Chapter 102: Annulment of the Marriage Arrangement
Chapter 102: Annulment of the Marriage Arrangement
Ever since he had lost his talent, Xiao Yan had done his best to avoid clan members to prevent unnecessary ridicule from others.
This time, when the Misty Cloud Sect came to the Clan, the Xiao family did not really make a big announcement, however, there were still quite a few internal clan members who knew about it, and Xiao Zhan should have been the one to inform Xiao Yan, but he deliberately wanted to keep it as a secret.
This led to Xiao Yan's current confusion.
Seeing that all the important figures of the Family were present, even Xiao Ming, he knew that the visitor his father had mentioned yesterday must be very important, so he immediately stepped forward to greet, "Father, the three Elders, the Supreme Elder."
"Haha, Yan'er, you're here, quickly sit down." Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded with a smile as he spoke.
With this shout, everyone's eyes focused directly on him.
Even Yun Yun, who was deep in thought, also cast her gaze at Xiao Yan, 'Is this Xiao Yan? It is true that his talent has disappeared and stayed in the three-star Dou Disciple as rumored'.
One must know that Yun Yun was restraining her Dou Emperor aura, but she had been in charge of the Misty Cloud Sect for a long time and there was an inexplicable majesty of a powerful person in her body, which just now pressured Xiao Zhan and the others and made them not dare to say a word to her.
Although Xiao Yan had experienced more than two years of ridicule from his family, his heart had been polished, but even so, he still could not bear the sight of Yun Yun on him. To avoid embarrassment, he began to look for a seat according to his father's instructions, but after scanning the hall, he was surprised to see that there was no seat for him.
This was embarrassing, and faced with this situation, Xiao Yan could only secretly shake his head and laugh at himself.
'Unfortunately, my status in this family really seems to be getting lower and lower, I was good in the past, but now they are really embarrassing me in front of the guests, these three old farts...'
The young clan members in the vicinity couldn't help but grimace in derision as they looked at Xiao Yan, who stood motionless, obviously enjoying watching him make a fool of himself.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan from above also noticed Xiao Yan's embarrassment, a flash of anger appeared on his face and he frowned towards the Elder beside him, "Grand Elder, you..."
"Ahem, I'm really sorry, I really forgot about Third Young Master, hehe, I will immediately call someone to prepare a seat for him right away!"
The Grand Elder, who had been fulminated by Xiao Zhan's gaze, chuckled softly and slapped his forehead in a sign of "self-reproach", but the look of contempt in his eyes was not much disguised.
Seeing the situation Xiao Yan was in, the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth twitched, he did not expect that even if he was here, these Elders would still embarrass Xiao Yan on such an important occasion, was Xiao Yan so hateful before?
Xiao Shan, who was sitting next to Xiao Ming, also had a hint of surprise in his eyes, he had been in the Family for a while and although he knew that Xiao Yan was not liked, he did not expect it to be to this extent, which was beyond his expectations.
Apparently seeing the surprise in both Xiao Ming and Xiao Shan's eyes, the Grand Elder no longer wanted to play tricks on Xiao Yan, and the chair was quickly brought over, it seemed that they had been prepared to be placed at any time.
Although they could see that Xiao Yan seemed to be very unpopular in the Xiao family, Yun Yun and the others did not say anything.
After Xiao Yan sat at the back, Yun Yun, who had seen the person she was here for, finally spoke.
"Clan Head Xiao, this trip is actually a request from Yanran and me."
"A request?"
Hearing Yun Yun say this, Xiao Zhan suddenly had a bad feeling, the only person from the Xiao family who could help the powerful Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect was Xiao Ming, a sixth-tier alchemist.
He had thought that this time, the Leader of Misty Cloud Sect had come to see Xiao Ming, who was right next to him and could speak directly to him if she had a request, but now she was making a request to himself, which was a very strange situation.
What ability could he have to help a powerful Dou Emperor?
