"Crack!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand turned into powder.
"You, when did master decide?" Nalan Yanran glared at Ge Ye and said in a slightly angry voice,"Don't talk nonsense. Who wants to get engaged to that kid?”
"Yanran, don't be angry. This matter was already decided when you entered the Misty Cloud Sect. It's just that the sect leader did not mention it to you.”Ge Ye laughed." Not to mention you, even Chu Tiange doesn't know. This matter was decided by the sect master alone. Even if Master Gu is unwilling, as long as this matter spreads, he can only acquiesce."”
"Humph, mister Ge Ye, although my Yan 'er's status is not as noble as Grandmaster Gu's personal disciple, it is not something that you can do as you wish. This marriage was set by my father and old master Nalan back then. Therefore, even if you want to break off the marriage, it should be old master Nalan personally coming over and not your Misty Cloud Sect deciding on their own.”"If Yan 'er hadn't been plagued by a strange illness for the past few years, I would never have believed that the Nalan family would break off the engagement with the Xiao family," Xiao Zhan said with a bitter smile.”
The atmosphere in the hall was a little quiet. The three elders above were also shocked by Ge Ye's words. However, a moment later, they looked at Xiao Zhan with a hint of ridicule and ridicule. "Hehe, someone came to your door and forcefully canceled the engagement. Let's see if you, the clan leader, still have the prestige to manage the clan in the future!”
Some of the young men and women of the younger generation did not know about the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. However, after asking their parents beside them, their expressions immediately became interesting. Their mocking gazes were thrown toward Xiao Yan at the corner…
Looking at Xiao Zhan's extremely gloomy face, Nalan Yanran did not dare to raise her head. Her face was flushed red, and she could only bury her head. Her fingers were nervously twisted together, and she was thinking about Chu Tiange, the boy who made her hate and helpless. As for Liu Ling, his face became even paler when he saw Nalan Yanran's expression. Even his hands were trembling.
"Xiao tribe leader, I know that this request is a little difficult for you. However, please give the sect leader face and cancel the engagement…" Ge Ye helplessly sighed and said indifferently,"I'm sorry.""This matter is not something your Xiao family can stop. Otherwise, the sect leader would definitely pay a personal visit.”
"Ke ke, are you borrowing the Misty Cloud Sect to exert your might on father? Nalan Yanran, if you want to break off the engagement, just say it! Why did she make up the news of her engagement to someone else? "Now that even the name of the Misty Cloud Sect Leader has been brought up, Nalan Yanran, you really have good tactics. You are really anxious…" A furious cold smile sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Zhan clenched his fist tightly. A faint green Dou Qi gradually covered his body. Finally, it vaguely gathered on his face to form an illusory lion head.
"The Xiao family's top-notch cultivation technique: Violent Lion Rage Gang! [Level: Mystic Middle]" Seeing Xiao Zhan's reaction, Ge Ye's face immediately became serious. His body stood in front of Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran. His eagle claw-like hands suddenly curled together. Green colored Dou Qi gathered in his eagle claws, emitting a tiny but sharp Sword Qi.
Following the eruption of their auras, the faces of the weaker youths in the hall suddenly turned pale. Immediately, their chests felt a little stuffy.
Just as Xiao Zhan's breathing became more rapid, the three elders 'shouts resounded in the hall like thunder."Xiao Zhan, stop! Don't forget that you're the Xiao family's patriarch!”Xiao Zhan's body suddenly stiffened. The warrior power on his body slowly withdrew and finally disappeared.
Sitting back in his chair, Xiao Zhan looked at Nalan Yanran with an indifferent expression and said in a hoarse voice,"Niece Nalan, are you the one who wants to break off the engagement with the Xiao family? It was your sect leader who forced you to come. However, if you say that you were forced, then even if I have to use the entire Xiao family, I will never agree to your sect master marrying you to that God's Child without permission.”
Nalan Yanran's delicate body trembled slightly as she called out," Uncle Xiao…" However, she immediately thought about it and resumed her cold and arrogant identity as a young lady." Although my engagement with Chu Tiange was decided by Master on her own, I really want to break off the engagement with another young master. I'm not doing this to prove anything. I just want to control my own fate. I can make my own decisions about my marriage. No one can force me.”
"Yanran, don't spout nonsense. Do you want to go against the sect master's wishes?”Ge Ye laughed coldly,"If you are the future sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, you must agree to be engaged to the God's Child. This is your destiny, your destiny.”
"You…" Nalan Yanran stomped her foot in anger, then sighed and said to Xiao Zhan,"Uncle Xiao, please agree."
" Hehe, since I have already made it clear, you can just call me Clan Leader Xiao. I am not worthy of the title of uncle. You are the successor of the Misty Cloud Sect Master and will be a famous figure in the Dou Qi continent in the future. My Yan 'er is just a mediocre person. Naturally, he cannot compare to the noble status of the Son of God and is indeed not worthy of you…" Xiao Zhan waved his hand indifferently and said in a cold tone.
