Chapter 704 - Breaking off the Engagement Once Again (2/2)
Therefore, the situation in the capital completely changed the moment Yan Feifei reached the Holy Stage.
“No wonder the Yan family did not go to the Tang Sect to show their goodwill toward Qin Haodong. They’re confident that Yan Feifei will definitely make it!”
“Well, I heard that Qin Haodong took Yan Zicheng’s fiancee away. The Yan family will not let him off…”
“The world has changed. In the future, the Yan family will rule the capital. There will be no seven big families and the Yan family will be our Boss…”
All the upper-class aristocratic families in the capital were in a panic and tried to find a way out of the dilemma for their families.
In the Zhao family, Zhao Qingwu stood in front of Zhao Cangqiong and said shyly, “Grandpa, I love Haodong. I want to marry him and he’s also willing to marry me.”
Hearing her words, Zhao Cangqiong laughed pleasantly and said, “Well-done, our Zhao Family will count on you…”
But before he even finished speaking, Zhao Canghai and Zhao Cangtian rushed in from outside and said, “Master, you will not believe it! Yan Feifei broke through the bottleneck and became the first Saint of the seven major families in the capital.”
It was said that Qin Zongheng was at the Saint Stage, but they only had a glimpse at him and did not get the final confirmation. So Zhao Cangtian did not take him into consideration at this moment.
“What?”
Zhao Cangqiong was shocked and the teacup fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.
He had been trying to please Qin Haodong and even broke the marriage contract with the Yan family, but he did not expect that the situation would change so drastically. The Yan family had a saint. This happened so fast and it was beyond his expectation.
He had thought that the Yan family could get angry, but they could do nothing to the Zhao family because they were well-matched in strength. That was the reason why he dared to break the contract.
But now the whole situation had changed. It would be quite easy for the Yan family to destroy the Zhao family since they had a saint now.
He composed himself and said to the two, “Are you sure that Yan Feifei is now at the Saint Stage? Did you see it with your own eyes?”
Zhao Canghai said, “Yes, we saw the whole process. Yan Feifei displayed the unique skills of a Saint and also intimidated us with her great pressure. I’m sure that Yan Feifei is a real Saint. She’s so strong.”
He was still frightened at the thought of the great power Yan Feifei had just displayed.
After confirming the news, Zhao Cangtian collapsed on the sofa in desperation. After a moment of silence, he said to the two Elders, “We just canceled the marriage contract with the Yan family and now they have a saint. What should we do?”
Zhao Cangtian said, “We can do nothing but cancel the marriage with the Tang Sect now. And then we’ll send Qingwu to the Yan family and await their punishment.
“I hope that they can let us go for the sake of the marriage alliance. Otherwise, our Zhao Family will be finished this time.”
Zhao Canghai said, “Yes, we do not have the ability to resist the saint.”
Hearing that they were going to send her to the Yan family for the marriage alliance, Zhao Qingwu was in a panic and protested, “No, I won’t get married to anyone in the Yan family this time.”
Zhao Cangtian said in a cold voice, “Are you going to watch us being destroyed by the Yan family?”
Zhao Canghai sighed and said, “Girl, we do care about how you feel, but things are quite different now. We will be finished this time if the Yan family does not forgive us.”
“No, I don’t care.” Zhao Qingwu shouted crazily, “Haodong and I love each other. I won’t marry anyone but him.
“I just want him!”
Zhao Cangtian snorted coldly, “You don’t know how terrible a Saint is. If you offend the Yan family, I’m afraid that the Tang Sect will be wiped out tomorrow. Who are you going to marry then?”
Zhao Cangqiong also came to his senses. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “That’s the only thing we can do. I’m going to break off the engagement with the Tang Sect now.”
“No, you can’t do that. I will marry no one but Qin Haodong, whether I’m dead or alive. I will never get married again in my life.”
Zhao Cangqiong’s face clouded, “That’s a family issue and how can I let you, a girl, determine the destiny of the entire family?”
Then he asked two servants to come over, “Take your young lady to her room and she’s not allowed to leave her room without my permission.”
“Grandpa, please don’t do that…”
Zhao Qingwu still wanted to say something, but Zhao Cangqiong had already strode out of the living room. He hurried to the Tang Sect with a few family members.
He wanted to break off the engagement with the Tang Sect as soon as possible to make his stand clear and then gain the forgiveness of the Yan family.
Wei Junzheng had been in a good mood for the past few days. His granddaughter, Yanran, had successfully moved into the Tang Sect. She would definitely be married to Qin Haodong.
But he was astonished at the news that Yan Feifei had reached the Holy Stage.
In particular, Wei Junkuo reported that Qin Haodong had just beaten up Yan Zicheng at No. 5 Mansion and taken Zhao Qingwu away. This young man must have a big feud with the Yan family. Wei Junce was frozen in great terror.
It seemed that the Tang Sect was doomed this time. Qin Haodong would definitely be killed by the angry Saint.
What he needed to do now was to stay away from the Tang Sect to avoid being punished by the Yan family.
After a moment’s hesitation, he immediately said to his family, “Hurry up and prepare a car for me. I’m going to cancel the engagement and bring Yanran back.”
