Chapter 37: Who said we are here to break off the engagement?

The next day, at the outer courtyard square of the Nan family.

Nan Tianjun directed the people to carry boxes of things onto the spirit beast carriage, with the air of someone moving house.

Nan Qiong and Nan Xiyan waited aside.

As for Pei Zhao, after Elder Gu died, it was said that he was so scared that he peed his pants and crawled out of the Nan family. He must have gone to the Lingxiao Sect to complain.

Nan Qiong rubbed his hands and said: “Father, elder sister, I won’t go with you today.”

Nan Tianjun also knew what kind of person his son was. Over the years, he had been sarcastic and even punched and kicked Han Yue, and he had turned a blind eye. It was indeed not suitable for him to go now.

But as his son, Nan Tianjun assumed he had a plan to rectify this blunder, so he didn’t bother with him anymore.

After everything was packed, Nan Xian, under the guidance of a disciple, boarded the spirit beast sedan chair. As for Nan li, she volunteered not to cause trouble and disappeared early in the morning. Nanfeng was also sent by Nan Xian to guard Nan li.

The sedan chair was entirely white, covered with layers of gauze curtains, pulled by four second-order spirit beasts, white unicorns.

The Nan family, as the first major force in Yunzhong City, naturally attracted attention. Along the way, many cultivators stopped to watch.

Naturally, some people also saw where the Nan family was going, and the voices of schadenfreude and flattery constantly reached their ears.

“That direction is the Han family? It seems the Nan family is finally going to break off the engagement.”

“Lady’s Xiyan is not only talented, but her beauty is also the best in Yunzhong City. Han Yue, that waste, only has a good-looking face, how can he be worthy.”

“Haha, it seems that after today, the Han family will completely become the laughingstock of the city.”

“I wonder what’s being carried on the spirit beast carriage. And the sedan chair in the lead is actually pulled by white unicorns. It seems that someone from the Lingxiao Sect is sitting inside, it’s luxurious.”

Two hours later, they stopped in front of a mansion. The disciples at the gate had already gone inside to report.

Nan Tianjun then directed the disciples to carry all the things behind them into the Han family.

It was a pity to waste these resources, so they would be placed in the Han family for a while.

The news of the Nan family’s arrival quickly spread to the inner courtyard.

In a small courtyard in the back house, a young man with a handsome face and a heroic spirit between his brows was practicing boxing under the scorching sun.

Punch after punch, his wheat-colored skin was covered in sweat, his strength was natural and imposing, but he lacked soul power.

“Yo, waste, still practicing? The Nan family is here to break off the engagement, you’re going to be the laughingstock of the whole Yunzhong City after today.” A arrogant voice came from outside the courtyard.

Han Yue didn’t pay any attention and continued boxing.

Until the arrogant man outside directed someone to kick Han Yue over:

“A waste should look like a waste. Lady’s Nan is not someone you can covet. I warn you not to make any small moves, and obediently break off the engagement with Lady’s Xiyan.”

A flash of coldness appeared in Han Yue’s eyes. The girl who used to follow him around as a child had grown up, and he shouldn’t be clinging to his childhood feelings.

At this moment, a green figure ran forward and helped Han Yue up:

“Brother Han Yue, are you alright?”

Han Yue got up and said self-deprecatingly:

“Xue’er, you don’t need to worry about me, they’re right, I’m a complete waste.”

“Brother Han Yue, don’t think that way, Xue’er will always be by your side.” The girl persuaded.

Han Yue lowered his head: “Xue’er, you don’t need to do this, you know, I’m engaged.”

“But isn’t the Nan family here to break off the engagement?”

“?” The woman realized after she spoke that she had just been a little careless with her words.

Han Yue shook his head and chuckled, not caring about his disheveled appearance, and walked towards the courtyard, the girl in green clothes following closely behind.

In the hall, Han Batian sat in the main seat with a worried expression: “They’ve come, haven’t they?”

The elders of the Han family beside him were furious:

“The Nan family is so shameless! They made a marriage contract with Han Yue when he was talented, but now that Nan Xiyan is favored by the young master of the Lingxiao Sect, they can’t wait to come and break off the engagement! It’s outrageous!”

