Chapter 191: Failed to Cancel the Engagement

However, Huang Tian remained unmoved. "Lin Feng, I understand your feelings, but the Nine Emperors Pavilion has its own rules and considerations. This marriage has been decided and cannot be changed."

Lin Feng lowered his head in despair, knowing his efforts were in vain. But he was unwilling to give up. A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes. "Pavilion Master, is there no other way?"

Huang Tian sighed. "Lin Feng, I'm sorry, but we can't cancel the engagement at will. This is for the overall benefit of the Nine Emperors Pavilion. You should go back and stop obsessing over this matter."

Lin Feng stood there, speechless for a long time. He knew he couldn't change the Nine Emperors' decision, but his conviction remained unwavering. He vowed to himself that he would find a way to secure Chen Xiner's freedom.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Huang Tian, ​​his eyes filled with despair. He knew that his efforts had been in vain. But he was unwilling to give up. He couldn't just give up like this.

"Master, is there no room for negotiation?" Lin Feng asked again, his voice full of anticipation.

However, Huang Tian and the other elders remained unmoved. Determination was written all over their faces, and it was clear they had made up their minds.

Lin Feng knew that this matter was unlikely to be resolved. His heart was filled with anger and helplessness. He stood up, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

"Since you are unwilling to dissolve the marriage, I can only solve it in my own way." Lin Feng said, with a hint of anger in his voice.

Seeing Lin Feng's attitude, the elders stopped being polite. The seven elders released their coercive power together, and the powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire palace.

Lin Feng immediately knelt down again, and knelt down heavily. His knees hit the floor with a loud bang, and even the floor cracked.

Lin Feng raised his head with difficulty and looked at the two elders in the innermost circle. He uttered two words with difficulty: "Half Saint."

Huang Tian was no longer polite and said angrily: "Give up, Lin Feng! Don't think we are afraid of you. If it weren't for the support of the empire behind you, you would have died long ago."

Although Lin Feng was very unconvinced, he could only stare at Huang Tian fiercely. His heart was filled with anger and unwillingness, but he also knew that he was still too weak in front of the Nine Emperor Pavilion.

"Come on, who's afraid of who?" Lin Feng said stubbornly.

Huang Tian sighed and said, "Alas! You are still too young and still act on impulse."

Although Lin Feng was very unconvinced, he could only stare at Huang Tian fiercely. He knew that he could do nothing now and could only wait for an opportunity.

Huang Tian continued, "Lin Feng, the marriage between the Chen family and my son has already been decided. Now you come here to dissolve the marriage. Have you ever considered that this matter has nothing to do with you at all? You insist on getting involved, which is simply humiliating yourself."

After hearing what Huang Tian said, Lin Feng felt something was wrong. He knew his actions might be impulsive, but he wanted to end the marriage because he loved Chen Xiner, and that was enough. Even if he was extra, even if it had already been decided, he still wanted to change everything for the person he loved.

Lin Feng didn't care about the face of Jiuhuang Pavilion at all, or it could be said that Lin Feng was still too young and not thorough enough in doing things.

Huang Tian looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, you should go back and think about it carefully."

Lin Feng was still very unconvinced, but he also knew that he could no longer be impulsive. He had to calm down and find a better solution.

Afterwards, Huang Tian said to the elders, "See you out." Then he turned and left.

The two semi-saint elders immediately released even more powerful pressure. Lin Feng vomited blood and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Several disciples hurried forward and carried Lin Feng out.

Outside the tall, imposing gates of the Nine Emperors Pavilion, Lin Feng slowly awoke. He felt a wave of dizziness and a dull pain throughout his body. When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on the cold ground, the gates of the Nine Emperors Pavilion tightly shut. A feeling of helplessness and loss instantly washed over him.

Lin Feng struggled to sit up, his eyes gazing at the closed door with a bewildered expression. It felt like an insurmountable barrier, separating him from the hope in his heart. He lowered his head slightly, his long hair draping messily on either side of his face, obscuring his complex expression.

After a moment, Lin Feng slowly stood up, his body still shaky, but he managed to steady himself. He once again gazed towards the gate of the Nine Emperors Pavilion, his heart filled with emotion. He knew he had been too impulsive this time. Asking the Nine Emperors Pavilion to cancel the engagement outright was indeed an excessive request for a reputation-conscious Nine Emperors Pavilion. He couldn't help but think that no matter what he did for the Nine Emperors Pavilion in the future, it would likely be insignificant in the face of its reputation.

Lin Feng sighed softly, then slowly began to walk down the mountain. His steps were heavy and slow, each one akin to a moment of endless deliberation. As he walked, he pondered his next move. After much deliberation, he suddenly thought of a possible avenue: the Emperor. If he could ask the Emperor for permission, then the Nine Emperors Pavilion wouldn't be able to directly dissolve Chen Xin'er's marriage to the Young Pavilion Master. But as soon as this idea came to mind, he ran into another dilemma: how could he convince the Emperor to allow Chen Xin'er to marry him?

Thinking of this, a new question emerged in Lin Feng's mind: Does Xin'er like me? Although he has always had a crush on Chen Xin'er in his heart, and he can also feel that Chen Xin'er has special feelings for him, the two have never clearly expressed their feelings. This made Lin Feng realize that he needed to test Chen Xin'er's feelings.

As Lin Feng walked, he fell into deep thought. The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, replaced by the gradually falling night. His figure seemed somewhat lonely and desolate on the dim mountain road. The chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the surrounding forest seemed to express his inner turmoil and helplessness.

As time passed, the day flew by. News spread like wildfire, spreading everywhere. People were discussing what had happened to Lin Feng after he entered the Nine Emperors Pavilion. They said he was injured, carried out by the Nine Emperors Pavilion staff, and then left at the door. This news spread quickly, and soon reached the Chen family.

In the Chen family courtyard, Chen Xin'er paced anxiously. She wore a pale blue dress, the hem of which fluttered gently as she walked. Her eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness, and her face was pale. Upon hearing the news that Lin Feng had been injured and abandoned at the gate of the Nine Emperors Pavilion, her heart felt like it had been struck by a sledgehammer, aching uncontrollably.
