"You...you agreed?!" Nalan Yanran was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that the young man who was so excited before would agree so calmly at this moment. She was a little confused for a moment, and she didn't understand what was going on in Xiao Yan's mind.
However, what Xiao Yan was thinking seemed to have nothing to do with her. As long as the engagement could be cancelled, everything else was secondary to her.
Having achieved her goal, Nalan Yanran's attitude softened a bit. She was not the kind of person who made unreasonable demands. It was just that as it concerned her future marriage, she was inevitably a little excited. That was why she brought the teacher out to achieve her goal as soon as possible.
People are like this. When their own interests are involved, they always lose some rationality and calmness.
“Do I have any other choice except to agree? Just as you said, you, Nalan Yanran, are the young master of the Yunlan Sect, and my teacher is the master of the Yunlan Sect. I, Xiao Yan, am just an unknown person in a remote city. I am indeed not worthy of you!” Xiao Yan said in a low voice with an extremely cold look in his eyes.
The hand hidden in the sleeve was clenched tightly, the nails almost digging into the flesh, using the pain to numb the anger in his heart. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and beat the woman in front of him to death!
He will remember today's humiliation in his heart, and he will make Nalan Yanran and Yunlan Sect pay the price in the future!
He is still young and needs time to grow up.
Even if not for himself, he has to consider the Xiao family!
"I'm sorry, these words may hurt your self-esteem, but it is the truth after all." Nalan Yanran was silent for a while, her cold eyes showed a little more apology, and she said softly to Xiao Yan, "There is no future between you and me. I may have acted inappropriately when I came to the Xiao family today, but it is related to my own future, I can't compromise. If you are willing, I can compensate you and the Xiao family."
Nalan Yanran, how long do you want to insult me, Xiao Yan... Xiao Yan laughed in anger, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and said with a somewhat ferocious look: "Enough, from now on, you, Nalan Yanran, and I, Xiao Yan, have nothing to do with each other, and the marriage contract is over... You and your people can leave! Don't force me to kill you here!! "
His expression at the moment was quite ferocious, and he was obviously on the verge of exploding.
What Nalan Yanran did today almost trampled on Xiao Yan's dignity, and even the Xiao family and his father were insulted because of it. If it weren't for the three words "Yunlan Sect" that were suppressing him, he would have even thought of fighting to the death.
"Yan'er!" Xiao Zhan flashed forward and stretched out his hands to grab Xiao Yan's body, fearing that he would do something excessive impulsive. But looking at the slightly trembling body of his third son, he couldn't help but feel self-blame and heartache in his eyes.
Nalan Yanran was also frightened by Xiao Yan's expression and couldn't help but take a step back. She didn't know how excessive what she had done today was, but when she saw Xiao Yan's expression at the moment, she realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, Ge Ye also stepped forward to protect Nalan Yanran behind him, looking at the ferocious-looking young man, frowning slightly. He knew that Nalan Yanran had found an enemy for him. The hatred in youth was the most difficult to erase, especially this kind of unforgettable humiliation. If the other party had no talent, it would be fine, but Xiao Yan's talent... This matter might have to be reported to the sect master, it was beyond the scope of his handling.
"Three of you, our goal has been achieved, you can leave!" Xiao Zhan protected Xiao Yan behind him and stared coldly at Nalan Yanran and the others.
"Uncle Xiao, Yanran might have done something wrong today. I apologize to you here. If you are free in the future, please come to the Nalan family as a guest!" Nalan Yanran bowed to the indifferent Xiao Zhan, and then left with Ge Ye and another young man under the gaze of everyone.
It was not until Nalan Yanran walked out of the living room that Xiao Yan knelt on his knees, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at his father and said slowly, "Father, today the Xiao family was humiliated because of Xiao Yan. One day, I, Xiao Yan, will pay back today's humiliation a hundred times a thousand times!"
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan quickly reached out and pulled Xiao Yan up, saying with heartache: "It is your father who is sorry for you! If the Xiao family..."
He didn't say anything else in the end. If his father had not disappeared that year, perhaps Xiao Yan would not have to suffer such grievances at this age. After all, all this was due to the incompetence of the Xiao family. Perhaps he should have directly broken off the engagement with the Nalan family.
He should have known and should have done so, but he always felt that Xiao Yan had excellent talent and held some hope that perhaps Xiao Yan could combine with Nalan Yanran. In this way, Xiao Yan would have a great help in the future. But now, this help is gone, and instead there is an enemy.
