After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian
Chapter 1 Breaking off the Engagement
Gray clouds covered the sky above Liucheng.
It had been three or four days since the Golden Crow appeared, which made Liu Nanyu less patient than usual. He would rather have a sudden downpour or the sky clear up immediately than to see this horrible weather again.
"My dear nephew." Liu Nanyu took a sip of the spiritual tea, which contained a faint spiritual energy. After drinking it, his illness and pain disappeared instantly.
In the world of ordinary people, a thousand ounces of gold can't buy even one ounce of this. But he just felt that the tea leaves were ruined by the humid weather, so he put it down after taking a sip and never touched it again.
"My dear nephew Ye Chen." Liu Nanyu cleared his throat, raised his head, and tried to be as amiable as possible. "We have heard that your parents were unfortunately killed. Life is unpredictable, please accept my condolences."
"Yes, yes." On the left and right of Liu Nanyu sat a middle-aged man, both dressed as monks. Hearing this, he echoed, "We monks have always gone against the will of heaven. Your parents are like this, which is also the way for monks to return. You have to think about it."
"You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you. Don't let this delay your cultivation."
The young man's face was a little pale. He stood in the middle of the living room, lowered his head, and looked at his feet.
The ground was paved with green jade, smooth and spotless, except for a circle of mud under his feet.
Something had gone wrong in his practice, and now he was no different from an ordinary person, unable to do such simple things as keeping his feet clear of dust.
"I heard that something went wrong with your practice. How are you now?" Liu Nanyu asked with concern.
"Uncle, I haven't found a solution yet." The young man's voice was hoarse, but his pronunciation was clear, respectful and proud.
Upon hearing this, Liu Nanyu sighed.
There was a hint of genuine regret in his eyes: "Don't be discouraged, there will be a way."
If nothing had happened, he would have been a rare genius in a century, and a perfect match for Yinyin.
But since he had gotten into trouble, his parents had passed away, and the Ye family had kicked him out, Liu Nanyu felt that this engagement was not a good thing.
"We in the Liu family also have many skills. I'll take you to the library later. Maybe we can find a solution." Uncle Liu said.
"How can there be a solution? When his parents were still alive, they came to the Liu family and had already gone through the library. If there was a way, why would it be..." said Uncle Liu.
"Alas." Uncle Liu continued to sigh and looked at Ye Chen, "My dear nephew, don't panic. There is no way to save you in Liucheng, but there must be some other place. Your parents are gone, but the love we had in the past is still there."
As he spoke, he took out a storage bag and said, "There are two thousand spirit stones in it. They are a gift from your uncle. I wish you a bright future."
Ye Chen raised his head slowly.
Uncle Liu is very young, with a long face, peach blossom eyes, and long black hair that is meticulously groomed. He looks very noble.
But at this moment, he was troubled: "Oh no. Third Uncle forgot that you don't have any spiritual power now, so you can't open this storage bag. What should I do?"
On the side, Uncle Liu tilted his head and drank tea, as if he didn't hear it.
His future father-in-law had a blank expression on his face, as if he was unaware of his embarrassing situation.
"It's okay. I've prepared five thousand taels of silver notes." Finally, Liu Nanyu flipped his palm and took out a stack of silver notes from the storage ring. "Nephew Ye, everyone walks their own path. Your life is bumpy, but there may be a glimmer of hope."
"Go ahead." Liu Nanyu raised his hand slightly, and his spiritual power carried the banknote to Ye Chen and flew in front of him, and then went into his clothes. "If you have any difficulties, come to my house at any time."
Ye Chen raised his head and looked around at the three elders who were sitting there.
Liu Nanyu is righteous and compassionate.
Uncle Liu looked concerned and sad for him.
Uncle Liu frowned, not even trying to hide his impatience.
Ha ha.
A hint of self-mockery appeared on Ye Chen's lips.
How could he not understand that he was now an uninvited guest. His parents were gone, his cultivation was wasted, and the Ye family had kicked him out like a dog. He was now a lost dog, how could he be worthy of the Liu family's proud daughter?
He was naive, thinking that the Liu family might be different and would still treat him as before.
"Thank you for your teachings, uncle." It taught him what the true fickleness of the world is.
He casually pulled off the mutton-fat jade pendant worn around his waist.
This was the token of trust exchanged between the two families when they got engaged.
He expressed his opinion readily, and Liu Nanyu's expression became much kinder, and he also took out the jade pendant from the Ye family.
This was Ye Chen's mother's dowry, which she had happily taken out to betroth Ye Chen. Now that it was back in his hands, Ye Chen held it tightly, said nothing, and turned to walk out.
When he passed by the door, he stopped, took out a stack of banknotes from his chest, and placed them on the vase at the door: "Uncle's kindness, Ye Chen appreciates it."
He raised his foot again and strode out.
The back is proud and straight.
"Boom——"
A loud thunder roared from afar, exploding over the Liu family. Liu Nanyu let out a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup at hand, raised it halfway and put it down again: "It's finally going to rain."
Uncle Liu Wu stood up, still looking impatient: "I'm leaving."
"Let's go, let's go." Uncle Liu waved at him, and then said to the main seat: "This kid is sensible and didn't tear his face."
Liu Nanyu said, "He is a smart man." He waved his hand and called the servant over, "Send the banknote to Ye Chen."
Just the gold and silver of mortals.
Uncle Liu chuckled, stood up and left.
Liu Nanyu stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the rolling clouds, and murmured, "What a delay."
