Chapter 1675 Nalan Yanran's Visit

Breaking off an engagement is not the same as breaking off an engagement.

If it is an engagement, it must be widely announced, because it is a happy event. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there are four great joys in life, namely, rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination. Although engagement is not one of these four things, it can be regarded as a precursor to the wedding night. For some families with more money, in order to express their importance to the other party in the engagement process, preparing a generous gift and more publicity is actually a clear declaration.

Take Nalan Yanran as an example.

If Nalan Yanran hadn't come to cancel the engagement.

Instead, she was brought by her grandfather Nalan Jie to discuss their future marriage.

The Xiao family is eager for the Nalan family to take the initiative to publicize it.

It can even be said that if the Nalan family is too lazy to promote it.

Note, it's pure laziness.

Rather than minding publicity.

To put it bluntly, they are unwilling to spend resources on such useless things.

After all, no matter how good the publicity is, it is just a face-saving project.

The success or failure of a family still depends on its strength.

In short, the Nalan family does not reject publicity.

The Xiao family doesn't mind taking care of it on their behalf.

Don't underestimate publicity.

The influence of propaganda is extremely terrifying.

For the Xiao family, who were entrenched in the third-rate town of Wutan, if Nalan Yanran married in, or if Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan were engaged, and the news was released, if the patriarchs of the Jialie and Oba families did not come to visit the next day to apologize for their previous disrespects, then the Jialie and Oba families could consider building a coffin for themselves. Although the Nalan family could not compare with the behemoth Jiama Royal Family, they still had some connections in the military. Moreover, Nalan Jie, the Dou Wang, was also... As long as he is alive, everyone will give him some face. The Nalan family has many Dou Lings. Any one of them can wipe out the Jialie family and the Oba family. In other words, the only way for the Jialie family and the Oba family to survive is to sell all their original fixed assets to the Xiao family at a low price, and then run away with their family members and live in other cities. It is impossible to run away secretly. There is only one end of running away secretly, and that is death. By then, people and money will still belong to the Xiao family. It is better to admit defeat honestly.

If the Xiao family is willing to give them respect.

Just buy it at the lowest price on the market.

For example, a shop located in a prosperous area with a booming business is worth one thousand gold coins, while those shops located in ordinary areas are only worth one hundred gold coins. When the Xiao family acquires the shop, they will not discuss it based on the known price of one thousand, but will purchase it based on the offer of one hundred gold coins. It can be said that it is unreasonable, but in the face of absolute strength, the Galie family and the Oba family can only accept the offer of one hundred gold coins as long as they do not want to be wiped out by Nalan Yanran's family.

This is what is called a low-price acquisition.

Broken to the point of fracture.

It's not much different from selling at a loss.

After swallowing up the industries of the Gale and Oba families, the Xiao family will become the most powerful force in Wutan City. Although there are still some existences that they cannot afford to provoke, such as the Mitel Auction House and the City Lord's Mansion, compared with the two who need to abide by their own rules, as long as the Xiao family does not rebel and does not attack the direct members of the Mitel family, the two will have no way to deal with the Xiao family. After all, let alone that the City Lord's Mansion does not have the ability to touch Nalan Yanran, even if it has that ability, it must first look at the attitude of Nalan Jie and the military. Nalan Jie has only this one granddaughter, and the act of destroying someone's family is a taboo under any circumstances. Moreover, if the Xiao family has not committed any mistakes, the City Lord's Mansion dares to dispatch troops to destroy the Xiao family, and the families in other cities will also tear their faces with the City Lord's Mansion. To put it bluntly, if the Xiao family is taken down today on false charges, should our family be confiscated and exterminated tomorrow on false charges?

The City Lord's Mansion of Wutan City could not withstand this backlash.

Even the Gama royal family couldn't bear it.

So, these are the rules that the City Lord’s Mansion must abide by.

Faced with things that are exaggerated.

It can only be dealt with in a drastic manner.

I can't do even the slightest bit of trickery.

Therefore, for the Xiao family, it is quite beneficial to publicize the engagement.

You can eliminate your opponent without bloodshed.

It can even be said that if one is more ruthless, he can directly buy all the properties of the Galie and Oba families with one gold coin. Even if the Galie and Oba families are not convinced, they can only accept the threat of force, and can only transfer these fixed assets reluctantly and then leave their hometown.

However, a cornered dog will do something desperate.

If I really do that.

It is also a hidden danger for the Xiao family.

It's not like there haven't been families that have done this before.

The end result is either isolation or destruction by other families.

To put it bluntly, you can win, but you can't let the loser go hungry.

At least give the losers some dignity.

