Chapter 309 As If She Could Defy Heaven
Li Yuechan’s scoff caused Li Muyang to pause.
He furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, and, after flipping through the memories of his original self, recalled that indeed such an incident had occurred.
Back then, the original owner of this body had been desperate to become Ning Wan’er’s loyal follower, leading to a fallout with his parents.
Li Damu believed that Li Muyang was confused by a young miss from the Ning family because he was unmarried.
So, Li Damu sought out a matchmaker and arranged a marriage for the original owner with a Miss Du, hoping to break his obsession with Ning Wan’er.
They wanted the original owner to give up on pursuing Ning Wan’er for good.
The Miss Du seemed to be quite attractive. At first, the original body vehemently refused, but after meeting her once, he wavered.
With the coaxing of his parents, as well as the Ning family’s high threshold that filled the Li family with despair, he reluctantly accepted the marriage arrangement.
——Marrying Ning Wan’er was too difficult with the wealth and power of the Li family.
The original owner, still a youth at heart, eventually chose to give up under immense pressure.
Everything was going smoothly, the three letters and six rites, all the preliminary ceremonies were completed, lacking only the final auspicious wedding day to bring her home as his bride.
But then an outrageous incident occurred.
Before the wedding, the original owner happened to meet Ning Wan’er, chatted briefly, and as she left, she smiled and congratulated him on his marriage, wishing him happiness in his new life.
The original owner asked her one question, “When will you be married?”
Ning Wan’er smiled wistfully and shook her head, “I probably won’t get married…”
Ning Wan’er, this little green tea, was very indifferent to marriage, exploiting her suitors with mixed signals.
It wasn’t surprising she didn’t intend to marry; the small ambition of this green tea was too strong.
In Li Muyang’s view, Ning Wan’er wouldn’t easily bind herself to any man.
He saw through this little green tea’s nature very clearly.
But the original owner wasn’t so clever.
Ning Wan’er’s words led him to a complete misunderstanding, thinking Ning Wan’er had him in her heart and was hurt by his engagement, deciding therefore not to marry in this lifetime.
The original owner, with his peculiar thinking, immediately imagined a heap of dramatic scenarios.
What if she harbors feelings for me, but can’t openly say it? Did my marriage hurt her? Is she even deciding not to marry in her lifetime, just wishing to watch me from afar?
Complicated and odd thoughts like these excited the original owner, who rushed home to confront his parents, wanting to call off his own marriage.
He had to propose to the Ning family, no matter what it took.
Even if it meant squandering his entire family’s fortune, he would come up with the silver coins demanded by Ning Wan’er’s father and take Wan’er home.
Such reckless actions infuriated Li Damu.
Li Damu, a martial man, was so angered that blood rushed to his head, and he slapped the original owner twice, nearly knocking him unconscious.
Unable to call off the marriage or propose as he wished, the original body, too, was so enraged that blood rushed to his head, and in front of all the neighbors, he stormed out of the house, shouting the scandalous phrase “Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west”…
He believed it was his own lack of money and power that caused Wan’er’s heartache.
As long as he didn’t marry Miss Du and made a name for himself outside, when he returned home triumphant, Wan’er would surely be happy to marry him.
With grand ambitions, the original owner set foot in the gates of the Refinement Demon Sect.
Listening to his cheap little sister’s scoff, Li Muyang also silently browsed through the memories of the past.
He had run away, but this marriage was already arranged through the three letters and six rites, with only the final step of her entering his home remaining.
According to custom, Miss Du was almost considered the bride of the Li family.
If this marriage commitment wasn’t canceled, Miss Du wouldn’t be able to marry anyone else in the future.
After all, who would dare to snatch away the wife of a Direct Disciple of the Demon Sect before she had crossed the threshold…
Realizing all of this, Li Muyang let out a wordless sigh.
“I’ll write a letter to my family and ask them to cancel the marriage on my behalf,” Li Muyang said.
