Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 276 Ruoruo's Contribution

Looking at Xiao Yan standing stupidly at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Zhan walked over, laughed loudly, patted his shoulder, and said:

"Why, after not seeing your father for so long, you just stand there like an idiot?"

"Father, I."

Seeing Xiao Yan looking hesitant and embarrassed, Xiao Zhan smiled and simply dragged him inside the door, then closed it tightly.

"Since Yan'er appears here, the three-year agreement must have been successfully concluded, right?"

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan walked towards the stone table in the courtyard, then slowly sat down and casually poured a pot of tea.
"Come, sit down, and tell Daddy, although it's quiet here, I'm really sorry that I can't see my son's elegance."

Seeing this scene, the countless words that Xiao Yan had been holding in his mouth were immediately suppressed back into his stomach. He nodded, then sat down next to Xiao Zhan and slowly recounted his battle with Nalan Yanran.

"Since father wants to listen, there is naturally no reason for me to disobey." Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately showed a look of relief and responded.

Xiao Yan was not very good at telling stories, but at this moment he tried his best to describe the battle with Nalan Yanran vividly. After a long separation, even though the father and son did not seem to have any strange feelings for each other, they still needed some medium to open up the conversation.

A three-year agreement is obviously a good choice.

Listening to Xiao Yan's story, Xiao Zhan sometimes clapped his hands in praise, and sometimes frowned, until Xiao Yan said that he did not take Nalan Yanran as a slave, but set her free, then he finally showed a relieved smile.

"During this period of time, what I've been most worried about is not whether you can win, but how you will deal with Nalan Yanran. Good boy, you can handle it and let it go. My child, Xiao Zhan, is extraordinary."

"Father, do you think what I did was right?"

Xiao Yan looked into the other person's eyes and said with some surprise.

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "No matter what, what you did back then was just a momentary impulse. If you really followed through on the bet and took Nalan Yanran as your slave, I would not consider it a good idea. Breaking up like this is a good thing for both of you."

"You won your dignity, and the Nalan family also retained some face. This outcome is already very difficult. After all, the Nalan family and my Xiao family have a long history. If we really want to turn against each other, it is not what your grandfather wants to see."

Xiao Zhan’s words made Xiao Yan stunned.

He knew that the reason his father was not worried about his victory was most likely because he knew that Ruoruo had helped him, but the other party's words did not show any anger towards the Nalan family, which still made Xiao Yan feel quite puzzled.

"Dad, no matter what Nalan Yanran's original intention was, she ultimately ruined your reputation and robbed you of your dignity as the clan leader. Aren't you angry at all?"

"Since we've reached Emei Ridge, why bother with Qingyun? My son has already proven his strength and slapped everyone in the Yunlan Sect in the face. Isn't that enough to vent your anger?"

Xiao Zhan casually poured a cup of tea, handed it to Xiao Yan, and said gently:

"Xiao Yan, you must know that the years of youth and recklessness have left behind memories that can never be returned to. What always makes people sigh are the things that were lost because they were not cherished. But these are exactly what I want you to experience."

"Because, the years of youth and recklessness only come once in a lifetime. Three years of experience have made you gain a lot, which is enough for your father." Looking at the teacup that kept churning and finally fell to the bottom of the cup, Xiao Yan's heart was excited, and he felt a sudden enlightenment.

"Thank you, Dad. I understand."

"Ah."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan didn't want to say more about the matter. Instead, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Speaking of which, Yan'er's greatest achievement in the past three years is probably not strength, right?"

"Not strength?"

"Haha, from what I've seen, Miss Ruoruo really cares about you."

After hearing Xiao Zhan's meaningful words, Xiao Yan was a little confused. He knew that his father was rescued by the other party, but he didn't know the specific circumstances. His curiosity suddenly aroused, and he said:

"From what father said, could it be that Ruoruo mentioned me in front of you?"

"Not only was the girl's actions mentioned at that time, even I, her father, was really shocked."

Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed to be completely unaware of this, Xiao Zhan considered for a moment and decided to tell the story.
"Back then, the Xiao family was attacked by thieves. Although they were wantonly destroying the area, it seemed that their target was only me. So, after learning this, I rushed to the back mountain and chose to lead them away."

"With my Grand Fighting Master's cultivation, I had no chance of winning against that mysterious Dou Wang-level figure. I was captured without much resistance. Fortunately, after capturing me, he didn't attack the Xiao family again. Instead, he took me back to the Yunlan Sect for interrogation. That's when I finally learned his identity."

"Yun Ling, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with anger. He almost wanted to pull Yun Leng out of hell and kill him a few more times.

There is a world of difference between hearsay and his father's personal experience. For such an irreconcilable hatred, only by killing the other party with his own hands can Xiao Yan feel some comfort in the hatred in his heart.

"Yes, I happened to have met this person once before when I went to the imperial capital. He was the great elder of the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Zhan's hand holding the teacup slightly tightened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"This man humiliated me in every way, trying to get clues to some treasure from me. I could see he didn't dare kill me, so I kept silent. Then I was imprisoned in a small cave, dark and without sight of anything."

"However, before he accidentally interrogated her, Miss Ruoruo suddenly appeared. To be honest, this was the first time I saw her so furious. I even felt a little nervous."

At this point, Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "With one move, she forced Yun Leng to kneel before me. He kowtowed dozens of times before being thrown out of the cave. Then she informed me of your safety and brought me to this small courtyard, saying that she would call you over after the three-year agreement was over."

"Father is saying that Ruoruo had fallen out with Yun Leng long before the three-year agreement?!"

Xiao Zhan's story made Xiao Yan's pupils shrink suddenly and his heart tremble. He finally figured out the real reason why Ruoruo had not arrived at the scene when they had agreed to do so three years ago.

With her methods and style, she would never leave such a big loophole for herself. Even the subsequent duel with the guardian Wu was not as easy as before.
It turns out that she did it all for me.
