Chapter 2206

At that moment, Zaid stepped forward and said smilingly, “Sect Elder Zaydon, my daughter has no wish

to marry at the moment. Why don’t we postpone this matter for now? Maybe my daughter will come to

her senses in the future.”

Since the Zaydons were the leader among the three great families of Kineallen City, the Yanis did not

wish to provoke them unnecessarily.

“Melany, you are destined to be mine.” Justin looked at Melany with a ravenous look on his face and

said, “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!”

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 the

Divinity Sect, the Zaydons have grown ever more abrasive and arrogant. No one dares challenge them

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 a

cold and ruthless man. Besides, he’s a playboy who messes around with women. How will I be happy

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 never marry

him.”

Zaid sighed, “Now that you rejected his advances, I don’t know what kind of underhanded tactics the

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 has

become a disciple of the sect, I will turn to the Welkin Academy. As long as I become a disciple of the

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. In fact,

joining the Welkin Academy is even harder than joining the Divinity Sect. Are you confident in your

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 Welkin

Academy were among them. Every disciple of these two sects was a genius and distinguished

amongst their peers. However, Melany had no choice. To avoid being married to Justin and prevent the

Zaydons from resorting to underhanded tactics against them, she could only join the Welkin Academy

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 her

side.

“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 a disciple.

All these years, the Zaydons have looked down on the other two families. Now that they have suckered

up with the Divinity Sect, they might grow even more abrasive. Only by becoming a disciple of the

Welkin Academy can I stand against them.”

Stunned, the chambermaid said, “What? The Welkin Academy? But I heard that getting into the Welkin

Academy is even harder.”

“I’ll have to try regardless. Coincidentally, the Welkin Academy has been admitting new disciples in

Doncaster 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 foul and

despicable man like Justin.

Dejected, she returned to the courtyard. Entering the room, she looked at James who was lying on the

bed, and walked over to him. Then, she sat beside him and looked at James who was staring blankly 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 in

injuries, and his life was hanging by a thread. Unwilling to leave him to his own fate, she brought him

back and took care of him.
