The next day after the second princess visited the Chen family, old general Chen Ruilong goes to the imperial palace to talk to the emperor about breaking the marriage. It was clear towards the expression of the emperor when he receives the news of breaking the engagement that he is happy and satisfied. The emperor also didn't want to marry his genius daughter to Chen Yue, he only accepted it first because he wanted to give face to the old general. That is also the reason on why he said that the engagement can be broke if the old general wanted it.

Old general Chen Ruilong was angry towards how the emperor view his grandson. But there's nothing that he can do about it.

The news of the engagement between the second princess and Chen Yue being broken immediately circulated in the whole capital. Everyone talks about it in their homes and in the streets. All the young men who was secretly in love with the second princess rejoice when they heard the news.

"Hhmp, who does that Chen Yue think he is. Just because his family was strong doesn't mean he can get anything. It is good that the engagement between the second princess and Chen Yue is now broken. That trash doesn't deserve to be with the second princess" a certain young master from the capital said. When he first heard the news of Chen Yue and the second princess engagement, he fainted because of heartache. Now that it was broken, he was rejoicing.

"Ssshh... Don't talk to loudly about it. What would you do if someone from the Chen family heard you" another young man reprimanded his friend as he look around.

Meanwhile, while everyone in the capital was busy in their gossip. Chen Yue and Mei Yin was training in the courtyard. Chen Yue was practicing his taijutsu, while Mei Yin was practicing her sword skills.

"Young master, Young lady the old general wanted to talk to you two" Xiao Ke arrived at the courtyard and said. She was holding a tray of desserts in her hands as she walk towards them.

Chen Yue and Mei Yin pick up some desserts from the tray and eat them. After eating some of the desserts, Chen Yue asked, "What does grandfather wanted to talk about"

Xiao Ke glanced at Mei Yin before looking again at Chen Yue and said, "A messenger of the Mei family in the Flowing Water City just arrived. That's why old general wanted to see you both"

Chen Yue and Mei Yin was slightly surprised when they heard that a messenger from the Mei family came. Chen Yue glanced at Mei Yin, the Mei family in the Flowing Water City is where Mei Yin came from. And that is also the place where her parents are. That's why he know that every news from the Flowing Water City is very important. Chen Yue look at Xiao Ke and said, "Alright tell grandfather that we will be right there"

Xiao Ke nodded and bowed her head before leaving.

"Yin'er let's go" Chen Yue then hold Mei Yin's soft hands and pull her. Mei Yin just let him hold her hands as she just follow behind him with her head lowered.

Inside the study room of the old general, a middle aged man was sitting while talking with Chen Ruilong happily. When Chen Yue and Mei Yin entered the room, both old man turned with a smile.

"Uncle Sun!" Mei Yin happily called out as she run towards the middle-aged man in front of Chen Ruilong and hug him tightly. The corner of her eyes were slightly wet as tears threaten to fall from them.

"Young lady you've grown into a beautiful and fine lady" the middle-aged man Uncle Sun also hugged Mei Yin happily. It was already several years since he saw Mei Yin. Seeing that she is fine living here, he felt happy and delighted.

"Greetings Uncle Sun" after Mei Yin and Uncle Sun greeted each other. Chen Yue upped his fist towards the middle-aged man and also called him Uncle Sun. Inside his mind, since the relationship between Mei Yin and Uncle Sun seems that great, he should at least give respect to him.

"Good good good. Seeing you in person, it seems the rumors about you is false. You are not like what the rumors said about you" seeing how respectful Chen Yue was towards him, Uncle Sun nodded his head in approval. He glanced at Mei Yin who was beside him and noticed the way she looks at Chen Yue. Immediately, he realize that niece held some feelings towards this young man. 'Well the young man has a good manners and is extremely handsome. The only downside is his talent in cultivation is quite low. But that doesn't matter as his niece love the young man. That alone is enough'

"I believe the rumors about me is quite bad" Chen Yue said while laughing. Inside his mind he was thinking that those rumors about him, most of them were true. Especially the bad ones.

"Uncle Sun, why did you come here? Is there a problem in the family?" Mei Yin suddenly asked worried if something happened in the family.

Seeing the worried and anxious face of her niece, Uncle Sun laugh and ruffle her hair and said, "Nothing happened in the family, we are doing good in the Flowing Water City. Also our business there is quite great that everyone in the family is happy" Uncle Sun then shake his head and said with a helpless voice, "It's just your grandfather, he thought that you already forgot about him that's why he was making a ruckus in the family. You know that father's birthday is coming soon, I am here to escort you back in the family to attend father's birthday"

"Ah!" Mei Yin was surprised and put her hands to cover her mouth.

"Yin'er what's the matter?" Chen Yue said with a worried expression in his face. When Uncle Sun saw the expression in Chen Yue's face, he felt even more satisfied. It just means that this young man really cared for his niece.

"B...brother Chen its nothing, I am fine. It's just that...I...I forgot about grandfather's birthday is coming soon" with embarrassed expression on her face, Mei Yin said. She felt angry at herself for forgetting such an important event. Her grandfather will definitely get mad at her when he heard that his beloved granddaughter forgot about his birthday.

When Chen Yue heard Mei Yin, he couldn't help but smile and laugh. Then he turned to Uncle Sun and said, "Uncle Sun, when is grandfather Mei's birthday?"

When Uncle Sun heard that Chen Yue called his father grandfather Mei, his delight towards Chen Yue already reached the clouds. He made a decision that when he came back in the family, he will talk about proposing a marriage between his niece and Chen Yue. Uncle Sun smile widely and said to Chen Yue, "It will be the day after tomorrow"

"What! It was just right at the corner" Chen Yue then turned to Mei Yin and said, "Yin'er how can you forget about grandfather Mei's birthday. We don't have enough time to prepare some gifts"

Mei Yin almost buried her head in her chest as she lowered her head. She was feeling shameful at herself for forgetting her grandfather's birthday.

"Ha ha ha, there is no need for gifts. We just hope that you will take proper care of little Yin here" Uncle Sun laugh heartily as he patted Chen Yue on his shoulder. He then gave a meaningful look towards Chen Yue.

"How about you also come with us and attend father's birthday. I'm sure that he will be delighted if you attend his birthday. Also, if we leave now, we will probably arrive there tomorrow evening" Uncle Sun said.

"That's good, Chen Yue why don't you go with them and attend Brother Mei's birthday" Chen Ruilong then said to Uncle Sun, "Just tell brother Mei that I apologize for not attending his birthday as i have so many things to do here"

"Don't worry about that old general, I'm sure my father will understand your situation" Uncle Sun nodded his head. He knew that old general Chen were busy in handling his job in the empire.

"Then we will be going to the Flowing Water City" Chen Yue said. He was imagining what kind of people were in the Mei family where Mei Yin came from. But base from Uncle Sun's word, it seems they are great people. If not, his grandfather will not have a close relationship with them.
