Chen Nan had only been gone for two years.
Two years was not long at all!
Yet.
So many infuriating things had happened upon his return.
For instance.
Jiang Jiancheng, knowing full well that Jian Ning was his woman.
Insisted on presiding over Jian Ning and Han Jian's engagement ceremony.
If he had known this would happen.
He would not have saved Jiang Jiancheng's life multiple times back then.
Indeed, times had changed!
As Chen Nan let out an enraged roar.
Jiang Jiancheng also saw Chen Nan.
The moment he saw Chen Nan, his pupils contracted sharply.
There was shock.
And fear.
He never expected Chen Nan to return after disappearing for two years.
However.
He did not regret seeking refuge with the Han family.
Because water flows downhill, and people seek higher ground.
What the Han family offered was far more than what Chen Nan had given him back then.
He did not believe he had done anything wrong.
After regaining his composure, he said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Chen. Two years have passed since we last met, and you are still as young as ever."
"However."
"This union today is a match made in heaven."
"I do not believe I was wrong in presiding over the engagement ceremony for Young Master Han and Miss Jian."
Old Master Jian and the others also saw Chen Nan.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
Two years was indeed not a long time.
But so much had happened.
There were countless moments when Earth needed Chen Nan to step forward and uphold justice.
But he never appeared.
Therefore.
In their hearts.
Chen Nan had become a dead man.
Because they knew Chen Nan's character.
He was benevolent, righteous, and concerned for the common people.
If he were still alive.
He would never stand idly by and ignore worldly affairs.
It was for this reason.
That they had agreed to Jian Ning and Han Jian's marriage.
But they never expected.
A dead man would return alive.
Then they thought.
What difference would it make even if he returned?
The world had already changed.
Even if Chen Nan was once honored as the God of War protecting the nation.
In the end.
He was just a common citizen.
And now.
It was the era of the Four Great War Gods.
Even Chen Nan could not contend with them.
Life was a simple choice.
They knew how to choose!
Perhaps Chen Nan had helped the Jian family and saved Old Master Jian's life.
But.
Jian Ning had also been in a relationship with him for a considerable period.
Enough to repay the favor owed to him.
With this thought.
The Jian family members felt a sense of peace, believing they no longer owed Chen Nan anything.
------
The guests present were also greatly surprised.
They had not expected Jian Ning to be Chen Nan's woman.
Even less so.
That Chen Nan would appear at Han Jian's engagement ceremony.
This was clearly an act of provocation!
Considering the influence of the Han family in Jizhou, and even across the entire country.
The guests looked at Chen Nan with pity in their eyes.
Causing trouble at a Han family engagement ceremony.
Would he have a good end?
Han Jian's face turned ashen.
He was like a raging lion.
He had not expected.
Anyone would dare to disrupt his wedding ceremony.
Even less so.
That Jian Ning had been someone else's woman.
This made him feel utterly disgusted.
The woman who was once high and mighty in his heart.
And pure and sacred, had instantly become used goods!
This was unbearable for him, who had germophobia.
Not to mention.
Chen Nan had come to his engagement ceremony to cause trouble in front of the entire Jizhou high society.
This was not just slapping his face.
It was also trampling on the Han family's unassailable dignity!
Seeing that Han Jian was about to erupt in anger.
Jian Ning spoke, "Chen Nan, you should leave!"
"We are already in the past."
"Now I am about to become Han Jian's fiancée."
"I hope you will not bother me again in the future."
These words were not from the heart.
For she still deeply loved Chen Nan.
But.
She had to keep her distance from Chen Nan.
Not only for her family.
But also for Chen Nan's sake.
Even though she knew Chen Nan's strength was formidable.
The Han family was backed by Han Feiyang.
He was a lord under Mo Yuan, the God of War of the Northern Territory.
A super expert at the peak of the Mahayana stage.
Even if Chen Nan was very strong.
Could he defeat that person?
If she insisted on following Chen Nan for love.
It would be an irresponsible act.
Irresponsible to her family.
And irresponsible to Chen Nan.
Han Jian let out a cold laugh, "You dare to cause trouble at my engagement ceremony, and you still want to leave?"
"Jian Ning, do you think I have no temper?"
"Although I didn't expect you to be used goods."
"Since your ex-boyfriend is here."
"Then kill him, and forever cut off your thoughts of him!" He changed from his previously gentle and elegant demeanor, laughing like a madman.
Jian Ning's face turned as pale as wax. She had not expected Han Jian to have such deep killing intent towards Chen Nan.
Even less so, that he would call her used goods.
This completely enraged her.
After all.
Miss Jian was also once Chen Nan's woman.
A woman cherished by a lion, how could she not have some spirit?
She gritted her teeth and looked at Han Jian, "If you dare to kill him, then I will accompany him to the underworld."
"I would rather die than marry you."
Chen Nan smiled, "That's right! That's how it should be!"
"Our lives are not a tragic drama, why be so abusive?"
"You don't think I've been traveling for the past two years, do you?"
Although his mood had been terrible before.
But when Jian Ning said she would go to the underworld with him.
He knew.
Jian Ning had him in her heart.
She was just forced by reality.
And had to be so indifferent to him.
Han Jian's face turned green.
If Chen Nan's appearance was a slap in his face.
Then Jian Ning's words were equivalent to him wearing a giant green hat.
He clenched his fists and said word by word, "Even if you die, you are my woman."
"The wedding will proceed as scheduled."
"Even if you die, you will have to accompany me into the bridal chamber."
As these words were spoken.
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
They never expected Han Jian to say such a thing.
Jian Jianhua rushed onto the stage and said nervously, "Young Master Han, my daughter is young and ignorant, please do not take it to heart."
"You are the chosen son-in-law of our Jian family!"
"Our Jian family only recognizes you as our son-in-law!"
"Who is Chen Nan to compare with you?"
"What right does he have to be mentioned in the same breath as you?"
Slap!
Han Jian slapped Jian Jianhua to the ground.
He was dizzy, and there was a taste of blood in his mouth.
Then.
He stomped on Jian Jianhua's chest, glaring at him, "You scoundrel, didn't you say your daughter was always single? If that's the case, why did Chen Nan appear?"
The others looked at Han Jian in terror.
Beating his future father-in-law at an engagement banquet.
Han Jian's temper was far from ordinary.
Jian Jianhua looked uneasy, "I thought he was dead..."
"We'll settle our accounts later!" Han Jian kicked Jian Jianhua away and said to the approaching experts, "Come, kill him..."
"No!"
"Cripple his limbs."
He said, his eyes filled with ferocious malice, "Tonight, I will have my way with his woman in front of him!"
