While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 90 The Three-Year Agreement, Yao Chen Appears (3/3)

Chen Xiao never expected that his casual remark would cause Xiao Yan to inherit his father's habit of smashing cups. "I just wanted to tell you not to be so cowardly."

It wasn't meant to scare you.

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Zi Yan took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the urge to lash out on the spot.

the other side.

Xiao Yan has already arrived in the arena.

"Mr. Ge Ye, you should go back to where you came from. My Xiao family will never agree to this!"

.

The hall fell silent as all eyes turned to Xiao Yan.

Immediately following was the Grand Elder's shout.

"Xiao Yan, it's your turn to speak, so shut up first!"

Xiao Zhan looked at the First Elder, only to see that the Second and Third Elders had the same expression as the First Elder, fearing that Xiao Yan's recklessness would offend the Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Zhan could understand their apprehension; after a moment's thought, he realized that such a possibility was indeed not out of the question.

For a moment, Xiao Zhan looked up and gave Xiao Yan a look that said, "Don't be impatient."

However, at that moment, a calm voice rang out.

"Let him speak."

Everyone turned to look at the sound, and their gazes finally settled on Chen Xiao standing next to Zi Yan.

Only then were Xiao Zhan and his companions able to confirm the identity of this extremely familiar-looking person.

When Chen Xiao entered earlier, he walked side by side with Hai Bodong. His unrestrained and carefree manner made Xiao Zhan and the three elders suspicious.

Perhaps, this is just someone who looks a lot like Chen Xiao.

After all, Chen Xiao's appearance has changed somewhat compared to a few years ago.

Moreover, they also knew that Chen Xiao had gone to Canaan Academy.

"Chen Xiao?"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly to Xiao Zhan, which was his response.

Since we've all come to join in the fun, there's no reason to only watch half of it.

Moreover, he knew very well that no matter how the three elders tried to stop him, the outcome would be the same in the end.

"Heh, I also admire people with spirit. If young people aren't full of vigor, what kind of young people are they?"

Hai Bodong, hearing Chen Xiao speak, chimed in to support him.

With the two elders' support, the three elders felt somewhat relieved and said nothing more.

Xiao Yanchao saw the two of them bow slightly in thanks, and was somewhat surprised.

He remembered the name Chen Xiao, but his impression of Chen Xiao was still from when he was a child. Back then, Chen Xiao would nod and greet him every time he saw him, which was completely different from the people who surrounded him. He was like a machine that could only nod.

It wasn't until the Obama family was destroyed that he learned from Xiao Zhan that it was actually Chen Xiao's doing.

After that, he started paying more attention to Chen Xiao. Unfortunately, he never ran into Chen Xiao again after that, not even once!

Although Chen Xiao also stayed at the Xiao family for a few months later, their schedules seemed to be completely different.

Gradually, Xiao Yan developed his own problems and lost interest in paying attention to Chen Xiao.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, this nodding android was now able to chat and laugh with Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

What he never expected was that this person, whom he only knew by nodding acquaintance, would speak up for him when he was most helpless and isolated.

I had previously told myself to be more decisive.

It was him again.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the complex emotions in his mind, Xiao Yan turned to look at the Yunlan Sect members.

To be precise, he was looking at Nalan Yanran.

"Miss Nalan, you and I are the parties involved in the marriage agreement. If you are dissatisfied with the agreement, why don't you stand up and say it yourself?"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who seemed to have gained more confidence out of nowhere, Nalan Yanran snorted and immediately stood up without any stage fright.

"I have personally explained, but the result remains unchanged. I, Nalan Yanran, despise this marriage from the bottom of my heart. It's not because you have gone from being a so-called 'genius' to the good-for-nothing you are now. I just hate being made to do things by others, even my grandfather."

"Of course, I also know that this matter is not good for the Xiao family's reputation. As an apology, my teacher gave me a Qi Gathering Powder. As long as you agree to annul the engagement, it will belong to the Xiao family."

As she spoke, Nalan Yanran glanced at Ge Ye.

