The Great Elder, somewhat anxious, sought out the Sect Leader to annul the engagement, thinking the Sect Leader would be furious. Unexpectedly, the Sect Leader accepted it calmly. After sending off the grateful and relieved Great Elder, the Sect Leader let out a long sigh.
The engagement with Chenfeng was initially arranged to give the ever-indifferent Chenfeng a sense of attachment and responsibility. And indeed, this purpose was achieved; though Chenfeng did not like Yang Shirui, he fulfilled the responsibilities of a fiancé.
But now, that attachment and responsibility are gone.
The Sect Leader’s heart felt heavy. He was truly afraid, afraid that the child would seek nothing and desire nothing, embarking on a path of no return...
The Sect Leader found Ye Chenfeng to tell him about the annulment. As expected, Ye Chenfeng showed no reaction and even said something that almost made the Sect Leader jump in anger: "You didn’t tell me when you arranged the engagement, so there’s no need to tell me about the annulment either. Just send someone to inform me when I’m available."
Time flew by.
After becoming an Outer Disciple, Jie Wenzhan did not slack off, diligently cultivating with limited resources and making rapid progress.
Yet, there was someone who frequently came to find him, and that was Yang Shirui.
Every time Yang Shirui came to Jie Wenzhan, she never came empty-handed.
She always brought Jie Wenzhan some elixirs, secret manuals, or even weapons.
Jie Wenzhan accepted them all without refusal. This made Yang Shirui even happier.
Their relationship grew closer; whenever Yang Shirui had something good, the first person she thought of was always Jie Wenzhan.
Jie Wenzhan also gave things to Yang Shirui.
Receiving gifts from Jie Wenzhan made Yang Shirui overjoyed.
"Interesting." Tianmiao looked at Jie Wenzhan in the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror and said with a smile.
"Huh? What’s interesting?" Yinglong squatted in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, scratching his head in confusion. He often came to use the mirror to check on Jie Wenzhan’s condition, "Are these two developing feelings over time? Oh, well, that would be interesting. Hahaha, this woman was once the fiancée of that ice block, although they annulled the engagement, maybe there’s still lingering affection? Do you think this curly-haired kid will fight with the ice block kid? If they really fight, that would be fascinating."
"You’re thinking too much." Tianmiao patted Yinglong’s horn, sighing that the feel wasn’t as good as Kong Hou’s dragon horn. Still, Kong Hou’s little dragon horn felt more comfortable.
"Huh? Then what’s going on?" Yinglong asked, puzzled.
"This human is simply repaying kindness with kindness." Dong Xiao explained from the side.
"Right, where do you see any developing feelings over time?" Kong Hou asked disdainfully.
"But, in human interactions like this, doesn’t that indicate some fondness?" Dong Xiao asked in confusion.
"That’s why it’s interesting." Tianmiao smiled, but did not elaborate further.
The three were puzzled, looking at each other in confusion, entering a state of wanting to ask but not daring to.
It wasn’t until a series of events happened later that Kong Hou and the others understood what Tianmiao meant by interesting.
As for Ye Chenfeng regarding the annulment with Yang Shirui, he indeed didn’t care. With no one coming to find him, he had more time to cultivate and lived more freely.
The Canglang Sect appeared calm on the surface.
Until an event shook the Cultivation World.
A massive whirlpool appeared at the center of the Tidal Sea, known as the Divine Sea, with abundant spiritual energy and occasional flashes of light from its depths. People combed through ancient records and calculated that a once-in-a-millennium Tidal Xuanmen should have appeared within the sea.
Whenever a powerful being ascends, their cultivation place would be temporarily hidden by celestial energy. At the right time, it would automatically open, forming a Mysterious Gate Secret Realm, waiting to be discovered by a destined person. Inside the secret realm lies the inheritance spiritual objects of the ascending powerful being, which would be immensely beneficial if one could obtain the inheritance.
