Along with the voice, a silhouette same out from a corner and it was GuJunxian!
His appearance made Gu Gaoyi fl.u.s.tered slightly. At that moment in time,he really wish his son had not done that. The Cheng’s were no weaklingsanymore; not even he himself, Gu Gaoyi, would dare underestimate them.
Not to mention that he has yet to figure out this Elder Ying of theCheng’s. From his aura, Gu Gaoyi pegged him as apex martial emperor at the veryminimum. He was not someone that the Gu’s could afford to mess with.
But now his son has just….
Thinking of that, Gu Gaoyi couldn’t help but casted a glance at theCheng’s father and daughter. This was when he noticed that neither one of themwere surprised to see Gu Junxian there!
His heart sank with a loud “thump”!
With all eyes were on him, GuJunxian suddenly felt that he was the center of attention; not to mention thatthese were all master and expert level cultivators. And they were all lookingat him. That really appealed to his vanity. At that very moment, he felt asthough he was the most important person.
What he didn’t was that both Cheng Biyuan and Cheng Xiao Xiao had beenexpecting him to stand up. In fact, they’d be very surprised if he didn’t.
Watching the guy who was approaching her one step at a time, Cheng XiaoXiao looked nonchalant, as though she didn’t see him at all. He wasn’t worthher time.
The more she seemed at ease Gu Junxian, the more angry he got. He staredat intently with a stone-cold smile.
Old Man Ying frowned and was just about to take some action before ChengXiao Xiao hinted for him to stand down.
She wouldn’t let him take any action, nor would she expect her father totake any actions. The reason being that it was Gu Gaoyi who was standing up,but someone junior.
When the attendees saw Gu Junxian, they all exchanged looks with eachother. They were quite surprised to see him there, did the two family have badblood between them now?
Most of those from one of the prominent families have more or less heardabout how Cheng Biyuan lost all his cultivation and the Gu’s have not been intouch with them for the past five or six years. As for the betrothal betweenthem, they have heard a little bit about it as well; and they were about tofind out whether that was true or not.
Gu Junxian continued to walk toward Cheng Xiao Xiao in his elegantstride with a cold smile on his face. When he was just about five steps away,he stopped.
“Cheng Xiao Xiao, whether your family is broke or rich, I don’t care.Today, in front of everybody, I am calling off our betrothal. From this pointforward, there is no longer a tie between us and we are free to marry anyone wewant.”
Gu Junxian said loudly as he stood with his back straight in the mostrighteous tone. In fact, he was so loud that even the entire Willow heard him.
“Oh?” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao. A shallow smile on her fair face and sheasked in response, “Who are you? Are you sure you are at the right place? Who’sbetrothed to you? Do you mean me? How come I wasn’t aware of it? You have somesort of proof?”
“Yu!” Gu Junxian fl.u.s.tered immediately. His betrothal with Cheng XiaoXiao was but a casual verbal agreement there were no writing or anything.
In other words, this betrothal could be real, could be not real.
There were no proof of that!
Speechless from Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words, Gu Junxian turned and looked atCheng Biyuan, “Uncle Cheng, have you forgotten your own words as well?”
