The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1312 - 1315: Letter of Divorce

"As far as I know, the proposal came from the Xia Family, and now they want to call off the engagement. Isn’t that too rash and showing too much contempt for our Murong Family?" A middle-aged man said, dressed in a neat and luxurious outfit, stepping forward.

"Yes, yes, do they think our Murong Family is just a backyard where they can come and go as they please?"

"Isn’t this just playing with us?"

A chorus of murmurs came from the crowd behind, most of which were complaints.

"No more talking."

The Murong Family Head spoke up: "This matter involves both families, but if the Xia Family’s girl truly doesn’t want the marriage, we won’t force her."

"I don’t want it!" Xue Mei immediately said.

"Alright then, in that case, let my grandson write a divorce letter, and the Murong Family and Xia Family can go their separate ways." The Murong Family Head said.

Lin Fei and Xue Mei were about to thank him when Liu Muqing spoke up: "Wait, this cannot happen!"

Everyone looked at Liu Muqing, and the Murong Family Head said: "There seems to be no other solution to this matter if we want to clarify the relationship between the two families. Otherwise, what can be done? Mu Qing, do you have a better idea?"

Liu Muqing stepped forward, looked at Lin Fei and Xue Mei, and said: "The relationship between the two families comes from the arranged marriage, but there’s no substantive relationship between the two. In the end, they have no romantic affection, so naturally, they part ways. Can’t the female return the betrothal gifts to the Murong Family? As for the divorce letter, I think it’s better to forget it."

"No wedding ceremony has been held yet, so a divorce letter seems unreasonable, and for a girl who has never been married, a divorce letter is like a stain that cannot be washed away in her lifetime. So, the divorce letter cannot be written." Liu Muqing said.

At that moment, Lin Fei and Xue Mei finally understood why Liu Muqing stopped this matter; the key lay in the divorce letter.

The divorce letter is equivalent to a divorce certificate today, but having a divorce certificate indicates that the woman was married. A woman who has been married and then divorced will never be considered pure or clean; rather, she is seen as abandoned.

So Liu Muqing stopped the Murong Family Head to preserve Lin Fei and Xue Mei’s reputations.

"Mu Qing, tell me what I should do?" The Murong Family Head said with a smile, though the smile was slightly cold.

"Murong Senior, Mu Qing dare not say, but you should. We cannot write the divorce letter, but our Manshan is willing to pay back the betrothal gifts for the Xia Family." Liu Muqing said with a smile.

"You really care for your disciples at Manshan, huh? If that’s the case, should we not bring gifts to the Dou Sect Master’s disciple admission ceremony?" The Murong Family Head asked.

Liu Muqing shook his head and said: "Murong Family Head, matters are separate and should not be confused. I believe Murong Senior is just joking with the junior."

Upon hearing Liu Muqing’s words, the Murong Family Head was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Mu Qing is right, I was indeed joking with you. For the Dou Sect Master’s disciple admission ceremony, our Murong Family will certainly prepare a grand gift!"

"In that case, Lin Fei, shouldn’t you thank the Murong Family Head for this?" Liu Muqing said.

Lin Fei and Xue Mei exchanged a glance and quickly spoke: "Thank you, Murong Family Head, for accommodating us."

Liu Muqing then said: "Regarding the betrothal gifts, I’ll send someone to deliver them to the Murong Family once I return to Manshan, how’s that?"

"Haha, no need, it’s just a small gift; it won’t trouble the disciples of Manshan to make a trip. Consider it a congratulatory gift to Lin Fei and Xia Family’s girl." The Murong Family Head said with a wide smile.

"Thank you then."

Liu Muqing responded.

"I’m tired, feel free to walk around our Murong Family, Mu Qing, I’m heading back now." The Murong Family Head said.

"Take care, Murong Senior..." Liu Muqing bowed to the Murong Family Head, watching him leave, then turned to Lin Fei: "You two, follow me."

The two followed Liu Muqing to a garden, where Liu Muqing asked: "Little Junior Brother, hasn’t Master told you that the Demon Refinement Technique must not be used like this?"

Lin Fei was taken aback and said: "How to use it, Senior Brother, Master hasn’t mentioned."

Liu Muqing patted his forehead and said: "Perhaps Master forgot, but I must tell you, the Demon Refinement Technique shouldn’t lead Heaven and Earth Qi into your meridians, if you do, it will harm your future cultivation. The way you just did, if severe, it could cause permanent damage to your body. Your current realm is still in the Ancient Martial realm; forceful stimulation of the meridians might halt your progression in Ancient Martial..."

"What? But the cultivation method in the Demon Refinement Technique is like that; I was just following it..." Lin Fei said.

Liu Muqing shook his head and said: "The Demon Refinement Technique is an incomplete cultivation method, not a complete method. Incomplete methods often have errors. Without proper guidance at the beginning, you shouldn’t follow what’s written. So don’t do this again."

Lin Fei nodded, regretful over his realization that the Demon Refinement Technique was incomplete and unusable. He wished he had accepted the Dou Sect Master’s advice to find a better cultivation method; a complete one would certainly be better than this incomplete one!

"Junior Brother, isn’t your matter now settled? When are you leaving?" Liu Muqing asked.

"Today, I don’t want to stay here any longer." Lin Fei said.

"That’s wise; after all, staying here longer only invites more trouble and incidents. You’re better off leaving now, but don’t forget the disciple admission ceremony. If you’re not there, no one will attend." Liu Muqing said.

Lin Fei smiled and said: "I won’t forget, but thank you for your help today. Otherwise, I might have made a serious mistake!"

"It’s nothing; we’re fellow disciples, and helping each other is expected. If you want to leave, do so before the train station closes." Liu Muqing said.

"Well, goodbye, Senior Brother." Lin Fei held Xue Mei’s hand and said.

"Farewell!" Liu Muqing nodded, watching Lin Fei depart, then walked toward the Murong Family’s courtyard to handle some matters and face certain challenges.

The Murong Family has always been one of several restless ancient clans, and these unstable factors make the Ancient Martial World very dangerous. So he needs to probe the Murong Family’s intentions.

Although, after Lin Fei’s incident, things might be more challenging.

Lin Fei and Xue Mei arrived at the train station, fortunately, it hadn’t closed yet, and they boarded a train heading out of Murong City.

Lin Fei hadn’t expected that after arriving in Murong City, he would leave before a day had passed; everything happened so quickly it left him disoriented.

However, Lin Fei felt relieved that Xue Mei’s matter was resolved, putting his mind at ease, and Xue Mei wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.

"Xue Mei, do you love me?" Lin Fei embraced Xue Mei, jokingly.

"Go away, I don’t love you..." Xue Mei playfully chided.

"Don’t love, haha..."
