Chapter 720: 0721 Huge Blow! (Third Update)

After Jin Shanshun completely vindicated himself, the way the younger generation within the Jin clan looked at him changed, now carrying a hint of reverence.

This kind of treatment had never occurred before, and no one spoke ill of him behind his back anymore, saying that he had disgraced the Clan Leader.

Now, within the Jin clan, Jin Shanshun could walk with his chest puffed out, and more and more people greeted him as he walked around the clan grounds.

After being tempered by the Elder of the Jin clan, Jin Shanshun had slimmed down considerably from his former plump self. Now, there wasn’t much excess fat on his body, which had turned mainly to muscle, brimming with strength.

However, just when Jin Shanshun was gaining more confidence in his life, a message from his father disrupted his peace of mind instantly.

The Bu clan wants to enter into a marriage alliance with the Ji clan!

Such news might mean little to someone else, but the marriage partner from the Bu clan was Bu Ling, which made Jin Shanshun lose his composure.

Jin Wanshan was also very angry. He had clearly set a marriage agreement with the Clan Leader of the Bu clan for their families to be united by marriage, only for the Bu clan to switch allegiance to the Ji clan’s camp.

That quiet girl, as tranquil as water, why did she choose the Ji clan!

Ji Shan!

Jin Shanshun remembered Ji Shan’s face. This guy had humiliated him once at the Cloud Gown Palace Auction House, always making advances towards Bu Ling.

Ji Shan was to marry Jin Shanshun’s fiancée, and that news, somehow leaked by someone, became known to everyone in the Jin clan within a day.

This gave those who were reluctant to see Jin Shanshun rise a chance. Thus, the rumors about Ji Shan stealing Jin Shanshun’s fiancée spread fiercely in the clan, and some even brought up the incident of Ji Shan humiliating Jin Shanshun at the Cloud Gown Palace Auction House. Exaggerated by added details, they painted Jin Shanshun as a coward.

"Poor Jin Shanshun, just as he was rising, his fiancée was stolen by someone he can’t mess with."

"In the past, the members of the Bu clan used to greet us frequently, but now they don’t even bother to say hello, pretending not to see us. It seems they’ve really clung to the Ji clan’s coattails, rising with them. Now they don’t care about our Jin clan anymore."

"If you ask me, the Bu clan’s choice is not wrong. If it were you, would you choose an alliance with our Jin clan or with the Ji clan? It’s clear cut, isn’t it? People aim for higher grounds, and water flows to lower ones. The Bu clan is probably going to soar high now. Just by marrying Bu Ling over, the Ji clan, considering Bu Ling’s face, would also allow the Bu clan to grow stronger. The days of an insignificant ancient clan like the Bu clan are probably over."

"I wonder what Jin Shanshun feels like. He must be feeling awful inside. It looked like he really liked Bu Ling, but she chose someone else. It’s like falling from heaven into hell, sizzling..."

Jin Shanshun walked past some Jin clan youngsters who were discussing this. He heard every word of their conversation.

For a moment, they stopped talking and quickly dispersed. Jin Shanshun was not angry, but he felt uncomfortable inside.

He wondered if the Bu clan’s agreement to marry Bu Ling to the Ji clan was really because the other party was the foremost ancient clan of the land.

Actually, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to believe it.

He decided to go to the Bu clan to get some clarity.

"He didn’t hear us, did he?" Seeing Jin Shanshun leave the Jin clan, those youngsters who had pretended to disperse gathered again.

"Probably not. The feeling of having one’s fiancée stolen must be almost like being cuckolded."

The whispers behind his back gradually faded away as Jin Shanshun left the Jin clan and headed to the Bu clan.

Just as Jin Shanshun reached the entrance of the Bu clan, he saw Bu Ling and a man strolling in front of the gate.

That man was Ji Shan of the Ji clan.

Whoosh!

Both of them looked towards Jin Shanshun at the same time. Bu Ling’s gaze flickered, while Ji Shan by her side revealed a cold sneer, "What are you doing here?"

