I can calculate everything

Chapter 22 To kill or not to kill?

In the main seat inside the hall.

Xu Junlin, who was dressed in a luxurious white robe and had broad shoulders and back, suddenly had his pupils trembled when he heard the words. His right hand, which was resting on the armrest of the mahogany chair, subconsciously squeezed it hard, crushing the mahogany armrest into wood chips.

Xu Junlin stared at the door of the reception room, at the girl who exuded a light and ethereal aura. He couldn't understand why such a secret, a little secret that was only passed down among the patriarchs of each generation of the Xu family, would be known by an outsider.

Xu Junlin was well aware that what the girl in white said was true. If he didn't know this, then even though Xu Huan was from the side branch, the fact that he possessed the five elements spiritual roots would be enough for him to allow Xu Huan to become a member of the direct line.

However, Xu Huan possessed a thin trace of true direct bloodline, and was naturally incompatible with them. Therefore, as the patriarch, Xu Junlin did not improve Xu Huan's treatment and did not treat him well. Even after many doctors determined that Xu Huan was a person with useless bloodline, he allowed everyone in the Xu family to secretly belittle Xu Huan.

"Who are you?" Xu Junlin suppressed the shock in his heart, his face slightly stiffened, and he uttered these words, one by one, with a hint of coldness, from between his teeth.

"Bei, Xuan Ling'er!" The girl's light voice, with a hint of majesty, resounded throughout the hall.

As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The next moment, all the Xu family members present at the meeting had expressionless expressions. They all opened their eyes and looked at the girl in white, Xuan Ling'er, in shock.

"Bei's family?"

"Xuan?"

"There is only one Bei family in the Five Spirits Empire!"

"She is a member of the royal family?!"

"Bei Xuanling? She's Xu Huan's fiancée!"

"what?!"

"..."

Everyone in the Xu family was whispering to each other, and when someone who knew the truth told the truth, there was a burst of exclamations, and everyone's eyes turned towards Xuan Ling'er with complicated expressions.

Master Crocodile, who had been silent before, did not say a word, but just quietly ate the melon and watched the show, as if everyone had forgotten his existence.

Xu Junlin, who was sitting in the main seat, also recognized Xuan Ling'er's identity from her words. He didn't think that anyone would dare to pretend to be a member of the Five Spirits royal family, nor did he think that such an outstanding girl would pretend to be someone else.

"So it's Ling'er's niece. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you from afar." Xu Junlin seemed to have forgotten what Xuan Ling'er had said before. At this moment, his expression had turned from gloomy to bright, and he looked like a kind and amiable elder.

"Clan leader Xu, I'm here to look for Xu Huan today." Xuan Ling'er replied calmly, then narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who is Xu Huan?"

Hearing this, everyone in the Xu family looked at Xu Huan. Following everyone's gaze, Xuan Ling'er also turned her eyes to Xu Huan.

"Are you Xu Huan?" Xuan Ling'er's face was calm, her phoenix eyes swept across him indifferently, and her tone was slightly cold. "You are indeed a useless person with no cultivation. In this case, please agree to cancel the engagement between you and me."

Xu Huan looked at Xuan Ling'er and saw that she looked like she was seeing him for the first time. He couldn't help but frown and thought to himself:

Is she the princess fiancée whom I have never met?

Didn’t we see each other yesterday? Why do you act like you don’t recognize me today?
Could it be that the girl in white yesterday just looked like her?
Also, wasn't the engagement cancelled a long time ago? What kind of tricks is she playing...

"Xianjing, what tricks is she playing?" Xu Huan asked Xianjing again when he was in doubt.

[Master, there seems to be something strange about her. Even if I drain your soul, this Immortal Mirror still can't figure out what she's up to.]

"Is she the girl from yesterday?" [Yes, Master.]

"Then calculate whether I can leave Xu's house safely today?"

[Yes, Master, no matter how you commit suicide, you can do it.]

Hearing this, Xu Huan felt a little relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huan and Xuan Ling'er's eyes met, and Xu Huan asked softly, "Are you sure?"

Without waiting for Xuan Ling'er to reply, Xu Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke first.

"Xu Huan! Princess Ling'er wants to cancel the engagement, why don't you agree quickly!" Xu Jun felt that it was his turn to show up. He showed up to belittle Xu Huan, attract Xuan Ling'er's attention, win her favor, and fantasize that with his powerful talent, he would be able to become her Taoist partner one day.

Hearing this, Xuan Ling'er glanced at him with her phoenix eyes, her gaze like a gun.

The next moment, in the shocked gazes of everyone around, Xu Jun, who was three meters away from Xuan Ling'er, was suddenly hit in the chest as if by an invisible spear. He flew backwards, hit the wall of the hall, and finally collapsed to the ground.

"You, you ruined my cultivation?!" Xu Jun, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness in his body. He realized that his cultivation level from a nine-meridian Qi disciple had become an eight-meridian Qi disciple. He couldn't help but show horror on his face, and then looked at Xuan Ling'er in disbelief with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"I'm talking to my fiancé, and you have no right to interrupt. If you weren't Xu Huan's 'clan member', it wouldn't be as simple as destroying your Qi and meridian cultivation." Xuan Ling'er said lightly, as if she was just casually swatting a fly, without any ripples.

Then, Xuan Ling'er whispered to Xu Huan, "Do you agree?"

Seeing the scene just now, Xu Huan felt like déjà vu and asked in confusion: "Didn't we cancel the engagement?"

"No." Upon hearing this, Xuan Ling'er stretched out her right hand, and the next moment, two festive red marriage certificates appeared out of thin air in her snow-white hand.

Xu Huan saw that his name and the other person's name were clearly written on it.

"You didn't get my consent when we got engaged, so that's fine. But you didn't get my consent when you broke off the engagement either. That's unacceptable." Xuan Ling'er paused, shook her head slightly, and continued, "The marriage certificate has been in my hands the whole time, so when I got home and heard the news, I came to you in person to break off the engagement."

Looking at Xuan Ling'er's slightly immature face, Xu Huan seemed to see her bright eyes, and she gave him a mischievous smile that flashed by.

"Okay, I agree." Xu Huan couldn't guess what tricks Xuan Ling'er was going to play, but breaking off the engagement was his original intention, so he simply agreed.

Seeing that Xu Huan agreed, Xuan Ling'er had an idea as soon as he finished speaking. She turned her palm down, exhaled lightly, and attacked the two marriage certificates falling to the floor, instantly shattering them into powder and letting them fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Ling'er raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xu Junlin, her tone revealing a hint of unquestionableness. "Chief Xu, my engagement with Xu Huan has been cancelled. So, could you please help me kill Xu Huan to avoid dirtying my hands?"

Xu Huan, standing by, was startled when he heard this. "What kind of tricks are you trying to pull? Are you trying to be so exciting?" If the fairy mirror hadn't said I'd be fine, I'd probably have believed you really wanted to kill me...

Upon hearing this, Xu Junlin, who was sitting in the main seat, showed a slightly changed expression and his thoughts turned.

To kill or not to kill?

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Junlin decided to kill!

Even if it would offend the City Lord's Mansion, this was the Princess's request, or even an "order", so the City Lord's Mansion would probably not dare to retaliate. Perhaps they could use this opportunity to get in touch with the Princess, thereby strengthening the Xu family and making it bigger and stronger.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Junlin stood up suddenly, his aura rising. The fire-attributed Qi cultivation of the Four Lakes Qi Master made the air around him seem to be distorted by flames.
