“It’s a low-level cultivation bead that my mother left for me. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to simply take it, would it?” Gu Chaoyan stared at Qian Ziang with the gaze reserved for a villain.

As this question was raised…

Qian Ziang’s expression underwent a subtle change.

Low-level cultivation beads were a completely different matter from the items he had previously presented.

This was something that couldn’t be casually requested.

Not even the Southern Mist Kingdom’s royal family could possess such an item.

These mystical artifacts were likely left behind by experts from distant lands.

Shen Lianxue’s mother possessed one.

She had given it to Shen Lianxue, yet hadn’t even passed it on to the head of the Shen Family. This indicated the item’s extraordinary value.

The reason Qian Ziang had refrained from ending the engagement for so many years was because of this very low-level cultivation bead.

With this bead in his possession, he could cultivate at nearly ten times the speed.

Within just half a year, he could become the most formidable member within the Qian Family and secure his position as the family head.

Furthermore…

He had planned and schemed meticulously for a long time.

His success hinged on having access to this low-level cultivation bead.

Returning it to Shen Lianxue would spell the end of his carefully laid plans.

Returning it was simply impossible.

His earlier careless words had placed him in a difficult predicament.

Qian Ziang cleared his throat softly. “How did that thing end up in my possession? You’re quite cunning, even though you lack the physique for cultivation, you’ve hidden it well.”

“If you truly wished to retrieve it, why would I, Qian Ziang, have broken off the engagement?”

“Shen Lianxue, you’ve been causing trouble for so long. Isn’t it time to stop acting like a lunatic? Go back and see if you can find someone else to marry. Nobody in Nanlan would marry a person incapable of cultivating their physique. That would be laughable.” Qian Ziang derided Shen Lianxue unapologetically.

With that, he turned to leave, determined to avoid further involvement with Gu Chaoyan.

He didn’t want to escalate the situation regarding the low-level cultivation bead.

Observing his impending departure…

She grabbed him.

The Qian Family’s gatekeeper attempted to pull Gu Chaoyan away, but she exerted force to swing open the door. Simultaneously, she used her spiritual energy to rip apart Qian Ziang’s outer garments. As his clothes tore, several items tumbled from his pockets, including some Spirit Stones and golden sabers, along with the low-level cultivation bead she had mentioned.

Gu Chaoyan retrieved the cultivation bead and cradled it in her palm. She regarded Qian Ziang as if she were a spectator at an entertaining show. “You claimed you didn’t take it. So why did it fall from your person?”

The onlookers began discussing the situation as well.

Qian Ziang’s face reddened.

Instinctively, he reached for the low-level cultivation bead that Gu Chaoyan had taken, but his disheveled appearance and clumsy movements caused him to stumble over his own pants.

He attempted to snatch it back, but his efforts were in vain.

Instead, he found himself in a sorry state, the subject of ridicule by the onlookers.

He had never anticipated that Shen Lianxue would actually possess cultivation, causing him such profound embarrassment.

“Now that you’ve taken it, we have no further obligations to each other.

Farewell,” Gu Chaoyan declared as she retrieved the items and walked away.

Many individuals commended Gu Chaoyan for her actions on behalf of Lady Shen.

As for Qian Ziang, his image was marred by mockery.

Ultimately, the gatekeeper escorted them off the premises and closed the Qian Family’s gate.

On her way home, Gu Chaoyan contemplated the low-level cultivation bead in her possession..Th/e most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0/velbj)n((.))co/m