"I’ve come to see her; I don’t need to report to you," Jin Shanshun looked towards Bu Ling.

Ji Shan took a step forward, positioning his entire body in front of Bu Ling, and sneered, "Don’t you know that she is now my fiancée?"

"What does it matter whether I know or don’t know?" Jin Shanshun said.

"Perhaps you don’t understand me yet, but anything that belongs to me, Ji Shan, is off-limits to others. From today onwards, Bu Ling is my woman. It’s better for you to stay away from her, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!" Ji Shan said.

"Bu Ling and I have had an engagement since childhood; strictly speaking, she is rightfully my fiancée," the mention by Ji Shan awakened the fiery spirit within Jin Shanshun. Perhaps for the sake of what men call pride, even though he already knew this, he still had to speak out, for he found the face before him unbearable.

"Your engagement with Bu Ling is null and void now. The Clan Leader of Bu’s clan, which is Bu Ling’s father, has agreed to incorporate Bu Ling into our Ji clan, not your Jin clan. You better leave. I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to get physical," Ji Shan said.

Jin Shanshun remained unmoved. He looked at Bu Ling, who was blocked behind him, and shouted, "Bu Ling, do you really want to marry him?"

"I told you to leave..." Just as Jin Shanshun finished speaking, suddenly, Ji Shan punched Jin Shanshun, sending him flying.

Jin Shanshun coughed once and stood up, feeling a dull pain in his chest from Ji Shan’s punch.

Seeing Jin Shanshun getting punched away, Bu Ling stood up, blocked Ji Shan who was about to strike again, and then said to Jin Shanshun, "You should leave. Don’t come looking for me again. I won’t marry you."

"Bu Ling, although I know I’m not worthy of you, I’m striving to become better. I’m now considered a genius of the Jin clan. That day, you saw it too; I defeated Jin Jian and Jin Lin and was even taken as an apprentice by Elder Jin Huang. I’m not inferior to him..." Jin Shanshun was speaking when Bu Ling interrupted him, saying, "Jin Shanshun, I told you, I won’t marry you."

The cold words extinguished Jin Shanshun’s fervor, as he looked at the woman he had always regarded as a goddess, the once quiet girl now felt incredibly distant to him.

"Are you marrying him because he is from the first ancient clan?" Jin Shanshun asked the question he most wanted to know.

However, Bu Ling didn’t answer him. Ji Shan walked over to Jin Shanshun and said indifferently, "Have you resigned yourself to it?"

"Now that you know the answer, just leave. Bu Ling will marry me in the future. What do you have to compete with me!"

"With that little strength you showed at your Jin clan’s martial contest?" Ji Shan sneered and continued, "It’s laughable, merely contest within a bottom-tier ancient clan, without a single decent opponent, what’s there to be proud of!"

"Heard you got the second place? Haha... I wonder if you could even defeat the least skilled descendant of our Ji clan."

Ji Shan mocked mercilessly.

"You’re just stealing Bu Ling away by relying on your Ji clan’s power; what else do you think you have!" Jin Shanshun retorted after a long silence.

Ji Shan became furious. Being evaluated this way by a descendant of a bottom-tier ancient clan for the first time, he scoffed, "What do I have, you ask? Well... My fist is bigger than yours; care to try it out?"

"Let’s try it then!" Jin Shanshun’s fighting spirit suddenly erupted.

Boom!

The two struck blows at each other right in front of the Bu clan’s gate, starting their altercation.

Twenty minutes later.

Jin Shanshun, supporting his bruised body, limped away from the place, Ji Shan’s dismissive words echoing in his mind.

"You’ll never be my rival in this lifetime. You think you’re a genius in your own ancient clan, but in front of the descendants of our Ji clan, you’re nothing more than a frog in a well!"

Jin Shanshun was defeated, miserably in front of the woman he loved!

Bu Ling’s visage faded before his eyes, ungraspable even as he reached for it.

Under the slanted sun, Jin Shanshun laughed and disappeared into the horizon!
