Qian Ziang was all smiles.
The elder from the Qian Family chimed in with a smile, “These two youngsters have been companions since their youth.”
The elders of the Shen family clan didn’t hesitate to agree. Forming a marital alliance with the Qian Family had long been a cherished aspiration of the Shen family. Whether it was Shen Ningyu or Shen Lianxue who married into the Qian Family, it made little difference. Both were Shen family members, and the family’s well-being took precedence. Therefore, there was no reason to decline.
Following the Qian Family’s proposal, the elders from the Shen family clan intended to express their thoughts. However, since Lianxue was a young woman, they anticipated that she might hesitate. Allowing her to make the final decision seemed like the natural course of action.
“These two individuals do seem to be a suitable match. In my opinion, perhaps…
Before the elders of the Shen family clan could finish their statement, Gu
Chaoyan interrupted without reservation. “Yes, right, I have to disagree. Qian Ziang, have you ever taken a good look at yourself in the mirror? You are far from my equal. You resemble a troll, and you can’t compare to me in any way. Why on earth should I marry you?”
“Back then, you looked down on me for lacking cultivation and broke off our engagement. Now, you want to propose to me? Is your cultivation even worthy of consideration?” Shen Lianxue retorted firmly.
“Don’t even entertain such thoughts. I won’t entertain them either. Qian Ziang is not worthy of me,” she declared with conviction.
“Since there’s nothing else, let’s go,” Shen Lianxue said resolutely.
With that, Shen Lianxue made her decision.
Qian Ziang, along with the elders from both the Qian and Shen Families, were left in a state of astonishment.
Unwilling?
Not worthy?
Meanwhile, Shen Ningyu had already lost her composure and paid no heed to Shen Lianxue’s response.
The Shen family elder’s expression soured. He didn’t wish to create animosity with the Qian family and therefore approached Shen Lianxue with reproach, saying, “Apologize to Young Master Qian immediately. Watch your words; they have deeply offended the Qian family.”
The Shen family elders grew increasingly anxious when they noticed that so many onlookers had gathered and were discussing the Qian family. If this situation persisted, it could have unfavorable consequences. The Shen family couldn’t afford to antagonize the Qian family.
“Have you just offended the Qian Family?” Gu Chaoyan’s voice carried far, making it apparent to everyone present.
The Shen family elders swiftly tried to muffle her voice.
Their earlier conversation had been hushed, but they hadn’t anticipated that Gu Chaoyan would broadcast it so loudly.
“It’s just the Qian Family. So what if I, Shen Lianxue, offend them? I am a Fifth Heaven martial warrior. I could offend the Li Family or even The Zhang Family, let alone the Qian Family,” Shen Lianxue boldly proclaimed for all to hear.
“My mother has already received alchemy skills from experts from other continents. In Southern Mist Country, only my mother knows how to refine pills. The emperor personally summoned her to the palace to receive the reward.”
“In the future, my mother and I will gain more power, and our pills will become highly sought after. It’s almost inevitable that we may clash with the Qian Family. However, the Qian Family should exercise caution as well. If they provoke me, my mother’s pills will no longer be supplied to them.
Consequently, while everyone else benefits from these pills to enhance their cultivation, the Qian Family will be left stagnant,” Shen Lianxue explained.
“So, how can I, Shen Lianxue, not assert myself?” she continued.
“Furthermore, it’s my sincere opinion that Qian Ziang’s cultivation level is exceedingly low and simply not compatible with mine, Shen Lianxue. I’m merely stating the facts. How have I offended him?” she questioned.
“There are numerous exceptional men in Southern Mist. Is it not my prerogative as Shen Lianxue to be discerning in my choice?” she asserted.
“Of course, of course!! Lady Lianxue, please take our considerations into account,” a group of young men from prominent families chimed in, clearly pleased with her response..
