Chen Hongyi said: "Father, the engagement between Chen Yang and Hou Xiang has been terminated?"
"Resolved? Do the Hou family look down on Yang'er?"
Chen Ao looked angry. If this was really the case, no matter how powerful the Hou family was, he would still have to help Chen Yang seek justice.
Chen Hongyi said: "It's not the Hou family's fault, it's Chen Yang who broke the engagement himself, saying that Hou Xiang was not worthy of him."
"ah?!"
Chen Ao had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect this answer.
If Chen Yang was not his grandson, from the perspective of others, he should think that Chen Yang was not worthy of Hou Xiang.
However, Chen Yang actually said that Hou Xiang was not worthy of him. What was going on?
He asked: "Hongyi, what is going on?"
Chen Hongyi said: "I don't know why he did this."
Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said: "How can the Hou family terminate the engagement just by saying it is terminated? There must be some mystery in this matter. I have to investigate it carefully."
"Father..."
Chen Hongyi opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Chen Ao said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Chen Hongyi said: "To be honest with my father, Hou Xiang is already engaged to my son."
"What!?"
Chen Ao looked shocked, and then said angrily: "Are you targeting Yang'er and deliberately making things difficult for him?!"
Chen Hongyi said: "Father, please calm down. The engagement was made between the Hou family and I when Chen Yang was missing. No one expected that Chen Yang would come back."
This explanation makes sense.
Chen Ao looked at Chen Yang in the distance, thoughtfully.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Hongyi said: "Father, if you mind, I can cancel the engagement."
"Need not."
Chen Ao shook his head and sighed: "Hou Xiang is only nineteen years old, but he is already a second-level extraordinary person. Yang'er's talent and strength are far inferior to hers. It is always not a good thing if a woman is strong and a man is weak. Even if they are together, it will be difficult to integrate.
There must be many contradictions.”
"Forget it, if Yang'er can break the engagement on his own, this marriage is over. If there is a suitable girl in the future, I will find a more suitable wife for him."
Chen Ao's implication was obviously that he was afraid that Chen Yang was not worthy of Hou Xiang.
In addition, although he loved Chen Yang, the grandson he valued most was the outstanding eldest son of the third prince after all.
Now that Hou Xiang has an engagement with him, he naturally doesn't want to let the emperor's grandson feel cold because of Chen Yang.
At this time, there was another commotion in the whole place.
Because there was another contestant who reached the value "six" in the strength test. He was a man of the third level of extraordinary.
The attention of Chen Ao and others returned to the middle of the school field.
"Bai'er has a good talent and has the demeanor of his elder brother."
Chen Ao nodded, with a look of appreciation on his face.
At this time, in the middle of the school grounds, the young man wearing a brocade robe was none other than the third prince's youngest son, Chen Bai.
When Chen Yang first entered the capital that day, he was the one who rode the Explosive Flame Bear and went on a rampage.
"It's a pity that we couldn't reach 'seven'."
Chen Bai shook his head, not very satisfied with his results.
Although he is a playboy, he has a genius brother who puts him under a lot of pressure, even if he doesn't work hard to practice.
Moreover, Chen Hongyi was very strict and almost forced him to practice every day. With the addition of abundant spiritual stones and elixirs, he reached his current state and strength.
Next, it was Chen Yang's turn.
Seeing Chen Yang walking out of the crowd, Chen Bai looked over with disdain and sneered: "Seventh brother, come on, try to reach 'three', otherwise, you will be eliminated directly."
Among the many grandsons of the Daxia royal family, Chen Yang happened to be the seventh, ranked according to age, and was called the seventh son.
Chen Bai is the fourth prince and is twenty-six years old.
"Who are you?"
Chen Yang glanced at Chen Bai and asked.
Chen Baidao: "Why, I don't even know your fourth brother?"
"I don't know."
Chen Yang shook his head, ignored it, and walked straight towards the center of the school field.
Seeing this, Chen Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and looked angry.
"Look, that's the son of King Yang who just returned."
"I reached the peak of pill formation at the age of twenty-three. My talent is pretty good, but compared with other geniuses, it is far behind."
"I wonder if he can pass the first round. If the strength index does not reach three, it would be embarrassing."
"He is too reckless. He is only twenty-three years old. He will have many opportunities to participate in the Great Xia Military Expedition in the future. Why bother to embarrass himself now?"
"That's right. Now that he has the resources of the royal family, his strength will definitely be greatly improved. By the next military expedition, he will be able to achieve good results."
Facing the crowd's comments, Chen Yang was very calm and didn't take it seriously at all.
At this time, he passed by Hou Xiang.
Hou Xiang's face was full of pride, and he glanced sideways at Chen Yang, full of contempt and disdain.
She shook her head and said, "Chen Yang, Daxia Wu Zheng, you shouldn't have come. In front of so many people, you will only be more embarrassed."
Chen Yang glanced at Hou Xiang and said with a smile: "Hou Xiang, you do have some abilities, but the world is so big that you don't want to sit in a well and look at the sky. Otherwise, you will only be trapped in a deep well forever."
"Humph! Still showing off!"
Hou Xiang snorted coldly and said: "Among all the contestants, except for the fourth prince, I am the only one whose strength index has reached 'six'. Do you know what this means? It means that among the same level, I
It’s already at a super top level.”
"A person like you, who has mediocre talent and only reached the middle stage of elixir formation at the age of twenty-three, will never know what kind of experience this is."
"To be honest, considering your father's affection for my Hou family back then, I advise you to withdraw from the Great Xia Military Conquest."
"Being a leisurely and wealthy Crown Prince may not be a better choice for you."
The words sounded nice, but she was obviously trying to cash in and mock Chen Yang.
As for Chen Yang, who had already reached the peak of pill formation, Hou Xiang, who was proud of his temper at the moment, didn't notice it at all.
In her eyes, Chen Yang is just a fool who wants to eat swan meat.
Looking at Hou Xiang's face, Chen Yang burst into laughter.
"Hou Xiang, do you think you are very powerful if you reach a strength index of 'six'?"
Chen Yang asked back, shook his head and said: "There is a saying that goes well, a sparrow knows the ambition of a swan. You are a sparrow, and I am a swan, hahaha..."
With wild laughter, Chen Yang walked into the school grounds.
"you……"
Hou Xiang wanted to argue, but she could only see Chen Yang's back, and she stamped her feet in anger.
The contestants next to her came over and surrounded her in the center like stars surrounding the moon.
"Miss Hou, why do you need to know him the same way? You will have a bright future in the future, but he will at most be a vassal king of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"He will be eliminated in the first round later. Let's see what else he can say."
After hearing what everyone said, Hou Xiang calmed down a little, thinking about his status, why should he be angry with a person who has no future.
At this time, Chen Bai also came over, with a sneer on his face, and whispered to Hou Xiang: "Miss Hou, when my brother becomes the king of Daxia, do you think there will still be a place for Chen Yang in the Daxia Dynasty?"
