“李浮尘，再练十年你也不是我对手。”
“Li Fuchen, you will not be my opponent after another ten years of practice.”
砰！
Bang!
练武场上，面容清秀的李浮尘跌飞出去，打飞他的是一个青衣少年。
On the martial arts field, Li Fuchen, with a handsome face, fell and flew out, and the one who knocked him away was a young man in Tsing Yi.
“嘿嘿，果然不出我所料，三招就败了。”
“Hey, as expected, three moves were defeated.”
“这已经是一年来，李浮尘第七次败在李云河手上了吧！”
“This is the seventh time in a year that Li Fuchen has been defeated by Li Yunhe!”
“可不是，昔日李浮尘也算是天才，一直压制着李云河，想不到仅仅一年时间，天才就变成废柴了，实力原地踏步不说，人也变得愚蠢了，明知道不是李云河对手，还偏要接受对方的挑战。”
“No, Li Fuchen was considered a genius in the past, and he kept suppressing Li Yunhe. He didn’t expect that in just one year, a genius would become useless, and people would become stupid even if he didn’t say his strength. Li Yunhe’s opponent, he still has to accept the opponent’s challenge.”
“这你可就错怪李浮尘了，他从来都是骄傲的人，从不避战。”
“You can blame Li Fuchen wrongly. He has always been a proud person and never avoided fighting.”
“哎，要怪就怪李浮尘有一个叫关雪的未婚妻，谁不知李云河也喜欢关雪，他们三人从小一起长大，偏偏关雪早已被许配给了李浮尘，这多少让李云河不爽。”
“Hey, if you want to blame Li Fuchen for having a fiancée named Guan Xue, who knows that Li Yunhe also likes Guan Xue. The three of them grew up together, but Guan Xue has already been betrothed to Li Fuchen. Li Yunhe is not happy.”
周围传来的幸灾乐祸笑声落在李浮尘耳中是那么的刺耳，以至于他的呼吸也微微急促起来。
The schadenfreude laughter from the surroundings fell so harshly in Li Fuchen’s ears that his breathing became slightly rapid.
一年，一切都发生在一年前。
A year, everything happened a year ago.
一年前他在李家绝对算得上天才，李云河从来都不被他当成对手。
A year ago, he was definitely a genius in the Li family, and Li Yunhe was never regarded as an opponent by him.
但是有一天，他的天赋忽然失去了，确切的说，是天赋不能再用，每当他聚精会神时，头就会疼痛欲裂，那种疼痛，让他根本无法安心修炼，一次交手，李云河察觉到李浮尘实力没有丝毫进步，所以就变着法子邀战李浮尘。
But one day, his talent suddenly lost. To be precise, his talent can no longer be used. Whenever he concentrates, his head hurts. The pain makes him unable to practice with peace of mind. , Li Yunhe noticed that Li Fuchen’s strength had not improved at all, so he changed his method to invite Li Fuchen.
拳头紧握，李浮尘仰头望天，内心充满不屈。
Fist clenched, Li Fuchen looked up at the sky, and his heart was full of unyielding.
“贼老天，我李浮尘怎么得罪你了，为什么要收走我的天赋，你知不知道，在这个强者为尊的世界，没有天赋会是怎样的后果。”
“Thief God, why did I Li Fuchen offend you? Why did you take away my talent? Do you know what the consequences of not having talent will be in this world where the strong are respected?”
李浮尘心中怒吼着。
Li Fuchen roared in his heart.
可惜，老天是听不到他内心的声音。
Unfortunately, God couldn’t hear his inner voice.
冷笑的看着李浮尘，李云河心中十分畅快，对于李浮尘，他一向都很嫉妒，嫉妒对方的爹是李家族长，不管是资源还是待遇，都比他好，若是他的爹也是族长，他的成就肯定超过李浮尘。
Looking at Li Fuchen with a sneer, Li Yunhe was very happy in his heart. He has always been jealous of Li Fuchen. He is jealous that the other party’s father is the head of the Li family. Whether it is resources or treatment, he is better than him. If his father is also Patriarch, his achievements must surpass Li Fuchen.
现在对方变成了废柴，族长都没法偏帮，要知道李家可不是族长一个人说的算，族长后面还有一个长老会，一旦长老会做出决定，族长都无法更改，当然，大多数时候都是族长说的算，长老会一般不会参与家族事务。
Now that the other party has become a waste, the patriarch can’t help. You must know that the Li family is not the only one who says the patriarch. There is an elder council behind the patriarch. Once the elder council makes a decision, the patriarch cannot change it. , Of course, most of the time, it is what the patriarch says, and the elders generally do not participate in family affairs.
“李浮尘，我劝你主动放弃关雪，你一个废柴根本配不上她。”
“Li Fuchen, I advise you to take the initiative to give up Guan Xue, you are not worthy of her at all.”
