Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 869 - 21: Breaking Off the Engagement Before Marriage

Chapter 869: Chapter 21: Breaking Off the Engagement Before Marriage

Recently, Taiyuan Mountain located on the Penglai Coast has been very lively.

Fishermen from the coast hadn’t seen anyone enter or leave Taiyuan for many years, but ever since that patch of Purple Cloud on the mountain dispersed, people have been entering Taiyuan one after another.

A few days earlier, a large group of Hunter Soldiers moved into the mountain.

However, unlike those wild Hunter Soldiers whom the villagers feared, these people bearing the "Sky Expedition" banner were well-disciplined and never disturbed the villagers of the Fishing Village.

Even when they occasionally came to buy some daily necessities, they were very courteous.

The Hunter Soldiers told the fishermen that they were here to restore the Taoyuan Ruins on Taiyuan Mountain and that they would settle here in the future.

Meanwhile, Penglai had also sent some Summoners over, claiming that Taiyuan Mountain was part of their territory.

But those usually arrogant Summoners had barely entered the mountain when they heard a loud roar. In the sky, a Martial Artist with a voice like a great bell single-handedly drove all the Summoners from the Summoning Court out.

Subsequently, people dressed as commoners also began to move into Taiyuan Mountain one after another.

The long-abandoned Taiyuan Mountain gradually came to life again, and the fishermen found themselves with good neighbors once more.

On this day, shortly after sunrise, the newly restored Taiyuan Castle stood majestically above the forest, shining like a jewel in a crown.

Outside the castle, Sky Hunting Corps’ Hunter Soldiers were carrying out their daily drills.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar, like a clap of spring thunder, caused the newly repaired castle to tremble thrice.

Once the Great Zhou Martial Saint, now the acting City Lord of Taiyuan Castle, Yun Bahe, was hopping mad inside the castle early in the morning, shouting, and cursing the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Emperor of Great Zhou.

The soldiers still training were not surprised; such a voice was unique in the world and could belong to none other than Yun Bahe’s father, Old General Yun.

Speaking of the Old General, back in the day, he was the greatest commander of Great Zhou, accustomed to issuing orders and fighting enemies with a voice like a brass gong.

Ever since moving out of Great Zhou and settling in Taiyuan Castle, the Old General had been in a great mood.

With the Emperor high and far away, Yun Bahe had never felt as carefree in these recent days, sometimes even humming a few off-key tunes.

But today, something was clearly off. Just around dawn, the Commander and Commander’s wife had rushed over, faces tense with worry, bringing some news that set the Old General ablaze with rage from the start of the day.

What had gotten Yun Bahe so angry was an imperial edict brought by Yun Canglang.

"This is outrageous, that brat Night Beiming actually dares to break the engagement before marriage, I’ll ruin him!"

This imperial edict was now posted all over Great Zhou’s notice boards, boldly declaring the entire Yun Family had committed treason, and a breakup letter from Ye Beiming, announcing to the world his dissolution of the marriage engagement with Yun Sheng of the Yun Family.

As soon as this news came out, the entire court was in an uproar.

Who exactly is Yun Sheng? A few years ago, she was the high-profile officially acknowledged granddaughter of the Yun Family. Although Yun Bahe is no longer the Great Zhou Martial Saint, the Yun Family produced double Martial Saints and a Sky Mage like Yun Canghai.

Yun Sheng herself was even in advanced studies at the Magic Elite Camp, making this sudden pre-marital engagement breakup with Night Beiming a storm of controversy throughout the city.

"Father, don’t be angry. Sheng’er’s engagement was decided in haste, and brother had said earlier that he didn’t support the engagement," Yun Canglang tried to calm his raging father with kind words.

"Hmph, do you think I was ever satisfied with that brat Night Beiming? I always said he was unreliable. A guy that good-looking is always all surface and no substance, just a pretty pillow. Our Sheng’er is both capable and beautiful, and there are enough men wanting to marry her to line up from the top to the foot of Taiyuan Mountain," Yun Bahe puffed out his chest and rolled his eyes.

In his eyes, his precious granddaughter was like a fairy from the heavens, and that brat Night Beiming dared to break the engagement?

On what grounds, what right did he have?

"And that Qin prince wanted to marry our Sheng’er back then too, and then there’s her childhood sweetheart," Yun Bahe counted off, afraid others wouldn’t know how popular his granddaughter was.

"Old General, please calm down. This matter was entirely the Emperor of Great Zhou’s doing, Prince Beiming only found out afterward," Zhou Qingchuan said, having just been led inside as Yun Bahe was fuming.

Before leaving Taiyuan Mountain, Yun Sheng had entrusted Zhou Qingchuan to help restore Taiyuan Castle.

Thanks to Wuji Commerce’s skyship and numerous craftsmen, Taiyuan Castle was restored in such a short time.

Zhou Qingchuan had become well-acquainted with Yun Bahe and the others.

Seeing an outsider present, Yun Bahe suppressed his outburst but still harbored much anger towards Night Beiming.

"No one can persuade me, I just can’t stand those two from Great Zhou, Ye Chengtian is an ungrateful wretch, so how good could his son be?" Yun Bahe grumbled, seething with rage.

"General Yun, I’m here today as a mediator. Honestly, Prince Beiming and I are also old acquaintances. Here’s a letter he specifically asked me to personally give to Yun Sheng. But I don’t have any news of her, so I must pass it to you two, hoping that after reading it, you will understand Prince Beiming’s intentions."

Zhou Qingchuan said while handing over a letter.

Zhou Qingchuan had only learned of Night Beiming’s pre-marital engagement breakup with Yun Sheng the day before, shocked just like the Yun Family father and son.

He even confronted Night Beiming in person about it.

Zhou Qingchuan bluntly confessed his feelings for Yun Sheng to Night Beiming.

"Prince Beiming, though we are business partners, I have always seen you as a brother. I knew you before Yun Sheng, yet my affection for her is genuine. I wanted to marry her, but you beat me to it, and I felt no resentment toward you. But if you treat Yun Sheng wrongly, our brotherhood ends here."

Hearing Zhou Qingchuan’s heartfelt words, Night Beiming was also moved.

The answer he gave to Zhou Qingchuan was in this letter.

After Zhou Qingchuan explained the circumstances, Yun Bahe calmed down slightly but remained angry, "Hmph, let’s see what that brat has to explain."

Yun Bahe huffed as he opened the letter written by Night Beiming.

Once he read the handwriting on that letter, even Yun Bahe, an old general seasoned in the battlefield, couldn’t help but change his expression, gasping a sudden breath.

Night Beiming’s letter contained only eight words.

Night Beiming was actually intending to...

"Hmph, the breakup letter was written by him, and so was this letter. How am I to know which one is real and which is fake?" Yun Bahe remained slightly dissatisfied.

His family’s granddaughter had been shamed. After this uproar, who else would dare marry Yun Sheng?

"General Yun, Commander Yun, we only need to give Prince Beiming three more months, and the truth will come to light," Zhou Qingchuan was convinced that anyone seeing that letter would be incredulous, but he believed it.

What Night Beiming promises, he undoubtedly will fulfill.

After seeing those eight words, Zhou Qingchuan felt completely at ease.

In the world, perhaps only Night Beiming would dare to utter those eight words.

For Yun Sheng, having Night Beiming, it’s her utmost fortune in life.
