"Adam Bennett brother, do you know their identities?" Just as Adam Bennett was getting bored and about to doze off, Emily beside him flipped open the ancient book with her slender fingers, smiled without looking up, and said.

"You know?" Turning his head curiously, Adam Bennett asked in surprise.

"Did you see the cloud-shaped silver sword on the cuffs of their robes?" Emily said with a slight smile.

"Oh?" Adam Bennett's heart stirred, and he turned his gaze to the cuffs of the three people, indeed spotting a cloud-shaped silver sword.

"They're from the Yunlan Sect?" Adam Bennett whispered in astonishment.

Although he hadn't gone out for training, Adam Bennett had read about this sword sect in some books. The city where the Xiao family resided was called Wu Tan City, which belonged to the Jia Ma Empire. Although the city had become one of the empire's major cities due to its proximity to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it was still ranked at the bottom.

Adam Bennett's family held considerable influence in Wu Tan City, but they were not the only ones. There were two other major families in the city whose strength was comparable to the Xiao family. The three sides had been openly and secretly competing for decades, yet no clear winner had emerged...

If the Xiao family was a dominant force in Wu Tan City, then the Yunlan Sect that Adam Bennett mentioned could be said to be the overlord of the entire Jia Ma Empire! The gap between them was like a chasm, and it was no wonder that even his usually stern father spoke of them with such reverence.

"What are they doing at our family?" Adam Bennett asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.

Emily's slender fingertip paused slightly. After a moment of silence, she said, "Maybe it has something to do with you, Adam Bennett brother..."

"Me? I've never had any dealings with them!" Upon hearing this, Adam Bennett was taken aback and shook his head in denial.

"Do you know that girl's name?" Emily glanced lightly at the delicate girl across from them.

"What?" Adam Bennett frowned and pressed further.

"Olivia Foster!" A hint of strangeness appeared on Emily's small face as she glanced sideways at the now-stiff Adam Bennett.

"Olivia Foster? Edward Foster, the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire's granddaughter, Olivia Foster? The one... the one who is my fiancée by a betrothal made before birth?" Adam Bennett said stiffly.

"Hehe, back then, Grandpa and Edward Foster were sworn friends, and you and Olivia Foster happened to be born at the same time. So, the two old men arranged this marriage. Unfortunately, in the third year after you were born, Grandpa died from serious injuries sustained in a battle with an enemy. As time passed, the relationship between the Xiao and Nalan families gradually faded..." Emily paused slightly, looked at Adam Bennett's wide eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle softly before continuing, "Edward Foster is not only stubborn by nature, but also extremely values his promises. The marriage was agreed to by him personally, so even though Adam Bennett brother's reputation has been terrible these past few years, he never sent anyone to break off the engagement..."

"This old man is stubborn in a rather endearing way..." Hearing this, Adam Bennett couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Edward Foster holds absolute authority in his family. What he says is rarely opposed. Although he dotes on his granddaughter Olivia Foster, getting him to break off the engagement would be difficult..." Emily's beautiful eyes curved playfully as she teased, "But five years ago, Olivia Foster was personally accepted as a disciple by the Yunlan Sect leader Julia Carter. In these five years, Olivia Foster has shown extraordinary talent in cultivation, making Julia Carter dote on her even more... When someone gains the power to change their own fate, they will do everything they can to get rid of things they dislike... Unfortunately, Adam Bennett brother, your engagement to her is exactly what she is most dissatisfied with!"

"You mean, she's here this time to break off the engagement?"

Adam Bennett's expression changed, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart. This anger wasn't because of Olivia Foster's disdain for him. To be honest, although the girl across from him was beautiful, Adam Bennett was not someone ruled by his desires. Even if he couldn't marry her, at most he would feel a man's habitual regret. But if she really requested to break off the engagement with his father in front of everyone, then his father, as the clan leader, would lose all face!

Olivia Foster was not only beautiful and charming, but also of high status and exceptional talent. Anyone who heard about this would think that Adam Bennett was a toad lusting after a swan, only to be trampled under the swan's feet...

If that happened, in the future not only Adam Bennett, but even his father would become the laughingstock of others, losing all dignity.

Taking a light breath of the chilly air, Adam Bennett's hand hidden in his sleeve was already clenched tightly: "If only I were a Dou Practitioner now, who would dare trample on me like this?"

Indeed, if Adam Bennett had the strength of a Dou Practitioner at this moment, then even with the Yunlan Sect backing Olivia Foster, she wouldn't be able to act like this. A fifteen-year-old Dou Practitioner—heh, in the long history of the Dou Qi Continent, there have only been a handful of such people, and all of them have already become legends in the world of Dou Qi cultivation!
