Delayed Engagement Cancellation

After a while, Su Tianhai recovered from his shock and said excitedly, "Amazing! Our Su family has given birth to a true dragon! Hahaha!"

He laughed heartily and said, "As for these people... Zhan'er, since they are all experts in the Qi Sea Realm, they will definitely be of great help in strengthening our Su family!"

"So we will recruit them!"

Su Zhan nodded, not too worried.

Su Tianhai then patted Su Zhan's shoulder, happily saying, "My son, if it weren't for you killing everyone who wanted to cause trouble for our Su family today, our family would have suffered a great disaster! You hid your talent so well, my son! You even managed to deceive your father!"

Su Zhan smiled slightly, "Father, this is all thanks to your help with your medicinal ingredients, but are you sure I have killed everyone?"

After he finished speaking, Su Tianyun, who was standing behind, immediately froze and his face turned pale. He fell to the ground with both weak knees.

Plop!

"S-Su Zhan, Patriarch, I was confused earlier! I never intended to harm the Su family at all!"

"Well... I can't be sure if you intended to harm the Su family or not."

Su Zhan's eyes shone with coldness, and he immediately swung his sword, saying, "But it's clear that you wanted me dead, isn't it? There's no doubt about that!"

The Tianhan Sword Intent descended and immediately beheaded Su Tianyun.

"Father!"

Su Heng ran forward and knelt beside Su Tianyun, crying very sadly.

When the top pillar is not straight, the bottom pillars will be crooked.

(TN: Chinese idiom.)

Su Zhan glanced at Su Heng, turned around, and ignored him.

Su Tianyun deserved his punishment, while Su Heng, with the largest supporting pillar in the Su family gone, would have a difficult future.

After that, Su Zhan looked towards the guests present.

Calmly, he said, "Today, three major families along with elder Su Tianyun attempted to kill me, and now they have all received their due punishment. Their assets will be collected by the Su family soon. Are any of you figures in the Qingcheng City objecting?"

"No, no! The three major families deserve their punishment!"

"Young Master Su has exceptional talent, at the age of sixteen, he can already suppress three major families!"

"Young Master Su is handsome and talented, I have a beautiful daughter who is still young, maybe she could be a suitable match for young master Su. Does the young master want to meet her?"

Young and beautiful?

Su Zhan was slightly surprised and looked at the person, "How old is she?"

"She is nine years old!"

Nine years old!

About the same age as elementary school students on earth!

Su Zhan's face immediately turned dark, "Get out of here! Do I look like a wild beast in your eyes, huh?!"

The person immediately left the room with disappointment on his face.

Actually, he was not wrong at all, because in this world, at the age of fourteen, a woman is considered an adult, and at the age of nine, they can already be engaged. It's just that because Su Zhan was a transmigrator from Earth, he was not used to it.

The party continued.

However, at the party, everyone seemed to lose their appetite. At this moment, their attention was focused on Su Zhan, who appeared calm.

"Young Master Su is truly the reincarnation of a true dragon. He is only sixteen years old and has already reached the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm! He even defeated three major families with just his own strength! This is very frightening!"

"The Tianhan Sword Technique, although only a mortal sword technique, in the hands of Su Zhan, such a mortal technique can produce sword intent. In my opinion, he is not the reincarnation of a true dragon, but the reincarnation of a sword god!"

"Unfortunately, my daughter is only seven years old. Otherwise, I would have introduced her to young master Su. Haish...!"

The guests were chatting and drinking.

Su Zhan fell silent upon hearing their conversation.

'Hey, what are you all thinking? I'm not even seventeen yet, and you're already talking about marriage?'

After entertaining the guests who tried to build a relationship with him, Su Zhan continued eating and drinking.

Shortly after, the birthday party ended.

He left the party room and returned to his residence.

...

In the following days, the Su family began to take over the territory and resources of the three major families. Su Zhan also acquired some of the best martial arts and techniques from the three major families, all of which were high-grade mortal techniques.

"Now, I already have sword techniques, but I still need other techniques to enhance my combat power! Moreover, because of my poor talent, all the techniques I learned before were just ordinary Su family techniques, so I have to replace them with stronger techniques!"

