The atmosphere in the hall instantly became silent, and Geya's words also shocked the three elders sitting above. However, they soon cast mocking and sneering glances at Xiao Zhan.
"Haha, this is really embarrassing. Having someone come to the door to dissolve the engagement, what will the sect chief's prestige do in the future!"
Some young people of the clan were unaware of the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, but after inquiring with the elders nearby, they evidently found the matter quite amusing, casting mocking glances at Xiao Yan in the corner.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's dark expression, Nalan Yanran also dared not lift her head, lowering it instead, her fingers tightly intertwined.
"Chief Xiao, I understand that this request is very difficult for you, but please consider Grand Master's intention and cancel this engagement...," Geya sighed helplessly and said.
Xiao Zhan clenched his fist, and a blue fighting spirit slowly covered his body, eventually forming a lion's head illusion on his face.
The Xiao Family's top martial art: "Furious Lion's Roar! Level: High-grade Profound Rank!"
Seeing Xiao Zhan's movements, Geya also became serious, immediately standing in front of Nalan Yanran, gripping his hands tightly like the claws of a fierce bird. The blue Dou Qi in his hands fluctuated constantly, emitting a cold sword aura.
Yunlan Sect's profound martial arts: "Green Wood Sword Technique! Level: Low-grade Profound Tier!"
As their qi gradually erupted, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. The younger teenagers with weaker strength had a change in their facial expressions, feeling pressure in their chests. Just as Xiao Zhan was breathing rapidly, suddenly, a powerful pressure descended, evidently indicating that Gu Yunzhi had made a move.
"You...". I didn't expect his Qingmu Sword Technique to be easily broken by the opponent, as if the other party was very clear about the flaws in this move. That's the profound-level martial art of the Yunlan Sect!
"We are from the Yunlan Sect. There will be serious consequences for offending us," Geya warned.
Gu Yunzhi Upon hearing this sentence, I inexplicably felt very familiar. Are people from Yunlan Sect only capable of saying this one sentence?
But she did not want to reveal her identity, so she said, " Elder Geya, I just want to stop your meaningless fighting, and I have no intention of being an enemy to Yunlan Sect."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of further attack, Geya did not continue to pursue. Beside her was the future sect leader Nalan Yanran, and she must not be threatened in any way, lest she be used by the other party to threaten Yunlan Sect.
As the sense of oppression suddenly disappeared, Xiao Zhan's fighting spirit gradually converged until it completely dissipated.
He sat back wearily in his chair, looking at the silent Nalan Yanran with an expressionless face, and said in a slightly hoarse tone, "Miss Nalan, you really have courage. Nalan Su is truly fortunate to have a daughter like you."
Nalan Yanran trembled slightly and stammered, "Xiao... Uncle Xiao..."
"Haha, just call me Chief Xiao. I can't bear to be called 'uncle.' You are the future leader of Yunlan Sect and will be a renowned figure on The Continent of Douqi. My son Yan is just mediocre in talent and indeed not worthy of you..." Xiao Zhan waved his hand indifferently and continued in a cold tone.
"Thank you, Chief Xiao, for your understanding," said Geya with great joy upon hearing this, quickly bowing to Xiao Zhan and saying, "Chief Xiao, the Grand Master also knows that today's request is a bit presumptuous, so he specially asked me to bring a gift to express his apologies."
With that, Geya carefully removed a ring from his finger, and a small ancient jade box suddenly appeared in his hand. He carefully opened the jade box, and a unique fragrance immediately filled the air, invigorating everyone present.
The three elders curiously peered into the jade box and caught a glimpse of the item inside, exclaiming in shock, "Scatter Qi? It's the medicine that can condense the Qi of Fight into the Qi of Fight Rotation, ensuring a hundred percent successful promotion to a fighter!"
In the hall, upon hearing the three elders' exclamation, the young men and women of the Xiao family widened their eyes, eagerly staring at the jade box in Geya's hand.
Sitting next to her father, Xiao Mei licked her lips slightly and stared at the jade box without blinking.
"Hehe, this elixir was personally refined by the esteemed elder Kogawa of our sect. I'm sure you've all heard of his great reputation, right?" Seeing the shocked expressions of the three elders, Geya couldn't help but feel pleased, smiling as she spoke.
"Is this elixir really personally refined by the Elixir King Kogawa?" Upon hearing this, the three elders were even more astonished.
Looking at the clenched fists of Xiao Yan beside her, Gu Yunzhi thought it was time. Her gaze was sharp, and when Elder Geya's words were still lingering in the hall, she had already stood up and interrupted him.
"I, Gu Yunzhi, come from the Dragon Tiger Advanced Mercenary Group in Warcraft Mountains. This time, I am here regarding the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Yunlan Sect." Her voice was firm, carrying an unquestionable dignity.
As Gu Yunzhi slowly approached Xiao Zhan, she glared fiercely at Nalan Yanran beside him. She remembered that in Yunyun's memories, she had never been taught to behave like this.
That glance seemed to contain a kind of judgment and condemnation, making Nalan Yanran unconsciously feel afraid. Suddenly, she felt that the gaze was very familiar, as if it was her master Yu Yun glaring at her.
When everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Yunzhi, she ignored the surrounding gazes and just looked coldly at Xiao Zhan: "If Yunlan Sect wants to call off the engagement, that's fine. Our Dragon Tiger Advanced Mercenary Group would like to propose marriage to The Xiao Family."
She then clapped her hands, signaling the people outside to bring in the betrothal gifts. About five people came in, each carrying a tray with two jade boxes, different from what Elder Geya was holding.
The items in the jade boxes were opened one by one, all of them were fourth-grade "scatter qi" pills, totaling ten pills.
Suddenly, the one in Elder Geya's hand seemed inadequate and insignificant.
"Not only that, she also provided an additional Azure Essence Pill," Gu Yunzhi said. "Although it may be a bit early for Xiao Yan, this is the best pill for a fighter to advance to a Dou Master."
After speaking, he took out an exquisite wooden box containing a blue-green pill with distinct markings, clearly indicating its effectiveness as an Azure Essence Pill. The three elders probably had never seen such a powerful pill in their lives, only having read about them in ancient legends, and each of them showed a greedy look in their eyes.
Elder Geya suddenly looked extremely ugly, and this is something that Yunlan Sect can easily show off.
Unfortunately, he currently only has three scatter qi in his hands. First, it's not necessary to spend too much effort. For small families like The Xiao Family, they would be extremely happy to see one. Second, they came this time to call off the engagement, not to propose. Therefore, although Yunlan Sect is a big family, it is also overprepared.
But being so pressured by others also makes Yunlan Sect lose face a bit.
In the face of this sudden change, Xiao Zhan's expression became very complicated.
The matter of the divorce was originally just between their family and the Yunlan Sect, but now it has been intervened by the Dragon Tiger Advanced Mercenary Group, which has made him feel somewhat troubled.
Xiao Zhan tightly held the teacup in his hand, the edge of the cup cutting into his palm, bringing a sharp pain. Certain decisions must be made, otherwise, not only would the honor of the sect chief be compromised, but the entire The Xiao Family would also lose face as a result.
After much consideration, Xiao Zhan realized that Yunlan Sect had come to call off the engagement, while the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group had come to propose marriage, but neither was something he could decide. So he slowly stood up, facing Gu Yunzhi and Yunlan Sect, and said in a cold and firm tone, "In that case, let Xiao Yan make the decision."
