C1 (1/2)
Blue Moon Continent, Ming Kingdom, Tianfeng City, Green Stone Village.
Han Yan's forehead was covered in sweat, and there was a trace of pain on her face, but he still punched and kicked seriously.
Under the sunlight, a dozen or so youths were practicing their fist and foot techniques in a courtyard at the entrance of the village. All of them were hoping to be able to use a technique in the future.
Han Yan, you are the only one in our village who has the qualifications to participate in the evaluation of the Heaven Breaking Sect. In a few days, you will be participating in the assessment. A thirteen or fourteen year old teenager smiled at Han Yan with a bit of envy.
Fifteen years ago, the Light Sect suffered a decline in Immortal karma, and the children born that year were eligible for the exam. However, one year later, the Light Sect had no more Immortal karma, so for the next fifteen years, no one in Tianfeng City was eligible to take the exam.
One had to know that the Sky Cloud Martial School was the Orthodoxy of the Ming Kingdom. Once one entered the sect, one would be an immortal above the ninth heaven. Even the emperor had to treat them with respect.
”Tch, there are tens of thousands of people who qualify for the exam. Even if we were born a year or two too late and missed the chance to be born into the Immortal World, we would still have the right to take the exam if we did.”
When Han Yan heard what they had to say, her heart remained calm. Even if she couldn't enter the Sky Cloud Martial School, he still had a beautiful and virtuous fiancée, enough to stay calm and blissful for the rest of her life.
At this moment, the anxious sounds of someone knocking on the door came from outside the courtyard, and the sound grew louder and louder.
All the youths stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the gate.
With a creaking sound, the door opened, and a woman with a pink umbrella appeared in his line of sight.
Han Yan was slightly startled when she saw that woman. She asked, ”Xiao Ha, why have you come?”
Liu Xihan looked like she was only 14 or 15 years old, but her delicate face was bound to have a peerless beauty. She also had another identity, and that was Han Yan's wife. It was always early for villagers to get married, usually when they were 15 or 16 years old, it was the same for Han Yan. She had already arranged for this marriage two years ago, but Han Yan's family was only average and had not gotten married yet.
”Han Yan.” Liu Xihan had a strange expression on her face as she whispered, ”Do you have time? I want to say a few words to you. ”
Han Yan's heart thumped, she had a bad premonition and asked, ”What's wrong?”
Liu Ji Han opened his mouth, but didn't know how to say it. A moment later, she inhaled a deep breath of air, as though she had mustered all her courage. She softly said, ”Han Yan, let's end this here!”
This simple sentence, in Han Yan's ears, was like a bolt out of the blue.
Han Yan found it hard to accept this fact and hurriedly asked, ”Why?”
She didn't dare to look straight into Han Yan's eyes. Turning her back to him, she continued, ”It really isn't appropriate between us. I also know your family situation and can't give me the life I want!”
Han Yan opened her mouth and was silent for a moment. Then, he said, ”I want to go to the Awakening Sect. If I do, I can become an immortal. At that time, you will be able to enjoy endless wealth …”
Liu Ji laughed at himself and said, ”Immortal …” ”Don't be so naive. There were more than ten million people who qualified for the exam that year, but I'm afraid very few people can actually enter the Celestial Sect. Even if there really is someone who can pass the test, it won't be you …”
After a moment of silence, she continued, ”Also, a noble person in the capital has taken a fancy to me, and the carriage is waiting for me outside the door. From now on, our fates will no longer intersect, so please don't disturb my life anymore, I hope you can be happy.”
She turned around, a jade pendant in her hand.
It was an inconspicuous jade pendant, and carved on it were some strange patterns. Han Yan picked up the jade pendant more than ten years ago in the mountains. He had always liked it, but after getting engaged to Liu Xihan, she gave it to her.
Han Yan didn't take the jade pendant. Taking a deep breath, she took a step forward and placed her hands on Liu Shi Ha's shoulders. He looked deeply at the woman he loved and asked, ”Are we really finished?”
Seeing Han Yan's loving eyes, Liu Shi Ha hesitated for a moment. Then, he suddenly thought of something and used all of his strength to break free of Han Yan's hands and ran out of the courtyard.
With a clatter, the jade pendant fell to the ground. It was as if only this sound was left between heaven and earth. Han Yan's world also crumbled the moment the pendant fell.
Han Yan saw that all the other teenagers in the yard were staring at him with sympathy.
Picking up the jade pendant, Han Yan ran out of the courtyard. He didn't believe that this relationship, this marriage contract, had ended in such a simple sentence.
The other youngsters also ran out behind him.