After all, it was because he, as a father, was not thoughtful enough.
“No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!” Xiao Zhan held Xiao Yan in his arms, his tiger eyes scanning the entire place, and issued an order, “If I find out who spread the news, I will expel that person from the Xiao family!”
……
Yao Yan outside the window has already pulled Gu Xun'er away. The drama is over. The plot has changed a lot from the original novel, and there is even no three-year agreement. But the more so, the more exciting the future will be. Once Xiao Yan has enough strength, he will definitely take revenge on Nalan Yanran.
The hatred of young people is always the most unforgettable. The adults in the world may consider the gains and losses, but young people do not. They are hot-blooded and do not care about anything.
I just don't know whether the Yunlan Sect will give Xiao Yan a chance to grow.
Nalan Yanran would not do anything, but the old man beside her might not. Once this matter was passed up, the people below would handle the matter without even needing to reach the ears of Yun Yun and others. Xiao Yan was indeed almost a patient person. If it were him, he would definitely not say anything about killing Nalan Yanran, and he would even accept the compensation she gave him. If he did not have enough strength, he would endure it and even kneel down to others!
Maybe this is the difference between adults and teenagers.
"Flowers bloom once, but people never become young again~" Yao Yan sighed in his heart, as if reminiscing about his lost youth. Then he looked down at Gu Xun'er who was also in deep thought, and smiled, "What are you thinking about? So serious~"
"Didn't you just say that you had an acquaintance? I'm a little curious, who is the acquaintance you are talking about? Could it be Nalan Yanran?" Gu Xun'er looked at Yao Yan with a little light in her elegant eyes and asked.
There was no one else in the room just now. As for the deacons and elders of the Yunlan Sect and the young man, she felt that Yao Yan would not have any interaction with them. The remaining candidates were obvious, which made her suspicious.
Could it be that her fiancé is also related to Xiao Yan's fiancée? !
To be honest, when a woman is grabbing that thing, her IQ instantly soars.
"Well, I met her once when she was young. I have some friendship with her teacher." Yao Yan didn't even think about it, and his expression didn't change. He explained very naturally: "I didn't expect that this little girl was actually engaged to Xiao Yan."
"Little girl~She is a few months older than me. According to what you said, am I also a little girl in your mind?" Gu Xun'er blinked her eyes, her cold tone carrying a hint of questioning.
"If I tell you that I raise you as my daughter, will you be angry?" Yao Yan pretended to be silent and asked seriously.
"Then go and talk to my father!" Gu Xun'er rolled her eyes at Yao Yan and said angrily.
I just want you to call me daddy… Yao Yan muttered mischievously in his heart, but he couldn’t say it out loud in case Gu Yuan eavesdropped. He slapped himself secretly and smiled. He took Gu Xun’er’s hand and walked towards her courtyard. He let go of her hand when they were near the door.
"I'll take you to the lake tomorrow."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I may not be free~" Gu Xun'er regretted it at the last minute, and then ran into her own courtyard like a nimble butterfly. He watched Gu Xun'er disappear before turning around and walking into his room, intending to continue to deduce the skills, which was one of the most important things for Yao Yan in the next few years.
Gu Xun'er walked into the courtyard but did not return to the house immediately. Instead, she secretly looked at Yao Yan's departing back. Then she glanced at the chain on her wrist. There was a different color in her eyes. She seemed to have thought of something interesting and chuckled.
"Miss doesn't seem to hate him?" Aunt Hua's figure emerged from behind Gu Xun'er. She looked at Gu Xun'er's expression, frowned slightly, and asked.
"He's quite interesting~" Gu Xun'er smiled and said softly.
"Most people of the Soul Clan have extreme personalities and behave in a despicable way... Miss, you need to be cautious when dealing with them to avoid being deceived." Aunt Hua reminded her. It was not that she said bad things about Yao Yan, but the Soul Clan had a long history of bad deeds. They didn't like to do anything that had to do with others, and their reputation was extremely bad.
Gu Xun'er's cold eyes moved slightly, her smile faded, and she nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. At the same time, she said, "Aunt Hua, go to Yunlan Sect and warn them not to be too overbearing."
"Because of what happened today?" Aunt Hua was stunned, and then she understood what Gu Xun'er meant.
