Somewhat different from what Nalan Yanran has expected, the body of the young man standing in front of her trembles violently, and then he slowly raises his head. His face was handsome and still childish, but now it looks gruesome...
Having been suffering from mockery for three years, Xiao Yan still has his principle, but what Nalan Yanran has done, her condescending manner, and her tone of charity have touched the bottom line in Xiao Yan 's heart.
"Ah ..." scared by Xiao Yan's gruesome look, the young girl hurriedly step back, and the handsome young man on her side pulls out his sword, and his eyesight grimly fixes on Xiao Yan .
"I ... really want to kill you!" His teeth trembling, and his words leaking out his killing intention, Xiao Yan fists clenched, dark eyes burning be afire with fury fire .
"Yan , don't be unreasonable!" On the chief seat, Xiao Zhan is also shocked by Xiao Yan 's behavior, and hurriedly he reproaches Xiao Yan because the clan of Xiao can't afford to offend the Sect of Cloud and Mist.
Fists fiercely clenching together, Xiao Yan slightly lowers his head, and when he raises his head a moment later, the previous hideous look has turned into a calm expression...
In the past three years, Xiao Yan has suffered from enough discrimination and ridicule, but meanwhile, his endurance is honed much better than common people.
The girl, Nalan Yanran, standing in front of him is the favorite of the Sect of Cloud and Mist, and if he really conflicts with her now, he will invite untold troubles to his father and clan, so he has to endure!
Looking at the young man who manages to control his emotions in a brief moment, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran suddenly feel a chill in their hearts...
"If this man keeps being a waste in the future, there will be no problem, but if he somehow obtains the power, he will definitely be a hardnut..." Ge Ye thinks seriously.
"Xiao Yan , although I do not know why my actions make you so angry, but you'd better… break off the engagement!" Lightly exhaling a breath, Nalan Yanran calms down from the previous shock, and says with her small face sullen.
"Please remember, this time my coming to the clan of Xiao is approved by my teacher, the head of the Sect of Cloud and Mist!" Pursing her mouth, Nalan Yanran slightly tilts her head and says helplessly, "You can take this as coercion, but you should also accept the reality that nothing is absolutely fair, although I don't want to make it so clear, the gap between you and me is too huge... "
"No hope exists for this engagement..."
Listening to her god-like declaration, Xiao Yan sneers: "Miss Nalan ... you should know that on the battle Qi continent, how embarrassed the other party will feel if the female party break off the engagement, huh, I am thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter to me, but how about my father? He is the head of our clan, if today he agrees to your request, how can he take charge of the clan of Xiao in later days? How else can he gain a foothold in the city of Utan ?"
Looking at the young man whose face is filled with fury, Nalan Yanran frowns lightly, and she glances at Xiao Zhan sitting on the chief seat who looks aged now, feeling slightly a bit apologetic. She bites her cherry-colored lips , ponders for a moment, slightly rolling her eyes, and suddenly says softly: "I admit that I'm a bit reckless today, so I can temporarily withdraw the request to break off the engagement. However, I need you to promise me a deal!"
"What's the deal?" Xiao Yan asks, frowning.
"I can delay my request for three years, and three years later you have to come to the Sect of Cloud and Mist to challenge me. If you lose, I will break off our engagement in public, and by that time, I think you have also passed the coming-of-age ceremony in your clan, so it will not make Uncle Xiao too embarrassed if you lose, do you dare to take it?" Nalan Yanran coolly asks.
"Oh, if I lose the battle, it is true that my father's reputation won't be damaged, but perhaps I will have to carry the humiliation of the defeat all through my life. This girl…how ruthless she is!" Smiling sorrowfully and angrily, Xiao Yan face distorts with self-mockery.
"Miss Nalan, you are conscious of Xiao Yan's situation. How can he challenge you? Is it interesting to insult him like this?" Xiao Zhan thumps the table and stands up in anger.
"Uncle Xiao, for something like breaking off an engagement, a man has to take on the responsibilities to face it, and if it weren't for fearing embarrassing you, I would have broken off the engagement by now! And the announcement would have been made public!" Frustrated several times, Nalan Yanran gets also a bit impatient, and turns her head to the silent Xiao Yan and coldly shouts, "Since you don't want to disgrace Uncle Xiao, then accept my proposal! Three years later or right now, you choose the former or the latter?"
"Nalan Yanran , you do not need to be so dominant. The reason why you want to break off the engagement is that you think that I'm a waste and not good enough for such a genius like you. Tartly speaking, other than your beauty, I distain all other things in you! The Sect of Cloud and Mist is indeed very strong, but I am still young and I still have plenty of time, I have become a battler at the age of twelve, and you, Nalan Yanran, when you were twelve years old, which battle Qi rank had you achieved? Yes, it's true that I'm a waste now, but since I had managed to perform a miracle three years ago, why can't I overturn the game again?" Facing the young girl's aggressive words, the silent young man finally bursts out like a volcano, his tender face being cold and solemn, with a few sentences, he shocks everyone in the hall into a daze, who would have thought that the normally silent young man could be so edgy?
Nalan Yanran's lips slightly moving, although angry at Xiao Yan's comment, she finds no words to defend herself. What Xiao Yan has said is indeed the truth, no matter how useless he has become now, he was a battler at the age of twelve. But at that time, what Nalan Yanran had was only eight-ranked battle Qi ... ...