The latter immediately reached out and touched a ring on his finger. A green jade box appeared in his hand, which he carefully opened. A unique fragrance immediately filled the hall, making everyone who smelled it feel refreshed.

Upon closer inspection, inside the ancient box, a pill the size of a longan, entirely emerald green, lay quietly, emanating from it.

Qi Gathering Powder, a fourth-grade elixir!

Chen Xiao had also taken it before, and its effects need no further explanation.

The Xiao family members had all heard of the miraculous effects of the Qi Gathering Powder, and for a moment, many of them had burning desires, wishing they could agree on Xiao Yan's behalf.

To be honest, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect did show some sincerity by giving a fourth-grade pill to a small family like the Xiao family as an apology.

However, Nalan Yanran's method of annulling the engagement already sealed the fate of the marriage.

"This Qi Gathering Powder was personally refined by Gu He, the Honorary Elder of my Yunlan Sect."

Kuzue quietly added a sentence.

The reputation of Danwang Guhe has added even more value to this Qi Gathering Powder.

Unfortunately, to Xiao Yan, their words were only grating. If he accepted such a charity-like apology, his last shred of dignity would be lost.

Even if no one supported him, he might not agree, not to mention he had Xiao Zhan's absolute support, as well as Chen Xiao and Hai Bodong's voices just now.

"Nalan Yanran, I would like to ask, has Old Master Nalan agreed to the annulment of the engagement today?"

"Grandpa didn't agree, but as I just said, I hate it when others make decisions for me. This is my business and has nothing to do with Grandpa."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled and pressed his advantage, arguing that it was disrespectful to break off a marriage agreement made by the two families' elders without the consent of the two families' leaders. This left Nalan Yanran speechless with anger.

"What exactly do you want in order to dissolve the engagement? If you think the compensation is too little? Fine, I can have my teacher give you three more Qi Gathering Pills. In addition, if you're willing, I can also let you enter the Yunlan Sect to study advanced battle qi techniques. Is that enough?"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, severely trampling on Xiao Yan's already limited dignity.

Both Chen Xiao and Hai Bodong could see that Xiao Yan's body was trembling violently.

They exchanged a glance, both harboring a kind of anticipation for a good show.

As expected, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head. His face, which could not be described as handsome but only as delicate, was now twisted in a rather frightening way, startling Nalan Yanran opposite him.

"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Xiao Zhan, sitting at the head of the table, was startled and quickly stopped him.

Even though the Xiao family is several times stronger than it was a few years ago, it is still as weak as an ant in front of the Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Zhan's voice calmed Xiao Yan down a bit, and his tightly clenched fists slowly and weakly loosened.

"Nalan Yanran, you should know how embarrassing it is for the other party if the woman breaks off the engagement in the Dou Qi Continent. I don't care, I'm thick-skinned, but my father! He is the head of the clan. If he really agrees to your request today, how will he manage the Xiao family in the future? How will he establish himself in Wutan City!"

Seeing that the Xiao family had regained their senses, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing his words, she realized that she had been somewhat rash.

Suddenly, a new mischievous idea popped into her head.

"I can temporarily withdraw my request to dissolve the engagement, but I need you to agree to a deal! Three years from now, you will come to the Yunlan Sect to challenge me. If you lose, I will publicly dissolve the engagement. By then, you will have already completed your family's coming-of-age ceremony, so even if you lose, it won't be too embarrassing for Uncle Xiao. Do you dare to accept?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat, was furious.

After all, everyone knows Xiao Yan's current situation.

If things can't be changed, what's the difference between three years and now? By then, you might even be a Dou Shi, a Great Dou Shi, and have to fight a Xiao Yan with only three levels of Dou power.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhan's attitude could not change Nalan Yanran's decision.

Today, her mind is made up!

This engagement must be broken off, no matter what!

Otherwise, she felt she would regret it for the rest of her life.

If that's the case, then someone must take responsibility.

In Nalan Yanran's opinion, this was already a very considerate move towards Xiao Zhan's face; otherwise, she would have ignored Xiao Yan, forcibly dissolved the engagement, and then announced it to the public!

