Three Years and That's All You've Got?

"Nalan sister, it was him yesterday..." Ling Lin hid behind Nalan Yanran, reporting in a small voice.

Seeing Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran roughly guessed that the one who dared to be so ruthless was Xiao Yan. Even her Yunlan Sect leader's personal disciple had two fingers broken.

Xiao Yan simply didn't understand how to cherish women.

Xiao Yan naturally heard what Ling Lin said, glanced at her, and casually said, "Someone attacked first, I already gave her face by not really doing anything."

"You!"

"Hmm?!" Xiao Yan frowned, immediately scaring Ling Lin into shrinking back, not daring to make a sound.

"Yanran, my apologies. The family has been busy these past few days and almost neglected our distinguished guests." Just then, a clear laugh suddenly sounded from outside the door. Immediately afterward, a rather handsome young man walked in with a smile, amiably smiling at Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan looked at the young man's smiling face and guessed that this was probably one of Nalan Yanran's suitors.

"Mo Li, you're too kind." Nalan Yanran nodded, her smile reserved, not softening because of the fiery gaze in the young man's eyes.

Seeing Nalan Yanran's lukewarm smile, a flash of disappointment quickly crossed the eyes of the young man called Mo Li.

After several years of acquaintance, she still didn't seem to have any feelings for him, which made him feel somewhat dejected.

Mo Li smiled and said, "Yanran, let's go to the Mo family together later. It's on the way."

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran hesitated slightly, glanced at Ge Ye, and then took a deep look at Xiao Yan, before nodding.

Noticing Nalan Yanran's gaze, Mo Li looked at Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong and asked, "Who are these two?"

Ge Ye quickly said, "They are friends of mine and Yanran, and they are also here to offer birthday congratulations."

"Oh, oh, I see, then let's go together," Mo Li invited.

Hai Bo Dong felt a bit strange inside. He knew that Xiao Yan wasn't here to offer birthday congratulations today, but to offer incense to Mo Cheng! Wouldn't this be like leading a wolf into the house?

However, Xiao Yan didn't refuse. Since someone was taking him into the Mo family, he was too lazy to sneak in.

Before long, the group arrived at the Mo family headquarters in a carriage.

The Mo family was indeed the most powerful family in the eastern provinces of the Gama Empire. Just this heavily guarded fortress alone must have cost a fortune to build.

Xiao Yan used his Soul power to roughly scan the fortress from above. There were at least a dozen lines of sight blocking every angle in the sky above the fortress. If anyone tried to enter from the sky, countless hidden arrows would immediately shoot the intruder into a hedgehog.

"Good thing I wasn't thinking of flying in."

Following Nalan Yanran and the others, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong entered the Mo family very smoothly.

After arriving at the main hall, Xiao Yan exchanged glances with Hai Bo Dong. Xiao Yan remained in the main hall, while Hai Bo Dong secretly sneaked into the Mo family to search for Qing Lin's whereabouts.

"Haha, niece Nalan! I didn't expect you to come in person today. Your personal arrival truly makes my Mo family shine!" Seeing Nalan Yanran arrive, Mo Cheng, as the host of the day, had an even brighter smile on his face, stepping forward and laughing in an extremely affectionate manner.

Xiao Yan casually found a seat and sat down, his eyes locked on Mo Cheng, especially staring at Mo Cheng's eyes. Only after discovering that Mo Cheng's eyes were not Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils did Xiao Yan completely breathe a sigh of relief. At least this confirmed that Qing Lin was still safe.

Listening to Mo Cheng chattering on about alliances and mergers in the hall, Xiao Yan only felt bored. As soon as Hai Bo Dong found Qing Lin, Xiao Yan would immediately make Mo Cheng pay the price for what he had done. He didn't have time to care about any Mo alliance.

He didn't know how long Mo Cheng had been talking when suddenly Hai Bo Dong appeared behind Xiao Yan. Seeing that Qing Lin wasn't with Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "Hai, did something happen? Where's Qing Lin?"

Xiao Yan had even drawn a portrait of Qing Lin last night based on his memory. Qing Lin's head of emerald green hair should have been easy to find.

Hai Bo Dong shook his head and said, "I searched every room in the entire Mo family, but I couldn't find the girl you mentioned. She's probably hidden in a secret room."

Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, slowly raised his head, looked at the spirited Mo Cheng in the hall, and said indifferently, "It's a pity. If I had successfully rescued Qing Lin, perhaps he could have coughed up some blood to redeem his life."

