Chapter 2

Seeing the fierce light in Chen Chang'an's eyes, Liu Sisi felt as if she were being watched by a world-class ferocious beast, making her heart tremble with fear, and she couldn't help but hide behind Gu Qincheng.

The once notorious name of the first demon of the Great Zhou Dynasty... although it was just in the past, it still intimidated her.

But she soon remembered: "He is now just a waste, why should I still be afraid of him? How ridiculous!"

Gu Qincheng's face was extremely grim. She tightly gripped the blue-glowing sword in her hand, which emitted a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation, making it hard for her to let go.

"Chen Chang'an, how can you be so shameless?

The things you gave me, you want to take back?

What did you say back then? You said you would love me for life!

You said you would never make me sad, never let me suffer any委屈!

Look at what you've done now!"

Gu Qincheng roared with a face full of委屈.

She couldn't bear to return the gifts Chen Chang'an had given her, after all, they were the most precious treasures.

Especially the Snow Maiden Sword, which was crucial for the academy competition in half a month.

That was the only way to enter the holy land, and she couldn't do without the help of this Heaven-grade Snow Maiden Sword!

A Heaven-grade weapon, even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, was something that could make the old ancestors at the Heaven King realm drool.

"Ha ha..."

Chen Chang'an revealed a slight cold smile, "Didn't you say you wanted nothing to do with me?

Those things are all mine, they have the Chen family's mark on them."

Chen Chang'an continued, his eyes narrowing, his voice icy, "I'm not joking with you, nor am I negotiating!

If you don't return them, from now on, your Gu family will be the mortal enemy of my Chen family, until one of us is dead!"

Boom—

As soon as his words were spoken, the people around him were instantly in an uproar.

They all looked at Chen Chang'an in shock.

"Heaven, is this still the Chen family's young master who, a year ago, would even be afraid to speak loudly to Gu Qincheng for fear of scaring her?"

"Tsk tsk, the current Chen Shao is really domineering, until death do us part? Let's see if her Gu family dares to stand up to the Chen family."

"Does her Gu family even deserve it? The Chen family is a top-tier clan, with its strength on display!"

"But since they are going to dissolve the engagement, it's reasonable to return the gifts, right?

I didn't expect Gu Qincheng to want to receive without giving, what kind of face does she have?"

...

Faced with the mocking words of the people around her, Gu Qincheng's face became even uglier.

Her pupils trembled rapidly, and the hand holding the Snow Maiden Sword turned slightly pale.

"Ha ha, Chen Chang'an, you are now a person with no cultivation, you probably can't even protect yourself!

Do you think you can still be the Chen family's young master?

Can you still represent the Chen family? It's a huge joke!"

Since the face had already been torn, Gu Qincheng didn't care about her dignity and sneered.

In her view, Chen Chang'an, who had no cultivation, would definitely be stripped of his position as the young master by his family.

And there would be countless clan members who would try to harm his life, both openly and secretly!

In Chang'an City, and even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, conflicts over the position of the young master of a clan were common.

"The words of the young master are the attitude of our Chen family!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, making Gu Qincheng's body tremble.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, imposing middle-aged man walking over.

As he arrived, dozens of excited young men followed.

They came to Chen Chang'an's front, bent their waists, and bowed respectfully.

"Salute the young master!"

"Salute the young master!"

...

The loud shouts and the excited faces of these people were genuine, creating a shocking momentum that reverberated in all directions.

The countless onlookers around them stepped back, their faces showing shock.

Chen Chang'an's lips curled into a smile, looking at the newcomer and bowing respectfully, "Greetings, Ninth Uncle."

The newcomer was one of the nine clan elders of the Chen family, Chen Ninth Uncle.

"Ha ha ha ha, Chang'an, you're finally back!

Great, I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"

Ninth Uncle waved his fist, his face excited, "By the way, where the hell have you been for a year? What happened?"

Chen Chang'an smiled, "Ninth Uncle, it's a long story, let's talk about it when we get back."

"Ha ha ha ha, good! Good! Good!"

Ninth Uncle said three "goods" in a row, then turned to look at Gu Qincheng, whose face was grim, and spoke sternly,

"Little girl, since you want to dissolve the engagement with our young master, you must return all the spiritual treasures he gave you!

This is what I, Chen Ninth, say. What, are you不服?"

Ninth Uncle's momentum was extremely terrifying, his fierce gaze making Gu Qincheng stagger, her face turning deathly pale.

"Hmph, a top-tier clan elder of the Chen family, a Heaven King realm powerhouse, do you only know how to bully little girls?"

At this moment, another middle-aged woman walked over, her phoenix eyes slightly slanted, her face filled with a fierce aura.

"Master!"

Seeing this person, Gu Qincheng seemed to have found her backbone and immediately stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"Mom."

Liu Sisi also walked over, the pressure from Chen Ninth Uncle suddenly reduced.

The newcomer was Liu Rumei, Liu Sisi's mother, and Gu Qincheng's master.

Seeing this person, Chen Ninth Uncle was not at all polite, sneering, "No wonder Gu Qincheng has such a face, wanting to receive without giving!

It turns out someone taught her, tsk tsk, really broadening my horizons!"

"Watch your mouth!"

Liu Rumei glared at Chen Ninth, her face filled with anger.

"Get lost, this has nothing to do with you!" Chen Ninth roared, not at all polite, then turned to look at Gu Qincheng, his eyes filled with malice, "Will you return the things of our young master or not?

If you still refuse with that face, I'll go back and bring the entire Chen family to declare war on your Gu family immediately!"

Boom—

His words were like a thunderbolt, making everyone's minds buzz, unable to recover for a long time.

Chen Chang'an's words of "until death do us part" were not very powerful, but Chen Ninth Uncle was definitely not someone to be ignored!

"Heaven, no wonder he's the Ninth Uncle of the Chen family, what a bad temper."

"Tsk tsk, his fiery temper and killing intent are well-known! Even the emperor has to give him some leeway."

"Who would have thought that the first beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be so shameless!

Wanting to dissolve the engagement, but not wanting to return the gifts given with the intention of marriage!"

"Yes, she may look good, but her heart... is really too black."

"Exactly, she now despises Chen Shao for losing his cultivation, probably wanting to attach herself to some young master of the holy land?

But she can't bear to part with the gifts Chen Shao gave, tsk tsk... what a mentality? So annoying!"

...

The people around them pointed and commented, their words flying.

Gu Qincheng's face became even uglier, as if she had eaten a big lump of flies.

This was completely beyond her expectations.

If it were a year ago, Chen Chang'an would have begged her not to leave, and would have continuously given her more gifts to win her favor.

But she didn't expect... he had changed!

"Hmph, men are all the same, each one is so fickle!

They said such sweet things back then, but now they're like this!"

Gu Qincheng thought angrily, her face showing weakness, helplessness, and tears welling up in her eyes.

But this appearance did not evoke sympathy from the people around her; instead, it was mostly mocking.

"Heaven, did you see? She's actually feeling wronged?"

"Man, although her current crying face is indeed pitiful, her previous cold-hearted attitude makes me feel sick just thinking about it!"

"Damn, so dramatic, acting so wronged, as if Chen Shao is bullying her."

"Right, Chen Shao said, if you want to dissolve the engagement, just return all the spiritual treasures, how simple is that?"

"Maybe she wants to have it both ways..."

...

The words of the people around her pierced her heart, making Gu Qincheng wish she could find a crack to hide in.

She steeled her heart and threw the Snow Maiden Sword in her hand to Chen Chang'an.
