Chapter 56 No Divorce Allowed
In the venue, everyone's mouth hung open, their eyes brimming with disbelief.
"He, he, he... How is it possible? He actually knows the Cloud Sect's martial skill, Cloud Layering Eighteen Palms?!"
"Moreover, he's only at the peak of the fourth layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, yet the power of the Cloud Layering Eighteen Palms he used is even more formidable than Brother Qingyu's..."
Zhou Rong's words also came to an abrupt halt, her eyes wide open as she looked at the scene before her, her mind short-circuiting and unable to recover for a long while.
It wasn't just her.
Liu Qingyu's face was also filled with incredulity.
With his own prestigious status in the Meridian Opening Realm and being the pride of the Cloud Sect, he was actually defeated by a boy nine years his junior, a youngster at the peak of the fourth layer of the Condensed Truth Realm!
And the opponent used the very same martial skill as him, Cloud Layering Eighteen Palms!
This blow to his psyche was far more serious than the physical injuries he suffered!
He felt as if his young soul was being crushed under tons of weight at this moment!
Especially when he heard Qinchuan questioning who had pulled strings for him, allowing him to successfully join the Cloud Sect and become an official disciple, he felt an internal injury flare up, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before fainting.
"Hm?"
"A cultivator with a reputable Meridian Opening Cultivation Level, just faints like this? I haven't even used my full strength, and he's already passed out?"
Looking at the fainted Liu Qingyu, Qinchuan furrowed his brow even more and shook his head, saying, "The Cloud Sect is truly becoming more and more shameful, recruiting such people..."
"..."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, the people all around came back to their senses, and then their mouths twitched slightly.
Zhou Rong, still in a daze, glanced at the unconscious Liu Qingyu, her heart pounding furiously, her beautiful eyes still filled with disbelief.
She had originally thought that Qinchuan was nothing more than a small, down-and-out family's son from the remote Great Wilderness City, completely unworthy of her sister.
But she had never expected that Qinchuan would turn out to be so exceptionally talented!
Not only was he young, but he had also gathered an invincible aura, and even comprehended the intent of invincibility!
And now, with the cultivation level of the peak of the fourth layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, he used the same martial skill to defeat the Cloud Sect's genius disciple, Liu Qingyu!
How frightening a talent, how terrifying a potential, how powerful a strength was that?!
He was simply a dragon among men!
Such a person would be highly sought after wherever he went.
And their Zhou Family actually looked down on him, wanting to cancel the engagement?
She herself had previously insisted that Qinchuan was unworthy of her sister, not even deserving to discuss dissolving the engagement?
Standing in the venue of the Great Wilderness City's annual celebration, under the attention of thousands,
Zhou Rong, now coming to her senses, only felt her face burning with shame, utterly mortified.
Qinchuan's gaze fell on Zhou Rong, looking at the divorce document she had previously taken out, and said, "Alright, bring over the divorce document your Zhou Family has prepared. I'll sign it now so we can stop wasting time."
At Qinchuan's words, Zhou Rong's face turned pale.
She stared blankly at the divorce document in her hands, then in a sudden move that left everyone dumbstruck, she tore up the previously prepared divorce document into shreds!
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing her tear up the divorce document, Qinchuan immediately shouted in response.
Zhou Rong shredded the document, then with a sudden sweep of her hands, scraps of paper flew all over the Martial Combat Platform: "We can't divorce, I won't allow you to divorce!" Discover more content at empire
She came here explicitly to dissolve her sister's engagement.
Now, with Qinchuan agreeing to the divorce, it should have been more than good news.
As long as she handed over this document to Qinchuan to get his signature, her mission here would be completely finished.
Her own sister would no longer have to worry about this marriage contract, no longer having to marry Qinchuan.
But now, under the watchful eyes of the public, she tore up the annulment letter.
Even she did not know why she did such a thing.
It was just intuition telling her that she could not annul this marriage.
Perhaps, it was because she saw the terrifying talent and potential that Qinchuan had displayed, as well as his strength!
"I don't agree to your annulment, my sister won't agree to your annulment, and my Zhou Family won't agree to your annulment!"
"In another half a year, on my sister's eighteenth birthday, according to the marriage contract, she will be wed to you."
"Qinchuan, we won't annul this marriage, is that okay?"
Zhou Rong's tone suddenly softened as she spoke to Qinchuan, between her words there seemed even to be a hint of pleading.
Qinchuan furrowed his brows and coldly said to Zhou Rong, "It was you who came to annul the marriage, and now it is you changing your mind again. Such fickleness shows your poor character!"
"I will not agree to this marriage, nor will I marry your sister!"
"However, considering that our families have been friends for generations, I will stand by what I said earlier. If she wishes, I can allow her to stay by my side, as a maid or servant."
As an Asura Emperor, what kind of woman couldn't he get?
Even when the most beautiful goddess of the Divine Realm offered herself to him, he remained unmoved.
No matter how many lifetimes reincarnated.
That foolish woman was his only true love, the only woman he wanted to marry.
Having said that, Qinchuan no longer looked at Zhou Rong and turned to walk straight down from the Martial Combat Platform.
Leaving only Zhou Rong with a pale face.
"Qinchuan!"
"Must you be so heartless? My sister has an unparalleled immortal beauty, a city-toppling appearance, countless admirers, and equally unmatched talents. If you insist on this annulment, you will regret it!"
After Qinchuan walked down from the Martial Combat Platform, Zhou Rong suddenly shouted at him.
"Regret?"
Qinchuan smiled but didn't turn back, his mind filled with the memory of the foolish woman perishing in his arms years ago.
In this world, aside from that foolish woman, who else could make him, the grand Asura Emperor, feel regret?
The Zhou Family's eldest miss?
Who is she?
Seeing Qinchuan walking away without looking back, Zhou Rong collapsed to the ground, powerless.
The crowd around the venue had complex expressions on their faces.
They had not anticipated Qinchuan's talent, potential, and strength to be so high.
Even Zhou Rong, who initially came to annul the marriage, suddenly changed her mind, tearing up the annulment letter herself, even begging Qinchuan not to annul it.
From Zhou Rong's change of attitude before and after, a lot could be discerned.
Even a great family like the Zhou Family was now asking Qinchuan not to annul the marriage.
After a series of events, this year's festival celebration had lost its usual flavor and naturally could not continue as before, ending abruptly.
When leaving the venue.
Heads of the various families of Great Wilderness City came up to exchange pleasantries and congratulate the Qin Family on their victory over the Zhao Family.
At the same time, many seized the opportunity to promote the pearls of their clans, hoping to betroth them to Qinchuan.
Lin Buyu naturally came as well.
But when everyone mentioned this matter, they were naturally and gracefully refused by Qinchuan, causing the families present to sigh in disappointment, and many young ladies were left dejected...
