Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 37: Annulling Marriage Agreement

"Haha! Is the Yunlan Sect very strong? Your Yunlan Sect is barely considered a second-rate force in the Douqi Continent." Xiao Xun'er walked from the crowd to Xiao Yan's side, and her autumn-water-like eyes suddenly emitted a tiny golden flame.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with the Xiao family?" Ge Ye looked at the tiny golden flame in the girl's eyes, his body trembled violently, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that if you can't fulfill the bet, I will not let you leave this Wutan City." Although Xiao Xun'er spoke in a gentle voice, everyone present felt the chill in her words.

Ge Ye glanced at Nalan Yanran, and he was at a loss at this moment. Although he didn't know Xiao Xun'er's true identity, the golden flame in her eyes was enough to prove that her identity was not simple.

Nalan Yanran knew that there was no way to end this peacefully today. She couldn't hide anymore. She broke free from Ge Ye's support and walked to the prepared desk with difficulty. She picked up a pen and dipped it in ink. She said to Xiao Yan, "You can tell me what you want me to write!"

At this moment, Nalan Yanran no longer had the arrogant attitude she had when she first came to the Xiao family. Tears kept welling up in her eyes, and the brush in her hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

Xiao Yan would not pity Nalan Yanran. If someone humiliates others, they will always be humiliated. If it was him, Xiao Yan, who lost today, Nalan Yanran would not be polite either.

“Just write that I, Nalan Yanran, am arrogant and look down on others. Relying on the fact that I am the daughter of the Nalan family and a disciple of Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, I often take advantage of others’ power. I am selfish and only care about my own interests. I never consider the feelings of others. I disobey my elders, act impulsively, and do whatever it takes to achieve my goals. Someone like me is really not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. I am writing this marriage annulment agreement as proof of this!” Xiao Yan said lightly.

When Nalan Yanran heard what Xiao Yan said, her chest trembled with anger and the hand holding the pen also shook continuously.

If it were really written like this, how would Nalan Yanran be able to walk around the continent in the future!

"Isn't that too much?" Ge Ye was also a little dissatisfied after hearing what Xiao Yan asked Nalan Yanran to write.

"Haha, what Brother Xiao Yan said is absolutely right!" Xun'er echoed from the side.

Nalan Yanran was silent for a while, and quickly wrote down what Xiao Yan said on the paper. After finishing, she picked up the sword and cut a deep wound on the palm of her hand.

The blood-stained palm left a glaring blood mark on the white paper.

Nalan Yanran slammed the bloody marriage annulment agreement heavily on Xiao Yan.

"Now you should be satisfied!"

"Haha, you were the one who came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, and now you become the victim! Who are you pretending to be so pitiful for? Now there is no relationship between us anymore, please leave!" Xiao Yan said with a sneer.

Ge Ye sighed deeply and prepared to take the two of them away from the Xiao family. What happened today was really beyond his expectations.

Unexpectedly, Nalan Yanran stopped after taking two steps, turned around and said to Xiao Yan: "It was me, Nalan Yanran, who was wrong about what happened today, but the sect should not be held responsible for my mistake. Do you dare to compete with me again? I will wait for you in Yunlan Sect in three years. If I lose, I will be your slave for the rest of my life and you can do whatever you want with me. If you violate my promise, you will be punished by heaven and earth. If you lose, I will hand over this contract and apologize to me in front of everyone in Yunlan Sect. Do you dare?"

"I've already won, why should I keep your three-year promise? I don't have so much time to waste." Xiao Yan said calmly.

"You can refuse to agree, but it is a fact that the Yunlan Sect is stronger than the Xiao family after all. If anyone from the sect comes to the Xiao family to cause trouble..." Nalan Yanran said with a hint of threat.

“Haha, okay! It’s just a three-year agreement, I agree! But if I lose again, don’t say anything like committing suicide for the honor of the Yunlan Sect!” Xiao Yan said sarcastically.

"Hmph! I will personally wash away the humiliation I suffered in the Xiao family today. Let's go!" Nalan Yanran snorted coldly and turned to leave. "I have to go out and gain experience as soon as possible, but before that, I'd better make some healing medicine for the Xiao family in case of emergency." Xiao Yan said to himself as he looked at Nalan Yanran who was leaving.

Although the Jialie family is no longer as powerful as before, it is precisely because of this that the Jialie family will do anything desperate. For example, they will invite Liu Xi in advance, and once an alchemist joins, the situation will be reversed in an instant.

After Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to leave the Xiao family and went to the Miter Auction House to get the medicine cauldron and the medicinal materials for refining the blood clotting powder.

Xiao Yan went to a secluded corner and put on a black cloak as usual. After changing, Xiao Yan did not rush to the Miter family immediately. Instead, he asked Yao Lao: "Teacher, I want to go out and gain some experience. What do you think?"

"Go out for training? But you will have your coming-of-age ceremony in a year. Why don't you wait until after the ceremony to go out for training? Is it because of Nalan Yanran?" Yao Lao asked doubtfully.

"Nalan Yanran? She doesn't have the qualifications!" Xiao Yan said disdainfully.

"Oh? If it's not because of Nalan Yanran, then could it be because of Xiao Xun'er?" Yao Lao said jokingly.

"I just want to become stronger. There's no need for so many reasons." Xiao Yan's heart was touched and he said angrily.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore! But if you want to go out and gain experience, you need to prepare a lot of outdoor survival supplies. This time we go to the Mitre Auction House to prepare them together." Yao Lao put away his smile and said seriously.

Since this was not the first time Xiao Yan came to the Mitel Auction House, his strange appearance was already familiar to all the insiders of the auction house. Therefore, when the people in the auction house saw the figure in the black cloak from afar, they quickly notified Ya Fei and Gu Ni.

After listening to the report from their subordinates, Ya Fei and Gu Ni quickly put down their work and went to the entrance of the auction house to lead Xiao Yan into the waiting room.

"The medicinal herbs and medicine cauldron you need have been prepared for you, old sir. However, since you purchased too many medicinal herbs, Ya Fei took the initiative to give you a storage ring." Ya Fei said with a chuckle, and picked up the storage ring from the maid's tray and handed it to the man in black.

"Haha, you are thoughtful. It's just a storage ring. The old man won't take advantage of you. Just count it together! Also, please prepare some survival supplies for the wild. I will come to get them in a few days." Yao Lao directly handed a blue jade card to Ya Fei.

In fact, Ya Fei really wanted to give the ring to the old man, because a fourth-grade alchemist was worth her trying to win over. But since the old man didn't want it, Ya Fei naturally wouldn't force it on him. That would be too deliberate, and would not only fail to win the old man's favor, but would cause his dissatisfaction.

After paying the bill, Xiao Yan picked up the storage ring, casually put it on his finger, and said, "Then I'll leave first, you don't have to see me off."

Seeing the black-robed man leave, Ya Fei frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why did the old man ask us to prepare supplies for survival in the wild? Could it be that he, a fourth-grade alchemist, wants to go out for training?"

"Haha, remember what I said before? This old man may have accepted an apprentice in Wutan City." Gu Ni said with a chuckle.

"You mean..." Yafei also came back to her senses at this time.

“Well, if anyone has disappeared in Wutan City recently, it means that he is very likely to be accepted as a disciple by this old gentleman.” Gu Ni said lightly.

“Haha, I don’t know whose child is so lucky to be accepted as an apprentice by a fourth-grade alchemist.” Ya Fei said with a sigh.
