This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Of course, things don't always go according to common sense. Unlike what Nalan Yanran expected, Xiao Yan did not act as if he was glad to accept it or even grateful. Instead, his whole body began to tremble, and his originally handsome face was replaced by hideous anger.

Although Xiao Yan had been ridiculed for three years and he was used to it, it did not mean that he was a soft persimmon that could be bullied by everyone. In Xiao Yan's heart, he had his bottom line of dignity. He could tolerate and even not care about ordinary ridicule and disdain, but now Nalan Yanran's low EQ and reckless remarks and attitude completely violated this bottom line.

"Ah..." Frightened by the young man's ferocious appearance, the girl quickly took a step back. Seeing this, Mo Li on the side suddenly drew out his sword, pointing coldly at Xiao Yan. As long as Xiao Yan dared to take a step forward, he would take action immediately. As for how to deal with him afterwards, he would just kill him if he was just a waste. He didn't believe that the Xiao family, a mere family, had the guts to challenge his Mo family.

But the next second, the long sword in Mo Li's hand suddenly slipped out of his hand and hit his foot with a clang. He grimaced in pain. Fortunately, it was only the side. If it was the blade that hit him, Mo Li would probably have to rush to see a doctor to replant the severed limb.

"Senior Brother Mo Li, what happened to you?" Nalan Yanran was also shocked. She knew Mo Li's strength well, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake as dropping his hand. Then...

"If you don't have the ability, don't show off. If you can't even hold an iron sword, you'd better start with a wooden sword, otherwise you might fall." Void Swallowing Flame taunted.

"You..." Mo Li and Nalan Yanran stared at Xuwu Tunyan with hatred. Anyone could guess that he was the one who caused the attack just now, but they had just witnessed him pinching Ge Ye with their own eyes, so they did not dare to attack.

"It's useless to glare at me, let's talk business." Xuwu Tunyan shrugged, then came to Xiao Yan's side, gently pressed his shoulders, and the invisible fighting spirit wiped out the violence in Xiao Yan's heart, "Master Xiao Yan, now is the time to prove yourself. Tell this spoiled Miss Nalan Yanran that you are definitely not a coward, and you will not be so cheap as to bow your head for such a small donation."

Encouraged by this, Xiao Yan's clenched fists relaxed, and he lowered his head slightly. After a moment, he raised it again, but the previous ferocious horror had disappeared. Nalan Yanran in front of him was the darling of the Yunlan Sect. If he really did something to her now, it would probably bring countless troubles to his father, so he couldn't vent his anger at this moment, but as Xuwu Tunyan said, he couldn't be so cheap as to pinch his nose and admit it.

“It would be fine if this kid remained a waste in the future, but if he really had power, he would definitely be a dangerous person.” Seeing Xiao Yan’s appearance, Ge Ye’s heart trembled. Even with the comfort of the man in black, for a person who could endure what ordinary people could not endure, once he had power, it would be like having an extra sword of Damocles that could take their lives at any time for their enemies.

"Xiao Yan, although I don't know why my actions have made you so angry, you should... cancel the engagement!" Nalan Yanran let out a sigh of relief, calming down from the previous shock, and said with a slightly gloomy face. "Please remember that my coming to the Xiao family this time was personally approved by my teacher, the leader of the Yunlan Sect!"

"Wow, so your leader's thinking is also very progressive. I admire him." Void Tunyan teased, which was of course also sarcastic.

Everyone else had black lines on their faces and sweat drops. The leader of the Yunlan Sect was a Douhuang powerful person. How dare Xu Yan mock him so unscrupulously? He was really bold.

Pursing her lips, Nalan Yanran tilted her head slightly and said helplessly: "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 express anything, you also know the gap between you and me. We basically have no hope."

After hearing these pretentious words, Xuwu Tunyan retorted, "Miss Nalan, you don't think that he is only angry about you breaking off the engagement with him? It is true that you are beautiful and capable, but you are too naive. Do you really think that you are so beautiful that any man would go crazy for you? Haha."

Xiao Yan sneered: "Miss Nalan... You should know how embarrassing it is for a woman to regret her marriage in the Douqi Continent! My father! He is the head of the clan. If I really agree to your request today, I will be laughed at. I am thick-skinned and I can bear it, but what about my father?! How will he manage the Xiao family in the future? How can he gain a foothold in Wutan City?"

Looking at the young man with a face filled with rage, Nalan Yanran frowned slightly. She glanced at Xiao Zhan, who seemed to have aged a lot in the first seat, and felt a little apologetic in her heart. After all, with her brain, she had never considered this factor at all.

