Chapter 120: Do Not Bully the Young Because They Are Poor

In fact, when Ge Ye learned that this youth with only the third stage of Qi was the very Xiao Yan rumored to be betrothed to his own Young Sect Master, a sense of disdain also arose in his heart.

He even felt a small amount of pity for the Xiao Clan Leader, thinking that a lifetime of reputation would likely be ruined in the hands of such a piece of trash.

One must know that Ge Ye had originally held high expectations for Xiao Yan; the Xiao Clan Leader, Xiao Zhan, was a Dou Wang powerhouse, and his first two sons had already made a name for themselves in the outside world.

The eldest son, Xiao Ding, was only in his early twenties yet possessed the strength of a Dou Ling.

While training in the Tagor Desert, he even managed to retreat unscathed from the hands of a Snake-People Tribe Dou Wang, his prestige resounding through the surrounding cities.

It is rumored that the second son, Xiao Li, went to the Black-Corner Region, a place said to be full of disorder and chaos where people are eaten without a bone left; although there has been no news, looking at the state of the Xiao Clan,

it is clear he is doing quite well.

That is a classic case of a tiger father having no dog sons; how could there be a stain like Xiao Yan? But disdain is just disdain,

and as an old, shrewd man, he naturally would not tear down the stage in public, but who would have thought...

This ancestor also had no sense of the situation and just mocked them directly...

Hah!

Just as Ge Ye was thinking of something to say to make amends, the gentle expression originally on Xiao Yan's face vanished, replaced by a terrifying, ferocious look.

"What, do you still think you are some kind of precious treasure? Do you really think I, your father, care for a Young Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect like you? The Yunlan Sect is very powerful, but my Xiao Clan is not inferior."

"If we speak of talent, I broke through to become a Da Dou Shi at twelve; a tiny Dou Zhe like you is nothing in my Xiao Clan." Xiao Yan spoke bluntly, nearly spilling all the secrets of the Xiao Clan's younger generation. Xiao Long's expression changed,

and she suddenly shouted sternly: "Yan'er!"

Xiao Yan paused immediately; although he did not know the reason, he subconsciously stopped speaking.

However, Xiao Yan's words left the three of them, including Ge Ye, feeling quite strange.

Nalan Yanran even sneered and mocked him, saying: "Xiao Yan, stop bragging. A Da Dou Shi at twelve? Even my teacher, the Yunlan Sect Master Yun Yun, the youngest Dou Huang powerhouse in the entire Jia Ma Empire, had barely become a Four-Star Dou Zhe at twelve. If you were truly that amazing, how could you only have a mere third stage of Qi now?"

Could this guy be trying to tell the tall tale that his Qi disappeared overnight?

Hmm?

Xiao Yan frowned. Is it really that bad? Xiao Yan knew very well that there were not a few of his peers who broke through to become Dou Zhe around the age of twelve; he himself had become a Dou Zhe at around ten, and then rapidly broke through to become a Da Dou Shi in two years.

If Nalan Yanran was not mistaken, then how could the Xiao Clan be only on par with, or even slightly weaker than, the Yunlan Sect?

"Are you telling the truth?" Xiao Yan stared at Nalan Yanran with cold eyes and spoke, momentarily ignoring the fact that she had mocked him.

"What truth or lies." Nalan Yanran said impatiently: "This young lady hopes you will not pester us here, or even make up lies about being a peerless genius."

"You playboy who relies on your family, a piece of trash, what qualifications do you have to be mentioned in the same breath as me? The Xiao Clan can help you for a moment, but they cannot protect you for a lifetime. We are destined to become people of two different worlds..."

"Young Sect Master, watch your words!" Ge Ye hurriedly stopped Nalan Yanran, who was about to continue. Are you trying to get us killed?

He secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, the person most involved; at this moment, the other party's eyes were bloodshot,

and the veins on his hands were bulging.

This is the Xiao Clan, after all,

and he would not have the slightest doubt that if the other party were truly enraged, he would wipe out their group.

Can this young lady not consider the consequences of her words and actions? Ge Ye was filled with panic.

"Xiao Clan Iron Guard, mobilize!"

Just at this moment, Xiao Long's emotionless voice suddenly rang out in the hall. As soon as the words fell, a team of figures wearing ghost masks and exuding powerful auras appeared at the entrance, their blades drawn, causing cold sweat to break out on Ge Ye's forehead.

Even Nalan Yanran, who had always been fearless, was a little panicked; having always been well-protected, when had she ever seen such a murderous scene?

"Madam Xiao, it was the Young Sect Master who offended you. I wonder if you could spare us for the sake of the Yunlan Sect. Afterward, I will certainly report this to the Sect Master and come to the Xiao Clan to apologize." Ge Ye said hurriedly, fearing that if he were a step late, they would be executed on the spot.

To add some leverage, Ge Ye continued: "Madam Xiao, these two are the Young Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect and the disciple of Pill King Gu He. If something were to happen to them in the Xiao Clan, I fear it would not be good news for the Xiao Clan!"

Unfortunately, Ge Ye's words would likely have been sufficient if directed at an ordinary Dou Zong clan. A sect with a Dou Zong powerhouse and a Sixth Grade alchemist master is indeed not something an ordinary clan can afford to offend.

But...

"Yan'er, do as you please. My Xiao Clan can still bear the consequences!" Xiao Long said expressionlessly.

"Young Sect Master..." Upon hearing this, Ge Ye's expression brightened, and he hurriedly whispered to Nalan Yanran, hoping she would say something soft.

But alas...

Nalan Yanran seemed unable to grasp the current danger and remained merciless in her speech: "Xiao Yan, you really are just a piece of trash who only knows how to rely on your family. I, Nalan Yanran, would rather die than marry a piece of trash like you..."

"Say that again?" Just then, Xiao Yan said calmly. Despite this, Nalan Yanran felt as if she were facing a peerless ferocious beast, and her face turned pale.

But she quickly recovered, even showing disdain, and said: "What, do you really dare to lay a hand on me? You can consider this a threat; my grand-teacher has already broken through to the legendary Zunzhe Realm. If I truly die here... you can think about the consequences.

In short, I am determined to break off this engagement."

Ge Ye's expression brightened. No wonder his Young Sect Master was so confident; it turned out there was such a reason. He thought the Xiao Clan would surely back down, right?

"Hehe~ Miss Nalan is truly impressive!" Xiao Yan said with a smile, but that smile made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Rest assured, I will not do anything to you."

Xiao Yan was, of course, aware that if the Yunlan Sect truly had that legendary Dou Zun powerhouse, his own clan could be wiped out with a flip of a hand.

If the other party died in the Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan would be in huge trouble.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran could not help but sneer. If Xiao Yan had truly dared to attack her, she might have thought more highly of him. But now...

He was nothing but a coward!

Just as Nalan Yanran was thinking this, Xiao Yan's tone suddenly became intense: "You, Nalan Yanran, came to my Xiao Clan today to break off the engagement, even using your status to pressure others.

You simply believe that I, Xiao Yan, am not worthy of you, and that my Xiao Clan is inferior to your Yunlan Sect.

But I am still young and have plenty of time; how do you know that this young master cannot make a comeback in the future?

I, Xiao Yan, offer you a piece of advice: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the young because they are poor."

As the words fell, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Good, a good 'do not bully the young because they are poor'. You are worthy of being my, Xiao Zhan's, son; you should be this extraordinary."

Xiao Zhan and a group of Elders appeared before them.
