Chapter 37: Engagement Cancellation Agreement

"Hehe! Is the Yunlan Sect very strong? Your Yunlan Sect is barely considered a second-rate force in the Dou Qi Continent." Xiao Xun'er walked from the crowd to Xiao Yan's side, and a tiny golden flame suddenly surged from her autumn-water-like eyes.

"Who are you? And what is your relationship with the Xiao Family?" Ge Ye looked at the tiny golden flame in the girl's eyes, his body trembled violently, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that if you cannot fulfill the bet, I will make sure you cannot walk out of this Wutan City." Although Xiao Xun'er's voice was very gentle, everyone present felt the chill in her words.

Ge Ye glanced at Nalan Yanran. At this moment, he had no other way. Although he didn't know Xiao Xun'er's true identity, the golden flame in her eyes was enough to prove that her identity was not simple.

Nalan Yanran knew that things couldn't be resolved easily today and that she couldn't hide, so she directly broke free from Ge Ye's support, walked with difficulty to the desk prepared in advance, picked up a pen, dipped it in some ink, and said to Xiao Yan: "You can say how you want me to write it!"

At this moment, Nalan Yanran no longer had the arrogant attitude she had when she first came to the Xiao Family. Tears swirled in her eyes, and the brush in her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Hmph! I will personally wash away the humiliation I suffered in the Xiao Family today. Let's go!" Nalan Yanran snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"I need to go out for training as soon as possible, but before that, I should refine some healing medicine for the Xiao Family just in case," Xiao Yan thought to himself, looking at the departing Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Yanran slapped this blood-stained engagement cancellation agreement onto Xiao Yan.

After the engagement cancellation was over, Xiao Yan directly took the opportunity to leave the Xiao Family and went to the Mittel Auction House to get the medicine cauldron and the medicinal materials for refining Coagulation Powder.

Xiao Yan would not pity Nalan Yanran. Those who humiliate others will be humiliated themselves. If Xiao Yan had lost today, Nalan Yanran would not have been polite either.

Who knew that Nalan Yanran stopped after taking only two steps, turned around, and said to Xiao Yan: "Today's matter was my, Nalan Yanran's, fault, but my mistake should not be borne by the sect. Do you dare to have another match with me? Three years later, I will wait for you at the Yunlan Sect. If I lose, I will be a slave and maid for the rest of my life, at your disposal. If I violate this, may heaven destroy and earth kill me. And if you lose, you will hand over this contract and apologize to me in front of everyone in the Yunlan Sect. Do you dare?"

"Hehe, you were the one who came to the Xiao Family to cancel the engagement, and now you have become the victim! Who are you putting on this pitiful act for! Now there is no relationship between us anymore, please leave," Xiao Yan said with a cold smile.

"Oh? Not because of Nalan Yanran, then could it be because of Xiao Xun'er?" Yao Lao said playfully.

Nalan Yanran's chest heaved when she heard what Xiao Yan said, and the hand holding the pen trembled constantly.

"Go out for training? But you will have your adult ceremony in a year. Why not wait until after the adult ceremony to go out for training? Could it be because of Nalan Yanran?" Yao Lao asked with confusion.

Seeing the black-robed person leave, Ya Fei frowned slightly and wondered: "Why did the old gentleman ask us to prepare wild survival supplies? Could it be that a fourth-grade alchemist like him still needs to go out for training?"

After settling the bill, Xiao Yan picked up the storage ring, put it on his finger casually, and said: "Then I'll go first, you don't need to see me off."

"Nalan Yanran? She doesn't have the qualifications!" Xiao Yan said with disdain.

"Hehe, good! Isn't it just a three-year agreement? I agree! But when someone loses again, don't say anything about the honor of the Yunlan Sect and committing suicide!" Xiao Yan said mockingly.

"Hehe, you have a heart, but it's just a storage ring. This old man won't take advantage of you, let's count it all together! Also, help me prepare a set of wild survival supplies, I will come to get them directly in a few days." Yao Lao handed a blue jade card directly to Ya Fei.

"The medicinal materials and medicine cauldron required by the old gentleman have been prepared for you. However, because you bought too many medicinal materials, Ya Fei took the liberty to give the old gentleman another storage ring," Ya Fei said with a light smile, casually picking up the storage ring from the maid's tray and handing it to the black-robed person.

Nalan Yanran was silent for a long time, then quickly wrote what Xiao Yan said on the paper. After writing, she picked up her precious sword and cut a deep wound in her palm.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore! But if you want to go out for training, you still need to prepare a large amount of wild survival supplies. It just so happens that you can prepare them together this time at the Mittel Auction House," Yao Lao put away his smile and said seriously.

If she really wrote this, how would she, Nalan Yanran, walk on the continent in the future!

Xiao Yan walked to a remote corner as usual to put on a black cloak. After changing, Xiao Yan didn't rush to the Mittel Family immediately, but instead asked Yao Lao: "Teacher, I want to go out for training, what do you think?"

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan is absolutely right!" Xun Er chimed in from the side.

Although the strength of the Jia Lie Clan was far from what it used to be, precisely because of this, the Jia Lie Clan would jump over the wall like a dog. For example, they would invite Liu Xi in advance, and once an alchemist joined, the situation would instantly reverse.

"Are you saying..." Ya Fei also came to her senses at this time.

"Are you satisfied now!"

In fact, Ya Fei really wanted to give that storage ring to the old man, because a fourth-grade alchemist was worth her wooing. However, since the old gentleman didn't accept it, Ya Fei naturally wouldn't force it; that would be too deliberate, not only would it not gain the old man's favor, but it would instead cause the old man's dissatisfaction.

"Is it too much!" Ge Ye felt somewhat dissatisfied after hearing what Xiao Yan asked Nalan Yanran to write.

"I just want to become stronger, there aren't so many reasons." Xiao Yan was poked in his heart and said with annoyance.

The blood-stained palm left a glaring blood print on the white paper.

"I have already won, why do I still have to fulfill your three-year agreement? I don't have so much time to waste," Xiao Yan said indifferently.

Ge Ye sighed deeply and prepared to take the two away from the Xiao Family. What happened today truly exceeded his expectations.

"Hehe, do you still remember what I said before? This old man might have taken a disciple in Wutan City," Gu Ni said with a light smile.

"You just write: I, Nalan Yanran, am arrogant and look down on others. Relying on being the daughter of the Nalan Family and a disciple of Yunlan Sect Master Yun Yun, I often bully others. I am selfish and self-interested, only caring about my own interests and never considering the feelings of others. I disobey elders, act impulsively, and use any means to achieve my goals. Someone like me is truly not worthy of being a daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family. I write this engagement cancellation agreement as proof!" Xiao Yan said indifferently.

Hearing the reports from his subordinates, Ya Fei and Gu Ni quickly put down their work and went to the entrance of the auction house to lead Xiao Yan into the guest hall.

"You don't have to agree, but the Yunlan Sect is indeed stronger than the Xiao Family, that is a fact. If someone from the sect comes to the Xiao Family to make trouble..." Nalan Yanran said with a hint of threat.

Because Xiao Yan had been to the Mittel Auction House more than once, his strange attire had become familiar to all internal personnel of the auction house. Therefore, when people from the auction house saw the black-cloaked figure from afar, they quickly notified Ya Fei and Gu Ni.

"Hmm, if someone disappears in Wutan City recently, it means they are very likely to have been taken as a disciple by this old gentleman," Gu Ni said indifferently.

"Hehe, I don't know whose child is so lucky to be taken as a disciple by a fourth-grade alchemist," Ya Fei sighed lightly.