"The Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan have a history. Now that the Xiao Clan has fallen to this point, we can't just watch the Xiao Clan being bullied by the Yunlan Sect at will, right?" Gu Xun'er said softly, and then walked towards the house. When she was near the front of the house, she paused and said casually, "By the way, help me see if Nalan Yanran's teacher is a man or a woman."
Aunt Hua: ...
……
……
The next day, the sky was clear.
The blue sky is reflected in the water like a mirror.
A small boat glided across the calm water, creating some ripples. On the bow, a handsome young man in black was fishing with a bamboo pole, and beside him sat a beautiful girl with an elegant temperament. The girl's pair of delicate feet reached into the water and swayed gently.
Even Yao Yan couldn't help but take a glance at those delicate feet. The beauties in the world are indeed all the same. As long as they are beautiful, even their feet are so perfect, with small toes slightly curled up, which is a little cute.
"It's almost morning~" Gu Xun'er poked at the fish cage and saw that it was empty. She couldn't help but look at Yao Yan. She was curious whether Yao Yan came here to fish or to bask in the sun.
"There are not many fish in the lake." Yao Yan calmly pulled the bamboo pole and explained.
"Then what is this?" Gu Xun'er pulled Yao Yan's clothes and pointed to the school of fish following the boat on one side. She asked with a strange look. She was not blind, so she suppressed her smile and asked softly, "Are you not good at fishing?"
It turns out there are things he is not good at!
"It has nothing to do with whether I'm good or not. The main thing is that these fish are not cooperating. If they continue to be so disrespectful to me, then this saint will have no choice but to drain the water from this lake!" Yao Yan's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he said seriously.
Gu Xun'er chuckled and couldn't hold back any longer, she said with a smile: "You are almost a Dousheng, and you are still arguing with a group of fish~"
"One thing is another! The local fish are too disrespectful!" Yao Yan said angrily. The enjoyment of fishing is the thrill of catching the hook, but he didn't see a single shrimp in the whole morning, but a group of them swam next to the boat. How could he tolerate this?
"Then go down to the lake and catch them~" Gu Xun'er said with a smile.
"Okay~" Yao Yan nodded after hearing that, put away the fishing rod, and then, under Gu Xun'er's curious gaze, he took her hand and jumped into the lake. This action scared Gu Xun'er a lot, but after entering the water, the feeling of suffocation did not appear, and she didn't even feel the touch of the water.
As she opened her eyes, the world in the lake came into view. Her body seemed to be protected by an invisible film, isolating her from the lake water. She felt as if she was in the world at the bottom of the lake. A strange atmosphere surged in her heart.
This strange scene was the first time that Gu Xun'er saw it.
"Is this the power of space?" Gu Xun'er asked curiously.
"To be precise, it's the power of the strange fire!" Yao Yan raised his hand, and a ray of blue flame rose up, as blue as the sea, and as it rose, it was like rolling waves. As his strength grew, his control over the strange fire gradually deepened. Many abilities that had never been imagined in the past could now be easily achieved.
"Sea Heart Flame?" Gu Xun'er recognized this strange fire. As the little princess of the ancient clan, she naturally received a good education since childhood. She could easily know information that was difficult for outsiders to access.
"Whichever one you like, we'll eat it for lunch today," Yao Yan asked.
"Then catch the biggest one!" Gu Xun'er said with her eyes shining slightly, and then pointed to a big fish in the distance.
Yao Yan nodded, followed the direction Gu Xun'er pointed, and led her to chase after him.
"Well, then!" The girl was a little excited.
Just when he was about to catch her, Yao Yan's hand, which was supposed to be tightly clenched, suddenly loosened, and the girl was so scared that she quickly hugged his waist. He realized it later and hugged the girl's waist. She was so soft and boneless that he could even feel the purse waiting to be released~
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay!" Yao Yan hugged her and comforted her softly.
When the girl heard this, she realized that she had thrown herself into Yao Yan's arms. Her pretty face flushed immediately. Feeling the burning breath, her whole body stiffened. After a long time, she said in a weak voice, "Let...let me go!"
Yao Yan let go of the shy girl. He seemed not to notice her blushing face. He loosened her slender waist and continued to hold her hand, chasing after the fish. But the girl had no mind to catch the fish at this moment. Her brain was about to crash and she was obviously unable to hold on any longer.
It has only been two days since we first met. (End of this chapter)
