Chapter 622: Fate
Xiao Yan regained the opportunity to practice, and since then he has soared to heaven.

He broke through the shackles of the past with unstoppable force. It took him a year to return to his previous level of cultivation. All the sarcasm and ridicule in the Xiao family also disappeared.

But what Xiao Yan wanted was not just to get back what had been taken away from him.

Life is long, how could Xiao Yan stop here?
Xiao Yan embarked on his own journey of experience, left the Xiao family and headed to the World of Warcraft Mountains.

Countless battles, countless fights.

Holding a heavy ruler, Xiao Yan wiped off the blood stains on his body, but he smelled an unusual smell of blood near the pool.

Xiao Yan, who had already gotten used to the law of the jungle in the Monster Mountain Range, subconsciously grasped the handle of the Xuan Zhong Ruler.

"Ho-ho-"

Afterwards, Xiao Yan saw the proud girl, covered in blood and breathing softly, at the edge of a waterfall river beach in the Warcraft Mountain Range.

"——Nalan?"

Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. How could she appear here?

"Xiao...?"

When Nalan Yanran, who was covered in blood, saw Xiao Yan, she subconsciously wanted to stand up, but at this moment her body obviously did not allow her to continue to be so stubborn.

When her wound was affected, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but let out a breath, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran who had fainted in the stream, and was obviously in a state of hesitation and despair.

But even if there was no connection between the two anymore, Xiao Yan naturally couldn't bear to see his ex-fiancée die here like this.

Just consider it as a return for the three Qi Gathering Powders she gave me back then.

Convincing himself in his heart, Xiao Yan put away the Xuan Zhong Ruler and carefully picked up Nalan Yanran, who was still bleeding in the stream.

"..."

Yao Lao just watched quietly and did not try to stop him.

As someone who had been through this, he could see a little bit of the emotional entanglement between the two.

After finding a cave, Xiao Yan tore off Nalan Yanran's clothes and applied medicine to her to heal her wounds. The sense of distance and shame he had towards ordinary women in his heart disappeared completely when he saw Nalan Yanran.

Perhaps it is because we were particularly familiar with each other in the past that this is the case.

But even so, Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal a hint of hesitation on his face.

Even so, Nalan Yanran has changed a lot.

The rumor that girls change a lot when they grow up is not groundless after all.

After a brief hesitation, Xiao Yan cleaned her wound, applied medicine, and re-bandaged it.

Even though she was a powerful fighter after all, and a minor skin injury might not kill her, Xiao Yan still applied medicine to her very carefully. With her level of cultivation, she would surely recover soon.

"Even if you treat her well like this, she may not be in a good mood towards you when she wakes up."

Yao Lao's tone was neither salty nor bland, as if he had foreseen the fate of the two people long ago, but he did not try to stop them. There are some things that cannot be convinced by just talking.

He must be made to see the bitter fruit of his own actions.

Xiao Yan didn't care.

"It's already been done, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Ho..."

Yao Lao shook his head, and guessed that Xiao Yan would definitely say this.

He didn't say anything more and returned to Xiao Yan's storage ring.

Xiao Yan didn't have to wait too long before Nalan Yanran woke up.

The wounds on her body no longer stung, and she felt almost numb all over. It didn't hurt, but it was still a little difficult for her to adapt.

Her body was no longer cold, and the crackling flames made her cheeks slightly warm.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a young man sitting next to the fire, quietly watching the flames flicker, the orange-red light shining on his face.

"Xiao... As expected, it's you."

Nalan Yanran's reaction was much smaller than Xiao Yan had imagined. She seemed to have quickly accepted the fact that she was rescued by Xiao Yan by chance. Besides, she was not so self-indulgent as to doubt whether Xiao Yan would follow her every day just for this purpose.

...It would be better to say that if this guy could really be this smart, things between them wouldn't have turned out like this.

"…You are injured. Although it is not serious, you should not move until your wound heals."

Xiao Yan stared at the flickering flames, and his dark red eyes were dyed orange.

"Ah."

Nalan Yanran knew that Xiao Yan had no other intentions, and she was too lazy to torture herself anymore, and she didn't have the habit of humiliating herself.

Just silently turning her gaze to the other side, Nalan Yanran saw the neatly folded clothes.

"My clothes, my wounds, are you...?"

"Hey...is there a third person here besides you and me?"

Xiao Yan let out a long sigh. He knew that Nalan Yanran would definitely care about this kind of thing... But think about it... Which woman would not care about this kind of thing?

"I knew it."

"I understand... but even if you want revenge, let's talk about it later."

It was difficult for Xiao Yan to explain exactly what kind of feelings he had towards Nalan now, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not completely let it go. It was a tangled mess that he could not sort out.

