Chapter 118: Broken Engagement Again
"Clan Leader Chu, I wonder what brings you to my Qin family?"
Seeing Chu Chong's unease, Qin Shou's gaze turned cold, a sarcastic curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
Before his talent was wasted, Chu Chong had eagerly come to arrange the engagement, sending various cultivation resources.
After his talent was wasted, he was treated with extreme indifference, and later even came to break off the engagement, changing the marriage partner, making him a laughingstock in the Central God Domain.
Even more ridiculous, after he revealed his talent again, Chu Chong came to beg for the engagement, truly shameless to the extreme.
Qin Shou was utterly disgusted with the hypocritical and selfish Chu Chong. This visit must be to curry favor with him.
"Nothing!"
Seeing Qin Shou so arrogant, not taking him seriously at all, Chu Chong's face was embarrassed, and anger rose in his heart.
He understood Qin Shou's meaning, thinking he was overreaching.
Ridiculous.
His Chu family's noble daughter, which prodigy couldn't she marry?
The initial marriage alliance was proposed by Qin Heng.
Changing the marriage partner was also the Qin family's idea.
The purpose was their reluctance to part with his Chu family's wealth.
Even the final marriage alliance for Chu Ling'er was the Chu family's idea, to compensate for Qin Heng's death.
Besides, at that time Qin Shou was a waste whose cultivation hadn't advanced an inch. How could he let his daughter marry a waste?
Qin Heng had already taken the initiative to request changing the marriage partner. Did Qin Shou have no self-awareness at all?
Now, all the benefits and reputation were taken by the Qin family, making him seem neither here nor there.
Even more hateful, he had given countless cultivation resources to Qin Shou.
Not only was Qin Shou ungrateful, but he also resented him, truly raising an ungrateful wolf.
The more Chu Chong thought about it, the angrier he became, further strengthening his resolve to sever ties with the Qin family.
So what if they had a Divine Fire Realm cultivator?
His Chu family was not to be trifled with.
Just as Chu Chong was about to speak to break off the engagement, Qin Shou preempted him, saying lightly: "Clan Leader Chu, please return. My Qin family does not welcome you. Also, I will personally go to break off the engagement between your daughter and me."
He would definitely break this engagement, and even announce it to the world, to avenge the humiliation of Chu Yao breaking off the engagement back then.
Besides, he didn't even know Chu Ling'er, and they had no feelings for each other. He couldn't possibly marry a stranger.
What if the other party was an ugly monster?
"... You want to break the engagement? Fine, fine, fine!"
Chu Chong was stunned, then laughed in anger.
He never thought that the Chu family would also have a day of being rejected. Qin Shou was truly arrogant to the extreme.
Thinking that with a little talent, he could do whatever he wanted.
But this suited his purpose perfectly, not even needing compensation.
"You can't!"
Qin Heng's face changed, and he scolded: "What nonsense are you spouting, you unfilial son? Why don't you apologize to your father-in-law?"
"Yes, Young Master, don't be impulsive."
Challenging Gu Qing to a battle was already taking a huge risk, after all, Gu Qing was the disciple of that female devil, Zhimeng.
But thinking that Chu Yao was Jiang Yu's disciple, if they formed a marriage alliance with the Chu family, they could be unafraid of Zhimeng.
Moreover, the Chu family had given the Qin family many benefits, and they were reluctant to give up this money tree.
"You don't need to say more. My mind is made up. I will definitely break this engagement."
"If you don't agree, you can go find the Old Ancestor." Qin Shou glanced at everyone, as if seeing through their thoughts, a sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.
The little bit of benefit from the Chu family, he didn't take it seriously. He would sooner or later lead the Qin family to rise, and he didn't need a marriage alliance with the Chu family at all.
"Good."
"Since that's the case, rather than picking a day, let's just dissolve the engagement now."
Chu Chong didn't waste words and directly took out the engagement contract, which made Qin Shou frown.
It wasn't that he was reluctant, but if he broke it off just like that, how could he slap the Chu family in the face and make Chu Yao regret it?
Moreover, Qin Shou touched his chest, feeling a palpitation, with a strong intuition in his heart that he couldn't break the engagement now, or he would lose a great opportunity.
But the words had been spoken. If he went back on his word now, where would his face be?
