Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Inside the ancient box, a pill the size of a longan was emitting an alluring fragrance.

In the Dou Qi Continent, to become a true Dou Zhe, one needs to condense Dou Qi vortex within their body. However, there is a high failure rate in condensing Dou Qi vortex. Once one fails, not only will their Dou Qi drop from the ninth level to the eighth level, but it may even damage their meridians, making it impossible to condense Dou Qi again.

The purpose of the Qi Gathering Powder is to enable a person with a ninth-level Dou Qi to successfully condense a Dou Qi vortex with a 100% success rate!

This effect makes it highly sought after and coveted by countless aspiring fighters.

Now, the Yunlan Sect is offering a Qi Gathering Powder as compensation, which is equivalent to the Xiao family being able to reliably produce a Dou Zhe. If a talented disciple were to take it, it would not only save time, but the family might even produce a Great Dou Shi or even a Dou Ling expert. Thinking of this, the elders looked at the box with envy.

"Elder Ge Ye, you should take the pills back. We may not agree to what you're asking today!"

The murmurs in the hall abruptly ceased, and all eyes turned to Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the corner. It was he who had just spoken.

"Xiao Yan, who gave you the right to speak here? Shut up!" One of the elders, who was thinking about how to get the Qi Gathering Powder to his grandson, heard Xiao Yan's words and his face darkened as he shouted angrily.

"It's none of my business. The people who really have nothing to do with this matter are you. Regardless of whether I agree or not, it's not up to the three elders to decide on this Qi Gathering Powder!" Xiao Yan looked at the three elders disdainfully and said in a deep voice.

"You..." Upon hearing this, the three elders paused, and the hot-tempered third elder glared, his fighting spirit slowly surging through him.

"Three elders, Brother Xiao Yan is right. He is the one directly involved. You should not interfere." The girl's light and melodious voice rang out calmly in the hall.

Upon hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, the three elders' arrogance immediately subsided. They exchanged helpless glances and then nodded.

Looking at the three dejected elders, Xiao Yan glanced curiously at Xiao Xun'er and slowly walked forward. He bowed to Xiao Zhan, then turned to Nalan Yanran and asked, "Miss Nalan, I'd like to know if Old Master Nalan is aware of this matter?"

Nalan Yanran had assumed Xiao Yan would agree, but instead he was making a scene. She coldly replied, "Grandpa didn't agree, but this is my matter, and I can make my own decision."

"Since the old man hasn't spoken, my father naturally won't agree either. After all, this matter was originally decided by the two old men. Since they didn't agree, we naturally can't cancel it. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to our deceased elders," Xiao Yan said calmly after hearing Nalan Yanran's words.

With Xiao Yan's accusation leveled against them, the three elders dared not press the matter further. After all, in the strict family system, disrespecting elders was enough to cost them their positions as elders.

"You..." Nalan Yanran didn't expect Xiao Yan to speak like that. Her long-standing temper as a young lady of high birth flared up. She stomped her foot and looked at Xiao Yan with disgust, saying, "Then what do you want in return for breaking off the engagement? At worst, I'll give you two more Qi Gathering Pills and even grant you special permission to enter the Yunlan Sect to cultivate advanced techniques, how about that?" After saying that, she raised her head.

In her view, this was nothing more than Xiao Yan wanting more compensation. As long as she could get rid of Xiao Yan, she could easily fulfill these conditions. In her opinion, the conditions she proposed were enough to drive any young man crazy.

Upon hearing Nalan Yanran's conditions, the three elders were so eager they could jump up. They stood up and stared intently at Xiao Yan, wishing he would agree immediately.

Upon hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan glared at her menacingly and said, "Hmph! I... really want to kill you!"

Nalan Yanran was frightened by Xiao Yan's ferocious expression. The young man beside her also suddenly drew his long sword and looked at Xiao Yan with a cold gaze.

"Yan'er, don't be rude!" At this moment, Xiao Zhan's voice suddenly rang out, bringing Xiao Yan back to his senses. He lowered his head, took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, his expression had returned to calm, without a trace of ferocity.

Nalan Yanran looked at the calm Xiao Yan and said, "I was indeed a bit rash today. If you agree to one request, I can temporarily withdraw my request to dissolve the engagement."

"What are the requirements?" Xiao Yan asked, frowning.

"I can postpone today's request for three years. Three years later, come to Yunlan Sect to challenge me. If you lose, I will publicly annul the engagement. By then, you will be an adult, and even if the engagement is annulled, it won't embarrass Uncle Xiao too much. Are you willing?" Nalan Yanran said calmly.

Upon hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and angrily, "Heh, if I lose, I'll have to carry the shameful name of defeat for the rest of my life, right!"

Nalan Yanran, growing impatient after being thwarted several times, snapped at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, further words are pointless. If you don't want Uncle Xiao to lose face, then accept the agreement! Between three years from now and now, which will you choose?"

"Nalan Yanran, you don't need to act so aggressively. You want to annul the engagement because you think I, Xiao Yan, am a good-for-nothing and not worthy of you, a proud daughter of heaven. Yes, I am indeed a good-for-nothing now, but three years ago I was able to create miracles and become a Dou Zhe at the age of twelve. What level of Dou Qi were you at the age of twelve? What makes you think I can't turn things around again in three years?" Faced with the girl's aggressive attitude, Xiao Yan finally burst out. His face was cold and stern, and his words left everyone in the hall speechless. Who would have thought that the boy who had been silent for three years would be so powerful?

Nalan Yanran's face turned ashen after being rebuked by Xiao Yan, but she couldn't find any words to refute him, after all, she was only at the eighth level of Dou Qi at that time.

"Miss Nalan, for the sake of Old Master Nalan, I, Xiao Yan, would like to offer you a few words of advice: fortunes change, and one should never underestimate a young man's potential!" Xiao Yan's cold and resolute words made Nalan Yanran's delicate body tremble.

"Good! What a great saying, 'Never underestimate a young man's potential!' My son, Xiao Zhan's son, is truly extraordinary." Xiao Zhan stood up, slammed his fists heavily on the table, and roared.

Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and said through gritted teeth, "What right do you have to lecture me? Even if you were a genius before, you are just a piece of trash now. Fine, I won't mention today's matter again. I'll be waiting for you at Yunlan Sect in three years. If you have the ability, defeat me fair and square then. If you can defeat me, you can be my slave or my maid, it's all up to you."

"Of course, if you're still this useless three years from now, then you'll have to hand over the contract to dissolve the engagement."

Playing with Nalan Yanran's ashen face, Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Why wait three years? I have absolutely no interest in you."

After saying that, he strode to the table and began to write furiously!

The ink falls and the pen stops!

Xiao Yan drew his short sword, slashed his left hand, and pressed it onto the white paper.

Picking up the contract, as he walked past Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan slammed it heavily onto the table next to her. "This is not a contract to dissolve the engagement, but rather my, Xiao Yan, divorce certificate from you, Nalan Yanran. From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, have no further connection with my Xiao family."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan, biting his lip but unable to say anything.

Although the family claimed he had divorced Nalan Yanran, who would believe it? In the end, it was his father who suffered...

Xiao Yan got up and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back to Nalan Yanran and said, "Nalan Yanran, I will come to find you in three years."

Xiao Fan watched Xiao Yan leave, a smile playing on his lips. The scene in Battle Through the Heavens was truly exhilarating!

At this moment, the system's voice sounded again, and Xiao Fan saw that a new task had arrived.

Helping Xiao Yan save face? Interesting.
