C13 (1/2)

After leaving the Xiao family, the Duanmu family's people hurriedly left.

The expressions on everyone's faces weren't very good. There wasn't the arrogance and haughty attitude from before. There was only a kind of humiliation and fear.

These were the first words Duanmu Bote said after he had traveled a distance from the Xiao family. After hearing these words, no matter if it was Duanmu Yunrou or the young sect master of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, Tian Yuhao, neither of them objected.

However, because the Duanmu family had seen the Xiao family grow weaker and weaker over the years, they no longer regarded the Xiao family as a family that could talk about equality. He had always been unyielding towards the Xiao family. It couldn't even be said to be an alliance between allies, it was more like shouting at a vassal clan.

Even if Duanmu Yunrou wanted to cancel the marriage, he could not be bothered with the Xiao family's second young master. But if he did not have the support of the clan elders, would Duanmu Yunrou have the guts to do so?

Even if she was the little princess, if the elders of the Duanmu family disagreed, would she be able to come out this time?

It was all because of the secret support of the elders from the Duanmu family that Duanmu Yunrou had called for him to come to the Xiao family this time. They were clearly here to discuss how to end the engagement, but even an idiot would be able to tell that this was the Duanmu family's intention.

The Xiao family had already declined, and the Duanmu family was no longer willing to maintain an equal relationship with the Xiao family.

Although it was not stated explicitly that the relationship between the two parties had been completely cut off after so many years, the action of annulling the engagement had already made this clear. The strength of the Xiao family was insufficient, so the Duanmu family no longer cooperated with them.

A simple marriage annulment actually had a lot of implications behind it.

Of course, on this point, only Duanmu Bote was able to guess a little. As for Duanmu Yunrou, although sshe was intelligent, he did not know what was going on. From the beginning to the end, she had probably only thought of annulling the engagement, but as for everything else, he hadn't even considered it.

”Seventh Uncle, Father and the others have always said that the Xiao Clan was no longer able to continue on. From the looks of it, even though these people are in decline, it is said that a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.” The Xiao Clan's strength is not as weak as it seems on the surface. ”

It was the first time in Duanmu Yunrou's life that she suffered a blow. This young miss Qian Jin, who had never suffered any losses since she was young, was suddenly met with multiple setbacks today.

First was the matter of annulling the engagement. Although the marriage had been completely annulled, the look in someone's eyes, which was even more disdainful than when she was looking at him, made the young miss feel as if she had eaten a fly. It was extremely uncomfortable.

She even suspected that those rumors from before were true? Was that unlearned and lecherous second young master of the Xiao family really that person? Why was it that when he looked at her, there was no love, not even greed? There was only endless disgust?

”Remember! This young master ditched you, not you! ”

Even now, these words still echoed in his mind.

”Rou Er, how is your Sword Master now?”

Duanmu Bote asked with concern.

”We won't be able to summon them out within a short period of time. The previous sword attack completely planned for her soul power and required a period of time to recover. ”

Duanmu Yunrou laughed bitterly, the life form that the summoner summoned did not actually exist in this world. The reason why it could materialize directly was entirely due to the condensation of soul power.

The longer the summoned creature stayed in this world, the more soul power it would consume. Although they also had a certain amount of soul power, most of it required a summoner to provide them.

Because of this, above Illusory Soul Continent, summoners rarely continued to let summoned creatures appear by their side, it would consume too much energy. Even if it was Heaven rank Summoner, his soul power was not limitless.

Therefore, in general, other than when necessary, summoned creatures would temporarily return to their dimension, and then summon them again when necessary.

As long as the contract still existed, with a thought from the summoner, the summoning array would activate and appear in this world.
