Chapter 112 Breaking off the engagement!

Chapter 112 Breaking off the engagement!
Hearing Yun Yun's praise, Zi Yan nodded slightly but did not respond.

Zi Yan had seen many low-level Dou Huangs like this in Canaan College. Yun Yun, who did not have earth-level martial arts skills, might not even be her opponent.

Seeing that Zi Yan did not reply to her, Yun Yun did not show any dissatisfaction. She has been the sect leader for more than a year or two, and her ability to control her facial expressions is still very good.

However, Nalan Yanran, who was standing behind Zi Yan, felt a little indignant when she saw her teacher being ignored. "The teacher greeted her, why didn't she say a word in reply?"

However, thinking of Zi Yan's cultivation level at the peak of Dou Wang, he did not reveal his thoughts.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

The Xiao family members didn’t know what the purpose of Yunlan Sect’s visit was, and the people from Yunlan Sect were a little embarrassed to speak.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, several elders chatted with the deacon of Yunlan Sect.

When the Yunlan Sect members entered the hall, Xiao Yan subtly cast his gaze towards the girl behind Yun Yun.

This girl was about the same age as Xiao Yan, which surprised Xiao Yan. She was even more beautiful than Xiao Mei. In this family, perhaps only the elegant and refined Little Medical Fairy could compare with her.

There were three gold star badges painted on the chest of the pretty girl, from which it could be seen that the girl was a three-star fighter.

Touching his chin, Xiao Yan muttered inwardly, "This girl should be the young master of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran. Her talent is not bad, but I don't know what her personality is like."

At this time, Xiao Yan had not thought that his engagement would be broken off. After all, the Xiao family now had Xiao Ling as a backer, and the family power had developed rapidly. His own talent had also been restored, and his future was bright.

Nalan Yanran, who was sitting next to Yun Yun, saw that the Yunlan Sect's deacon had not yet mentioned the cancellation of the engagement, so she tugged at the corner of Yun Yun's clothes.

Turning her head to look at Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun knew that this girl could not wait any longer. She nodded slightly at Nalan Yanran and winked at an old man in a white robe beside her.

Feeling the sect leader's urging, the deacon nodded, knowing that it was time to get down to business.

"Ahem." The old man in white robe coughed lightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: "Chief Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly because I have something to ask for!"

Xiao Zhan frowned, sensing something was wrong, and said calmly, "Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, if you have anything to say, please tell me. If it is within our ability, the Xiao family will not refuse."

"Haha, Patriarch Xiao, do you know her?" Ge Ye smiled slightly and pointed at Nalan Yanran beside Yun Yun and asked with a smile.

Turning his gaze to the direction of Ge Ye's finger, Xiao Zhan showed a faint smile on his face, "I guess this girl should be Nalan's niece. I haven't seen you for many years. I almost didn't recognize you. Recently, the Xiao family moved back to the imperial capital, and there were many things to deal with. I didn't bring any gifts to visit you. Please don't blame me, your uncle."

Xiao Zhan naturally recognized Nalan Yanran, although he had never seen her in person, but the Nalan family also sent a portrait of Nalan Yanran to Xiao Zhan.

"Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to see you. I should apologize, but how dare I blame you, Uncle Xiao?" Nalan Yanran said with a sweet smile. The two chatted for a while, and Nalan Yanran couldn't resist Xiao Zhan's enthusiasm. She took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Zhan with a firm look in her eyes, "Uncle Xiao, I came to the Xiao family this time to... cancel the engagement with Xiao Yan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone present was stunned. Not only the young generation who were listening were shocked, but even the three elders and Xiao Zhan looked confused.

Ever since the Xiao family moved back to the imperial capital, they have maintained a good relationship with the Nalan family.

Especially after Xiao Yan's cultivation talent was restored, Nalan Yanran's father, Nalan Su, would come to the Xiao family from time to time to discuss their future marriage with Xiao Zhan.

The parents of both parties were very optimistic about this marriage and were quite satisfied with each other's children.

Originally, it was thought that Nalan Yanran came to visit the Xiao family to develop a relationship with Xiao Yan, but unexpectedly, the reality was just the opposite. She was planning to cancel the marriage.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Zhan looked at Nalan Yanran with a puzzled look, "Niece Nalan, are you kidding your uncle? I met with your father before and planned to arrange for you to meet Xiao Yan. I didn't have any plans to cancel the engagement."

Facing Xiao Zhan's question, Nalan Yanran's eyes did not flinch at all, and she said firmly: "This is my own business, and has nothing to do with the Nalan family."

Wow, no wonder Nalan Yanran came to visit in the capacity of the Young Master of Yunlan Sect. It turns out that she made the decision without telling the Nalan family.

Seeing Nalan Yanran speak, Yun Yun, who was standing by, stood up and added, "Patriarch Xiao, the Yunlan Sect has strict rules. Every successor of the Sect Master is not allowed to have emotional entanglements before officially becoming the Sect Master. Yanran is gifted, and I intend to make her the next Sect Master. However, before that, I asked Yanran and learned that she has an engagement with the Xiao family. Therefore, I hope that Patriarch Xiao can cancel this engagement, and the Yunlan Sect will definitely give generous compensation."

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn. If Nalan Yanran could still act on impulse, then Yun Yun, as the leader of the Yunlan Sect, would certainly not be joking.

"Crack!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand suddenly turned into a puff of powder.

Seeing this scene, Zi Yan's eyes lit up, "Xiao Ling told me before that the head of the Xiao family likes to pinch teacups the most. I didn't quite understand it before, but now I see it with my own eyes."

At this time, Xiao Yan's face became very ugly. Now that his cultivation talent has been restored, he is hard to find an opponent among his peers, and his family is also thriving. Yet, Nalan Yanran actually wants to come to his house to cancel the engagement.

If there really is such a rule, and Nalan Yanran is unable to fulfill the engagement, why can't she resolve it privately? Why does she have to bring the leader of the Yunlan Sect and come to the Xiao family in a high-profile manner to cancel the engagement?

This is looking down on the Xiao family and looking down on Xiao Yan. It is a complete humiliation!

In fact, Yun Yun was also helpless. Her apprentice did not want to fulfill the engagement, and the Nalan family would definitely not agree to let Nalan Yanran cancel the marriage. Now she could only resort to this last resort, bringing Nalan Yanran here directly to cancel the marriage, and she had to make some noise, otherwise the Nalan family would not admit to canceling the engagement with the Xiao family.
