BOOM!
The front hall was instantly blown to pieces, reduced to rubble and chaos everywhere!
“Enemy attack!” Granny Yinhe’s expression darkened as she raised her protective Qi shield.
Xi Yaoyue swept her long sleeve, forming a ripple that shielded her children from the flying debris.
“Madam! Miss! Young Master!” The estate guards reacted swiftly and rushed over.
“Who dares to attack the Marquis Residence!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several golden-armored warriors descended from the sky, landing at the entrance of the Marquis Residence.
In the Grand Qian Capital, someone dared to attack a marquis’s residence?
If things escalated, they would immediately suppress the threat.
Amidst the smoke, Su Yun scratched his head. “This part wasn’t in the plot.”
Today was supposed to be about the engagement annulment—nothing else.
Why was there a meteor crashing into the Marquis Residence?
That wasn’t in the book.
“If it’s not part of Su Moli’s plot, then… are they here for me?” Su Yun wondered.
Crash!
The rubble was pushed aside, and several handsome young men crawled out, battered and disheveled.
“We shouldn’t have trusted Brother Feng. This Astral Shift technique is fast, sure, but it hurts too!”
“Brother Lei, my bad. I’ll improve it next time. Though, this time was better—last time, my leg was embedded in magma, and my bone marrow got roasted.”
“Can someone help me? My shadow is stuck.”
“Brother Cheng, I got you!”
Before everyone’s eyes, three young men emerged from the rubble.
The guards raised their weapons. “Who are you people? Why did you attack the Marquis Residence?”
The leading young man quickly waved his hands. “It’s a misunderstanding, really! I’m a disciple of the Celestial Observatory.”
He fumbled around and pulled out a token, grinning as he handed it over.
Hearing the Celestial Observatory mentioned, the guards relaxed slightly.
But the moment they saw the token, their pupils shrank. With a clang, they raised their blades to the young man’s throat. “Blood Sea Sect—you’re from a demonic sect!”
The young man slapped his forehead. “Ah! Wrong token. That’s not mine.”
The guards sighed in relief. It seemed to be a war trophy taken from the demonic sect…
The young man pointed behind him. “It’s Brother Lei’s!”
Clang!
The guards all drew their swords again.
Yet the man surnamed Lei remained calm. “I did join the Blood Sea Sect.”
The guards grew tense.
The Blood Sea Sect was a true demonic cult. It had once slaughtered an entire city—over a million lives lost!
How could such a wicked disciple be targeting the Zhenyuan Marquis Residence?
The guards: “…”
Finally, the three young men explained everything clearly.
Feng Zhongyu chuckled. “I’m the second disciple of the Celestial Observer. My master sent me to check on the Su family’s young master.”
“These two are Lei Xingtian from Azure Soaring Holy Land and Cheng Zhenying from Nine Firmament Wheel Palace.”
“They’re my good friends. We were testing the Astral Shift technique and messed up, accidentally crashing into your estate. Truly sorry.”
“A small token, to express our apologies.”
He then took out a spatial pouch and handed everyone present a pill.
Xi Yaoyue finally relaxed and smiled. “So you’re from the Celestial Observatory.”
In the Grand Qian, the Celestial Observatory held extraordinary status. The Celestial Observer read the stars daily to divine fortune and misfortune for the emperor.
They were concerned about the Devour Heaven Demonic Art inside Su Yun’s body and sent disciples to observe.
“This is… the Golden Rain Pill?” Xi Yaoyue looked at the pill in her hand in surprise.
Each one cost 100,000 spirit stones—not cheap at all.
Giving them out like this had cost Feng Zhongyu nearly a million spirit stones—quite the expense.
“This is too generous. Fixing one front hall doesn’t need this much,” Xi Yaoyue declined.
Feng Zhongyu smiled and shook his head. “My teacher said not to disturb that young master’s extraction of the cultivation method.”
“I failed the mission. I’m willing to accept punishment. Madam, please don’t argue.”
“Third Sister, ah!” Su Yun had already shoved the pill into Su Moli’s mouth.
Su Moli was holding the child and had no free hand to remove the pill.
Besides, now that it was in her mouth, how could she refuse?
With a strange expression, she swallowed the Golden Rain Pill.
