Chapter 979: Chapter 463: Breaking off the Engagent!_2
She…
Is going to put on an act?
Shen Ye was full of doubts, but on the surface, he cooperated:
“Yes, I rember when I proposed, you accepted.”
“According to the attribution judgnt of our entire civilization, your mory hadn’t awakened at that ti. Therefore, decisions made under those circumstances are neither acknowledged nor pursued,” Elder Luo interjected.
Shen Ye caught the aning and looked toward Xiao ngyu:
“So, what you an is?”
Xiao ngyu spoke: “After my mory awakened, the disparity between our identities beca like an insurmountable gulf. The difference in our strengths is like heaven and earth. So, my aning is quite clear.”
“—I want to annul our marriage.”
Buzz—
The surrounding murmurs suddenly grew louder.
Everyone instinctively looked toward Shen Ye.
Father Shen stood up, ready to speak, but was held back by Shen Ye.
“Play along; it’s best if you act a little more outraged.”
Xiao ngyu’s transmitted voice sounded again.
Shen Ye now noticed sothing suspicious.
Does she have so hardship she can’t share?
In that case, cooperating with her isn’t really a problem.
“We clearly agreed to study together and get married when we beca adults. Why are you going back on your word!”
Shen Ye said angrily.
“I thought I made myself very clear—you are not worthy of .” Xiao ngyu said quietly.
“I’m not worthy of you?” Shen Ye sneered.
Xiao ngyu avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and murmured softly:
“I know this is unfair to you.”
“So—”
She stepped forward and placed a storage ring on the table before Shen Ye.
“This is compensation for you. I hope you achieve great things in the future.”
“From now on, our marriage contract is nullified.”
Xiao ngyu said.
“Do you intend to use this so-called compensation to insult ?” Shen Ye snorted coldly.
“Tsk,” Xiao ngyu’s voice ca through again, “That’s not the right response.”
“I heard there are issues with your mory. I was worried you’d fall behind others, which is why I ca to do this.”
Shen Ye sensed a certain grievance in her tone, and grew even more surprised. Unable to resist, he grabbed the storage ring and directed his spiritual power inside.
Within the ring was a massive stele, like a towering mountain.
Carved into the stele were bold characters:
“From the azure skies above to the Yellow Springs below.”
Shen Ye froze.
Azure skies…
Is she scolding for being poor?
No, azure skies…
Wait, that doesn’t seem right either…
What does it an?
Xiao ngyu’s transmitted voice sounded again:
“This is our family’s strongest sword technique, one of the finest in the civilization. It’s only because I’m annulling the marriage that permission was reluctantly granted to offer it as compensation.”
“Hold on—are you going through all this just to give a sword technique?” Shen Ye transmitted back.
“I made the decision to do this as soon as I heard you had returned,” Xiao ngyu transmitted.
Shen Ye sighed and transmitted back:
“There’s really no need. My strength—”
Xiao ngyu interrupted him: “Using sword techniques and legacies from the Death Planet to defeat forces within our civilization will never be acknowledged; you’ll even be resented for it.”
“If you want to rise and gain recognition, you must rely on the legacies of our civilization to succeed.”
“Such high-level legacies are typically restricted to the noble families and are rarely passed outside.”
“Only through the noble ritual of marriage annulnt can an item of compensation be gifted to the disadvantaged party.”
“The noble families only recognize their own.”
“Even so, it’s only permitted for you alone to practice, and if this technique spreads, you will die.”
As she transmitted these words, she kept her head lowered and retreated behind Elder Luo.
Elder Luo sighed, then stood up and said:
“This ti, the fault lies with us. However, we’ve compensated Young Master Shen generously, and we hope the Shen Family… will take the dignity of noble families into consideration.”
Father Shen grew furious and was about to speak again but was stopped by Shen Ye.
“It’s okay; she ca to help .”
Shen Ye transmitted.
Father Shen glanced at him in surprise, then at the ring, and suddenly a thought occurred to him.
But he had already beco angry.
Left with no choice, Father Shen sat back down in a fury, expressing his discontent with a cold snort.
The surrounding observers from the Various Noble Families felt a bit disappointed.
You threw a fit, but didn’t make a move—what’s the point?
At this mont, Shen Ye stepped forward and proclaid loudly:
“Thirty years in the south, thirty years in the north! Don’t look down on a young man—”
He saw Xiao ngyu hiding behind Elder Luo, her beautiful eyes rolling in exasperation, giving him a rather speechless look.
Shen Ye found himself unable to continue speaking.
Did I overact?
Elder Luo clasped his hands and said: “Indeed. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways, owing each other nothing!”
“ngyu, let’s go.”
He led Xiao ngyu toward the exit of the hall.
Xiao ngyu turned back to glance at Shen Ye and transmitted:
“Make sure you practice that sword technique well.”
“Our matter…”
“Can wait for the future to be resolved.”
As her words fell,
Her steps seed to grow hurried, sticking close to Elder Luo’s side. Not long after, she had left.
The others, having realized there was no more drama to watch, also began to take their leave one by one.
All that remained were Father Shen and Shen Ye.
“What exactly happened earlier? Did you two truly once pledge yourselves to each other?”
Shen Shi’an asked with a bewildered expression.
“We were very close; she was worried that with my mory loss, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the pace of cultivation, so she ca to give sothing,” Shen Ye transmitted.
Shen Shi’an instantly lost his anger.
Looking at the ring in Shen Ye’s hand, he couldn’t help but ask:
“Is this the compensation for the annulnt?”
“Yes. It’s a cultivation technique, titled ‘From the Azure Skies Above to the Yellow Springs Below.'” Shen Ye said.
Shen Shi’an trembled all over and blurted out:
“The ‘Long Hatred’ sword technique!”
Shen Ye searched his mory—
After consuming that Soul Summoning Pill, he gained so basic knowledge about this world.
Though it couldn’t compare to those whose mories had awakened, at least it gave him so sense of identity.
“No, my mory doesn’t include this sword technique,” Shen Ye shook his head.
