who were pale and fearful, and smiled.
Reasoning? Now that these people have seen the power of this old man, they dare not speak rashly about reason! I don't believe that the small Su family in Azure City really has no one who's not afraid of death!
Laughing coldly in his heart, Su Chengyun said, "Just like what Zhaoyue said, the engagement was just child's play. Besides, the gap between Zhaoyue and Su Zhan is too big. Being together would inevitably drag Zhaoyue down. Su Tianhai, since the cancellation of the engagement was initiated by our Su family, we will also compensate you."
"I don't want your compensation!"
Su Tianhai took a deep breath and said, "Just know that if you cancel the engagement today, you must not regret it in the future!"
"Regret?" Su Chengyun was stunned and thought he had misheard.
Immediately, he laughed heartily, "I will never regret it! Since you agreed, let Su Zhan come out! After all, it's his and Zhaoyue's matter. We need to clarify face-to-face and cancel the engagement to make it official."
"Zhan'er…he…"
Su Tianhai paused for a moment and looked towards the door. He was surprised and showed a smile. He continued, "Zhan'er has already come!"
"I have no objection. Let's cancel the engagement!"
Su Zhan said indifferently as he walked in from the door.
At this moment, Su Chengyun and the others also turned their heads to look, and when their eyes fell on Su Zhan's face, they were all stunned.
"No, how could this be!"
Su Chengyun stretched out his withered old hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He stared at Su Zhan and asked in a hoarse voice, "You, you are Su Zhan?"
Su Zhan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the people he met in the barren mountains were the ones who came to cancel the engagement.
Glancing at the stunned Su family members of the Tang City, he said coldly, "I am Su Zhan. Don't waste words. Bring out the Su family's marriage contract! Let's cancel it together and make it invalid!"
An elder from beside Su Chengyun subconsciously took out the marriage contract and handed it to Su Zhan.
"Wait!"
Just as Su Zhan was about to take the marriage contract, Su Chengyun suddenly snatched it away.
Holding the marriage contract tightly as if it were a treasure, Su Chengyun squeezed out a smile and said, "Su Zhan, I think we need to consider this engagement carefully!"
