"There is naturally a way!" Then, Young Master Xiao, please abdicate your position. As long as you are not the young master, our Xiao family does not need to suffer the humiliation of the young master's abdication. Of course, since Young Master Xiao has abdicated, our Xiao Clan Master has abdicated as well! "

Finally reaching the most important point, Xiao Zhendong impatiently said it. This method might sound forced, but as long as Xiao Qian abdicated, it didn't matter if he abdicated or not.

"Yes, Second Master Xiao's method may be naive and superficial, but it is still not a solution. I think it is possible!"

"Young Master Xiao, are you alright? He is an inner court disciple of the Green Yuan School. Who do you think you are?" Since they came to find you to end the engagement, how could you still be so excited about it? "

"That's right, our Young Master Xiao couldn't have been stupid, right?"

"If you let Mu Qingxue be your personal maid, wouldn't our Young Master Xiao be living a dream?"

The surrounding Xiao family members once again began to mock Xiao Jiu. Although Xiao Chen had defeated Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen in a strange manner, this did not mean that this young master was really not a trash.

As for why he was able to defeat Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen, it was probably because he didn't know why, but it was because this young master had such a powerful strength.

The Mu family's annulment of the marriage was the most powerful and unavoidable reason for Xiao Jiu and his son to abdicate. This was their last and most powerful trump card.

As long as the Mu family annulled the marriage, Xiao Jiu and his son would have to withdraw. It was related to their family's reputation and foundation, so there was nothing to discuss. They were just waiting for Mu Qingxue to end the marriage.

"Reporting, there is someone claiming to be from Great Desolate City's Mu Clan who wishes to meet you!"

At this time, a guard of the family walked in and reported loudly.

Xiao Zhen Dong and Xiao Meng Sheng's eyes lit up when they heard this. Cao Cao arrived just in time! Between their brows, there was a trace of a gloating smile.

Xiao Qian instantly frowned when he heard this. If the Mu family came to cancel the engagement at this time, it would be troublesome.

If the marriage was annulled, then even if he didn't lose his position as the family head, he wouldn't be able to remain calm.

In the world of the nine realms, having the marriage annulment was a huge disgrace to any clan. It was an intolerable disgrace.

"Let them in!"

As the head of the family, Xiao Qian only furrowed his brows, not flustered in the slightest.

Before long, a sixteen or seventeen year old young girl walked in from the outer door.

The girl was tall and slim. Her face was mostly covered by the light muslin but from the contours of her face, one could vaguely guess that she was a beauty that could overturn the world.

She wore a snow-white dress that revealed half of her shoulders, revealing her enchanting collarbones. Although the dress was slightly loose, her perfect figure was still faintly discernible.

This figure and outline were enough to make a group of hot-blooded youths go crazy.

From the moment the young girl stepped into the Xiao family's residence, she attracted everyone's attention. When she walked into the hall, the surrounding crowd automatically made a path for her.

Behind her was a black-masked retainer dressed in a thick cloak. His face was covered by a black cloth, making it impossible for others to see his appearance, making him appear rather mysterious.

The young girl walked to the center of the meeting room. Her gaze fell upon Xiao Jiu and met his gaze. She withdrew her gaze and walked to Xiao Qian and removed the veil covering her face.

A beautiful face that could be considered an exquisite work of art. A perfect figure with a temperament as cold as a snow lotus. How was this a mortal? She was simply a fairy that had descended into the mortal world.

The moment the young girl took off her veil, the meeting room instantly burst into an uproar.

"Beautiful, she's too beautiful. If such a beauty could be intimate with me, then even death would be worth it!"

"My first love, you are too greedy. If I could hold her hand, even if I die, I would be satisfied!"

"What a pity, such a beauty is actually a trash's fiancée!"

In the meeting room, there were endless exclamations of praise, but these sounds didn't seem to have any effect on the young girl at all as they fell into her ears.

"Qing Xue greets Uncle Xiao!"

Mu Qingxue gently bowed and said in an extremely pleasant voice.

"Greetings, Niece Qinxue. What brings you here?"

Xiao Qian looked at Mu Qing Xue. This girl's cultivation was indeed at the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage. Furthermore, she was only sixteen years old. With such talent and such beauty, there was not a second in the eighteen cities of the Nine Prefectures.

