Turn Waste Into Treasure: Pick Up Medusa In Suspended Animation At The Beginning
Chapter 46 Interesting, Still Caught Up With The Divorce Plot?
"My nephew, Nalan Shijie, has come uninvited. Please forgive me, Uncle Murong and Grandfather Murong."
As these words were spoken, a young man in blue attire, accompanied by an elderly man, entered the hall as if they were in a deserted place, immediately capturing everyone's attention.
Of course, what Xiao Chen felt more was displeasure.
He was about to handle important matters when suddenly these two individuals barged in, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not stop them.
It was truly disappointing.
However, with the appearance of outsiders, he could only pause for now and see what the situation was.
As this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen stood up and sat back down, then picked up his teacup and continued to savor the tea.
"Nalan Shijie?"
Upon seeing the young man before him, Murong Fu's face showed a hint of confusion.
This name seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Immediately after, he seemed to recall something and smiled in surprise.
"So, it's Nalan nephew. I didn't expect you to have grown up like this. It's been ten years since we last met."
After some contemplation, Murong Fu finally remembered.
This person was his closest friend, Nalan Xiong's son, Nalan Shijie, and he was also engaged to Murong Qingxue.
But this person...
Had only visited the Murong family ten years ago and had made a marriage agreement with Murong Qingxue.
Afterward, he was discovered to have a high-grade talent in martial arts at the Heavenly Stage level and was directly accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
He had spent these years within the Taiyi Sword Sect, and even Murong Fu had not seen him again.
Unexpectedly, after ten years, this kid actually came to the Murong family without saying a word?
Could it be that there was something important?
As his thoughts turned, Murong Fu's smile gradually disappeared as if he had thought of something.
"Nephew, you have been cultivating in seclusion within the Taiyi Sword Sect all these years. Only recently, after breaking through to the Spiritual Aperture Realm, did you have the time to come down the mountain."
Upon hearing Murong Fu's words, Nalan Shijie's voice was calm, and a trace of pride appeared on his face.
At the age of eighteen, he broke through to the first level of the Spiritual Aperture realm, looking at the younger generation of the entire Daqian Empire. Apart from the monstrous geniuses of the top forces, who else could compete with this young master?
"Hiss... Breakthrough to the Spiritual Aperture realm?!"
Muran Fu and Muran Bo both showed shocked expressions upon hearing this.
Back in the day, even Muran Bo, who had a talent of low-grade Heavenly Rank, only broke through to the Spiritual Aperture realm after the age of nineteen.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Shijie had stepped into this realm at the age of eighteen.
If he diligently cultivates, he will undoubtedly break through to the Universal Truth Realm in the future, and may even reach the Celestial Realm!
The Nalan family has produced a monstrous genius.
"Muran Uncle, I wonder where Muran Qingxue... my fiancée, is now?"
Just as Muran Fu and Muran Bo were shocked, Nalan Shijie glanced around the hall.
Finally, his gaze fell on Cailin, and a hint of astonishment appeared on his face, followed by a trace of doubt.
"Could it be... this is Qingxue?"
According to the information he knew, Muran Qingxue seemed to be afflicted with an unknown illness.
Not only did she have red spots on her face, but she was also covered in red hair.
How could there be such a hot and extraordinary woman in the Muran family?
Could it be... her hidden illness has been cured?!
"This is a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion..."
Seeing Nalan Shijie staring at Cailin, Muran Fu replied in a somewhat low voice.
But before he could finish speaking, Cailin suddenly raised her head indifferently.
"If you continue to look at this king with such lewd eyes, this king doesn't mind digging out your eyes!"
The icy words echoed in the hall.
Nalan Shijie's mind buzzed, and he almost fell to the ground.
Daring to interrupt the young master's business and daring to look at her with such eyes.
This human ant is truly seeking death!
"Hiss... Universal Truth Realm expert?!"
The gray-robed old man standing beside Nalan Shijie felt the aura emanating from Cailin.
