Cangyun Airport.
Zhou Xuan returned to Cangyun City after a ten-year absence.
Ten years ago, his master had taken him away from the city to live in an unknown, remote mountain.
Over the past decade, Zhou Xuan had cultivated both medicine and martial arts, finally coming of age. He was now descending the mountain to fulfill an old promise made many years ago.
As he walked out of the crowded terminal, a black car sped towards him!
The car stopped, and a woman emerged. She displayed her fair, long legs and wore a light blue miniskirt, her tall figure immediately drawing the attention of countless onlookers!
"Wow, isn't that the renowned divine doctor Mu Yunxi of Cangyun City? What is she doing here?"
"Could she be here to pick someone up?"
"What?! What kind of important figure deserves a personal welcome from a national divine doctor?"
The bystanders were filled with envy and curiosity. Mu Yunxi was not only a divine doctor but also stunningly beautiful, naturally attracting many admirers.
However, despite the lively chatter around them, neither of the two individuals seemed affected.
Mu Yunxi walked up to Zhou Xuan.
Her gaze was indifferent, as if she were merely looking at an ordinary person before her.
A hint of arrogance flickered in her eyes, seemingly ingrained from birth!
"You are Zhou Xuan?"
Mu Yunxi's voice was calm, utterly devoid of emotion.
She merely glanced at Zhou Xuan before looking away, indicating that in her eyes, he was of no consequence, not even worth her attention!
Hearing her question, Zhou Xuan shrugged and nodded, about to respond when Mu Yunxi spoke again.
"Looking at you, I truly don't understand why my grandfather insisted on arranging this marriage engagement with you. But it doesn't matter, my grandfather is no longer alive. I have only one purpose for coming here today."
"To break off the engagement."
"This engagement was arranged by elders. Now that the elders are gone, it's naturally void. Zhou Xuan, I know it's not easy for someone like you to have an engagement with me, but you must also realize the vast gap between us. We are not from the same world."
Mu Yunxi stated her intentions clearly. Upon hearing her words, Zhou Xuan was stunned, and the surrounding crowd widened their eyes in disbelief at Mu Yunxi!
"My heavens! Divine Doctor Mu is engaged? And to someone like him?"
"This kid looks so shabby, yet he's engaged to the goddess Divine Doctor Mu? What's his background?"
"What are you afraid of? Divine Doctor Mu is a goddess! How many of her suitors are more impressive than this kid?"
The onlookers were shocked, finding it hard to believe that the famous divine doctor of Cangyun City had an engagement!
However, in contrast to their shock, Zhou Xuan remained remarkably calm.
He had initially thought Mu Yunxi had come to pick him up, but he hadn't expected her to come directly to break off the engagement.
Still, Zhou Xuan was aware of their engagement.
The Zhou family was once a powerful force in Cangyun City, leading to many families seeking engagement alliances. As Zhou Xuan was their only son, these engagements increased, and Mu Yunxi was one of them.
However, Zhou Xuan did not like Mu Yunxi. She was arrogant, self-important, and her condescending demeanor was particularly off-putting to him.
Aside from her beauty, Zhou Xuan couldn't find any other qualities he admired in her.
Furthermore, he had descended the mountain this time to repay a debt of gratitude. As for the past engagements, with so many of them, Zhou Xuan had long forgotten.
He had never taken them seriously anyway, as engagements were made by elders.
Yet, she was the only one who had come specifically to break it off.
As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If she wanted to break the engagement, he would grant her wish.
"Coincidentally, I have no interest anyway."
"Since you're bringing it up, it saves me the trouble."
Zhou Xuan spread his hands and smiled, agreeing to her terms with ease. This caused the surrounding onlookers to be greatly astonished!
From Zhou Xuan's tone, it sounded as if he looked down on Mu Yunxi?
"Hmph, you have quite the bold tone."
"But I understand. To establish yourself in Cangyun City, without this engagement to me, this is all the meager dignity you can muster."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down. Tell me what compensation you want, whether it's money or the status you desire."
Mu Yunxi glanced at him with a hint of disgust. She had expected breaking off the engagement to be simple, as he was merely an insignificant nobody.
But she hadn't anticipated Zhou Xuan acting as if he were doing her a favor, projecting an image as if he were the one looking down on her!
This made Mu Yunxi extremely displeased.
"No need, I don't require it."
"Don't require it? Zhou Xuan, you should think carefully. I'm offering you help out of respect for my grandfather, so don't be ungrateful."
"After today, you will never have the chance to touch the world I inhabit."
Mu Yunxi spoke again, a hint of anger surfacing on her face. Did Zhou Xuan really think he was still the young master of the Zhou family? Refusing her goodwill?
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, completely ignoring Mu Yunxi, and casually walked to the side to hail a taxi. He had never been interested in such narcissistic women.
Watching Zhou Xuan's actions, not only Mu Yunxi was angered, but the surrounding onlookers were also dumbfounded.
To be associated with a goddess like Mu Yunxi was a dream for countless people!
Furthermore, she was a divine doctor with an extraordinary status and background, yet Zhou Xuan had directly refused her. It was truly unbelievable!
"Miss, time is short. The patient is waiting."
As Mu Yunxi watched Zhou Xuan leave, a voice called out from behind her. Mu Yunxi turned, got into her car, and drove away from the airport!
At that moment.
Zhou Xuan, seated in the taxi, looked out at the passing scenery and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Ten years ago, the Zhou family had been the most prominent family in Cangyun City. Unfortunately, they had fallen into desperate straits overnight!
The Zhou family had suffered a sudden calamity, forcing Zhou Xuan to leave with his master, far away from this place!
Now, as he returned, while it was to repay the Lu family for their help when he left, Zhou Xuan also harbored personal intentions.
To investigate the downfall of the Zhou family and clear the humiliation they had once suffered!
"Brother, we're here."
The car stopped, directly outside Canglan Courtyard in Cangyun City.
This Canglan Courtyard was the territory of the Lu family. As one of the few prominent families in the city, they possessed immense wealth!
And this was Zhou Xuan's destination!