Of course, it was impossible for Nalan Yanran to admit her mistake. Nalan Yanran pondered for a moment, her eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly said softly: "Yanran was indeed a little reckless today. Today, I can temporarily withdraw my request to cancel the engagement, but I need you to promise me a promise!"

"What agreement?" Xiao Yan asked with a frown. The others were also a little confused, only Xuwu Tunyan narrowed his eyes slightly. This drama was finally about to reach its climax.

“I can postpone today’s request for three years. After three years, you come to Yunlan Sect to challenge me. If you lose, I will cancel the engagement in public. By that time, I believe you will have completed the family’s coming-of-age ceremony. Therefore, even if you lose, it will not embarrass Uncle Xiao. Do you dare to accept it?” Nalan Yanran said calmly.

"Haha... Miss Nalan is really an expert at playing dumb. As the next leader of the Yunlan Sect, you have Gu He's elixirs as your aid, while the Xiao family doesn't even have a decent alchemist. In addition, your own strength has never declined. This agreement was unequal from the beginning. It was a good calculation."

Xuwu Tunyan sarcastically said that if Xiao Yan had not been lucky enough to meet Yao Lao, and had not endured humiliation and practiced hard for three years, coupled with a series of adventures, Xiao Yan would probably have been defeated miserably by Nalan Yanran in a certain IF line. Of course, he would not be so nice as to tell Nalan Yanran that she would lose miserably in the future, but even if he told her, she would not believe it.

"Ms. Nalan, you are aware of Yan'er's condition. What do you want him to challenge you with? Is it fun to insult him like this?" Xiao Zhan couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table hard, cracking it.

"Uncle Xiao, someone has to take responsibility for breaking off an engagement. If it weren't for saving your face, Yanran would have forcibly broken off the engagement right now! And announced it to the public!"

After being blocked several times, Nalan Yanran became a little impatient. She turned around and shouted at the silent Xiao Yan, "Since you don't want Uncle Xiao to lose face, then accept the agreement! Three years later or now, do you choose the former or the latter?"

"Finally you stopped pretending. I hate this about you. If there is something, why can't you just say it openly? You have to hide it and pretend to be a riddler. Only when you are exposed do you tear your faces apart. It's so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous that I am about to vomit the food I ate the night before."

Nalan Yanran glared at Xuwu Tunyan fiercely, but Xuwu Tunyan turned his head away indifferently and whistled a little tune. This contemptuous attitude made Nalan Yanran's irritability and anger even more intense.

"Nalan Yanran, you don't have to be so strong. You want to cancel the engagement because you think I, Xiao Yan, am a waste and unworthy of you, a daughter of heaven. To be blunt, apart from your beauty, I don't care about anything else! The Yunlan Sect is indeed very strong, but I'm still young and I still have time. I became a fighter when I was twelve years old. And you, Nalan Yanran, how many stages of fighting spirit were you when you were 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 again in the years to come?"

“In fact, after you go to more places, you will find that the Yunlan Sect’s strength is nothing compared to the enemies you meet later…” After hearing [The Yunlan Sect is indeed very strong], Xuwu Tunyan covered his mouth and tried not to laugh.

Nalan Yanran was so angry at Xiao Yan's evaluation of her that her face turned blue, but she was powerless to refute it, because Xiao Yan was indeed right. Xiao Yan became a fighter at the age of twelve, while Nalan Yanran at that time was only at the eighth level of fighting spirit.

"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 young and poor!" Xiao Yan's cold words made Nalan Yanran tremble a few times.

"Well said! Hahaha! You are worthy of being Young Master Xiao Yan!" Although he had read the words many times, but when he saw Xiao Yan shout out these words firmly with his own eyes, Xuwu Tunyan couldn't help but applaud - unlike the applause when he mocked Nalan Yanran before, this time it was sincere.

Staring at the sneering young man in front of her with gnashing teeth, Nalan Yanran had been spoiled for many years, and had never been taught a lesson like this by her peers. She was so angry that her head was dizzy, and her voice became sharp: "Why do you teach me a lesson? Even if your talent before was unmatched, you are just a waste now! Well, I, Nalan Yanran, will wait for the day when you surpass me again. I can stop talking about canceling the engagement today, but I will wait for you in Yunlan Sect in three years. If you have the ability, you will let me see how far you can turn things around! If you can defeat me by then, I, Nalan Yanran, will be your slave for the rest of my life, and you have the final say!"

"Of course, if you are still such a waste after three years, you must hand over the contract to terminate the engagement obediently!"

