Chapter 8: Righteous Xiao Yan
"Oh, I just thought of something funny, go ahead and ignore me."
Gu Changqing quickly waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yan and the other man to continue. He took out a watermelon from somewhere, cut half of it and gave it to Xiao Xun'er, and the two watched the show together.
Seeing Gu Changqing's eyes as if he was watching a monkey performance, Xiao Yan felt anger rising in his heart, but he didn't want to get angry with Gu Changqing.
He could only turn his gaze to Nalan Yanran and said gloomily:
"Miss Nalan, what do you think?"
"you"
Nalan Yanran was not a person who was very good at arguing, or rather, she was not good at sophistry, and even less good at changing concepts and making specious arguments.
She was at her wit's end. She stamped her feet in desperation and looked at the young man in front of her with disgust. She said:
"What do you want in exchange for breaking off the engagement? Do you think the compensation is too little? Well, I can ask the teacher to give you three more Qi Gathering Powders. In addition, if you are willing, I can also let you enter the Yunlan Sect to practice advanced fighting skills. Is this enough?"
Nalan Yanran was not a rude and unreasonable person. She just lost her composure for a moment because of Xiao Yan's specious arguments and his shifting of concepts.
However, the sensitive Xiao Yan seemed to have been touched by Nalan Yanran in the most painful part of his heart.
The originally pretty face turned hideous and terrifying, and the body was trembling like a zombie or a ghost.
"what"
Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and let out a loud shout, the sound was so sharp and piercing that it startled everyone in the hall.
"I really want to kill you!"
Xiao Yan stared at Nalan Yanran with resentment, uttering sinister words.
Nalan Yanran had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she stepped back twice, her face turned pale.
"Tsk tsk."
Gu Changqing smacked his lips and shook his head speechlessly.
An issue that could have been resolved peacefully turned out so badly because of Xiao Yan's fragile and sensitive heart.
She was polite and courteous, brought gifts of apology, tried to persuade you in a kind way, and even gave you the initiative to cancel the engagement.
He started by changing the subject and making specious arguments, saying that the other party broke off the engagement forcefully and then blamed others for being wrong. It was really outrageous.
"Xiao Yan, although I don't know why my actions made you so angry, but, will you still cancel the engagement?"
Look at him, he's going crazy and even confused Nalan Yanran.
Didn’t she just come to persuade the couple to cancel the engagement?
There's no need to go crazy even if you're unhappy.
It was as if she had killed Xiao Yan's biological mother.
"Please remember that my visit to the Xiao family this time was approved by my teacher, the leader of the Yunlan Sect. You can regard this as coercion, but you should also know that this is the reality. Nothing is absolutely fair. Although I don't want to say anything, you also know the gap between you and me. We basically have no hope."
Fearing that Xiao Yan would really rush over and bite madly, Nalan Yanran could only bring out Yun Yun to help her calm the situation.
However, she still wanted to try to reason with Xiao Yan.
However, Xiao Yan's logic doesn't make sense.
"Ms. Nalan, you should know how embarrassing it is for a man to regret his marriage in the Douqi Continent. Haha, I'm thick-skinned, but that's okay, but my father! He's the head of the family. If he really agrees to your request today, how will he manage the Xiao family in the future? How can he gain a foothold in Wutan City?"
Xiao Yan gave another long speech.
puff!
Gu Changqing really couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Then, he quickly sat up straight, facing everyone's gazes, and said with a smile:
"You go on, you go on."
"Qingdi, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Xun'er quietly moved her little butt, moved closer to Gu Changqing, and asked in a low voice.
Gu Changqing glanced at Xiao Xun'er and said jokingly:
"Sister Xun'er, do you think Xiao Yan is doing this for himself or for his father?"
Xiao Xun'er blinked and said in a naive tone:
"Does it make any difference?"
Gu Changqing smiled.
"Uncle Xiao took the position of clan leader based on his own ability, not because of his son's promotion. Whether he can hold on to the position of clan leader depends on whether he has the ability, not on whether his son has been broken off from marriage."
"If my son's marriage is broken off, his position as clan leader will be taken away. Then why should he practice cultivation? Then why does he need abilities?"
"What do you mean by saying that you can't let anyone break off the engagement just to keep your dad on his feet? That's hilarious."
"If this kind of thing can affect the position of the clan leader, then he was immoral and tyrannical three years ago, and he has been a complete waste in the past three years. Wouldn't his father have been abandoned thousands of times?"
"I laugh at some people who change concepts, make specious arguments, and pretend to be high-sounding. They are so hypocritical!"
Gu Changqing shook his head and looked speechlessly at the "righteous" person in the field.
"So that's it."
Xiao Xun'er also suddenly realized what was going on, and looked towards Xiao Yan with undisguised disgust.
It’s okay if you can’t accept it, but it shows you’re a real man if you admit it generously.
It is so hypocritical to use your own father as a banner.
At this moment, after a struggle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan said something shocking again.
"Nalan Yanran, you don't have to act so strong. You want to cancel the engagement because you think that I, Xiao Yan, a loser, am not worthy of a daughter of heaven like you. To be blunt, apart from your beauty, I don't care about anything else about you!"
"The Yunlan Sect is indeed very strong, but I am still young and I still have plenty of time. I became a fighter when I was twelve years old. And you, Nalan Yanran, what level of fighting power were you at the age of twelve?"
