Yan Huan'er sighed softly before turning to ask Gu Zhan. "Shouldn't you already know the reason, Zhan'er? You were Lian'er's fiancé, but you cheated on her by having a relationship with some of your sect sisters. Moreover, she has warned you repeatedly to stop your lascivious nature, but you always ignore her warnings, so it's natural that she wants to cancel her engagement with you, right?" "I-" "Heh! Aren't you going to deny that?" Ye Lian shook her head, then pulled out a storage ring that held the items Gu Zhan had given her. "Since you prioritize your lust and enjoy your time with those women more, I decided to let you go because I don't want to have a treacherous husband." *Swoosh* Gu Zhan immediately caught the storage ring Ye Lian threw as he continued to glare fiercely at her, but he quickly released his cultivation and crushed it. Seeing that, Xing Mei grabbed her son's hand and asked him to return the things Ye Lian had given him, and Gu Zha reluctantly complied with his mother's request. Like her ex-fiancé, Ye Lian also destroyed the storage ring because she no longer wanted to keep her old memories with him, especially since she had already made a decision about her future. "This way, our engagement is over, and we won't have any more relationships after this, so I hope you don't bother me again in the future, especially since I have already found the man who will be my husband in the future." Yan Huan'er was shocked to hear her daughter's words, as she didn't expect Ye Lian to reveal her relationship with Zhang Fei. As expected, Xing Mei was shocked by her revelation, but Gu Zhan's anger boiled after hearing that, and his facial muscles bulged. "Tell me! You deliberately broke off our engagement because you slept with him, right? Who is that man? I will definitely kill him because he stole you from me." "So what?" Ye Lian replied with an indifferent shrug. "You can sleep with those women; then why can't I sleep with another man? Moreover, he is much better than you because he didn't lie or cheat on me, and he explained everything before I decided to accept him." "You-" "Do you think you can kill him? Have you forgotten the lesson he gave you when we hunted the fire flower in Blazing Volcano Mountain?" Ye Lian decided to interrupt her ex-fiancé, and Gu Zhan's body stiffened after hearing that. "That's right; my future husband is Zhang Fei, and you should remember the identities of the people by his side. That's why you should forget about wanting to kill him; you will never be able to do it." Gu Zhan's expression turned even uglier after remembering the events of that day, and his hands gripped the arms of the chair he was sitting on, especially since he remembered Liu Hua's presence by Zhang Fei's side. Xing Mei, who had not said anything before, decided to ask Yan Huan'er. "Who exactly is Zhang Fei? Is he a member of the Zhang Clan in the Central Region?" "No." Yan Huan'er shook her head at Xing Mei. "Honestly, I have never met Zhang Fei in person; he is not a member of that clan, and he comes from another region." "Another region?" Xing Mei often traveled to various regions, but she had never heard of the existence of another Zhang Clan, so she felt confused about it. Yan Huan'er responded with a nod before telling her again. "Moreover, he is a member of the Liu and Chu Clans now, mainly because he is married to Liu Hua, Chu Qing, and Chu Ying." "What?" After listening to Yan Huan'er's answer, Gu Zhan was also as shocked as his mother, and Xing Mei asked her again. "Are you serious about that? I already knew about Liu Hua's return, but I never heard that he was married, let alone the marriage of those two little girls from the Chu Clan." "They married Zhang Fei a few days ago, but they only had a traditional wedding." Xing Mei immediately turned to Ye Lian and looked at her in confusion. "Like I said before, I already knew about their relationship before I knew him, and he didn't hide everything from me either. "No!" When she saw Boitata swallow her son alive, Xing Meng screamed desperately, and tears flowed freely from the corners of her eyes, especially since Gu Zhan was her only son. "Why... why did things have to turn out like this? Why are you not willing to spare my son?" "Hiss~" Instead, Boitata disdainfully looked at Xing Mei. "Your son's death was his own fault! My master will never spare anyone who dares to do bad things to those closest to him. If you are so sad about his death, I can send you to the afterlife to accompany him there." "No!" Both women shouted as they moved in front of Xing Mei, and Ye Lian immediately begged the snake. "Please don't kill her, Boitata. Aunt Mei didn't do anything wrong to me, so you shouldn't kill her." "Lian'er is right, Boitata." Yan Huan'er also tried to persuade her. "Sister Mei loves her very much, and she has always treated her like her own daughter, so I hope you are willing to let her go." Compared to both women, Botitata has lived for more than a thousand years, and she is very experienced in human character. That's why she didn't immediately agree to their request, especially since she thought that there was a possibility that Xing Mei would take revenge for her son's death against Ye Lian. She thought of the best plan to protect her, or else Zhang Fei would blame her if something bad happened to her. After she thought about it for a while, Boitata suddenly spewed her flame, and a small flame serpent similar to her quickly moved into Xing Mei's body through her mouth, shocking the three women, so she explained to Ye Lian. "I would let her go, but I couldn't let her go just like that, and I was forced to do that for her to protect you, especially since human hearts are hard to predict. At times, they may be allies, yet they can swiftly transform into adversaries without warning. As long as she doesn't have any evil intentions towards you, then it won't activate, but vice versa, and it will immediately destroy her internal organs." After she said that, Boitata's body quickly shrank to the size of a normal snake, and she immediately coiled around Ye Lian's arms again. Even though Boitata had done such a thing to Xing Mei, Ye Lian and Yan Huan'er felt relieved, especially since she was at least still alive. "Lian'er, you go back to the clan first, and I will accompany Sister Mei." Yan Huan'er spoke as she picked up Xing Mei, who looked devastated by her situation and her son's death, and immediately ushered her away to her room. Ye Lian sighed heavily before leaving the Gu Clan, but her feelings were filled with guilt over the terrible incident that happened to Xing Mei, and she blamed herself for disclosing her relationship with Zhang Fei. If she had not done that, Gu Zhan might not have attacked her, and he might not have died in Boitata's hands. - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1. Cultivator With Modern AI 2.
