C7 Extremely High Combat Power!

"Why are you still standing there? Take him away now!"

Once Mu Xun had given the order, the security guards didn't dare to waste any more time. They immediately dragged Chu Yuntian out.

Chu Yuntian was no match for several security guards and was forcibly removed.

Yet, he remained somewhat bewildered all the way to the door.

Hadn't he been summoned to treat Mu Yuanshan's legs? He had brought all the necessary items with him, so why was he now being expelled?

Chu Yuntian lifted the box in his hand and addressed the security guards, "I'm already out. Shouldn't you let me go now?"

"Besides, it was Yanran who called me here to treat the old master's legs. Why am I being turned away now?"

The security guards exchanged amused glances upon hearing his words.

Treating the legs?

The legs had already been healed by Young Master Ye, so what use did they have for Chu Yuntian?

The security captain paused, raised his hand, and the others promptly released their grip. Chu Yuntian collapsed to the ground.

Sitting on the ground in his formal attire just didn't look right.

The security captain crossed his arms and sneered down at Chu Yuntian.

"The old man's legs are already healed. If you're such a miracle doctor, perhaps you should go home and cure your own ailments!"

With that, the security captain shook his head, turned, and walked away, the other guards trailing behind him.

...

The banquet hall fell silent as Chu Yuntian was escorted out, leaving an air of embarrassment hanging in the room.

Although Ye Yufei hadn't specified who the man involved with Mu Yanrou was, it was clear to everyone that it was Chu Yuntian.

Even those who might have taken pleasure in his misfortune didn't dare to speak up at this moment.

Mu Xun turned to Ye Yufei and sighed, speaking in a tone of resignation, "Yufei, there's been a misunderstanding. Let Yanran explain it to you in private."

"Moreover, your parents aren't present right now. The engagement was agreed upon by both the Ye and Mu families. You can't make decisions on behalf of the Ye family, so the engagement can't be called off just like that."

The door creaked open once more as Han Yuyue entered, arm in arm with Ye Hongjun. The arrival of the pair only soured the expressions of the Mu family members further.

Their timing was uncanny. If Ye Hongjun was here to discuss the marriage, then the Mu family stood to lose the backing of the Ye family. They would become the laughingstock of the other families.

As the two approached, Mu Xun quickly grasped Mu Yanrou's hand and walked up to meet Ye Hongjun. Before Mu Xun could utter a word, Ye Hongjun spoke up.

"We've already seen everything on the live broadcast."

With that, Ye Hongjun, accompanied by Han Yuyue, made his way to the stage without further comment. They stopped on either side of Ye Yufei, beaming with pride.

This was more like it. These were true representatives of the Ye family, acting in a manner befitting Ye Hongjun's son. Excellent!

Even with the marriage agreement dissolved, there was nothing the Mu family could criticize.

Ye Yufei, observing their gaze, couldn't help but swallow nervously. He was curious about his past self—how much of a wastrel must he have been for everyone to fear him so, even drawing such looks from his own parents. Had he ever taken anything seriously?

Eventually, Ye Yufei couldn't stand it any longer. Clearing his throat, he addressed the crowd below.

"Mom, Dad, everyone's watching. Please, take a stand."

At his son's prompting, Ye Hongjun faced the audience. Surveying the crowd, he declared, "Ye Yufei is my son, and it was at his request that the marriage agreement with the Mu family was made. Since the two parties no longer harbor feelings for one another, let's put an end to it."

"I hereby announce the official dissolution of the marriage agreement between the Ye family and the Mu family. Henceforth, the two families have no further ties!"

"Ye..."

Mu Xun attempted to interject, but before he could finish, Ye Hongjun turned to face him with a stern look.

"Let's not make this more unpleasant than it needs to be for both our families. With that, we'll take our leave."

After finishing his statement, he cast a glance at Ye Yufei before turning and walking away.

As the Ye family members departed, the onlookers, having seen all there was to see, also took their leave. They were still uncertain about the exact nature of the relationship between the Ye and Mu families and were not eager to risk offending the Ye family over an issue involving the Mu family.

With the banquet hall growing emptier, Mu Yuanshan closed his eyes, struggling to contain his fury. He had been looking forward to a joyful birthday celebration, but instead, he was met with this outcome—this shock.

Once everyone had cleared out, Mu Yuanshan opened his eyes and turned to face Mu Xun. Meeting Mu Yuanshan's gaze, Mu Xun pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

Mu Yuanshan let out a cold huff and departed with his entourage. Before long, only Mu Yanrou and Mu Xun remained.

Mu Yanrou, seeing her father's demeanor, felt a wave of concern. She reached out and gently shook Mu Xun's arm. But before she could speak, Mu Xun raised his hand and struck her across the face.

"Now look what's happened. The marriage agreement between the Ye and Mu families has been dissolved. Do you realize how many people will mock us, how many will seek to make our lives difficult?" he said.

Mu Yanrou touched her cheek, tears streaming down her face, but she dared not utter a word. She hadn't anticipated that Ye Yufei would actually call off the engagement with the Mu family. Had she known, she never would have dared to act the way she did towards Ye Yufei.

Mu Xun was seething with anger at the sight of Mu Yanrou's distress. Yet, she was his daughter, and Ye Yufei had once been quite fond of Yanrou. The current debacle was largely due to Chu Yuntian's interference, not necessarily because Ye Yufei had moved on entirely.

Men have their pride, and Mu Xun thought that if Yanrou were to humble herself and apologize, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so dire.

With a sigh, Mu Xun said resignedly, "Here's what we'll do: I'll pay a visit to the Ye family tomorrow. You just wait for the news." With that, Mu Xun turned and walked away.

Ye Yufei had just escorted the elders back to the Ye family home before he made his way to his own villa. As he approached the door, the system's voice chimed in.

Mu Yanrou's Anger Points +500

Chu Yuntian's Anger Points +500

Congratulations, host, you've earned a lottery draw. Would you like to use it now?

"Yes."

There was a brief pause before the system spoke up again.

Congratulations, host, you've acquired a skill with super high combat power.

The moment the system finished speaking, Ye Yufei felt an overwhelming surge of strength course through him, as though he could take down an elephant with a single punch.

Is this what super high combat power feels like?

Ye Yufei glanced around and then strode toward the door. With a lift of his leg, he delivered a kick that sent the door flying open, shattering the lock in the process.

With his newfound might, Ye Yufei's excitement soared.

Wahaha, how can the protagonist stand a chance against him now?