丢下一句嘲讽的话，李云河转身离开练武场。
Leaving a sarcastic remark, Li Yunhe turned and left the martial arts field.
观战之人一个个都走了，只留下李浮尘一个人站在那里。
The people watching the battle all left, leaving only Li Fuchen standing there alone.
远处的亭楼上，一名白衣中年把这一切看在眼里。
Upstairs in the pavilion in the distance, a middle-aged man in white sees all this.
“浮尘，爹虽然身为族长，但这种事情，爹也不能帮你，只能靠你自己了。”
“Fuchen, although father is the patriarch, father can’t help you with this kind of thing, you can only rely on yourself.”
看着李浮尘受人欺负，他这个做父亲的，比谁都难受，可是他很清楚，一旦他替李浮尘出头，李浮尘将遭受更多的屈辱和愤恨，在这个强者为尊、等级森严的世界，一切都要靠自身实力说话，外力或许能让他表面上风光，可是暗地里，谁知道会有多少人不屑嫉恨。
Looking at Li Fuchen being bullied, he is more uncomfortable as a father than anyone else, but he knows very well that once he stands for Li Fuchen, Li Fuchen will suffer more humiliation and resentment. In a world where respect and hierarchy are strict, everything depends on his own strength. External forces may make him look good on the surface, but secretly, who knows how many people will disdain and hate him.
夜深如水，李浮尘盘坐在蒲团上，努力修炼着红玉功。
The night was like water, Li Fuchen sat on the futon, and worked hard to practice the Hongyu Gong.
红玉功，李家唯一的黄级高阶功法，共分七层境界，一年前，李浮尘已然修炼到第三层，可惜这一年来，寸步未进，而李云河正是趁着这一年时间，把红玉功修炼到了第四层，这才能碾压他。
Hongyu Gong, the only yellow-level high-level practice in the Li family, is divided into seven levels. A year ago, Li Fuchen had already cultivated to the third level, but unfortunately, he has not made any progress this year, and Li Yunhe is taking advantage of it. In this year, he has cultivated Hongyu Gong to the fourth level, and only then can he crush him.
“啊！”
“Ah!”
尽管已经经历了无数次，脑袋的疼痛依旧让李浮尘忍不住惨叫起来。
Although it has been experienced countless times, the pain in the head still makes Li Fuchen scream.
这种疼痛，比肉体疼痛厉害一百倍，那是源自灵魂深处的疼痛。
This kind of pain is a hundred times worse than physical pain, it is pain from the depths of the soul.
身上汗水淋漓，李浮尘不甘的睁开眼睛，嘴唇因为牙齿紧咬的缘故，鲜血流淌下来，触目惊心。
The body was dripping with sweat, and Li Fuchen opened his eyes unwillingly, and because of the clenched teeth, blood flowed down his lips, which was shocking.
“还是这样吗？”
“Is that still the case?”
李浮尘至今都无法理解，自己身上到底发生了什么，外在的屈辱对他而言是一个打击，但是这种一无所知对他而言更是一个打击，就好像有一条蚀骨毒蛇，一点点侵蚀着他的骨髓，等到他察觉时，骨髓早已被吸尽。
Li Fuchen still can’t understand what happened to him. The external humiliation is a blow to him, but this ignorance is even more of a blow to him, as if there is an eclipse The bone poisonous snake eroded his bone marrow little by little, and by the time he realized it, the bone marrow had already been sucked up.
夜色散尽，天亮了。
The night is over, and it is dawn.
一大早，李家来了一位客人，是关家族长关岳。
Early in the morning, a guest came to the Li family, Guan Yue, the head of the Guan family.
议事大厅，一身白衣的李天寒热情的迎了上去。
In the conference hall, Li Tianhan, dressed in white, warmly greeted him.
“关岳，什么风把你给吹过来了。”
“Guan Yue, what wind brought you here.”
关岳身高近八尺，虎背熊腰，他有些尴尬的笑了笑，道：“今日闲着无事，过来看看，对了，最近浮尘怎么样了？”
Guan Yue is nearly eight feet tall and bears a strong waist. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, “I have nothing to do today, come and see, by the way, how is Fuchen doing recently?”
“他，还是那个样子，这件事情对他打击很大，希望他能挺过来。”
“He is still like that. This incident has hit him hard. I hope he can survive.”
李天寒神情有些黯然。
Li Tianhan looked a little sad.
“不急，或许只是一时的，我相信他能挺过来。”顿了顿，关岳从怀里摸出一支玉瓶，“这里面是一颗养神丹，或许对他有些用处。”
“No hurry, maybe it’s just for a while, I believe he can survive.” After a while, Guan Yue took out a jade bottle from his arms, “This is a nourishing pill, which may be useful to him. .”
“养神丹？”
“Yang Shen Dan?”
