After arriving in this world, William Lynn didn’t have time to pay attention to the first true Foundation Establishment stage cultivator he had seen.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the young girl beside the old man.

A warm, sunny smile appeared on William Lynn’s face as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

“Breaking off the engagement? If I didn’t mishear, the topic they were just discussing was the legendary breaking off of an engagement?”

Chapter 6: No Discussion When It Comes to Trapping You

The girl’s features were outstanding, exquisitely beautiful, and she exuded an extraordinary, cold and elegant aura.

Dangling from her delicate earlobes was a green jade pendant, which gave off a crisp, clear sound as it swayed, suddenly revealing a touch of preciousness...

William Lynn looked just like a simple, honest youth, dazzled by the girl’s beauty, feeling inferior, and lowering his head slightly.

In reality, he just didn’t want anyone to see that both his eyes were shining.

Breaking off the engagement, ah, breaking off the engagement—this is the legendary event that creates countless heaven-defying powerhouses!

Beside the girl stood a young man dressed in the same white robe, tall and handsome, with a flow of magical energy around him indicating he possessed the strength of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

The white-robed youth glanced at William Lynn and then looked away, his gaze falling on the shattered mountain rock that William Lynn had struck with the Arctic Sky Magnet Sword. He frowned: “We rushed over as quickly as possible, so logically, the other party shouldn’t have had time to leave.”

The girl shook her head. “If they’ve left, then so be it.”

The white-robed youth suddenly wrapped his voice in magical power and transmitted a message to the girl: “Junior sister Yanran, that legendary Edward Shaw was also a cultivation genius, but for some reason later fell from grace. Has he really become a good-for-nothing now?”

Evelyn Murray was a bit displeased, her brows knitting slightly: “There are outsiders present, let’s not talk about this.”

The white-robed youth smiled faintly: “Just a country bumpkin. I’m using magical sound transmission—how could he possibly hear?”

William Lynn stood motionless where he was, blinking. He hadn’t had time to change into his Daoist robe and was still wearing coarse clothes, looking just like a mountain villager.

Evelyn Murray shook her head at this: “Whether he’s a genius or a good-for-nothing, I’m going to break off this engagement. Even if it’s Grandpa, he can’t force me to marry someone I’ve never met.”

William Lynn’s expression became even more honest and simple, but inside he was overjoyed: “Girl, you’re awesome! That’s right—don’t be swayed by the outside world, resolutely break off the engagement. I’m rooting for you!”

Once a genius, now a loser, and now his fiancée is coming to break off the engagement and slap him in the face... Damn, this is absolutely the treatment of a true destiny protagonist in a fantasy novel.

William Lynn now wished he could immediately go find that Edward Shaw. He’d figured it out: the system’s requirements for disciples were ridiculously high—probably only those legendary true destiny protagonists, main character-level figures, would catch its eye.

Although he couldn’t confirm it yet, judging from Little Ben, William Lynn was eighty percent sure that Edward Shaw fit the system’s standard for a disciple.

“Wait, this kind of protagonist-level, heaven-defying little bull...”

William Lynn suddenly realized that with Evelyn Murray coming to break off the engagement, that currently down-on-his-luck Edward Shaw would probably explode with potential right after the engagement was broken.

He didn’t know whether Edward Shaw would have an old grandpa with him, or stumble upon a super artifact, or maybe find a super cultivation technique in some tattered book left by his parents...

In short, as soon as Evelyn Murray came to break off the engagement, Edward Shaw’s fighting spirit would be ignited, and then it would be time for the salted fish to turn over.

A golden-scaled fish is no ordinary thing; when it meets the wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon.

All it takes is a small opportunity for Edward Shaw to get on the right track. As the old saying goes, once the wheel of fate starts turning, this kid will become unstoppable.

William Lynn didn’t plan to change the ultimate result of Edward Shaw’s rise to greatness—he just wanted to change the process, to make himself the wind and clouds that help Edward Shaw transform from a golden-scaled fish into a dragon.

In other words, to become Edward Shaw’s old grandpa.

But right now, the matter with Little Ben still hadn’t been resolved, and William Lynn couldn’t get away.

If he let Evelyn Murray go break off the engagement now, and Edward Shaw ended up summoning some other old grandpa, wouldn’t he be out of the picture?

The engagement must be broken, but it absolutely can’t be now.

Thinking of this, William Lynn’s heart stirred, and a warm, sunny smile naturally appeared on his face.

The white-robed youth smiled and said, “If we can’t find the source of the magical fluctuation just now, then forget it. Let’s hurry to the Xiao family in Wuzhou City. There’s still some distance from here to Wuzhou.”

The white-robed old man, who hadn’t spoken until now, finally said, “Yanran, you have outstanding talent and limitless prospects. You are a core disciple of my Liuguang Sword Sect and can’t be delayed by mortals. But breaking off an engagement in person is, after all, a bit rude. Remember to give Edward Shaw some compensation.”

Evelyn Murray and the white-robed youth both nodded in agreement: “We will follow Elder Yates’s teachings.”

The white-robed old man Gavin Yates nodded in satisfaction and prepared to take the two juniors on their way, treating William Lynn as if he were air from beginning to end.

Under the effect of the system, even Foundation Establishment stage Gavin Yates couldn’t see that William Lynn possessed any Daoist cultivation.
