Chapter 73: Hai Bodong’s Misery Continues, Heading to the Xiao Clan with Nalan Yanran

Chapter 73: Hai Bodong's Misery Continues, Heading to the Xiao Clan with Nalan Yanran

Nalan Yanran's sharp gaze remained fixed on Wu Tian, her mind replaying his cold, indifferent words.

For some reason, she felt unwilling to accept them.

She was Nalan Yanran.

The beloved daughter of the Nalan family.

A peerless genius taken as a personal disciple by the leader of Cloud Mist Sect.

And now, she was even the Young Sect Master.

Every young man in the Jia Ma Empire admired her.

They wanted her favor.

They flattered her.

They tried everything to get her attention.

But this one man

Didn't even care.

Didn't even look at her properly.

Nalan Yanran refused to accept this.

Suddenly, she smiled.

"Wu Gan, we've only just met, and you already say we have no fate?"

"But meeting here, in such a vast empire, isn't that fate?"

"From now on, we are friends. You may call me Yanran."

Wu Tian: "…"

He let out a deep sigh.

"I am just a commoner, Miss Nalan. If calling you Yanran makes you happy, then do as you please."

The crowd was stunned.

Even Wu Tian himself felt like facepalming.

What the hell?!

How many times had he said it already?!

He didn't want to attract women!

Yet they kept coming!

He had already ignored her, but Nalan Yanran still insisted on approaching him!

Meanwhile, the bystanders felt a mix of emotions

Shock.

Envy.

And pure hatred.

Especially Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa.

These two powerful clan leaders had come personally to flatter Nalan Yanran

Yet she ignored them completely.

But this random young man?

She chose to befriend him?!

How was that fair?!

What made it worse was

Wu Tian didn't even care.

His casual, indifferent response made them grit their teeth in frustration.

They would kill to have such an opportunity!

Nalan Yanran noticed Wu Tian's lack of enthusiasm.

Her cheeks puffed up slightly in irritation.

A faint rosy tint spread across her fair face, making her look even more charming.

This sight made the young Cloud Mist Sect disciple standing nearby nearly faint.

He had loved Nalan Yanran for years.

Yet she had never even looked at him.

Now, she was actively engaging with another man?!

His heart burned with jealousy.

But he was smart

Since Nalan Yanran had accepted Wu Tian as a friend, he couldn't openly show hostility.

Instead, he quietly made a mental note

One day, he would eliminate Wu Tian.

At that moment, Nalan Yanran turned to Hai Bodong, pointing a delicate jade finger at him.

"Wu Gan's brother, what is your status in the Xiao Clan?"

"Why has no one from the Xiao family come to greet me?"

Hai Bodong: "…"

For a moment, he almost cried.

Ever since I met this brat Wu Tian,

everything in my life has gone to hell.

Before he showed up, I had everything under control!

But now

This spoiled princess was clearly furious at Wu Tian

And instead of yelling at him, she was using the Xiao Clan as her punching bag.

But before she could vent on the Xiao family,

He Hai Bodong

Would have to take the first hit.

Still, as an old fox, he had a plan.

If he was going to be a punching bag, he might as well be a tornado

And make the storm even worse.

With a smile full of wrinkles, Hai Bodong bowed slightly and spoke:

"Miss Nalan, my name is Wu Shougan. I am the newly appointed steward of the Xiao family."

"Clan Leader Xiao Zhan told me that you are his niece and his son's fiancée."

"Since elders should not personally greet their juniors, the Clan Leader and the elders are waiting for you at the reception hall."

The moment she heard this,

Nalan Yanran's expression turned completely dark.

The small flame of anger in her heart exploded into a raging fire.

She was the Young Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect!

And the Xiao Clan dared to treat her like this?!

Before, she had felt some guilt over her upcoming decision.

She had wondered if she was doing the right thing.

But now

She no longer had any doubts.

"Good! Very good!"

"The Xiao Clan dares to use their 'seniority' against me?"

"Fine. Let's go see what they have to say!"

Watching her rage escalate,

Wu Tian's eyebrow twitched.

Then, he turned his gaze to Hai Bodong.

This old fox…

He really knows how to stir the pot.

Things are about to get very interesting.

But there was one thing Wu Tian still didn't understand

Why the hell did this guy call himself Wu Shougan?!

Was it because he was too old, and his hands were losing their "good touch"?

No wonder he had tried to name Wu Tian "Wu Hao" earlier.

Now, they really did sound like brothers.

With that, Wu Tian followed Hai Bodong into Wu Tan City.

To his surprise,

Nalan Yanran quickly moved to his side and started walking next to him.

Wait, what?

After everything I've said

She's still acting friendly?!

As they walked through Wu Tan City,

Wu Tian took in the lively atmosphere.

Despite the scorching sun, the streets were bustling with people.

Even exotic beast merchants could be seen trading rare creatures.

The city's grandeur was undeniable.

Meanwhile, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa had disappeared completely.

The moment they heard Hai Bodong refer to Nalan Yanran as Xiao Yan's fiancée,

They immediately abandoned the situation.

Without a word, they rushed back to their respective clans.

As Wu Tian walked beside Nalan Yanran, he could faintly smell her fragrance.

Despite his indifference, he couldn't deny she smelled nice.

Still

It didn't change the fact that he wasn't interested.

But he was excited.

Soon, he would meet the legendary protagonist.

Would they have a heartwarming "long lost brothers" moment?

Would it be "tears in their eyes" at first sight?

Wu Tian was curious to find out.

After a short walk, they arrived at the Xiao Clan's estate.

Hai Bodong led them straight into the main reception hall.

Wu Tian glanced around.

The hall was spacious, filled with dozens of people.

Seated at the center was a middle aged man

Xiao Zhan, the Clan Leader.

He wasn't some young, handsome genius

He was a mature, imposing warrior.

Dressed in elegant gray robes, his presence alone exuded strength.

Even the elders beside him carried an air of authority,

As if they ruled not just the clan, but the entire empire.

Wu Tian smirked slightly.

This is going to be fun.
