Chapter 81 Lian Yu Came To The Hong Clan To Annul The Engagement!
?
[When you saw Lian Yu, Lian Yu also saw you. Her expression when she saw you was quite mixed as she didn't seem happy or angry when she saw you.]
[You didn't have any bad impression of Lian Yu aside from her personality being too annoying when she was too obsessed with being independent. Other than that, she was indeed a good fiancee candidate for you as she came from the Lian Clan.]
[The Lian Clan was the second strongest clan in the world. It was worth noting that the Lian Clan's star artifact is a set of armor and like the Hong Clan, only the type of star artifact was hereditary.]
[The star artifact of the Lian Clan varied among members but what they all have in common was that their star artifacts were all a set of armors. Furthermore, it was a tradition of the Hong Clan and Lian Clan to perform intermarriage between each other.]
[As for why, it was none other than the Hong Clan and Lian Clan members having the ability to perform the so-called "star fusion". Star fusion was a star artifact technique that allowed compatible star artifacts to fuse to improve the power of both star artifacts.]
[However, the requirement for activating star fusion was not only a compatible star artifact but also a good relationship with the other party who performs the star fusion. And what relationship was better than husband and wife?]
[With that in mind, the Hong Clan and Lian Clan had solidified their position as the strongest clan by performing intermarriages and having an unbreakable alliance with each other. Their star fusion technique allowed them to surpass enemies that were stronger than them.]
[From what you have remembered, Lian Yu was the second young miss of the Lian Clan, not the first. She wasn't even the crowned heir of the Lian Clan. However, she was the most suitable for performing the star fusion technique with you as her star artifact was none other than the Void Dragon Armor.]
[You don't know why she was so resistant to marrying you. After all, she didn't seem to disdain the fact that you couldn't break through and become a Revered Constellation. Moreover, you were very handsome and talented so you didn't know why she was so hellbent on becoming an independent girl.]
[Lian Yu seemed to disdain receiving the help of others as she didn't want to feel indebted. She would always do things by herself rather than asking others for assistance.]
[You have already seen through Lian Yu's personality and from that alone, you could already guess where the meeting in the Hong Clan Hall would result in.]
[After you arrived and met with Lian Yu, Lian Yu looked at you before she spoke to the clan elders and the clan patriarch, "I have come to the Hong Clan to annul my engagement with Hong Zhiye!"]
[When you heard Lian Yu's words, you felt that your pride and dignity were trampled on! After all, she dared to annul the engagement between you! That was a slap to the face to you!]
[You didn't even like her due to her annoying personality. So what if she was beautiful? It was not like you didn't enjoy a beautiful girl before.]
[It was only due to the tradition of the Hong Clan and Lian Clan that you didn't disagree with the engagement. Nevertheless, Lian Yu dared to annul the engagement with you?!]
[You can annul the engagement between you, but she cannot! In other words, Lian Yu wasn't worthy to break the engagement between you. Yet she dared to do so, which only meant that she was courting death!]
[If Lian Yu broke her engagement with you, it would look like you were an incompetent man. That's why, you cannot allow it!]
[Not only you, but it seemed that your father and the clan elders weren't happy with what Lian Yu had said. Unlike you who only cared about your dignity and reputation, your father and the clan elders have thought way beyond that.]
[For them, a member of the Lian Clan breaking off the engagement between them, the Hong Clan, was only a slap to the face to the Hong Clan!]
[As the strongest clan in the world, the Hong Clan valued their reputation and dignity the most! Otherwise, if the Lian Clan could easily slap their face, others may follow suit!]
[You have noticed the tacit understanding between your father and the clan elders. You know that they dislike Lian Yu's action of annulling her engagement with you. However, they were a senior so they couldn't attack a junior like Lian Yu as that would even destroy the reputation and dignity of the Hong Clan.]
[Your father and the clan elders looked at you, waiting for your response regarding this matter. You know that they have secretly given you permission to antagonize Lian Yu to repay the humiliation that she had done to not only you but also to the Hong Clan's reputation and dignity!]
[They were waiting for you to teach Lian Yu a lesson. Since you disliked Lian Yu even more after the stunt she pulled, you didn't mind doing your father and the clan elders a favor. And besides, this matter was indeed related to you so you had to deal with it.]
[Taking out your star artifact, the Nine-Colored Cosmic Sword, you pointed it towards Lian Yu and spoke, "You dared to annul our engagement, what gives you the confidence to do that?"]
[Your killing intent locked onto Lian Yu which made cold sweat trickle down her forehead. However, Lian Yu didn't kneel even with the pressure of your killing intent as she took out and wore her star artifact, the Void Dragon Armor, which protected her from the pressure of your killing intent.]
[When Lian Yu released her Void Dragon Armor, due to using it in full power just to resist your killing intent, her star artifact revealed 6 stars, indicating that she was a Star Emperor.]
[Noticing that Lian Yu was only a Level 68 Star Emperor yet she dared to humiliate you, you scoffed, "You call yourself a genius yet you are only a Level 68 Star Emperor at 18 years old. I wonder why you even want to annul our marriage when you don't even have the strength to defy me."]
