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…" The young lady was startled by the young man's ferocious appearance. She hurriedly took a step back. The handsome young man beside her suddenly pulled out his long sword. His gaze was dark and cold as he pointed it 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 above, 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's fist was violently clenched. He lowered it slightly. 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 was far beyond 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Nalan Yanran suddenly felt a chill in their hearts as they looked at the young man in front of them who had suddenly withdrawn the emotions in his heart…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 agreed 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! He is the clan leader. If he really agrees to your request today, how will he manage the Xiao clan 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 said softly,"Yanran was indeed a little rash in today's matter. 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?”Faced with the young lady's overbearing manner, the silent Xiao Yan finally erupted like a volcano. 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 lovely body to tremble.
"Good, what a good sentence! My son is extraordinary!”Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up as he slammed his palms on the table, causing tea to splatter.
Nalan Yanran clenched her teeth and stared at the young man who was laughing coldly in front of her. She had been spoiled all year round. When had she ever been lectured by someone her age like this? She was so angry that her head became dizzy. Her somewhat childish voice was also a little sharp,"Who are you to lecture me? Even if your talent in the past was unmatched, the current you is a piece of trash! Alright, I, Nalan Yanran, will wait for the day when you cross me again. I can no longer mention the matter of the annulment of the engagement today. However, I will wait for you at the Misty Cloud Sect three years later. If you have the ability, then let me see to what extent you can turn the tables! If you can defeat me at that time, I, Nalan Yanran, will be your slave for the rest of my life!”
"Of course, if you're still this useless after three years, you'd better obediently hand over the contract to cancel the engagement!”
Eyeing the young lady with a green face, Xiao Yan laughed and mocked,"There's no need to wait three years. I'm really not interested in you at all!”After he finished speaking, he ignored the icy cold face of Nalan Yanran. He suddenly turned around, quickly walked to the table, and started writing!
Mo Luo stopped writing!
Xiao Yan's right hand suddenly pulled out the short sword on the table. The sharp blade suddenly cut a bloody wound on his left palm…
The palm that was stained with blood left a dazzling bloody mark on the white paper!
Xiao Yan gently picked up this contract and let out a cold laugh. When he passed by Nalan Yanran, his hand heavily smashed it on the table.
"Don't think that I, Xiao Yan, care much about your genius wife. This contract is not a contract to cancel the engagement, but a certificate to expel you from the Xiao clan! From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, have nothing to do with my Xiao family!”
"You…you dare to divorce me?" Nalan Yanran's large beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the bloody hand contract on the table. She spoke in a somewhat disbelieving manner. With her beauty, talent, and background, she was actually directly divorced by a trash from a small clan? This sudden turn of events made her feel that it was too unreal.
Xiao Yan coldly looked at Nalan Yanran's stunned expression. He suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan. He heavily kowtowed and bit his lips, stubbornly remaining silent…
Although he was the one who had expelled Nalan Yanran from the clan in name, other people would not think so after this matter was spread. Those who were unaware of the situation would only think that Nalan Yanran had used her powerful background to forcefully break off the engagement with the Xiao clan. After all, with Nalan Yanran's talent, beauty, and background, she was definitely more than enough to match up to a useless young master of the Xiao clan. No one would think that Xiao Yan would have the courage to divorce a future leader of the Misty Cloud Sect…As Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan would definitely be ridiculed…
Looking at the kneeling Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan, who understood the guilt in Xiao Yan's heart, smiled and said,"I believe that my son will not be a useless person for the rest of his life. These mere rumors will naturally be dispelled in the face of reality in the future.”
"Father, three years later, Yan 'er will go to the Misty Cloud Sect and personally wash away the humiliation today for you!”The corner of Xiao Yan's eyes were a little moist. He kowtowed heavily before standing up and walking out of the hall without any hesitation.
Xiao Yan's footsteps paused when he passed by Nalan Yanran. A clear and tender voice was icily spat out.
" I'll look for you in three years!"
The youth's back was stretched out under the sunlight, looking lonely and desolate.
Nalan Yanran's small mouth was slightly agape. She was somewhat at a loss as she stared at the gradually disappearing back. The contract in her hand suddenly became as heavy as a thousand jin…
"The three of you, since you have achieved your goal, please return.”Looking at the young man leaving, Xiao Zhan's face was indifferent. The fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched so tightly that his fingers turned white.
"Uncle Xiao, Yanran apologizes to you for today's matter. If you have time in the future, please come to the Nalan family as a guest!”Nalan Yanran respectfully bowed to the indifferent Xiao Zhan. She did not want to stay any longer, so she stood up and walked out of the hall. Ge Ye and the handsome young man hurriedly followed behind her.
"Take the qi-gathering elixir too!" With a wave of his hand, the jade box on the table was coldly flung away by Xiao Zhan.
Ge Ye extended his hand and firmly grabbed the box. He bitterly laughed and stored it into his ring.
"Young lady of the Nalan clan, I hope that you will not regret your actions today. Moreover, do not think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the Misty Cloud Sect's support. The Dou Qi continent is very, very large. There are quite a number of people who are stronger than Yun Yun…" The young lady's light voice that carried a faint coldness suddenly sounded the moment Nalan Yanran and the other two were about to leave.
The three of them suddenly stopped in their tracks. Their gazes changed slightly as they looked at the purple-dressed girl who was gently flipping through a book in the corner.
Sunlight shone in through the gap between the door and window, just enough to envelop the young girl. From afar, she looked like a purple lotus flower blooming in the secular world, pure and beautiful, without stirring up dust…
Seemingly sensing the gazes of the three people, the young lady lifted her exquisite little face from the simple and unadorned book page. A tiny golden flame suddenly surged out of her beautiful eyes that were like autumn water…
Ge Ye's body suddenly trembled as he looked at the tiny golden flame in the young lady's eyes. A terrified expression instantly covered his old face. His shriveled hand grabbed the puzzled Nalan Yanran and the young man in a panic. After which, he fled the hall in a manner akin to fleeing for his life…
Looking at Ge Ye's actions, other than a few people in the hall, everyone else could not help but be stunned...