"Miss Nalan, for Master Nalan's sake, I suggest you take this advice: every dog will have his day, so don't bully a young boy when he is poor!" Xiao Yan's cold words make Nalan Yanran's body lightly tremble.
"There speaks my good son! My son is after all extraordinary!" On the chief seat, Xiao Zhan 's eyes light up, and he smashes heavily on top of the table, tea water splashing.
Gritting her teeth and staring at the sneering young man standing before her, Nalan Yanran feel blind with anger. She has been spoiled since she was born, and never has anyone of her age dared to speak to her like this, so she gets immediately angry and her still childish voice gets shrill: "You dare speak to me like this? Even if you were a unparalleled genius, but you are useless now! Well, I will wait for the day when you trounce me again, and now I can put the matter of breaking off the engagement aside, but three years later, I will wait for you in the Sect of Cloud and Mist, let me see how far you have surpassed me then! If you can beat me by then, I'm willing to do anything all at your discretion!"
"Of course, three years later if you are still such a waste, you'd better readily sign the contract of breaking off the engagement!"
Looking at the young girl's livid face, Xiao Yan laughs and mocks out: "No need for waiting three years, I have literally no interest in you, to be honest!" he says, and then ignoring the icy look of Nalan Yanran he turns around, steps to the table, picks up an ink brush and writes quickly!
The moment the ink falls on the paper, he has finished writing!
Xiao Yan draws out the short sword on the table with his right hand, and with the sharp blade he leaves a deep cut on his left palm...
With his bloody palm he leaves a bloody print on the paper!
Gently picking up the contract, Xiao Yan sneers, and as he comes in front of Nalan Yanran , he slams it heavily on the table.
"Don't think I will care much about a girl like you just because you are a so-called genius. This contract is not a contract to break off the engagement, but a certificate of divorce to expel you from the clan of Xiao! From now on, you, Nalan Yanran , have nothing more to do with me and the clan of Xiao !"
"You ... how dare you shoo me away?" Looking at the bloody contract on the table, Nalan Yanran glared at Xiao Yan, unbelievable. With such beauty, talent as well as background, how dare any young man talk about divorcing her? This incident comes all of a sudden that she feels unreal.
Looking coldly at Nalan Yanran 's stunned appearance, Xiao Yan suddenly turns around, bending his knees to Xiao Zhan , and knocks his head heavily. Though he bites his lips tightly, he keeps a stubborn silence...
Although nominally he expels Nalan Yanran from the Xioa clan , others will not believe so when they hear the news, unconscious about the situation, they will only think that it is Nalan Yanran who forces the clan of Xiao to break off the engagement with her background,, after all, with Nalan Yanran's talent, beauty, and background, the good-for-nothing young master of Xiao clan is no match for her, and no one will think that Xiao Yan could have the courage to divorce the successor of the Sect of Cloud and Mist, in which case, as Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan will certainly fall victim to numerous ridicule ...
Looking at Xiao Yan who is kneeling on the gound, understanding that his he is extremely apologetic in heart, Xiao Zhan smiles and says with comfort, "I believe my son will not always be a waste. It's a mere gossip, later before the reality the gossip will collapse of itself."
"Father, three years later, I will go the Sect of Cloud and Mist to personally wash away today's humiliation for you!" With some wetness in the c his eyes, Xiao Yan knocks his head heavily, then gets up straight and goes towards outside the hall without hesitation.
As he passes Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan stops for a while, and his childish voice is cold.
"Three years later, I will come for you!"
Under the sunlight, the young man's long shadow looks lonely and desolate.
Nalan Yanran can't help opening her mouth, but she stares at Xiao Yan's back, which is fading away, without knowing what to say. The paper in her hand suddenly seems to become unbearably heavy...
"You three, since your purpose has been achieved, then please go back." Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Xiao Zhan face is still indifferent, but in his sleeve his fist pinches until his fingers are white.
"Uncle Xiao, I apologize for today's offence, later if you have time, I'd like to invite you… to our clan for a visit!" Respectfully bowing to the Xiao Zhan, whose face keeps indifferent. Nalan Yanran also does not want to stay any more, so she gets up and goes out, Ge Ye and that handsome young man following her in hurry.
"Take this elixir away!" Waving his hand, Xiao Zhan throwing the jade box on the table away.
Ge Ye hands out backwards, steadily grabbing the box, and then he laughs bitterly, and puts it away in his space ring.
"The young lady from Nalan Clan, I hope you will not regret today's missy behaviors later, and for another thing, don't think that with the backing of the Sect of Cloud and Mist you can be unscrupulous, the battle Qi continent is so vast that there are many people stronger even than your teacher..." The moment the three people are about to go out, a young girl's light voice suddenly sound with indifference.
The three people's feet jerk, and their looks change. Slightly they cast their eyesight in the corner, where sits a purple-skirted girl gently flipping a book.
Sunlight from the thin crack of the door and window cast inside, and the girl is bathed in it. From afar, she looks like a purple lotus blooming in a mundane world, pure and beautiful, almost immaculate ...
Seeming to be aware of the three people's eyesight, the young girl raises her pretty face from her ancient book, and a flash of gold fire suddenly flashes in her autumnstream-like eyes...
Looking at the tiny golden fire in the eyes of the young girl, Ge Ye trembles violently, a look of panic instantly flashes through his old face, and then he hastily grabs Nalan Yanran and that young man who is still puzzled, and scampers out of the hall as if he is running for his life...
Looking at Ge Ye's action, except a few people in the hall, the others can not help feeling startled.