"Thank you for your understanding, Patriarch Xiao." Hearing this, Ge Ye was overjoyed. He smiled apologetically at Xiao Zhan and said," Xiao Clan Leader, the Sect Leader knows that this request today is very rude, so he specially asked me to bring something as an apology!"”
"Liu Ling, hurry up and hand it over.”Ge Ye turned around and smiled.
"Uh, yes." As soon as Liu Ling returned to his soul, he immediately took out a square sealed jade box and handed it to Ge Ye.
Once Ge Ye held it in his hand, he said laughingly,""Master Gu knows that this is a difficult matter, but for the sake of this disciple's marriage, he specially refined five qi-gathering pills to give to everyone as an apology.”
"This medicine actually came from Pill-King Gu He?”Hearing this, the three elders were moved.
Pill-King Gu He's influence within the Jia Ma Empire was extremely great. His medicinal refinement skills were mysterious and unfathomable. Countless number of experts wanted to curry favor with him, but there was no way to do so. Not only was Gu He's alchemy skill mysterious, but his strength had long advanced to the Dou Wang class and was ranked as one of the ten great experts in the Jia Ma Empire.
For such a person, the qi-gathering elixir that he gave out would probably be worth several times more.
The three elders looked at the Qi Gathering Powder in the jade box with smiles on their faces. If the clan had these five Qi Gathering Powder, they would probably be able to create another five young Dou Zhe. Thinking of this, the eyes of the elders of the Xiao Family turned a little green. They looked at each other and then at Xiao Zhan. Their meaning was obvious. They wanted Xiao Zhan to take the pill, or they would take away his position as the patriarch.
Just as the three Elders were thinking about how they should obtain the medicinal pill for their grandson, Xiao Yan glanced at his helpless father. A faint voice that suppressed his anger suddenly sounded in the hall,"Mister Ge Ye, you'd better take back the medicinal pill! We might not agree to today's matter!”
The hall suddenly became quiet. All the gazes were suddenly shifted to Xiao Yan, who had raised his delicate and pretty face in the corner.
"Xiao Yan, what right do you have to speak here? Shut up!" An elder's face sank as he shouted angrily.
"Xiao Yan, you can withdraw. I know that you are feeling uncomfortable in your heart. However, we will naturally make the decision here!”Another elder who was slightly older also said indifferently,"Regardless of whether it is the Misty Cloud Sect or Pill-King Gu He, they are not people that our Xiao clan can contend with. I hope that you can understand this.”
"Three elders, if the person they broke off the engagement with today was your son or grandson, would you still say this?”Xiao Yan slowly stood up. The corner of his mouth contained ridicule as he asked with a smile. The disdain the three Elders had for him was obvious. Therefore, there was no need for him to act cowardly in front of them.
" You…" Hearing this, the three elders were stunned. The hot-tempered third elder glared and Dou Qi slowly filled his body.
"Three Elders, Xiao Yan ge-ge is right. He is the party involved in this matter. It is best that you do not participate.”Xiao Xun 'er's light voice rang out in the hall.
Hearing Xiao Xun 'er's soft voice, the three Elders' arrogance immediately disappeared. They helplessly looked at each other and immediately nodded.
Eyeing the three dispirited Elders, Xiao Yan turned his head around and stared deeply at the smiling Xiao Xun Er. Girl, just what is your identity? How could the three elders be so afraid of him…
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Xiao Yan walked forward. He first respectfully bowed to Xiao Zhan before turning around to face Nalan Yanran. He exhaled a deep breath and calmly asked,"Miss Nalan, I would like to ask if Master Nalan has agreed to break off the engagement today?”
Nalan Yanran's heart was a little unhappy when she saw Xiao Yan suddenly step forward to stop her. Now that she heard his question, her eyebrows were slightly knit. This person seemed quite good at the beginning. No matter how one looked at it, he was also an annoying person who pestered her relentlessly. Could it be that he did not know the gap between the two of them?
She, who was blaming Xiao Yan in her heart, had never thought that her act of breaking off the engagement in public would cause Xiao Yan and his father to fall into an awkward and furious situation.
Standing up, Nalan Yanran stared at the young man who was supposed to be her husband. Her tone was calm and gentle,"Grandfather didn't agree, but this is my business and has nothing to do with him.”
"Then your sect leader betrothed you to that God's Child or Devil's Child…"
"Xiao Yan, please pay attention to the way you speak. The Son of God isn't someone you can slander.”Nalan Yanran did not wait for Xiao Yan to finish speaking when she immediately rushed to speak angrily,"Grandpa doesn't know either, but the Son of God is like a god in Yanran's heart. How can a mortal like you mock him?”
"Oh, then I'm sorry." Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly. A few threads of resentment flashed across the mountain. He laughed sinisterly,"Since the old master has not spoken, I hope you can forgive me. My father will not agree to your request. The marriage back then was personally proposed by the two old masters. Now that they have not spoken to cancel it, no one will dare to cancel this marriage. Otherwise, it will be blasphemy to the deceased elders! I don't think anyone in our clan would do such a disobedient thing, right?”Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and coldly laughed as he stared at the three Elders.