"So, does the dignified Young Master of the Yunlan Sect also need to come to a place like this where there is no human habitation to train?"

Xiao Yan said softly. He didn't really want to talk about the problems between them. The entanglement and missed opportunities made him particularly irritated.

"I have passed all the trials in the Yunlan Sect."

Nalan Yanran said softly: "I am unwilling to stop here and indulge in the unwarranted praise from others."

“I’m going to keep going, keep going.”

"That's very much your style."

"What about you? Has your cultivation recovered?" Nalan Yanran asked.

"Yes - I have recovered, but I am still a little far from you now. I may not be sure about that in the future."

Nalan Yanran could naturally hear that Xiao Yan was no longer as decadent as before, which made the slight depression in her heart dissipate.

"But I'm no worse than you."

"I can tell."

In addition, Wuyan and Nalan Yanran also improved very quickly. The two of them practiced together in the Demon Beast Mountain Range for a period of time. While one of them practiced, the other protected him, and they both made great progress.

But all good things must come to an end in this world. In the Warcraft Mountains, all we need to consider is that tomorrow will eventually end.

Soon, it was the day for the two to part.

Xiao Yan continued his training, while Nalan Yanran returned to the Yunlan Sect.

"I'm leaving."

"It can be seen that the young master is indeed staying in Yunlan Mountain and continuing to look down on all living beings."

"Don't disgust me with such words!"

Nalan Yanran suddenly drew her sword, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at Xiao Yan's throat. The strange thing was that even though she had practiced sword skills for more than ten years, the tip of the sword could not help but tremble slightly at this moment.

"Let me ask you a question."

"You said."

"What am I in your eyes?"

"——Is this a sufficient answer to the mistakes I made?"

Xiao Yan exhaled lightly, then said: "Then in exchange, what am I in your eyes?"

"It's an evil fate that can't be shaken off. I've already called off the engagement...but you still cling to me."

Nalan Yanran bit her teeth lightly and said, finally she couldn't help but tremble the sword, making a beautiful sword flower, she put away the sword in her hand, then stepped forward and bit his lip.

When the stinging pain and the taste of blood burst out in her mouth, Nalan Yanran pushed Xiao Yan away.

She was just about to leave in such a carefree manner, treating the blood on the corner of her lips as a trophy, but Xiao Yan grabbed her and couldn't get rid of her.

"One day, I will propose marriage to Yunlan Sect."

"…Do I really have to seek compensation for this behavior?"

Xiao Yan's sudden words did not make Nalan Yanran feel much happy. Instead, she felt more angry at how she was treated.

"What if I insist on marrying you?"

Xiao Yan naturally realized where Nalan Yanran's anger came from. She thought that his sudden frankness was just due to his awkwardness and possessiveness as a man, so he couldn't help but change his words temporarily.

"—Then you'd better do what you say."

Gradually realizing that what Xiao Yan said was true, Nalan Yanran's reaction was no longer as strong as before.

After they parted, Xiao Yan left the Monster Mountain Range to continue his trials, but met her again in the Tagor Desert.

"Didn't you go back?"

"It just so happens that there are forces related to the Yunlan Sect near the Tagor Desert. It's not impossible for me to take a break there after my training."

"What about you? What do you want to do, crossing the desert alone?"

"…You said that as if you would help me if I told you."

"That depends on what you want to do."

"There is a strange fire under the Tagor Desert. You can't help me."

Xiao Yan shook his head.

“You’ll have to go there to find out.”

Nalan Yanran was as stubborn as ever.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to take her along the way.

Taking the Yunlan Sect's young master along saved Xiao Yan a lot of trouble.

When Xiao Yan obtained the strange fire from underground in Shimo City, he let out a breath of foul air.

"…It's still uncertain whether I will live or die this time."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there someone to take the blame for you?"

Nalan Yanran gently tucked the loose hair on her temples and spoke softly.

"That's true."

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

After obtaining the strange fire, Xiao Yan soared into the sky.

Not long after, he returned to the Jiama Empire and went to the Yunlan Sect with Nalan Yanran.

Needless to say, what this is about.

Yun Yun watched her disciple holding the boy's hand and walking along the way. She couldn't help but sigh softly, and then she couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yan, why did you come to my Yunlan Sect?"

"Xiao Yan came here only to ask for Nalan Yanran's hand in marriage."

…………

In the chaos, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but frown slightly, and then slowly opened her light blue eyes.

Illusions and dreams, everything is still vivid in my mind.

But it was clearly just an illusion of the ancient Bodhi tree, yet she couldn't help but let out a conflicted sigh.

"This guy... is saying something incomprehensible again..."
