Ye Ling, who was amongst the crowd below the stage, had a darkened expression. He instinctively looked towards Ye Qingtang beside him with eyes full of worry.
Everyone was still waiting for Duan Tianrao to speak. Glancing at the crowd, he announced without further ado,
"Today, may everyone witness that the engagement between Ye Qingtang and me is canceled. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
The moment his words were said, gasps sounded throughout the public square.
"Duan Tianrao actually wants to cancel his engagement with Ye Qingtang? What is going on?"
"Isn't he embarrassing the Ye family in public?'
Everyone was shocked by the surprising news. The Duan and Ye family are both part of the three greatest family clans, and the engagement between both families had long been a relish to people. Yet, Duan Tianrao actually announced the annulment of his engagement with Ye Qingtang today.
Ye Ling's expression turned extremely ugly. However, he was aware that if he were to make trouble, Ye Qingtang would still be the one to suffer. Thus, he could only suppress his anger for now.
Duan Tianrao observed everyone's response without caring much and continued, "This is the first piece of news. The second piece is that Lady Ye Xun from the Ye family and I are in love with each other and will be spending the rest of our lives together."
As he spoke, he turned around to look at Ye Xun, who was standing beside Duan Tianrui below the worship stage. Following his gaze, everyone's eyes turned towards Ye Xun.
Ye Xun was donned in a beautiful-looking white top. A faint smile which moved people was etched on her exquisite small face.
"Xun, come up." Duan Tianrao looked at Ye Xun, who was even more beautiful with the elaborate makeup, and stretched his hands towards her.
With everyone's eyes on her, she walked up the worship stage with a shy smile and stood beside Duan Tianrao while holding his hands.
"Xun Er, you are now my fiancée and will be a member of the Duan family in the future. On the worship day today, how about you pray for blessings for the citizens as a member of the Duan family as well?" Duan Tianrao looked at Ye Xun with gentle and doting eyes.
Ye Xun nodded her head obediently. Her gentle and appealing appearance stunned many.
Everyone in Lin Town knew that the top beauty in the town was Ye You from the Ye family. No one expected Ye Xun to be this beautiful as well. Standing beside Duan Tianrao in a white top, the two of them looked like a golden couple, picture-perfect.
"Lady Ye Xun was born with good looks and is really compatible with Second Young Master Duan."
Everyone was stunned by the two announcements Duan Tianrao made. Just an instant ago, he broke off the engagement with Ye Qingtang, and in the next, he professed his love for the Ye family's adopted daughter, Ye Xun, with whom his engagement was publicly announced.
However…
Although everyone thought that Duan Tianrao's sudden annulment of his engagement with Ye Qingtang was unexpected, they felt that the golden couple on stage was even more compatible.
Even though Ye Xun was adopted by the Ye family, she was very pretty and treated everyone well. Such a lady was naturally the most suitable choice as a wife in the hearts of many men.
"Since it's what darling Duan wants, I'll give it a try," Ye Xun said humbly with a face full of smiles which infatuated many onlooking men.
Duan Tianrao nodded slightly and silently took a step back.
Ye Xun quietly directed her energy and took a sharp look at the Heaven-Spinning wheel in front of her. At that point, she was no longer the adopted daughter of the Ye family but Duan Tianrao's fiancée and the future mistress of the Duan family.
When she thought up to that point, Ye Xun immediately spun the Heaven-Spinning Wheel.
Ye Xun's force did not seem to be much, but the direction of her energy did turn the wheel.
In an instant, the Heaven-Spinning Wheel spun a whole round. When the dragon groan sounded, Ye Xun could not help but smile.
Seeing the scene, a look of satisfaction flashed across Duan Tianrao's eyes.
"I never expected Ye Xun to actually improve so much. I remember that when she spun the Heaven-Spinning Wheel last year, she only managed to spin half a round. Who would have thought… she actually was able to spin the wheel for one whole round this year."
"No wonder Duan Tianrao would like Ye Xun this much. With her natural talent and beautiful appearance, if Duan Tianrao becomes the family master of the Duan family, Ye Xun will also have the qualifications to be the mistress of the Duan family."
Everyone was optimistic about Ye Xun and increasingly thought that Duan Tianrao's annulment of his previous engagement to marry another woman was reasonable.
However…
"But… now that Ye Xun has gone onto the stage as a member of the Duan family, what will happen to the Ye family?"
Uncertainty aroused in everyone's minds.
In the previous years, the Ye family had always sent either Ye You or Ye Xun up to the worship stage. However, now that Ye You left for Yunxiao Sect and Ye Xun went up the stage as a member of the Duan family, was not the Ye family only left with Ye Qingtang?
If it was in the past, it was without a doubt that Ye Qingtang would go up the stage. However… now that Ye Qingtang's spirit root was broken, how would she be able to turn the Heaven-Spinning Wheel?
At that thought, everyone's gaze could not help but be directed towards where the Ye family was.
Under everyone's watch, Ye Ling's face darkened to a shocking shade. Although he knew that Duan Tianrao would cancel the engagement publicly, he never expected that Duan Tianrao actually got together with Ye Xun and would publicly announce his engagement with Ye Xun.
At this instant, Ye Ling had no time to attend to the onlookers' gaze and hurriedly looked at Ye Qingtang beside him with mixed feelings.
He originally planned to send Ye Xun up the worship stage, yet he never expected such a turn of events.
"Tang Tang…" Ye Ling's eyes were full of worry. Only the younger generation of the three greatest family clans could go up the stage. Even if he wanted to go on stage, the rules did not allow him to do so.
Now, there was only Ye Qingtang…
From the start, Ye Qingtang had been standing beside Ye Ling silently. Even when Duan Tianrao announced his engagement with Ye Xun, she had no reaction at all.
Ye Qingtang saw Ye Ling's worry-filled eyes, and she could not help but look down.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ling said, "Tang Tang, you'll represent the Ye family and go up the stage."
If not for the fact that there was no one else, Ye Ling would definitely not let his daughter go up the stage in front of everyone.
He was not concerned whether Ye Qingtang could turn the Heaven-Spinning Wheel. All he wanted was to end the worship ceremony as soon as possible. Sending Ye Qingtang up was merely an act of formality.
Ye Qingtang nodded her head obediently as a sly expression flashed across her slightly droopy eyes. Lifting her eyelids, she glanced across at Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun, who were standing side by side on stage, as her lips covered under the veil curled into a slight smile.
The next second, Ye Qingtang slowly took a step forward and walked towards the worship stage.
This attracted the attention of many onlookers.
Everyone had mixed expressions. Before Ye Qingtang's spirit root broke, she had never gone up the worship stage. Even on normal days, Young Lady Ye rarely left the Ye residence.
Today was the first time Ye Qingtang appeared before everyone.
