After dismissing the guests in front of him, Nalan Jie couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Where is Yan Ran?"
Nalan Su swept around, then raised his hand and pointed.
Nalan Jie followed Nalan Su's hand and saw two young people sitting there in the corner where no one else noticed. They didn't know what they were talking about.
Nalan Jie Seeing these two young people sitting together, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly. It is naturally good for young people to cultivate more feelings.
It's just a pity...
It's all over.
As for the young people, there is no need to disturb them.
Looking away from the two people in the corner, Nalan Jie once again immersed himself in the joyful banquet atmosphere.
"So, what you were talking about back then was actually...?"
In a quiet corner, Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran in front of him and exhaled a filthy breath. For the first time, he was at a loss as to how to face this woman.
After all, a lot of what he is today can be regarded as starting from Nalan Yanran in a sense. It is impossible for him to have any normal mentality towards Nalan Yanran.
Whether it's disgust or resentment.
It's just that these are gradually letting go as Xiao Yan grows up. Nalan Yanran is destined not to be Xiao Yan's lifelong goal, but more like a rest in the youthful period.
Only by crossing her realm can he completely transcend the silence he once had.
But no matter what, in Xiao Yan's mind, Nalan Yanran, which contains this meaning, will be a more special existence than those ordinary women.
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran, waiting for her answer quietly. Ever since he realized that Miss Qing Ran might be Nalan Yanran, the previous conversation between Xiao Yan and Qing Ran had been put into question.
"——Hmm."
Nalan Yanran did not deny it. She slowly put down the wine glass in her hand and said, "Needless to say, I even met her because of you."
"Because of me?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't quite understand what Nalan Yanran meant. It was just that Nalan Yanran seemed unwilling to say more on this topic, so he couldn't continue to ask further.
Nalan Yanran was naturally angry because the reason she met Yao Wan was to be Xiao Yan's whetstone. Even though her self-cultivation in the past two years had allowed her to let go of many obsessions, it didn't mean that she had been willing to work like this for three years just to be with Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement.
She has understood that Xiao Yan will not be the end of her life. No matter whether she wins or loses, wins or loses, she will not die after fighting Three-Year Agreement.
Life is very long, and these three years have been fulfilling enough for Nalan Yanran and are not wasted.
As for Xiao Yan, after fighting Three-Year Agreement, I don't think I have anything to do with her anymore. Let's do whatever it takes to love her.
"Anyway, it's all over now - it's best if you take what Qing Ran said to you seriously. You can just think of it as something I used to tease you."
Nalan Yanran looked at the bright starry sky above his head and said.
"..."
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran's profile and asked, "What about the conversation between you and my father?"
"You know? - But it doesn't seem to be a surprise if you know. After all, you are father and son."
Nalan Yanran said subconsciously, "Well, seriously, I am truly sorry for my behavior three years ago. If I could go back in time, I would probably choose to discuss it with you and your son in private."
"I know you may not be willing to accept it, so naturally this is just talk. The grudge between us will probably have to be resolved on Three-Year Agreement."
"How do you know I can't accept it?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but say, to which Yao Wan just chuckled and shook his head.
"Because I myself have never completely let go of this Knot in one's heart, and I don't have the habit of being generous to others."
"——So, it doesn't matter even if you hate me, just come here with your hatred for me."
Nalan Yanran was very open-minded when he said this. After saying this, he took a sip of the somewhat strong wine.
The alcohol gave the beauty in front of her a blush on her pretty face in the night. Xiao Yan looked at the touching scene and couldn't help but drink up the wine in the glass in his hand.
"Perhaps you have really changed a lot in the past three years - but there is one thing, you are wrong about one thing."
Xiao Yan said.
Nalan Yanran blushed slightly, turned her head, her graceful eyebrows like the sword in her hand wrinkled slightly, she couldn't help but said, "Wrong? Then you can tell me, where did I go wrong?"
"I have never had any hatred for you from beginning to end."
Xiao Yan's words made Nalan Yanran's eyes widen immediately. She couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan, especially the eyes under his mask.
Of course she didn't believe it - a person who had been hurt like this would say that he didn't actually hate her? How is this possible?
Nalan Yanran looked into Xiao Yan's eyes, trying to see the twinkle in his eyes, the way the lie was revealed in his eyes.
