Chapter 50: Fighting Qi into Horse (bushi)

In the early morning, the red sun rises.

Xiao Yuan, dressed in a neat white suit and wearing a low-level storage ring on his hand, walked out of the Xiao family's gate.

"Sister Xiao Yu."

Looking at Xiao Yu, who was wearing a red dress and light makeup at the door, Xiao Yuan walked forward with a smile.

"Take care of yourself out there."

Xiao Yu's eyes were slightly red. She reached out to tidy up Xiao Yuan's clothes, her voice trembling a little.

"Don't worry, I will."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan took a step forward and took Xiao Yu into his arms.

Xiao Yu's delicate body trembled, and then she reached out to hug Xiao Yuan, burying her face in Xiao Yuan's shoulder.

"I'm just going to train for a few months. I'll be back. Don't be so sad!"

Xiao Yuan patted Xiao Yu's back gently and comforted her softly.

"It's all Nalan Yanran's fault. You could have stayed in the family to practice, and then entered Canaan College step by step."

Xiao Yu muttered in a low voice.

"Haha, it doesn't really matter to her. In a year, she won't be my opponent, but the family needs my strength to grow and develop. The stronger I am, the stronger the family will be. There is one thing that Nalan Yanran is right about. In the Douqi Continent, only the strong have the right to speak and can win the respect of others."

Xiao Yuan explained with a faint smile, and then said:

"This is how the world is, but fortunately, I have the potential to become a strong person, which is luckier than most people, so I must work hard."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's somewhat heavy words, Xiao Yu was also silent. Xiao Yuan's maturity really made her feel distressed.

He had just passed his coming-of-age ceremony, but he had to shoulder the responsibility of the family's future.

"If you're tired, come back to me."

Xiao Yu raised his head and whispered in Xiao Yuan's ear.

"Ah."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Yuan's response, Xiao Yu finally let go of his arm.

Xiao Yuan also opened his arms, waved with a smile, and then turned and left.

The early morning sunlight made Xiao Yuan's shadow very long, but no matter how long a shadow is, it will gradually become shorter as time goes by until it disappears.

Xiao Yu, who watched Xiao Yuan leave, raised the back of his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, turned around and walked back to his family.

She also needs to practice harder.

Imperial capital, Nalan Mansion.

Nalan Su dodged his father Nalan Jie behind him with a look of despair on his face.

There was an extremely abnormal gray-black color on Nalan Jie's furious face at this moment. He was holding a stick in his hand and chasing Nalan Su to beat him.

Nalan Su was also helpless. How could he have known that he had only led his troops to the western part of the empire for a year, but his daring daughter actually dared to privately cancel the marriage that the old man had personally arranged.

Although it was said that it didn't turn out too badly, it was only limited to Wutan City. Who in the imperial capital didn't know what Nalan Yanran was doing in the Xiao family?

But his old man Nalan Jie was very concerned about his reputation. Nalan Yanran's behavior would undoubtedly make others say that his Nalan family saw that the Xiao family's power had weakened and disdained to marry them, so they broke their promise. What was even more troublesome was that the old man had received intelligence some time ago that Xiao Yuan was not only able to practice, but also broke through to a four-star fighter in less than a year and a half. Such a terrifying talent for practice was something that even the Nalan family had to pay attention to.

There are already a lot of rumors in the imperial capital now, and the Nalan family's cancellation of the engagement has become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

This kind of gossip made Nalan Jie so angry that he was furious. If it weren't for his poor physical condition, he would have dragged his dying body to Yunlan Mountain long ago.

"Father, stop hitting me. Take care of yourself. I'm going to Yunlan Mountain right now! I'll go find Yanran and ask her about this."

Thinking of Nalan Jie's physical condition, Nalan Su did not dodge. He let the stick hit him and said hurriedly.

"What the hell! If Yanran hadn't concealed anything about the whole story of the Xiao family's trip, then the Xiao family and my Nalan family would be completely finished, you know? Yanran is still foolishly thinking that she has gotten what she wants. In fact, it's because the kid from the Xiao family is much smarter than her that she has this stupid illusion!"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie immediately became furious and yelled angrily.

"Father, isn't that too much?"

Nalan Su frowned when he heard this. He didn't believe that a teenager could have any means.

"Are you questioning me? Use your brain and think about it. If your engagement was broken off, would you be able to calm down, put on a smile and talk to the woman to minimize the loss? Until now, no one in Wutan City knows that Xiao Yuan's engagement was broken off!

But now almost everyone in the capital knows that my Nalan family is a snob. In this way, even if Yanran and Xiao Yuan ease their relationship in the future, it can only confirm the fact that my Nalan family is a snob! Do you understand?"

Nalan Jie was so angry that he blew his beard and roared.

"But at the beginning, the boy from the Xiao family was indeed unable to practice. Did you feel at ease letting Yanran commit herself to him?"

After hearing this, Nalan Su knew where the problem lay, but he still asked with a little unconvinced.

"Nonsense, whether it's realistic or not, that's not how it works! Xiao Lin and I have a life-long friendship. When Xiao Lin died, the Xiao family moved to Wutan City instead of begging me for help. This shows that they are shameless people.

Originally, the matter of breaking off the engagement could have been negotiated and some compensation given, and it wouldn't have come to this. But Yanran's move was simply a slap in the face of the Xiao family. Even if there was no verbal rift, it was because she was smart. Basically, this matter cannot be salvaged, understand?"

Nalan Jie was so angry that he slapped Nalan Su again and said while trembling all over.

"What should I do?"

Nalan Su was speechless after hearing this, and looked at his father eagerly and asked.

"How should I know? I won't live for many more years anyway. Yanran is now Yun Yun's disciple and the young master of the Yunlan Sect. I'm afraid she no longer has the Nalan family in her eyes. You are my own daughter, so you should handle it yourself!"

Nalan Jie was weak to begin with, and after he had scolded Nalan Su, he no longer had the energy to argue. He threw down his stick and left with weak steps.

"Ugh!"

Nalan Su looked at Nalan Jie's back and sighed again.

Both the old and the young are so stubborn, it’s really difficult for him to be caught in the middle!

"Come here, prepare your horses!"

Nalan Su thought about it and decided to find Nalan Yanran to ask for clarification.

He is the son-in-law of a four-star fighter.
On the other side, Xiao Yuan was still riding on horseback.

It wasn't for the purpose of transforming his fighting spirit into a horse in the future, but mainly because he didn't want to waste time on the road. However, in order to keep himself in good condition, Xiao Yuan still decided to ride a horse. Although it was not as fast as running, it did not consume fighting spirit.

In addition, he was promoted to a five-star fighter.
