NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 3 Refined and Amiable Jiang Minghan, Not Here to Cancel the Engagement
Su Mingyue, dressed in white, had a tall and slender figure, with a face that was both delicate and stunning.
Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her skin was smooth and flawless, and her long black hair flowed down her back, as if she had stepped out of a scroll painting.
Even though she no longer had any cultivation, it did not diminish the elegance she once held as the saintess of the Butian God Sect.
“Mingyue greets father and the elders…”
After arriving in the hall, Su Mingyue first greeted the head of the Su family and the elders.
She then looked at Jiang Minghan, who was seated in the main seat, and couldn’t help but feel a trace of awe.
The world praised the young master of the hidden immortal clan, Jiang Minghan, as having the potential of a true immortal, and seeing him today, she realized it was true.
Dressed in white, otherworldly and exceptional, with an immortal bone and aura, his every move exuded a sense of harmony with the heavens and the earth.
Even with her calm and uncompetitive nature, Su Mingyue couldn’t help but feel a ripple in her heart.
If she hadn’t experienced the strange loss of her cultivation,
This immortal-like man before her should have been her future husband.
“Mingyue greets Young Master Jiang.”
However, Su Mingyue was not an ordinary person. She quickly calmed her emotions and greeted Jiang Minghan.
“Miss Su, there’s no need for such formalities.”
Hearing this, Jiang Minghan withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly.
No wonder she was a destiny’s favored one. Her appearance and demeanor were indeed extraordinary.
In fact, Jiang Minghan had already figured out many things about Su Mingyue earlier.
She had shown incredible talent from a young age, making a name for herself as a prodigy once in five thousand years.
She was then taken as a disciple by the Grand Elder of the Butian God Sect, who happened to be passing by Ziwei Star, and was brought back to the sect.
It was suspected that she possessed a special celestial physique, allowing her to progress rapidly in her cultivation.
Despite being born in a small place like Xuejing City, with innate deficiencies, she later caught up with and surpassed many disciples from major families and sects, becoming the saintess of the Butian God Sect.
Her achievements were widely known and caused quite a stir.
However, three years ago, for some unknown reason, Su Mingyue’s cultivation suddenly disappeared overnight, turning her into a cripple.
Her master suspected foul play and thoroughly investigated the Butian God Sect, but to no avail.
Later, to find out the reason for Su Mingyue’s loss of cultivation, her master ventured into a forbidden area and never returned, leaving her fate unknown.
Without her cultivation and her master, Su Mingyue naturally lost her status as the saintess and returned to her family.
A classic “trash to treasure” story template, she was definitely a destiny’s favored one.
As for what would happen next, Jiang Minghan could easily guess.
She would solve her cultivation problem, likely with the help of some mysterious old grandpa or some fortuitous encounter,
And then she would rise rapidly, shocking and slapping everyone, reclaiming her status.
Her master, whose fate was unknown, would return safely and might even break through to a higher realm, becoming her strong backing.
As the villainous fiancé, Jiang Minghan’s fate was predictable.
So why cancel the engagement?
Not canceling it meant gaining a destiny’s favored one as a fiancée.
Moreover, he could bind Su Mingyue using the system and receive cultivation insights in return.
The choice was obvious to anyone with a mind.
Seeing Jiang Minghan’s gentle and warm demeanor, without the arrogance she had imagined,
Su Mingyue was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised.
She recalled telling her maid that these were just rumors and felt a bit guilty. She also unintentionally grew fonder of Jiang Minghan.
Thinking of this, Su Mingyue planned to take the initiative to cancel their engagement,
To save Jiang Minghan from any bad reputation.
“Young Master Jiang, you’ve come here today, presumably about our engagement. I am aware of my situation and, as a cripple, I certainly do not want to trouble you…”
She carefully chose her words.
“Engagement?”
But before she could finish,
Jiang Minghan looked appropriately surprised, then shook his head with a smile, “Miss Su, you’re overthinking. I’m not here to cancel the engagement. I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“What?” Su Mingyue was stunned.
“Actually, I came today just to visit Miss Su, with no other intentions.”
“Three years ago, due to my closed-door cultivation, I couldn’t go to the Butian God Sect to stand up for Miss Su in time, and I feel a bit guilty. So after coming out of seclusion, I came to the Su family immediately.”
“I hope Miss Su understands, it’s not because I’m heartless.”
Jiang Minghan continued, his expression showing appropriate guilt, his eyes warm and natural, exuding an otherworldly aura.
Three years ago, when Su Mingyue lost her cultivation, he was indeed in closed-door cultivation.
But it wasn’t that he was too busy to go to the Butian God Sect; he just couldn’t be bothered.
“What?”
Upon hearing this, not only was Su Mingyue completely stunned,
But everyone in the Su family hall was also dumbfounded, wondering if they had heard wrong.
Not here to cancel the engagement?
They had all been prepared for the engagement to be canceled.
After all, the current Su Mingyue was hardly a match for Jiang Minghan, and how could she catch the attention of the hidden immortal clan?
But Jiang Minghan said he wasn’t here to cancel the engagement, and he came immediately after coming out of seclusion to visit Su Mingyue.
This left the Su family members in shock, unable to believe it. “Young Master…”
The old man in the hall, who was hunched over, was also surprised by Jiang Minghan’s words.
They were indeed here to cancel the engagement.
But Jiang Minghan waved his hand, signaling him not to interfere.
He continued to smile, “It seems Miss Su has many misunderstandings about me. But from beginning to end, I have never had the thought of canceling the engagement.”
“Of course, if Miss Su feels that the engagement is a burden or trouble, we can cancel it. I won’t force you.”
To have a destiny’s favored one as a fiancée and a future helper,
Not wanting that would be foolish.
Of course, Jiang Minghan didn’t want to behave too out of character, lest it affect the system’s binding success rate and the so-called feedback multiplier.
He was a top-tier, wealthy, and kind-hearted person, so gaining favorability was easy.
“Young Master Jiang…”
Hearing this, even with Su Mingyue’s calm and peaceful demeanor, she was extremely shocked.
Her mouth slightly opened, her mind buzzing, unable to fully process Jiang Minghan’s words.
Could it be that she had overthought?
Her fiancé had never intended to cancel their engagement?
Moreover, he was willing to respect her wishes and not force her?
As the young master of the hidden immortal clan, born to look down on everything,
Jiang Minghan shouldn’t be so considerate of her, a cripple.