"Yes, I am indeed a waste now, but since I was able to create a miracle three years ago, why do you think I can't turn things around in the future?"
"Miss Nalan, for the sake of old man Nalan, Xiao Yan would like to give you a few words of advice. Don't look down on the poor young people!"
Xiao Yan is a man who speaks in a very logical way.
The last sentence even caused Xiao Zhan, who was present, to praise him again and again.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan wrote another letter of divorce and agreed to a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran.
Finally, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Xiao Zhan.
With tears in his eyes he cried out:
"Father, three years later, Yan'er will go to Yunlan Sect and personally wash away today's humiliation for you!"
After saying that, he stood up and strode out.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a faint voice sounded in the hall.
Then, a tall and slender figure slowly stood up from the front of the hall.
"Uh, I can't help it. Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in today's affairs, but I always want to step in and help out when I encounter something I don't like. Uncle Xiao, elders, do you mind if I stand up and say a few more words?"
Gu Changqing looked at Xiao Zhan, the Great Elder and others with a smile and asked politely.

Chapter 9: Angrily scolds Xiao Yan, Xun Er takes action
"Changqing, what do you want to say?"
The Xiao family's eldest elder asked with a pleasant expression.
In the Xiao family, because Gu Changqing once stopped Xiao Yan from peeking at Xiao Yu, the Great Elder Xiao had a good impression of Gu Changqing and took good care of him in many aspects.
For example, now, before Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, he took the initiative to ask Gu Changqing.
Of course, with the status of Great Elder Xiao, it would not be a big deal to ask about such a small matter without going through Xiao Zhan.
"Well, it's like this. After listening to what the Third Young Master said just now, I also have some feelings."
"I heard from the Third Young Master that if Miss Nalan breaks off the engagement, Uncle Xiao will not be able to secure the position of clan leader. I would like to ask the Third Young Master, did Uncle Xiao become the clan leader by his own ability, by the clan members' recommendation, or by his sons?"
Gu Changqing asked with a smile as he looked at Xiao Yan who had already walked near the gate.
"Gu Changqing, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yan's face darkened and he looked at Gu Changqing grimly and asked.
"Oh, like I said, I just wanted to stand out when I encountered something I didn't like."
"Since the Third Young Master said that your engagement has been broken off, Uncle Xiao will not be able to secure his position as the clan leader, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in Wutan City."
"Then I want to ask, three years ago, when the Third Young Master relied on his talent to bully people in Wutan City, molested little girls, peeped at others taking baths, sneaked into little girls' boudoirs and bedrooms, and did all kinds of embarrassing things, did he ever think about whether Uncle Xiao could keep his position as the patriarch? Did he ever think about whether Uncle Xiao could gain a foothold in Wutan City?"
"In the past three years, when you have no talent at all, have been ridiculed by the world, are disliked, and insulted by everyone, why can Uncle Xiao still sit firmly on the position of clan leader? And still have a foothold in Wutan City?"
"Why do you think Uncle Xiao can't hold on to his position as the clan leader when he just came to ask to cancel the engagement, not forcefully?"
"Are you worried about your father, or are you worried about your own pitiful self-esteem?"
"Third Master, can you explain this to me?"
Gu Changqing was merciless and questioned Xiao Yan sharply.
In the Xiao family, the relationship between Xiao Yan and Gu Changqing is not just a matter of bad relations.
Due to Xiao Yan's misbehavior, Gu Changqing caught him many times, so the conflict between the two was actually very deep.
"Gu Changqing, are you provoking me?"
Xiao Yan's face looked very ugly.
Especially when he felt the strange looks coming at him from all around, and Nalan Yanran's eyes that suddenly seemed to have realized something and looked at him with undisguised disgust and contempt.
He couldn't bear it anymore and even wanted to rush up and tear Gu Changqing into pieces.
"Provocation? Just telling the truth."
Gu Changqing smiled indifferently.
"If I hadn't been there in person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had much say."
"But what happened today, I and everyone present saw it clearly."
"Mr. Ge Ye and Miss Nalan were very polite and courteous. They brought gifts of apology and gave Uncle Xiao the initiative to cancel the engagement."
"Originally, this matter was just a matter of a word from Uncle Xiao. It was resolved peacefully and we can coexist in friendship."
"But you jumped out to meddle in other people's business, and even twisted the situation from someone coming to your house to ask you to cancel the engagement to someone coming to your house to forcefully cancel the engagement."
"They also used the moral kidnapping that the two old men would not be able to cancel the engagement unless they spoke up."
"I want to say, Third Young Master, ask yourself, with your moral character and the way you are now, if Old Master Xiao were to be reborn, would he be ashamed and unwilling to harm his old friend, and would he take the initiative to go to him and ask him to cancel the engagement?"
"Now, you are still pestering me like this, and you even pretended to write a ridiculous divorce letter. Aren't you flattering yourself too much?"
Gu Changqing has no good feelings towards Xiao Yan. He is despicable and dirty, but he still hypocritically waves the banner.
What a mean person! He still thinks highly of others.
He doesn't even dare to admit that he can't stand the insult, but he brings up his own father and says he is clearing his father's name. Why does Gu Changqing respect him?
"you!"
"Gu Changqing, I really want to kill you!"
Xiao Yan was so embarrassed that he lost all his dignity.
With a ferocious face, he stared at Gu Changqing like a devil, gnashing his teeth and roaring in hatred.
Swish!
The next second, a golden figure suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yan.
