Chapter 149: The Helpless Yun Shan of Chapter 147

"What the hell, that kid asked for leave?" Xiao Zhan stared blankly at the Xiao Clan member reporting before him.

"Yes, the Third Young Master even sparred with that instructor from Jia Nan Academy and successfully obtained leave from that Instructor Ruolin," the Xiao Clan member reported with a slightly surprised tone.

He hadn't expected his own Third Young Master to be so wild! To actually be able to trade blows with a Great Dou Shi with the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zhe. He truly is worthy of being the son of the Clan Leader!

"What about Xun Er?" Xiao Zhan asked again. Xiao Zhan still had to pay close attention to his future daughter-in-law.

(Gu Yuan: "Xiao Clan brat, you actually dare to attempt to raise your own seniority, how rebellious!")

"Miss Xun Er is already at the six-star Great Dou Shi cultivation level,

which shocked everyone at the time, and she also successfully joined Jia Nan Academy." The man replied.

He couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart; could this Jia Nan Academy have something special about it? Both of the Xiao Clan's greatest geniuses were running off there.

"Alright, you may withdraw!"

"Yes!"

Not long after that Xiao Clan member left, Xiao Yan came to visit again.

"Yo, you kid never visits without a reason, speak, what do you want to do now?" Xiao Zhan said irritably.

"Father,

I want to go out and train on my own."

"I agree!"

"Eh?" Xiao Yan was confused and puzzled. Was it that easy? Aren't you worried that your precious son might meet with some misfortune?

"What is it!" Xiao Zhan noticed Xiao Yan's strange look and said crossly: "With your teacher protecting you, I don't believe anything can happen to you in the Jia Ma Empire!"

"Besides, isn't it just to deal with that Three Year Agreement? Don't worry, when the time comes, your old man will go personally to cheer you on." Xiao Zhan said dismissively.

"It's just a mere Yunlan Sect. You better give that little girl named Nalan Yanran a good lesson for your father. She really thinks my Xiao Clan cares about her! Hmph!"

Although he didn't care about breaking off the engagement, Nalan Yanran's initial behavior of forcefully calling off the marriage as if throwing away a burden made Xiao Zhan very unhappy.

Since he couldn't bully the young, he could only pin his hopes on Xiao Yan beating her back. As for not winning? Then he just wouldn't win, he didn't care!

Reputation? Does the Xiao Clan still need such unnecessary things? He had long since passed the stage of pursuing superficial vanity.

The current Xiao Clan no longer accepts members of other surnames, so there is no need to show off its strength like academies and sects.

A certain Ancient Race is powerful enough, right? Aren't they still acting like grandsons now!

Losing some face, if it can let his own son grow,

winning the substance, that is also quite good!

"Yes,

Father, I will definitely win!" Xiao Yan did not know Xiao Zhan's true thoughts,

he only believed this was his father's trust in him, and he said with deep emotion and a firm, resonant voice.

"Brat, prepare well. If you can't win the Three Year Agreement, you will have failed your father's expectations." Just after walking out the door, Yao Lao's voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Teacher, I plan to set off tomorrow and enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range!" Xiao Yan said firmly.

"Then why aren't you going back to prepare!" Yao Lao's look of frustration at his failure to live up to expectations was very familiar.

……

Yunlan Sect main hall.

At this moment, Yun Shan was somewhat dumbfounded. He had only been in seclusion for a few years, it hadn't been that long, right? How could the Yunlan Sect encounter such a major event right after he came out of seclusion?

"You mean your disciple Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement?" Yun Shan stared fixedly at Yun Yun, confirming it once more. This was a matter concerning the life and death of the Yunlan Sect!

"Yes! Yanran said she didn't want to marry someone she had never met and wanted to dissolve the engagement, so I agreed." Yun Yun said as if it were a matter of course.

"It's just a piece of paper for an engagement, the Xiao Clan shouldn't mind, right?"

You are really something!

