In the Jiang family courtyard, a gentle breeze lingered, and the sunlight was slightly cool.

The hustle and bustle of the training ground had completely dissipated, replaced by an extremely oppressive, suffocating silence.

The entire Jiang family held their breath, heads bowed, faces flushed, filled with humiliation. In the vast clan mansion, you could hear a pin drop.

Just as three imposing figures strode in from outside the mansion gate, instantly overwhelming the entire Jiang family, making them unable to lift their heads.

The young woman at the head of the group wore a long blue dress, her figure was slender and graceful, her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her skin was as white as snow.

His brows carried an air of pride and arrogance, and he was surrounded by a faint spiritual aura. His temperament was otherworldly and his beauty unparalleled.

She was none other than Liu Ruyan, the eldest daughter of the Liu family and an unparalleled genius of Wutan City.

At this moment, there was no trace of gentleness or tenderness on that stunningly beautiful face, only bone-chilling coldness and undisguised disgust and contempt.

Liu Ruyan swept her gaze indifferently over the Jiang family courtyard, her eyes haughty, as if looking down on dust, completely disregarding the desolate Jiang family.

Beside her stood two Liu family elders with half-white beards and hair, their hands behind their backs, their auras deep and profound, their cultivation high.

Their gazes were sharp as eagles, sweeping across their surroundings. They exuded an arrogant and condescending air, and every inch of their aura was crushing the declining Jiang family.

Today, the Liu family has come to visit, not to reminisce or to visit relatives.

It was all just to annul the engagement.

In the center of the courtyard, Jiang Fan still stood quietly, his thin black figure alone, so quiet that he seemed to blend into his surroundings.

He remained calm and composed, his eyes expressionless and his demeanor wooden.

He instinctively looked up at the three figures walking towards him.

To all outsiders, he was still that useless mute.

Liu Ruyan slowly stepped forward, finally stopping three feet in front of Jiang Fan. Her cold gaze fell directly on the boy's thin face, without a trace of old affection or pity, only icy indifference.

"Jiang Fan."

A crisp, icy female voice rang out, clearly echoing throughout the courtyard and reaching the ears of every member of the Jiang family.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan merely blinked slightly, remaining unmoved.

Looking at Liu Ruyan's cold eyes, Jiang Fan sensed the extreme hostility emanating from her.

Seeing his expression, Liu Ruyan's contempt deepened, a cold smile curving her lips as she slowly spoke, each word like a knife:

"Today, I have come to the Jiang family with the elders of the Liu family, and there is only one matter to discuss."

"The marriage agreement between us, made three years ago out of gratitude by our parents, is now officially null and void."

These words, once spoken, struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, deeply impacting the hearts of all members of the Jiang family.

Overwhelmed by humiliation, the Jiang family members were suffocating, yet none dared to utter a word of rebuttal.

The Liu family is powerful and its prodigies are dazzling, while the Jiang family is in decline and Jiang Fan is a good-for-nothing.

This unequal marriage was already on the verge of collapse, and its cancellation today seems to have been a foregone conclusion long ago.

Liu Ruyan's eyes were icy cold, and her tone became increasingly forceful and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation:

"The marriage agreement back then stemmed from your father risking his life to save my entire Liu family."

"Our Liu family is deeply grateful for your life-saving grace. We have kept our promise and endured for three years without ever breaking the contract. We have done everything we could and have done right by Elder Jiang in heaven."

"Kindness is kindness, marriage is marriage, morality is morality, and future is future."

"Jiang Fan, you were born mute, unable to speak, and have a congenital disability. For more than ten years, every spiritual root test has come back negative. A person without spiritual roots cannot draw qi, and will be forever deprived of the path of cultivation, destined to be a useless person in the mortal world."

"As for me, Liu Ruyan, I possess a sixth-grade spiritual root and am a true celestial beauty! The difference between you and me is like heaven and earth; we are simply not from the same world."

"This marriage certificate is a stroke of luck for you, a great honor, the highest honor of your life. But for me, it is a disgrace, a constraint, a burden that hinders my progress!"

Every sentence was forceful and every word was piercing; the naked humiliation came crashing down without mercy.

The white-haired elder stepped forward at the opportune moment, his aged voice carrying a condescending admonition, his tone arrogant and indifferent:

"Young friend Jiang, it is a valuable quality in a person to know their own limitations."

"A good-for-nothing should be content with being a good-for-nothing, and should not be delusional and try to climb up to a prodigy. My young lady is exceptionally talented and has a bright future. She is definitely not someone like you, a useless person without spiritual roots and a mute, who is worthy of her."

"Today, my Liu family has taken the initiative to come and annul the engagement, settling past favors and not holding the Jiang family accountable for their decline, nor making things difficult for you as a lone person. This is already an act of consideration for past kindness and a great deal of face for the Jiang family."

"This engagement is hereby null and void. Our two families are now completely severed, owing each other nothing! From this day forward, you are forbidden from mentioning any connection whatsoever with my Liu family or my young lady!"

The humiliation was overwhelming and utterly disgraceful to the entire Jiang family.

All the clansmen bowed their heads, their faces flushed, their hearts filled with unbearable grief and indignation, yet they were helpless.

Such is the rule of the world: the strong are respected, while the weak are only fit to be trampled upon.

Without cultivation or talent, one cannot even protect one's own marriage contract or one's own dignity.

A speechless good-for-nothing has no right to refute, no confidence to fight back, and can only live a life of ridicule and humiliation.

Everyone accepted it, but Jiang Fan couldn't accept it.

Amidst the stunned and speechless gazes of everyone present, Jiang Fan, who had remained silent, slowly raised his slender five fingers.

He took a pen and paper, pricked his finger, and dripped blood onto the pen tip, writing a letter of divorce with blood as proof.

"Liu Ruyan, you don't need to put on such a domineering act. You want to annul the engagement simply because you think I, Jiang Fan, am a good-for-nothing and unworthy of a woman as proud as you. To put it bluntly, apart from your beauty, I don't care about anything else about you! The Yuntian Sect is indeed very strong, but I am still young and have plenty of time. In the years to come, what makes you think I can't turn things around!"

These words silenced the entire room.

Everyone's pupils constricted, their faces filled with disbelief!

Before everyone could recover, Jiang Fan continued to write several more lines of blood-red words, each one powerful and resounding!

"Miss Ruyan, for the sake of Old Master Liu Zhengyan, Jiang Fan would like to offer you a few words of advice: fortunes change, and one should never underestimate a young man's potential!"

"Excellent, what a great saying! Don't underestimate a young man's potential! My Jiang family's former young patriarch was truly extraordinary!" an elder of the Jiang family exclaimed repeatedly.

"The debt of gratitude has been repaid, but the humiliation remains! For twelve years, the world has humiliated me for being mute, laughing at me as a useless person without spiritual roots. Today, the Liu family comes to annul the engagement, trampling on my dignity and disgracing the Jiang family!"

"I, Jiang Fan, will never forget this utter humiliation!"

Jiang Fan wrote the words in blood, each character powerful and resounding. He lost so much blood that he almost stumbled.

The blood-red characters shone brightly, reflecting the slender yet increasingly upright figure of the black-clad youth, and an indomitable spirit swept across the entire scene!
