"Major General, are you sure the one you're engaged to is this Lu Pan?"
Yanzi, driving the car, reminded Nalan Mingyue, as there were too many people with the same name in this world.
Nalan Mingyue's mind flashed with Lu Pan's image.
That day at the auction, he announced his name, and it couldn't be anyone else.
"In my opinion, Major General, you should break off this engagement," Yanzi continued when Nalan Mingyue remained silent. "If his lineage still existed, he would naturally be a suitable match for you."
"But their lineage no longer exists, and he's just a runner now. How can he be worthy of you!"
Nalan Mingyue showed a hint of displeasure and reprimanded, "Yanzi, how many times have I told you, he is our savior. You are not to be disrespectful like this again!"
Yanzi stuck out her tongue. "I won't slander him, but with his current status and position, he truly isn't worthy of you."
"Not to mention anything else, the introductions from Old Wei are all from prestigious families in the capital. Any one of them is better than him."
When it came to Nalan Mingyue's lifelong marriage, Yanzi became quite talkative.
"Enough," Nalan Mingyue interrupted her. "I am breaking off the engagement because I once said I would dedicate my life to the battlefield and remain unmarried!"
"That's likely because the Major General hasn't met someone who captures her heart," Yanzi mumbled softly. "How can a woman not get married? Eventually, she needs a man to rely on."
"You little girl, are you feeling lovesick?" Nalan Mingyue teased when she heard this.
Yanzi quickly shook her head in fright, "No, no. I don't fancy those rough men from our Northern Territory."
Nalan Mingyue smiled and glanced at the time, urging, "Drive faster."

West Sea District, Police Station.
Xie Chou entered the interrogation room holding a steel whip, his eyes filled with ferocity. "Kid, blame yourself for offending Master Lu. Since you refuse a toast and prefer a penalty, I'll teach you a lesson."
With that, Xie Chou swung the steel whip towards Lu Pan!
If he were hit, his flesh would surely be torn open.
Lu Pan looked indifferently at Xie Chou, who was attempting to inflict corporal punishment. In the next moment, his handcuffs shattered, and he appeared before Xie Chou like a phantom.
Bang—
Lu Pan threw a punch, and Xie Chou's abdomen took a heavy blow, sending him crashing heavily against the wall.
"Ah, you, you dare assault..."
Slap—
Lu Pan picked up the steel whip and directly whipped Xie Chou.
Ah!!
Xie Chou let out a piercing scream, the intense pain almost causing him to pass out.
"Open your dog eyes wide and see who I am!" Lu Pan directly pulled out a small red booklet and threw it in front of Xie Chou.
Xie Chou endured the intense pain and trembled as he flipped open the booklet. Upon seeing the bright red seal,
his eyes widened, revealing a look of horror.
A fear that originated from the depths of his soul made his entire body tremble!!
On the booklet, seven red stars and seven golden medals represented Lu Pan's identity!
"Seven, Seven-Star General!"
The fear Lu Pan instilled in him made him forget the pain.
"Xie Chou pays his respects to the Seven-Star General. Xie Chou deserves death, ten thousand deaths!"
Xie Chou kowtowed desperately, hoping that Lu Pan would spare him and give him a chance to atone for his crimes.
Seven-Star General, the War God of Huaxia.
He bows not to heaven and earth, nor to any monarch!!
Below one person, above ten thousand!!
When the Seven Stars rage, corpses litter the land for miles!!
Xie Chou was truly terrified, fearing that Lu Pan would, in his anger, exterminate his entire clan.
Bang bang—
Xie Chou kowtowed frantically, his head already bloodied.
"You, deserve to die!"
Lu Pan retracted the small red book, placed a foot on Xie Chou's chest, and exerted sudden force, directly severing his vital脉.
A lackey of the Lu family, he was not worth pity.
Li Wei, who had rushed in, also happened to see Lu Pan flashing his credentials and knelt on the ground, trembling.
Lu Pan withdrew his foot and walked towards the exit.
As he passed Li Wei, he said, "Dispose of the body cleanly. From today onwards, you are the head of this precinct!"
Li Wei, who hadn't expected this stroke of luck, hurriedly bowed, "Li Wei thanks the Seven-Star..."
"It's inconvenient for my identity to be revealed!" Lu Pan interrupted Li Wei.
Li Wei understood immediately and quickly changed his address, "Thank you, sir. Li Wei is willing to serve you with all his might until death!"
Li Wei knew this was his only chance to soar to greatness.
"Get up!" Lu Pan walked towards the exit.
"Why is she here?"
Just as he stepped out of the interrogation room, Lu Pan saw Nalan Mingyue and Yanzi approaching, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Nalan Mingyue also saw Lu Pan emerging from the interrogation room.
Seeing Lu Pan again, Nalan Mingyue still had that cool and heroic demeanor.
Nalan Mingyue did not speak and directly presented her credentials to Li Wei.
Upon seeing them, Li Wei obediently stepped aside.
"I heard you killed someone?" Nalan Mingyue asked directly, without any preamble. "I can guarantee your release, but with one condition."
As she spoke, Nalan Mingyue handed the marriage certificate in her hand to Lu Pan. "You and I cancel the engagement."
Lu Pan's expression was calm, which surprised Nalan Mingyue. Could it be that he already knew about their engagement?
Yanzi, on the other hand, thought Lu Pan was stunned by Nalan Mingyue's words and loudly declared, "Lu, even though you saved the Major General, she will never marry you!"
"Moreover, the Major General is a Three-Star Major General, and in a few years, she will become a Four-Star, or even a Five-Star. Your statuses are vastly different. I hope you can recognize reality!"
Yanzi spoke rapidly, giving Lu Pan no chance to retort.
Nalan Mingyue did not stop her. Although her words were somewhat harsh, she hoped that Lu Pan would retreat.
After all, there would be no relationship between them in the future.
Li Wei, standing nearby, opened his mouth in astonishment. He knew that Lu Pan was a Seven-Star General, the War God of the nation!
His status and position were worlds apart from Nalan Mingyue's!
How would Yanzi dare to say that Lu Pan was climbing too high?
He truly wondered what Nalan Mingyue and Yanzi would think if they knew Lu Pan's true identity.
Li Wei dared not speak, as Lu Pan had instructed him not to reveal his identity.
"Are you finished?" Lu Pan took the marriage certificate and replied calmly, "I agree!"
With that, he flicked his hand, and the marriage certificate turned into countless fragments. A triangular jade pendant, entirely crimson, appeared in his palm.
"The Crimson Flame Jade is the betrothal gift from back then. I am taking it back!" Lu Pan looked calmly at Nalan Mingyue. "The marriage certificate I hold will be destroyed."
Nalan Mingyue watched as Lu Pan calmly agreed to her breaking off the engagement, and she felt a moment of distraction.
Her heart felt not the expected relief, but a strange, indescribable feeling, as if something precious had slipped through her fingers.
"That's great, Major General! You finally don't have to marry this poor, discarded son of the Lu family!"
Yanzi beamed with joy, becoming somewhat carried away.
"En?"
Lu Pan's expression turned cold at her words. "Are you seeking death?"