It was a pity that he had come to end the engagement.

Unfortunately, his son wasn't lucky enough to have one.

As for the black-clothed, masked follower standing next to Mu Qingxue, he had his eyes closed ever since he entered the room, as if he didn't care about the surrounding matters.

Xiao Qian's gaze landed on this follower, but he couldn't see through his cultivation. It was obvious that this follower was an old man with a high cultivation base.

In this situation, either the old man's cultivation base was much higher than Xiao Qian's, or the old man used a special method to conceal his cultivation. According to Xiao Qian

"Uncle Xiao, Qing Xue has a presumptuous request. Before we speak of this presumptuous request, I would like to ask Uncle Xiao to accept Qinxue's kind intentions! "

Mu Qing Xue replied respectfully as she stood in front of Xiao Qian. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed and her face turned cold. Her gentle voice was extremely pleasant to listen to.

As he spoke, a embroidered box appeared in his hand. As the embroidered box opened, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted over, causing everyone present to be startled.

"This is a small token from our Mu Clan. I heard that young master Xiao Jiu's health is not too good, so I especially took a 1000-years-old Blood Ginseng as a gift. I hope it will benefit young master Xiao's health."

Mu Qingxue said coldly.

These words caused a sensation in the meeting room. It was not an ordinary ten-year old blood ginseng, nor was it a hundred-year old blood ginseng. Rather, it was a thousand-year old blood ginseng.

Xiao Zhen Dong and Xiao Meng Sheng's eyes burned with passion as they looked at the fiery-red medicinal ingredients in the box. Even the knowledgeable Xiao Qian's mouth twitched. The Mu family was indeed the largest family in the Great Desolate City. How could they not be generous?

The Xiao Clan's income was only a few hundred thousand silver coins a year. This thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng was probably worth several tens of thousands of silver coins. It was equivalent to one tenth of the Xiao Clan's income a year.

Moreover, the effect of the Millennium Blood Ginseng was extremely strong. Refining and absorbing a Millennium Blood Ginseng could allow a martial artist under the age of 15 to break through to the Core Formation stage without any obstacles, and with the help of the Millennium Blood Ginseng, the difficulty in cultivating would be greatly reduced in the future.

This 1,000 year old blood ginseng was equivalent to a family's top genius.

"Also, this is a middle grade Profound Rank cultivation technique. I hope Uncle Xiao will not mind it!"

A light blue water vapor was condensed in his hands, and within the water vapor, a light blue scroll was shrouded. When the scroll appeared, everyone could feel that the air in the conference hall seemed to become moist all of a sudden.

Looking at the light blue scroll in Mu Qing Xue's hands, Xiao Zhen Dong and Xiao Meng Sheng were extremely shocked. If the value of a Thousand Year Blood Ginseng was equivalent to a tenth of the Xiao family's annual income, then this middle grade Mysterious rank cultivation technique was equivalent to a year's income of the Xiao family.

More importantly, high-level cultivation techniques were extremely rare and could not be bought with money.

One must know that in the vast Xiao family, with a long history, there was only a single Medial Grade Profound Ranked Cultivation Method. Furthermore, they also knew that the family head and the direct descendants of the family head could cultivate it.

Xiao Zhendong couldn't help but feel excited as he took a step forward. His body released a shocking amount of mystical Qi, as if he was showing everyone that he was determined to get this technique.

However, Xiao Zhen Dong's slight action made the follower behind Mu Qing Xue extremely displeased. The follower's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, followed by an incredibly powerful pressure that spread out in all directions with him as the center.

"So powerful!"

Xiao Meng Sheng shouted lightly. His eyes became a little more serious. The actions of the cloaked servant were obviously a warning to everyone on the scene not to act rashly.

"I still don't know what request Miss Mu has. Xiao Ji really doesn't dare to accept such a generous gift!"

Xiao Ji was also shaken. He stood up and spoke with an extremely solemn expression. This gift could be said to be extremely thick, but no matter how much the Mu Clan offered as a bargaining chip, he would not use his son's dignity to obtain such benefits.
