Nanlan Su has a daughter like you—truly enviable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Nanlan Yanran trembled, then stammered: “Uncle Xiao...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhan waved his hand to cut off her next words, then coldly said: “Call me Clan Chief Xiao! You are the future Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect—I am not worthy of the title ‘uncle’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clan Chief Xiao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Ge Ye touched the ring on his finger, and a simple, emerald-green jade box appeared in his hand: “Our Sect Master knew today’s request was impolite, so he specifically instructed me to bring a token of apology!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Ye opened the jade box, and a strange fragrance instantly spread through the hall, making everyone feel more alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Qi-Condensing Powder personally crafted by our Sect’s Honorary Elder, the Alchemy King Gu He!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the reactions of those in the hall, Ge Ye could not help but feel a touch of pride: “Surely all of you have heard his name!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This elixir was made by the Alchemy King Gu He?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after hearing Ge Ye’s words, the expressions of those in the hall grew even more stunned—even the three Elders were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Alchemy King Gu He wielded immense influence throughout the Jia Ma Empire; his alchemical arts were mysterious and extraordinary, and countless powerful cultivators sought to curry favor with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone in the hall was pondering how to obtain this Qi-Condensing Powder for themselves, Xiao Yan, seated beside Xiao Xun’er, finally stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Ge Ye, please take back this Qi-Condensing Powder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan stepped forward two paces, calmly saying: “Today’s matter—my Xiao Clan may not grant your wishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yan rise, all eyes in the hall turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to their surprise, despite his dire situation, Xiao Yan’s expression remained utterly calm, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yan, when did you earn the right to speak here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yan, step back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We know you’re suffering inside, but we’ll handle this matter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Elders spoke in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yan ignored them entirely. He first bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhan, then calmly faced Nanlan Yanran: “Miss Nanlan, may I ask—did your grandfather, Nanlan Lao Yezi, approve of today’s decision to break the engagement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandfather did not approve, but this is my own matter—I must decide for myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the boy who had once been betrothed to her by their parents’ pact, Nanlan Yanran spoke solemnly: “My fate must be decided by me—I alone shall choose whom I marry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yue Buqun: As the saying goes, ‘Parents’ command, matchmaker’s word’—Nanlan Yanran is truly excessive!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pang Bo: Actually, Nanlan Yanran’s words aren’t wrong—but her actions show no regard for consequences!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nanlan Yanran finished speaking, the hall fell even quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to Xiao Yan, waiting to hear his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap. Clap. Clap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, applause echoed through the hall—everyone turned to see it was Xiao Yan himself clapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your fate, your own choice—Miss Nanlan, you speak very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan smiled: “I, Xiao Yan, have already given my heart to another—this engagement must be broken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone in the hall exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Xiao Clan Elders felt relieved—the Qi-Condensing Powder was saved; Ge Ye and his companions thought Xiao Yan was just stubbornly saving face...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiao Xun’er, upon hearing Xiao Yan say he had given his heart to another, her face instantly flushed red, her mind already spiraling with wild thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Xiao Yan continued: “Yet you did not consult the elders who arranged this betrothal, and instead demanded my father dissolve it before this crowd—have you not stripped him of his dignity and honor, and cast the Xiao Clan into future ridicule?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scolded by Xiao Yan, Nanlan Yanran froze, unable to find a retort. Frustrated, she blurted out: “Hmph? Are you saying my compensation is too little? Just say it outright—what do you want to end this engagement? I can ask my teacher to give you three more Qi-Condensing Powders, and you may even enter the Yunlan Sect to study advanced battle qi techniques—how’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Nanlan Yanran’s offer, many young Xiao Clan members swallowed hard, utterly captivated by the generous terms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they wished they were the ones being broken off from!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanlan Yanran now lifted her snow-white chin proudly, like a proud princess awaiting Xiao Yan’s answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her surprise, Xiao Yan did not react with ecstatic joy as she expected. Instead, he spoke with utter calm: “To break the engagement? Simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am not an unreasonable man—if you can withstand one of my strikes, the engagement is dissolved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1130,"2026-06-20T09:18:16.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3030f1c892c8922179b78ab8970ff737f5673b78bec3bd24403207afb905393b","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-38","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-36",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-cover.jpg"]