He really didn’t want to return to Jiuyuan City to face his original parents.
Li Yuechan innocently blinked her eyes and said, “This approach is indeed feasible, but it’s a bit too oppressive…”
Li Yuechan continued, “When the marriage was arranged, the marriage certificate was written by you in person, with friends and relatives as witnesses to the ceremony.”
“Now that you have become a Direct Disciple, yet with just a flimsy letter, you have your relatives cancel the marriage contract… tsk…”
Li Yuechan shook her head and said, “However, that Du family is just a minor family, not worth mentioning. Even if they are humiliated by this, they can only accept it obediently. Who let our family have both a Direct Disciple and a member of the Inner Sect now?”
“It’s unlikely that the Du family can turn the tide, and they will have to swallow this bitter pill themselves! To blame, it is only the Miss Du’s bad luck!”
Li Yuechan placed her hands on her hips, her tone extremely arrogant, a true third-rate villain.
Li Muyang listened with a black line on his face.
“Forget it, let me go back and think about it.”
Li Muyang turned around to leave, saying, “Before you leave, I will give you a definite answer.”
Li Yuechan’s brows danced with joy, “Great, brother! Ning Sister and I plan to depart for Jiuyuan City in five days, taking Elder Yan’s Flying Boat. We will be waiting for you then~~”
The cheerful laughter of his little sister trailed behind him as Li Muyang left without looking back.
Having been promoted to Direct Disciple, his living quarters had also changed; no longer was it that small bamboo house.
Senior Brother Cheng brought two young and delicate maids to take care of Li Muyang’s daily needs from now on.

They obediently followed Li Muyang back to the small bamboo house, packed up his clothes and luggage, and then moved to Li Muyang’s new residence.
An elegant and private courtyard awaited him, complete with rockeries, a pond, and a small bamboo forest.
Opposite the courtyard gate was the residence of another Direct Disciple, Ning Wan’er.
And the palace where Elder Yan Xiaoru of the Enforcement Hall resided was not far away.
This was undoubtedly the core area of the Enforcement Hall, with the two maids cheerfully and dutifully serving Li Muyang.
Li Muyang, who had experienced the turmoil in Tianjiao City, was gradually getting used to this life of being served.
However, after returning to his new home, Li Muyang only briefly surveyed the environment around the courtyard and familiarized himself with the layout, before he once again secluded himself in his room.
Secluded for cultivation.
This time it was a true cultivation retreat.
The anti-addiction system had not yet been lifted, although he could go into “Lethal Wild Grass” and frolic with Little Wild Grass.
But right now, Li Muyang was more interested in experiencing the effect of the high-quality Spiritual Medicine bestowed by the Demon Sect.
This was, after all, one of the top cultivation medicines in the cultivation world! Even those in the Purple Mansion Realm would be tempted.
He had forsaken the high-quality Spiritual Artifact given by the Sect and chose twenty high-quality Spiritual Medicines instead.
To him, the high-quality Spiritual Artifact’s cost-effectiveness was too low. With his current level of Mana, activating a high-quality Spiritual Artifact would consume a lot of Mana, not as good as exchanging them for Spiritual Medicine to improve his cultivation.
After all, he didn’t lack for Magic Artifacts.
Li Muyang sat cross-legged on the bed and directly took out a dark red pill.
As he took out the pill, a faint, delicate fragrance immediately filled the room.
Merely smelling this fragrance made Li Muyang feel much lighter.
High-quality Spirit Pills, indeed extraordinary in effect!
Li Muyang took a deep breath, swallowed the Spirit Pill, and began to refine it.
Being in the later stages of the Core Formation Realm, if he could quickly advance his cultivation and ascend another level, he would enter the Cave Profound Realm!
Getting closer to the Purple Mansion Realm, Li Muyang was eager to see the day he would ascend to the Purple Mansion, what expression Yan Xiaoru would have!
