Chapter 8 Thirty Years in Hedong

He looked at Xiao Yan and spoke, his voice softened a bit.

"Xiao Yan, if that's the case, then let's make this agreement."

"Three years later, if you defeat me, I, Nalan Yanran, will be your slave and servant at your disposal."

"If, three years later, I manage to defeat you by chance!"

"Don't worry, I will only cancel this engagement with you completely. I won't do anything to you."

"I just want to tell you that it's not wrong for a girl not to want to marry someone she doesn't like!"

Listening to Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan's expression became complicated.

Finally, he nodded heavily and said,

"it is good."

Then he angrily said to Xiao Ran who was lying there leisurely,

"Thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east. Don't despise the young and poor!"

"That's right!" Nalan Yanran also echoed.

"Okay! Nalan Yanran, you will wait for me, Xiao Yan, in Yunlan Sect in three years."

Nalan Yanran nodded gently, then turned to Xiao Zhan and said apologetically,

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand.

"I don't deserve it. Young Sect Master is the disciple of Sect Master Yun Yun of Yun Lan Sect. It is true that my Yan Er is not worthy of you."

Nalan Yanran bit her lips lightly with her pearly teeth, then looked at Ge Ye who was standing beside her.

Elder Ge Ye nodded slowly and reached out to gently touch his ring.

A green box appeared in his hand.

“Patriarch Xiao, this is the Qi Gathering Powder of the fourth-grade elixir refined by our Yunlan Sect’s elder, the Dan King Master Guhe.”

"Our clan leader ordered me to bring it here!"

As he spoke, Ge Ye opened the jade box.

Three round pills suddenly appeared, and a strong medicinal fragrance spread out.

Those members of the Xiao family who were closest to him all felt that the circulation of the fighting spirit in their bodies seemed to have accelerated a bit when they heard it.

Not to mention the younger generations of the Xiao family, even the three elders of the Xiao family had gleams in their eyes at this moment.

This is the fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill!

The effect of Qi Gathering Powder is very simple and crude, that is, it can help people with the ninth level of fighting energy to condense the cyclone 100% and successfully advance to a fighter.

If the Xiao family can possess three Qi Gathering Powders, then it means that the Xiao family will definitely have three fighters.

But it is obvious that the person in charge is Xiao Zhan.

The three elders could only cast eager glances at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan ignored the three old men and could not help but frowned.
"Elder Ge Ye, what are you doing..."

Elder Ge Ye smiled apologetically and said,
"It's a bit presumptuous of me to bring Nalan Yanran here this time."

"This is our Yunlan Sect's apology to the Xiao family. I hope Patriarch Xiao will accept it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's self-esteem suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. He clenched his fists and was about to ask his father to refuse.

But at this moment, Xiao Ran's voice was heard again.

"Since the Yunlan Sect is so kind, there is no need for you to refuse, my Xiao family will accept it."

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Xiao Zhan swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth.

After a brief thought, he bowed to Ge Ye and said,
"In that case, please ask Elder Ge Ye to thank Sect Master Yun on behalf of my Xiao family after returning to Yunlan Sect."

"You're too polite, Patriarch Xiao."

Ge Ye cupped his hands, then gently pushed with one hand.

Dou Qi gently pushed the jade box onto the table next to Xiao Zhan.

Seeing that things have come to this, there is no point in staying any longer.

Ge Ye stood up and bowed, saying, "Chief Xiao, we have important matters to attend to, so we will take our leave first."

Xiao Zhan returned the gift.

"Everyone, take care. I won't see you off."

After everyone from the Yunlan Sect left,
Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at the young men who were peeking around in the hall, and could not help but frown and scolded,

"What are you all still doing here? Go and practice!"

"If you don't practice well, what happened today will happen to you tomorrow!"

All the younger generations of the Xiao family dispersed in a hurry.

Although everyone was coveting the Qi Gathering Powder, now was clearly not the right time.

Only Xiao Yan was still standing beside Xiao Zhan, with his head lowered and silent.

Of course, there was also Xiao Ran lying on a chair in the Xiao family's living room, and Xiao Xun'er who was leaning on his head.

Xiao Zhan and the elders were no longer surprised.

Xiao Zhan came to Xiao Ran with the box of Qi Gathering Powder in his hand and asked doubtfully,
"Ran'er, what exactly did you mean by asking me to accept this Qi Gathering Powder?"

Xiao Ran closed his eyes, as if he saw something wonderful, and said with a faint smile,
"Father, you don't need to worry too much about this."

"It's just a few Qi Gathering Powders."

"For my Xiao family, this elixir may be a little bit jealous."

"But for the wealthy Yunlan Sect, it is not worth mentioning at all."

"If we don't accept it, they won't say we have backbone. Otherwise, why would they hold on to their young master?"

"Perhaps, it will also cause the Yunlan Sect's top leaders to have wild thoughts."

"In the city of Wutan alone, my Xiao family has several families confronting each other."

"If Yunlan Sect has any ideas about us because of a few Qi Gathering Powders, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Zhan and the three elders of the Xiao family all suddenly understood.

"I see!"

Xiao Zhan slapped his forehead fiercely, "It seems that I was blinded by anger earlier."

The elder gave a thumbs up and said,
"Xiao Ran is worthy of being the genius of our Xiao family. He has not only cultivated a talent that far exceeds that of ordinary people!"

"No one can match this kind of character and foresight!"

"Yes! If we accept this Qi Gathering Powder, we can not only avoid the things that Xiao Ran said might happen." The second elder said excitedly.

"And with the benefit of three Qi Gathering Powders, my Xiao family has three more fighters!"

"It really is a case of killing two birds with one stone, taking one step and looking three steps ahead! I admire you so much!" The third elder also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ran was slightly stunned. He was just thinking of taking advantage of any opportunity.

Moreover, Xiao Yan's face is worthless right now, so he wants to use this to humiliate him deeply and make him work harder!
As for the Yunlan Sect's revenge, that was pure nonsense on his part.

The Yunlan Sect is a large and powerful family, and the current leader of the Yunlan Sect is Yun Yun.

She is not a narrow-minded person, so why would she care about the Xiao family in a remote city like Wutan?
Of course, this possibility does not exclude the people under Yun Yun's command.

However, in the original novel, the Xiao family did not encounter any disturbances during the three-year agreement.

Some of them were instigated by the group of soul cubs from the Soul Palace in the Yunlan Sect.

But how come among so many people, I am the one who thinks so far ahead?

Do you have one? Maybe!
Xiao Ran said to Xiao Yan, who was standing next to Xiao Zhan with his head down.

"Emperor Yan, you must remember this!"

"If you have the ability, go to Yunlan Sect in three years and beat that little bitch into submission, so that she will give birth to your children obediently in the future!"

After hearing what Xiao Ran said, Xiao Yan blushed and said,
"Brother Ran, I, I didn't mean that!"

"A momentary humiliation is nothing; a true man is one who can bend and stretch himself."

Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard this. He felt that this sentence was familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

However, in response to Xiao Ran's exhortation, he nodded heavily.
