Chapter 36: Taking You to Have Fun
Nalan Yanran stared in astonishment at the two flickering figures on the martial arts arena. Her dynamic vision as a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) was completely unable to capture their movements!
Moreover, the sonic booms produced by the collision of their bodies clearly demonstrated the immense strength of both individuals.
Nalan Yanran was convinced in her heart that if she were to fight either of them, the result would only be instant defeat!
Is this really just the strength of Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level)?
Nalan Yanrans heart sank deeply. Even the guard with a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) cultivation level in the Nalan family, would never have such a show of force!
Three-years bet?
It wouldnt even take three years!
Xiao Yan could knock her down with ease right now!
At this moment, Nalan Yanran suddenly recalled the words Ya Fei had said to her just now.
Put away your arrogance, put away your self-righteousness.
Setting aside your family background, do you really deserve to be Xiao Yans wife?
!!!!!!!!
Despair was written all over Nalan Yanrans face as she knelt down powerlessly.
What have I been so proud of all this time
Because of her exceptional talent, she had been hailed as a once-in-a-century pride of heaven by those around her, and Nalan Yanran was extremely proud of the adulation she received from others.
It was precisely because of this that she looked down on her unseen fianc, the fallen genius, and made such a pompous show of bringing Ge Ye to Wutan City for the annulment.
Although Nalan Yanran knew that even if she hadnt known that Xiao Yan was him, her unseen fianc would still be a talented person adored by many, and she would still come back to annul the engagement because she had already fallen in love with Xiao Yan before even knowing his name. She couldnt bear to be with anyone else in her life.
But in that case, she would never have used that kind of high-handedness, even bordering on coercion, to force the other party to annul the engagement!
This was a matter of mindset, a fundamental mistake, and Nalan Yanran wouldnt make any excuses for it.
In her heart, Nalan Yanran posed a soul-searching question to herself.
Do I really deserve Xiao Yan?
Meanwhile, as Nalan Yanran was in her low spirits, the victor was decided on the martial arts arena.
Due to his momentary lack of reaction, Xiao Ning was hit hard on the shoulder by Xiao Yans punch, and he fell directly from the martial arts platform, signifying his defeat.
Ouch my butt
Xiao Ning frowned, massaging his buttocks as he stood up and looked up at Xiao Yan on the martial arts platform.
As expected, I still cant beat you
Alright, if you dont want to go, I wont force you. Ill go by myself then. See you later!
After saying that, Xiao Ning waved his hand and swiftly walked through the bustling crowd, disappearing in an instant.
Watching Xiao Ning disappear in that direction, Xiao Yan helplessly shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze to the Xiao Clan juniors who were still competing on the martial arts platform.
But indeed, theres nothing to do now Xiao Yan muttered to himself and leisurely walked through the crowd. Lets just wander around.
Just as Xiao Yan was passing through the dense crowd and about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. He took a few steps back and immediately saw Nalan Yanran kneeling in the crowd.
Why was this girl kneeling on the ground?
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and approached Nalan Yanran. He squatted down and asked softly, Little glutton, why are you kneeling?
Upon hearing this familiar nickname, Nalan Yanran instinctively shrank her body. She slowly turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Yan
Nalan Yanran stared blankly at Xiao Yan for a few seconds before regaining her senses. Soon, an extremely complicated expression appeared on her face. She turned her head away and dared not look into Xiao Yans eyes.
Im fine
Nalan Yanran slowly stood up, lowered her head, and let her hair cover her eyes. She whispered to Xiao Yan, Ill go back to the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect first. Please bid farewell to Uncle Xiao on my behalf.
After speaking, Nalan Yanran turned to leave but was suddenly stopped by Xiao Yan, who firmly grabbed her wrist.
What happened?
Xiao Yan furrowed his brows tightly and asked with a serious tone.
Nalan Yanran didnt even care that he called her a little glutton. This was a big issue!
Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment and then answered softly.
Im fine. Theres no need to worry about me.
As she tried to retract her hand, Xiao Yan held onto it tightly, not letting go as she wished.
Let go of me.
If you leave normally, I naturally wont stop you, Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanrans profile and said in a calm voice, But in your current state, I absolutely cannot let you leave.
The first reason was that Nalan Yanran was the precious daughter of the Nalan family and also the future Sect Master of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect. If she returned in this condition, it was likely that rumors would spread about the Xiao Clan mistreating Nalan Yanran.
Bad news travels fast, and Xiao Yan has experienced it firsthand.
The second reason was that although he didnt know why Nalan Yanran had become like this, Xiao Yan vaguely felt that it was related to him. Because of this, he couldnt just ignore the situation.
But with her current appearance, it would be difficult to rely on words alone.
With a firm decision in his heart, Xiao Yan held Nalan Yanrans jade-like arm and walked toward the exit of the Xiao Clans courtyard. He turned his head, smiled at her before she could ask any questions, and said, Come with me. Ill take you to a fun place.
