"Damn Qin Feng, this princess will tear you to pieces!!"
After returning to the foreign envoy's inn, Princess Nanfeng was so angry that she started smashing things. She had never experienced such humiliation or disgrace in her life.
"It was I who underestimated Qin Feng. I never thought he would be so arrogant!"
Fang Chang was also burning with anger, but he was trying to control his emotions.
He was analyzing the reasons for the failure...
He had assumed that since Qin Feng dared to dig out his own younger brother's Supreme Bone, he would certainly not hesitate to kill Zhu Tou, who came to provoke him.
If a few more aristocratic geniuses could die, it would be even better. He could then return and openly promote a few geniuses from humble backgrounds, thereby using them to kill and frame others, stirring up the aristocrats' hatred towards Qin Feng.
But what he never expected was that Qin Feng was not arrogant when he should have been, and was overly arrogant when he shouldn't have been. He even dared to kill a princess of the Daxia envoy in broad daylight, which was completely unforeseen.
After calming down, Princess Nanfeng asked what they should do next.
Ever since Qin Feng displayed his complete form seven years ago, her father, the emperor, had been unable to sleep, worried that Qin Feng would grow up and help the Yin Yue Dynasty destroy the Daxia Dynasty.
So her mission to the Yin Yue Dynasty this time, besides weakening the aristocrats, was also to find an opportunity to kill Qin Feng and strengthen her position in her father's heart.
However, Qin Feng rarely left the Moon Goddess Palace, and when he did, he was protected by those young ladies, with the Moon Goddess always watching over him. Killing him in the Yin Yue Dynasty was almost as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Fang Chang was silent for a moment before saying, "I heard that Qin Feng will participate in the life-and-death elimination tournament."
Princess Nanfeng rejected the idea without hesitation.
In the life-and-death elimination tournament, it would indeed be legitimate to kill Qin Feng, and the Six Path Emperor would gladly agree to let the imperial students participate to weaken the Daxia Dynasty.
But she had personally experienced Qin Feng's strength today, which was absolutely terrifying and suffocating.
Moreover, the participants were not just Qin Feng but countless cultivators, each of whom would have to fight to the death.
"The life-and-death elimination tournament can be discussed later!"
Fang Chang changed the subject, "Before coming to the Yin Yue Dynasty, I left a backup plan to sow discord between the Qin family and the Heart of Heaven City."
Princess Nanfeng seemed to have an idea and smiled knowingly.
In addition to using the imperial students to scheme against the aristocrats, Fang Chang had also been working to sow discord among the aristocrats. After seven years of planning, cracks had already appeared among them.
The young princess of Heart of Heaven City, Lin Xier, came to visit with a group of experts, more accurately, to break off the engagement.
Seven years ago, her father, Lin Hao, had betrothed her to Qin Hao because he possessed the Supreme Bone, his father was the head of the Qin family, his mother was the former Sacred Maiden of Taibai Immortal Mountain, and his brother had the potential of an emperor.
But now his Supreme Bone had been dug out, his father had lost his position as head of the family, his brother had defected to the Yin Yue Dynasty, and his own cultivation had been mediocre for seven years.
On the other hand, she, the young princess of Heart of Heaven City, had become an imperial student. How could she possibly be content to marry a useless person like Qin Hao?
Ultimately, under Fang Chang's long-term influence, women should take control of their own happiness and pursue their own love.
So, without reporting to her father, Lin Hao, she brought a group of royal experts to the Qin family to break off the engagement.
"Break off the engagement!!"
Qin Tian's face instantly turned dark, and he almost lost control of his primal power.
For the aristocrats, face was more important than anything else. Being personally rejected by the bride's side was a blatant slap in the face to the Qin family.
If this news got out, how could the Qin family continue to mix in the aristocratic circle?
Moreover, his son Qin Hao was not really useless. He had made sacrifices and endured for the greater good of the Qin family.
"That's right, break off the engagement!"
Lin Xier was not the least bit afraid.
In the past, only Heart of Heaven City might have considered the strength of the Qin family, but now she was an imperial student, backed by the royal family. With the support of two major forces, she had no reason to fear the Qin family.
Qin Tian slammed the table and stood up, a mountainous aura surging out.
The group of royal experts' faces changed abruptly, and they quickly shielded Lin Xier.
But Qin Tian's strength was too great, and even if they joined forces, they would find it hard to resist.
Lin Xier's face showed a hint of panic, clearly not having anticipated this situation.
A young but resolute voice rang out, "Father, can I make my own decision about my marriage?!"
Everyone's gaze turned to the outside of the hall, where they saw a young man with sharp eyebrows and a star-like appearance, standing tall and muscular, already showing the characteristics of a human-form beast, with a determination in his eyes that was beyond imagination.
He was Qin Hao, now 12 years old.
Clearly, he had grown a lot in the past seven years, especially in terms of his mental fortitude. He showed no emotional波动 when faced with the engagement being broken off.
"Hao, why are you here!?"
Qin Tian retracted his aura, his face showing a pained expression.
Both of his sons were unfortunate. His eldest son had taken on the blame for the family and ventured alone in a foreign country, while his younger son endured unimaginable pain and daily cultivation. Now, he was being publicly humiliated by the bride's side.
As a father, he could do nothing.
Qin Hao looked straight at Lin Xier and said calmly, "I remember my brother told me something when he was young: 'Thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other. Do not mock a poor youth.' I may be useless now, but that doesn't mean I won't rise again."
Lin Xier, still shaken by the earlier scene, tried to remain calm, "Then let's have a battle in the capital three years from now. If you lose, we will publicly dissolve the engagement, how about that?"
"Why go through so much trouble to dissolve the engagement?"
Qin Hao walked straight to the table and wrote a divorce letter with a clean and decisive hand.
"You, you dare to divorce me!!"
Lin Xier's eyes widened in disbelief, seriously doubting whether she was still dreaming.
Given Qin Hao's current situation, where even his own relatives didn't care for him, he actually dared to divorce her, the young princess of Heart of Heaven City.
Didn't he know that his only value to the Qin family was his engagement to her?
"Three years from now, we'll meet in the capital!"
Qin Hao's eyes were bright, unafraid of any challenge.
Qin Tian was moved to tears, knowing that his second son's invincible heart had been formed, and the next step was to break through and regain his supreme position.
This also made him think of his eldest son, Qin Feng, wondering if he was being bullied while alone outside.
"Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"
Qin Feng, feeling no pressure before the college entrance exam, was teaching the young ladies to dance in ancient costumes.
A young lady brought him a piece of intelligence about his brother's engagement being broken off.
"Ha, break off the engagement!?"
Qin Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood, finding the plot too damn familiar.
But hadn't he already dug out his second brother's Supreme Bone? Why was there suddenly a breakup trend, was it to stack buffs or something?
And when did he ever say, "Thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other. Do not mock a poor youth"? He clearly said, "Thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other. The dead are the greatest," right...
