A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

"Yes, it was with the help of this that I concealed my true situation." Yu Qing handed the copper piece to Lin Yang, asking him to examine it closely.

Lin Yang took the copper plate, examined it closely, and was very surprised.

Yu Qing used this object to conceal his true situation, and even he couldn't detect it, which is enough to show that this bronze piece is extraordinary.

To be precise, it was a bronze sheet.

That's right.

This copper piece is also a fragment of bronze.

"Bronze fragments, I wonder if they're related to the bronze shards I salvaged," Lin Yang thought to himself, but he didn't want to take out the bronze shards from his spatial ring to compare them on the spot.

His gaze fell upon the bronze slab, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Yu Qing said directly, "It seems that you are very interested in this copper piece, Brother Lin. Then I will give it to you."

Lin Yang came to his senses and slowly said, "This... to be honest, I am indeed somewhat interested in this item. However, since it is a precious treasure that you use to hide yourself, I cannot take what others cherish. Let's just forget about it."

He handed the bronze piece back.

Yu Qing refused to accept it, saying only, "Take it as my token of gratitude."

“This is inappropriate. You have already paid the corresponding fee in advance. I am only doing this on your behalf. How can I accept any other reward?” Lin Yang shook his head and insisted on handing it back.

Yu Qing still refused to accept it, saying, "Actually, this thing isn't that important to me. You've helped me resolve my engagement with Lei Su, so I won't have to travel far away in the future and won't need this thing."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Yang and said seriously, "To be honest, I simply cannot afford the price of hiring a Heng Realm expert. I already benefited greatly from the previous agreement. I didn't expect you to become a Heng Realm expert, so you should accept this item. Otherwise, I will find it difficult to accept your help with a clear conscience."

Upon hearing this, seeing Yu Qing's resolute attitude, Lin Yang thought for a moment and then said without further hesitation:
"In that case, I'll accept it. Consider it another favor I owe you."

"No need for such favors!" Yu Qing quickly replied.

Hearing this, Yu Shan sighed inwardly.

A favor from a powerful expert in the Eternal Realm is something many people would beg for, yet Yu Qing refused it without hesitation.

He felt a little sorry for him.

Having such a favor would be a great help to the Yu family!

However, he naturally couldn't say anything, and could only try his best not to think about it anymore.

However, Yu Shan still pondered to himself.

Although Yu Qing refused Lin Yang's promise of a favor, given her relationship with Lin Yang, she might be able to ask him for help again in the future.

Moreover, although Yu Qing refused outright, a powerful expert at the Eternal Realm would probably still remember this favor.

He began to consider whether he should settle scores with those who had caused Yu Qingyuan to leave back then.

One of the main reasons Yu Qing was forced to leave home was that after her parents died, her uncle's faction wanted to seize power, so they tried their best to arrange her marriage to Lei Su.

Although the Lei family was a prominent clan, Yu Qing still held a high status after marrying into it, but she could no longer interfere in the affairs of the Yu family.

As the eldest daughter of the original clan leader, Yu Qing's status meant that if she didn't marry out, staying in the Yu family would always be a thorn in her side.

Therefore, Yu Qingyuan fled to another place.

Yu Shan knew all of this, but he didn't get involved back then.

Since Yu Qing's parents had died, the clan did indeed need someone to take charge.

But things are different now.

Yu Qing actually made friends with a Hengjing.

This caused the scales in Yu Shan's heart to begin to tip again.

Lin Yang is the only newly promoted Eternal Realm cultivator of this era.

He is not only the only newly promoted human, but also the only newly promoted Eternal Realm cultivator in the entire Primordial Ancient Continent.

Moreover, the short duration of his cultivation is truly admirable.

This means that Lin Yang has unlimited potential for the future, and it is not impossible for him to reach the Unknown Realm or even the Ancient Realm again.

He began to consider whether to deal with some people and make room for Yu Qingteng.

Lin Yang didn't say anything more after hearing Yu Qing's words. Although Yu Qing refused, he would still remember it.

Then, he put away the bronze fragment and looked at Yu Shan: "Fellow Daoist Yu Shan, you know why I've come. Is there any room for further discussion regarding the marriage between Yu Qing and Lei Su?"

Having been paid to do a good job, he had to work even harder after receiving the bronze fragment.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shan temporarily suppressed his thoughts and revealed a somewhat enigmatic smile, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, how much do you know about my Ancient Feather Clan? Do you know anything about the Lei family?"

