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.
Xiao Zhan sat back down on the chair and looked at Nalan Yanran with an indifferent expression. He said in a hoarse voice,"Niece Nalan, you have such boldness. Nalan Su having a daughter like you is really enviable!”
Smiling indifferently, Nalan Yanran gently said,"Uncle Xiao."
"Ke ke, just call me clan leader Xiao. I am not worthy of the title of uncle. You are the future sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. In the future, you will also be a famous person on the Dou Qi continent. My Yan Er is merely a person with mediocre talent and is indeed not worthy of you!”Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said coldly.
"Uncle Xiao, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to cancel the engagement.”Seeing that the fire was about right, Nalan Yanran also stopped teasing the Xiao Family members.
"What? You, you, you're not here for the engagement.”Xiao Zhan was stunned and said with a stiff expression.
"Ke ke, that's right. Back then, the marriage was personally proposed by the two old masters. Now that they have not spoken to cancel it, no one dares to cancel this marriage. Otherwise, it would be disobeying the elders! Moreover, our Nalan family is founded on integrity. Naturally, we won't do such a thing that breaks our promise!”Nalan Yanran tilted her head slightly and smiled at Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
"Haha, Uncle Xiao thought too much and didn't ask clearly. Then what did Yun Yun Daren mean by this matter?”Although it was a bit sudden, Xiao Zhan immediately reacted.
"Uncle Xiao, just call me Yanran. Before the sect master's successor becomes the official sect master, he can't have any entanglements with men. This rule was mainly set by the previous Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master, Grandmaster Yun Shan, because he was worried that my master would be disturbed by the love between a man and a woman and would delay his training.”
"My teacher is also aware of my marriage. I have come here to invite third young master Xiao to make a trip to the Misty Cloud Sect three years later. My teacher wants to test him! If Third Young Master Xiao could achieve something in three years and satisfy his master, he would be able to do it. Master agreed to let me enter the Misty Cloud Sect's Secret Realm to train while maintaining the engagement. If I am able to come out of it, I will be able to become a Dou Huang class expert! Of course, if Third Young Master Xiao is unable to satisfy my master, I will also give up my position as the Misty Cloud Sect's Young Sect Leader and marry him!”Nalan Yanran explained to Xiao Zhan gently and politely.
"Dou Huang!"
"Good heavens!"
"It is too amazing. It is unexpected that the Misty Cloud Sect still has such a place!”
The Xiao family members in the hall immediately started discussing!
"Yanran! Why did it have to wait three years? Did Master Nalan know about this?”Xiao Zhan was obviously shocked by Nalan Yanran's words, but he immediately reacted. He asked in return!
"My grandfather doesn't know about this, and I didn't dare to tell him that I was going to the trial. My grandfather originally wanted me to marry into the Xiao family after my coming-of-age ceremony next year. However, grandfather's body is heavily infected and has been bedridden for many years. His body is getting worse and worse. If I am unable to maintain my position as the Misty Cloud Sect's Young Sect Leader, I am afraid that the Nalan clan will encounter an accident. Hence, we have a three year agreement.”Nalan Yanran's expression clearly became gloomy.
"Isn't Master Nalan a Dou Wang class expert? How did he get so sick? "What kind of illness could bedridden a Dou Wang class expert for so many years?" Xiao Zhan asked in shock.
"My grandfather is old, and his health is naturally not as good as before. Moreover, even Uncle Gu He can't cure grandfather's illness. If Third Young Master Xiao is unable to pass the test three years later, I hope Uncle Xiao can agree to let the Nalan Clan hold the wedding. Grandpa's body could no longer travel back and forth!”Seeing Nalan Yanran's dejected expression, everyone in the hall could not help but feel heartache!
"Cough, Yanran, you also know about Yan 'er's situation! How could he pass Lady Yun Yun's test in these three years!”When Xiao Zhan thought of Xiao Yan's situation, he immediately felt a little awkward.
"I know that this is a little difficult for you. Actually, my current strength is enough to participate in the trial, but Master refused to agree, so we have this three-year agreement.”Nalan Yanran lowered her head dejectedly. Her fingers were tightly twisted together.
"Oh! Why was that Yun Yun Daren unwilling to agree? Could it be because of your engagement?”Xiao Zhan asked curiously.