Just when Nalan Yanran was feeling a little dizzy due to anger, she did not notice that there was a strange crystal ball in Xuwu Tunyan's hand.

"Hehehe, let's use this crystal ball to record this scene. It will be fun to watch later."

Of course Xiao Yan didn't notice it either, instead he laughed and mocked Nalan Yanran: "After three years, I really can't muster the slightest interest in you!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan quickly walked to the table and wrote furiously on the paper. After he finished writing, he picked up the dagger on the table and used the sharp blade to slash his left palm hard!

Xiao Yan seemed not to feel the pain, or rather, the pain was nothing compared to his current anger. He pressed his blood-stained palm hard on the white paper, leaving a conspicuous bloody handprint.

Gently picking up the blood-stained paper, Xiao Yan sneered, strode forward, and slammed the paper heavily on the table: "Don't think that I, Xiao Yan, care much about your genius wife. This contract is not a contract to dissolve the engagement, but a certificate of divorce for me to expel you from the Xiao family! From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, will no longer have any connection with my Xiao family!"

"You...you dare to divorce me?" Looking at the blood-stained contract on the table, Nalan Yanran's eyes widened. With her beauty, talent and background, she was actually divorced by a waste from a small family?

Looking coldly at Nalan Yanran's astonished expression, Xiao Yan suddenly turned around, bent his legs and knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan, kowtowed heavily, and bit his lips so hard that they almost bleed.

Although he was the one who expelled Nalan Yanran from the family, Xiao Yan knew that once the news got out, others would think that it was Nalan Yanran who forced the Xiao family to cancel the engagement with her powerful background. After all, no one would think that Xiao Yan, who was now a waste, would have the guts to divorce the future leader of the Yunlan Sect. As Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan would inevitably bear the brunt of the ridicule from the outside world.

Looking at the kneeling Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan, who understood his apology, smiled calmly and said, "I believe that my son will not be a waste for life. These rumors will be broken in the face of reality in the future."

"Patriarch Xiao, your son is truly impressive..." Xuwu Tunyan couldn't help but be moved as he watched all this.

"Father, in three years, Yan'er will go to Yunlan Sect and personally wash away today's humiliation for you!" With tears in his eyes, Xiao Yan kowtowed heavily, then stood up and walked out of the hall without hesitation. When passing by Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan paused and spoke in a light, childish voice, coldly. "In three years, I will find you!"

Nalan Yanran stared at the gradually disappearing figure in a daze. Her goal had been basically achieved, but she had an illusion that she was the loser.

"Okay, the goal has been achieved. Why are you still standing here? Do you want to stay and eat for free?" A sneer came, and Xuwu Tunyan put away the recording crystal in his hand. Everything that should be recorded was recorded. This thing will be of great use whether it is used for daily entertainment or in the future.

"Three of you, since your goal has been achieved, please go back." Xiao Zhan certainly didn't intend to be polite anymore, but he still tried to keep his tone calm, although he actually wanted to be like Xuwu Tunyan and say a few harsh words.

"Uncle Xiao, Yanran apologizes to you for what happened today. If you are free in the future, please come to visit the Nalan family!" Nalan Yanran also didn't want to stay any longer. After hurriedly bowing, she stood up and walked out of the hall. Ge Ye and Mo Li also hurriedly followed.

"Don't forget this [precious] Qi Gathering Powder of yours..." Xuwu Tunyan gently raised his fingers and waved them twice casually. The jade box "flew" into Ge Ye's hand out of thin air as if it had wings. Such exquisite skills made everyone astonished. Using fighting spirit to attract and control objects is not a rare skill, but it is not an easy task to do it so easily.

Ge Ye put the box into the ring with a vigilant look. This man in black was too weird. He must find a way to find out his background after returning.

“Miss Nalan, I hope you won’t regret your actions today. Also, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Yunlan Sect. The Douqi Continent is very big, and there are many people who are stronger than Yun Yun…”

When Nalan Yanran and the other two were about to leave, the girl's light voice, with a hint of indifference, sounded. The three of them paused, and their eyes turned to the purple-dressed girl who was gently flipping through a book in the corner.

Xiao Xun'er raised her exquisite little face from the ancient pages of the book, and suddenly a tiny golden flame emerged from her pupils.

Looking at the tiny golden flame, Ge Ye's body trembled violently, and he rushed out of the hall in a panic with Nalan Yanran and Mo Li who were wondering what was going on.

Void Devouring Flame was of course very clear about what was going on. Even if it was only a little bit, how could an ordinary Yunlan Sect elder withstand the pressure of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame?
