They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

When the Lin family announced the bride price, Nangong Xu couldn’t hold back any longer.

As long as Lin Mo agreed to call off the wedding, he could marry Jiang Yanran legitimately.

Moreover, as a disciple of the disciple of Xuanming Hall, this marriage would not only be a simple alliance between the Nangong and Jiang families but also between Xuanming Hall and Hanbing Palace.

The benefits far exceeded the conditions currently proposed by the Lin family.

“Tomorrow, my Nangong family will deliver these items to your Lin family without fail.”

Now, no one could fail to see the special relationship between Nangong Xu and Jiang Yanran.

It seemed that the main reason for the annulment was Nangong Xu.

At this moment, no one in the audience laughed at Lin Mo anymore.

Lin Mo, who should have been humiliated, played Jiang Yanran, who came to call off the wedding, with his calm demeanor and sharp language.

And he gained quite a bit from it.

With such skill, who among those present could do better?

However, at this moment, the elders of the Lin family were not in a good mood; the more outstanding Lin Mo was, the greater their sense of crisis.

Judging by Lin Mo’s performance, the lady in white was also pondering whether her ‘disciple’ coming to the Lin family to call off the wedding was right or wrong…

It’s a pity that this child only has dual spiritual roots; if he had heavenly spiritual roots, his future would truly be boundless.

After all, in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, both brains and strength are indispensable.

Take Nangong Xu’s performance today, for instance; his mind is indeed not as sharp as Lin Mo’s.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, didn’t know that he had been praised by some big shot in their heart.

For him, this matter was far from over.

There were still some words he had to say on behalf of the original master.

“Since everything has been made clear, I’ll take my leave!”

As Jiang Yanran prepared to leave with her entourage, Lin Mo called out to her, “Stop right there. The matter of our engagement may have been settled, but the debts between us have not.”

Jiang Yanran frowned and turned back, “What more do you want?”

Lin Mo’s expression was no longer amiable; he retracted his previous smile and said coldly, “Since you’ve repeatedly claimed to see me only as a brother, then let me ask you, why didn’t you propose to annul the engagement years ago?”

Jiang Yanran hadn’t expected Lin Mo to bring up their feelings at this time and replied impatiently, “Back then, I was too young to truly understand my feelings for you.”

Lin Mo looked at her coldly, “So, you didn’t realize these feelings early on, nor later on, but just happened to do so after your successful Core Formation, transforming into a favored daughter of the heavens?”

Jiang Yanran was momentarily at a loss for words…

Lin Mo continued to gaze directly into Jiang Yanran’s eyes, “Since Miss Jiang can’t answer, allow me to do it for you.”

“After Miss Jiang’s breakthrough in Core Formation, becoming a favored daughter of the heavens, and especially after entering the Ice Palace, you began to look down on me, a husband with only dual spiritual roots from a second-tier sect, is that not so?”

The girl in white frowned and spoke up for Jiang Yanran, “As I said before, the matter of matching social status is important. You, as you are now, truly do not match our Yanran.”

Lin Mo clapped his hands, saying ‘good’ three times, then sneered, “Not a match? Then do you know, for the past ten years, I’ve been sending spiritual plant elixirs to Jiang Yanran every year.”

“If she weren’t my fiancée, why would I hand over my cultivation resources to her?”

“Now that you’ve been able to form your Core so quickly, reaching the seventh rank, isn’t it true that at least half of that success is due to those elixirs of mine?”

At this, Jiang Yanran said, “I can return those elixirs to you…”

“Return them? With what will you return them?” At this moment, Lin Mo exuded an extremely terrifying aura, saying word by word, “The elixirs I gave you, they all bear the mark of our sect, and the spiritual plants, they’ve all been nourished by my spiritual energy, carrying my essence.”

“If you can return those elixirs and spiritual plants to me intact, we can consider this matter settled.”

“Do you have them?”

Lin Mo’s voice became especially cold, and facing such a Lin Mo, Jiang Yanran felt a trace of fear and trepidation…

It wasn’t just him; everyone present, except for those cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, dared not even breathe, feeling almost suffocated.

Lin Nantian couldn’t help but be surprised, wondering why his grandson’s aura was so sharp, which was not typical for someone at the early stage of Golden Core.

The girl in white standing next to Jiang Yanran shared this thought.

She was very close to Jiang Yanran and could directly feel the pressure from Lin Mo.

She couldn’t help but become curious, this man must have some extraordinary secrets. Perhaps calling off the marriage was a mistake…

As for Jiang Yanran, where could she possibly produce those elixirs and spiritual plants? She had long since used them up.

Although she was a heavenly spiritual root and received excellent treatment in the Jiang family, without Lin Mo’s elixirs, she would have had to wait at least three more years to form her Core, and without those rare spiritual plants, it would have been very difficult for her to form a seventh-rank Golden Core.

Seeing Jiang Yanran make no move, Lin Mo could only find it amusing, realizing that the original owner indeed had many peculiar women around him.

“If you can’t produce them, then you’ve achieved your current success only through my favor. And now you have the audacity to shamelessly come to the Lin family to call off the engagement, and even choose to do so on my grandfather’s birthday, humiliating me in front of so many people. Miss Jiang Yanran, you truly are ungrateful, heartless, and cold-blooded.”

As Lin Mo spoke, the expressions of those present changed.

Although they did not know how many elixirs Lin Mo had sent to Jiang Yanran each year, or the quality of the spiritual mushrooms, from Jiang Yanran’s pale complexion, one could guess that these items were of considerable value and had greatly aided her personally.

He’s being far too generous to a bride who hasn’t yet crossed the threshold.

At this moment, Lin Nantian was furious. His grandson’s golden core was depleted of spiritual energy. If he had used those resources for himself, achieving a seventh-grade golden core would hardly be a challenge.

Despite this, his grandson still gave those cultivation resources to that Jiang girl.

And she has the audacity to call off the engagement?

On Jiang Yanran’s side, her earlier arrogance was gone. Lin Mo’s sharp words had destabilized her spirit, causing her to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The girl in white furrowed her brows slightly and hurriedly took out a pill from her storage ring for Jiang Yanran to swallow.

Jiang Yanran slowly recovered.

Lin Mo hadn’t finished speaking. Seeing Jiang Yanran regain her composure, he continued, “To think you can have your cake and eat it too, you’re truly delusional. And to bring your little lover to call off the engagement, you’ve got some nerve.”

“This inn’s thatched cottage, I, Lin Mo, feel disgusted just looking at you. Even the spiritual energy around you seems foul to me.”

“Now scram.”

“A match of a watch with a dog, I wish you an everlasting union.”

Even if Jiang Yanran hadn’t heard some of the modern terms Lin Mo used.

She could still feel they were insults.

“Oh, I forgot to say,” Lin Mo turned his eyes to Nangong Xu, sneering, “To fancy someone like this FW, your taste really isn’t up to much.”

“Lin Mo, you’re really asking for trouble.”

Nangong Xu, too, was insulted to the point of rage, summoning his life-bound spirit sword, ready to fight furiously for his beloved.
