No title, no marriage? Do you think I'm some kind of lapdog?

"Why can't I do that?"

"Even if you agree to marry me now, even on our wedding night, it will be too late!"

"Hehehe... Do you know why?"

"Because I, this young master, have no interest in licking your boots right now!"

"I think you're dirty!"

Unmoved, Su Chuang swiftly tore the marriage certificate to shreds!

"You shameless, ungrateful wretch, you don't deserve to be a daughter-in-law of the Su family!"

"You don't deserve it!"

After saying that, he strode away and headed to the Ministry of War Archives.

"Wait...did the sun rise in the west today?"

"This is going to be interesting. Now that Ye Qingyue has lost her status as the prospective daughter-in-law of the Duke of Xin, let's see what she can do."

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Ye Qingyue's face turned extremely ugly.

She hadn't expected Su Chuang to be so resolute.

In the past, she only needed a smile and a sweet word to win over Su Chuang and make him run around in circles.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be on her wedding day today.

Accepting Yue Xinyang's suggestion, we should take drastic measures to completely squeeze out Su Chuang's last bit of value.

Then she could kick Su Chuang to the curb...

"You...you..."

But now, as Ye Qingyue watched Su Chuang's departing figure, she suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

For the first time, a strange, cold sense of loss of control welled up inside her.

Although she immediately suppressed this feeling, a more angry and humiliating inner scream rang out: How dare Su Chuang?!

But after shouting, she felt a little regretful. If she had known it would turn out like this, she shouldn't have caused trouble.

Instead, she completed the wedding in a proper and respectful manner and became the wife of the heir apparent of the Duke of Xin.

Now look what's happened! They've gained nothing and have completely severed ties with the Duke of Xin.

"It's alright, Qingyue, you still have me."

Taking the opportunity, Yue Xinyang pulled Ye Qingyue into his arms and comforted her.

Although he was also quite surprised by this scene, things were still under control.

However, Ye Qingyue's usefulness has diminished considerably.

Since that's the case, he decided it was time to send the memorial impeaching Su Chuang's heir to the palace.

"Waaaah... Brother Xinyang... You're the best to me..."

"That Su Chuang is so mean, he actually humiliated me like that... Waaah..."

Ye Qingyue also turned around and hugged Yue Xinyang in public.

Tears streamed down her face, but a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

"Su Chuang, you've made me lose face today, and I'll make you pay!"

She blamed all the mistakes on Su Chuang's madness.

She absolutely refused to admit that her greed had caused all of this.

"Don't cry, Qingyue."

"I firmly believe that hothead won't live more than three days..."

Yue Xinyang looked in the direction Su Chuang had left with a cunning expression.

You should know that there are many people in the entire capital who want Su Chuang dead.

Since only Su Chuang died, no one questioned the cause of his parents' deaths...

…………

"Let's see what I can get."

After leaving the Marquis of Nüying's residence, Su Chuang went directly to the Archives Department of the Ministry of War to complete his daily check-in task.

Since he was new to the area and unfamiliar with the people and place, he naturally needed help for his safety.

He just doesn't know what kind of general he'll get when he draws an SSS-level general card.

Is it Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King? Or Li Cunxiao, the general who couldn't defeat Li?

or……

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully summoned Yue Fei, a historical general of China!]

"Holy crap!"

Su Chuang, who was walking on the road, suddenly shouted, startling the people nearby who thought someone had gone crazy.

But before he could even be happy for three seconds, he heard:

[Due to unforeseen circumstances, another historical Chinese military general, surnamed Wanyan, also descended upon this world.]

"Hmm? Wanyan?"

Su Chuang walked along, lost in thought.

He guessed that the summoned generals would be loyal to him to the best of their ability.

As for those that come along with it, they will most likely be enemies.

Whether this guess is correct or not, we'll have to wait for further verification.

"This is the Ministry of War Archives. All unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately!"

