Although Ling Yu Changqing had always been good to her, and her status and position were always beyond her reach, now that she and her brother had shown extraordinary talents, everything was different.
She no longer had to deliberately please that sickly guy, and she no longer had to live under someone else's roof, and she had to be humble and live with dignity and respect.
She, Tang Ziqi, had a brighter future and deserved a better husband, so why waste time on that sickly guy.
Although she was reluctant to part with the betrothal gifts sent by the Chang family branch, there were indeed rules in the clan that those who regretted the marriage had to return the betrothal gifts double. Now that the sickly guy was dead, it was really God helping her. If she didn't cancel the engagement now, when would she?
Originally, Tang Zichen had hoped that she could cancel the engagement when Changqing disappeared, but she deliberately delayed for some time and came to cancel the engagement two full months later.
Anyway, Ling Yu Changqing would never survive, and it would be the same whether she canceled the engagement early or late. This also made her look more loyal and maintained her image.
In fact, what no one knew was that the cancellation of the engagement had been planned for a long time.
Tang Zichen's talent was naturally due to his innate acupoints.
Long before the trial of the cultivator, Tang Ziqi had already known about her brother's extraordinary talent, and the clan leader had already brought her to his side and secretly cultivated her.
As Tang Zichen's biological sister, Tang Ziqi also benefited from it and had an extraordinary status.
At that time, she had already thought of canceling the engagement.
However, according to the rules of the clan, the party who regretted the engagement had to return the betrothal gifts twice, so she thought of forcing Ling Yuchangqing to participate in the trial of the cultivator. If he died in the trial, wouldn't it be considered that she regretted the engagement?
The fool really got the idea, and couldn't resist her provocation, and actually participated in the trial of the cultivator.
After the trial, not only did she become a genius of the fifth turn of the innate, but Ling Yuchangqing also died. It was really God who was helping her.
"Clan leader, I don't agree!" Xiao Bingzhen smashed the armrest of the chair with one palm, stood up and shouted angrily.
"This bitch forced my nephew to participate in the monk trial. My nephew's death is related to her. And why did she insist on him participating in the trial? There is something fishy here!"
"Even if she forced him, Ling Yu Changqing also had an accident during the trial. It's not others' fault. What's more, the person is dead. Even if she doesn't come to cancel the engagement, what else do you want?"
The clan leader frowned and said unhappily.
"She wants to break off the engagement, fine. I don't want any double betrothal gifts, I just want her to return all the wealth and resources my nephew has given her over the years! Otherwise, let her wear mourning for my nephew and be a widow for the rest of her life. If she doesn't want to, let her be buried with him!"
"Nonsense!"
The clan leader slammed the table, "Come on, take Elder Xiao to the Siguo Hall and let her reflect on herself!"
"Wait."
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded outside the door of the family meeting room.
"Since it is my lifelong event, how can I be absent?"
Outside the door, a young man walked in.
The young man was wearing a black robe. Although his shoulders were broad, his body was thin and frail. His figure was like a hollow scarecrow stuck in the field.
He had a handsome face, thin lips, narrow eyebrows and eyes, but his face was pale and his eyes were deep, and he looked like he was going to die soon.
The strangest thing was his hair, half black and half white waist-length hair, which looked extremely weird.
If he is a terminally ill patient, I am afraid no one would be surprised.
Who else could this person be if not Chang Qing?
"I am Ling Yu Chang Qing, a junior. I am late. I hope the clan leader will forgive me."
The entire meeting hall fell into silence because of his arrival.
The Tang brothers and sisters were stunned on the spot, as if they had seen a ghost.
Only Xiao Bingzhen, after being stunned for a moment, immediately pushed away the two members of the family's law enforcement hall beside her, rushed up and hugged him.
Chang Qing patted her back and said softly.
"Auntie, it's okay, I'm back."
Xiao Bingzhen let go of Chang Qing and held his face again, with joy and anxiety in her voice.
"Chang Qing, how did you get into this state?"
She gently lifted a strand of Chang Qing's white hair, tears in her eyes.
"It's a long story."
Patting Xiao Bingzhen's shoulder, he turned his head and looked at the clan leader in the center of the meeting room.
"Clan leader, my aunt is also worried about my safety. Now that I have returned safely, she will not embarrass the Tang brothers and sisters again. I wonder if the clan leader can forgive my aunt this time. There are outsiders here. You are too strict with my aunt. Isn't it a joke for people to see."
