“Hahaha~”
Yan Ge laughed out of frustration, stood up, and released the aura of a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster without any reservation.
His expression turned extremely cold.
Yan Ge’s indifferent gaze swept over the purple-robed young man and the Great Elder of the Shen Family, before it settled on another figure in the hall—a petite and stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a light blue gown.
His eyes softened somewhat as he asked in a deep voice,
“Youchu, I want to know what you’re thinking?”
Yan Ge knew some of Shen Youchu’s background, but he never cared about it before.
The Yan and Shen families had a good relationship, and his eldest son, Yan Nanxiao, and Shen Youchu had known each other since childhood, having engaged to marry at a young age.
The families had agreed to wait until both Yan Nanxiao and Shen Youchu broke through to the God Refining Realm before marrying.
Yan Ge had been looking forward to this, knowing how much his son Yan Nanxiao liked Shen Youchu and thinking highly of their union.
But he never expected the Shen Family to give him such a “surprise”!
Yan Ge was extremely angry but still rational.
After the Great Elder of the Shen Family explained Shen Youchu’s true identity and the intentions of the Shen Family’s main branch, he knew today’s matter wouldn’t be easy to resolve.
If he agreed to the annulment, how could he face his eldest son, Yan Nanxiao?
If he refused to annul the marriage, the Shen Family in Tiannan City might become furious, and all members of the Yan Family could possibly die.
The main branch of the Shen Family was an enormous entity; they were not someone the Yan Family could afford to offend, so he wanted to hear Shen Youchu’s thoughts.
If Shen Youchu also intended to annul the marriage…
Shen Youchu was wearing a light blue gown, with a delicate and graceful waist, her beauty was unparalleled, and her demeanor was like that of a fairy, as if she stepped right out of a painting.
Feeling the gazes converging on her, Shen Youchu pursed her thin red lips and remained silent.
She was born into the Shen Family of Tiannan City, where her father was the current family head.
Wanting to give her a quiet and warm childhood, he had sent her to the Shen Family’s branch in Black Dragon City.
Later, Shen Youchu developed a liking for Yan Nanxiao from the Yan Family.
The two gradually became good friends, and she even secretly engaged herself to Yan Nanxiao without her father’s knowledge.
Shen Youchu knew that marrying her would be difficult for Yan Nanxiao, given the disparity in power between their families, but she went ahead with the engagement anyway.
She knew she wouldn’t be able to stay in Black Dragon City for many years and would eventually return to Tiannan City.
If Yan Nanxiao truly liked her, he would certainly work hard in his cultivation to seek her hand in marriage with great glory, just like those recorded in ancient histories.
But unforeseen events occurred, leading to changes in Shen Youchu’s thoughts, forcing her to reconsider.
Chengsheng Mountain emerged out of nowhere, becoming the First Power in the Endless Yuankun Domain, with numerous powers seeking to align with Han Mansion of Chengsheng Mountain, hoping to rapidly rise in status, including the Shen Family.
Fenghu Divine Province was one of the thirty-six Divine Provinces under the rule of Qianyuan Divine Province in the Ancient Era.
After the great calamity, it became independent, but now it seems to be aligning itself once again.
The First Power in the Yuan Kun Realm was located in Qianyuan Divine Province, bringing back its former splendor.
As the strongest power, it would govern a large number of Divine Provinces as its territory.
Soon, the thirty-six Divine Provinces surrounding Qianyuan Divine Province would one by one voluntarily submit to Chengsheng Mountain, including Fenghu Divine Province’s turn to undergo this process.
During this allegiance movement, each Divine Province’s major powers are eagerly preparing to curry favor with the Long-Living Supreme of Chengsheng Mountain.
The simplest and most direct way to do this is to offer wives and concubines to the Long-Living Supreme.
The Shen Family of Tiannan City was a Divine Yuan Realm Power, and the family head was only an Emperor Wu at the True Martial Realm.
This decision was made by the Divine Yuan Realm ancestor, and all the other Emperor Wus at the True Martial Realm agreed, leaving the family head with no right to object.
When selecting beautiful female cultivators, the Shen Family only had three who met the requirements, after all, Han Li’s criteria for taking wives and concubines were very high.
Among these three, one was of Fourth Grade talent, and one was of Third Grade talent; both were extremely beautiful and met the standards of Long-Living Supreme’s concubines.
The last one was Shen Youchu, who had Second Grade talent and was even more beautiful than the other two, fully meeting the standards of the Long-Living Supreme’s wife.
Sending two concubines was of little use to the Long-Living Supreme, but one wife and two concubines would be of great significance.
Thus, this matter was decided, and the three women, including Shen Youchu, would be sent to Chengsheng Mountain to gain the greatest benefits for the Shen Family.
The family head of the Shen Family naturally didn’t want to send his own daughter away, but he also didn’t object.
To marry the Long-Living Supreme as a Dao companion was an immense honor, benefiting not only the Shen Family but him personally and Shen Youchu immensely.
The family head of the Shen Family decided to bring Shen Youchu back early.
She naturally disagreed, as she had already secretly set her marriage with Yan Nanxiao and did not wish to marry off to Qianyuan Divine Province.
Upon learning of this, the family head of the Shen Family was enraged.
Even without the matter of Chengsheng Mountain, he would not have agreed to this marriage.
So, he personally went to Black Dragon City in the Daliang Empire to have a face-to-face discussion with Shen Youchu, laying out the pros and cons.
In the end, Shen Youchu still agreed to annul her marriage with Yan Nanxiao.
After a long silence, Shen Youchu finally spoke up, “Uncle Yan, this is also my intention…”
She knew that saying this would be a great humiliation to the Yan Family and a severe blow to Yan Nanxiao, but Shen Youchu had no choice.
This matter was decided by the Divine Yuan Realm ancestor and the various Emperor Wus at the True Martial Realm.
Her father had no place to oppose it, and he didn’t object either.
As the family head of the Shen Family put it, if she didn’t agree and insisted on being with Yan Nanxiao, it would only harm Yan Nanxiao and the Yan Family.
The Shen Family would never allow such a thing to happen.
Should it come to pass, the Divine Yuan Realm ancestor would personally eliminate the Yan Family and Yan Nanxiao, and even the Black Dragon City branch would suffer the consequences.
