A Diary of a Character in Battle Through the Heavens! The Female Characters Have Gone Wrong!

Chapter 19 My disciple, you really have wild ideas!
"Teacher, they're all bullying me."

"That Xiao Yan, he didn't agree to annul the engagement, and even said he wanted to divorce me."

“What’s even worse is his cousin, who scolded me and called me an ingrate.”

"I just... I just don't want to marry a stranger. I didn't mean for things to get this bad, sob sob~"

In Yun Yun's arms, Nalan Yanran seemed to find an outlet for her pent-up grievances, which poured out.

After a day and a night of reflection, the spoiled but discerning girl realized that Chu Xiao's words were indeed correct.

She can break off the engagement if she wants, but she can't just use the name of Yunlan Sect to force the engagement to break off the engagement without her grandfather's permission, and do it in such a high-profile manner.

She had enjoyed the benefits brought by her family, and if she did not want a marriage alliance, she should have handled it in a more gentle way, instead of embarrassing both the Xiao and Nalan families and damaging the image of the Yunlan Sect as she has done now.

The essence of a marriage alliance is a cooperation of interests. With Xiao Yan becoming a cripple, the Xiao family, if they weren't stupid, would know how to handle this engagement. But now, because of her, they've come to annul the engagement, which could potentially create enmity between the two families.

"Teacher, did I...did I do something wrong?"

Seeing that Yun Yun didn't respond, Nalan Yanran raised her head, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't you already have the answer?" Yun Yun gently rubbed Nalan Yanran's face. "Your idea is right, but your method is wrong."

Ultimately, the meaning of Chu Xiao's words can be summed up in these eight words.

Marriage is meant to be a way to bind interests and deepen cooperation between two forces. The Nalan family also cares about their reputation, which is why they did not take the initiative to propose annulment.

Although strength is paramount in the Dou Qi Continent, and the Yunlan Sect is powerful enough that a few Dou Ling elders could wipe out the Xiao family several times over.

But you relied on your strength to destroy the Xiao family. Then that Dou Zong will not like you and will destroy the Yunlan Sect for fun.

That would only throw the entire Dou Qi Continent into chaos. Apart from the Black Corner Region, other regions would not openly do such a thing.

Unless it's something sinister or an act of enmity, you still need a legitimate reason to take action.

The marriage agreement was a private matter between the Xiao and Nalan families, and the Yunlan Sect's forced intervention was not justifiable in name.

Now that Yunshan is in seclusion, the strongest force of Yunlan Sect is only Yun Yun, a Dou Huang. They are no match for the royal family, which has the Youhai Jiao Beast (an injured eight-star Dou Huang) and the peak Dou Huang plus Xing Tian. Not to mention the three major families, countless armies, and Dou Wang who are stationed in fortresses and important cities, who are nominally subordinate to the royal family.

In comparison, the Yunlan Sect might not even be as strong as the Snake-People Clan as a whole, and they are not yet at the point where they can act with impunity.

Within the Gama Empire, rules still apply.

"Teacher, what should we do now?" Nalan Yanran asked, looking down in frustration.

Even her teacher, Yun Yun, a Dou Huang powerhouse, isn't on her side, so there's no point in arguing about it.

“Before answering this question, the teacher needs to know exactly how you did it.” Yun Yun patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Nalan Yanran to sit down.

"When I promised to annul the engagement, I warned you to speak properly first. If the Xiao family had persisted and acted without restraint, and then brought up the name of the Yunlan Sect, things shouldn't have developed into this situation."

If the Yunlan Sect wanted to use its power to intimidate others, it wouldn't have allowed Nalan Yanran to bring a fourth-grade pill to their door.

This pill wasn't a resource from the sect; it was privately crafted by Elder Guhe, an honorary elder of the sect, at Yun Yun's request.

If they really didn't care, the Yunlan Sect should have just sent a Douling expert to deliver the message, "Your Xiao Yan has become a piece of trash, yet you still haven't taken the initiative to dissolve the marriage with our sect leader's disciple. You're courting death."