In this way, when you lose in the future, other families will also abide by this decency and acquire your property at a low price, instead of not paying a penny and kicking you and your descendants off the table.

That is to say, under this tacit understanding.

No matter how miserable the loser is, he will only fall into poverty.

They will not become commoners or refugees.

Go to other cities and buy some fields and shops.

The family's incense can still be maintained.

As for staying, it's not impossible.

But the three parties have been fighting for so many years.

Trust is pitifully low.

If you are not afraid of being bullied, you can stay.

Therefore, most of the failed families still chose to go out and explore the world, just like the Xiao family. After Xiao Lin's death, they chose to leave the Jiama Imperial City and came to Wutan City. This is the ending of the loser.

In contrast is the Nalan family.

Because Nalan Jie is not dead.

Therefore, the Nalan family gained a firm foothold in the imperial city.

Therefore, paying a little more money in exchange for peace within the rules, although this deal cannot be said to be of great value, it is definitely not a loss. At least before the Xiao family has a strong man who can overthrow the Gama Empire, abiding by this rule will definitely be beneficial and harmless.

As for what would happen if a powerful person emerged from the Xiao family who could overthrow the Jia Ma Empire...

For details, please refer to Yunlan Sect.

Directly divide the area and govern it.

All the mountains where the Yunlan Sect is located have been transformed into territories controlled by the Yunlan Sect.

Including official appointments in several nearby cities.

And maintaining order in the town.

The Yunlan Sect has the final say.

The Yunlan Sect even has the power to form an army!

It can be seen!

The main reason why Yunlan Sect dared to do this was its strength. It had the power to overthrow the Jia Ma Royal Family and the Jia Ma Empire. However, in the eyes of the Yunlan Sect’s top leaders, doing so was indeed not in the interests of Yunlan Sect, and Yunlan Sect would suffer losses. Before Yunlan Sect had overwhelming strength, it was better to farm peacefully, and recruit students from the Jia Ma Empire every year. This was a soft-knife way of killing people.

In short, say what you want to say at the right time.

In assumptions that do not take into account realistic factors.

This kind of publicity is beneficial to the Xiao family.

Of course, it is also beneficial to the Nalan family.

After all, although Nalan Jie is only a Dou Wang, not a Dou Huang with a lifespan of more than 300 years, and is not worthy of the Jia Ma royal family's quick disposal, there is still some fear, because a Dou Wang can already surround and kill a Dou Huang. Refer to the three Dou Wang elders of the Yunlan Sect who besieged the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. Within the two realms of Dou Wang and Dou Huang, quantity can make up for quality. On the other hand, Dou Ling and Dou Wang, or Dou Huang and Dou Zong, even a nine-star Dou Ling facing a one-star Dou Wang, can only passively take a beating, because Dou Wang has air superiority, unless the nine-star Dou Ling has flying fighting skills, but As we all know, flying fighting skills have always been extremely rare. In addition, the upper limit of flying fighting skills is not high, and the audience has always been small, especially for Douhuang and Douzong. Yunshan defeated Lingying and Haibodong in seconds as soon as he appeared. Although he did not completely suppress them, he broke through the two's ultimate moves in the blink of an eye. The gap is obvious. Moreover, Yunshan is only a pseudo Douzong, the kind who broke through with the Broken Sect Pill. His aura has not stabilized, and he cannot skillfully use the spatial power that only Douzong can master. If it were those Douzong in Zhongzhou, their performance would be even stronger.

Therefore, for Nalan Jie, who holds part of the military power, his existence is indeed a threat to the Gama royal family. Fortunately, Nalan Jie is more cautious and has never given the Gama royal family a chance. It was not until he was old and handed over the military power that the matter came to an end.

But it was just the end.

It doesn't mean the matter is resolved.

To put it bluntly, if Nalan Yanran had married a young hero from the Mu family, or a young hero from the Mitel family, the Jia Ma royal family would still be worried, because this would mean that two or three Dou Wangs would join forces. If Jia Xingtian dared to go somewhere secretly, he might be surrounded and killed by Nalan Jie, Mitel Tengshan, the head of the Mu family and other Dou Wangs. It's a pity that Xiao Lin is dead, otherwise, the pressure on the Jia Ma royal family would be even greater.

Therefore, when the engagement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan was publicized, the Jia Ma Royal Family could clearly capture this signal and understand Nalan Jie's intention, which was that he had no intention of going any further, but decided to use the remaining military connections to consolidate his foundation and support future generations. Naturally, the pressure on the Nalan family would be reduced, and they might even change their attitude and focus on winning them over.

But since it is a broken engagement.

Promote it again.

