Chapter 9: Ancient RUins
"Don't worry about it. You want to cancel the engagement, and I have already agreed," Su Zhan said, his gaze falling on Su Chengyun. He continued calmly, "Now that you have gotten what you wanted, what is there left to consider?"
"I" Su Chengyun's face turned bitter.
Who was the bastard that said Su Zhan was useless?
At sixteen years old, in the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm, with mastery of multiple martial arts If he was useless, then were there any geniuses in this world???
Su Chengyun felt extremely frustrated and wanted to grab those who spread rumors about Su Zhan being useless and beat them to death!
If it wasn't for these fools, how could he have come to cancel the engagement?
If he didn't cancel the engagement, with Su Zhan's unparalleled talent, he would surely lead the Su family of Tang City to soar into the sky. It was not impossible to become one of the strongest families in Xia country!
But now, he had actually come to cancel the engagement with such a genius
Su Chengyun regretted his decision so much that his guts turned green, and he quickly tried to remedy the situation, saying, "Su Zhan, my young friend, it was my momentary confusion. I believed the rumors spread by those people outside! Today, I saw you and realized that you are not the useless person they described. You are truly a peerless genius!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Chengyun pulled Su Zhaoyue, who was still in a daze, forward and said with a smile, "It just so happens that my granddaughter is also a heavenly beauty, and the two of you are a match made in heaven! You are perfect for each other!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elders who followed the Su family of Tang City also spoke up.
"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Su Zhan is a talented person, and Miss Zhaoyue is pure and beautiful. The two of them are very compatible!"
"I never expected that Young Master Su Zhan was the brave youth who helped us on the deserted mountain. The Su family is grateful to Young Master Su Zhan. Since we have this opportunity, let's become in-laws! Our Tang City Su family will definitely prepare a very grand dowry!"
"Young Master Su Zhan is a stunning talent, and only Miss Zhaoyue is worthy of him!"
Complimentary words were spoken one after another.
The elders of the Azure City Su family, including Su Tianhai, were somewhat dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Just now, the people of the Tang City Su family were still arrogant and domineering, but after Su Zhan appeared, they actually nodded and bowed, trying to please him? Didn't their attitude change too quickly??
Listening to those people's words, Su Zhan remained calm and said, "Have you really decided not to call off the engagement?"
"Really, absolutely!" Su Chengyun quickly said.
The elders also nodded repeatedly, afraid of missing the opportunity to establish a relationship with Su Zhan.
"You're not calling off the engagement" Su Zhan's mouth quirked up, revealing a faint smile. "But I want to call it off!"
The ruins of a Origin Elixer Realm expert
Memories flashed through Su Zhan's mind.
This ruin was not actually a big secret. Many cultivators in Liang Province knew about it, but the formation was too strong for anyone to dare to enter.
Later, a formation master discovered that every three years, the formation in that ruin would enter a weakened period. With the access token made by Liang Province's top formation master, one could enter the ruins during that time.
Of course, it was only limited to below the Martial Master realm. Otherwise, the formation would be activated and kill anyone who entered, leaving nothing but bones!
The price of an access token was around 3,000 spirit stones, more expensive than an Ordinary grade weapon.
"Okay." After weighing the pros and cons, Su Zhan agreed directly.
His current cultivation technique was almost unable to keep up with his cultivation level. Perhaps he could find a replacement technique in the ruins.
"Okay, we'll meet at the eastern entrance of the ruins in five days! The formation will be at its weakest stage then!"
"Yes, let's do it as you said."
Then, the two discussed some details and returned to the main hall.
Su Chengyun, who was waiting in the main hall, thought that Su Zhaoyue had gone to find Su Zhan to save their engagement. When he saw Su Zhaoyue come back, he asked in a low voice, "How did it go?"
"It's fine. Grandpa, let's go back!"
"What about the engagement?"
"Cancelled. Our two families will have no more ties in the future."
Su Zhaoyue's voice was crisp and pleasant, but to Su Chengyun, it was like a bolt from the blue!
"Su Zhan, my young friend"
"I don't plan to keep you for dinner. You may leave now."
Su Zhan's face was calm as he interrupted.
"Ah.." Looking at Su Zhan, then at Su Zhaoyue, Su Chengyun sighed.
Back then, when he succeeded to the position of the Patriarch, he vowed to revive the family.
But today, he himself had cut off a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
