"Yan Xiao, the Jun Family has already spread the word. They will likely come over this month to call off the engagement. When that happens, don't you dare make a scene—just accept it quietly.
Effective immediately, the family is revoking your status as a main-branch descendant. All resources and benefits previously provided for your cultivation are hereby terminated. Furthermore, you must vacate your current quarters to make room for other main-branch disciples; you are to move from the rear courtyard chambers to the servant's quarters!"
"Don't blame us for being heartless. These are the City Lord's own words. Family resources are limited, and now that your Spiritual Root is damaged and your cultivation has regressed to the point where you will never make progress again, you are nothing but a waste. It is a waste to squander resources on you. Besides, if the Jun Family comes to cancel the marriage, the City Lord's Estate will lose all face. If it weren't for the fact that your late father was the City Lord's own younger brother, we would have kicked you out long ago. We are still letting you live here, so you should be grateful."
