Just as Wu Tian was about to lose control of his anger, Shangguan Wan'er's words were like a bucket of cold water falling from the sky, extinguishing most of the anger in Wu Tian's heart.
”Brother Yi, don't you know that Wan'er's heart belongs to you? Even though that Wu Tian grew up with me, I don't have any feelings for him. ”
This sentence was like a sharp sword stabbing deeply into Wu Tian's heart, causing him to feel endless heartache. At the same time, he slowly retracted his extended hand. However, he clenched his fist tightly, his fingernails piercing his fingers. Drops of fresh red blood dripped from the gaps of his fingers.
However, Wu Tian didn't seem to feel any pain as he just stood there numbly without moving an inch.
He really wanted to barge in and ask Shangguan Wan'er about it. Since she didn't like him, why did she act like she liked him previously? Was it really that easy to deceive her?
However, he couldn't afford to lose face. Before her wedding, her fiancée had done this sort of thing with Xuanyuan family's Xuanyuan Yi.
Once the other families found out about this, the Shangguan and Wu family would become the laughingstock of the others. Wu Tian would even bring a big green hat to ridicule wherever he went.
”Whooosh.”
Wu Tian slowly closed his eyes and calmed his angry heart before exhaling lightly. He thought to himself, ”Since the other party's heart is not with me, there is no need for me to force it.”
Wu Tian seemed to have thought it through. He slowly loosened his fist and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. He walked towards the door with heavy steps. He did not want to stay in a place that made his heart ache.
”Since you don't like Wu Tian, then why did you agree to marry him?” Xuanyuan Yi asked in confusion.
When Wu Tian, who was just about to leave, heard Xuanyuan Yi's question, he abruptly stopped in his tracks because this was the question he wanted to ask as well.
Suddenly, the entire room quieted down. Wu Tian's breathing became lighter and his ears pricked up, afraid that he would miss the answer that would confuse him.
”Because, because …” Shangguan Wan'er hesitated.
”What is it exactly? Why don't you tell me?” Xuanyuan Yi was a little anxious.
”My father wanted to obtain the Wu Clan's《 Heavenly Element Mantra》 and《 Secret Sect's Big Hand Seal》, so he wanted me to marry into the Wu Clan and wait for an opportunity to record these two techniques before bringing them back. ”My dad forced me to do this, I had no choice.” Shangguan Wan'er saw that Xuanyuan Yi was angry and immediately told him the reason without any further warning from Shangguan Jinghong.
Of course, these words also entered Wu Tian's ears.
Wu Tian's heart was in turmoil when he heard the answer. He almost fell to the ground. At the same time, he could vaguely recall the Shangguan Jinghong who loved him the most.
Besides, Shangguan Jinghong and his father, Wu Hao, were good brothers. He would never have imagined that Shangguan Jinghong's usual friendliness would hide such evil intentions.
If he had heard this from someone else, he would not have believed it. He would have even laughed at it. What was the relationship between the two families? However, who was Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Jinghong's own daughter?
”So that's how it is.” Listening up to here, Wu Tian understood everything. He understood why Shangguan Jinghong was so good to him, and he also understood why Shangguan Wan'er pretended to like him even though she didn't like him.
”Who is it?” At this time, Xuanyuan Yi had also sensed the presence of someone outside. His expression became cold and he directly leaped out of bed, extending a palm towards Wu Tian.
At this time, Wu Tian was fuming and felt the other party's attack. Without even thinking, he displayed the second seal of his ”Secret Sect's Great Palm Seal” and the Great Vajra Revolving Seal, directly clashing with Xuanyuan Yi's palm.