Are you going to go down or not? Hurry up.
The Liu family’s mansion is very large, located in the central area of the entire Liucheng, occupying one-third of the area.
When Ye Chen was halfway there, tiny raindrops began to fall from the sky, hitting his shoulder first.
He paused, glanced over his shoulder, then walked out slowly and unhurriedly. "Wait! Wait a minute!"
There were hurried footsteps behind him, but Ye Chen didn't look back. Soon, the servant's figure passed by and stopped in front of him.
"You, man, I'm calling you, why don't you wait a moment?" The servant complained, holding out his hand, "My master asked me to give it to you."
Ye Chen just took a glance and stepped forward.
"Hey!" The attendant was stunned for a moment, then ran up and said, "This is for you! Take it!"
Ye Chen acted as if he hadn't heard.
"Oh, you're quite stubborn!" The servant curled his lips and sneered, "If you were so stubborn, you shouldn't have come to our master to beg for mercy! Now you're pretending to be stubborn? Aren't you complaining about——"
The word "less" was stuck in my throat.
The young man turned his head, his eyes cold. The servant was startled, his heartbeat stopped for a moment when he was looked at by this, as if an ice blade pierced through his chest, leaving a big hole.
At this moment, he finally remembered that before this young man fell into poverty, he was a well-known genius, who was no less capable than their young lady, and even more outstanding.
His expression changed, the servant snorted heavily, turned and left.
Ye Chen looked at the servant's back, then slowly turned his gaze and scanned the surroundings of the courtyard. Finally, he retracted his gaze and walked slowly forward.
The thin figure gradually faded in the rain.

"What time is it?" In the exquisite and elegant boudoir, Shao Yin opened her eyes and looked at the maid in the room.
The maid poured her tea and replied, "In another moment, it will be noon."
There were tinkling sounds on the eaves and rain outside the house like a curtain. It was hard to tell the difference just by looking at the gray sky.
"How many days have I been meditating?" Shao Yin asked again.
The maid held the teacup in both hands, handed it to her respectfully, and replied, "Miss, you have been practicing for three days."
Three days ago, Shao Yin said that he wanted to practice, and he sat there for three days.
"Have there been any guests at home?" Shao Yin asked after blowing on the tea.
The Liu family is a large clan, with a constant stream of people coming and going every day. However, most of them are members of the Liu family.
Even so, there were still many guests. The maid's gentle voice counted the guests who had come to the mansion in the past few days.
"Has Ye Chen been here?" Shao Yin knew that her question was vague, so she immediately called out his name.
The maid paused, carefully observed her expression, and then whispered, "He was here this morning, and left half an hour ago."
Already here? Shao Yin was shocked and asked again: "Are you making noise?"
The maid shook her head.
Shao Yin was no longer worried and said, "Send some food."
She hasn't started the fasting yet, but she did take a few fasting pills before practicing. But now that she's done it, of course she still has to eat.
The maid responded, "Yes, Miss."
After a while, the delicious dishes were served like flowing water, filling the entire table.
The family has an Yuanying ancestor in charge, and their power is unrivaled in Liucheng. They have been practicing Taoism for generations, and the Liu family's financial accumulation is extremely rich.
Not to mention anything else, even the seasonings for cooking are grown in the spiritual fields and contain a faint spiritual power.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy this treatment. Although the Liu family is wealthy, they also have countless clansmen. "Liu Shaoyin" is the most talented person of the younger generation, and her father is the current head of the family, so she can enjoy these.
After finishing the meal slowly, Shao Yin drank a sip of spiritual tea to smoothen her mouth before standing up: "Give me an umbrella."
"Yes." replied the maid.
Shao Yin stood at the door, looking at the thick clouds, and asked, "When did the rain start?"
"It's just raining." The maid came back with the umbrella and opened it, saying, "Miss, where are you going?"
Shao Yin took the umbrella, smiled and said, "The wedding is over, I'm happy, let's go out for a walk."
"No need to follow."
He stepped out of the threshold, stepped on the splashing stone slabs, and walked out.
She came here three days ago.
It just so happened that my father was talking to my mother. It turned out that he had received news from the Ye family that Ye Chen might come over.
Ye Chen and Shao Yin were engaged, but that was before he went wrong in his cultivation. Now not only is he disabled, but his parents are also gone, so this marriage is definitely not going to happen.
Liu Nanyu was worried that Ye Chen would not cancel the engagement, and since they could not beat him to death, they could only humiliate him severely, making him so angry that he would cancel the engagement himself.
Tsk. Listen.
Of course, Shao Yin was in favor of canceling the engagement.
Ye Chen is not an ordinary young man. He is the protagonist in a male harem novel, the kind who can conquer the heavens and the earth, shatter the void, and ascend to heaven with his chickens and dogs.
But Shao Yin's role is not a member of his harem. Although she is beautiful, her role is the fiancée who despised, humiliated and deeply hurt Ye Chen when he was down and out.
Later, when he gained strength, he immediately took revenge, annihilated her entire family, and uprooted her sect.
She didn't die, but fled to the sect where her master arranged for her to be fiancé. Her second fiancé, handsome, strong, and protective, protected her behind his back. In the end, he was severely defeated by Ye Chen, and her Tao heart was broken, and she had no chance to become an immortal.
All the people close to him met a miserable end, all because of her. She went completely crazy, rushed to find him and fought desperately, but was fed a deadly poison by his confidante, and died screaming miserably.
