Nalan Yanran's Broken Engagement—Was She Wrong? [If You Like This Book, Please Add It to Your Favorites!]

The E Tier Clone Technique was only meant to confuse people; it had no offensive power at all.

Since the system was E Tier, that meant his cultivation level could only reach the Dou Zhe level. After that, he would need to raise the system's tier.

Upgrading the system required energy rather than Points. In that case, he might as well use all 300 Points to exchange for ninjutsu.

Transformation Jutsu!

For the last one, he would choose the Substitution Technique.

No, these transformation and clone techniques were completely useless. He should pick some offensive skills too.

Then he would go with taijutsu and choose the Leg Strike Technique.

"Ding! Would the host like to spend 100 Points to exchange for the taijutsu Leg Strike Technique?"

Yes!"

"Ding! The Eight Inner Gates Technique has been successfully exchanged!"

Eight Inner Gates?

Nalan Chaoge froze.

Hadn't he exchanged for the Leg Strike Technique? How had it turned into the Eight Inner Gates Technique?

Opening all Eight Inner Gates could grant ultimate taijutsu power dozens of times greater than Shadowless.

No matter what, that should have been an SS-tier ninjutsu.

"Ding! System disorder detected. An exchange program error has occurred!"

"Then what do we do?" Nalan Chaoge asked worriedly. His little heart was still pounding wildly. If they took it back, this joke would be far too cruel.

"Ding! I don't know either. Host, just make do with it!"

Pfft!

He had exchanged for SS-tier ninjutsu with only a hundred Points. Worth it!

As usual, the rising sun shone over the ancient, majestic Marshal's Mansion.

At the Training Ground, the Nalan Family disciples began their training for the day.

A delicate little girl with fine features and pretty brows wore a neat pale-green dress, her sleeves rolled up. She ran anxiously through the corridor while shouting, "Old Master, Old Master, Young Master is awake!"

"Old Master..."

At the end of the corridor was Nalan Jie's study. At that moment, Nalan Jie was holding a brush and calmly writing something.

Hearing the voice outside, Nalan Jie could not help frowning.

Bang!

The door flew open, and the little maid stumbled inside.

"Old Master..."

"How many times have I told you? Don't panic when something happens. Panicking is useless. What could possibly be so serious that you're this flustered?"

Nalan Jie remained composed, clearly displeased by the little maid's frantic behavior.

"Old Master... Of course I have to panic! It's a huge matter! Young Master, Young Master has woken up!"

"What..."

Nalan Jie froze. Then the girl felt a gust of wind before her eyes, and Nalan Jie had already vanished from the room.

Didn't he say not to panic? Why did he run even faster than me when he heard Young Master had awakened?

The little maid muttered a few words before hurriedly running out as well.

However, as the little girl passed through the Training Ground, she was stopped by a group of Nalan Family disciples.

"Guo'er, what did you just say? Young Master is awake?"

"Little Guo'er, hurry and tell your big brother—how did Young Master wake up?"

"Can Young Master cultivate now?"

"Guo'er..."

The little girl's name was Guo'er, and she was Nalan Chaoge's personal maid. In ancient times, this sort of maid was commonly called a bed-warming maid!

To put it plainly, ahem, she was that kind of... hehehe, you know what I mean!

These disciples were all children of servants working for the Nalan Family. They received the Nalan Family's support and underwent unified training by the Nalan Family. In the future, they would become the Nalan Family's strength.

They would also become Nalan Chaoge's strength.

This differed from families like the Xiao Family. Every one of them would revolve around Nalan Chaoge.

They would demonstrate their loyalty in hopes of gaining the Nalan Family's recognition and being employed by the Nalan Family in the future.

"This morning, I was just about to help Young Master Chaoge wipe down his body, and then I was in his..."

"Wipe down his body? How exactly did you wipe it?"

"Yeah, did you two do that?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Guo'er's face flushed red, but her shy expression did not deny it.

"What are you all doing? Hurry up and train! Now that Young Master has awakened, you must show absolute loyalty to the Nalan Family!"

An old man dressed in a plain blue robe appeared at the Training Ground, his entire bearing extraordinary.

The moment they saw the old man, the young disciples immediately fell silent. They turned around and began cultivating in a pretentious manner.

Yet when the old man saw Guo'er's bashful face, his gaze softened slightly. Then he turned and headed toward Nalan Chaoge's residence.

Guo'er was stunned for a moment before hurriedly following him.

Bang!

The door was violently kicked open.

"Xiao Ge, how are you feeling?"

An energetic old man with a head of silver hair rushed inside like a gust of wind.

Though he was asking a question, his hand had already impatiently reached for Nalan Chaoge's wrist!

"Xiao Ge, you can cultivate now! Hahaha..."

Nalan Jie threw back his head and laughed.

Heaven had not let down those with determination. The Fiery Poison Seal Python he had sought for this boy despite being afflicted with the Poison Mark had not been in vain.

Nalan Jie heavily patted Nalan Chaoge's shoulder.

On the Dou Qi Continent, for a man unable to cultivate, it was even crueler than being crippled.

"Mm!" Seeing Nalan Jie's excitement, Nalan Chaoge also began to feel happy.

"Work hard. Grandfather doesn't expect you to catch up to your sister, but Grandfather hopes that when I am no longer around, you can shoulder the Nalan Family. Your sister is betrothed to Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family. I heard that boy can no longer cultivate dou qi. What a pity!"

"The revival of the Nalan Family rests on your shoulders. Do you understand?"

When Nalan Jie took the initiative to mention Nalan Yanran's engagement to Xiao Yan, Nalan Chaoge's thoughts stirred.

"Grandfather, can I ask you a question?"

"Hm? Ask away!" Nalan Jie was clearly in high spirits.

"I want to know, since my sister and Xiao Yan were betrothed before they were born, has Xiao Yan ever come to visit?"

Nalan Jie froze, caught off guard by Nalan Chaoge's question.

But he still solemnly shook his head.

"No! However, Xiao Lin and I were friends who had faced life and death together. While Xiao Lin was still alive, our two families visited each other often!"

"Only, Xiao Lin unfortunately died during a battle with an enemy, and from then on, our families gradually grew distant. But I, Nalan Jie, keep my word. As for your sister's marriage, I know Yanran is somewhat unwilling, but no matter how unwilling she is, she must marry him!"

There was not the slightest room for negotiation in Nalan Jie's tone.

Just as expected!

Nalan Chaoge gave a bitter laugh in his heart.

"After Grandfather Xiao Lin died, did Uncle Xiao Zhan ever come?"

"No!"

"Did anyone else from the Xiao Family ever come?"

"No!"

"Does our Nalan Family mean nothing in the Xiao Family's eyes? Is my sister, Nalan Yanran, so unwanted? Whether Xiao Yan is a genius or a good-for-nothing, he has never once met his own fiancée and has never paid respects to his future father-in-law. Is this the Xiao Family's sense of propriety?"

Nalan Chaoge spoke forcefully, leaving Nalan Jie speechless.
