"I'm here for the three-year agreement." A plain and simple voice slowly drifted over the enormous open ground, causing the healing aura that permeated the open ground to become slightly turbulent and chaotic.
Countless Misty Cloud Sect's disciples in the arena carried different emotions as they looked at the black-robed, young man at the stone steps. They were not unfamiliar with this young man called Xiao Yan. His relationship with Nalan Yanran had caused him to become the topic of conversation for many Misty Cloud Sect's disciples. Of course, most people would carry some disdain and ridicule each time this name was mentioned. A disciple of a small clan…Even wanting to marry Nalan Yanran, who had a status as noble as a princess in the Misty Cloud Sect, undoubtedly appeared to be overestimating their own abilities in their eyes. This was especially so after the three year agreement had spread throughout the sect. This kind of ridicule had become much denser. Of course, the ridicule here naturally did not lack some kind of jealousy.
Being the high and unattainable Young Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, countless Misty Cloud disciples viewed her as a goddess in their hearts. When they met on a normal day, they would always face that exquisite face that maintained an indifferent and otherworldly appearance. Anyone who wanted to come into contact with her would return in failure. Xiao Yan, this man who had almost become Nalan Yanran's husband, was naturally extremely easy to receive some abnormal jealousy.
Jealousy coupled with some rumors caused these Misty Cloud Sect disciples to naturally have a very bad impression of Xiao Yan, whom they had never met before. Most of them would belittle Xiao Yan as much as they could during their conversation. It was as though they would not stop until they said that Xiao Yan was worthless.
However, some of the smarter disciples felt a little awe-inspiring in their hearts after they abandoned those negative emotions as they watched the young man who still maintained a calm and composed manner despite facing the combined force of nearly a thousand Misty Cloud Sect disciples. This indifferent manner was not something that the trash of the Xiao clan that their senior and junior brothers usually spoke of could display.
Nalan Yanran's bright eyes stared intently at the silver-haired, purple-eyed youth sitting on a stool not far away. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She looked at the woman beside him and felt uncomfortable.
Nalan Yanran slowly stood up. Her lovely body was like a proud snow lotus. Her bright eyes stared at Xiao Yan. Her voice was as calm as ever.
"Is that the little fellow from the Xiao clan? Didn't they say that he was a good-for-nothing who couldn't store battle energy?”Jia Xing Tian looked at Xiao Yan from the enormous tree. There was a couple of surprise in his eyes as he laughed softly,"Ke ke, but looking at his current bearing, it does not seem like he is forcefully pretending to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Moreover, even if he is pretending, being able to maintain such calmness in the presence of those old fellows from the Misty Cloud Sect who have specially formed an overall aura is not something that an ordinary person can do.”
"Hmm? Who was that young man? Jia Xing Tian looked at Long Yi Xuan and asked Fa Ma.
"Hmm? It's that young man who took the test at our place the last time. I can't see through him, but he's not a simple person. He looks even more powerful than that Xiao Yan. The people around him give me invisible pressure. It's better for us not to provoke him. Fa Ma said in a deep voice.
"What grade is it? Jia Xing Tian asked.
"Hehe, I was surprised at that time. He already felt that he wasn't human anymore. He was actually a Rank-7.”Fa Ma laughed bitterly.
"Tsk tsk, a tier 7 is equivalent to a Dou Zong. No one in the Jia Ma Empire can afford to provoke him. The current era is already the young people's.”Jia Xing Tian laughed.
After Nalan Yanran stood up, the ten plus white-robed elders above her slowly opened their eyes. Their gazes were thrown toward the black-robed, young man on the stone steps. They exchanged glances with each other and felt a little surprised. The doubt in their hearts was no different from Nalan Jie's group. No matter how one looked at the current Xiao Yan, they could not tell that he was the trash of the Xiao clan who had been ridiculed back then.