When he thought that Yun Yun mentioned Nalan Yanran just now, Xiao Zhan had a bad feeling inside his heart, and when he thought of a certain possibility, the corner of his mouth twitched a couple of times, and his large palm trembled slightly, but fortunately, it was covered by his sleeve, so it was not seen.
He restrained his anger and said in a trembling voice, "Sect Leader Yun Yun, if there is anything you want to say, please do so, if it is within our power, the Xiao Family will not refuse."
"Clan Head Xiao, Misty Cloud Sect has always been a strict Sect, and every future Sect Leader cannot get emotionally involved until they have formally become the official Sect Leader. Yanran's talent is very high and I intend to make her the next Sect Leader, but before that, I have inquired about Yanran and I know that she still has a marriage arrangement with the Xiao Family, so I would like to ask the Clan Head Xiao to be able to break this marriage arrangement, the Misty Cloud Sect will give you compensation for the trouble caused."
Crack! The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand turned into a cloud of dust with a loud bang.
In the hall, the atmosphere was somewhat silent as everyone present was shaken by Yun Yun's words.
The three Elders, who were already at odds with Xiao Zhan, looked at Xiao Zhan with a hint of sarcasm and mockery in their gaze.
'Hehe, someone came to the door and forced you to annul the marriage arrangement by force, let's see what prestige you, the Clan Head, will still have to manage the Clan in the future!'
Some teenagers of the younger generation did not know about the marriage arrangement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, but after inquiring about it with their parents standing to the side, their faces, immediately, turned bright and sneering and scornful gazes were directed at Xiao Yan in the corner...
'Oh, so the marriage annulment kept happening.' Because he had expected this scene, Xiao Ming's face did not change much, and Zi Yan beside him seemed to be a little interested in this, blinking her big eyes and watching with great interest.
On the other hand, Xiao Shan in the seat next to him was simply filled with shock. His original thoughts were the same as Xiao Zhan's, thinking that Yun Yun was here to find Xiao Ming, but he didn't expect that he would turn out to be here to annul a marriage!
"Clan Head Xiao, I know this request is a bit forced, so on this trip, I have brought compensation gifts."
Yun Yun's words were still as calm as ever, her jade hand gently lifted and several different colored jade boxes were placed on the table.
"I have brought two fourth-tier pills on this trip: namely the "Spirit Ascension Pill" and the "Qi Gathering Pill"; two fifth-tier pills, both "Xuan Ling Pills"; and a high-level wind attribute Qi Method, Xuan Class, these are the gifts of compensation for the trouble caused."
As Yun Yun spoke, the deacon of the Misty Cloud Sect, sitting beside her, carefully opened the box, and immediately, several strange fragrances filled the room, and everyone who smelled them felt refreshed.
The Xiao family people in the room could not help but breathe a little faster after hearing Yun Yun's words.
When the box was opened and they clearly saw that the items inside were the same as what Yun Yun had said, their mouths went dry.
The two fourth-tier pills were fine, the Spiritual Ascension Pill could increase the chance of a Dou Grandmaster to a Dou Spirit, and the Qi Gathering Pill could allow a nine-star Dou Disciple to have a 100% chance of advancing to a Dou Practitioner, which seemed very valuable.
However, over the years, Xiao Ming had brought much more than two fourth-tier pills, and there were even precious pills to directly increase their strength.
Therefore, they are not so greedy for fourth-tier pills.
But although Xiao Ming had sent back many fourth-tier pills, these fifth-tier pills, Xiao Ming had not sent back many.
The fifth-tier pills were already exceptionally precious, and the Xuan Ling Pill that Yun Yun gave was the type of pill that could directly allow a Dou Spirit to break through one star.
This type of pill that could directly raise the realm was usually much more valuable than other pills of the same tier.
And since Yun Yun had given out two of these precious pills, it was no wonder that they had lost their composure.
