Female Novel
Chapter 2206
At that moment, Zaid stepped forward and said smilingly, “Sect Elder Zaydon, my daughter has nowish to marry at the moment. Why don’t we postpone this matter for now? Maybe my daughter willcome to her senses in the future.”
Since the Zaydons were the leader among the three great families of Kineallen City, the Yanis didnot wish to provoke them unnecessarily.
“Melany, you are destined to be mine.” Justin looked at Melany with a ravenous look on his face andsaid, “Soon, you will come to the Zaydens’ household and beg me to marry you.”
Then, he turned to leave.
The Zaydons’ Sect Elder glared at Zaid and smirked. “Ungrateful wretch!”novelbin
After he spoke, he turned to leave.
Once they left, Zaid sighed dejectedly and said, “Melany, you shouldn’t have turned down their offer.You should understand what kind of situation we’re in at the moment. After suckering up with theDivinity Sect, the Zaydons have grown ever more abrasive and arrogant. No one dares challengethem in Kineallen City. Even in Doncaster, very few families dare stand up to them.”
“That being said, you should know what kind of person Justin is. He’s a rare genius, but he’s also acold and ruthless man. Besides, he’s a playboy who messes around with women. How will I behappy being married to him?
“He only has his eyes on my body. Once he has his way, he will lose interest in me. I will nevermarry him.”
Zaid sighed, “Now that you rejected his advances, I don’t know what kind of underhanded tacticsthe Zaydens will resort to.”
He was only concerned that the Zaydons would resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes.With the Yanis’ current strength, they stood no chance against them.
Melany thought about it and said, “Since Justin passed the Divinity Sect’s examination and hasbecome a disciple of the sect, I will turn to the Welkin Academy. As long as I become a disciple ofthe Divinity Sect, the Zaydons wouldn't dare make a move against us.”
“But…” Zaid said anxiously, “The Welkin Academy has an extremely strict admission process. Infact, joining the Welkin Academy is even harder than joining the Divinity Sect. Are you confident inyour chances?”
Melany shook her head. She was not confident at all.
There were a few influential forces within the Ancient Realm, and the Divinity Sect and the WelkinAcademy were among them. Every disciple of these two sects was a genius and distinguishedamongst their peers. However, Melany had no choice. To avoid being married to Justin and preventthe Zaydons from resorting to underhanded tactics against them, she could only join the WelkinAcademy and become a disciple. It was the only way to deter the Zaydons from making a move.
“Alright, you’re dismissed.”
Zaid waved his hand slightly.
“Rest well, Father,” she said and turned to leave.
Upon leaving the foyer, the chambermaid who notified her of the Zaydons’ arrival rushed over to herside.
“How did it go, My Lady?”
Melany sighed, “I turned down their offer. However, they threatened me with words.”
Stunned, the chambermaid asked, “What should we do now then?”
Melany said, “Justin Zaydon passed the Divinity Sect’s examination and would soon become adisciple. All these years, the Zaydons have looked down on the other two families. Now that theyhave suckered up with the Divinity Sect, they might grow even more abrasive. Only by becoming adisciple of the Welkin Academy can I stand against them.”
Stunned, the chambermaid said, “What? The Welkin Academy? But I heard that getting into theWelkin Academy is even harder.”
“I’ll have to try regardless. Coincidentally, the Welkin Academy has been admitting new disciples inDoncaster lately.”
Now that it had come to this, Melany had no other choice.
She refused to sit around and do nothing. Her man would be a hero of her choosing and not a fouland despicable man like Justin.
Dejected, she returned to the courtyard. Entering the room, she looked at James who was lying onthe bed, and walked over to him. Then, she sat beside him and looked at James who was staringblankly at the ceiling.
She sighed. “I’ll be leaving in a few days. I won’t be able to take care of you soon.”
She encountered James while she was passing by a mountain. Back then, his body was covered ininjuries, and his life was hanging by a thread. Unwilling to leave him to his own fate, she broughthim back and took care of him.
