Chapter 66: This had to be said, what a satisfying scolding.
Nangong Xu couldn’t hold back as soon as the Lin Family revealed the betrothal gifts. If Lin Mo was willing to break off the engagement, he could lawfully marry Jiang Yanran. Moreover, he was a disciple of a Xuanming Hall disciple. If they were to marry, it wouldn’t just be a simple alliance between the Nangong Family and the Jiang Family, but also an alliance between Xuanming Hall and the Ice Palace. The benefits far exceeded what the Lin Family was currently proposing.
“Tomorrow, my Nangong Family will return these items to your Lin Family, not a single thing missing.”
At this point, no one could fail to see that Nangong Xu and Jiang Yanran’s relationship was not simple. It seemed that the main reason for breaking off the engagement was this Nangong Xu.
Now, no one present saw Lin Mo as a joke. Lin Mo, who was supposed to be humiliated, with his calm demeanor and sharp words, ended up teasing Jiang Yanran, who had come to break off the engagement. He even gained quite a bit from it. With this skill, who among those present could have done better?
However, the Lin Family elders were not in a good mood at the moment. The more outstanding Lin Mo was, the greater their sense of crisis became. Based on Lin Mo’s performance, the young lady in white was also contemplating whether it was right or wrong for her ‘disciple’ to come to the Lin Family to break off the engagement… It was a shame that this child only had the talent of a Dual Spirit Root. If he had a Heavenly Spirit Root, his future would truly be limitless.
Speaking of which, in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, both intellect and strength were indispensable. Just looking at Nangong Xu’s performance today, his brains were indeed inferior to Lin Mo’s.
Lin Mo was unaware that he had been praised in the heart of some influential figure. This matter was not over for him. There were some things he still had to say on behalf of the original owner.
“Since everything has been made clear, we’ll take our leave!”
Seeing Jiang Yanran preparing to leave with her companions, Lin Mo called out to her, “Stop. The engagement is indeed settled, but the accounts between us are not yet settled.”
Jiang Yanran frowned and turned back, “What more do you want?”
Lin Mo no longer had a pleasant expression. He put away his previous smile and said coldly, “Since you keep saying you only treated me as a brother, I’d like to ask why you didn’t propose to dissolve the engagement years ago?”
Jiang Yanran hadn’t expected Lin Mo to bring up feelings at this point and said impatiently, “I was young years ago and couldn’t correctly understand my feelings for you.”
Lin Mo looked at her coldly, “So, you only realized this feeling now, not earlier, and not later, but precisely after you successfully formed your Golden Core and became a favored daughter of heaven?”
Jiang Yanran was speechless…
Lin Mo continued to stare into Jiang Yanran’s eyes, “Since Miss Jiang cannot answer, I will answer this question for you.”
“After Miss Jiang broke through to Core Formation, she soared to become a favored daughter of heaven, and even more so after entering the Ice Palace. So, she started to look down on me, her fiancé with only a Dual Spirit Root, who had a childhood engagement in a Rank 2 Sect, is that not so?”
The young lady in white then frowned and spoke for Jiang Yanran, “As I said before, when it comes to matching social standing, you, as you are now, are indeed not worthy of our Yanran.”
Lin Mo clapped his hands, said “Good” three times, and then sneered, “Not worthy? Do you know that I sent spirit herbs and pills to Jiang Yanran every year for the past ten years?”
“If she wasn’t my fiancée, why would I give my cultivation resources to her?”
“Isn’t it true that your ability to form your Golden Core so quickly and achieve a Rank 7 Golden Core is, at least half, due to my pills?”
Jiang Yanran then said, “Those pills, I can return them to you…”
“Return them? With what will you return them?” At this moment, Lin Mo exuded an extremely terrifying aura as he spoke word by word, “The pills I gave you all bear the sect’s mark. The spirit herbs I gave you were also nourished by my spiritual energy and carry my aura.”
“If you can return all those pills and spirit herbs to me intact, then this matter will be considered past.”
“Can you bring them out?”
Lin Mo’s voice became extremely cold. Jiang Yanran felt a trace of fear and dread facing such a Lin Mo… Not to mention him, everyone present, except for the cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm, dared not breathe, and had the illusion of being unable to breathe.
Lin Nantian couldn’t help but be surprised. Why was his grandson’s aura so sharp? This was not at all the might that an Early Golden Core cultivator should possess. The young lady in white, standing beside Jiang Yanran, had the same thought. She was standing very close to Jiang Yanran and directly felt Lin Mo’s pressure. She couldn’t help but become curious, this child definitely possessed an extraordinary secret. Was this engagement indeed broken off wrongly…
As for Jiang Yanran, how could she produce those pills and spirit herbs? She had already used them all up. Although she had a Heavenly Spirit Root and received excellent treatment in the Jiang Family, without Lin Mo’s pills, she would have at least taken three more years to form her Golden Core. And without those rare spirit herbs, it would have been truly difficult for her to form a Rank 7 Golden Core.
Seeing Jiang Yanran make no move, Lin Mo found it amusing. As expected, there were quite a few eccentric women around the original owner.
“If you can’t produce them, it means you have benefited from my kindness to achieve what you have today. Yet, you have the audacity to shamelessly come to our Lin Family to break off the engagement, and precisely on my grandfather’s Birthday Celebration, to humiliate me in front of so many people. Miss Jiang Yanran, you are truly ungrateful and heartless.”
As soon as Lin Mo spoke, the expressions of everyone present changed. Although they didn’t know how many pills Lin Mo had sent to Jiang Yanran each year, or what quality of spirit ganoderma it was, judging by Jiang Yanran’s pale face, they could tell that these items were of considerable value and had provided great help to her. He was truly too good to his future wife.
Lin Nantian was furious at this moment. His grandson’s Golden Core spiritual energy was scarce. If those resources had been used by him, forming a Rank 7 Golden Core would not have been a difficult task. Despite this, his grandson still gave those cultivation resources to the girl from the Jiang Family. And the Jiang Family girl had the nerve to break off the engagement?
As for Jiang Yanran, she had long lost the arrogance she had when she arrived. Lin Mo’s sharp words had caused her Dao heart to become unstable, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot. The young lady in white, with a slight frown, quickly took a pill from her storage ring and had Jiang Yanran swallow it. Jiang Yanran then slowly recovered.
Lin Mo’s words were not finished. Seeing Jiang Yanran recover, he continued, “Wanting to have your cake and eat it too, you are truly dreaming. You even personally brought your little lover to break off the engagement. You really have the nerve to do such things.”
“With your kind of cheapness, I, Lin Mo, feel disgusted and sickened whenever I see you. I even find the spiritual energy around you to be foul.”
“Get lost.”
“A slut and a dog, I wish you a lifetime of happiness.”
Even though Jiang Yanran hadn’t heard some of Lin Mo’s modern terms, she could tell that these were insulting foul words.
“Oh, I almost forgot to mention.” Lin Mo turned his gaze to Nangong Xu and sneered, “To fancy this kind of trash, your taste is truly terrible.”
“Lin Mo, you are truly tired of living.”
Nangong Xu’s anger surged to his head. He took out his primordial spirit sword and made an indignant charge for the sake of a beauty.