The meaning has completely changed.

Perhaps for Nalan Yanran, she was using this method to force her grandfather Nalan Jie to back down. After all, she had discussed this with her grandfather Nalan Jie many times before, and the answer she got was always negative. In this case, she had no choice but to play the game of making the rice already cooked, also known as acting first and asking for permission later, and cancel the marriage first. By then, even if her grandfather wanted to save it, there would be nothing he could do.

In addition, he was also using the pressure of public opinion to force Grandpa Nalan Jie to back down.

To put it bluntly, once public opinion spreads.

When this matter became known to everyone in the Gama Empire.

Even if Nalan Jie went to the Xiao family to apologize.

It is absolutely impossible to renew the engagement.

Therefore, renewing the engagement in this situation is already a bit of a hassle, and in the eyes of outsiders, it may be seen as selling a daughter for fame and fortune.

Although the current Xiao family is not worthy of the word Rong.

But this does not prevent outsiders from belittling Nalan Jie.

As for the deeper calculations behind it, that is Yun Leng’s problem.

Lin Chaoci believed that his senior sister Yun Yun could see through the dirty tricks behind the scenes. After all, Yun Yun in the original novel seemed to have seen through it and agreed to Nalan Yanran to cancel the engagement, but did not agree to Nalan Yanran canceling the engagement now. She signaled Nalan Yanran to be patient and allow her to communicate with Nalan Jie. However, he did not expect that Nalan Yanran was so determined and brought people down the mountain to cancel the engagement. When the situation developed to this point, even Yun Yun could only accept this result. Yun Yun could naturally see it now. In addition, her identity had changed. Nalan Yanran in the original novel was the young master of the Yunlan Sect, so they could not get married for the time being. But now the young master of the Yunlan Sect is Xiaodie, and Nalan Yanran is at most Yun Yun's second disciple. It is even more impossible for Yun Yun to make a clear statement to cancel the engagement. Such a major event that concerns one's life must be discussed with the elders.

The master is the master.

Parents are parents.

The master can help with the work.

Even shelter can be provided.

For example, Nalan Yanran was obviously avoiding marriage by seclusion. She found a small courtyard to live in on one of the many hills of the Yunlan Sect. As long as Yun Yun was still alive, the Nalan family would not urge her to get married in the Yunlan Sect. After all, they couldn't drag Nalan Yanran out of the secret room where she was in seclusion and force her to get married, right?

That would be a slap in the face of the Yunlan Sect!

But talking about breaking off the engagement.

Yun Yun really couldn't make the decision on this matter.

As for why Nalan Yanran couldn't wait a little longer?

This requires taking Nalan Yanran's age into consideration.

Although Nalan Yanran is not small, she is not big either.

Calculated according to the age of the original work.

Xiao Yan is fifteen years old this year.

Nalan Yanran is about seventeen years old.

Because three years later, when Xiao Yan first went to Yunlan Sect to fulfill the three-year agreement, Nalan Yanran's age was exactly twenty years old. Although Xiao Yan's age at that stage was described as seventeen years old, not eighteen, considering the month issue and the difference between the actual age and the lunar age, a fluctuation of one year is also a very normal phenomenon. To put it bluntly, assuming that Nalan Yanran was born in June, and Xiao Yan was born in June three years later, then there is no problem in saying that the two are three years apart. But if Xiao Yan was born in May three years later, the difference between the two is two years and eleven months. Although it is still three years in terms of years, the actual difference is still only more than two years. In terms of future affairs, they are still in the stage of not yet adults.

Anyone who has been in a fight knows this.

I would rather provoke those small bosses who are in their thirties.

Also, don't get violent with young hooligans between the ages of fifteen and twenty.

Because these little hooligans act entirely on emotion.

Once they get drunk, they really don't hold back when they hit someone.

The same goes for Nalan Yanran.

She was suppressed by her engagement since she was a child. She practiced sword skills every day since she was six years old. The only idea instilled in her by Nalan Jie was that she should work hard because her fiancé was a genius and she should not embarrass him.

He joined the Yunlan Sect at the age of ten.

That was the period a few months after Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie went on a long journey.

Now seventeen years old.

Four years of misindoctrination and seven years of self-struggle.

Eleven years of contradictory thoughts.

To be honest, for a little girl who is only seventeen years old, being able to hold it in until this time before exploding is already a very cautious choice.

Only after making sure that you have a favorable wind will you choose to jump into the face and attack.

Therefore, after the Yunlan Sect’s carriages arrived at Wutan City.

The storm immediately swept through the city of Wutan.

And with Nalan Yanran's visit.

The storm finally came to the Xiao family.
