Chapter 101 The Untamed 44
Ling Xi was brought back to her senses by a burst of noise. After seeing Lan Xichen's eyes, her mind went blank and she didn't know what to do.
He just stood there, lost in thought.
It wasn't until a loud noise reached her ears that she reacted.
Without waiting for Lan Xichen to say anything, she walked towards the source of the sound.
When she returned to the place where the students had lit the lanterns, she saw that the people fighting there were none other than her silly brother.
The one who fought with him, with a golden complexion that couldn't be concealed even in school uniform and a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows, who else could it be other than Jin Zixuan from Lanling Jin Clan?
Ling Xi's head was buzzing. This was not going according to the original plot. How could a fight break out?
At a glance, she saw Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan fighting. Xue Yang, Nie Huaisang, even the cute Wen Ning and the sensible Meng Yao were all trying to take sides. Several people almost pinned Jin Zixuan down and let Wei Ying punch him. Xue Yang even secretly kicked him twice.
Looking again, Lan Wangji, who was holding Wei Ying's side, was secretly helping Wei Ying, allowing him to kick Jin Zixuan a few times.
It seems that Jin Zixuan is not very popular. Almost everyone is helping his daughter Aying, and no one helps him.
But that's true, with Jin Zixuan's arrogant look, it would be strange for others to like him.
Ling Xi suddenly stopped being anxious. Wei Ying was definitely not standing up for Jiang Yanli this time. It must be that Jin Zixuan had provoked him, otherwise he would not have acted so rashly.
Anyway, it wasn't her Ying who was injured, so let Jin Zixuan be beaten for a while longer.
It just so happened that she didn't like him.
The result was that when Lan Qiren arrived here and shouted "How dare you" and asked them to stop, Wei Ying was not injured except for his clothes and hair being a little messy, but Jin Zixuan was in a terrible state, with his face bruised and swollen, so miserable that it was simply unbearable to look at.
Ling Xi walked over, and when Wei Ying saw her, he suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.
His hair was messy and stuck to his face, tears flashed in his eyes, he came up and pinched her sleeve, puffed up like a pufferfish, and said in a wronged voice: "Sister, this Golden Peacock bullied me."
Ling Xi felt distressed when she saw him like this. A cold look flashed in her eyes, and she asked gently, "What's wrong? Why did you fight with him?"
Wei Ying turned around and glared at Jin Zixuan, "It's still this golden peacock!"
Finally, Meng Yao came out to explain: "Ah Xi, this is what happened. We were lighting lanterns here, and Master Jin and Miss Jiang suddenly had a conflict. Master Jin looked down on Miss Jiang and didn't care much about the engagement with Miss Jiang. He even said that there was no need to mention it again. Then he said that Master Jiang of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan had thought of arranging an engagement for Wuxian and Miss Jiang before, and even slandered their reputations. Wuxian was so angry that he argued with Master Jin for a few words. Master Jin's words were rude, and Wuxian couldn't help but fight."
After listening to Meng Yao's entire explanation, Ling Xi wondered if Jin Zixuan had some serious brain disease.
She looked at Jin Zixuan, who was beaten to a state of disgrace. Her eyes were no longer gentle, but frighteningly cold. "Mr. Jin, do you admit what A Yao said?"
Jin Zixuan looked embarrassed and remained silent, which was considered as acknowledging what he said.
Ling Xi snorted coldly, and said in a bad tone: "You can't slander others without evidence. It turns out that this is the family education of the Lanling Jin Clan. Wei Yu has learned a lesson today."
Jin Zixuan looked up at her angrily: "You..." Ling Xi didn't care about his anger at all, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Jin, if you are not satisfied with the marriage with Miss Jiang, you can ask the Jin Sect Master and Mrs. Jin to cancel the engagement. I don't think they will force you. But you don't have the courage, but you vent your anger on Miss Jiang, a woman, and other irrelevant people. Is this what a grown man should do? Or do you expect Miss Jiang to really do something so that you can legitimately propose to cancel the engagement without damaging the reputation of your Lanling Jin family?"
Ling Xi's almost naked ridicule made Jin Zixuan look extremely ugly. He was born in the Lanling Jin family, was the only legitimate son, and was raised in luxury. He had always been proud and arrogant, and had never been ridiculed like this before.
Ling Xi looked at Jiang Yanli, who was standing aside with a pale face and tears in her eyes. To be honest, she didn't hate Jiang Yanli, but her vision of people was indeed not good.
"Miss Jiang," Ling Xi called her, his voice was calm, but it sounded gentle, "There are some things I shouldn't say, but I still want to advise Miss Jiang. As the only legitimate daughter of the five great families, your status is no worse than that of Mr. Jin. You are beautiful and gentle, tough, and good at cooking. Don't think that you are not as good as him. How do you know if he is worthy of you?
Miss Jiang, women should think more about themselves. Love yourself more. There are so many good men in the world. If he doesn't like you, just abandon him. Why bother hanging on to this crooked tree of his? It's not worth it to break the dignity of your Yunmeng Jiang family and make your Yunmeng Jiang family inferior to him. Even though the pain of the moment makes people sad, I think Miss Jiang is not the kind of person who can't let go. "
Her firm tone of voice cheered up the women around her.
When Jiang Yanli heard Ling Xi's words, her fair and slender fingers curled up and her eyes became dazed.
She remembered how Jin Zixuan looked down on her every time he saw her, remembered the expression on his face when he said "don't mention it again", and remembered how Ah Cheng always had to be more tolerant towards Jin Zixuan because she, his elder sister, liked him.
A tear fell, and Jiang Yanli's heart was filled with bitterness, but at the same time she felt that what Sect Leader Wei said made a lot of sense.
If you don't want to, why force it?
After a few breaths, she stood up straight, gently took away Jiang Cheng's hand, straightened her clothes a little, and said to Ling Xi, "Thank you, Sect Master Wei. I'm very sorry, Master Wei, for causing trouble for you."
Wei Ying touched his hair and said with a smile, "No need, Miss Jiang, I'm very happy."
He naturally felt refreshed after beating up the Golden Peacock.
Then, Jiang Yanli looked at Jin Zixuan, her eyes still gentle and considerate, but without the deep affection of the past.
Jin Zixuan suddenly felt very panicked, as if something was about to leave him.
Jiang Yanli's throat was dry, and she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, saying, "Master Jin, since you have no interest in me, I will tell my father to cancel the engagement between the two families. From now on, Master Jin, you are free. I hope you can find your soulmate soon and everything will go well for you."
Jin Zixuan's expression changed, and his bruised face showed disbelief.
He had thought about breaking off the engagement several times, but when the day finally came, he was a little at a loss.
Jiang Yanli bowed to everyone, and her brother said, "Acheng, let's go."
Jiang Cheng replied: "Okay, sister."
Before he finished speaking, he punched Jin Zixuan in the face: "I've been fed up with you for a long time."
After beating the guy, Jiang Cheng’s stinky face looked much better. He flicked his sleeves, helped Jiang Yanli and left.
Sorry, it's late.
