- Dare to Cancel the Engagement? I Will Marry Your Ancestor!
- CHAPTER 9 - You All Come Together
“You All Come Together.”
Priceless treasures from the Tianyun Sect were laid out in front of the Long family’s gate, leaving the invited guests in awe.
If this weren’t Tianguang City, some might have been tempted to steal. The second elder, having finished announcing the bridal gifts, was ready for the Long family’s compliments. But no one from the Long family showed up, making the second elder’s expression darken.
“Master, what does the Long family mean by this? On such a joyous day, they haven’t come out to greet us. Are they disrespecting Tianyun Sect?” he said, displeased.
Mo Ling didn’t care about the Long family’s actions; he only wanted to take Long Qianqian with him today. He shouted at the gate where only a few confused guards stood, “The wedding is set, Long Qianqian, are you backing out?”
An elderly voice replied from inside, “Master Mo, you’re mistaken. Since the wedding date is set, the Long family wouldn’t do something as disgraceful as backing out.”
As the voice approached, an old man in a black robe and ten others hurried out but stood only at the entrance, not inviting Mo Ling inside. It was clear to everyone present that the Long family wasn’t showing respect to Tianyun Sect.
This upset Tianyun Sect’s members, including the traitor Hu Xin. Despite internal conflicts, such disrespect in front of outsiders was embarrassing. Hu Xin immediately stood up and said, “Third Elder Long, the auspicious time is near. Why are you blocking the entrance?”
Surprised to see Hu Xin speak up, Mo Ling thought, “Even this traitor has a human side.” The third elder of the Long family, with a calm expression, smiled and said, “Elder Hu, we won’t go back on our word, but our family has a rule. For a daughter to marry, there must be a Dragon Breath Stone among the bridal gifts. I heard many gifts listed, but there is no Dragon Breath Stone. Without it, the wedding can’t proceed.”
“You…”
Gu Kewai, known for his temper, jumped up upon hearing this, ready to argue with the Long family. Mo Ling quickly stopped him.
Confused, Gu Kewai looked at Mo Ling, who shook his head, signaling him to stand down. Although unwilling, he stepped aside.
Hu Xin watched quietly and waited to see how their leader would handle the situation.
Mo Ling smiled lightly and stepped forward. “I trust the Long family isn’t deliberately making things difficult. But I must ask, if I produce the Dragon Breath Stone, can I then take Long Qianqian with me?”
It was evident to everyone that the Long family was causing trouble. While the Long family’s ancestral rules were known to some, they hadn’t been mentioned until now, at this crucial moment.
The third elder of the Long family felt uneasy, remembering the reports of Mo Ling’s unexpected victory over Long Qianqian. Though initially skeptical, he now worried that if Mo Ling indeed produced the Dragon Breath Stone, their plans would be useless.
The third elder replied, “It’s not that simple. To marry our ancestor’s descendant, one must be powerful. Mo Ling must pass our elders’ assessment.”
Mo Ling, still calm, asked, “How will you assess me?”
After pondering, the third elder suggested, “How about this: Mo Ling competes against our elders in ten matches. If he wins eight, the marriage will proceed.”
“You’re being unreasonable!” Gu Kewai couldn’t hold back and shouted angrily, “Three days ago, your ancestor promised this marriage. Now, you demand the Dragon Breath Stone and a competition. If you don’t want this marriage, just say so. Tianyun Sect will not be fooled!”
Gu Kewai’s words inflamed the emotions of the Tianyun Sect members, demanding an explanation from the Long family.
Meanwhile, Long Qianqian, dressed in bridal attire, sat in her room, aware that the auspicious time was nearing. She called for a maid, “Go and see what’s happening outside.”
Worried about the elders’ behavior, the maid left to investigate.
Outside, the Tianyun Sect and Long family faced off; the atmosphere is tense. The third elder sensed something and sneered, “What’s wrong? Is Mo Ling afraid?”
Before he could finish, a powerful force hit his previous position, creating a deep pit. Had he not dodged, he would’ve been seriously injured or killed.
At that moment, he became a little angry and glared at Mo Ling with a deadly glare.

Hearing the mechanical voice, Mo Ling smiled faintly and withdrew his hand that was still in mid-air.
“Master Mo, as the head of a sect, how could you resort to such underhanded tactics?” the third elder of the Long family said angrily.
Mo Ling remained indifferent and replied, “If the Long family can openly make things difficult, why can’t I use underhanded tactics?”
Mo Ling’s point was clear: everyone knows the tricks, so there’s no need to act innocent.
“Hmph!” the third elder snorted, then asked, “So, Master Mo agrees to our conditions?”
Mo Ling nodded silently.
“Good! In that case, who would Master Mo like to fight first?”
“No need for that trouble. You can choose ten people, and I’ll take them all on at once!”
