"Mother, I am sorry for worrying you. From now on, I promise to protect you" Long Chen said looking at her teary eyes.
"Don't worry about me, I am glad you are alive and can walk on your own" Ling Yao said as she touched his face softly and hugged him as tears dropped from her face. This is her wish, to see her son healthy.
"In my past life, my mother died without me knowing the cause. I promise to protect you. But the only way to protect the person you love is to get stronger," Long Chen said to himself inwardly.
All of a sudden, there is a great sound of footstep which interrupt the mother and son bond.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Who authorises you to come here? This place is under strict laws that it doesn't want any visitors," Luo Li said using her small body to block the way for the guards.
"Outrageous, how dare you block the way of my guards" A loud voice erupts and guards form a path for the person.
A Young man dressed in a long golden robe with his hair flowing in the evening breeze walks and by his side a beautiful young woman dressed in a blood-red robe.
They both look stunning and eye-catching. They could best be described as a match made from heaven.
The man handsome and well-built physique and the woman beautiful and sexy body. Together, they make their way to the front of the guards.
*Pa* A loud slapping sound was heard.
*Crash* Luo Li was sent flying away.
"Imprudent, how dare you talk to me servant," Long Zhao said as he cleaned his hand with a small towel looking at Luo Li as if she were nothing but filth.
"Come out here Long Chen," Murong Yan said in a loud voice.
*Creak* Long Chen and his mother came out to see the noise makers.
"Oh, you still need someone to support you in walking," Murong Yan said in a mocking voice.
"I am here to break up our engagement. Here this is a pouch of gold, take it as compensation. Use it to buy medicine for yourself" Murong Yan said as she threw a pouch to Long Chen making the gold coin scatter all over the floor.
"How can you do this? You know that Chen'er loves you. How can you break up the engagement" Long Chen's mother said.
"My family have already decided to it, we want to break up the engagement," Murong Yan said.
"Please Yan, you know Chen'er loves you. Please don't do this" Long Yao begged moving closer to Murong Yan.
"How do you expect me to marry a cripple who can't even stand upright and cultivate," Murong Yan said looking at Long Chen with contempt.
" I have already decided to marry Long Tian," Murong Yan said moving closer to Long Tian who held her closer.
"Please reconsider, you know Chen'er adores you. He just managed to pass the three-day deadline, Don't break his heart" Long Yao said holding Murong Yan's hands.
"Know your place," Long Tian said as he pushed her away from Murong Yan.
Long Che quickly catches his mother stopping her from falling.
"Are you alright mother?" Ling Chen asked.
"Yes," Ling Yao said as she recomposed herself.
"If you know what is better for you, break the engagement I can't marry you," Murong Yan said looking at Long Chen.
Looking at him, she noticed something strange.
If it were the former Long Chen he would have started begging her and that the satisfaction she wants. Seeing men fall for her beauty. But now, the look in his eyes is like that of a stranger.
"We will be on our way now. The next time we come, we will be awaiting your reply" Long Tian said as they turned to leave.
"Wait," Long Chen finally spoke.
"What?" Long Tian said.
Long Chen had undergone a profound transformation. The person before them is a new person with a thousand years of soul.
He looks at them with a cold gaze, "I won't stoop to begging you. If you have chosen this path, so be it. Remember this moment, for you will regret it for the rest of your life. No need to wait, I, Long Chen has cancelled the engagement, from now on you are not my fiancee" Long Chen said out loud.
"Long Tian, I promise to repay the disgrace and humiliation you have caused to me and my mother. We will have a deal next three years. A duel of life and death" Long Chen said with a determined gaze.
"Are you stupid or taking Medicine has made you crazy? Three years, I will give you thirty years. We don't know if you will survive till next year. A trash will always be a trash" Long Tian said with a mocking gaze.
"No matter how you train, you can never be my league," Long Tian said.
Even though he has zero emotion for her, he can't let anyone trample his dignity.
"I promise to return the favour," Long Chen said Looking at the two with an emotionless gaze.
"Don't come crying for my attention like before," Murong Yan said with a mocking expression.
"I hope you will not break your promise of three years," Long Run said as he turned to leave holding Murong Yan's waist hoping to infuriate Long Chen but to his surprise, it felt like he didn't even know them with zero connection.
"Women are nothing but backstabbers, even though the former Long Chen did everything to satisfy her, she still did such a heartbreaking thing. As I have reincarnated into your body. I promise to bring you your lost dignity" Long Chen said inwardly.
After they left, Long Yao said.
"Chen'er I know you did this for me. You love her. But you don't have to go too far in challenging Long Tian. You know he is a genius and prodigy in cultivation. He is just 22 years and he is already a 5th-level core formation realm. And you are still in the level 3 awakening stage. He so has two partner beasts while you haven't awakened yours. The odds are not in your favour" Long Yao said looking at Long Chen with a sad expression.