He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he could only stare at her with a face full of vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy.
Although he is the second elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect, his cultivation is only at the eighth stage of the Nirvana Realm, which is much weaker than the Universal Truth Realm experts.
"Ahem..."
Seeing Cailin suddenly lose her temper, Xiao Chen couldn't help but cough.
Although he was still somewhat unclear about the situation, from the conversation between these people and the incident involving Murong Qingxue, he could more or less guess what was going on.
Isn't this a classic plot of breaking off an engagement?
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a cliché situation during his visit to the Murong family.
However, being able to witness a classic scene from the perspective of a third party did give him a different feeling.
After hearing Xiao Chen's cough, Cailin also restrained the killing intent emanating from her body.
She just glanced indifferently at the two people and continued to play with her enchanting fingers.
"Since Lord Murong has an old acquaintance visiting, let's temporarily put our matters aside."
"After you have dealt with your affairs, we can continue with what we were discussing earlier."
As the atmosphere in the hall became silent, Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and calmly spoke.
After speaking, Xiao Chen didn't bother to look at Nalan Shijie and continued to enjoy his tea.
Upon seeing this scene, Nalan Shijie's originally handsome face became particularly gloomy.
Who is this guy?
Not only is his demeanor more extraordinary than the young master of the Taiyi Sword Sect, but he also has such a beautiful woman accompanying him, who is also a Universal Truth Realm expert.
In comparison, the old man by his side appears much inferior.
He didn't expect that he would be suppressed by someone of the same generation before he could even fully display his momentum by coming here to break off the engagement.
He really is pathetic!
"Nalan nephew, Qingxue is resting in the side room due to her illness. Why don't you wait in the back hall for now? After I finish dealing with my affairs, we can have a drink and catch up..."
Upon hearing Xiao Chen asking him to deal with his affairs first, Murong Fu looked at Nalan Shijie and spoke with a somewhat low voice.
"No need!"
Before Murong Fu could finish speaking, Nalan Shijie interrupted him with a cold snort.
"In fact, my nephew is not here for catching up, but to break off the engagement!"
Boom!
Upon hearing Nalan Shijie's words, even though Murong Fu had some suspicions, his mind still seemed to be ringing.
"Is this your decision?"
"Or is it your father... Nalan Xiong's decision?!"
In front of others, with a junior saying that he wants to break off the engagement, Murong Fu's face turned extremely ugly, suppressing the anger in his heart as he asked.
He and Nalan Xiong were close friends.
Although they had grown somewhat distant in recent years, he still remembered this friendship in his heart.
After all, back then, in the third year after Murong Bo's accident, the situation in the City Lord's Mansion was somewhat unstable.
It was Nalan Xiong's suggestion to have Murong Qingxue and Nalan Shijie engaged, in order to announce the alliance between the two families to outsiders and stabilize the position of the Murong family.
If, in these years, Nalan's family wanted to retract the engagement due to Murong Qingxue's accident, it should have been Nalan Xiong who came personally and privately to dissolve the engagement.
Instead, they sent a junior with senior members of the sect to break off the engagement, and did so in front of outsiders without giving any face.
This was like humiliating the Murong family.
"This is my own decision!"
Nalan Shijie also disdained distorting the truth and straightforwardly admitted at this moment.
"This marriage was arranged by your two elders when we were still young."
"I didn't care much about it in these years, but now there are rumors outside that Murong Qingxue is afflicted with an unknown illness and has become a half-human, half-ghost creature."
"As the young master of the Taiyi Sword Sect, how can I marry a freak covered in red hair..."
"Shut up!"
Nalan Shijie mercilessly stated his reasons, like a sharp knife piercing Murong Fu's heart.
This immediately made the latter unable to hold back his anger and roar.
Murong Bo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, turned pale with anger, and began to cough incessantly.
Even at this moment.
As Murong Fu's angry voice fell, a sound came from a corner outside the hall, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