Upon seeing Su Chuang, the two guards immediately drew their swords and blocked his path.

"I am the heir apparent of the Duke of Xin, get out of my way at once!"

Su Chuang took out a waist tag to prove his identity.

The main issue is that he has just turned eighteen and has not yet undergone the coming-of-age ceremony, therefore he cannot inherit the title of Duke of Xin.

"Um?"

"That won't do either!"

The two were somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

They then exchanged a glance and became even more opposed to Su breaking in.

This scene aroused Su Chuang's suspicion; these two clearly knew some unspeakable secrets.

Logically speaking, with his waist token, he could even have an audience with the emperor.

Not to mention the small Ministry of War Archives!

There must be something fishy going on here!

"Get out of here!"

A cold glint flashed in Su Chuang's eyes, and his anger erupted.

The guard on the left had just drawn his knife halfway when Su Chuang swiftly kicked him in the shin with his right foot.

The gatekeeper let out a scream and fell forward, losing his balance.

Su Chuang neither dodged nor flinched, but instead seized the other man's wrist holding the knife, twisting and pressing it down!

"Snap!"

The sound of bone cracking and the crisp sound of the steel knife hitting the ground rang out almost simultaneously.

Using the momentum of his opponent's forward charge, Su Chuang executed another clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw, slamming his heavy body hard into his right-side companion.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The guard on the right had just raised his knife when he was knocked aside by his companion's body and lost his balance.

Su Chuang then seized the fleeting opening, stepped close, and delivered a precise elbow strike to Su Chuang's chin.

"puff--"

The latter didn't even utter a sound before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed limply.

The entire battle ended in just three or five breaths.

As a result, the two burly guards were lying on the ground, one clutching his leg and groaning, the other unconscious.

Su Chuang himself staggered half a step, and only managed to steady himself by grabbing the door frame.

"This body... is utterly useless!"

"We must start training as soon as possible; we can't wait a moment longer."

A strong sense of crisis and a desire to become stronger suddenly rose in Su Chuang's heart.

[Today's check-in task completed. Jia Xu will surely meet you and pledge his loyalty today.]

[Tomorrow's check-in task will begin at midnight, so stay tuned!]

"Check-in complete. The next task is to find Yue Fei and Jia Xu."

"Then I'll just wait and see how I check in tomorrow..."

Just as Su Chuang was about to leave, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to a row of rosewood cabinets in the corner marked "Fifth Year of Kaiyuan".

That was the year his father died in battle.

His mother later passed away due to excessive grief.

"This is?"

Su Chuang approached as if possessed, his fingertips brushing against the dusty dossier.

His eyes narrowed, and he quickly pulled out a copy of "The Record of the Fallen in the Northern Frontier" and turned directly to the page with "Duke Su Zhenbei of Xin State".

The paper feels slightly rough to the touch, but the ink is only on the surface, indicating that it has been rewritten using a special technique.

The original text has probably been destroyed long ago.

But the other side made a mistake.

Su Chuang's fingertip paused at a damaged spot at the bottom of the page, where the Ministry of War's official seal should have been stamped, but now only a faint red smudge remained.

"It seems my father didn't die a normal death in battle, but was framed!"

He felt a chill run through him.

Someone in the Ministry of War intervened in my father's death.

The Yue family, and even Ye Qingyue, are probably already part of the scheme.

He quietly tore off the tattered page and tucked it into the lining of his jade belt.

This is a relic left by the original owner's mother. Its hollow design was originally intended for storing items.

But just as he straightened up...

A little angel appeared behind Su Chuang, holding an imperial edict.

"Your Highness, the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Xin, receive the imperial decree!"

The little angel, with a cold and aloof demeanor, opened the imperial edict and read aloud:

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Su Chuang, the heir apparent of the Duke of Xin, is hereby ordered to enter the palace immediately for an audience with the Emperor, without any delay."

"Otherwise! Execute him immediately!"

"Execute immediately!"
