Chapter 66 Fiancée
Chapter 66 Fiancée
It was midday.
Luo Qingchen found a small shop, spent ten coins, and had lunch.
After finishing his meal, he bought a few more steamed buns and prepared to leave the city.
It's obvious that finding medicine-using people in the city is not an option.
Qinghe City is located on the border of the Yu Kingdom.
The city is tall and ancient, and although it is not exactly lush and vibrant, it is quite lively.
Many merchants stayed here.
Today, it seems that cultivators from various sects have gathered here.
Men and women carrying weapons can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Although disciples of the Demon Exorcism Sect are allowed to enter this place, if they openly search for medicine people here, the consequences will likely be severe.
Other righteous disciples obviously wouldn't sit idly by.
Even between two righteous sects, there may be various grudges and affections between their disciples, let alone between the demonic sect.
The disciples of both sides are probably irreconcilable enemies, with neither good nor evil able to coexist.
Today was Luo Qingchen's first time entering this city. She strolled around the streets and had a meal, fulfilling a childhood dream.
Backtrack.
As he passed the Jinxiu Cloth Shop, he unconsciously stopped again.
But he only stopped for a glance before continuing on his way.
Everyone has their own life.
Now that he's a disciple of the Demonic Sect, there's no need for him to make other people's lives even more chaotic.
Moreover, his current situation is far worse than others.
"Luo Qingchen!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind.
It felt strange, yet somehow familiar.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look.
At the entrance of the Brocade Cloth Shop, a beautiful young woman dressed in a snow-white dress and holding a sword stood gracefully on the steps, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Fei Xue, do you know him?"
Several other girls came out of the shop and surrounded the girl, asking her questions while curiously looking her over.
Other pedestrians on the road also stopped to watch out of curiosity.
On one side was a pristine, ethereal, and radiant fairy from a prestigious family; on the other side was a boy dressed in coarse cloth, covered in dust, and looking rather embarrassed.
Luo Qingchen did not respond, lowered her head, and prepared to leave.
The girl suddenly said again, "Luo Qingchen, what's wrong? Are you pretending not to know me?"
She stood on the steps, looking down at the crowd of young girls, like a beautiful and noble gem, shining with a brilliance that made people afraid to look directly at her.
You've mistaken me for someone else.
Luo Qingchen walked forward.
"stop!"
She snapped, "I haven't mistaken you for someone else, you are Luo Qingchen!"
Just then, a person suddenly walked out of the shop and called out, "Ah Chen!"
Luo Qingchen stopped in her tracks.
Wang Ziliang looked at him with surprise, but suddenly sensed that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right.
He turned to look at the girl beside him, and as if he suddenly realized something, his face turned ugly.
One is a demonic sect, the other is a righteous sect.
Good and evil cannot coexist.
"See? I told you I hadn't mistaken you for someone else! You are Luo Qingchen!"
Xue Feixue said with a hint of smugness.
A girl standing nearby asked, "Feixue, was he also your childhood friend from Qingshui Town?"
Xue Feixue smiled and stared at the figure, saying, "Yes, he's the same as Wang Ziliang. But..."
Wang Ziliang looked at her with a grim expression.
Everyone else looked at her curiously, wanting to hear what "but" meant.
Luo Qingchen prepared to leave.
"But he's different. He's still my fiancé, my childhood sweetheart fiancé."
Xue Feixue's face revealed a half-smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
"fiancé?"
"Fei Xue, really? He's your fiancé?"
"What?! You already had a fiancé?"
The other girls from Snow Jade Palace were both surprised and incredulous.
Other pedestrians on the street also looked on with amusement.
"Luo Qingchen, tell them, am I telling the truth?"
Snow is not a snowy road.
Luo Qingchen did not respond.
Xue Feixue then looked at Wang Ziliang beside her and said, "Wang Ziliang, what do you say?"
Wang Ziliang hurriedly pleaded in a low voice, "Feixue, please...please don't do this, Achen, Achen is so pitiful..."
Clearly, the girl was preparing to humiliate Ah Chen in public.
Upon hearing this, Xue Feixue snorted coldly: "He's pitiful? He's living the high life in the Demon Sect, surrounded by so many beautiful witches. He's having a wonderful time! I'm the one who's all alone and miserable!"
"The Demonic Sect?"
The moment those two words were uttered, the expressions of everyone, from the girl beside her to the people on the street, changed.
Wang Ziliang was both shocked and regretful.
He was the one who told the girl, Ah Chen, where she was now.
Who would have thought that she would say it in public!
Is she trying to get rid of him completely and then escape that youthful, naive engagement?
Luo Qingchen didn't linger and walked quickly forward.
Xue Feixue suddenly said, "Luo Qingchen! How dare you pretend you don't know me! You entered the Demon Sect and now you think you're so outstanding and amazing, and look down on me? Do you regret our engagement and want to break it off?"
Luo Qingchen paused for a moment.
Xue Feixue added, "It's fine to annul the engagement, but remember to bring 100,000 taels of silver as compensation to Xueyu Palace to find me! The marriage certificate will be given to you then!"
Luo Qingchen left quickly.
The room fell silent for a few breaths.
A young woman from Snow Jade Palace couldn't help but say, "Fei Xue, what are you just saying? You're telling that boy to come and break off the engagement? And demand 100,000 taels of silver as compensation? Are you dreaming? That boy is practically forcing you to get married, how could he possibly break off the engagement?"
"Exactly, Junior Sister Xue, are you crazy? Shouldn't you be the one to break off the engagement, give him a huge sum of money as compensation, and make him stop bothering you?"
Another girl's lips twitched as she spoke.
Xue Feixue watched the rapidly receding figure and sneered, "As a genius disciple of the Snow Jade Palace, how could I possibly do such a shameful thing? Naturally, I'll make him come to the Snow Jade Palace to beg me for compensation. Have you ever seen me beg anyone for anything?"
After saying that, she walked down the steps, preparing to leave.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned to a woman standing at the entrance of the Brocade Cloth Shop and said, "Remember, if you ever dare to curse Wang Ziliang again... Hmph, you just saw it yourself, that man was Wang Ziliang's good brother! He'll be a notorious demon kingpin of the Demonic Sect in the future, a ruthless killer! If he gets angry, he might capture your whole family, skin them alive, chop them up, and use them to make medicine!"
The woman was Wang Ziliang's aunt.
He had just been lectured by the girl from Xueyu Palace in the shop and was already trembling with fear. Hearing these words again, he was terrified and his legs were shaking. He hurriedly promised that he would never scold Wang Ziliang again.
"Let's go!"
Xue Feixue waved to her senior sisters who were still looking at each other in bewilderment, then gracefully left in her flowing white dress.
