Duan Yimei suppressed her embarrassment and said to Huo Hongqi with a trembling voice,
“Alright, I won’t approach you, but please tell me, why do you want to divorce me?”
“Did I do something wrong? Or was your sweet talk back then fake?”
Huo Hongqi sneered and shook his head.
“You’re still asking such a stupid question at a time like this. It seems like it’s really the right decision for me to divorce you!”
Duan Yimei said agitatedly, “Give me a clear reason!”
Huo Hongqi sneered. “Alright, I’ll be straightforward! I’ve already agreed to marry into the Nangong family and be their son-in-law.”
“So, I don’t like an ugly duck like you anymore!”
Ugly duck?
Hearing his words, not only Duan Yimei, but even Duan Fengyu and the other higher-ups of the Duan family trembled with anger.
Back then, when the Duan and Huo families were preparing for the marriage, Huo Hongqi had specially come to see Duan Yimei.
Huo Hongqi was deeply impressed by Duan Yimei’s beauty and aura.
They still remembered that more than a month ago, Huo Hongqi had once sworn to the heavens in the Duan family’s courtyard that he would treat Duan Yimei well for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the eldest daughter of the Duan family, who he had once regarded as the apple of his eye, had actually been called an ugly duck by him!
“You… are too outrageous!” Duan Yimei felt ashamed and resentful, and tears couldn’t help but roll down her face.
“You once said that your feelings for me will never change!”
“You once said that you will only like me in this life and will never betray me!”
“Did you forget all of this?”
Duan Fengyu and the others shook their heads.
The silly girl was so lovesick, yet he was so heartless!
“Hmph!”
Huo Hongqi smiled disdainfully and looked at Duan Yimei coldly.
“I was just saying this casually. How can you take it seriously?”
“Do you really think that I, Huo Hongqi, can’t live without you?”
“Let me tell you, there’s only one person I really like in this life, and that’s Nangong Aoxue! For her, I’d rather marry into the Nangong family!”
Ever since Nangong Aoxue left the Primordial Divine Mountain seven days ago to tour Yunzhou and saw Huo Hongqi, she had been won over by Huo Hongqi’s sweet words.
In order to get close to the Nangong family, the Huo family tacitly agreed to Huo Hongqi’s efforts to pursue Nangong Aoxue.
They didn’t care even if he had to marry into the Nangong family!
Now, Huo Hongqi had obtained the approval of his future father-in-law, Nangong Chentong.
He was naturally fearless as he mocked and belittled Duan Yimei to his heart’s content.
Seeing how confident he was, Nangong Chentong couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
On the Duan family’s side, everyone was about to explode with anger.
Unfortunately, the Duan family was too powerless compared to the Nangong family. No one dared to vent their anger.
“Huo Hongqi, you ungrateful bastard! How can you bully my sister like this?”
At this moment, an angry voice sounded.
A young man in a green robe rushed into the hall angrily.
Duan Yimei and the others turned around and saw that it was Duan Fengyu’s son, Duan Junchen.
Although Duan Fengyu was younger than Duan Yimei’s father, Duan Zhengyao, Duan Junchen was born three years earlier than Duan Yimei, so he became Duan Yimei’s older cousin.
Duan Fengyu was shocked to see him. “Chen’er, don’t be rash!”
Duan Junchen couldn’t listen to Duan Fengyu at all. He took out his sword and turned into a shadow to rush into the hall.
“Skylight Sword Technique!”
As the most outstanding prodigy in the history of the Duan family, he was already at the early-stage Supremacy Realm.
The “Skylight Sword Technique” that he was most proficient in had reached a superb level and could harm people from a thousand feet away.
However, in the eyes of the Nangong family guards, his move was not a threat.
One of the tall guards with a beard couldn’t help but sneer.
“This is the younger generation of the Duan family? What a good-for-nothing!”
Facing Duan Junchen’s sword, he raised the Moon Slaying Axe in his hand and suddenly chopped down.
Bang!
The terrifying axe wind carried boundless force that directly shattered Duan Junchen’s sword.
At the same time, a powerful force pierced through Duan Junchen’s body and sent him flying thousands of feet away.
After Duan Junchen landed, he let out a miserable howl and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Duan Yimei, Duan Fengyu, and the others were terrified.
Even the strongest prodigy of the generation couldn’t block the axe of the Nangong family’s guard.
The people of the Nangong family were really too terrifying!
At this moment, Nangong Chentong said coldly, “Bring him here.”
The bearded guard chuckled and went forward to grab Duan Junchen rudely before throwing him in front of Nangong Chentong.
Nangong Chentong raised her foot and stepped on Duan Junchen’s face. He wriggled the bottom of her foot a few times, causing Duan Junchen’s face to distort.
“Who gave you the courage to insult my brother-in-law like this?”
“Do you know that in my eyes, you’re just a lowly dog? I can kill you with ease!”
Seeing him humiliate Duan Junchen like this, Duan Fengyu couldn’t help but stand up and shout angrily, “Nangong Chentong, how dare you!”
Bang!
A quasi Emperor Realm Dao Protector standing opposite Duan Fengyu sent him flying.
“If you dare to be disrespectful to Eldest Young Master again, I’ll kill you!”
Hiss!
At this moment, everyone in the Duan family was silent.
The Nangong family was too powerful!
In front of them, the Duan family could only let them do whatever they wanted!
At this moment, an angry voice sounded from outside the hall. “Huo Hongqi, karma will befall you!”
Everyone looked up and saw Duan Zhengyao rushing over.
Behind him was Lin Xuan, who was dressed in white and carrying four babies.
Everyone’s gazes instantly landed on Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan’s handsomeness almost made the sun and moon pale in comparison. His extraordinary aura dazzled everyone.
At this moment, even Nangong Chentong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. She guessed that Lin Xuan was an extraordinary big shot!
Before everyone could think too much, the Nangong family guards standing at the door blocked in front of Lin Xuan and the others.
Duan Zhengyao said angrily, “Nangong Chentong, Huo Hongqi, you even dare to stop the Consort?”
Consort?
Nangong Chentong, Huo Hongqi, and the guards were all shocked.
No wonder his aura was so extraordinary. He was Empress Mystic Ice’s man!
When he thought of Lin Xuan’s shocking background and identity, even Nangong Chentong was a little hesitant.
Now, with the Nangong family’s power, they naturally couldn’t give in to Lin Xuan easily.
However, if he fought Lin Xuan head-on, he felt that he might not be able to gain the upper hand this time.
Nangong Chentong gritted her teeth and decided not to provoke Lin Xuan first.
He would endure the anger and see what Lin Xuan wanted to do.
So he waved his hand and said, “Move aside!”
The hundreds of Supremacy Realm guards at the door immediately made way.
Duan Zhengyao reached out and said, “Consort, please go ahead!”
Lin Xuan then carried Xuan Zhu and the others into the hall.
Under his unparalleled imposing presence, the six Nangong family guardians in the hall were all in a daze for a moment and did not notice that Lin Xuan had already walked within a hundred steps of Nangong Chentong.
