Chapter 4: The Three-Year Promise
In the reception hall of the Xiao Clan, there was dead silence.
Ge Ye stared at Nalan Yanran with a dumbfounded expression on his face, unable to process what was happening.
You see, originally, the Yunlan Sect Patriach Yun Yun was very against Nalan Yanrans decision to break off the engagement. and if it werent for Nalan Yanrans constant persuasion, Yun Yun would not have sent Ge Ye to support her.
But now that they was already here, Nalan Yanran suddenly changed her mind.
Mistress ? Ive found him, Ive even prepared the compesation gift. Im also prepared to throw away my face for youUpdat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
But now youre changing your mind last second!?
Not only was Ge Ye stunned, but so were Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
Anyone could see that Nalan Yanrans original intention in coming here was to break off the engagement. That was beyond doubt.
But upon seeing Xiao Yan, her attitude took a 180-degree turn, leaving everyones heads spinning.
Not only did she not mention breaking off the engagement, she also demanded that the wedding be held immediately?
Meanwhile, outside the hall, Xiao Ning and the others saw what was happening. Xiao Ning slowly came to his senses.
It seems that Xiao Yans cousin and Nalan Yanran know each other beforehand. After seeing him, she didnt say a word about breaking off the engagement and instead demanded that the wedding take place immidietly. Hey Xuner, Xiao Yan really is amazing.
Xiao Nings voice suddenly trailed off, looking at Xiao Xuner with a look of horror.
Oh, Xiao Yan is really popular, isnt he?
As she listened to Xiao Xuners extremely gloomy words, Xiao Nings body trembled uncontrollably and he couldnt help but swallow his saliva.
Obviously, Nalan Yanrans words had touched on Xiao Xuners sore spot!
However, while Xiao Xuner could barely maintain her composure, Xiao Mei couldnt take it anymore and barged into the reception hall.
I object!
Xiao Meis objection brought the stunned crowd in the hall back to their senses. The second elder immediately glared at his own granddaughter.
Meier, back down! This has nothing to do with you!
How does it have nothing to do with me? Xiao Yans business is my business! Xiao Mei then turned her head to glare at Nalan Yanran, pointing at her without any reservations, I say, youre originally come here to break off the engagement, arent you? I fully support you breaking off the engagement! Our Xiao Clan is not worthy of your Nalan family! Xiao Yan is not worthy of you! After you break off the engagement, go back to being your little patriarch! No one is stopping you!
After Xiao Mei finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and the three elders faces turned particularly ugly.
Although it is an objective fact that the Xiao Clan cannot compare to the Nalan family, it is also an objective fact that Xiao Yan is currently not worthy of Nalan Yanran.
But as someone from the Xiao Clan, you cant say that. Isnt this slapping your own face?
Although I know what Xiao Mei is trying to achieve, her words undoubtedly greatly insulted the reputation of the Xiao Clan.
Especially for the Second Elder, if there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to rush up and give his granddaughter a good spanking for saying such things!
Meanwhile, outside the door, Xiao Ning was holding his head in pain.
Oh my cousin Xiao Mei even though I understand your feelings, youre just belittling the Xiao Clan and Xiao Yan to the extreme out of nowhere like that.
Just then, Xiao Xuner also entered the meeting hall.
Keenly aware, Ge Ye noticed that when Xiao Xuner entered, the anger of the three elders, including Xiao Zhan, instantly disappeared, and there was even a deep sense of awe in the patriach eyes, which deeply furrowed Ge Yes brow.
Who exactly is Xiao Xuner?
Standing in front of Xiao Mei, Xiao Xuner gently placed her hand that was pointing at Nalan Yanran back down and bowed to Xiao Zhan.
Patriach, three elders. Xiao Xuners face remained calm, and her ethereal voice reached the ears of everyone in the hall. Although Xiao Meis words were too rude, there is no problem with the reasoning behind them. Nowadays, marriage should be based on matching families.
