04. Burning The Engagement Letter

"You and your daughter are truly cruel!" The first elder who was fond of Long Chen shouted. He never thought that Long Chen's transformation and the fall of the Long Family's genius were all because of the Li Family.

He now knew how Long Chen felt when he returned with this injury. As a man who sincerely loved a woman, to be betrayed so cruelly by the woman he already considered his wife was truly painful.

"It's not because we're cruel, it's because that boy is stupid! Hurry up, I don't want to know. Anyway, Long Chen must be here in an hour to break the engagement between him and my son." Li Jun's words added fuel to the fire, obviously making the entire Long family very angry.

"That..."

"Huh? Why is there so much noise here? Is there a party? Then I should eat well." A young man jumped out of the gate of the Long family with a relaxed and very excited face.

Seeing such a handsome and charming man appear in front of Long Hu made some women's hearts flutter. After all, Long Chen's good looks far surpassed those of any young man in Yulan City, and might even be unmatched on the eastern continent. When Li Jun saw that the handsome young man who suddenly appeared was full of contempt, he could sense that Long Chen's strength was only at the fourth level of the human realm. He was just a piece of trash in the Long family and even in Yulan City.

"Long Chen, you are nothing but useless trash now. So give me the betrothal letter to break the bond between you and my son."

"Ha! Engagement? Since when? And what letter did you say?" Long Chen looked stupid at Li Jun's words, more like he didn't realize that he had a fiancée.

"Do you want to destroy the Long family? Li Ziin is about to enter a first-class sect, and she's certainly got a better future than trash like you. So, I hope you break off the engagement between you and him so as not to disturb Ziin's future. Now, I hope you understand Uncle Li's point of view."

"B*****! You said not to interfere with your son's future? Then what did the Li family do to Chen's nephew? Isn't this the same as when you destroyed his future three years ago?"

Suddenly, Li Jun's words added fuel to the fire of the Long Family Elder's anger. This man dared to say that Long Chen had interfered with his son's future, but he didn't know that the Li family had destroyed Long Chen's future. Even Long Hu clenched his fists tightly and stared at Long Chen, who stood silently in front of him. The pain in Long Hu's heart over Long Chen's suffering made him hate the Li family.

If the Li family wanted to go to war with the Long family, he was willing to serve them. Even if he had to die, Long Hu was willing to die with Li Jun to quench the flames of his anger. Meanwhile, Long Chen, who people thought would be depressed, was silent for a while before acting strangely, rubbing his head in confusion.

"Haa... letter? Hm, where did I put that letter? I remember that time...!" Long Chen suddenly remembered something and immediately turned around to leave the people who were confused by his behavior without saying goodbye.

"Look! This kid has no manners, even though he's already 16, but look at him. That useless trash who doesn't have a future can be so rude in front of our esteemed Li family." One of the Li family elders boldly insulted Long Chen. He felt that Long Chen was already disrespectful to them and didn't care about the Li family.

"Do you dare to repeat your words?" Long Hu asked as he coldly looked at the elder. Long Hu's gaze made the elder's body tremble with fear, and he did not dare to utter a word.

Not for long, Long Chen returned with a wet paper filled with mud. Everyone's faces were shocked when they saw what kind of wet paper Long Chen had brought.

"What is this paper? It's completely worthless, so I'm using it instead of toilet cleaner, so I'm sorry Uncle Li if it smells and is full of dirt. This paper has changed hands a lot, that's why it's like this."

"Hahahahahaah!" Suddenly, the entire Long family burst out laughing at Long Chen's silly behavior, and they laughed even more freely after hearing Long Chen's innocent words. Some of the townspeople in Yulan who heard Long Chen's words could hardly contain their laughter. What the Li family probably didn't expect was that Long Chen had never considered the engagement letter as an important item to him, but rather as a dirt cleaner.

"Long Chen!" Li Jun looked at Long Chen in anger. He hadn't expected that the garbage boy in front of him would humiliate him in front of so many people from Yulan City.

"Why, Uncle? Is it too ugly? Then let me burn it." After saying this, Long Chen burned his engagement paper in front of the many people present. Although Long Chen was only at the fifth level of the human realm, it was easy for him to use only qi to start a fire.

Seeing the burnt engagement paper, the faces of the entire Li family changed. They had come to cancel the engagement to humiliate the Long family. But now the situation was reversed, Long Chen, who they considered to be bastard, had burned the engagement paper in front of many people, which meant that he had indirectly divorced Li Ziin.

Long Chen didn't care about the expressions of everyone there, especially the Li family. Since the incident three years ago, he hadn't even considered Li Ziin as his fiancée. Even in his eyes, the Li family was just an ordinary family in Yulan City.

"I heard that Li Ziin will be accepted into a first-class sect. Is that true, Uncle Li?"

"Yes, so what? You're just the bastard, so you're not worthy of my son. It's good that you understand the situation in the house that willingly broke off the engagement between you and her." An angry Li Jun tried to insult Long Chen further, but it didn't have the slightest effect on Long Chen's mentality.

"That's right, she's a genius. That's why I willingly gave Ziin a third-level sword spirit three years ago. He hasn't let the Li family down. I'm happy with Uncle Li's Ziin's success." Long Chen's words startled everyone present.
