‘The lady, Tang Yin, is right! All the men in this world are nothing but pigs! A bunch of liars! I will never believe in men anymore!’
Gu Yiyi took out a big trotter, took a big bite of it like she was biting into the flesh of the despicable men. Then, she turned to leave without sparing a glance at Qing Fei’er and Liu Xia.
Only when Gu Yiyi disappeared into the distance, Liu Xia’s body slumped to the ground. Tears broke free from her eyes.
“Young Lady…what should we do now?”
Qin Fei’er quickly looked around, her eyes were full of panic. Only when she realized that no one was around that she sighed in relief.
“Don’t tell anyone about this when you get back!” It was Liu Xia’s fault. Qin Fei’er must not let anyone know that the Mu family wanted to call off the marriage. Otherwise, the Qin family would get into trouble.

In Deities Gate.
Deities Gate was on par with the Divine Herbs Sect and Tian Shen Manor.
The atmosphere in Deities Gate was particularly tense. Everyone was sitting stiffly in the main hall. They looked cold and imposing.
Right before everyone in the hall lay a middle-aged man, groaning. He was brutally beaten, his face was swollen with bruises all over it. Blood could be seen oozing from his nose.
“Father, please avenge me. This rascal has laid his hand on me. Also, Brother, please control your son! He has actually done this to me!” Jiu Yue’s face was contorted in pain as he glared at the man in a violet robe, resentfully.
With a wicked smile on his face, the eyes of the man in the violet robe were full of viciousness. He raised his eyes gently, a lightning-shaped mark shining with evilness could be seen at the corner of his brow.
“Ming’er, what have you done? He is your uncle. How could you do this?” Jiu Yuan’s frowned as he said discontentedly.
“Uncle?” The men shot Jiu Yuan a wicked stare as he smirked.
“Who wanted to kill me when I was little?”
When he was little, his strength was not as powerful as it was now. If not for Nalan Yan, he would have died.
“He has laid his hand on a weak lady of the secular world in order to get Paramount. He has disregarded the rules!”
Everyone on the spot was dumbfounded.
‘Jiu Yue has laid his hand on someone from the secular world?’
“Nonsense! I didn’t!” Exploding with rage, Jiu Yue held onto his head as he glared at Jiu Ming with his eyes wide opened. He would never admit it.
“Ming’er…” Jiu Yuan paused for a while.
“Is there any misunderstanding between the two of you? Your second uncle… will not do this.”
Jiu Ming’s lips were still curved into a sneer.
‘That is my so-called ‘father’—an incapable and irresponsible man, who dares not find out the person who wanted to kill his own son and murdered his late wife.’
“Moreover, your cousin’s strength is not inferior. Why don’t you give Paramount to him? You would be free from all hassles after this…” Jiu Yuan heaved a soft sigh. He did not want too many conflicts within the clan. If giving Paramount to Deities Gate would resolve their grievances, it was a fair deal.
However, seeing Jiu Ming’s cold and evil gaze, the last few words were trapped in his throat. He simply could not say them out loud.
“Paramount is not mine! It has not belonged to me since the very beginning!” Jiu Ming sneered.
“What did you just say?” Jiu Yue snarled as he got up.
“Do you truly think I have no idea that you have fallen for a lady of the secular world and want to give her Paramount? You are the one who has built Paramount and you are part of Deities Gate. As I am the heir of Deities Gate, naturally, Paramount is also mine.”
