I stood before the grand hall of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Draped in the Phoenix Crown and Cloud Robe, I felt no trace of joy.
Only endless sorrow and anger churned within my heart.
" Shanshan, it's time to go," came madam Wang's voice from behind me, laced with concern and reluctance.
I took a deep breath, striving to suppress the emotions threatening to burst forth.
Slowly, I stepped into the hall.
The red candles burned brightly, illuminating the guests gathered inside and revealing a face I once knew all too well.
Xiao Yifeng, clad in Wedding Attire, still looked handsome, but the warmth he once had was replaced by a hint of coldness and detachment.
I scoffed inwardly; this was merely a transaction, a deal he made to obtain the heart technique I possessed.
Suddenly, a white figure rushed into the hall, shattering the facade of calm.
" Yifeng, how could you do this to me?"
Su Jin stumbled toward Xiao Yifeng, her clothes disheveled, tears streaming down her face like a delicate flower battered by wind and rain.
"Jin'er, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yifeng's expression turned frantic, surprise and impatience flashing in his eyes.
I watched coldly from the sidelines, filled with derision.
What a dramatic scene!
" Yifeng, you promised to marry me!"
Su Jin cried, her tears flowing like rain, her voice piercing like a sharp knife into my heart.
Xiao Yifeng was at a loss, his eyes flickering, unable to meet my gaze.
"You shameless woman, how dare you ruin my son's wedding!"
Xiao Zhiyuan shouted angrily, his eyes filled with fury and murderous intent.
I raised my hand to stop him, my gaze as cold as frost.
"Wait."
The entire venue fell silent, all eyes turning to me, filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and a hint of fear.
I slowly removed the jade bracelet from my wrist, the only keepsake left to me by my mother, and once a cherished token of love for Xiao Yifeng.
"It seems my fiancé has some explaining to do."
My voice was icy, devoid of any emotion yet brimming with power, causing Xiao Yifeng's face to turn pale instantly.
" Shanshan, let me explain..."
Xiao Yifeng's voice trembled, tinged with panic and pleading.
"Explain? Save it."
I ruthlessly interrupted him and turned to Su Jin, a trace of mockery flashing in my eyes.
" Elder Su, did Xiao Yifeng really agree to marry you?"
"There must be a reason, right?"
My tone was aggressive, causing Su Jin's expression to change slightly.
She bit her lip, a flicker of hesitation and struggle crossing her eyes.
"I... I am Yifeng's true love."
At her words, the crowd erupted in an uproar, murmurs filling the air as sympathetic and pitying gazes turned towards me.
I looked coldly at Xiao Yifeng, my heart brimming with anger and disappointment.
"This is your explanation?"
My voice was icy, like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
Xiao Yifeng had no words to respond, his face pale as paper, eyes filled with pain and turmoil.
" Yifeng, are you really going to abandon me?"
Su Jin cried even harder, her voice piercing like a dagger into my heart.
Xiao Yifeng suddenly shook off her hand, a glimmer of resolve flashing in his eyes.
"Enough!"
He turned to me, a hint of apology in his gaze, quickly replaced by determination.
" Shanshan, I'm sorry."
"I love Su Jin."
"This engagement is hereby annulled!"
His voice was firm and undeniable, like a heavy hammer striking my heart.
I looked at him coldly, a whirlwind of complex emotions swirling within me—anger, sadness, and relief.
"Xiao Yifeng, do you even know what you're saying?"
Xiao Zhiyuan was furious, pointing a finger at Xiao Yifeng and scolding loudly.
"Are you really going to abandon Shanshan for a worthless woman?"
"Father!"
Xiao Yifeng shouted back sharply, his eyes filled with anger and defiance.
"Su Jin is not worthless; she is the one I love!"
He stood protectively in front of Su Jin, like a lion guarding its cub, his gaze unwavering and resolute.
Xiao Zhiyuan's face turned pale with rage, raising his hand as if to strike.
Xiao Yifeng stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Su Jin.
"Father, if you want to hit someone, hit me instead!"
His voice was strong, filled with love and protection for Su Jin.