Su Zhan whispered to himself, focusing on dozens of the best martial arts techniques available throughout Qingcheng City.

"Diamond Body, a body training to make bones and muscles stronger than steel. This can increase my strength!"

"Wind Step, using the power of wind to make body movements faster. This can increase my speed!"

"Fire Punch, hitting enemies with fists and burning them with fire!"

"Broken Jade Finger, a close-range technique that can kill enemies with one strike!"

"Cold Jade Art, an art that can make true qi have a cold nature, can injure and kill enemies in battle!"

...

After looking around, he finally had a brief overview of all the types of exercises and martial arts available.

In the end, he chose several that were suitable for his training and started practicing.

Half a month later, the Su family had successfully mastered all the power of the three major families and became the only major family in Qingcheng City!

And Su Zhan also chose to leave his home today after not going out for a long time.

Compared to half a month ago, his height increased by 5 cm, his muscles more symmetrical and perfect. Even his temperament was more extraordinary, with a little elegance of a spiritual lotus flower.

This change was caused by the "Diamond Body Technique" and the "Cold Jade Art" that he learned.

During that half a month, he had mastered three martial arts techniques and one cultivation technique to the pinnacle of skill!

However, even so, the halo board still did not change, and he had not opened a new halo.

"It seems like I have to go out and explore the world to open a new halo. In this world, not only humans cultivate, but also wild animals cultivate to become beasts. If I go out of town and kill monsters or something, I might be able to complete the achievement task related to monsters, right?"

After mumbling a few words, Su Zhan opened his attribute panel.

[Host]: Su Zhan

[Cultivation]: Middle Stage of the Qi Sea Realm

[Cultivation Technique]: Cold Jade Art (Perfection)

[Martial Arts Techniques]: Tianhan Sword Technique (Peak), Wind Step (Peak), Broken Jade Finger (Peak), Diamond Body (Peak)

Although his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm, with sword techniques, movement techniques, and finger techniques that had reached their peak and even produced an intent, plus the Cold Jade Art that had reached perfection, Su Zhan's combat power was even stronger than most experts in the Yuan Condensation Realm.

If he went to the wild mountains outside Qingcheng City, he could even walk around without fear.

As he was getting ready to leave the Su house, a female servant approached him and said politely, "Young master, old master called you on urgent business!"

Urgent business?

This is weird.

Only Su family remained in Qingcheng City, what urgent matter could happen?

Su Zhan was slightly surprised and immediately followed the maid to his father's residence.

Upon arriving at his father's house, Su Zhan quickly asked, "Father, why did you look for me?"

"Zhan'er, do you still remember Sister Zhaoyue who used to play with you when you were a child?"

Sister Zhaoyue?

Su Zhan was momentarily surprised, it took him a few seconds before he remembered.

With a little confusion, he asked, "Is that Su Zhaoyue, father? I haven't seen her for eight or nine years, I even forgot what she looks like. Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Su Tianhai sighed, took out a letter from his pocket, and placed it on the table.

With a little desperation, he said, "Zhan'er, Su family from Tancheng City has a connection with our Su family, and Su Zhaoyue's father and I are good friends. We even arranged your engagement with Su Zhaoyue before. However, some time ago, Su Zhaoyue's father died due to illness, and we almost forgot about this."

"But yesterday, I received a letter from Su family in Tancheng City, which said that Su Zhaoyue suddenly awakened her hidden talent after three years of silence and became a genius with extraordinary talent. Now, they said, the difference between you and Su Zhaoyue is too great, and therefore the engagement must be cancelled. Su family from Tancheng City has already left yesterday, and they may arrive soon!"

After listening to Su Tianhai's words, Su Zhan's facial expression immediately became strange.

He never thought that the cancellation of the engagement, which was supposed to come when he was very weak, would come now!

With his current talent and strength, what's the use of talking about "Thirty years of the East River, thirty years of the West River, do not underestimate a youth when he is poor" to those people?

This seems a little inappropriate, doesn't it?
