Xiao Zhan could hardly suppress the anger in his heart, and the fighting spirit of a great fighting master was released. He stared at the person who came fiercely, without his previous enthusiasm and kindness. He had never expected that the person who came actually wanted to cancel the engagement!
He was so enthusiastic before...
"Ahem~" The old man in the silver robe coughed lightly, slowly stood up, and also released the Dou Qi of the Grand Dou Master level to help Nalan Yanran block Xiao Zhan's anger. He said with a slightly embarrassed look: "Head of the Xiao family, I know this is a bit difficult, but the master has already promised Nalan Yanran... to cancel the engagement for her. I hope the Xiao family can give face to the Yunlan Sect."
Although his tone was awkward, his attitude was still quite tough. With the current strength of the Yunlan Sect, there was actually no need to care about a small Xiao family. If this matter was not unreasonable, he would not even have to make this trip.
But Nalan Yanran is the direct disciple of the sect master and a young member of the Yunlan Sect, and the sect master has indeed verbally agreed to this matter.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face changed slightly, and the three elders of the Xiao family felt the same way. They all understood that the other party was using the power of the Yunlan Sect to suppress the Xiao family, and the Xiao family really did not have the ability to withstand it. The Yunlan Sect was a behemoth in the Jia Ma Empire. In comparison, the Xiao family was nothing. Even if the Yunlan Sect sent out a deacon elder, it would be enough to overwhelm the Xiao family.
Faced with the oppressive words of Yunlan Sect's deacon elder Ge Ye, Xiao Zhan wanted to explode, but reason made him restrain himself. At this moment, he represented not only Xiao Yan's father, he was also the patriarch of the Xiao family.
"I want to ask, what does this matter have to do with the Yunlan Sect!" Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the side, finally spoke. He stood up suddenly, releasing the aura of a five-star fighter, and stared coldly at Ge Ye and the girl behind him.
"My marriage with Nalan Yanran was arranged by my grandfather. Even if we want to cancel the engagement, it should be a matter between the Nalan family and the Xiao family. What does it have to do with the Yunlan Sect? Could it be that the Yunlan Sect wants to use its power to suppress others?"
"Five-star Fighter?!"
Feeling the aura of Xiao Yan, Ge Ye's expression changed slightly. He had heard of Xiao Yan's name as a genius a long time ago, but he never thought that he was such a genius. At the age of fifteen, he already had the level of a five-star fighter. Even Nalan Yanran could not match this talent.
For a moment, Ge Ye felt bitter. He was just a deacon elder in charge of external affairs of Yunlan Sect, a position for retirement. He came here with Nalan Yanran this time just to do Nalan Yanran a favor. In this way, if the other party became the leader of Yunlan Sect in the future, he might be able to climb up.
But offending a genius like Xiao Yan doesn't seem to be something worth being happy about.
Nalan Yanran is about the same age as Xiao Yan, and her appearance is even more delicate and beautiful than Xiao Mei and the like. She has a delicate and cold temperament, and there is a sense of superiority between her brows. She just frowned at Xiao Yan's strength and did not care too much, because she is absolutely sure that she can catch up with him, and even surpass him in the future.
The path of cultivation is not about speed. Some people cultivate quickly in the early stages, but become mediocre in the later stages, while others accumulate knowledge over time and then achieve great success.
She looked into Xiao Yan's icy eyes. Her cold and beautiful eyes showed no sign of weakness. She was as proud as a phoenix. She raised her fair chin and said in a delicate voice, "I am the young master of the Yun Lan Sect. In the future, I will inherit the Yun Lan Sect from my teacher and become the master of the Yun Lan Sect. Naturally, I cannot marry anyone. I hope you can understand!"
Although Xiao Yan is a genius, he is not worthy of Nalan Yanran's bowing to him, let alone making her heart beat. After all, the Douqi Continent is too big, and there are many people who are more talented than Xiao Yan.
She had seen a true genius when she was young!
In comparison, Xiao Yan's reputation as a genius is nothing more than that.
Even Nalan Yanran herself was confident that she could catch up with the other party. It wouldn't take too long. Within three years at most, she would be able to crush Xiao Yan under her feet!
Understand your mother... Xiao Yan cursed in his heart. If Nalan Yanran had negotiated with him in private, he would never be so furious. He would even directly agree to the other party and cooperate with the other party to cancel the engagement. However, the other party entered the Xiao family openly and broke off the engagement with his father in front of everyone in the Xiao family. She even used the name of the Yunlan Sect to oppress his father. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Xiao family and made his father lose all face!
If it were him, he wouldn't care, but he couldn't let his father be humiliated!
“You are the same age as me, but you only have the strength of a three-star fighter. With such talent, you can actually become the young master of the Yunlan Sect. It seems that it was a wise choice for me not to join the Yunlan Sect!” Xiao Yan sneered and launched a verbal attack.
"You..." Nalan Yanran's face turned blue with anger. She stamped her feet and angrily retorted, "What do you know, a country boy? If it weren't for the teacher spending several years to nourish my body, how could I be worse than you!"
"I, Xiao Yan, do not need to rely on others, and I will not be like you who only relies on the power of others!" Xiao Yan snorted and said disdainfully.