"You are Xiao Yan from the Xiao clan?" The white-robed old man in the middle raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan. A long while later, he slowly opened his mouth and spoke.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the white-robed old man. He realized that his position in the Misty Cloud Sect should be quite high. This was because the surrounding elders who were wearing similar clothes had all maintained their silence ever since he had spoken.
"I am the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Leng.
Xiao Yan had yet to reply when the old man continued,"Today, the sect leader has yet to return. Therefore, the three year agreement will be hosted by the old me. The purpose of this competition is to spar.
"Life and death are up to fate." A soft voice suddenly sounded and interrupted Yun Leng's words.
The gazes within the stadium followed the voice and moved. Finally, they paused on the black-robed, young man who had been quiet. Each of their expressions were a little different. Many people did not expect Xiao Yan to say such words. It should be known that his opponent was the successor of the Misty Cloud Sect who was being groomed with great importance.
"Ke ke, you are a bold little fellow. Some of the old fellows with strange temperaments on the tree involuntarily laughed. There were even some who gave Xiao Yan a thumbs up.
Nalan Yanran gently raised her eyes and stared at the black-robed, young man. Her dark-black eyes seemed to be beating with a ripple that was difficult to hide. Was it hatred?
After a while, she nodded slightly and said in a cold voice,"Up to you."
Hearing Nalan Yanran's reply, Yun Leng knit his brows slightly. Xiao Yan's sudden interruption caused this First Elder, who had quite a high status in the Misty Cloud Sect, to feel a little unhappy. He also knew that Xiao Yan had long shed the name of trash. However, Nalan Yanran's talent was similarly not low. Moreover, with the nurturing of the Misty Cloud Sect, the improvement of her strength could be said to be extremely fast. However, if they were to really fight, Yun Leng did not think highly of Xiao Yan.
"Young man, leave a line in everything. However, since you want to make such a request, then it's up to you. Life and death are up to fate.”Yun Leng waved his hand and spoke in a faint voice.
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth was lifted into an arc. His heart involuntarily wanted to laugh coldly. There was always a way out. Back then, Nalan Yanran had been extremely ruthless. Was there anyone who would ask her to leave a way out?
Xiao Yan's hand slowly grabbed the ruler's hilt. He suddenly pulled it and the Heavy Xuan Ruler carried a pressuring wind sound as it was pointed at the ground. The wind from the ruler's body blew the dust on the ground into the air. A faint green-colored Dou Qi lingered on the surface of his body. Xiao Yan stared at Nalan Yanran,"I have arrived at the three year agreement. Today, let's settle our past grudges. The humiliation that you gave my Xiao clan back then will be returned today.
She extended her jade-like hand and an emerald storage ring on her finger flashed. A long pale-green longsword appeared in a flash. The blade of the sword was tilted and sunlight scattered, reflecting a dense coldness.
Nalan Yanran's pretty eyes exchanged glances with that pair of dark-black eyes. She sighed somewhat regretfully and said faintly,"I will make my own decisions regarding my own marriage. Even though it has been three years, I do not believe that I did anything wrong back then. I have the right to choose my own fate. Perhaps I did something inappropriate when I made my choice, but if time were to turn back, I think I would still be like this.”
"Inappropriate behavior. Yan laughed softly. Do you want to shirk away your unreasonable actions by saying that your actions are inappropriate? Wasn't this a little too simple?
Xiao Yan's expression gradually returned to being indifferent. The hand that he used to hold the ruler's hilt became increasingly tighter. A moment later, his foot suddenly took a step forward. The hard green stone slab where he landed actually began to spread a couple of crack lines all the way to the center of his foot. Turbulent and surging green-colored Dou Qi mixed with some green-colored flame seedlings surged from the surface of Xiao Yan's body.
"Ke ke, this is really surprising. It is really unexpected that this Xiao Yan can improve so quickly even without the 'Green Lotus Core Flame'. Did I bring about the butterfly effect? Long Yixuan thought to himself.
