He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

Wang Mang said anxiously, "Master, I am not talking nonsense."

“He really can’t speak. I haven’t seen him utter a single word since I first met him.”

“Before, at the foot of the mountain, when he was hungry, he would gesture to his disciples with his hands.”

Xiao Xuan: "..."

"Why is this big oaf so honest? He says everything. Doesn't Xiao Xuan have any pride?" Xiao Xuan thought to himself.

System 006 immediately chimed in, "The host is right, Wang Mang was just a big, dumb idiot."

Xiao Xuan: "..."

Song Yan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Not only him, but Song Zhixi and Yan Yun, who were originally attracted by Xiao Xuan's appearance, were also shocked.

Song Yan: "Nephew Xiao, is what Wang Mang said true?"

Xiao Xuan nodded with a normal expression.

He was indeed unable to speak at that moment, which wasn't exactly lying.

So, he nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

At this point, Song Yan could no longer keep a cold face.

He softened his voice and asked, "Nephew, have you truly come to dissolve the engagement?"

Xiao Xuan nodded again.

At the same time, he once again handed the marriage contract and tokens in his hand towards Song Yan.

Song Yan stepped down from the platform and took the item from Xiao Xuan's hand.

He took out the things that Pavilion Master Xiao had left for the Crimson Cloud Sect from his spatial ring.

Xiao Xuan was initially hesitant about whether to accept the token left by the Xiao family.

After realizing that the token was his life tablet, he accepted it without any guilt.

Since it's his own destiny token, there's no reason for it to be leaked.

Within the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, each member of the clan has a life tablet made at birth, which is then stored in the pavilion.

As for his own belongings, he was completely unaware that they were not in the pavilion but had been given to the Crimson Cloud Sect.

The moment Xiao Xuan accepted the life tablet, 006's delighted voice rang in his mind, "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the first main quest, 'A Dignified Annulment of the Engagement'."

"Ding, you have been awarded 1000 points, one chance to win a prize, and 10 years of life points."

System 006: "Host, host, we're rich now."

Xiao Xuan was also somewhat happy, "Mm."

Now that the engagement has been successfully annulled, Xiao Xuan has no intention of staying at the Crimson Cloud Sect any longer.

He bowed to Song Yan, and without waiting for anyone's reaction, he turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Wang Mang quickly followed.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, Yan Yun turned and left, following Wang Mang at a distance.

Song Yan watched the boy's composed departure and shook his head with some regret.

After the person had disappeared from sight, Song Zhixi belatedly whispered, "Father, has my engagement been dissolved?"

Song Yan stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Yes, it's been lifted."

After speaking, flames gathered in his palm, burning the marriage contract in his hand to ashes.

Seeing this, Song Zhixi felt both pleased and inexplicably uneasy.

On the one hand, the annulment of the engagement was naturally the best thing for her.

Since it was the other party who took the initiative, she didn't need to bear the negative consequences.

On the other hand, she felt that she was so outstanding, with good looks, talent, and status, that she had lost face by being jilted by a mere mortal.

Moreover, the other party withdrew so decisively and without any hesitation, making all my worries over the years seem like a complete joke.

I couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Song Yan immediately saw through Song Zhixi's thoughts, stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. It's a good thing that the engagement was dissolved so smoothly."

Song Zhixi said somewhat uninterestedly, "Zhixi understands, thank you, Father."

Wang Mang quickened his pace to catch up with Xiao Xuan. "Young Master Xiao, where are you going? Are you going back to Tianji Pavilion? Let me take you back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan stopped and shook his head at Wang Mang.
