Unlike what Nalan Yanran had expected, after saying such an alluring condition, the young man in front of him started to tremble. He slowly raised his head and his delicate and young face turned into a terrifying and savage face.
Although Xiao Yan had endured countless ridicule for the past three years, even he had his limits. Nalan Yanran's actions violently stepped on the last piece of dignity hidden deep within Xiao Yan's heart.
“Ahh ..” Seeing the ferocious face of the young man, Yanran jumped back. The young man by his side took the opportunity to pull out his sword and coldly looked at Xiao Yan.
“I... I want to kill you!” Even though his teeth were clattering, Xiao Yan's words had a clear killing intent for them! His hands clenched and within his black pupils, flames lit up.
“Yan Er, you're being rude!” Above the hall, Xiao Zhan was startled by Xiao Yan's reaction and hurriedly calmed Xiao Yan down. The current Xiao Clan would not dare to be on the wrong side of the Misty Cloud Faction.
Although his fists were getting tighter, Xiao Yan lowered his head. A moment later, he lightly raised his head. The difference was that the ferocious face he had shown earlier had been completely replaced by a calm and expressionless face …
In the past 3 years, Xiao Yan had experienced countless discrimination and ridicule. As a result, Xiao Yan was now more mature than before. Perhaps her biggest advantage over the past three years is that she has learned to control her emotions.
Looking at the completely different young man, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran suddenly felt a chill …
This kid, if he stays useless then it's no big deal. But if he gained strength, then he would definitely become a dangerous force to be reckoned with.
“Xiao Yan! Although I don't know why my actions have infuriated you so far, but, you! ” Slowly sighed, Nalan Yanran pushed his fear and stiffened his face.
“Remember, my visit to the Xiao clan was allowed by my teacher, the faction leader of the Misty Cloud Faction!” Puckered her lips, Nalan Yanran said, with a hint of helplessness: “You can understand that my visit today was partly a compulsion. But you have to understand that the reality is harsh and nothing is fair. Although that does not mean much, you have to understand the difference between us, we ... we have no hope to be together .. ”
Hearing the absolute statement from the girl, Xiao Yan's mouth curved into a grin: “Nona Nalan, a woman returning to her marriage would humiliate the other party in front of everyone. Hehe, I don't really care about being humiliated, but my father! He is the clan leader, if we accept your request today then how do you expect him to rule the Xiao clan? How did the Xiao clan maintain a foothold in Wu Tan City? ”
Looking at the angry young man, Nalan Yanran's brows furrowed. He peered towards Xiao Zhan at the end of the hall; he looked as if he had just grown old. Seeing that, he felt a little pity for his actions and bit his lips. After pondering for a moment, his eyes sparkled. He whispered: “Request today, I'm a little reckless. So, today, I will take back my temporary request to let go of my marriage. But you have to promise me something! ”
What promise?
“I can delay today's request for three years. Three years from now, you will come to the Misty Cloud Faction and challenge me. If I win then I'll let go of the marriage in front of everyone and at that time, you will perform the maturation ritual of your clan so even if you lose, you will be able to do so, You will not affect your father Xiao Zhan or the Xiao clan. Do you accept?”
Hehe, if you lose that, it won't have any effect on your father's name. But maybe for the rest of my life, I'll bear the shame of losing. This woman is too cruel! Xiao Yan felt helpless, he was angry but he was unable to find the source to vent it.
“Nona Nalan, instead you do not know the condition of Yan Er. How do you expect Him to challenge you? Insulting him like this, is it fun for you? ” Xiao Zhan hit the table and angrily stood up.
“Xiao Zhan shu-shu, when the wedding, there must be someone who bears the responsibility. If it wasn't for you, I would have let go of the wedding today! After that, I will announce it to the public! ” After being blocked several times, Nalan Yanran also became angry and coldly shouted at Xiao Yan: “Since you do not want to hurt Xiao Zhan shu-shu's name, accept the challenge! Three years or now, will you choose the first one or the later one? ”
“Nalan Yanran, you do not need to act high and mighty. The reason behind you letting go of this marriage is because you don't think that I, Xiao Yan, who is almost crippled, match up to you, a genius. Forgive me for saying things clearly. Other than your beauty, I don't care about anything from you! The Misty Cloud Faction is very powerful, I will admit it. But I am still young! I have a lot of time. When I was twelve years old, I was a Dou Zhe, but you, Nalan Yanran, when you were twelve, how much Duan Qi did you have? You are right, I may be paralyzed now, but since I created the miracle three years ago, why do you think that I cannot repeat such a miracle in the future? Why do you think I can't be the genius I used to be? ” Faced with an aggressive attitude, Xiao Yan finally erupted like a volcano. His face became extremely serious and his words shocked everyone in the main hall. Who would have thought that quiet young man had such a sharp tongue!
Nalan's mouth twitched. Even though he was extremely annoyed at Xiao Yan, he was unable to find the words to refute his statement. Xiao Yan's words were true; although he was now crippled, he was a Dou Zhe when he was twelve years old. But Nalan Yanran was only Eight Duan Qi back then …
“Lady Nalan, because of Grandpa Nalan, I will give you some advice. Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't you dare bully me because I am poor now. ” Xiao Yan's harsh words made Nalan stiffen.
