Chapter 244: Coming to Break the Engagement

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Coming to Break the Engagement

After Qin Tianxuan left the garden restaurant, Jin City was in an uproar.

Another piece of shocking news spread.

Governor Ling Du Zhi, who had just taken office, was abruptly transferred away!

What in the world was going on?

The various factions scrambled to gather information, and they eventually came to a conclusion.

"That Ling Du Zhi came from the Northern Domain Battle Department, but Grand Commander Luo Qilin is from the Southern Domain Battle Department. Get it?"

"That means Grand Commander Luo Qilin is the more powerful one. Ling Du Zhi was chased out before his seat was even warm!"

"So it’s obvious which side is stronger, isn’t it?"

These people were all opportunists.

They hadn’t known whether to side with the Night Emperor of the Northern Domain Battle Department or Luo Qilin of the Southern Domain, but now the choice was clear.

And so, the leaders of the various factions immediately sent their subordinates to the Xingtian Martial Arts Arena to deliver gifts!

At that moment, the disgraced members of the Liu Family found Liu Huaxia at the Martial Arts Arena.

"What? My brother was captured by those people? Are you sure it was the Northern Domain Battle Department?"

"Huaxia, the Liu Family is on the verge of collapse! We can only rely on you now!"

Speaking of Liu Daoban, the Liu family patriarch wiped away tears. "I know you and Liu Daoban were the closest, Huaxia. I had no choice but to hand him over!"

"Say no more. I’ll report to Commander Luo at once and lead a team back to Jin City!"

As the Chief Instructor of the Martial Arts Arena, Liu Huaxia was deeply trusted by Luo Qilin. The moment he reported the matter, Luo Qilin flew into a rage. "Those people from the Northern Domain Battle Department know full well I am here, yet they still resort to these petty tricks. Take the Qilin Guard to Jin City immediately. I don’t care who it is—kill them on sight!"

Luo Qilin’s ego had spiraled out of control.

Not only did he have the full support of the Daqin Royal Family and the Divine Doctor Ye Family from the Imperial Capital, but even certain high-ranking figures from the Heaven-Reaching Hall had secretly called him. They urged him to teach that Night Emperor a harsh lesson.

On top of that, representatives from every faction in Jin City had sent him gifts.

What an incredible display of power and glory!

His ego inflated to its absolute peak, Luo Qilin had now directly issued an order to kill on sight!

He wanted to start a war!

He would teach the so-called Night Emperor a bloody lesson: times had changed, and an old relic was still just an old relic.

Meanwhile, Wutian, who was in Jin City, immediately detected the activity at the Xingtian Martial Arts Arena.

He went to see Qin Tianxuan at once.

Qin Tianxuan was about to head to the Ding Family’s residence. Seeing Wutian, he asked, "Have the people from the Celestial Medicine Hall arrived yet? I asked Lingsu to send someone to check on Ah Xue’s condition."

Wutian replied hastily, "Lingsu is coming personally. And it seems Madam Weiwei and Miss Niannian are coming with her!"

"Oh?"

Qin Tianxuan thought for a moment. "In Jin City, arrange a villa for Weiwei and Niannian under the Celestial Brocade Financial Group’s name. It’s summer vacation, so it’s a good chance for Niannian to get out and have some fun."

Wutian immediately went to make the arrangements. Then, he lowered his voice and reported that Liu Huaxia was heading to Jin City from the Martial Arts Arena with the Qilin Guard.

"’Kill on sight?’" A glint flashed in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. "Luo Qilin has lost his mind. Challenging me to a duel already violated the Battle Department’s rules. And now he dares to order the killing of our own comrades!"

A corner of Wutian’s mouth curved up. "Then, Sir, how do you think we should handle this?"

"They’re coming to our doorstep to kill us. What do you think?" Qin Tianxuan casually raised his hand and made a gesture. "Make it clean. Deal with all of them. And send one of Liu Huaxia’s hands to Luo Qilin’s dinner table."

Everyone in the Northern Domain Battle Department, from top to bottom, had long been fed up with Luo Qilin.

This was especially true for War Venerable Wutian. He thought it was ridiculous that his sir had even agreed to a duel with Luo Qilin in the first place.

’Luo Qilin is just a wet-behind-the-ears punk. Could he possibly be stronger than the Celestial Demon King? What a joke.’

Wutian was confident that he could cripple Luo Qilin on the spot if he made a move himself.

’Good. Luo Qilin’s string of idiotic actions has finally infuriated the Night Emperor. Now we can finally let loose.’

Wutian turned and gave a direct order to his Personal Guard, "Bring just three men—your best fighters. Head to the crossroads north of the Martial Arts Arena immediately. We’re going to pay a visit to this Liu Huaxia!"

A bright glint flashed as a military spike appeared in Wutian’s hand. Radiating killing intent, he departed with a sinister grin.

Qin Tianxuan checked the time. It wasn’t too late, so he hailed a cab and went to the Ding Family’s estate in Jin City.

The Sun Family, who had adopted Ah Xue, had promised her to the Ding Family’s idiotic son in exchange for a five-million bride price.

And the Ding Family were no pushovers.

The patriarch of the Ding Clan had built his fortune from nothing. He started by selling live pigs from a remote region and eventually settled in Jin City, where he founded a famous northern livestock company. The family’s assets were now in the billions.

The current head of the Ding Clan was a man named Ding Shaoyang. He was a capable businessman with a happy family. His only regret was that his only son had suffered a head injury that left him mentally disabled.

This was Ding Shaoyang’s greatest source of grief.

He had consulted countless mystics and fortune-tellers, and in the end, they had selected the Sun Family’s adopted daughter, Xia Xueqing, for a "luck-bringing" marriage.

According to the mystic, although Xia Xueqing was unloved by the Sun Family, her fate was one of unparalleled wealth and fortune.

If she married into the Ding Family, she was guaranteed to bring his son good luck.

Furthermore, Xia Xueqing was destined for both wealth and fertility. For the billion-dollar Ding Family, this also meant she could produce several more heirs.

Qin Tianxuan’s arrival took Ding Shaoyang, who had been resting, by surprise.

"Xia Xueqing’s brother? Is that for real? Call the Sun Family and ask them what’s going on."

"President Ding, we’ve got the details. He’s apparently Xia Xueqing’s brother from back when she lived in the mountains. The Sun Family claims he’s a scoundrel who was trying to extort them. They also said he took Xia Xueqing with him. We don’t know why he’s here."

Ding Shaoyang’s eyelids drooped. "Heh. The Sun Family may not have money, but I, Ding Shaoyang, certainly do. So he’s come to us for a payday. Fine. Let him in."

Qin Tianxuan walked in.

Ding Shaoyang sized him up and said coldly, "If you’re Xia Xueqing’s brother, then we’re future in-laws. But you come to visit me without even bringing a gift?"

Qin Tianxuan replied coolly, "It’s not necessary."

Ding Shaoyang slammed his hand on the table. "What’s that supposed to mean?"

Qin Tianxuan took a step forward, his voice perfectly calm. "We won’t have any relationship in the future. I’m here to cancel the engagement."
