Chapter 6—Cliché Marriage Contract Divorce.
The Mu Patriarch sat on the largest throne, which was placed in front of the wall of the room. All the Mu elders sat next to the patriarch.
With three on the left side of the patriarch and three on the right side in chairs, which were a little low, from the patriarch's throne, showing their status.
While ordinary members sat on the available chairs in the room, filling them. In the entire room, there were more than 500 people at a glance.
Three chairs were placed in front of the patriarch, on which three members sat. The chairs were comfortable as soft pillows were attached to chairs.
In the middle was the girl who seemed to be around sixteen years, with porcelain white skin, slender figure with a cute baby face, long jet black hair with ample curves in front and back, long slender legs—a typical Jade beauty.
She was dressed in a green silk brocade robe, which had golden edges, and it was embroidered with a symbol of flowers and a golden sword on the chest. The flowers enhanced her beauty.
Golden sword had her status and name embroidered in it—True Disciple-Liu Ying.
Next to Liu Ying's left was a middle-aged person with a muscular build, neatly tied long black hair, who wore a silk red robe which had mountain patterns with gold edges.
His red robe also had a golden sword embroidered on its chest. And on it, his name was written—Grand Elder-Le Yang. The elder had a cold temperament.
He had an arrogant look on his face, which was almost 90 degrees facing the ceiling, glancing at everyone in the room like a ruler.
On the other side, right of Liu Ying, was a young man who was looking to be around 18 years old handsome man with a sharp, straight nose, soft black eyes, and long hair tied with a male hairpin in a brocade purple robe with a purple jade belt on his waist.
Everyone in the room was glancing at each other, feeling the tense atmosphere.
"She is very beautiful, right?" Someone whispered, breaking the silence. Everyone began chit-chatting.
"Of course, she will be beautiful after all, she is one of the SevenButterflies in Xi City."
"I just want to marry her, even if I were to become crippled."
"Look at your face, heaven would fall if she were to smile at you."
"Why you!!"
"…."
"…"
"How could Heavenly toilet cleaner have the marriage contract with her? Lucky trash."
"Yeah! He should know his place and break up with her."
"…."
"…"
"Hey! Isn't that Zhen Jie—cruel SkinRipper, I heard he likes to rip skin apart."
"Yeah! He is the most dangerous one in this room."
"I heard that he doesn't sleep without killing five people a day!"
"…."
"…"
"He is the grand elder of the holy sword sect; he looks so stern."
"Let's hope that Mu Clan doesn't get on his bad side."
"He killed an entire clan of more than 10,000, just because they failed to serve him a good tea."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Those two guys are they powerful? Handsome young guy, and the man with a face or neck problem," Someone asked, not understanding why everyone is so afraid of them.
"Idiot! You don't know who they are?"
"Yeah! Who are they? I just know the lady is one of seven beautiful women from Xi City, hence seven butterflies."
"Tch! You should read, they are from the holy sword sect, which is on almost par with the Chu dynasty, one of the strongest powers on the WesternChuContinent."
"Holy Sword Sect! I didn't know that Liu Ying joined that sect?"
"Joined? She is the niece of the holy sword sect master."
"…"
".."
Everyone was chit-chatting soon the room was filled with noise.
"Sorry for troubling you like this, patriarch Mu," Liu Yang said in her crisp voice, breaking the noise in the room, looking worried about something.
Everyone turned silent, knowing that it was an important discussion.
Mu patriarch solemnly asked, "Xiao Ying, did you come to break the marriage contract?" He was no idiot after running the clan for so many years. He understood the purpose of their visit to the Mu clan.
"Liu Ying is already a Rank 1 Energy cultivator, and she is considered one of the brightest geniuses in the entire Western Chu Continent."
"No way she would be willing to marry a trash like Mu Chen."
"Mu Chen? It's heavenly toilet cleaner." Everyone turned noisy up hearing Mu Patriarch's question.
Before Liu Ying could even reply, the Zhen Jie on the side arrogantly replied with a cruel grin, "Silence insects!!!" Dismissing the noise, and continued, "Yes, it's for dismissing the marriage contract."
Hearing his words, Mu patriarch became silent and understood that their clan was going to get humiliated.
In the cultivation world, the face is very important. It's not about men or women, it's about face.
If someone breaks away from a marriage contract, it only means that they are weak!
Even if one is trash, due to the power behind them, the other party would have to marry, so a marriage contract break meant that they bent their knees!
Mu clan couldn't fight against the Holy Sword sect.
'How to not lose Mu Clan's face, while not making the holy sword sect angry?' Mu Patriarch was musing about the situation and wanted to get the best of both.
"Finally! Mu Chen should understand where he stands."
"I can finally try to get her attention and maybe…maybe marry her one day."
"…"
"…"
Many members of the Mu clan were getting thrilled that Mu Chen would get his marriage contract broken.
But they weren't as clever as the Mu patriarch and the elders. While they were laughing at Mu Chen, the intelligent, witty members of the Mu clan were wondering how they would show their faces in public.
Everyone would laugh at not just Mu Chen but the entire Mu clan.
