Chapter 5: The three-year agreement, Xun'er's intoxication!
"Mr. Ge Ye, you'd better take the pills back. I, Xiao Yan, will not agree to what happened today!"
The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, how can you have the right to speak here? Shut up!" The third elder's face turned black and he shouted angrily.
“Xiao Yan, please step back. I know you feel very uncomfortable, but we will be the ones in charge here and we will not let you suffer any loss!” The eldest elder of the Xiao family also said lightly.
“Three elders, if the person they broke off the engagement with today was your son or grandson, would you still say so?” Xiao Yan slowly stood up, with sarcasm on his face, and asked.
"Don't be too arrogant, Xiao Yan. For the sake of the family, if Xiao Ning's engagement is broken off, I will do the same!" Hearing this, the eldest elder of the Xiao family smiled faintly, but did not get angry. He just said slowly.
"You old bastard!" Xiao Yan was furious and cursed.
Xiao Ming watched this farce and couldn't help but find it a little funny. Sure enough, this was in line with the plot development. What the hell was going on in the original novel? How could an elder who had lived for so many years be stumped by a little ghost?
And this time without Xun'er's help, what should you do, cousin Xiao Yan? Xiao Ming rubbed his white index finger, thinking with interest.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was angry and was about to provoke the Great Elder without thinking, Xiao Zhan hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Alright Yan'er, stop talking. And Great Elder, stop talking. This is the Xiao family after all. It would be bad if outsiders laughed at it!"
Seeing that Xiao Zhan had said so, the three elders did not pursue the matter with Xiao Yan. They stroked their white beards and let the matter go.
Seeing that they finally stopped contradicting themselves, Nalan Yanran, who had been impatient for a long time, hurriedly asked.
"Xiao Yan, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yan laughed and mocked.
"Miss Nalan, I guess you definitely didn't inform Mr. Nalan about what happened today, otherwise, he wouldn't agree with you doing such an unfilial thing!"
Nalan Yanran also answered calmly.
"Grandpa didn't agree, but this is what I want! I don't really agree with this arranged marriage, and I don't like you, so I want to break off the engagement. Whatever compensation you want, I will do my best to make it up to you!"
Nalan Yanran also knew that she had not done a good job in this matter, so where she could compensate Xiao Yan, as the eldest daughter of the Nalan family and the young master of the Yunlan Sect, she would not be stingy with some resources.
But after she said this, Xiao Yan became furious again. His body began to tremble violently and his face looked extremely ferocious.
After all, Xiao Yan is a time traveler, and he cannot accept Nalan Yanran's alms-like items. Therefore, when he heard this, Xiao Yan felt that his dignity was trampled upon, and he was extremely angry!
"I... really want to kill you!" His teeth were trembling as he uttered words full of murderous intent. Looking at Nalan Yanran in front of him, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.
Seeing Xiao Yan about to take action, Xiao Ming smiled slightly and said, "It's my turn!"
Xiao Ming flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan. He grabbed his wrist and squeezed it hard, stopping his anger in time.
"Forget it, cousin Xiao Yan. What Nalan Yanran did was not very decent, but please don't forget your father!"
Xiao Ming's calm words finally made Xiao Yan regain his consciousness. You know, after his mother died, his talent disappeared, and with the arrival of Xiao Ming and the loss of Xun'er, his father Xiao Zhan was the best person to him.
Not only did he often prepare special meals for him and use his power as the head of the family, he even embezzled public funds to treat his illness. Xiao Yan knew all of this!
Xiao Yan is not Tang San. Although he was arrogant three years ago and is still arrogant and disdains to interact with ordinary people now, he is still a person who knows how to be grateful.
It's not like he would kill his father Xiao Zhan just for his own anger. Besides, he might not be able to beat Nalan Yanran...
After some thought, Xiao Yan calmed down, glanced at Xiao Ming, and said without saying anything.
"Then Xiao Ming, what solutions do you have for this problem?" Xiao Yan sneered and said indifferently.
Xiao Ming smiled slightly, not taking it seriously, and said.
"Both sides did something wrong today. Miss Nalan brought people to cancel the engagement, but she shouldn't have caused such a big fight that the whole Xiao family knew about it!"
"It is even more wrong to use force before courtesy and use force to coerce others. If this matter gets out, I think it will not only be bad for Miss Nalan, but also for the Yunlan Sect!"
"And cousin Xiao Yan shouldn't have stepped forward and started a fight with the elders, threatening Miss Nalan and causing our Xiao family to lose face. If this gets out, people will think that our Xiao family is uneducated!"
Hearing what Xiao Ming said, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that this handsome little brother in front of her would have such an opinion. He was really mature in mind. What he said was very right. It made her feel a little guilty!
Xiao Xun'er, who had been standing aside, had her beautiful eyes flash, and a smile could not help but appear on her stunning face.
Looking at the beautiful young man in front of her, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated, as if she had drunk rice wine.
Somewhat intoxicated by the young man's confident smile as he talked, Xiao Xun'er had cute dimples on her pretty cheeks.
Brother Xiao Ming, this is what I like about you: mature and reliable, yet gentle!
Nalan Yanran said tenderly.
"Then I wonder what this gentleman has to say and how he can help us solve this problem properly?"
Xiao Ming smiled calmly and gave his own plan.
"How about this? Cousin Xiao Yan and Miss Nalan make a three-year agreement. The two sides will fight. Whoever loses will be divorced. This way, it will not hurt the prestige of the clan leader, nor will it make the Xiao family lose too much face. We can still gain a foothold in Wutan City!"
"As for the dignity of you and Miss Nalan after your respective failures, I don't think there is any need to consider it, right? After all, this should be the best solution at the moment!"
"This way, you, cousin Xiao Yan, will have time to practice, and Miss Nalan will also have time to prepare. If you lose, you can only blame yourself!"
Xiao Ming spoke eloquently and delivered the speech he had prepared long ago.
After pondering for a moment, Nalan Yanran also agreed. Three years, giving Xiao Yan three years to practice was reasonable. This young man’s idea was good and could indeed be adopted.
So Nalan Yanran smiled slightly and spoke.
"Just follow what this young master says!"
"Elder Ge Ye!"
Elder Ge Ye also understood what Nalan Yanran meant. He glanced at Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan and said lightly.
"What do you think? Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, our Yunlan Sect will have no choice but to do something shameless!"
Xiao Zhan sighed lightly and asked what Xiao Yan meant.
"Yan'er, what do you say?"
"Okay, let's do as you say!"