" Yifeng..."
Su Jin was filled with emotion, her eyes brimming with love and admiration.
Xiao Yifeng looked at her tenderly, his gaze full of affection.
"Jin'er, don't be afraid."
"From now on, I will always protect you."
He turned to the crowd, his voice loud and filled with confidence and determination.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I want to make a public announcement."
"I, Xiao Yifeng, will only love Su Jin in this life!"
"From now on, I will definitely take her as my wife and never go back on my word!"
His voice echoed throughout the hall like a thunderclap, ringing in everyone's ears.
Su Jin was overwhelmed with joy, throwing herself into Xiao Yifeng's arms. The two embraced publicly, expressing their love without a care for those around them.
The entire hall was stunned, whispers filled the air as everyone looked at me with eyes full of sympathy and pity.
I watched coldly, my heart a mix of emotions, like a jar of mixed flavors spilled over—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy—all kinds of tastes surged within me.
Suddenly, a dull thud broke the commotion in the hall.
"Not good, the Deputy Master has fainted!"
Xiao Zhiyuan collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in pain, breathing rapidly as if he had suddenly fallen ill.
"Father!"
Xiao Yifeng finally came to his senses and hurriedly ran to Xiao Zhiyuan's side, his eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
However, Xiao Zhiyuan forcefully pushed him away, his eyes brimming with anger and disappointment.
"Get lost... you ungrateful son..."
His voice was weak yet filled with strength, like a sharp sword piercing into Xiao Yifeng's heart.
I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Xiao Yifeng, you truly are a hopeless romantic, willing to abandon everything for the sake of so-called true love, even defying your own father.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems this wedding cannot proceed today."
My voice was cold and devoid of any emotion, yet it carried immense power, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
"However, since everyone is here..."
"Why not allow me to say a few words?"
My tone was calm but carried an undeniable authority that rendered the crowd silent.
I took a deep breath, striving to steady my emotions, my gaze resolutely sweeping over the audience.
"I, Li Shanshan, hereby announce today..."
"That I am withdrawing from my engagement with Xiao Yifeng."
"At the same time, I will also be leaving the Xiaoyao Sect to establish my own path!"
My voice rang out loud and powerful, like a thunderclap echoing in everyone's ears.
As soon as the words left my mouth, the crowd erupted in an uproar, murmurs of shock and confusion filling the air as they turned their gazes toward me.
" Elder Li, have you lost your mind?"
Xiao Zhiyuan shouted loudly, his eyes filled with anger and confusion.
"Do you even know what you're saying?"
I let out a cold laugh, unafraid as I met his gaze directly.
" Acting Sect Master Xiao, I know exactly what I'm saying."
"Since both you and your father value Su Jin so much..."
"Why should I humiliate myself?"
My tone was firm and unquestionable, like a sharp sword piercing Xiao Zhiyuan's heart.
"Shanshan, don't be impulsive..."
Xiao Yifeng tried to intervene, his eyes filled with regret and reluctance.
I interrupted him, my voice icy and devoid of any emotion.
"Xiao Yifeng, how can you still have the face to speak?"
"Weren't you quite vocal just now?"
My tone dripped with sarcasm and disdain, leaving Xiao Yifeng speechless, his face turning red with shame.
I turned to Su Jin, a hint of mockery flashing in my eyes.
" Elder Su, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
"However, I advise you to be careful."
"A man who changes his mind so easily, who knows if he will abandon you for some benefit?"
My tone was icy, like a sharp sword piercing Su Jin's heart, causing her face to turn pale in an instant.
I looked around, and a wave of desolation surged within me. Once, I thought this place was my home, filled with the people I loved, but now it had become the last place I wanted to be.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let this farce end here."
"From now on, I, Li Shanshan, have no ties with Xiaoyao Sect."
"Farewell!"
I turned to leave without a trace of reluctance, my back resolute, like a blooming poppy flower—beautiful yet fraught with danger.
"Wait!"
A voice rang out, clear and melodious yet carrying an air of authority that instantly captured everyone's attention.
It was the former sect leader, Xiao Jingyan!