Yun Shan felt extremely helpless in his heart. The engagement was no big deal; with the Xiao Clan's strength, your disciple marrying over there would actually be us climbing the social ladder.

But your move of proactively going to break off the engagement is truly something else! In the Dou Qi Continent,

this is purely slapping the man in the face.

This old man only broke through to Dou Zun a few years ago and hasn't enjoyed the good life of a Venerable-level powerhouse for many days.

I just came out of the Shengsi Men, and you want to push me onto the Shengsi Tai? Are you in such a hurry to send me away and inherit my position as Supreme Elder?

Can't the position of Sect Master satisfy you anymore? If not, we can swap; I'll continue to be the Sect Master, and you can be the Supreme Elder. Why hurt the enemy by one hundred and lose eighty thousand?

"Is... is there anything else?" Yun Shan quickly adjusted himself; he couldn't lose his demeanor as a powerhouse.

"Yanran and that kid named Xiao Yan made a Three Year Agreement." Seemingly noticing that something was wrong with Yun Shan, a hint of hesitation appeared in Yun Yun's tone.

Afterwards, she explained the content of the Three Year Agreement under Yun Shan's increasingly ugly expression.

It's over!

Yun Shan's heart was as dead as ash. He didn't know if the Yunlan Sect could be preserved; at the very least, all its face would be lost!

"Teacher, that kid named Xiao Yan shouldn't be a match for Yanran, right? I heard Yanran say that Xiao Yan was still at the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi at fifteen!"

Yun Yun thought Yun Shan was worried that his disciple wouldn't win the Three Year Agreement and would cause the Yunlan Sect to lose face, so she explained.

"Sigh...!" Yun Shan looked at his beloved disciple with helplessness in his heart. You girl are truly too naive.

Although Yun Shan was not clear about the Xiao Clan's strength, Xiao Han's strength was extremely terrifying even to him now—a legendary Saint Realm powerhouse!

When Xiao Han was still in the Xiao Clan, he would occasionally visit the Yunlan Sect to catch up with Yun Shan.

Although the former for some reason only displayed the cultivation of a Seven-star Dou Zong, Yun Shan, who had already reached the Dou Zong Peak at that time, could still feel a fatal threat from him, as if if he were to fight him, he would definitely be the one to die.

And as the former's junior and the son of a Clan Leader, Yun Shan did not believe he was truly a piece of trash.

Out of his understanding of Xiao Han, Yun Shan vaguely guessed that the kid named Xiao Yan should not be simple.

Perhaps he was hiding his cultivation, or his elders were deliberately suppressing him.

Yun Shan now felt some regret. Why did he keep Xiao Han's secret so tightly, only for his own junior to turn around and deliver such a "big gift"!

"I am truly 'overwhelmed with gratitude'!"

"Forget it... I, this grandmaster, am just unlucky; I will go to the Xiao Clan myself to offer an apology," Yun Shan thought silently to himself.

He also knew that this could not be blamed on his disciple; if he had been unaware of the situation, he might have also provided enough compensation and then cast it to the back of his mind.

After all, in this world, the strong can break many rules.

But... right now, it is the Xiao Clan that is stronger! He could only do his best to preserve the Yunlan Sect.

He figured that as the family of that person, the Xiao Clan should not be so unreasonable, right! It was pitiful that he, Yun Shan, at his age, still had to clean up the mess for his grand-disciple; it was hard to put into words!

"Clan Leader, Supreme Elder Yun Shan of the Yunlan Sect has come to pay a visit."

"Senior Yun Shan? What has he come here for?" Xiao Zhan frowned, speaking with some confusion.

Xiao Zhan naturally knew of the former; as Yun Shan was one of the few old acquaintances Xiao Han had in the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Zhan still held this senior in high regard.

It was just that over the past ten years, although Xiao Han and Yun Shan had occasionally kept in touch, Xiao Zhan had almost no interaction with the other party, and they were quite like strangers to each other.

Filled with confusion, Xiao Zhan personally received the anxious Yun Shan.
