C14 Refusal!!
Upon witnessing the scene, Qin Yunhai felt a stir in his heart and quickly called out with a warm smile, "Feng, come over here."
It was hard to believe that Qin Yunhai, who had always been cold towards Qin Feng, was now using such an affectionate tone.
"I need to have a word with him in private!"
Lin Xueru stood, her voice as sharp and uncompromising as ice.
Qin Yunhai could hardly refuse. He nodded with an eager grin, "Absolutely. Feng, she's an esteemed guest. Please ensure she's well taken care of."
In a pavilion at the Qin estate.
Lin Xueru looked at Qin Feng with a cool detachment. "You know why I wanted to meet with you, right?"
Qin Feng smiled faintly. "Yes, I understand. You're intending to cancel our engagement, aren't you?"
In his previous life, this revelation had torn him apart, but now he was utterly calm, a clear sign of his transformed state of mind.
Lin Xueru was surprised by the young man's calmness; she hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so composed.
"You're not angry? You don't hate me?"
A flicker of curiosity softened her usually icy demeanor as she looked at him.
"Why should I be angry? Matters of the heart depend on fate. If we're not destined, then let it be. And you've been considerate enough to avoid bringing this up in front of everyone, which I appreciate."
Qin Feng looked up, gazing deeply at the breathtaking beauty before him, his eyes as clear and undisturbed as still water.
Lin Xueru was certainly beautiful, but that was all; she couldn't disturb his tranquility.
"Is that really how you feel?"
Lin Xueru's eyes widened. Before her visit to the Qin family, she had anticipated that calling off the engagement would deal a heavy blow to Qin Feng.
She had even rehearsed comforting words to offer him.
But she hadn't expected Qin Feng's reaction to be so level-headed, and it left her slightly at a loss.
At that moment, Lin Xueru found herself more curious about Qin Feng than ever before.
"She's truly impressive!"
Even though Qin Feng possessed the Primordial True Dragon Technique and was destined for greatness, he couldn't help but be astonished by Lin Xueru's exceptional talents.
At just sixteen, her cultivation had already reached the True Spirit Stage. How many in the world could compare to her?
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Xueru made her way back to the Qin family's living room.
"Here, take these pills. I hope they'll help you achieve even greater things," she said, handing a brocade box to Qin Feng.
Inside the box were twenty gleaming spirit pills.
"My goodness, are these Gui Yuan Pills?!" The Qin family members' eyes widened in amazement as they stared at the box.
The pills were a pristine white, perfectly round, and emitted a delicate fragrance that seemed to instantly rejuvenate anyone who caught a whiff.
Gui Yuan Pills were top-tier, significantly enhancing the abilities of Fighters at the True Spirit Stage, and even more so for those at the Body Tempering Stage.
"A Gui Yuan Pill is worth twenty thousand in gold, and there's a full score of them!" Qin Shan could barely contain his excitement, a stark contrast to Qin Feng's calm demeanor.
Qin Shan saw Qin Feng as nothing more than a failure. He believed that even if Qin Feng managed to get the Gui Yuan Pills, he'd ultimately have to hand them over.
Now at Body Tempering level 6, Qin Shan was sure that with these pills, he could ascend to Body Refinement level 9.
Reaching level 9 in Tiangang City meant you were among the top-tier experts.
"Feng, what are you waiting for? Accept the pills and give Xueru your thanks," Qin Yunhai said, his urgency evident as Qin Feng hadn't yet responded.
These Gui Yuan Pills were highly coveted; just one could set off a frenzy among all the Fighters in Tiangang City, let alone twenty.
Qin Yunhai, on the verge of breaking through to the True Spirit Stage at the pinnacle of Body Refinement level 9, knew that a few Gui Yuan Pills could greatly boost his chances of success.
For him and Qin Shan, these twenty Gui Yuan Pills were an incredible windfall.
"There's really no need for you to give me these pills," Qin Feng replied with a gentle smile, his voice light.
"What?!" The room burst into a chorus of shock, with even Lin Xueru taken aback by his response.
