Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 50 Elder Qin's Clever Scheme Causes the Young Flame Emperor to Be Burdened by a Debt of Conscience

The head of the Xiao family is named Xiao Zhan. He has a dignified and imposing appearance and seems to be a very capable person. He is Xiao Yan's father.

In the reception room, Nalan Su took the initiative to greet everyone.

"Brother Xiao, it's been many years, and you're even more charming than before."

"You are... Brother Nalan?" Xiao Zhan asked, somewhat surprised.

"It is I. This is my daughter, Nalan Yanran. This is Elder Qin of the Yunlan Sect."

Qin Sheng nodded to Xiao Zhan in acknowledgment.

The patriarch of the eight ancient clans, not bad.

Among the eight great imperial clans, there are many clan leaders at the Dou Sheng level, but a clan leader at the Da Dou Shi level is truly one of a kind.

Far ahead!

Gu Yuan has taken such good care of the Xiao clan; Xiao Xuan must be very pleased in the Heavenly Tomb.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Nalan Su explained his purpose for visiting.

"We've come here for the wedding of our two children. Brother Xiao, please invite Xiao Yan as well."

Nalan Su: "However, this is our private matter, so there's no need for the rest of the Xiao family to get involved. Let's just discuss it privately."

Xiao Zhan nodded, agreeing with the logic, and went to find Xiao Yan himself. Before long, the father and son arrived together.

"Hello, my name is Nalan Yanran, and I am your fiancée," Nalan Yanran said confidently.

On the way here, Xiao Zhan had already given Xiao Yan some instructions, but he still felt confused.

He knew he had a fiancée, but after so many years of not seeing her, he had completely forgotten about it. Who would have thought that his fiancée would suddenly show up at his door?

"My name is Xiao Yan."

"Very good," Qin Sheng said, praising.

"A man of exceptional appearance and talent, truly a dragon among men, with limitless potential."

"You're overly flattering."

"Child, we've come for your wedding with Yanran."

Nalan Su said, "Yanran has been accepted as a disciple by the Yunlan Sect Master and has already been established as the young sect master. If nothing unexpected happens, she will succeed as the sect master in the future."

Qin Sheng nodded; this was his permission.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat worried. The other party was the young sect leader, while his own son was only at the third level of Dou power... Could it be that they had come to annul the engagement?
Thinking of this, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the teacup.

"Therefore, the marriage of the two children may have to be postponed for a few more years. At present, Yanran should focus on her cultivation."

Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. "We understand."

Nalan Su added, "There is one more thing, Brother Xiao. Yanran will succeed as the sect leader in the future. After the two children get married, she may not be able to stay in the Xiao family."

"look……"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan understood Nalan Su's meaning, and he too became troubled.

You want the Yunlan Sect Master to abandon her sect and marry into Wutan City to be a wife and mother? Let alone others, even Xiao Zhan himself finds it absurd.

The Dou Qi Continent is ultimately a world of cultivation.

Xiao Yan had been listening quietly, but after hearing this, he was stunned.

After getting married, Nalan Yanran can't stay in the Xiao family, so does that mean I have to go to the Yunlan Sect?

No, then wouldn't I become a live-in son-in-law?
Arranged marriages are indeed a despicable feudal custom!

"This is indeed a problem," Xiao Zhan pondered, unsure of what to do.

Nalan Su: "In addition, I think we should let the two children spend more time together to get to know each other better?"

"You can't just have two complete strangers get married right away."

Qin Sheng quietly sipped his tea, letting Nalan Su handle the matter.

He has already given instructions on what to say and what to do.

"We should get to know each other more..."

Xiao Zhan looked at Nalan Yanran and remained silent for a moment.

He was too embarrassed to say that he wanted the young sect leader to come to Wutan City to accompany Xiao Yan.

Xiao Zhan looked at his eldest son, "Yan'er, why don't you go to the capital and spend some time with Yanran?"

Xiao Yan couldn't take it anymore. "Father, why weren't I informed and consulted when we got engaged?"

Qin Sheng shook his head inwardly; he was still too young and impetuous, not mature enough.

It would be inappropriate for Xiao Yan to say this, as it would make it seem like he was dissatisfied with Nalan Yanran. However, considering the original work, it actually fits his personality.

“You were just born then, so there was no way to ask for your opinion.”

Xiao Yan: "..."

"Dad, I don't think marriage is a trivial matter. We can't make such a hasty decision."

"Xiao Yan, do you look down on me?" Nalan Yanran raised an eyebrow. Qin Sheng secretly chuckled; this was truly a reversal of the natural order.

Xiao Yan quickly explained, "Miss Nalan, that's not what I meant. I just think we need to be careful about these kinds of things."