"I know a little bit." Lin Yang glanced at Yu Qing, who had told him some things on their way to the Ancient Forbidden Zone.

Yu Shan took in Lin Yang's gaze and immediately understood something. He slowly said:
"Since you, Fellow Daoist Lin, are also familiar with this, you should know that the Lei clan is incredibly powerful and has a strong foundation, even stronger than my Yu family."

"That Lei Su is the eldest son of Lei Zhen, the current patriarch of the Lei clan. He fell in love with Yu Qing at first sight and declared that he would not marry anyone but Yu Qing."

"So this matter is not easy to handle! Even if we can avoid forcing Yu Qing to marry into the family, the Lei family will not let it go."

"Especially since the Lei family values ​​face very much, if we really break off the engagement, I'm afraid the Lei family won't let it go easily."

"... "

As Yu Shan spoke, he showed some difficulty, as if he was indeed in a very difficult position.

Lin Yang listened quietly to Yu Shan's story, and only after Yu Shan finished did he say with a half-smile:
"Fellow Daoist Yushan, just tell me frankly, what price are you willing to pay to break off the engagement with the Lei family in the name of the Yu family?"

Yu Shan said so much and made such a troubled gesture, all just to say it to him on purpose.

The purpose, of course, is to get an attitude or commitment from him.

To put it bluntly, they just want benefits.

He was too lazy to beat around the bush with Yushan.

He came to help Yu Qing break off the engagement because he hadn't fulfilled his promise. Besides, he had just taken Yu Qing's bronze tablet. As long as Yu Shan's request wasn't too unreasonable, he would do his best to fulfill it.

Seeing this, Yu Shan chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is straightforward, so I'll be frank too. It would indeed have a big impact if Yu Qing and Lei Su were to break off their engagement. The main problem is that there isn't a suitable reason. So, if we really want to break off the engagement, I need Fellow Daoist Lin to help me share the pressure from the Lei family."

Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "Okay, if the Lei family causes trouble, I will naturally not stand idly by. I will stay here until this matter is completely resolved."

"Haha, with Fellow Daoist Lin's words, I'm relieved. In that case, I'll go and inform the Lei family. If we're going to retire, let's retire early." Yu Shan laughed heartily.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Yushan," Lin Yang said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Yu Shan waved his hand: "You're too kind. Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."

"Please make yourself at home, Fellow Daoist Yushan," Lin Yang said.

After Yu Shan left, Yu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and said gratefully to Lin Yang, "Thank you so much!" "You're welcome. It's what I should do. The annulment of the engagement should be fine now. What are your plans next?" Lin Yang asked casually.

Yu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'm still benefiting from your help this time. With your strong attitude in helping me, I won't have any trouble in the clan in the future, so I plan to stay in the clan."

"That's good." Lin Yang smiled.

Neither of them spoke after that.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Suddenly, Lin Yang raised an eyebrow and looked outside the hall. He sensed that someone was spying on them.

However, he didn't point it out.

This is the Yu family residence. Anyone who can get so close to the main hall at this time must be a high-ranking member of the Yu family.

He ignored it and quietly sipped his tea.

Yu Shan was quite generous; the tea he brought out was so refreshing that even he felt invigorated after drinking it.

at the same time.

Outside the main hall, a middle-aged man hurriedly left and soon went to another courtyard.

If Yu Qing were to see this person, she would recognize him immediately. He is her cousin, Yu Yuan'an, the current head of the Yu family.

Inside the courtyard, there was a middle-aged woman, Wu Bilan, Yu Yuan'an's Daoist partner. Seeing the middle-aged man hurrying towards her, she quickly went to greet him and asked with a hint of inquiry:

"Well? Did you see that? That brat Yu Qing really brought back a powerful figure from the Heng Realm?"

Yu Yuan'an frowned, nodded, and said, "Yes, I only caught a glimpse of him outside the hall before that Hengjing noticed me. However, he didn't seem to care, so I didn't linger and came back first."

The middle-aged beauty Wu Bilan frowned immediately: "I told you we should have found a chance to kill that brat back then. Keeping her around is always a threat. You were the one who spared her life out of consideration for our family ties. Now look what's happened, that brat has actually hooked up with a Hengjing expert. I'm afraid she will be a threat to us when she returns."

Yu Yuan'an said in a cold tone: "Although she doesn't know what means she used to get such a powerful man from Hengjing to come back and break off the engagement for her, we haven't done anything to wrong her except for this matter. We can just leave her alone from now on."

