Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Hmph, the Dao sects rules dont apply here in Great Zhou. Its her parents wishes and the matchmakers words. Since she has returned today, she will marry the Crown Prince.
Zhang Wufeng snorted coldly, not placing Dao sect or Zhang Yi in his eyes.
Zhang Yi frowned slightly, but he remained strong and domineering. General, you jest. How can the Dao sect be so easily abandoned? If one wants to leave the Dao sect, they must forfeit their cultivation!
How dare you!?
A terrifying aura burst forth from Zhang Wufeng, and the soldiers of the Generals Mansion surrounded Zhang Yi, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Father! I will never leave the Dao sect in my life, and I will never marry him even if I die!
Zhang Luoyans eyes were determined, and she moved slightly closer to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Wufengs expression fluctuated between anger and frustration, his breaths heavy and labored from the intense emotions.
This matter is not up to you!
Zhang Yi, this is a matter of my Zhang family. I hope you will mind your own business, Zhang Wufeng warned meaningfully before preparing to drag Zhang Luoyan into the Generals Mansion.
However, Zhang Yi blocked Zhang Luoyan in front of him and said calmly, General, Junior Sister is a member of my Dao sect. I cannot just stand by and watch. I hope you will not break the Dao sects rules.
As he spoke, Zhang Yi took out the Moon Shadow Token, the threat implicit.
Sure enough, Zhang Wufeng hesitated when he saw the Moon Shadow Token.
Just then, a luxurious carriage pulled by eight dragon horses appeared, and a sharp voice rang out, The Crown Prince has arrived!
A man in a dark and brooding imperial robe stepped out of the carriage. He was Great Zhous Crown Prince, Shen Changqing.
The people of the Generals Mansion immediately bowed in respect, but Zhang Yi and Zhang Luoyan remained unmoved.
Brother Zhang, its been a long time. What brings you to Great Zhou today? Shen Changqing asked with a gentle smile, courteous and polite.
Just accompanying my Junior Sister home, Zhang Yi replied with a nod, greeting Shen Changqing.
He and Shen Changqing were both included among the four geniuses of the Wuling Continent, and they had fought before, with Shen Changqing losing in the end.
I see. Thank you for escorting my fiance home, Brother Zhang, Shen Changqing said as he walked towards Zhang Luoyan, intending to take her hand. But Zhang Luoyan dodged away, her face full of disgust.
Shen Changqings eyes flashed with imperceptible resentment, but he quickly covered it up with a smile. Luoyan, have you come to your senses yet?
Who is your fiance? Dont speak nonsense! Zhang Luoyan said with a look of repulsion, involuntarily moving closer to Zhang Yi.
Luoyan, you cannot be disrespectful to the Crown Prince! Zhang Wufeng shouted angrily, raising his hand to strike Zhang Luoyans face.
But Zhang Yi stopped him and said coldly. General, is it really appropriate to use force now?
Zhang Yi! Are you sure you want to meddle in this?
Zhang Wufeng frowned slightly.
General, Junior Sister has good talent. Dont let your personal feelings delay her cultivation.
Zhang Yi shook his head and advised. He never thought he would encounter such a messy situation.
Shen Changqing, I want to call off our engagement!
Since the protagonist had arrived, Zhang Luoyan just wanted to resolve the issue quickly.
Shen Changqing could no longer remain calm. The smile on his face suddenly froze, and he looked at Zhang Luoyan with a gloomy expression. Zhang Luoyan! Its been five years! You left for five years, and I waited for you for five whole years! Do you know how I spent those five years?
In the end, Shen Changqing completely lost his composure and became hysterical.
This Shen Changqing is really infatuated, but one-sided love is like a flower falling in flowing water, Zhang Yi shook his head and sighed. ( TL a flower falling in flowing water is a common Chinese idiom or saying that describes a person or thing in a helpless or hopeless situation, similar to a flower being swept away by the current of a river. )
Zhang Luoyans face was cold and indifferent, and she spoke sparingly. What does this have to do with me?
Although Zhang Luoyan was chatty in front of Zhang Yi, she completely changed when facing Shen Changqing, and her aloofness was comparable to Zhang Yis.
Shen Changqing was furious and covered his chest, showing a painful expression. Luoyan, I sincerely love you, why wont you marry me?
I am dedicated to seeking the Dao, and have no interest in love and marriage, Zhang Luoyan said coldly without any expression.
At this moment, Zhang Yi calmly advised, Shen Changqing, we only had a brief encounter. I advise you to call off the engagement.
Zhang Yi! What do you mean by this? Why do you meddle in the affairs between Luoyan and me?
Shen Changqing refused to call off the engagement, even if Zhang Luoyan did not love him.
Taking advantage of everyones distraction, Zhang Yi quickly approached Shen Changqing and grabbed his throat, saying coldly, You wont call off the engagement? You dont have a choice!
Based on the current situation, the only way to help Zhang Luoyan call off the engagement was through intimidation.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and they did not expect Zhang Yi to have the courage to hold Shen Changqing hostage in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, their surprise lessened when they thought of Zhang Yis previous deeds.
Senior Brother
Zhang Luoyan was deeply moved. She never expected that Zhang Yi would actually use Shen Changqing as a hostage for her.
Zhang Yi! Let go of His Highness the Crown Prince! If His Highness the Crown Prince suffers any harm, you wont be able to leave Great Zhou alive!
Zhang Wufeng threatened with a murderous aura.
At this point, Zhang Yi was already surrounded. Shen Changqing was also fearless and sneered, Zhang Yi, this is the Great Zhou dynasty. I wont back out of this marriage. What can you do to me?
If you kill me, can you leave Great Zhou alive?
Shen Changqing didnt believe that Zhang Yi dared to kill him in the Great Zhou dynasty.
Zhang Yi sneered, his eyes full of killing intent. He increased the force in his hand, causing Shen Changqing to have difficulty breathing and struggling in vain.
He was afraid. He felt a strong killing intent from Zhang Yi, and at this moment he believed that Zhang Yi really dared to kill him.
You asked if I can leave Great Zhou? My master only has me as a disciple, but the Emperor of Great Zhou has more than one son.
Zhang Yi held the Moon Shadow Token in one hand and pinched Shen Changqings neck in the other.
Zhang Yi! Stop this nonsense!
On the side, Zhang Wufeng was anxious, but he didnt dare to act. After all, Shen Changqings life was in Zhang Yis hands.
Zhang Yi ignored him and coldly asked Shen Changqing, Will you back out or not!?
I will, I will back out!
Shen Changqing was really scared. While Zhang Yi loosened his grip, he nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Yi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Everything just now was just an act. He didnt really dare to kill Shen Changqing on his home turf.
Write a letter of withdrawal!
With a snap of his fingers, Zhang Yi produced ink, paper, brush, and inkstone in front of Shen Changqing, but his hand never left Shen Changqings throat.
When putting on a show, one must do the whole thing!
Under Zhang Yis threat, Shen Changqing quickly wrote a letter of withdrawal and stamped it with a blood seal, ending the engagement with Zhang Luoyan.
What are you still standing there for? Keep the letter of withdrawal!
Zhang Yi scolded when he saw Zhang Luoyan standing foolishly in place.
Zhang Luoyan finally came back to her senses, happily ran over, and took the letter of withdrawal, Thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother is mighty and domineering!