“What can we do? The Nan family is now flourishing, what can we do?”

Everyone had already anticipated what would happen next, but they heard a disciple report:

“Fa…Father!”

“What are you panicking about? Come, let’s go and see.”

Seeing Han Batian leave the hall, the disciple shouted from behind:

“Father, the Nan family head also brought a bunch of resources!”

Han Batian’s mind was in turmoil, naturally he didn’t notice what the disciple said.

When they arrived at the square, they saw Nan Tianjun, who was usually elusive, personally directing people to unload boxes from the spirit beast carriage.

Beside him stood Lin Xiyan, the pride of Yunzhong City, and a girl in white.

Upon seeing the girl, everyone couldn’t help but be startled. Her temperament and appearance were unlike anyone in the world.

But considering the current situation, they quickly recovered from their curiosity and amazement. Han Batian asked:

“Head Nan, this is…?”

Nan Tianjun stepped forward: “Oh, you’re being polite. Brother Han, I wonder where young Han Yue is?”

Han Batian secretly sighed, sure enough, they came for Han Yue. His face immediately turned black, but since things had come to this, he still welcomed them into the hall, and sent someone to call Han Yue.

In the hall, the elders of the Han family saw Nan Xian sitting in the main seat of the guest seat, and they were even more curious about her identity. Even Nan Tianjun was so polite and hospitable to her. Could she be someone from the Lingxiao Sect?

Nan Tianjun coughed lightly:

“Brother Han, I brought my daughter here today for the matter of Han Yue.”

Han Batian’s tone was calm, but his anger was not concealed: “Head Nan, how can a minor’s marriage be a joke? Now the Nan family wants to take advantage of our misfortune and break off the engagement? How can my son be so humiliated by you?”

Nan Tianjun looked like ‘how could you think of me like that’, coupled with his burly physique, it was really eye-catching.

“Who said we’re here to break off the engagement?”

Han Batian’s tense emotions dissipated, he was stunned for a moment, uncertainly said: “The whole world is betting on this, isn’t Head Nan here for the marriage of my son and Xiyan?”

“It’s about the marriage, but not breaking it off.”

Nan Tianjun then sighed: “Sigh, I know that the Han family has been declining in recent years, and I haven’t come forward, it’s because there have been changes in the clan.”

“Now, we are also going to move our entire clan out of Yunzhong City, and we specifically came to find Brother Han.”

“The Nan family’s resources and industries in Yunzhong City will all be given to the Han family. After all, we are in-laws, we can’t let the City Lord’s Mansion take advantage of this.”

“Also, I’ve heard the rumors in Yunzhong City recently. That’s why my daughter came all the way from the Lingxiao Sect for this matter.”

“Xiyan knows that Han Yue’s cultivation has regressed, and she went to the Lingxiao Sect to find a way to treat Han Yue.”

Nan Xiyan stepped forward at the right time and handed a jade box to Han Batian, her cheeks slightly flushed:

“Uncle Han, this is a fifth-grade pill, the Gathering Soul Pill, that I obtained for Han Yue. It should be able to cure Han Yue’s loss of soul power.”

She said she obtained it, but it was a pill from the Saintess, she just picked one with a flaw.

But it still hurt, fifth grade!

But the Han family was stunned by one piece of news after another. Happiness came too suddenly, they were a little caught off guard.

“Nan…Brother Nan, this…” Han Batian couldn’t speak properly, but he couldn’t stop smiling.

Even the elders of the Han family were shocked. They didn’t expect the Nan family to be so righteous. They had been too narrow-minded.

Moreover, a fifth-grade pill was not easy to obtain even in the Lingxiao Sect. Nan Xiyan must have gone through a lot of trouble to find this pill for Han Yue. They actually had such a low opinion of the Nan family.

Just at this moment, Han Yue walked in from outside the hall, followed by the girl in green clothes.

Han Yue’s eyes were filled with light, he stared intently at Nan Xiyan, until Nan Xiyan felt a blush rise to her ears, then he shifted his gaze and bowed to everyone:

“Han Yue greets Father, Uncle Nan, and all the elders.”

Then he looked at Nan Xiyan and said softly: “Long time no see.”
