Xie Haotian dusted off the marriage certificate in his hand. A glint of cold light flashed across his eyes as he looked at Nan Chaoyu. "Before you say that, Princess, take a look at what this is?"
"Master Xie, marriage should be based on mutual consent. It's not a gentleman's act to be so aggressive!"
The head of the Bai family couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed down his teacup with a bang and scolded loudly.
As soon as he spoke, the people present finally remembered that it was Nan Chaoyu who had saved Dream Sea City from the Xie father - son pair today, and the other protagonist of the forced marriage was from the Xie family.
Immediately, they all began to speak out.
"The head of the Bai family addresses you as a young master just out of consideration for the contributions the Xie family made to Dream Sea City in the past. Now that your Xie family has evil intentions and has become a rat过街, you still dare to covet the princess. It's really wishful thinking."
"That's right, Lord Mayor. Why are the Xie family members here on such an occasion?"
Li Yuejin also didn't know why Xie Haotian was here. He had clearly ordered people to keep a close watch on the Xie family members.
At this moment, Li Ting, the head of the guards, quickly appeared and whispered something in Li Yuejin's ear.
Li Yuejin's face darkened. "Come on, arrest Xie Haotian and take him away."
Xie Haotian didn't care at all. He raised his voice and said, "I've really broadened my horizons today. When the Holy Light Royal Family wanted to get something from the Xie family, they made a marriage contract. Now that the Xie family is in decline, they find excuses to break the engagement. Hehe, it really has the 'royal style'!"
By this time, the guards had already walked up to Xie Haotian and reached out to grab him.
Xie Haotian didn't resist. He stared straight at Nan Chaoyu, his eyes filled with madness!
Mu Qihan frowned when he saw Xie Haotian's expression. He moved a step and blocked Nan Chaoyu behind him, completely cutting off Xie Haotian's line of sight.
Xie Haotian's arms were held behind his back by the guards. Seeing Mu Qihan's action, his gaze shifted to Mu Qihan's face.
He said sarcastically, "Young Master Mu, you're protecting her so much now. How do you know that what happened to me today won't happen to you tomorrow?"
Mu Qihan replied without hesitation, "You don't need to worry about this."
"Take him away quickly." Li Yuejin had seen Nan Chaoyu's desperate act for this young man on the martial arts arena. Seeing Xie Haotian targeting him, he suddenly felt a bit of a headache.
He was really afraid that this young lady would take her anger out on him and turn Dream Sea City upside down.
But before the guards could act, a cold voice came from the side, "Wait!"
Everyone looked over and saw Nan Chaoyu push Mu Qihan aside and step forward. She looked directly at Xie Haotian and said word by word, "What do you want to do to dissolve the engagement?"
Xie Haotian laughed and moved his arms.
The guards didn't dare to let go without an order. Xie Haotian angrily scolded, "Let go. Can't you see that the princess has already admitted that I'm her fiancé?"
Hearing the word "fiancé", Mu Qihan's face darkened. Xiaotian couldn't help but take a step to the side.
The young master is angry!
The guards were a bit confused. They looked up at Nan Chaoyu, waiting for her instruction.
"Xie Haotian, don't forget that you're from the Xie family now. Dream Sea City is independent of the Holy Light Empire. If you think you can use my name to lord it over others, you've miscalculated."
Nan Chaoyu simply folded her arms and enjoyed Xie Haotian's embarrassed look.
"Fine, you're really ruthless!" Xie Haotian didn't expect Nan Chaoyu to be so tough when she wanted to dissolve the engagement. He ran his tongue against his teeth, and his gaze suddenly fell on Mu Qihan behind Nan Chaoyu.
He said maliciously, "Young Master Mu, see? The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart. Aren't you afraid that you'll end up like me in the future? You..."
"Xie Haotian, if you don't want to say the conditions, then I'll just wait for you to die. This marriage contract will naturally be dissolved."
Nan Chaoyu coldly interrupted his words and looked at him with a bad look in her eyes. "I'll give you one last chance. What conditions do you want to dissolve the marriage contract?"
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No matter whether the marriage contract was dissolved today or not, the relationship between her and Mu Qihan would inevitably be criticized by others in the future.
She didn't want to see such a scene, and she didn't want Mu Qihan to be wronged.
She had calculated everything, but she had missed out on Xie Haotian.
"Getting anxious? You really can't bear to part with your pretty boy!"
Xie Haotian said boldly, "I don't want to dissolve the marriage contract. I'll just drag you down, drag you to death. As long as our marriage contract exists, you'll never be able to be with him!"
Nan Chaoyu's face darkened, and spiritual energy surged around her.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They were afraid that Nan Chaoyu couldn't hold back and would directly cripple Xie Haotian.
It didn't matter if she crippled him, but they were afraid of being implicated!
Li Yuejin was a bit nervous. He was really afraid that Nan Chaoyu would kill Xie Haotian with one blow. If this got out, wouldn't it smear the Holy Light Royal Family?
But Nan Chaoyu held back. She took a deep look at Xie Haotian and said, "I hope you won't regret this!"
Xie Haotian felt a bit uneasy in his heart, but then he thought about how he had been reduced to this state by Nan Chaoyu.
The Xie family was ruined, and his cultivation was gone. Why did Nan Chaoyu get to become a princess of the Holy Light Royal Family?
Why did Nan Chaoyu get to find a better man and live happily ever after?
He didn't want to discuss conditions, and he didn't want a chance to live. He just wanted to disgust Nan Chaoyu to death.
If he died, Nan Chaoyu would still be burdened with the name of his fiancée and would never be able to be with the one she loved cleanly.
Thinking of this, a hint of madness flashed in Xie Haotian's eyes as he looked at Nan Chaoyu. "I'll never regret it!"
Actually, in the world of cultivators, people didn't care about such vain names. Having multiple wives and concubines, or even high - level spiritual cultivators keeping lovers was a normal thing.
But Nan Chaoyu cared. She didn't want such a disgusting person to come between her and Mu Qihan.
"Well then, take a look at what this is?"
A golden token suddenly appeared in Nan Chaoyu's hand, with the words "Holy Light" written on it.
"Nan Chaoyu, are you out of ideas? Are you trying to scare people with this broken token?"
A sneer appeared on Xie Haotian's face.
"The Holy Light Token!" At this time, Li Yuejin exclaimed. He looked at the token in Nan Chaoyu's hand and bowed respectfully.
"This is the Holy Light Token personally issued by the Holy Light Emperor. It is said that there have only been five of them so far. Seeing the token is like seeing the emperor himself. It can order all members of the Holy Light Royal Family. I didn't expect the princess to have such a thing."
Nan Chaoyu hooked the corner of her mouth. "Lord Mayor is right. This is the Holy Light Token. It can not only order all royal family members but also issue orders on behalf of the emperor."
Saying that, she waved the token. "The marriage certificate in your hand was set by the Queen Consort, but I have the Holy Light Token. I now declare that the marriage certificate is invalid."
Xie Haotian's face changed. He seemed unable to believe it. "You can't do this. It was personally set by the Queen Consort. I don't admit it."
Nan Chaoyu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "It's not up to you. I'll have someone send you to the Holy Light Empire. You can go and settle the accounts with the Queen Consort about what the Xie family gave and what it got. I won't stop you."
