C12 You will Become the Child of Someone else

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Bufan's expression remained impassive, betraying no change.

"Well, if you had any sense of self-awareness, you'd agree to call off the engagement. After all, what could a good-for-nothing like you hope for? To aspire for a swan's meat as a mere toad?" Yun Qingxue's voice dripped with disdain.

Before Ye Yuhang could even respond, Yun Qingxue stood up, her face twisted with revulsion she made no attempt to conceal.

Yun Xiaolan internally disagreed with his daughter's harshness, but as her father, he reluctantly held his tongue.

"The engagement can indeed be called off, but it won't be you, Yun Qingxue, who calls it off. It will be I, Ye Bufan, who cancels it with you," Ye Bufan declared, casting a brief glance at Yun Qingxue before stepping forward and pulling a sheet of white paper from his pocket.

"Here is the annulment letter I prepared long ago. Just sign it, but remember, it is I, Ye Bufan, who is divorcing you, Yun Qingxue!" he stated firmly.

Yun Qingxue's face fell as she took the paper, but before she could react further, she lashed out with a palm strike against Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan, whose cultivation was now crippled, stood no chance against the force of Yun Qingxue's blow and was sent crashing into the wall.

"Qingxue! This is the Ye residence; restrain yourself," Yun Xiaolan admonished, seeing the troubled look on Ye Yuhang's face.

After all, attacking a member of the Ye Family within their own home, no matter how much they might be despised, was still an affront to the family. Such an act could be exploited by others, potentially leading to a complete rupture between the Ye and Yun families.

Upon hearing Yun Xiaolan's caution, the faces of Ye Yuhang and the Ye Family elders softened.

However, Yeh Hongchen simply smiled and casually addressed Yun Qingxue, "No worries, Junior Sister Yun. Go ahead and strike. Senior Brother Yeh has your back."

The terms "Junior Sister Yun" and "Senior Brother Yeh" instantly altered the atmosphere. The Ye Family elders, who had been watching Yeh Hongchen, now looked on with concern.

Yun Qingxue's affiliation with a significant power was no secret in Luoyang City, and with Yeh Hongchen's words, his identity was laid bare for all to see.

This young man, exuding an air of unmistakable nobility, was actually a disciple from a major power!

It's no wonder that when Yeh Hongchen arrived at the Ye Family estate, even Yun Xiaolan greeted him with a warm smile!

At the time, they assumed Yeh Hongchen was simply another prodigious disciple from the Yun family, favored by Yun Xiaolan for his exceptional talent!

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yeh!" Yun Qingxue's expression softened from icy to warm with a smile, her eyes brimming with affection, upon hearing Yeh Hongchen's words.

Indeed, with Senior Brother Yeh's support, she, Yun Qingxue, had nothing to fear within the Ye Family.

"Young Master, I haven't had the pleasure of asking your name..." Ye Yuhang, with a sudden realization, quickly plastered a smile on his face, eager to ingratiate himself with Yeh Hongchen.

"Pah! A pair of treacherous lovers! No wonder you were in such a rush to break off the engagement—you've found yourself a paramour!"

But before Ye Yuhang could finish his thought, Ye Bufan scrambled to his feet, spitting disdainfully as he sneered, "So, you're eager to marry someone else?"

"Ye Bufan, you should realize that I, Yun Qingxue, never consented to marry you. Don't flatter yourself thinking your cultivation talent makes you superior."

Yun Qingxue's face flushed with anger as she turned to Yeh Hongchen and continued, "Senior Brother Yeh, you reached the early period of the Innate realm at just ten years old. By twelve, you had already progressed to the middle period."

"At fifteen, you ascended to the late period, and just recently, at sixteen, you've achieved the pinnacle of the late Innate period!"

"Do you think your cultivation talent is impressive? Compared to Senior Brother Yeh, you're not even fit to carry his shoes."