"I won't argue with you. Do you agree to cancel the engagement today?" Nalan Yanran was a little impatient. She didn't like arguing with anyone, especially with the aggressive young man in front of her.
"I don't accept your breaking off the engagement!" Xiao Yan took a deep breath, stared at Nalan Yanran, and said coldly: "If you want to end this marriage, you can, but only I, Xiao Yan, can divorce you!!"
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "You want to divorce me?"
She was the young master of the Yunlan Sect, the apple of everyone's eye, but she was divorced by a young man from a small family. If this matter were to be reported back to the imperial capital, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause, even the Yunlan Sect would be in an uproar.
"You came to my Xiao family in person today to cancel the engagement. Don't you know how embarrassed this will be for the Xiao family? Since you look down on me, Xiao Yan, and I, Xiao Yan, also look down on you, I will send you a letter of divorce today. From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, and I, Xiao Yan, will have nothing to do with each other anymore!" After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he strode to the table beside him, ready to send him a letter of divorce to put an end to the matter once and for all.
"What qualifications do you have to divorce me? The decision to break off the engagement was made by my teacher, the leader of the Yunlan Sect. How dare you disobey the order of the leader of the Yunlan Sect!" Nalan Yanran seemed to have lost her mind due to anger, and even brought up her teacher directly. She had been spoiled by her teacher since she was a child, and had never suffered any hardship or grievances. How could she tolerate being divorced and leaving a stain on her!
The expressions of Ge Ye, Xiao Zhan and the others changed. With Nalan Yanran's identity, her words to some extent represented the opinions of the Yunlan Sect. If Xiao Yan really wrote this divorce letter today, it would undoubtedly mean he would be at odds with the Yunlan Sect.
The Xiao family undoubtedly cannot afford it.
"This woman is so arrogant!" Gu Xun'er whispered at the window.
Yao Yan smiled and found the drama in front of him very interesting. Xiao Yan's pen, which was about to fall, stopped immediately after hearing Nalan Yanran's words. Obviously, the three words "Yunlan Sect" were too heavy for the Xiao family. Even if Xiao Yan was no longer rational, he knew that the Xiao family could not afford to offend the Yunlan Sect.
He did not forget to tease Gu Xun'er, leaned over slightly, and blew a breath of hot air into her ear: "She is indeed not as sensible as my Xun'er~"
Gu Xun'er's whole body trembled, and an inexplicable electric current swept through her body. She didn't quite understand what was going on, but she knew that she couldn't get too close to the man. She instinctively wanted to pull away, but found that her hand had been firmly grasped by the man in front of her, and she couldn't hide at all.
"Who is your family? I didn't agree to our marriage... Be careful that I will end up like her in the future and go to your Soul Clan to break off the engagement!" She pursed her moist lips, snorted, and replied without any harm.
There was no threat in her at all, only the naivety and innocence that a young girl should have.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yan looked Gu Xun'er up and down.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xun'er felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Yao Yan. She frowned slightly and asked.
"You are so cute." Yao Yan pondered for a moment and said very tactfully.
Gu Xun'er's breath was choked. She felt that Yao Yan was not praising her, but she couldn't find any evidence. She felt inexplicably angry and turned her head away angrily. She decided to ignore this annoying fiancé. As for whether she would cancel the engagement in the future... it seemed that she really couldn't.
Does the other person mean to say that I am stupid?
She realized belatedly what Yao Yan meant by his words and was immediately furious. Seeing that Yao Yan's attention was once again drawn to the house, she quietly reached over with her little hand and pinched the little flesh on his waist hard.
Then he suddenly withdrew his hand, pretending nothing had happened, and watched the "big show" in the house quietly and obediently!
However, he still secretly glanced at Yao Yan, wanting to see if the other person felt any pain.
As a result, Yao Yan did not react at all. At the same time, Gu Xun'er also realized that she had made a stupid mistake. The other party was about to reach the level of a Fighting Saint. How could she possibly hurt him? At this moment, the idea of practicing hard became stronger.
"What a thick skin~" Gu Xun'er muttered softly, not sure whether she was referring to Yao Yan's face or the skin on his body.
"I'm a man, so my skin is naturally not as tender as Xun'er's~" Yao Yan slid his fingers lightly across the back of Xun'er's hand, saying as a matter of course.
Gu Xun'er felt an electric current sweeping through her body. Her fair face flushed. She instinctively pulled her hand away, but she couldn't break free. She could only give up, not daring to do anything extra. She found that the more she talked and did, the more she fell into trouble, as if she was the one who suffered.
It seems that she is really no match for Yao Yan, in every sense of the word!
Seems to be controlled.
……
Xiao family, in the hall.
Xiao Yan paused with the pen in his hand, and slowly turned his head to look at Nalan Yanran, with a calm expression, as if all emotions were suppressed. The other party was like a proud peacock, with her snow-white chin raised, looking at Xiao Yan who was threatened by her words, and snorted: "This is the gap between you and me, but as long as you agree to cancel the engagement, I can give you some compensation, and even through Yunlan Sect, I can give the Xiao family some resources!"
After saying this, she waited for Xiao Yan's reply proudly, as if she had given alms.
"Okay, I promise you to break off the engagement!" Xiao Yan responded calmly, without a trace of anger, and his calmness was a little scary. (End of this chapter)
