Ziwei Sacred Land is the oldest and most powerful sect in the Southern Heaven Domain. From ancient times to the present, countless Quasi-God Realm beings have been born there.
Even the direct descendants of the Divine Spirit Family wish they could enter Ziwei Sacred Land for cultivation.
However, the discipleship standards of Ziwei Sacred Land are exceptionally high. If you do not meet the standards, even if you are a direct descendant of the Divine Spirit Family, it is of no use. Ziwei Sacred Land will certainly not make an exception for you.
Therefore, those who become disciples of Ziwei Sacred Land are rare talents without exception.
Such people can hardly be found across the entire Cang Province.
"Miss, Young Master Jiang Xuan has sent gifts again." At this moment, deep within Ziwei Sacred Land, in an ancient-style room, a young girl dressed in black spoke with excitement.
This girl in black was precisely the mysterious woman who had previously protected Ye Chen.
Now, her black veil had been removed, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.
Even Ye Lin'Er seemed overshadowed in front of such peerless beauty.
"Zhu'er, return the gifts." Beside the girl in black, a tall woman said faintly, her voice as melodious as heavenly music, captivating anyone who heard it.
This woman appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She wore a green haze robe, her skin as white as snow and flawless like jade, her features exquisitely refined to the extreme, akin to a perfect work of art.
If the girl in black was considered a human beauty.
Then the woman in green attire before them was a Nine Heavens Profound Lady, untouchable by the mundane world, possessing an innately noble aura that left one without the slightest thought of desecration.
She was Ye Chen's fiancée, Shangguan Zitong.
"Miss, this is the Top Grade Treasure Medicine, Cyan Wood Immortal Ganoderma, which greatly aids your Cyan Dragon Bloodline. To return it just like that is truly a pity." The girl in black sighed.
Cyan Wood Immortal Ganoderma is an extraordinarily rare Top Grade Treasure Medicine, its value immeasurable.
Even a Golden Core Realm expert may not be able to purchase it.
However, Ziwei Sacred Land's prodigy, Jiang Xuan, to pursue her miss, was willing to gift such a precious treasure to her.
Such an act truly demonstrated a rare sincerity.
Yet her miss consistently refused to accept Jiang Xuan's gifts.
"Zhu'er, just return it as I instructed and stop talking." Shangguan Zitong slightly frowned.
"Yes, miss." Despite the deep reluctance in her heart, the girl in black had no choice but to place the Cyan Wood Immortal Ganoderma back into the jade box.
"Zitong, why did you refuse Young Master Jiang Xuan's gift again! Is it because of that useless coward, Ye Chen?" Just then, a splendidly dressed noblewoman suddenly walked into Shangguan Zitong's room, expressing her anger.
"Mother, after all, I have an engagement with Ye Chen, so I can't accept other men's kindness, otherwise it would be betraying Ye Chen, which I simply cannot do." Shangguan Zitong said, her eyes unwaveringly firm.
"Zitong, you're so foolish! Ye Chen is no longer the Ye Clan young master he once was. Now, he can't even awaken his bloodline, practically no different from trash. How can he still be worthy of you! I advise you to break off relations with him as soon as possible, otherwise, you'll only be dragged down by this coward for a lifetime." The noblewoman said with utmost distress.
Her name was Situ Hong, and she was Shangguan Zitong's mother.
A few years ago, the Shangguan Clan was ambushed by the rival Tuoba Clan, with the entire family nearly exterminated.
Only Shangguan Zitong and her parents narrowly escaped the calamity.
Since then, avenging the Shangguan Clan's members became the driving force for Shangguan Zitong and her parents to keep living.
Because of this, Shangguan Zitong's parents have always hoped that she would find a talented young genius from a prominent family as a partner.
This way, they would be a step closer to destroying the Tuoba Clan.
However, Shangguan Zitong has never been willing to do so.
Because she already had an engagement with Ye Chen, betraying him would unsettle her conscience.
"Indeed, Miss, I also think that the madam is quite right. Ye Chen is no longer in the same world as you! He cannot awaken his bloodline, and he's being hunted by strong members of the Ye Clan. If you marry him, you'll be dragged down for life! Instead, why not choose Young Master Jiang Xuan, whose talent and background far surpass Ye Chen's by thousands of times." The girl in black, Zhu'er, couldn't help but persuade Shangguan Zitong.
In fact, she really hoped that Shangguan Zitong would give up on Ye Chen.
Because Ye Chen, this useless coward, truly didn't deserve her miss.
Her miss was only one or two years older than Ye Chen, yet her cultivation had already reached the Profound Pill Realm.
And Ye Chen?
Still only a mere ant in the Celestial Spirit Realm, not yet having reached the Divine Mansion Realm in cultivation.
This kind of wastrel, what could he offer to make her miss happy?
If it were her, she would've already broken the engagement with Ye Chen, otherwise, in the end, it would only lead to regret.
People, sometimes, must be a bit realistic.
Otherwise, there will come a day when they may regret it.
"Zhu'er, shut your mouth." Shangguan Zitong couldn't help but frown tightly, reprimanding the girl in black.
After all, Ye Chen was her fiancé.
Therefore, she absolutely couldn't tolerate her maid belittling him like this.
"Zitong! If you keep being so stubborn, one day you'll harm yourself. Mother is only thinking about your future! Listen to mother and accept Young Master Jiang Xuan's gift! He's not only a candidate for Saint Son of Ziwei Sacred Land, but also a direct descendant of the Jiang Clan from the Divine Spirit Family. If you marry him, you'll surely enjoy every honor! As for that coward Ye Chen, quickly find him to annul the engagement, this useless wastrel will only tarnish your reputation." Shangguan Zitong's mother, Situ Hong, said coldly, with the utmost disdain in her expression.
Initially, she held some hope for Ye Chen, her future son-in-law.
After all, Ye Chen's parents were famous prodigies in the Southern Heaven Domain, and as their son, Ye Chen shouldn't be too lacking.
However, upon learning from the girl in black that Ye Chen is an incapable wastrel who can't even awaken his bloodline, and hasn't even reached the Divine Mansion Realm in cultivation, her hopes completely shattered.
Such a wastrel, daring to wed her daughter, was truly an overambitious frog wishing to eat swan meat, overestimating his own abilities to an extreme.
Therefore, her greatest wish now was for her daughter to find Ye Chen and annul their engagement.
"Zhu'er, where is Ye Chen now, I want to see him." Shangguan Zitong furrowed her brows tightly and spoke to the girl in black.