He deliberately emphasized the word "outsider" and winked at Xiao Bingzhen. Seeing this, Xiao Bingzhen hurriedly bowed her head and said.
"Clan leader, I know I was wrong. PleaseClan leader, please forgive me this time."
Ling Yu Changqing is the heir of the Chang branch after all, and he survived this time, so his words still carry a certain weight. In addition, the clan leader's actions represent the attitude of the Ling Yu family. If he blindly protects outsiders and punishes his own elders, it is indeed inappropriate.
Xiao Bingzhen is not stupid either. She gave the clan leader enough respect and a way out in time, so the clan leader naturally couldn't punish her too much.
"I will fine you one month's salary. The head of the Chang branch is seriously ill now, and he can't be present for the engagement. You are Ling Yu Changqing's elder, so stay here for the time being and make the decision for him."
"Thank you, clan leader. "
Xiao Bingzhen bowed and thanked him.
Seeing this, Chang Qing also put his mind at ease for the time being. He turned his head and looked at the several large boxes of spirit stones in the center of the ceremony hall. He walked over, patted one of the boxes with his hand, and asked.
"Excuse me, everyone. I just came back from the forbidden land after a long journey. I changed my clothes at the mansion and didn't even have time to drink water. I heard about the cancellation of the engagement and hurried over. I'm really tired. Can I sit for a while?"
Although it was a questioning tone, before anyone could answer, Chang Qing sat on it by himself, with one foot on the other box, his posture lazy.
He raised his chin to the Tang brothers and sisters in front of him and asked condescendingly.
"Cancelling the engagement is no problem. It's just the betrothal gift returned by you two Tangs..."
As he said, he grabbed a handful of spirit stones from the box beside him and threw them at Tang Zichen's feet with disdain.
"Isn't it a little less? "
As early as when he came out of the Hundred Flowers Cave, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and many memories of the original owner of this body suddenly appeared in his mind.
In short, it was a boring life of being in a high position but knowing that he was destined to fall into the mortal world, so he gave up on himself and only liked that Tang Ziqi.
It is worth mentioning that the process of the original body entering the Hundred Flowers Cave revealed obvious conspiracy, as if someone was deliberately trying to murder him.
The entrance to the Hundred Flowers Cave is deep in the Yingyang Valley, in an extremely remote cave in the clan's forbidden area.
In his memory, the original body was knocked unconscious from behind when he participated in the so-called monk trial, and when he woke up, he was He was locked in a cave, and the entrance was blocked by a huge rock.
In a panic, he touched a strange rock in the cave, which was the medium to the Hundred Flowers Cave.
"It seems that someone knows the existence of the Hundred Flowers Cave and wants to get rid of me and kill me invisibly, so they set up such a trap..."
After recalling everything, at Dan Ji's suggestion, he chose to return to the Lingyu family first, instead of traveling alone.
Dan Ji is a giant of the evil way, and naturally experienced. According to Chang Qing's description, she concluded that the Lingyu family should be just a third-rate small family, without a master sitting in, and the vision and knowledge are very limited. Chang Qing is in it, and his secrets will not be exposed. Risk is just right for him to start.
After all, his current strength is too weak, and he has to go to Baihua Cave regularly to absorb inheritance, so it is not suitable for him to travel far away rashly.
The original body seems to have a certain status in the family. It is a good idea to grow up under the protection of the family.
According to Dan Ji, the evil monks are like horseflies parasitic in the flesh and blood. Chang Qing originally wanted to find a small sect or a small family to join and suck their blood.
This is just right, even the effort of searching is saved, Lingyu Family is just right for Chang Qing to survive at this stage.
Looking at Tang Ziqi who pretended to be calm in front of him, Chang Qing sneered in his heart.
In the original owner's memory, Tang Ziqi was as beautiful as a fairy, but now it is obvious that the original owner has added too many filters to her.
This Tang Ziqi is far from being comparable to the white moonlight in his heart, Ye Qinghe Luo Hongyan. Even if she is thrown into the Hundred Flowers Cave, she can't reach the level of being indistinguishable from the crowd. At best, she can only be regarded as slightly pretty.
However, this girl is young, but she is quite scheming. Chang Qing is so insidious and cunning that he has long discovered from the original body's memory that she deliberately urged the original body to participate in the cultivator trial.
"I guess she also contributed to the death of the original body, but I don't know what the purpose is. Is it just to regret the engagement? I need to study it carefully."
