I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 6 A Perfect Assist, Beauty Truly Beyond Compare

In the Su family’s back courtyard:

“Young Master, although it might be overstepping, this old servant is quite worried…”

“If you change the family’s decision to cancel the engagement on your own, you’ll face a lot of reprimands and punishment when you return. Though I know you don’t want Miss Su to suffer, this decision is, alas, unwise…”

The elderly coachman, seeing Jiang Minghan leisurely blowing on his tea, couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

As an old servant, he shouldn’t be saying these things.

But he couldn’t bear the thought of Jiang Minghan being punished upon returning to the family.

The hidden Jiang family had strict rules, and many elders had decided that Young Master Jiang Minghan should come to cancel the engagement, to settle the matter.

However, he never expected that the young master had no intention of canceling the engagement.

Instead, he gave Su Mingyue many valuable things.

Jiang Minghan, sensing something, put down his tea and said calmly, “I’ll explain to the family myself. Whatever punishment there is, I’ll bear it.”

“After all, I did harm the family’s interests this time, but the engagement should no longer be mentioned. If I hear you gossiping about this in front of Miss Su, you know the consequences.”

“Yes, Young Master, this old servant wouldn’t dare.”

Seeing that Jiang Minghan seemed a bit angry, the elderly servant’s face changed, and he hurriedly replied in a trembling voice.

Jiang Minghan nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

With his strength and status, what kind of punishment could he face?

Moreover, the plan to cancel the engagement was his idea, only to change his mind.

This old servant didn’t understand, but his words turned out to be a good assist.

Knock, knock, knock…

At that moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

“Come in,” Jiang Minghan said.

“Young Master Jiang…”

Su Mingyue walked in, holding tea, her expression somewhat awkward. She hadn’t expected to overhear Jiang Minghan reprimanding his servant.

But hearing this by accident, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace and gratitude.

Jiang Minghan, still composed, smiled and said, “Why trouble Miss Su with servant duties?”

“It’s nothing. I’m not one to be pampered. Young Master Jiang, please call me Mingyue instead; it feels less distant that way,” Su Mingyue blinked and said.

Jiang Minghan seemed a bit surprised at her words, then nodded, “If that’s the case, I’ll oblige.”

After setting down the tea, Su Mingyue felt that her previous words were a bit bold and quickly left, her face flushed.

Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Minghan’s smile faded as he reviewed his gains.

Things were turning out simpler than he had imagined.

***

On the other side,

The head of the Su family, feeling that things were looking up, was discussing the situation with Su Mingyue, who had come back from delivering tea.

For the past three years, Su Mingyue had suffered much bitterness and humiliation due to her regression.

As her father, he had seen it all and was pained by it.

So he had been doing his utmost to help her, even offending many family elders, but to no avail.

“Young Master Jiang is truly a benefactor to our family. As the young master of the hidden immortal clan, he doesn’t have the slightest arrogance, instead being gentle and elegant.”

“Mingyue, you must have accumulated great blessings in your past lives to meet Young Master Jiang!”

In the end, he added some teasing words, feeling very relieved.

Adding icing on the cake is common, but sending charcoal in the snow is rare.

Moreover, Jiang Minghan’s kindness to the Su family couldn’t just be described as sending charcoal; it was like sending the sun.

(tln : her father thought the same as his daughter)

“Father, how can you say that about your daughter? But indeed, meeting Young Master Jiang is my good fortune. I was prepared for the humiliation of the engagement being called off…” Su Mingyue smiled.

Thinking of Jiang Minghan’s recent words and actions filled her heart with warmth and gratitude.

But then, she felt troubled by her status as a cripple.

When she was still the saintess of the Butian God Sect, she knew how terrifying and brilliant the young master of the hidden immortal clan was.

“If they knew that Young Master Jiang didn’t cancel the engagement with a cripple like me, those heavenly daughters would be insanely jealous.”

“Now, I’m standing in their way.”

Su Mingyue’s lips curved into a light smile, not viewing it as a problem.

She had a feeling that she wouldn’t remain in her current state forever.

“Master, Miss, Young Master Su Ling is here.”

At this moment, a servant hurriedly reported from outside the courtyard.

“Su Ling?”

The head of the Su family frowned, puzzled, “What’s he doing here?”

Su Mingyue also looked confused.

Her cousin, who had once been quite close due to being fostered in the Su family,

Had almost severed ties with her after she joined the Butian God Sect.

Three years ago, when she lost her cultivation and became a cripple, Su Ling hadn’t visited her.

Why was he here today?

“Father, if I remember correctly, Cousin Su Ling is from one of the eight ancient clans, right?”

Su Mingyue asked softly.

Soon, in the main hall, she saw her cousin whom she hadn’t contacted for many years.

“What? The young master of the hidden immortal clan is already here?”

Su Ling, dressed in luxurious clothing, held a folding fan in one hand and kept the other behind his back, trying to maintain a calm and gentle expression.

But hearing the servant’s reply, he was shocked.

Then, he felt a surge of joy, thinking he arrived just in time.

The young master of the hidden immortal clan had just canceled Su Mingyue’s engagement.

Now, Su Mingyue must be feeling humiliated and angry.

So, if he offered help during her time of need, making her realize who was truly good to her, she would naturally develop feelings for him.

Moreover, they had been quite close in the past.

“Mingyue, my dear cousin, long time… long time no see. I hope you’ve been well…”

But the next moment, seeing the beautiful figure in white approaching, even though Su Ling had prepared himself,

His heart skipped a beat, eyes widening, almost unable to complete his sentence.

Beautiful… truly beyond compare. She was indeed a destiny’s favored one, far more beautiful than he remembered.

Her features were exquisite and flawless, her aura cold and ethereal.

Like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the mortal world, every glance and movement exuded an icy celestial aura.

In that instant, Su Ling made up his mind to bring this peerless beauty into his harem.

Of course, he wasn’t foolish, and quickly composed himself, maintaining his calm and gentle demeanor.

“Hmm?”

“Are you Cousin Su Ling?”

Seeing Su Ling trying hard to maintain his composure,

Su Mingyue frowned, her expression growing more puzzled.

She couldn’t understand why Su Ling now seemed so unfamiliar and strange.

Although they hadn’t seen each other for years, the Su Ling she remembered was mature and steady.

Why did he now have that lascivious look in his eyes?

She immediately felt a sense of displeasure.
