Chapter 148: Breaking off the Engagement

Normally, even if the guild members wanted to meet Han Xing in private, he would never agree. Firstly, he didn’t think it was necessary, and secondly, he didn’t want to expose his identity in the game too early.
In the Second World, the players who had the strength of a god gamer had improved rapidly. Now, what made these players afraid was his real identity. The Mad Dragon Guild had yet to develop to the point where it could dominate the Second World, so Han Xing was not in a hurry.
After Shangguan Xuelan heard Zhao Xiyao’s analysis, she couldn’t help but complain, “If only you had told me earlier, it would have saved me-” She didn’t finish the second half of her sentence. If she had known earlier that Han Xing was the guild master, she would have performed well in front of the guild master.
Han Xing was expressionless. He knew that Zhao Xiyao must have something she wanted to do by asking them to come here.
“What do you need us to do?”
“Actually, it’s just a small matter.” Zhao Xiyao smiled and said, “1 want you to accompany me to the Zheng family.”
“What are we going there for?” Shangguan Xuelan mumbled, “Don’t tell me you’re going to marry him? I’m not going to give you a red packet for that.”
“Of course not.” Zhao Xiyao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She replied, “I’m going there to break off the engagement, but my parents don’t know about it yet, so 1 decided to do it first.”
“As for breaking off the engagement, of course, there has to be a reason, don’t you think? Boyfriend.” She looked at Han Xing mischievously, and Han Xing immediately understood her intentions.
Shangguan Xuelan felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart when she heard the way she addressed Han Xing. Before she could figure out what this strange feeling was, she heard Zhao Xiyao continue.
“However, if I personally go to break off the engagement, I believe that the young master of the Zheng family will not treat it too kindly. Guild Master, this trip will definitely be a thankless task. If you…”
“It’s alright.” Han Xing interrupted her and said seriously, “If you’re unwilling, then I’ll go with you.”
Zhao Xiyao’s eyes moved, and Shangguan Xuelan also urged her impatiently, “Then let’s set off now. How can we leave me out for this kind of thing?”
The Zheng family’s economic status in Jiang Province was indeed not as high as the Zhao family’s, but they had people above them. Their background was even more powerful. The Zhao family was only in business and had very few connections in this area. At that time, the engagement between the two families was also for this purpose.
In the past, Zhao Xiyao never cared about her marriage. She didn’t think she could meet someone she really liked. They would all be living together and could also add some benefits to the family.
However, it was different now. Her heart was already filled with someone. She did not want to make do with him anymore. Her life must be in her own hands.
After Zhao Xiyao counted the bodyguards, she asked the driver to drive them to the Zheng family.
The Zheng family’s residence was very spacious. The entire small villa was surrounded by all kinds of small buildings. There was a huge garden in front and a golf course at the back.
The bodyguard at the door recognized the Zhao family’s car at a glance and opened the door to let them in. After getting out of the car, the butler saw Zhao Xiyao paying a visit and hurriedly went to inform the young master of the Zheng family.
“I’m sorry, Miss Zhao. Please wait inside for a moment. Master and Madam have gone out and haven’t returned yet. Young Master is still not awake yet.” The butler looked at Zhao Xiyao apologetically, then led the three of them to the living room and made them three cups of black tea.
“No need to be so polite.” Zhao Xiyao smiled and said, “However, please call your young master down. I have something to discuss with him.”
After the butler left respectfully, he hurriedly went upstairs. Not long after, he heard a commotion coming from upstairs.
“What is it? You said that woman came over again. It’s really annoying. I’ve said it hundreds of times, 1 don’t want to see her!”
“Alright, alright, 1’11 go, okay? Don’t use my mother to pressure me anymore.”
A young man with a gloomy expression and messy hair walked down. He was wearing pajamas and looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. He was the young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Guanghe.
The moment he came down and saw the person in the living room, he didn’t care about anything else and collapsed on the sofa. He placed his legs on the coffee table and said with an unfriendly expression, “What are you doing here again? I’m not even 20 years old yet. I can’t marry you.”
Shangguan Xuelan glanced at the child in front of her and then at the expressionless Zhao Xiyao. Her voice trembled as she asked, “You-you two are engaged in a marriage alliance?! Is this little brat an adult yet?”
Zheng Guanghe immediately jumped up when he heard her call him a little brat. He shouted, “Hey, you b*tch, who are you calling a brat? I’m already 16 years old this year. I’m not a child!”
“I’m sorry, little brother. I already have a boyfriend, so I’m here to break off the engagement.” Zhao Xiyao said gently.
“Break it off then.” Zheng Guanghe glanced at Han Xing, who was much taller than him. He couldn’t help but sit up straight and look up at Han Xing. He asked, “If you’re her boyfriend, how are your gaming skills?”
He didn’t want to ask, but the only thing he could do was play games. He was considered a god gamer player in the Second World. When he thought of this, the expression on his face became even more conceited. So what if this person was handsome? If he couldn’t even play games well, how could he give that stinky woman happiness?
Han Xing smiled and replied, “If I’m better at gaming than you, will you agree to break off the engagement?”
“Of course!” Zheng Guanghe’s expression was like a rooster with its head held high. “If you can’t even do something as simple as playing games, then you probably can’t do anything else either.”
“Alright then.” Han Xing shrugged and replied, “I’ve been playing the Second World recently and I’m doing pretty well.”
“Is that so?” Zheng Guanghe’s eyes lit up and he asked, “What is your ID in the game? I’ll go check it out later.”
“There’s no need to check. I think you should have heard of my in-game ID.” Han Xing smiled and continued, “My in-game ID is Star Rebel.”
“The Star Rebel?” Zheng Guanghe was stunned. “Why does this name sound so familiar? Wait!” He suddenly looked at Han Xing in horror.
“You! You’re not lying to me, are you? How could you possibly be Star Rebel?” He looked at Han Xing suspiciously, obviously not believing what Han Xing had just said.
“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can give me your ID and I’ll add you when I get back.”
Shangguan Xuelan couldn’t help but boast, “Of course, he’s the Star Rebel, and I’m a member of the Mad Dragon Guild!”
Zheng Guanghe’s pride was instantly crushed. He looked at Han Xing and said, “So what if you’re Star Rebel? Unless you let me join the Mad Dragon Guild, 1 won’t do it. I won’t break off the engagement!”
Star Rebel was more or less his idol. He had once fantasized about meeting his idol. At the very least, it would be on the leaderboards or during a Boss fight. He would let his idol see his true strength.
However, he didn’t expect that life would give him a heavy blow. Why did it have to be at a time like this? He hadn’t even become a god gamer yet, so how could he fight against God Gamer Star Rebel?
“You want to join the Mad Dragon Guild? Sure!” Han Xing glanced at Zheng
Guanghe. He said, “Show me your moves..”