“You little rascal…” Xi Yaoyue was helpless and had no choice but to accept it.
Chu Lingxiao played with the pill in his hand. “Ridiculous.”
Only then did Xi Yaoyue remember to deal with him. She spoke coldly, “The Radiant Light Holy Land and the Su family have reached an agreement.”
“Since that’s the case, the engagement is cancelled. From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s business.”
“Return and destroy the engagement document. Do not go back on it.”
“Holy Son of Radiant Light, please leave.”
Given a direct dismissal, Chu Lingxiao snorted. “Regret? This is the best decision I’ve ever made!”
Swoosh!
At that moment, Feng Zhongyu flashed forward and appeared in front of him.
Chu Lingxiao jumped. “What are you doing!”
In a blink, Feng Zhongyu snatched the pill from his hand. “Turns out you’re not part of the Su family. You don’t get one.”
Chu Lingxiao’s face flushed red and pale in turns.
Would the Radiant Light Holy Land care about a few pills?
But having them reclaimed in front of everyone made them look cheap and petty.
Granny Yinhe frowned, shocked in her heart.
The other party was unbelievably fast—even she, a 7th stage Heavenly Pivot Realm expert, hadn’t reacted in time.
If he could steal a pill, he could snatch someone’s heart. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
Fortunately, he had no harmful intent.
“The Celestial Observatory of Grand Qian… truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers…”
Beside them, Lei Xingtian’s eyes lit up after hearing the conversation. “Engagement cancelled?”
He scanned the area—only one young lady was eligible for marriage.
Without hesitation, Lei Xingtian stepped forward. “Miss, if you think that man is unworthy, how about me?”
Chu Lingxiao immediately scowled. “What do you mean ‘that man’?”
“Fine, stinky man,” Lei Xingtian rolled his eyes at him and then put on his most charming smile. “Miss, I think we’d make a perfect pair. Don’t you agree?”
Su Moli was stunned by the sudden situation. She couldn’t even form a complete sentence. “Uh, uh… I…”
Chu Lingxiao’s face turned ashen, his eyes nearly spitting fire.
Why did they all say the same things!
What infuriated him even more was that someone else had picked up what he abandoned.
Even if he didn’t want it, no one else was allowed to take it!
Chu Lingxiao growled, “Hah, a flower vase stuck at the 3rd stage her whole life—you go ahead and marry her!”
Lei Xingtian paused. “Stuck at the 3rd stage forever?”
Su Moli was struck at her sore point but also intended to use that to reject him. She nodded sadly. “Yes.”
“Hah!” Lei Xingtian laughed instead. “Only 3rd stage? My eldest aunt is only at the 2nd stage, and my third aunt is also 3rd stage.”
“In Azure Soaring Holy Land, resources are plentiful—who can’t we support?”
“This young lady is a rare beauty, truly captivating.”
“Does cultivation even matter?”
Lei Xingtian was full of enthusiasm.
So what if he was attracted by her appearance?
A graceful lady is naturally sought by a gentleman!
Su Moli was the sunny and cheerful type—a lively girl loved by everyone. Even standing beside the number one beauty of the Heavenly Origin Realm, she didn’t pale in comparison. In fact, they complemented each other and enhanced one another.
“Hmph!” Chu Lingxiao’s face twisted—was this an indirect insult to the Radiant Light Holy Land?
If it were any other faction, he would’ve already attacked to defend his sect’s honor.
But the Azure Soaring Holy Land was no weaker than Radiant Light Holy Land.
He had no choice but to hold back.
“A 3rd stage failure—go ahead and marry her!” Chu Lingxiao flung out those words and turned to leave.
“The rat is gone,” Lei Xingtian said hopefully. “So, shall we…”
Su Moli bashfully declined, “Fellow Daoist, sorry, I have no plans to marry right now.”
Lei Xingtian looked disappointed. “Why not?”
“Because…” Su Moli’s expression suddenly changed, and her aura turned chaotic.
Xi Yaoyue hurriedly pulled Su Yun into her arms. “Moli, what’s happening…”
BOOM!
A powerful aura exploded from Su Moli’s body.
The overwhelming pressure even forced the experts in the room to retreat simultaneously.
Then, before everyone’s eyes, Su Moli’s cultivation realm suddenly surged.