As Nalans family is flourishing, and Miss Nalan Yanran is also intelligent and has been accepted as the direct disciple of the head of Yunlan Sect, I believe that forcing the two families to intermarry may not be a good choice for both sides.
Originally, this engagement was a decision made by the two grandfathers without considering the feelings of the younger generation. Now, it would be more reasonable to cancel this engagement.
We would withdraw from the marriage ourself, but we dare not to accept any gifts. I hope that after today, Miss Nalan Yanran will try to avoid any entanglements with the Xiao Clan and pursue a more outstanding future, which is what you deserve.
Xiao Xuners speech was neither humble nor overbearing, and she had sound arguments and a clear message.
If you dont cancel this engagement today, we will cancel it ourselves! Dont even think about entering the Xiao Clan as a daughter-in-law!
I never said that I came here to cancel the engagement.
Regarding Xiao Xuners words, Nalan Yanrans face was cold, and she looked down on Xiao Xuner from her high position.
Youre right, the engagement was made by our grandfathers and could have been disregarded by the younger generation. However, it just so happens that I am very satisfied with Xiao Yan and believe that he is worthy of being my husband. So I have decided on this engagement!
Nalan Yanran wouldnt budge, but Xiao Xuner looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes, showing a smile that was not very friendly.
So youre saying that Miss Nanalan is really fixated on big brother Xiao Yan?
I am already Xiao Yans fiance, so where does the fixation come from? Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, staring fiercely at Xiao Xuner, In my opinion, its you whos clinging to my fianc, isnt it?
Boom!!!
Golden Dou Qi suddenly burst out from Xiao Xuners body, while Nalan Yanran also didnt hold back, as her Dou Qi burst out to counter Xiao Xuners.
Things have really become troublesome now!
Seeing this scene, whether it was Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao clan, or Ge Ye, the elder of the Yunlan Sect, they didnt know how to resolve the situation.
But between the two, Ge Ye was undoubtedly more conflicted than Xiao Zhan.
Should they still cancel the marriage or not?
Xuner, calm down.
Xiao Yan lightly patted Xiao Xuners shoulder, then looked towards Nalan Yanran.
Little Glutton, put away your Dou Qi, the elders are all present, we cant be rude.
Dont call me Little Glutton again!!!
Hearing Xiao Yans address, Nalan Yanrans face turned even redder, and she stamped her foot fiercely while scolding.
Okay, okay~ I wont call you that anymore.
Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand, then solemnly bowed to Nalan Yanran.
Xiao Yan is honored by Miss Nalans favor, but as my little sister said, there is a considerable gap in our status and strength. If Miss Nalan insists on marrying me, Im afraid it would bring shame to Miss Nalan and even the entire Nalan clan.
After hearing these words, Ge Ye actually felt a hint of goodwill towards Xiao Yan.
The boy is both modest and steady, he is neither arrogant nor impatient. If it werent for his lack of progress in cultivation, he would undoubtedly become someone great in the future.
I am who I am! I will decide my own life! It has nothing to do with the Nalan clan! Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Nalan Yanran gently stroked her chest and declared in a stern voice, I have already decided on you! You are the only man I will marry in this life! I will not recognize anyone else!
Nalan Yanran was extremely determined today. She absolutely would not cancel the marriage!
At this point, Ge Ye could no longer sit still. If he allowed this young mistress to continue to cause a commotion, this matter would never end.
Miss Yanran, how about this
Ge Ye leaned in and whispered in Nalan Yanrans ear, and her emotions visibly calmed down.
After Ge Ye finished speaking, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath.
Fine, lets do it according to Elder Ge Yes plan. Then she pointed at Xiao Yan and declared, Xiao Yan! I propose a three-year bet to you! After three years, we will fight at the Yunlan Sect. If I win, we will get married immediately! If I lose, our engagement will be officially cancelled!
So i ask you, do you dare to accept this bet?!