Mo Cheng missed the best opportunity.

Xiao Yan crossed his legs, gently fiddled with the tea leaves in his teacup, and his voice, carrying Dou Qi, spread throughout the entire hall: "Mo Cheng, where is the girl you abducted from Mo City Rock a few days ago?"

!!!!!!!!!!

The originally somewhat noisy hall instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Xiao Yan. Everyone had heard what Xiao Yan had just said very clearly.

"The Great Elder abducted a girl?"

"Who is this young man, actually questioning the Great Elder in public like this!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye felt like they had been struck by lightning. They finally understood Xiao Yan's reason for coming to Yan City! He was here to demand someone! They were done for, they had led a wolf into the house! Mo Cheng's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Who are you?"

Xiao Yan looked up at Mo Cheng and said, "Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan didn't have the slightest fear of the Mo family, and didn't even bother to use an alias.

"Xiao Yan!! You're Nalan Yanran's fiancé!!!" Mo Li, sitting next to Nalan Yanran, suddenly stood up! As a suitor of Nalan Yanran, he naturally knew about Xiao Yan, and even knew about the Three-Year Agreement Nalan Yanran had made with Xiao Yan!

Hai Bo Dong and everyone else present looked at Xiao Yan, then at Nalan Yanran. Good heavens! So they were a couple!!

Mo Cheng also remembered Xiao Yan as a person, and sneered, "Heh, although you are indeed Nalan's niece's fiancé, I've heard that the engagement has been called off, and there's some Three-Year Agreement. If you think you can cause trouble in my Mo family based on this identity, then you're sorely mistaken."

Back then, when the young Nalan Yanran had an engagement and wanted to break it off, it was a significant matter in the Yunlan Sect. After Ge Ye returned, he concealed the fact that Nalan Yanran had been defeated, saying that the two sides hadn't reached an agreement and had arranged a battle three years later to decide the engagement.

With Ge Ye saying so, everyone naturally assumed that Xiao Yan was unwilling to accept it and was trying to cling on.

But they never expected that the tables had turned.

Mo Cheng gave Mo Li a look, and Mo Li immediately understood. He stood in front of Nalan Yanran, drew his long sword, and said, "Xiao Yan, you are not qualified to challenge Yanran!"

"Me challenge her?" Has the rumor spread like this now? Are you still asleep or have you transmigrated? With a buzz, Mo Li circulated his Dou Qi, instantly forming a Dou Qi Transformation Armor around his body. The aura of a three-star *Da Dou Shi* erupted as he pointed his sword at Xiao Yan, saying, "My strength is comparable to Yanran's. If you want to challenge her, you must first pass my test!"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Nalan Yanran to the side. Because Nalan Yanran had something blocking his Soul perception, Xiao Yan didn't know her exact cultivation level.

"Your strength is comparable to hers?"

"That's right!"

"Interesting."

Xiao Yan stroked his chin and looked at Mo Cheng, saying, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Before I find this boring, if you bring Qing Lin here, I'll spare your Mo family. Otherwise, your Mo family's joyous occasion today will turn into a funeral."

Mo Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he said grimly, "No matter who you are, the Mo family is not a place where you can run wild!"

Xiao Yan shook his head. It seemed this person wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.

Slowly sitting down, Xiao Yan picked up the hot tea on the table and slowly drank it, saying faintly, "Before the tea gets cold is your Mo family's last chance."

Seeing Xiao Yan directly ignore him, a hint of killing intent flashed in Mo Li's eyes. Regardless of whether Xiao Yan had been dumped or not, the title of Nalan Yanran's fiancé made him furious, as if he had been cuckolded.

"You will pay the price! Azure Wood Swordplay!!"

Mo Li's figure burst forward, and the long sword in his hand turned into a streak of azure light, stabbing straight at Xiao Yan's throat. He had no intention of sparring at all, but wanted to kill Xiao Yan! "It's the Yunlan Sect's Mystic Rank Dou Technique, Azure Wood Swordplay!"

"Mo Li is indeed a genius comparable to Nalan Yanran. He has actually cultivated the Azure Wood Swordplay to perfection!"

Pa, under everyone's stunned expressions, a wisp of blood-red flame appeared on Xiao Yan's fingertip, gently resisting Mo Li's sword tip.

Xiao Yan frowned, turned his head to look at Nalan Yanran behind Mo Li, and asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "Is this all you've chased in three years?"