"If we're going to get married, at least we need to know each other and accept each other, right?"

"That's why I sent you to the capital. Your Uncle Nalan and the others came to discuss these matters as well," Xiao Zhan interjected.

You really are my father.

Xiao Yan had no desire to go to the capital. With only a third-stage Dou power, he was constantly ridiculed in the Xiao family.

He knew perfectly well what he would experience in the capital as the fiancé of the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Nalan Yanran pursed her lips and said, "If you don't want to go to the capital, then I'll come to Wutan City."

Looking at the girl, Xiao Yan sighed.

“Miss Nalan, you are a good person, but you are the young sect master of Yunlan Sect, and you have your own mission.”

"It was arranged by my parents and the matchmaker." Nalan Yanran indicated that she was very obedient.

Do you even understand what free love is? People who haven't received nine years of compulsory education are so hard to communicate with!
Xiao Yan was roaring in his heart.

"Yan'er, shut up!" Xiao Zhan stopped his son.

So ignorant!
Nalan Su, observing Xiao Yan's expression, said:

"Child, you seem to dislike Yanran?"

"I'm not rejecting her, I just feel this is too sudden," Xiao Yan said honestly.

"Do you have a girl you like?" Qin Sheng suddenly asked, hitting the nail on the head.

Xiao Yan was taken aback. He wanted to say no, but then he inexplicably thought of Xun'er and couldn't say anything. He could only touch his nose and give a wry smile.

His behavior made it clear to everyone present what he meant.

"Brother Nalan, I'm sorry, please wait a moment while I speak with Yan'er."

Xiao Zhan dragged Xiao Yan out with a dark face, and Xiao Yan's cries of pain could be faintly heard from outside.

Mid-level Profound Rank Technique: Raging Lion's Fury!

After a while, the father and son walked in. Xiao Yan was rubbing his shoulder, looking miserable.

"Brother Nalan, I'm sorry you had to see this," Xiao Zhan sighed.

"It is my Xiao family that has wronged the Nalan family."

Nalan Su's smile vanished. Seeing this, Xiao Zhan knew the other party had a problem with it, and feeling helpless, he said:
"Yan'er has something she wants to say to Yanran."

“Miss Nalan, you are a very good girl. You are exceptionally talented, well-educated, and respectful to your elders…” Xiao Yan said sincerely.

Nalan Yanran interrupted him, "You don't need to say anything, I understand what you mean."

“Let’s break off the engagement. This engagement will no longer prevent you from being with the person you love. As for me… I’ll finally be free and have my heart at peace. From now on, I will dedicate my life to the Yunlan Sect.”

Xiao Zhan's expression changed drastically, while Xiao Yan remained silent.

"Yanran, what nonsense are you talking about!" Nalan Su shouted.

“My mind is made up. I’ll accept whatever punishment the teacher or scolding my grandfather may give me.”

Nalan Yanran remained resolute, head held high, refusing to look at anyone, like a phoenix.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath. He really didn't want to get married, but he also had no intention of breaking off the engagement, because he was afraid of offending the Yunlan Sect.

His father's idea was to drag it out, and when Nalan Yanran became a Dou Wang and Dou Huang in the future, his son would still only have the power of a third-level Dou. Then, the marriage agreement would naturally be out of the question.

But this result...

Well, it's fine. A good-for-nothing like me shouldn't have wasted the life of such a wonderful girl.

"Miss Nalan, I'm sorry." Xiao Yan apologized sincerely.

"You are wonderful, but I am not good enough for you."

"You don't need to say that."

Nalan Yanran: "The Nalan family will not spread what happened today, so your Xiao family doesn't need to worry about anything."

Xiao Zhan sighed. What an understanding child he was. It's a pity the Xiao family missed out on him.

Xiao Yan felt increasingly guilty.

Even now, Miss Nalan is still concerned about the Xiao family's reputation. My behavior just now was really too much!
"This is my martial uncle."

Nalan Yanran solemnly introduced Qin Sheng, "He is the Grand Elder of my Yunlan Sect, a Dou Huang powerhouse, and also a sixth-grade alchemist."

"I heard that you, Xiao Yan, have some health problems, so I specially asked my uncle to come and examine you to see if he can cure you."

Xiao Zhan was shocked. A Dou Huang level expert? A sixth-grade alchemist?
This is a very important person whom even the Xiao family couldn't get in touch with during their heyday!

Xiao Yan felt a tightness in his chest. Miss Nalan had specially invited a sixth-grade alchemist to treat her, a cripple, and yet he had hurt her like this…

I am guilty, I am not human!