It wouldn't be a problem to directly eliminate Xiao Yan, or to secretly cooperate with the other two families in Wutan City to wipe out the Xiao family.

From the very beginning, Yun Yun was prepared to first try diplomacy and then resort to force.

"this."

Nalan Yanran hesitated.

"Is there anything embarrassing about this?" Yun Yun frowned slightly.

Facing a Dou Huang level expert, Nalan Yanran was still somewhat afraid and lowered her head: "Teacher, I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll think I'm shirking responsibility." "Shirking responsibility?" This statement made Yun Yun wary, and she deliberately put on a stern face: "Tell me everything, and I will make my own decision."

"Yes." Nalan Yanran cleared her throat and obediently recounted, "When we arrived at Wutan City, I originally wanted to go by myself, but Mohen said he was willing to accompany me."

"I thought that breaking off the engagement was not a good thing, so having someone accompany me would give me courage, and I did not refuse."

"Before I left, Elder Ge Ye heard about this matter and suggested that I accompany him. He said that I would talk about the matter then, and if the Xiao family refused or made exorbitant demands, he could step in to protect my safety. I agreed after thinking about it."

"Can we wait until the Xiao family?"

Nalan Yanran's subsequent narration describes what happened in the Xiao family's main hall.

Ge Ye is a Great Dou Master, which Xiao Zhan knew immediately upon sensing him.

Upon learning that he was an elder of the Yunlan Sect, they gave him an even warmer welcome.

At that time, she felt it was inappropriate to bring up the matter of annulling the engagement, but after exchanging pleasantries with Xiao Zhan, Ge Ye steered the conversation toward her.

She said it as she pleased, it was her own business, but after she finished speaking, Ge Ye took out the Qi Gathering Powder and said it was compensation.

The situation then became that the Xiao family had given them a high-profile and polite welcome, but the engagement was called off in public, and Ge Ye even used the Qi Gathering Powder to humiliate them, adding fuel to the fire.

She herself has a bad temper, and after being provoked by Xiao Yan, she started saying all sorts of harsh words without any regard for the consequences.

Ultimately, things turned out this way.

"Hmph!" Yun Yun's eyes turned cold: "It seems Ge Ye did this on purpose."

"Huh?" Nalan Yanran blinked in confusion: "Why did Elder Ge Ye do this?"

“You don’t need to know too much about this matter yet.” Yun Yun gently shook her head: “Remember, in the future, in the Yunlan Sect, don’t trust anyone more than me, and think twice before you act.”

Ge Ye took disciples of the Mo family as his students, while the Yancheng Mo family was affiliated with the Yunlan Sect.

On the surface, the Mo family is loyal to her, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, but in reality, the Yunlan Sect is divided into two factions.

She and her teacher Yunshan were both conservatives who advocated for win-win cooperation and orderly development with the royal family of the Jiama Empire.

The elders' council, led by the First Elder Yun Leng, is a radical faction that believes they should devote all their efforts to development, expanding their territory and recruiting loyal followers. The head of the Mo family has a very close personal relationship with Yun Leng.

"I thought Ge Ye was from a humble background and wouldn't get too close to them, but I was too naive."

A cold glint flashed deep in Yun Yun's eyes.

Since Yunshan was seriously injured and went into seclusion, Yunling and the elders have become increasingly assertive.

Although she was the sect leader and the only Dou Huang powerhouse in the sect, she couldn't do anything when they weren't harming the sect and were instead focused on developing it.

Taking Nalan Yanran as her disciple was originally a compromise she made with the elders, getting them to agree to slow down the development. However, after getting to know her, she found that this disciple was indeed quite good.

Unexpectedly, they secretly reached out to Nalan Yanran, attempting to influence this young sect leader from the root.

“Yes, teacher!” Nalan Yanran immediately bowed and replied.

Then, she pursed her lips and asked, "Teacher, could you do Yanran a small favor?"

"Hmm?" Yun Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Help me beat up that Chu Xiao!" Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth.

Yunyun: ?
You really dare to think so.
