by Thomas 20:04,Sep 19,2023
"It's as if Tom Ye really likes Lily Zhao, eager to marry her. It's only with such despicable behaviour that he threatens them to hand over their daughter.
"Hehe, it's quite funny. My son is so eager to marry your daughter?"
"You don't need to hide the truth of the matter with such excuses. Regardless, you must bring your daughter back. I want to question her directly, why she would harm my son in such a way."
As these words fell, Grace Li's face was filled with anger. Suddenly, she stood up, and her aura erupted.
A cultivation realm of the sixth level of martial arts, revealed for all to see.
She knew that this couple intentionally wanted to protect their daughter, but no matter what, she was determined to seek justice for Tom Ye.
"Lily is busy with her cultivation realm. How can she come back? Grace Li, you better not overstep, acting crazy. Do you really think we're easy to bully?"
And at this moment, seeing Grace Li stand up, Lily Zhao's father proved his strength too. He stood up and displayed his own cultivation realm realm.
A warrior of the eighth level! It was two levels above Grace Li’s.
As the Deputy Mayor of Cumulus Town, his strength had to be formidable, and Lily Zhao's father was also a strong individual.
Watching the actions and words of Lily Zhao's parents, Tom Ye felt a sense of irony. It seemed that the kind of daughter they had was reflected in the kind of parents as they were.
He knew these two would have such attitude.
This couple, fully aware of what their daughter had done at Qi Yun Sect, still chose to protect her with all their might. What's even worse is that they didn't offer a word of apology. Instead, they used a tough stance against him and his mother, behaving like heartless beasts.
"Enough, my mother brought me here. There's nothing major, just to dissolve this engagement."
"Deputy Mayor, bring me pen and ink. I, Tom Ye, want to stop the engagement right now."
Just then, Tom Ye stood up, his face dark as he looked at Lily Zhao's father.
"You want to annul the engagement?"
Upon hearing this, both of Lily Zhao's parents were taken aback. Then, a hidden hint of joy vanished from their eyes.
Without saying a word, the maid in the hall understood what was meant. She immediately prepared paper and ink, and soon brought it to Tom Ye.
Tom Ye swiftly wrote on the paper, and soon the contract was finished. He tossed it to Lily Zhao's father.
"This is the amended certificate. From now on, Lily Zhao, this malicious woman, has no connection with me, Tom Ye."
"Mother, are you afraid I won't find a wife? What use is such a venomous woman of to me?"
Tom Ye sneered, addressing Grace Li.
He knew that today Grace Li wanted to seek justice for him, but the result was that Lily Zhao's parents were too dominant.
Now, he naturally had to show an indifferent attitude to make his mother feel a bit better.
Seeing Tom Ye like this, Grace Li was even more distressed. To be so young and face such betrayal and blow was truly heart-breaking for him.
"Humph, a mere useless person. Is he worthy of my daughter with such capabilities? Since you've annulled the engagement today, in future, there will be no opportunities between you and Lily."
"My daughter has exceptional talent in martial arts. Sooner or later, she will become a formidable warrior, stepping out into the world and gaining the admiration of countless people."
"As for you, you'll achieve nothing in your lifetime. You'll forever remain a frog in the well, living out your life in obscurity in Cumulus Town."
Upon hearing Tom Ye's words, Lily Zhao's mother spoke with displeasure, delivering a sarcastic remark.
And with this statement, both Tom Ye and Grace Li heard it like a thunderclap.
It was a blatant insult. Lily Zhao's mother didn't hold back at all, thoroughly demeaning Tom Ye.
"You're asking for death!"
Grace Li instantly flew into a rage, her jade-like hand thrusting towards Lily Zhao's mother.
How could she endure her son being insulted like this?
But just then, Lily Zhao's father stepped forward quickly, lifting his palm to deflect Grace Li's attack. Immediately, he slapped Grace Li in the face.
Bang!
He didn't exert his full force, but it still caused Grace Li's breath to become disordered and her complexion turned pale.
"Mother! You hurt my mother?"
Tom Ye's eyes shot out flames, his face contorted with rage as he looked at Lily Zhao's father.
"Humph, a mere useless person. Take your mother and leave. From now on, don't set foot in my house again."
Lily Zhao's father revealed a sinister smile on his face, feeling incredibly satisfied at the thought of Tom Ye having annulled the engagement earlier.
He had waited for this day for far too long. How could his daughter marry a worthless man?
Tom Ye clenched his fists, feeling as though needles were pricking his heart. The true faces of this couple were finally exposed.
He wished he could rush up and kill this couple immediately.
But considering his own strength, he calmed down.
"I'm not his match right now."
He thought to himself, his gaze fixed on Lily Zhao's father.
However, he would definitely remember this grudge.
Someday, he would make this couple regret everything they had done today.
"Mother, let's go. Such grudge! I will definitely avenge you!"
Gritting his teeth, Tom Ye's eyes revealed a strong sense of resentment. He pulled Grace Li's arm, determined to take her away.
He understood that staying here would only result in further humiliation by this heartless couple. It was better to leave quickly and become stronger.
As he was about to leave, Tom Ye paused, turning to look at Lily Zhao's parents once again.
"Am I a useless person for my whole life? Your thoughts are far too naive."
"In two months, during the young generation's competition in Cumulus Town, I will return. By then, I want you to see clearly just how outstanding your daughter is, and whether or not I'll still be kept in the dark."
With these words, Tom Ye unleashed his aura. In just an instant, Lily Zhao's parents' faces showed shock.
The words spoken, he left the place.
"A third-level warrior! This can't be possible. Lily clearly said that this boy had extremely poor talent. He hasn't made a breakthrough in five years. How can his aura be at the third level?"
"Incredible. Could it be that he's been deliberately concealing his strength in the past? His cunning runs deep. Such talent, while slightly inferior to Lily, is still quite impressive."
The husband and wife exclaimed, feeling astonished by the level of cultivation realm Tom Ye had revealed before he left.
"We must deal with this boy as soon as possible. Write a letter to Lily, telling her to ask Yao Hu for help and have Ah Hu personally take care of Tom Ye."
"If he's truly useless, so be it. But if he's capable of such cultivation realm, he will surely be problematic. The way we treated them today, he will undoubtedly seek revenge on us in future."
Lily Zhao's father said, and as he finished speaking, he grabbed Lily Zhao's mother, both retreating to the center of the hall to prepare a letter to be sent to Lily Zhao at Qi Yun Sect.
