Xuan Yuan Rou looked at Tan Yun with teary eyes, her brows furrowing as she said, “Tan Yun, do you remember the last time I told you that I saw a scene in my mind? A famous man was holding the sword in your hand and killing me?”
Tan Yun nodded, “I remember, what’s wrong?”
“I can’t deceive myself, Tan Yun. I don’t want to deceive you either. I love him more than I love you… I’m sorry…”
“I want to annul our engagement because my heart is very troubled.”
“Before I figure out who he is, I can’t face you and everyone else as your fiancée.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He nodded, “I respect your choice. From now on, you are no longer my fiancée.”
“Thank you.” Xuan Yuan Rou’s tears fell like rain, “I’m sorry, truly sorry.”
“You don’t need to say sorry.” Tan Yun's nose felt a bit sour.
He knew that it would be very difficult for him and Xuan Yuan Rou to be together in this lifetime. Once she regained her memory, would she still forgive him?
Tan Yun sighed deeply, thinking to himself, “It’s better this way. When she regains her memory in the future, I can talk to her about many things.”
“But I still feel sorry for you.” Xuan Yuan Rou choked up, “I hate myself for loving two men at the same time, and I hate myself more for the fact that the one I love more isn’t you.”
“Tan Yun… can we still be friends?”
Tan Yun’s eyes filled with tears as he smiled and said, “Of course we can. And remember, if one day you want to marry me again, I will still accept you.”
“Tan Yun, please don’t say that… Wuwu.” Xuan Yuan Rou said sadly, “The more you say this, the more I feel sorry for you.”
“You saved my life and also saved Xuan Yuan Immortal City, yet I’m the one who is breaking off the engagement, I…”
“Fool, don’t cry anymore.” Tan Yun reached out and wiped away the tears on Xuan Yuan Rou’s cheeks, “Alright, let’s go out and tell everyone about the annulment of our engagement.”
“Mm.” Xuan Yuan Rou bit her rosy lips and nodded.
Tan Yun waved his right arm, and the soundproof barrier dissipated.
“Rou'er, Yun'er, what’s wrong with you?” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong looked at the tearful and red-eyed Xuan Yuan Rou, asking with concern.
Before Tan Yun could speak, Xuan Yuan Rou clenched her fragrant fist and said, “Uncle, I have annulled my engagement with Tan Yun.”
“What did you say!” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong's old body trembled, then he stared at Tan Yun, anger flashing in his eyes, “Tan Yun! What part of my Rou'er is unworthy of you?”
“You already have seven wives, and Rou'er is still willing to declare in Xuan Yuan Immortal City that you are her fiancé. You… really infuriate me!”
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng also glared at Tan Yun, “Brother Tan, how can you do this!”
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ling Er also looked at Tan Yun with unfriendly eyes, “You…”
“Uncle, Third Brother, Second Sister, don’t blame him. It’s my decision to annul the engagement.” Xuan Yuan Rou took a deep breath.
“Why?” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong’s expression changed, “Tell Uncle why? Are you not burning bridges behind you?”
“If Rou'er didn’t regard you as her fiancé, would Yun'er be willing to protect your people so desperately?”
“Now, the Abandoned City is peaceful. What? Do you think you don’t need Yun'er anymore, so you break off the engagement? This… is too much!”
Clearly, the usually stern Xuan Yuan Hao Kong was someone who prioritized justice over familial ties.
“Yeah, sister!” Xuan Yuan Ling Er echoed, “Even though Tan Yun has many wives, but…”
“Don’t say anymore. My mind is made up.” Xuan Yuan Rou said, “Uncle, Second Sister, Third Brother, I don’t want to say more. I hope you respect my decision.”
“Sister!” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng shouted, “Have you forgotten? Back when Xuan Yuan Immortal City was under siege, Tan Yun sneaked into the Abandoned City. You were so worried about him.”
“You cried and wanted to find him. I stopped you, but after the enemy retreated from outside Xuan Yuan Immortal City, you still went. I heard that if it weren’t for Tan Yun saving you that time, you would have died!”
