The three elders looked at the Qi Gathering Powder in the jade box with smiles on their faces. If the clan had this Qi Gathering Powder, it was likely that they would be able to create another young Dou Zhe.
Just as the three Elders were thinking about how to obtain the medicinal pill for their grandson, the young man's faint voice that was suppressing his anger suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Mister Ge Ye, you should take back the 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 spoke in a faint voice.
"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.”The young girl's light voice rang out in the hall.
Hearing the young lady'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.”
"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.
The three Elders immediately fell silent after being pressed down by Xiao Yan's big hat. In the strict clan, this kind of crime was sufficient to cause them to lose their position as Elders.
"You…" Nalan Yanran was startled when she was interrupted by Xiao Yan. However, she was unable to find any words to refute him. She was so angry that her small face was a little green. She stomped her feet heavily and inhaled a breath of air. The temper of a young miss that had been spoiled for many years was also stirred up. She stared at the young man in front of her with some disgust."What do you want to do to break off the engagement? Did he think the compensation was too little? Alright, I can get teacher to give you another three Qi Gathering Pills. Additionally, if you are willing, I can also let you enter the Misty Cloud Sect to practice a high level Qi Method. Is this enough?”
The three Elders immediately felt their breathing become hurried when they heard the enticing conditions that jumped out of the young lady's mouth. The young people in the hall gulped a mouthful of saliva. Heavens, that was something countless people dreamed of…
After saying these conditions, Nalan Yanran lifted her snow-white chin and waited for Xiao Yan's reply in a prideful manner like a princess. From what she knew, this kind of condition was sufficient to make any young man go crazy…
This was somewhat different from what Nalan Yanran had expected. After she spoke, the body of the young man in front of her suddenly trembled intensely. He slowly raised his head. That delicate and pretty tender little face was now so ferocious that it was a little frightening…
Although Xiao Yan had been ridiculed during these three years, he had a bottom line that belonged to him in his heart. Nalan Yanran's high and mighty act of giving alms just happened to ruthlessly step on the remaining dignity that was hidden in Xiao Yan's heart.
"Ah…" Startled by the young man's ferocious appearance, the young lady hurriedly took a step back. The handsome young man beside her suddenly pulled out his long sword and stared coldly at Xiao Yan.
"I…really want to kill you!”Xiao Yan's teeth trembled as he revealed words filled with killing intent. He clenched his fist tightly and his dark black eyes burned with a furious flame.
"Yan 'er, don't be unreasonable!" Xiao Zhan, who was seated on the leader's seat, was also startled by Xiao Yan's action. He hurriedly cried out. The current Xiao clan could not afford to offend the Misty Cloud Sect.
Xiao Yan violently clenched his fist and lowered his head. A moment later, he gently raised it again. However, the ferocious terror from earlier had already turned into calmness…
Although Xiao Yan had suffered discrimination and ridicule during these three years, he had also developed a forbearance that far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
The Nalan Yanran in front of him was the favored child of the Misty Cloud Sect. If he were to really do anything to her now, it was likely that it would bring his father countless troubles. Hence, he could only endure it!
Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran suddenly felt a chill in their hearts as they looked at the young man in front of them who had suddenly withdrawn the emotions in his heart…
'It's fine if this kid remains a good-for-nothing in the future. However, if he really gains strength, he will definitely be a dangerous person…' Ge Ye thought to himself in a grave manner.
"Xiao Yan, although I do not know why my actions have caused you to be so angry, you…should cancel the engagement!”Nalan Yanran gently exhaled. Her small face sank as she calmed down from the fright earlier.
"Please remember that my visit to the Xiao clan this time around was personally approved by my teacher, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!”Pursing her small mouth, Nalan Yanran tilted her head slightly and said somewhat helplessly," You can treat this as coercion. However, you should also know that this is reality. Nothing is absolutely fair. Although I don't want to express anything, you should also know the difference between you and me. We…"
"There's basically no hope…"
Hearing the young lady's god-like judgment, a cold smile seeped out from the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth."Miss Nalan…you should know that in the Dou Qi continent, it would be extremely embarrassing for the bride to break off the engagement. Ke ke, I am thick-skinned, so it is fine, but my father! If he really agrees to your request today, how will he manage the Xiao family in the future? How are we going to gain a foothold in Wu Tan City?"
Eyeing the young man whose face was filled with fury, Nalan Yanran frowned slightly. The corner of her eyes glanced at Xiao Zhan, who seemed to have suddenly aged a lot. Her heart also felt a little apologetic. She gently bit her cherry lips and mused for a moment. Her intelligent eyes rotated slightly before she suddenly softly said,"Yanran was indeed a little rash today. Today, I can temporarily withdraw my request to cancel the engagement, but I need you to promise me something!”
"What agreement?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked.
"I can delay today's request for three years. Three years later, you will come to the Misty Cloud Sect to challenge me. If you lose, I will cancel the engagement in front of everyone. At that time, it is likely that you will have already completed the clan's Coming of Age Ceremony. Therefore, even if you lose, it will not cause Uncle Xiao's face to be too embarrassed.”Nalan Yanran said faintly.
"Ke ke, if I lose, my father's reputation will not be damaged. However, I might have to bear the shame of failure for the rest of my life. This woman…is really ruthless!”Xiao Yan laughed with grief and indignation in his heart. His face was filled with ridicule.
"Miss Nalan, it's not like you don't know Yan 'er's situation. What do you want him to use to challenge you? Was there any meaning in humiliating him like this?”Xiao Zhan slapped the table angrily.
"Uncle Xiao, someone has to take responsibility for breaking off the engagement. If it wasn't for the sake of protecting your face, Yanran would have forcefully broken off the engagement at this moment! Then, announce it to the public!" Nalan Yanran was a little impatient after being blocked a couple of times. She turned her head and coldly cried out to the silent Xiao Yan,"Since you don't want Uncle Xiao to lose face, then accept the agreement! Between three years later and now, would you choose the former or the latter?”
"Nalan Yanran, you do not need to put on such a strong posture. You want to break off the engagement because you think that I, Xiao Yan, a trash, am not worthy of a proud daughter like you. To be harsh, other than your beauty, this young master does not even look at anything else! The Misty Cloud Sect is indeed very strong. However, I am still young. I still have time. I became a Dou Zhe when I was twelve. As for you, Nalan Yanran, what Duan Qi were you at when you were twelve? That's right, I'm indeed a good-for-nothing now. But since I was able to create a miracle three years ago, what makes you think that I won't be able to make a comeback in the future?”The silent Xiao Yan finally erupted like a volcano in the face of the young lady's overbearing manner. His small face was cold and stern. His words shocked everyone in the hall until they were stunned. Who would have thought that the usually quiet young man would actually be so powerful?
Nalan Yanran's small mouth wiggled. Although she was angered by Xiao Yan's evaluation of her until her pretty face turned green, she was unable to defend herself. What Xiao Yan said was indeed the truth. No matter how useless he was now, it was true that he had become a Dou Zhe when he was twelve years old. At that time, Nalan Yanran was only at 8 Duan Qi…
"Miss Nalan, on account of the face of Old Master Nalan, Xiao Yan will give you a few words of advice. The river flows thirty times east, and the river flows thirty times west.”Xiao Yan's cold words caused Nalan Yanran's delicate body to tremble.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa." A white-clothed man clapped his hands. However, this person did not have a pair of Dou Qi wings. Instead, he was floating in the air outside the hall. However, what everyone saw now was…
An elite Dou Zong!