"Ha, what methods? What other methods could there be? Just her face and body, what else could it be?"

Wu Bilan chuckled and then said:

“Back then, that brat’s parents perished in the ancient land. We used various means to force her to leave. Now that she’s hooked up with a Hengjing, she probably won’t stay out of our way.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan'an paused for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's see how things go. She is a woman after all, and the clan leader is unlikely to give her back. Even if she wants to vent her anger, if it's not too excessive, we should just tolerate it. At worst, we can just avoid provoking her in the future."

"Hmph, I'm afraid they don't think that way!" Wu Bilan snorted coldly, then said, "But what you said makes sense. We'll just have to put up with it for now. A mere Heng Realm cultivator is just playing around with her at most. Once he gets tired of her, she'll be at our mercy!"

“That’s right.” Yu Yuan’an nodded.

……

The main hall of the Yu family.

Yu Shan has returned and said to Lin Yang:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I have already informed the Lei family, but they said they cannot simply cancel the engagement because you asked them to. Otherwise, what would become of the Lei family's reputation? So..."

He looked at Lin Yang and didn't say anything more.

But Lin Yang already understood, and he continued, "So the Lei family wants me to have a showdown with them? If I'm strong enough, this engagement can be called off?"

Yu Shan smiled awkwardly: "That's about the gist of it. The Lei family is a large clan after all, with members at the Heng Realm and the Wei Realm. If you weren't the only newly promoted Heng Realm cultivator in this era, at the peak of your condition, they probably wouldn't have given you this opportunity."

"To put it bluntly, they don't want to provoke a Hengjing who is at the peak of the current era. If it were a different Hengjing, the Lei family probably wouldn't even give them a chance to fight."

Lin Yang nodded, indicating that he understood: "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Yushan to tell the Lei family that if they want to have a match, they can set the time and place. I'm ready to accompany them anytime."

“Okay, I’ll go tell them right away.” Yu Shan agreed and turned to leave again.

Now, Yu Qing felt a little embarrassed and said to Lin Yang, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Lin Yang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Since I'm here, I'm prepared to make my move here."

He was telling the truth.

Because he had always believed that the trouble Yu Qing wanted him to help resolve might be an enemy, he had long been prepared to fight, and now it had simply turned into a friendly spar.

Soon, Yu Shan reappeared and said, "The time has been set, in three days, at the border between the Lei Clan and my clan. I will take you there then."

“Okay, then I’ll spar with the Lei family’s Hengjing in three days,” Lin Yang said.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, the Heng Realm expert of the Lei Clan is named Lei Zhanfeng. Let me tell you about his situation so that you can deal with him.” Yu Shan chuckled.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yushan." Lin Yang clasped his hands in thanks.

"It's nothing, Fellow Daoist Lin, no need to be so polite. If we can successfully annul the engagement, it will be a good thing for Yu Qing. That Lei Su is not a very good person," Yu Shan said.

Lin Yang didn't say anything on the surface, but he sighed inwardly.

Clearly, Yu Shan knew Lei Su's character perfectly well, yet he did not stop him.

He couldn't help but glance at Yu Qing.

Yu Shan knew about the grievances she suffered, and the reason he didn't stop her was because Yu Qing wasn't valuable enough.

this is the truth.

Yu Qing's expression was also complicated, but she quickly returned to normal.

Within a large family, everything is done in the interest of the family.

She had no value before, so the grievances she suffered were nothing in the eyes of Yu Shan and others. It was only because Lin Yang was invited that her grievances were noticed.

As someone from a prominent family, she was used to these things.

Yu Shan then began to introduce Lei Zhanfeng's personal information to Lin Yang.

Lei Zhanfeng is a Hengjing cultivator who has avoided two cycles of reincarnation tribulations, and in terms of condition, he is still at his peak.

However, compared to Lin Yang, who is at the Eternal Realm of this era, he is naturally somewhat inferior.

As for prospects, they are naturally far inferior to Lin Yang's.

This is one of the reasons why the Lei family agreed to use a friendly sparring match to decide whether to cancel the engagement.

They also didn't want to easily offend a promising figure in this era.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lin Yang followed Yu Shan, bringing Yu Qing and some other members of the Yu family to the sparring location.

Meanwhile, news of his upcoming sparring match with Lei Zhanfeng spread throughout the surrounding areas within the next three days.

This attracted a large number of people who wanted to see it.

This is a battle of the Eternal Realm; countless people are willing to risk everything to witness it. (End of Chapter)
