In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 6 Famous Scene of the Annulment of the Engagement

really,

Just at this time,

Elder Ge Ye bowed to Xiao Zhan once again.

"Clan Chief Xiao, we have come here today mainly to ask you for a favor."

Holding the jade cup in his hand, Xiao Zhan vaguely guessed what was going on.

She glanced at her son Xiao Yan with a hint of heartache, but still managed to suppress her anger and said...

"Elder Geye, please speak frankly if you have something to say."

"If it is within the capabilities of my Xiao family, I will certainly not refuse."

Ge Ye smiled slightly, then turned to Xiao Zhan and said,

"Clan Chief Xiao, the matter I request today is related to Yanran."

"Clan Chief Xiao also knows that Nalan Yanran has been accepted as a personal disciple by the Sect Master."

"Now our sect leader is grooming her as the next successor, and she is already the young sect leader of our Yunlan Sect, which means she will be the next sect leader of the Yunlan Sect."

"Recently, the sect leader inquired about Nalan Yanran's difficulties in cultivation and learned that Nalan Yanran had been engaged to the Xiao family."

At this point, Ge Ye paused slightly and glanced at Xiao Zhan's gloomy face.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, bit his lip tightly, trying not to make a sound.

Elder Ge Ye's voice rang out again.

"It is precisely because of this marriage agreement that the young sect leader is unable to concentrate on his cultivation."

"My Yunlan Sect has strict rules. Before a disciple officially becomes the sect leader, no one is allowed to have any entanglement with any man."

"Therefore, I have come on the orders of the Sect Master to request Clan Chief Xiao to dissolve this marriage."

A "click" sound.

The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand suddenly turned into a cloud of powder.

The atmosphere inside the hall

There was a moment of silence.

Not only Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan, but also the three Xiao family elders who usually didn't get along with Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan were quite shocked by Ge Ye's words.

Although they usually looked down on Xiao Yan, this good-for-nothing.

If things had unfolded as originally planned, they would have inevitably shown their sarcasm and ridicule at this time.

However, what can you do when Xiao Zhan is just lucky?

Back then, there was not only Xiao Yan, but also an exceptionally talented adopted son.

At only fourteen years old, he has already become a three-star fighter.

He will definitely become a Dou Ling powerhouse in the future, and it's not impossible that he might even become a Dou Wang!

The future of the Xiao family will definitely fall on Xiao Ran. The three elders are not fools, so why would they speak ill of him at this time?

Mocking Xiao Yan is tantamount to disrespecting Xiao Zhan.

If we don't give Xiao Zhan face, will Xiao Ran be able to treat those three old guys well when he rises to power in the future?

Therefore, it was precisely because of Xiao Ran that Xiao Zhan's influence within the Xiao family was unknowingly increased.

Although the elders despised Xiao Yan in their hearts, they did not dare to show it too much in front of Xiao Zhan, and they paid more attention to the honor of the family.

Xiao Ran, who was lying behind the Xiao family members, didn't even lift his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

But in his heart, he was anxiously urging on.

What about the saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"?

Hurry up, otherwise...

How can I, Emperor Yan, rise again?

Xiao Ran felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange, and it was unlikely that anything exciting or infuriating would happen.

Xiao Xun'er, however, remained completely indifferent to this matter.

She simply looked down at Xiao Ran.

Her beautiful eyes reflected a desolate face.

Xiao Zhan, who was at the head of the table, gave Nalan Yanran a deep look.

Xiao Zhan's sons, including Xiao Yan, have all faced obstacles in their cultivation journey, despite their lack of talent.

However, he also had Xiao Ran, an adopted son who became a three-star fighter at the age of fourteen.

In terms of qualifications, this successor of the Yunlan Sect's leader is almost on par with Nalan Yanran in front of her.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan was still able to barely control his emotions.

He looked calmly at Nalan Yanran and asked,

"Niece Nalan, I truly envy Nalan Su for having a daughter like you!"

Nalan Yanran looked up, about to say something.

Xiao Yan also spoke up.

"Nalan Yanran, right?"

"I ask you, is Master Nalan aware that you have come today to dissolve the engagement?"

Nalan Yanran was slightly taken aback, then said in a cold voice,

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with Grandpa."

Xiao Yan chuckled, his gaze fixed on Nalan Yanran's face as he spoke.

"Since Elder Nalan has not spoken, then I apologize."

"The marriage was arranged personally by both families' grandfathers!"

"Since they haven't spoken up to dissolve the marriage, no one dares to break it off!"

"Otherwise, it would be blasphemy against our deceased elders."

"Surely the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, the future heir, wouldn't do something so disobedient?"

Nalan Yanran blushed, then let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, it was my grandfather who arranged this marriage, not me."

"If you're determined to marry into this family, then you should go to the capital and marry my grandfather."

"Cough cough cough!"

These words immediately caused everyone's jaws to drop in astonishment.

The sounds of people choking echoed throughout the reception hall.

Xiao Ran, who was lying on Xiao Xun'er's beautiful legs with his eyes closed to rest, suddenly started coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough!"

Xiao Xun'er quickly reached out her delicate white hand and gently stroked Xiao Ran's back.

"Brother Xiao Ran, are you alright?"

Xiao Ran shook his head blankly, and said in astonishment,

"I never imagined that this young girl, Nalan, would utter such shocking words!"

"The young sect master of the Yunlan Sect is terrifyingly powerful!"

Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Actually, Brother Xiao Ran, if I were Nalan Yanran, I might have made the same choice."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes, filled with shyness and embarrassment, fell on Xiao Ran's face.

Xiao Ran smiled and reached out to gently scrape Xiao Xun'er's nose.

"You are different from her."

"Nalan Yanran heard that Xiao Yanzi had lost his talent and felt that he was not good enough for her, so she rushed over to break off the engagement."

"Three years ago, Nalan Yanran was already the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect."

"If the sect rules were truly too strict and would affect cultivation, and you wanted to annul the engagement, you would have done so three years ago when Nalan Yanran became a disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master."

"Why wait until today to come?"

"However, I believe in our Xun'er."

"I would absolutely never tolerate being in such a marriage, wouldn't you agree?"

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Ran is so smart!"

Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Just then, the system's voice came to Xiao Ran's mind.

[Host detected to be in a state of heightened arousal. Please lie down immediately!]

[Please lie down quickly! Otherwise, the lying-down timer will be reset to zero!]

[Please lie down as soon as possible, host!]

Hearing the system's warning, Xiao Ran rolled his eyes in exasperation.

He closed his eyes again and lay on Xiao Xun'er's warm, smooth legs.

Let alone Xiao Ran, even Xiao Yan, who is currently confronting Nalan Yanran,