"Nalan Yanran, you don't need to put on such a domineering stance. I, Xiao Yan, became a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven, while you, Nalan Yanran, what level of Dou Qi were you at twelve? Yes, I am indeed a piece of trash now, but since I was able to create a miracle three years ago, what makes you think I can't turn things around again in the years to come?"

"Nalan Yanran, for the sake of Old Master Nalan, I, Xiao Yan, will also offer you a few words of advice."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young person's potential!"

Faced with the aggressive Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan finally erupted from his silence and uttered this classic line!

Immediately, he ignored Nalan Yanran's icy expression, turned around abruptly, walked quickly to the table, picked up a pen, and began to write furiously!

Finally, he forcefully pulled his hand away from the still-clotting blood, leaving a glaring bloodstain on the white paper!

"I will lose the slightest interest in you in less than three years! I, Xiao Yan, have agreed to the three-year agreement, but this contract is not a dissolution of the engagement, but a letter of divorce from the Xiao family! From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, will have no further connection with the Xiao family!"

Thus, the three-year agreement was finally settled!

I must say, watching it live is much more exciting than hearing about it from others.

Even Ziyan, who was only interested in drugs, was drawn in by this good show and watched the whole thing without realizing it.

Despite feeling no joy at the prospect of fulfilling the three-year agreement, Xiao Zhan was absolutely supportive of Xiao Yan. He immediately stopped giving face to the three members of the Yunlan Sect and had the steward see them off.

After Nalan Yanran and the other two left, Xiao Yan turned around and came to Hai Bodong and Chen Xiao.

"I apologize for the commotion, guests. And thank you, Ice Emperor and Chen Xiao, for your words. You are right. I am already in this state, and the worst that can happen is death."

Hai Bodong shook his head slightly. After watching the show, he lost interest in Xiao Yan.

Chen Xiao then took over the conversation.

"I didn't do anything, you don't need to thank me. Now that your business is finished, it's time to talk about our business."

Ziyan was quite frightened by you smashing the cup just now.

Zi Yan leaned back slightly, giving Xiao Yan a strange look, practically screaming "I need to apologize!"

In fact, her emotions came and went quickly.

So much time has passed, and I'm no longer as angry as I was at the beginning.

Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, recalling the previous events, and it seemed that such a thing was indeed true.

Without hesitation, he clasped his hands together and apologized to Zi Yan.

"It was indeed my oversight, please forgive me, Miss Ziyan."

Three years of being a useless person had already shattered his former sharpness. Moreover, it was indeed his fault, so he would feel even less guilty after apologizing.

Xiao Yan has indeed grown a lot.

Chen Xiao looked at Zi Yan and let her decide for herself.

Once he calmed down, Little Dragon was quite generous and didn't dwell on the matter.

"Okay, I'll reluctantly accept your apology."

Seeing this, Chen Xiao didn't say anything more.

Having watched the excitement, he immediately gave Hai Bodong a wink, and together they got up to say goodbye.

Xiao Zhan did want to persuade them to stay, but seeing that Chen Xiao had no intention of staying overnight at the Xiao family's house, he could only suppress the thought and personally saw the four of them out of the Xiao family's gate.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, after leaving the reception hall, went straight to the back mountain.

Nalan Yanran's assertiveness today made him feel very aggrieved.

Therefore, he needed to vent his frustrations alone and also needed some quiet time to seriously consider the three-year agreement.

After all, even he himself doesn't see any chance of winning at the moment.

"I don't want to suffer this humiliation again! Three years from now, it'll just be death anyway!"

As he spread out his right hand, which bore a striking scar, Xiao Yan's voice was hoarse yet resolute.

Just as he made up his mind, a strange, aged laugh rang out and entered Xiao Yan's ears.

"Hehe, little one, looks like you really need help?"

After hiding for many years and spying in the shadows for who knows how many years, Yao Chen finally appeared slowly in front of Xiao Yan tonight.

For those with autism, I am your barrier-breaker!