“Iya! Good saying, don't you dare bully me because I'm poor now! My son cannot be ordinary! ” At the end of the hall, Xiao Zhan's eyes shone with vigor and his heavy palms struck the table, causing tea to splatter everywhere.
Clenching his teeth and looking at the sneering young man in front of him, Nalan became so angry that his head started to get dizzy. Nalan Yanran had been pampered from birth and had never been humiliated by someone of her age. His childish voice rose again: “What is your basis for humiliating me? Even if your previous talent was unmatched by anyone, you are now .. You are crippled now! Okay, I, Nalan Yanran, will wait for your day to surpass mine. Released today, I won't mention it anymore, but three years from now, I will be waiting for you in the Misty Cloud Faction. If you have the Guts, show me how you've changed your situation! If you defeat me then .. then I, Nalan Yanran, will be your slave for the rest of my life! ”
“Of course, if you are still paralyzed three years later then you better prepare a contract to release our marriage!”
Seeing the girl's pale face, Xiao Yan sneered: “It won't take three years! I don't want you even if you beg me to be my wife! ” After saying that, Xiao Yan ignored Yanran's frozen face and turned around. Quickly walking forward to the table, he took out a paper and started writing!
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's right hand grabbed the short sword on the table and pointed the sharp blade at his left hand. Immediately after preparing the sword, he forcefully took blood from his left hand.
His bloodied hand pressed down on the white paper, leaving a striking red mark.
Lightly taking the contract, Xiao Yan laughed, laughing triumphantly. When he walked past Yanran, he smashed the contract on the table.
“Don't you dare think that I, Xiao Yan, think highly of a genius wife. This contract, not a contract to release the marriage but rather, I divorce you from the Xiao Clan! From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, have no relationship with the Xiao Clan! ”
“You.... You dare divorce me?” Looking at the bloody contract on the table, Nalan Yanran's eyes opened wide in disbelief. With her beauty, talent, and background, had been divorced by the handicapped people of the small clan? This sudden turn of events made him think that he was in a dream!
Coldly looking at Nalan Yanran's astonished expression, Xiao Yan turned around and knelt in front of Xiao Zhan. He gave Kowtow the weight, bit his lip, and said nothing…
Although Xiao Yan had truly divorced Nalan Yanran, when the incident spread, others might not have expected it to be the truth. Those, who did not know what was happening, would think that Nalan Yanran was using a tyrannical background to force the Xiao clan to give up the marriage. After all, with Yanran's beauty, talent, and background, the cripple of the Xiao clan would never be able to match him. No one would think that Xiao Yan had the courage to divorce the future faction leader of the Misty Cloud Faction. Therefore, being Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan might have to endure endless ridicule.
Looking at Xiao Yan who was kneeling down and understanding the guilty feelings his son was experiencing, Xiao Zhan helplessly smiled: “I believe that my son will not be crippled forever. Gossip will not survive when hard facts are revealed in the future! ”
“Dad, three years from now, I will go to the Misty Cloud Faction and make up for the embarrassment today!” With slightly wet eyes, Xiao Yan performed another heavy kowtow and stood up. Without hesitation, Xiao Yan walked towards the door of the main hall.
When he passed by Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan paused for a moment and let out cold words from his young mouth.
“Three years from now, I will find you!”
The young man's shadow, under the scorching sun, stretched very far. Looking at him, it felt very lonely.
Nalan Yanran's small mouth opened but no sound came out. He looked at Xiao Ya's missing back and the contract in his hand felt as heavy as a mountain …
“Ahem, since your goal has been reached, please leave now.” Looking at the receding young man, even though Xiao Zhan's face was expressionless, the hands inside his sleeves curved so tightly that his fingers turned pale white.
“Xiao shu-shu, I'm sorry for today's event. If you have time in the future, be sure to come visit the Nalan Clan! ” Lightly bowed to the expressionless Xiao Zhan, Nalan also did not want to stay. He quickly stood up and went to the door of the main hall. Behind him, Ge Ye and the handsome young man immediately followed him.
“Take Qi Gathering Powder!” Waving his hand, Xiao Zhan threw the jade box on the table at them.
Ge Ye quickly caught the falling box and smiled bitterly while putting the box inside his ring.
“Lady Nalan, hope you don't regret your actions today. Also, don't assume that with the Misty Cloud Faction behind you, you can do whatever you want. There were many people who were stronger than Yun Yun.. ”When Nalan Yanran was about to exit the door, the cold voice of a girl clearly sounded within the hall.
The third step stopped and they glanced at the corner where the voice came from, finding a purple-clothed girl slowly flipping over a book.
Sunlight shone through the window beside her and enveloped the girl perfectly. From afar, he looked like a blooming heavenly purple lotus, clean and graceful, as if he was from heaven.
As if he sensed the gazes of the three, the girl lifted her head from the old book and within her autumn-like eyes, a thin line of golden flames peered out.
Seeing the thin flames in the girl's eyes, Ge Ye immediately stiffened and a look of fear flashed across his wrinkled face. His wrinkled hands immediately grabbed Nalan Yanran and the confused young man and he fled from the main hall as if he was afraid of his life.
Seeing Ge Ye's actions, except for a few people, the others all had confused expressions.