李天寒没有去接，一脸疑惑。
Li Tianhan didn’t pick him up, looking puzzled.
养神丹可不是一般的丹药，而是黄级高阶丹药，一颗价值数千金币，对方女儿虽然和浮尘有婚约在身，但毕竟还没过门，送这么珍贵的丹药，让李天寒有些摸不着头脑。
The Yangshen Pill is not an ordinary pill, but a yellow-level high-level pill. One pill is worth thousands of gold coins. Although the other party’s daughter has a marriage contract with Fuchen, she has not yet come to the door, so she sent such a precious pill. , so that Li Tianhan was a little confused.
关岳不高兴道：“只是一颗丹药而已，怎么，看不上眼？”
Guan Yue said unhappily: “It’s just an elixir, why don’t you look down on it?”
“不是丹药的事情，关岳，你是不是有什么话要说？”
“It’s not about the pills, Guan Yue, do you have anything to say?”
多年的老朋友，李天寒知道，对方应该藏着事情。
An old friend of many years, Li Tianhan knows that the other party should hide things.
把玉瓶放在旁边的桌子上，关岳难以启齿道：“天寒，我过来，的确有事情和你商量。”
Putting the jade bottle on the table next to it, Guan Yue said with difficulty: “Tianhan, I’m here, I have something to discuss with you.”
“说吧！我听着呢！”
“Speak! I’m listening!”
李天寒心里有不好的预感。
Li Tianhan has a bad feeling in his heart.
清了清嗓子，关岳道：“就在一个星期前，小女关雪的修为突破到练气境七重境界了。”
Clearing his throat, Guan Yue said, “Just a week ago, the little girl Guan Xue’s cultivation level broke through to the seventh level of Qi training.”
“练气境七重？”
“Seventh level of Qi practice?”
李天寒倒吸一口冷气，关雪和李浮尘同岁，今年十四岁，十四岁练气境七重境界，如果不是知道关岳为人，李天寒肯定以为对方开玩笑，要知道李家第一天才，今年十五岁的李云海现在也就练气境六重境界，而李浮尘和李云河更是只有练气境四重境界，相差足足三重。
Li Tianhan gasped, Guan Xue and Li Fuchen were the same age, fourteen years old this year, and at the age of fourteen, he practiced the seventh realm of Qi. Genius, Li Yunhai, who is fifteen years old this year, is currently practicing the sixth realm of Qi, while Li Fuchen and Li Yunhe are only in the fourth realm, which is a difference of three.
“我记得她半年前不是刚突破到练气境六重吗？”
“I remember that she just broke through to the sixth level of Qi practice half a year ago?”
李天寒问道。
Li Tianhan asked.
关岳苦笑道：“小女天资聪颖，竟然把我关家的水月诀修炼到了第六层境界，你也知道，一定程度上，功法比修为等级更难突破，我关家能把水月诀修炼到第六层境界的，无一例外，全都是归元境武者，没有一个练气境武者。”
Guan Yue said with a wry smile: “The little girl is talented and intelligent, and she actually cultivated my Guan family’s water moon art to the sixth level. You know, to a certain extent, the practice is more difficult to break through than the cultivation level. Those who can cultivate the Shuiyue Art to the sixth-level realm, without exception, are all warriors in the Yuanyuan realm, and there is not a single Qi realm warrior.”
“真是妖孽啊！”
“What a monster!”
李天寒内心感慨。
Li Tianhan sighed with emotion.
“天寒兄，小女已经被沧澜宗收为弟子，所以，这婚约恐怕无法履行了。”关岳也不藏着掖着了，开门见山道。
“Brother Tianhan, the little girl has been accepted as a disciple by the Canglan Sect, so I’m afraid this marriage contract cannot be fulfilled.” Guan Yue didn’t hide it anymore, and got straight to the point.
李天寒眉毛一挑，“他们年纪还小，现在谈婚约太早了一点，可以几年后再说。”
Li Tianhan raised his eyebrows, “They are still young, so it’s too early to talk about a marriage contract, we can talk about it a few years later.”
关岳认真道：“这也是小女的意思，希望天寒兄成全。”
Guan Yue said seriously: “This is also the meaning of the little girl. I hope Brother Tianhan will be successful.”
李天寒脸色变得难看起来，眼睛紧盯着关岳，“怎么，你关家是想悔婚？当初主动提出订下婚约的可是你关家，如今却是你关家第一个悔婚，你们把我李家当成什么了，把我李天寒当成什么了，是不是觉得我李家没落了，不值得你关家来联姻。”
Li Tianhan’s face became ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Guan Yue, “Why, do you want to regret the marriage? It was your Guan family who offered to make an engagement at the beginning, but now you are the first Guan family to regret it. What do you think of my Li family, what do you think of me Li Tianhan, do you think that my Li family is in decline, and it is not worth you to close the family to marry?”