But no.
Nalan Yanran did not see a look that avoided him in Xiao Yan's eyes, nor did he see anything that could be called hate.
She couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Why?"
Nalan Yanran naturally asked this question.
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe you didn't hurt me in the first place. After all, when you wanted to break off the engagement, you didn't get it completely, right?"
Xiao Yan is naturally referring to the fact that three years ago among the Xiao Clan and Guest Hall, Nalan Yanran wanted to forcefully break off the engagement in front of everyone, but in the end Yao Wan intervened, taught her a lesson and left in despair.
Although breaking off the engagement is indeed called breaking off the engagement, it is indeed not a particularly glorious thing.
"Until not long ago, I was just disgusted with you at most, and I couldn't say I was resentful at all."
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders openly and said.
And now Nalan Yanran can only accept this fact, which seems a bit outrageous at first glance.
"Well, I don't know whether this is the shamelessness you said at the beginning, or whether you are broad-minded."
"A broad-minded person? Needless to say, I'm a very vindictive person."
Xiao Yan shook his head. To be honest, he didn't really want to talk too much with Nalan Yanran.
It's not that she's disgusted to this point, but no matter what, the position between the two will not change.
Nalan Yanran also maintained such a tacit understanding with Xiao Yan. After chatting for a while, the two began to drink.
No matter who the two of them were, they were not the kind of people who would drink alcohol on a daily basis. They just relied on their Dou Ling strong bodies and Dou Qi's ability to just pour alcohol into their mouths.
It wasn't until the end that the drunken two parted ways.
After leaving Nalan Family, Xiao Yan dispelled the alcohol smell in his body's blood with just a flick of his finger.
There are still Alchemist Convention games to complete in the next few days, so there is not much time left for Xiao Yan. He returned to his residence as soon as possible. It was already late at night, but no one was sleeping.
In the small courtyard, Yao Wan, who had basically not spent much time with each other during this period, was sitting on the edge of the stone table. He just raised his arm to support his chin and waited boredly.
Xiao Yan was slightly startled. He couldn't ignore her so openly, so he had to say, "It's so late, Wan Guniang, aren't you still sleeping?"
"Didn't you just come back? Why should I sleep?"
Yao Wan held his arms and suddenly asked, "By the way, how are you getting along with Nalan Yanran?"
"That's it... that's it."
Xiao Yan recalled the atmosphere between the two of them that could be described as non-conversational, and said.
It just happened that Yao Wan mentioned this topic, and Nalan Yanran happened to have the opportunity to ask her.
"By the way, Wan Guniang, about you and Nalan Yanran..."
"Don't you know everything you should know? Then why do you turn around and ask me?"
Yao Wan waved his hand.
"No - I mean, the relationship between you and Nalan Yanran."
"Oh, this..."
Yao Wan's eyes flickered slightly and said, "Nalan That little girl is quite pitiful, so I just helped her out, just on a whim... are you not happy?"
"Not really... I'm not a child anymore. I can still lose my temper if I'm unhappy..."
Xiao Yan shook his head, but even so, if he really didn't have any emotions or ripples in his heart, he was just deceiving himself.
Of course he was not very happy. This seemed to prove that he was not the only one special to Wan Guniang.
It's just that Xiao Yan is not the kind of child who has to behave and wallow if he loses the love of adults, so even though he is inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, he still controls his emotions.
"Okay, I know what I did in this matter was somewhat unreasonable."
Yao Wan sighed lightly. In fact, even if Xiao Yan was angry with her because of this matter, Yao Wan felt that it was understandable. Now that Xiao Yan is so open-minded, she is not used to it.
"So, how about I give you some compensation?"
Yao Wan thought about it and couldn't help but say.
When Xiao Yan heard Yao Wan say these two words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
His rationality reminded him that he no longer lacked anything, whether it was skills, secret techniques, weapons, Dou Technique, or elixirs, he lacked nothing.
And his sensibility was activated and touched by Yao Wan's fluttering words.
"Compensation? Anything?"
"Hmm... Of course, it's not something that goes too far."
Yao Wan naturally realized what Xiao Yan was thinking, but couldn't help but regretted speaking this way.
"Hurry up, or it will expire and become invalid."
