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

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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelany 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.
