Chapter 5: Unfairness

Chapter 5: Unfairness

Nalan Yanran proposed this three-year bet, which was naturally the idea of Ge Ye.

If Xiao Yan couldnt defeat Nalan Yanran after three years, then Nalan Yanrans wish would be fulfilled and she could marry Xiao Yan.

If Nalan Yanran lost to Xiao Yan, the engagement would be canceled, but it would also prove that Xiao Yan was worthy of Nalan Yanran. If Nalan Yanran pursued him again at that time, Xiao Yan could not use this as an excuse to refuse.

In other words, Nalan Yanran would not lose in any case.

Moreover, in order to ensure that she could marry Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran would certainly practice harder to ensure that she could defeat Xiao Yan, which was also a good thing for the Yunlan Sect.

Everyone understood the reason.

But why did it feel strange?

Xiao Zhan and the three elders frowned, showing suspicion between their brows.

There was nothing wrong with the logic, but why did it feel weird?

Did Nalan Yanran really fall in love with Xiao Yan?

Xiao Zhan, who was Xiao Yans father, frowned. He knew his son was excellent, but was he really so excellent that the future sect leader of the Yunlan Sect would marry him no matter what?

Moreover, Xiao Yans Dao Qi had been stagnating for some reason, and no one could guarantee that they could solve this problem. If Xiao Yan really lost to Nalan Yanran, she would end up marrying a useless husband. Did she not care about that?

Xiao Yan quietly looked at Nalan Yanran, feeling slightly uneasy.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yan once again clasped his fists and solemnly replied, I accept this three-year agreement.

What?! Why did you accept?! As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Mei exploded. Shes the one who begged and pleaded to marry you, why wah wah wah!!!

Can you please keep your mouth shut?!

Xiao Ning quickly came behind Xiao Mei with his crutch and covered her mouth with one hand to prevent her from speaking recklessly.

Nalan Yanran ignored Xiao Mei and looked at Ge Ye.

Elder Ge Ye, please put the gift down, Xiao Yan may need it in the future.

After speaking, Nalan Yanran turned and left the reception hall, glancing at Xiao Xuner deeply before departing.

Both of them saw the flames of a formidable rival in each others gaze.

Nalan Yanran knew that the impulsive and brainless little girl, Xiao Mei, was not her true enemy, but rather Xiao Xuner with her cold calculation was.

Niece Nalan, Elder Ge Ye, please take care on your way back!

Xiao Zhan and the three elders stood up to see their guests off. And so, Yunlan Sect left Wutan City in a grand and imposing manner, leaving the city to return to its former calmness.

After Yunlan Sect had left, everyone returned to the reception hall. Xiao Ning also released his hand covering Xiao Meis mouth, only to be met with a hard heel stomp on his foot.

Xiao Ning! Have you no manners?! How dare you stop me, your aunt?!

Xiao Mei grabbed Xiao Nings collar and angrily reprimanded him. The second elder, who was standing by, couldnt bear to watch any longer.

Let go! Do you know how much disgrace you have done?!!

Tsk!

Seeing her grandfather really getting angry, Xiao Mei let go of Xiao Ning, who was grinning awkwardly, and came to Xiao Yans side, scolding him.

Cousin Xiao Yan! How could you agree to her? You wont be able to beat her in three years looking like this!

As the three elders looked at the emerald-sized pill in the box, their eyes widened in amazement.

In their small Xiao Clan, it would take years to come across a genuine pill, let alone a pill as precious as this.

As expected of the Yunlan Sect. They sure know how to make a grand gesture, said the elder stroking his beard, while the second elder spoke softly.

Since it was given to Xiao Yan, let the clan leader keep it for now.

Upon hearing the second elders words, both the elder and the second elder nodded in agreement.

Years ago, when Xiao Yans talent had yet to fall, he often taught the Xiao Clans children about the many principles that were completely opposite to the law of the jungle in the training room.

Gradually, these teachings also reached the ears of the three elders.

At first, the three elders dismissed Xiao Yans teachings, but he was still the genius youth of the family at that time, and they didnt want to argue with him, allowing him to advocate his own ideas.

During this period, as the cohesion of the clan grew stronger and the relationships between Xiao Clans children improved, the three elders thinking was gradually transformed.

Eventually, they became more open-minded.

Its true, a person only lives for so long, and if you spend all your time fighting with your family members, whats the point?

Isnt it better to live in harmony, helping and respecting each other like they do now, generation after generation?

Moreover, with their talents, they knew that they could only climb so high. Whats the point of becoming someone elses stepping stone?

Although the Xiao Clan is not a major force, they are comfortable in the small city of Wutan. Whats wrong with that?

Since then, the three elders desire for gain has greatly decreased, and their approach to dealing with people has become more focused on human relationships. They often feel the warmth brought by their family members, even after Xiao Yans downfall.

As the saying goes, a harmonious family leads to everything prospering.

And all of this is thanks to Xiao Yan.

Elders, now that Xiao Yan is like this, such a valuable item should be given to the new talents in the family. It wouldnt be fair if I receive special treatment just because Im the son of the Xiao Clan head. This would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other Xiao Clan members and create disharmony in the family.

However, Xiao Yan sternly declined, making the three elders slightly stunned, showing a hint of helplessness on their faces.

I think other people should not have any objections.

Thats right, other people surely wont have any objections.

All of the Xiao Clan members consider Xiao Yan as their leader, and even if he monopolizes favoritism, no one will feel dissatisfied.

Moreover, this was originally a gift given to Xiao Yan, and he has the right to have exclusive access to it.

Everyones lack of objections comes from their tolerant and magnanimous hearts. However, I cannot be arrogant and greedy, and take advantage of others. Therefore, this Qi Gathering Pill is too precious for me to accept. Xiao Yan didnt give the three elders a chance to argue, and continued, Father, elders, the training of the family members is not yet over. Xiao Yan will take his leave first and go supervise them.

Cousin Xiao Yan! Wait for me!

After speaking, Xiao Yan turned and left the meeting hall, with Xiao Meier and Xiao Xuner quickly following.

Looking at Xiao Yans departure, the three elders all let out a long sigh.

The heavens are truly unfair

Xiao Zhan tightly clenched his fists, with infinite sadness in his eyes.

However, everyone ignored the sight of Xiao Ning, who was miserably beaten up by Xiao Meier and Xiao Xuner in front of the meeting hall.

Well, he deserved it for talking too much!
