Chapter 1631 - 1596: Dissolving the Engagement

"Breaking off an engagement?"

Gai Cheng, the Clan Leader of the Wind Eagle Clan and father of Gai Shaoying, stood on the steps, looking at Gu Yezhi.

The Ancient Clan has endured for thousands of years, and as long as there are no direct blood ties between members, intermarriage is allowed.

After the Ancient Clan split into four main tribes, the Wind Eagle Clan became the most powerful because it possessed the Wind Eagle Divine Skill's Divine Beast Totem, which greatly enhanced the effectiveness of Genetic Evolution Methods when cultivated.

Yezi was the daughter of the Heavenly Dragon Clan's Clan Leader, and she had a good relationship with Shaoying since childhood.

At that time, to allow his daughter to learn the Wind Eagle Divine Skill, the Heavenly Dragon Clan Leader proposed an engagement between the two children. That way, Yezi's cultivation of the Wind Eagle Divine Skill would no longer be considered as an outsider, but instead as the future daughter-in-law of the Wind Eagle Clan.

Gai Cheng also agreed to this proposal.

However, as the two children grew older, their personalities began to show some discordant notes.

Gu Yezhi's Genetic Evolution Level kept increasing, while Shaoying remained increasingly ordinary.

Later, Yezi's father used a friend's connection to enroll Yezi in a Genetic Evolution School under the Blood Wolf Clan, one of the top ten clans, where she advanced rapidly over a few years.

As Gu Yezhi's cultivation level increased, she grew more and more disdainful of Gai Shaoying.

She had seen the world and realized that outside there was an even more powerful world. She didn't want her future to be confined to the remote Nolan Valley City.

Gu Yezhi, beautiful and charming, became the object of pursuit for many males. During her studies at the Blood Wolf Clan, many pursued her, and she ultimately chose the son of the Deputy Commander of the Blood Wolf Clan.

Because he could help her get into the Blood Wolf Clan's highest-level Genetic Evolution School.

In Dwarf Star, the current Ancient Clan is weak, so all Ancient Clan members have an unspoken sense of inferiority and oppression, mingled with a deep-seated dream of becoming strong again.

Others did not have the opportunity, but Gu Yezhi did, and she was determined to seize it.

This breakup of the engagement was her insistence, and her father, unable to face his old friend Gai Cheng, had to send the clan's Great Elder instead.

Gai Cheng turned and looked at Guluo,

"Yezi wants to break the engagement, whose idea was this?"

Guluo said lightly:

"Gai Cheng, forced unions are not sweet. As you can see, the gap between Gai Shaoying and Yezi is too large; they are no longer suitable for each other. Separation is the best choice."

"Humph, back then, it was you who suggested the engagement so you could learn our Wind Eagle Clan's Evolution Divine Skill. Now, with the Wind Eagle Divine Skill mastered, after studying outside for a few years, you look down on our Wind Eagle Clan and come to break the engagement?"

Guluo awkwardly smiled and said:

"Brother Gai Cheng, please calm down. Our Clan Leader also didn't want this to happen. But the children have grown up and have their own minds. Yezi doesn't want it, so we cannot force her to marry Shaoying, can we?"

Yezi stood among the crowd and bowed to Gai Cheng:

"Uncle Cheng, I'm sorry, breaking the engagement is my decision. My father was also against it, but I was adamant about terminating my engagement to Shaoying,

As you saw, the gap between Shaoying and me is growing. Shaoying just used all his strength, and I only used about 60% of my combat power,

I don't like weaklings, so regardless of whether you agree to break the engagement or not, I won't agree to this marriage,

Breaking the engagement is our fault, so we are mainly here to offer apologies to you and Brother Shaoying,

The breaking-off agreement could be led by you, you could publicly say it was proposed by you, to protect your Wind Eagle Clan's reputation,

Furthermore, we have a small compensation for Brother Shaoying."

The young girl took out a bottle from her Space Ring and with a wave of her hand, it flew toward Gai Cheng.

"This is a unique Elixir Medicine from the Blood Wolf Clan, a Breakthrough Pill. I know Shaoying has been stuck at the King Level Peak, unable to break through to the Empire Level Realm. With this Breakthrough Pill, Brother Shaoying can easily break through to the Empire Level Realm."

"Breakthrough Pill?"

Many in the Wind Eagle Clan called out softly.

Everyone was very hopeful about the Breakthrough Pill.

Gai Cheng glanced at his son, feeling a great sorrow, and said:

"Shaoying, this marriage is yours, it's your choice. No matter what you decide, your father will support you."

Gai Shaoying gave a bitter smile, looking at Gu Yezhi,

"Yezi, let me ask you one thing; everyone says you and the son of the Blood Wolf Clan's Deputy Commander are together. Is that true?"

Gu Yezhi looked at Gai Shaoying and loudly said:

"Brother Shaoying, I suggest you travel across the Dwarf Star Continent, especially to visit the top ten clans and the Divine City. You will find that our Ancient Clan is already at the bottom of Dwarf Star,

and if this continues, our Ancient Clan will inevitably perish,

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, where might is right, the weak do not deserve love. You don't deserve love, nor do I,

My feelings and life belong to our Heavenly Dragon Clan, you could also say they belong to the entire Ancient Clan,

Eight years ago, to learn the Wind Eagle Divine Skill, I agreed to marry you, but later I realized that even with the Wind Eagle Divine Skill, I could not become a strong person in this world, nor revive our Heavenly Dragon and Ancient Clans.

So, I went to study under the Blood Wolf Clan,

As you have seen, I have become stronger,

But it is still not enough. I need to become even stronger. I want to enter the Blood Wolf Clan's highest Genetic Cultivation School,

I am an outsider, and the Blood Wolf Clan's highest Genetic Evolution Academy never accepts outsiders unless I become a clan member's wife,

Am I making myself clear?"

The entire scene fell into a dead silence.

Gai Shaoying bowed his head in shame, and even Gai Cheng was utterly embarrassed.

Gu Yezhi had sacrificed her love for the strength of the Ancient Clan.

As the males of the Ancient Clan could not accomplish this, it is indeed a shame for the entire Ancient Clan to force a woman to sacrifice her feelings to plead with outsiders!

Gai Shaoying had never felt so humiliated in his life; he lowered his head and said in a helpless tone:

"Fine, it's my own incompetence, I can't blame you. I agree to break off the engagement; I also don't need the Breakthrough Pill. Take it back."

Yezi looked at Shaoying, a bit reluctant, and said:

"Brother Shaoying, I know you feel hurt, but please accept this Breakthrough Pill. It can save you resources and reduce your cultivation time. As the Clan Leader's son, this is important to you."

"Heh, even if I, Gai Shaoying, die, I won't use a thing begged from another man by my fiancée. Go, and take care of yourself!"

Gu Yezhi said nothing more. After she completed her task, she had no intention of staying.

Gu Yezhi took out a contract to dissolve the engagement and handed it to Gai Shaoying.

"Please sign and stamp your fingerprint."

Gai Shaoying received the contract of dissolution, bit his finger, and directly stamped a fingerprint on it before throwing it back to Yezi and walking out of the courtyard without looking back.