“天寒兄，我关家会做出补偿的，这一颗养神丹你先收着，过几天，我关家会把云雾城最好的关家酒楼让给你李家。”
“Brother Tianhan, my Guan family will make compensation. You should keep this nourishing pill first. In a few days, my Guan family will give you the best Guan family restaurant in Yunwu City to your Li family. “
既然话已经说开了，关岳反而放松了一些。
Now that the words have been spoken, Guan Yue is more relaxed.
是的，对方说的没错，联姻也要有价值，李家已经连续十年没有人进入沧澜宗，而关家蒸蒸日上，几乎每隔两年就有一两位关家子弟成为沧澜宗弟子。
Yes, the other party is right, marriage also has value. No one from the Li family has entered the Canglan Sect for ten consecutive years, while the Guan family is prosperous. Almost every two years, one or two children of the Guan family become Canglan. Lan Zong disciple.
今年关雪更是提前成为了沧澜宗弟子，要知道能被提前招收为弟子的，哪一个没有远大的前途。
This year, Guan Xue became a disciple of the Canglan Sect ahead of schedule. You must know that who can be recruited as a disciple in advance has no bright future.
如果仅是如此，关家也不会这么着急的提出解除婚约，毕竟瘦死的骆驼比马大，李家身为云雾城四大家族之一，实力还是很强大的，不比新兴家族关家弱。
If that’s the case, the Guan family wouldn’t be so anxious to propose to terminate the engagement. After all, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. As one of the four major families in Yunwu City, the Li family is still very powerful, no better than the emerging family Guan family. weak.
可惜李浮尘太不争气了，本来天赋还算不错，一年前不知道做了什么天怒人怨的事情，天赋居然消失了，一个废人，如何配得上天之骄女一般的关家第一天才，这是关家不能容忍的。
It’s a pity that Li Fuchen is too unsatisfactory. Originally, his talent was not bad. He didn’t know what he did a year ago, but his talent disappeared. Genius, this is intolerable to the Guan family.
何况关雪本身也对这门婚约不感兴趣，早已不止一次提出要解除婚约，被他一直压到现在，他自认为已经对得起李家了。
Besides, Guan Xue himself is not interested in this marriage contract. He has already proposed to cancel the marriage contract more than once. He has been pressed by him until now, and he thinks that he is worthy of the Li family.
“丹药和酒楼，我李家都不会要，我李家还丢不起这个人，关岳兄，这是我最后一次称呼你关岳兄，从今往后，你我再无交情。”
“My Li family won’t want pills and restaurants. My Li family can’t afford to lose this person. Brother Guan Yue, this is the last time I will call you Brother Guan Yue. From now on, you and I will No friendship.”
李天寒彻底心寒了，关家能崛起，当初少不了李家的帮忙，他如何也想不到，对方会过河拆桥。
Li Tianhan was completely heartbroken. The Guan family could rise up without the help of the Li family. He never imagined that the other party would cross the river and demolish the bridge.
“天寒兄，话已至此，我也没什么可说的，这次是我关家不对，先行告辞了。”
“Brother Tianhan, the words have come to this point, and I have nothing to say. This time it’s my fault to close the house, so I’ll leave first.”
深吸一口气，关岳起身离开。
Taking a deep breath, Guan Yue got up and left.
“丹药带上。”
“Bring the medicine pill.”
李天寒手一挥，无形劲气逼发，玉瓶飞向关岳。
Li Tianhan waved his hand, and his invisible energy forced his hair, and the jade bottle flew towards Guan Yue.
伸手接住玉瓶，关岳沉默离去。
He stretched out his hand to catch the jade bottle, and Guan Yue left silently.
咔擦！
Crack!
待关岳走出大厅，李天寒生生捏碎了座椅扶手，脸色铁青。
When Guan Yue walked out of the hall, Li Tianhan smashed the armrest of the seat, his face ashen.
几日后，关家派人送来了解除婚约的信函，与此同时，整个李家乃至整个云雾城都知道了这件事情。
A few days later, the Guan family sent a letter to announce the termination of the engagement. At the same time, the entire Li family and even the entire Yunwu City knew about it.
无形中，李家和李浮尘都成了众人的笑柄，茶余饭后，一个个莫不是把这件事情当成谈资，与这个话题相媲美的是关雪成为沧澜宗弟子的消息，大家心里都很清楚，关家要一飞冲天了，提前被沧澜宗收为弟子，这可是云雾城百年来从未有过的事情。
Invisibly, both the Li family and Li Fuchen became the laughing stock of everyone. After dinner, everyone took this matter as a topic of conversation. Comparing with this topic was the news that Guan Xue had become a disciple of the Canglan Sect. It is very clear that the Guan family is about to soar into the sky and is accepted as a disciple by the Canglan Sect ahead of time. This is something that has never happened in Yunwu City for a hundred years.