Qin Shou took a deep breath, his gaze turning to Qin Heng, hoping he would refuse.
However, Qin Heng was destined to disappoint Qin Shou.
Since Qin Shou had brought up the Old Ancestor, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only comply.
Chu Chong destroyed the two marriage contracts on the spot, instantly feeling relieved. The resources he had previously given to Qin Shou, he considered as feeding a dog.
He looked at Qin Shou and sneered: "I know your talent is monstrous, but, there is always someone stronger, and an arrogant person will eventually be punished by heaven. You'd better take care of yourself."
Although Qin Shou possessed the Azure Sky Hegemon Body with unparalleled combat strength, and even used some unknown method to raise his cultivation by several major realms.
However, this method might work against others, but against Gu Qing, Qin Shou was doomed.
The Star Temple would absolutely not stand by and watch Qin Shou crush Gu Qing with his realm.
As for defeating Gu Qing in the same realm, Qin Shou would never be able to in his lifetime.
Chu Chong wanted to see how Qin Shou would die.
Would he be like Qin Xian, exploded with a single punch, or be flayed alive?
Chu Chong began to feel a sense of anticipation and was in no hurry to leave.
Because he had received a message from Gu Qing, who was coming over.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Qin Shou's face was embarrassed, and the feeling of losing a great opportunity grew even stronger.
Moreover, Chu Chong's lack of any regret made him exceptionally angry.
Why would someone as selfish as Chu Chong not regret it at all?
Did he still look down on him?
"Hahaha!"
Chu Chong laughed heartily, looking at him with pity, and sneered. "Gu Qing is coming. When you see him, you will understand what a truly unparalleled prodigy of all ages is."
Hearing this, Qin Shou's eyes turned cold. Chu Chong still looked down on him.
However, Qin Shou suddenly had a ridiculous guess and asked with an ugly expression: "You didn't betroth Chu Ling'er to Gu Qing, and came here today to break the engagement, did you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Shou instantly felt he had guessed the truth.
At the thought of being broken off with twice in a row, Qin Shou's mentality exploded.
He looked at Chu Chong, wishing he could draw his sword on the spot.
Damn it, he was already such a monster, known as unparalleled in all ages, sweeping through the younger generation of the Central God Domain invincibly.
He had even killed many of the older generation.
Yet he still couldn't escape the fate of being broken off with, and by the same person.
"So what if it is?"
Chu Chong sneered. It seemed he was too easygoing, making the Qin family think he was a soft persimmon, even a junior dared to ride over his head.
"To tell you the truth, I have already betrothed Ling'er to Gu Qing. You are not worthy."
He stopped pretending. Anyway, he was going to draw a clear line with the Qin family, even become enemies.
Since Qin Shou wanted to tear apart all pretense with him, why should he save face for Qin Shou?
"You..." Qin Shou's face turned green, his whole body trembling with anger.
He had thought Chu Chong came to beg for Chu Ling'er's hand in marriage, but instead, he was directly given a green hat.
The Qin family members looked at each other, their faces as dark as water, their gazes cold as they stared at Chu Chong.
If this matter got out, the Qin family would definitely become a laughingstock.
"Clan Leader Chu, are you declaring war on my Qin family?" Qin Heng's face was grim as he spoke coldly.
"As you wish."
Chu Chong said nonchalantly.
His Chu family had stood for countless years, and it wasn't as if they hadn't been threatened by Divine Fire Realm cultivators before.
Didn't they survive in the end?
"Fine, fine, fine. Your Chu family is very good. I will remember today's great humiliation."
Qin Shou's gaze seemed to be dipped in poison, staring fixedly at Chu Chong.
He swore that when his cultivation was sufficient, he would definitely destroy the Chu family.
As for now...
Qin Shou suddenly stood up, looked at him, and said word by word: "I will defeat Gu Qing and let you see who is the truly unparalleled prodigy of all ages."
Since Chu Chong thought so highly of Gu Qing, then he would suppress Gu Qing right in front of Chu Chong.
When this old thing saw his talent, he hoped he wouldn't regret it and shamelessly come to propose marriage.
"Ha, then I'll wait and see."
Chu Chong sneered, flicked his sleeves, and left the Qin family.
Seeing this, the Qin family members sighed secretly.
The matter was settled, and they were powerless to stop it.
