chapter 113

Wu Yan, who was wearing a grey-white monk robe, stood on the stage.

He listened to the heated discussions and gossip below the arena.

His heart was full of mixed feelings.

When Xiao Huohuo was born, he was the proud genius of the Xiao family.

It could be said that he was loved by all.

Then, he encountered an accident overnight. His dantian was broken, and he became a good-for-nothing from a genius.

He was looked down upon and ridiculed by the family.

His life was full of ups and downs, and he fell to the bottom.

He felt the fickleness of human nature. His pride and dignity were trampled on.

His fiancée did not even show her face. She almost used a humiliating method to break off the engagement.

He was unwilling, but he was powerless to resist.

Until he met Abbot Shaolin.

Shaolin's abbot Xuanxin repaired his dantian with great power, and he returned to the ranks of the geniuses.

He had regained his pride and dignity.

At that time, he was still Xiao Huohuo. He only wanted to make himself strong enough.

He wanted to make Nalan Yan, who broke off the engagement and brought humiliation to the Xiao family and Xiao Huohuo, regret.

At that time, Nalan Yan was almost Xiao Huohuo's obsession!

Later, he went to Shaoshi Mountain and heard about Shaolin's Buddhist teachings. Finally, he admired Shaolin's Buddhist teachings and was enlightened.

He finally found his own Dao.

Wu Yan became Shaolin's disciple and became the third generation disciple. At this time, he had already seen through everything.

He also put it down.

It was true enlightenment. He saw through the world of mortals!

He no longer thought about the Xiao family, the broken engagement, or Nalan Yan. He just wanted to stay in Shaolin's Buddhist land of tranquility.

Every day, he practiced martial arts, listened to Shaolin's bell, comprehended Shaolin's Buddhist teachings, and became a devout disciple of Shaolin.

"Amitabha."

Wu Yan recited the name of Buddha and looked back on his life. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.

He had changed. He was no longer the Xiao Huohuo of the Xiao family. Now, he was a Shaolin monk who had achieved enlightenment.

It was the third generation disciple Wu Yan!

…

At this moment, Nalan Yan, the direct disciple of Heng Dao Sect, walked over.

His face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were like a galaxy. He was dressed in a plain white robe, and he looked gorgeous and pure.

Her sleeves fluttered in the wind and her hair danced in the wind. Her body was cold and her eyes were shining.

Cold and beautiful, there was nothing special about her.

The moment Nalan Yan appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh my god, so beautiful."

"Yeah, just like a fairy."

"Speaking of which, Xiao Huohuo really doesn't deserve Nalan Yan."

"Nalan Yan's martial talent is second only to Wenshu Yuan's Kong Jian in the entire Tian Bei City."

"I heard that Nalan Yan is perfectly compatible with the Heng Dao Sect's Earth tier martial art, the 'Water Cloud Art'."

"Nalan Yan is a Foundation Establishment Innate Stage cultivator, and she was directly chosen to be the successor of the Sect Leader."

"Between Shaolin Wuyan and Nalan Yan, there is actually the matter of breaking off the engagement. This duel is really too interesting."

"At first, I felt that it was very exciting, and I sympathized with Xiao Huohuo. Now that I see Nalan Yan, I just want to say that Xiao Huohuo really doesn't deserve …"

"Xiao Huohuo is lucky. Otherwise, he will always be a good-for-nothing."

"The Heng Dao Sect also has an Earth tier martial art. It is impossible for Xiao Huohuo to wash away his shame."

"Yeah, Shaolin and the Heng Dao Sect both have an Earth tier martial art. How can Xiao Huohuo, who is only at the Acquired Ninth Stage, defeat Nalan Yan, who is only at the Foundation Establishment Innate Stage?"

…

…

Nalan Yan's appearance stunned everyone. The onlookers below the stage were directly excited.

They were full of expectations for the next duel, which was full of gratitude and hatred.

Nalan Yan stood on the stage and looked at Xiao Huohuo, who was wearing a gray monk robe and had his palms together.

"I'm sorry."

Nalan Yan's eyes were full of apology. She originally thought that she and Xiao Huohuo, her former fiancé, should be from two different aristocratic families.

The two parallel lines would never intersect in this lifetime.

She didn't expect that Xiao Huohuo could …

There was actually a day when she could stand on the stage with Xiao Huohuo.

"I didn't expect that because of my annulment, you would suffer such a big blow."

"It hurt you so much …"

Nalan Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of distress. She felt that it was all because of her that Xiao Huohuo saw through the world of mortals.

In the end, he became a monk under Shaolin.

She understood Xiao Huohuo's situation and state of mind at that time.

"In fact, even if your Dantian wasn't broken, I still couldn't be with you."

"Even if you didn't become a good-for-nothing, I, Nalan Yan, would still come to your door and annul the engagement."

"So …"

Nalan Yan's eyes flashed with a touch of cold arrogance. She said, "I, Nalan Yan, don't belong to anyone."

"We will never be together."

"So, promise me that when the battle starts, I hope you will do your best. Don't hold back because I am Nalan Yan and you still have feelings for me."

Looking at Wu Yan, who had his hands together and was as calm as an ancient well, Nalan Yan's face flashed with a touch of complexity. She said, "Forget about me, Nalan Yan. It's not that you aren't good enough, it's that I, Nalan Yan, only belong to this world."

"I, Nalan Yan, only have eyes for the sea of stars."

"I will never have feelings for a girl."

"So, Xiao Huohuo, remember, don't have feelings for me …"

"I won't be merciful just because you are Xiao Huohuo, so I hope you won't be indecisive just because I am Nalan Yan. Be a man and use all your strength …"

Nalan Yan's purpose was firstly to apologize to Xiao Huohuo. After all, if Xiao Huohuo had always been a good-for-nothing.

It would be fine if they didn't have any interactions anymore.

But now that Xiao Huohuo had returned to being a prodigy and was coincidentally standing on the battle stage with her, how could she, Nalan Yan, not feel guilty?

After all, annulling the engagement was indeed not right.

Secondly, she wanted to tell Xiao Huohuo to stop thinking about her, Nalan Yan.

Regardless of whether Xiao Huohuo was a good-for-nothing or not.

She, Nalan Yan, would annul the engagement.

Thirdly, she wanted to tell Xiao Huohuo that in this battle on the battle stage, he could cut off the feelings in his heart and use all his strength.

She, Nalan Yan, did not want Xiao Huohuo to be defeated because of his feelings for her.

Instead, she hoped that Xiao Huohuo would use all his strength and not show any mercy. She, Nalan Yan, would use her true strength to completely defeat Xiao Huohuo.

This was her, Nalan Yan's, pride!

"Amitabha."

After chanting the name of Buddha, Wu Yan, who had his palms together, had a dark expression on his face. He could not bear it any longer.

"Benefactor, please conduct yourself with dignity. This poor monk is a monk of Shaolin."

"He pays great attention to his reputation."

Xiao Huohuo directly spoke, interrupting Nalan Yan's self-righteous chatter.

What's with love?

What feelings for you?

What do you mean I still have feelings for you?

What is he not willing to use all his strength to fight against you?

Inexplicable!

He, Wu Yan, was now a monk of Shaolin. He had long been enlightened and seen through the world of mortals.

There was no love in his heart for a long time!

He, Wu Yan, cared a lot about his reputation. How could he allow you to talk nonsense here?

This was a normal duel to begin with. Why do you have to talk about all this nonsense here?

Don't care about those rumors.

This poor monk is a monk, so he cares about his reputation!