"Cough, let me say this! The Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Leader's training ground was called the Life and Death Realm. One could only enter if one reached the Da Dou Shi level. Although Yanran's talent was very high, her strength had also reached the two star Da Dou Shi level. However, the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master Yun Yun was the only one who entered the life and death situation before the age of thirty and came out alive! Originally, we wanted Yanran to break off the engagement and cultivate in peace before going in. However, Yanran would rather give up the position of Young Sect Master than agree to the annulment of the engagement. In addition, Master Nalan's health was getting worse and worse. Yanran wanted to enter the Life and Death Realm to accept the trial inheritance.
Sigh! We watched Yanran grow up. She's been obedient since she was young. "As elders, we naturally can't let him take the risk. That's why we used this marriage agreement to come to the Xiao family and set a three-year agreement! Moreover, we never thought that Xiao Yan would be able to pass the test. Even if Yanran were to get married, it would still be better than taking the risk!”Without waiting for Nalan Yanran to speak, Ge Ye rushed to explain.
"What? Yanran is already a two star Da Dou Shi? This, Yan 'er, are you willing to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to accept the test three years later?”Because Nalan Yanran did not wear a badge that proved her strength, Xiao Zhan did not know Nalan Yanran's strength. Although he was shocked by Nalan Yanran's strength, he quickly reacted and asked Xiao Yan who was sitting in the corner with some hesitation.
Xiao Yan was also somewhat at a loss. When Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun Er were chatting softly in the corner earlier, he had already thought that Nalan Yanran was here to break off the engagement. He was originally a little angry, but he did not expect that things would take a turn for the better. Seeing Nalan Yanran's dejected expression and the regretful eyes that Ge Ye and the other elders cast over, as if saying that a fresh flower was stuck in cow dung, he could not help but answer,"Father, three years later, Yan Er is willing to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to accept the test!”
"Hehe, thank you for your understanding, Third Young Master Xiao. If I enter the Life and Death Realm to train in three years, I don't know when I will be able to come out. If Third Young Master Xiao has someone he likes, you can also take her into your room.”After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran first thanked him. After which, she looked at the dark-faced Xiao Xun Er and her incarnation Xiao Mei, who had a hostile expression from the beginning, with a smile that was not a smile.
"Cough cough!" Even though Xiao Yan had lived two lives, he still felt a little unable to endure when he heard these words. Especially after Nalan Yanran finished speaking, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun 'er looked at him with strange gazes, as well as the envious expressions of everyone in the hall, including his father. His young and tender handsome face flushed red.
"Haha, Yanran, Elder Ge, since you have finished speaking and your goal has been achieved, I will arrange a place for the three of you to stay. Yanran rarely comes here and will stay for a few days before leaving!”Seeing that the matter had been settled, Xiao Zhan immediately laughed and arranged a place for Nalan Yanran to stay!
"I'll listen to Uncle Xiao's arrangements!" Nalan Yanran naturally would not let go of this opportunity to gain a favorable impression.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was still a little muddle-headed. This was especially so under the complicated gazes that everyone was looking at him with. He left the hall in a somewhat absent-minded manner.
Seeing Xiao Yan leave, Xiao Xun Er also followed him out. Nalan Yanran knew that Yao Lao would appear according to the original story. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't let Xiao Mei follow him. Instead, he followed behind him.
"After rushing for such a long time, Yanran is a little tired. I won't trouble Uncle Xiao!”After arranging the accommodation, Nalan Yanran respectfully bowed to Xiao Zhan, indicating that she wanted to rest.
"Haha, then Yanran should rest first. Uncle Xiao will leave first. Let Xiao Yan accompany you around Wu Tan City for the next two days!”Seeing that Nalan Yanran wanted to rest, Xiao Zhan didn't say anything more. He turned around and was about to leave. However, when he turned around, he saw Xiao Mei standing there with her eyes fixed on Nalan Yanran. It was obvious that she wanted to stay and talk. He immediately frowned and felt a headache.
"Xiao Mei, let's go, let's go, it's time for your sister Yanran to rest!”Although Nalan Yanran had a magnanimous appearance just now, Xiao Zhan was not sure that the two of them would get along well after he left. Everyone in the Xiao family knew what Xiao Mei meant to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Mei didn't say anything and kept staring at Nalan Yanran.
"Hehe, Uncle Xiao, since this sister Xiao Mei has something to say, then stay!”Nalan Yanran looked back at Xiao Zhan with a faint smile.
"Cough, in that case, Uncle Xiao will leave first. You guys, cough, get along well and don't quarrel.”After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he left in a sorry state.
