Breaking Off the Engagement

Since losing his talent, Xiao Yan has tried to avoid his clansmen to avoid unnecessary ridicule.

The Xiao Family didn't publicize the Misty Cloud Sect's visit extensively, but many family members knew about it. Xiao Zhan should have informed Xiao Yan, but he deliberately kept it a secret.

This has left Xiao Yan completely bewildered.

However, seeing that all the important family figures were present, including Xiao Ming, he knew that the guests his father had mentioned yesterday must be very distinguished. Therefore, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects. "Father, the three elders, Supreme Elder."

"Hehe, Yan'er, you're here. Please sit down." Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Xiao Zhan smiled, nodded, and waved.

Xiao Yan's shout immediately drew everyone's attention to him.

Even Yun Yun, who was deep in thought, turned her gaze to Xiao Yan. "This is Xiao Yan? Just as rumored, his talent has disappeared, and he has remained at the Dou Qi Stage Three."

It's important to understand that Yun Yun at this moment is not the Dou Emperor whose Dou Qi was sealed in the Original Work Dou Qi. An inexplicable aura of power still exists, which just suppressed Xiao Zhan and the other members of the Xiao Family, making them afraid to say a word to her.

Although Xiao Yan had endured more than two years of ridicule from his family, which had significantly tempered his character, he still couldn't withstand Yun Yun's gaze. To avoid embarrassment, he followed his father's instructions and scanned the hall, only to be surprised to find that there was no place for him.

This was quite awkward. Faced with this situation, Xiao Yan could only shake his head inwardly and give a self-deprecating smile.

"Sigh, it seems my status in this family is really getting lower and lower. They used to be so kind, but now they're embarrassing me in front of the guests! Those three Undying..."

Looking at Xiao Yan, who stood motionless, the young people of the surrounding clan couldn't help but sneer, clearly enjoying seeing him make a fool of himself.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan, who was above, also noticed Xiao Yan's embarrassment. A flash of anger crossed his face, and he frowned at the old man beside him, saying, "Great Elder, you..."

"Ahem, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about the Third Young Master. Hehe, I'll have someone prepare something right away!"

The Great Elder, who was being stared at by Xiao Zhan, smiled faintly and patted his forehead in self-reproach, but the mockery in his eyes was not concealed.

Seeing Xiao Yan's current predicament, Xiao Ming's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that even with him here, these elders would still embarrass Xiao Yan on such an important occasion. Was Xiao Yan really that hated before?

Sitting next to Xiao Ming, Xiao Shan also showed a hint of surprise. Although he knew that Xiao Yan was not well-liked after being home for so long, the extent to which he was disliked was really beyond his expectations.

Seemingly noticing the surprise in Xiao Ming and Xiao Shan's eyes, the Great Elder decided not to tease Xiao Yan any further. Chairs were quickly brought out, as if it had been prepared beforehand and was ready to be placed at any time. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

Although they could tell that Xiao Yan seemed to be disliked in the Xiao Family, Yun Yun and the others didn't say anything.

After Xiao Yan sat down at the end, Yun Yun, the person in charge of this trip, finally spoke.

"Clan Leader Xiao, Yan Ran and I have come here with a request."

"You have a favor to ask?"

Hearing Yun Yun say this, Xiao Zhan suddenly had a bad feeling. The only person in the Xiao Family who could help the powerful Misty Cloud Sect Master, who was famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, was Xiao Ming, Grade Six Alchemist.

He had originally thought that the Misty Cloud Sect Master's visit was mainly to see Xiao Ming was right beside him, so he could just say what he wanted. But now she was telling him that she had a favor to ask of him, which seemed rather strange.

What ability could he possibly have to help a Dou Huang Expert?

Remembering Yun Yun's mention of Na Lan Yan Ran, Xiao Zhan had a bad feeling. Thinking of a certain possibility, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and his large hands trembled slightly. Fortunately, his sleeves concealed it, so it went unnoticed. Forcibly suppressing his anger, he said in a trembling voice, "Sect Master Yun Yun, please speak your mind. If it is within our power, the Xiao Family should not refuse."

"Clan Leader Xiao, the Misty Cloud Sect has always had strict rules. Every successor to the Sect Master leader must not have any romantic entanglements before officially becoming the sect Sect Master. Yan Ran has great talent, and I intend to make her the next Sect Master. However, before that, I asked Yan Ran and learned that she is engaged to the Xiao Family. Therefore, I would like to ask Clan Leader Xiao to dissolve this engagement. The Misty Cloud Sect will provide sufficient compensation."

"Crack!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand instantly turned into a cloud of powder.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat quiet, and everyone present was taken aback by Yun Yun's words.

The three elders, who were already at odds with Xiao Zhan, now looked at him with even more mockery and ridicule.

"Heh heh, having your engagement forcibly dissolved at your doorstep, let's see what kind of prestige you, the Clan Leader, will have left to manage the clan!"

Some of the younger generation were unaware of Xiao Yan's engagement to Na Lan Yan Ran. However, after inquiring with their parents, their expressions immediately became quite interesting, and they cast mocking glances at Xiao Yan in the corner...

"Ah, so the annulment of the engagement has come after all." Because he had expected this scene, Xiao Ming's expression didn't change much. Zi Yan beside him seemed to be quite interested in this matter, blinking her big eyes and watching with great interest.

Xiao Shan, sitting next to him, was completely shocked. He had the same thought as Xiao Zhan: Yun Yun had come to see Xiao Ming, but it turned out she had come to annul the engagement!

"Clan Leader Xiao, I know this request is somewhat unreasonable, so I brought gifts as an apology."

Yun Yun's voice remained calm as she gently raised her jade hand, placing several jade boxes of different colors on the table.

"I brought two Grade Four Medicinal Pills with me on this trip, one being Spirit Raising Pill and the other a Qi Gathering Powder; two Grade Five Medicinal Pills, both being Mysterious Spirit Pill; and a Profound Tier High Grade Wind Attribute Profound Cultivation Method. These are all gifts to apologize for the annulment of the engagement."

As Yun Yun spoke, the Misty Cloud Sect steward sitting next to her carefully opened the box. Instantly, several exotic fragrances filled the hall, refreshing everyone who smelled them.

Upon hearing Yun Yun's conditions, the members of the Xiao Family in the hall couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.

After the box was opened and the contents were indeed as Yun Yun had described, his mouth became even drier.

Those two Grade Four Medicinal Pills are one thing, although the Spirit Raising Pill can increase the chance of Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling, Qi Gathering Powder can guarantee that someone with Dou Qi Power at the ninth level will advance to Dou Zhe, so they seem very precious.

Over the years, Xiao Ming has brought back far more than two Grade Four Medicinal Pills, and even some precious pills that directly enhance his strength.

Therefore, they weren't so eager for Grade Four Medicinal Pill.

However, although Xiao Ming sent back many Grade Four Medicinal Pills, Xiao Ming didn't send back many Grade Five Medicinal Pills.

Grade Five Medicinal Pill are already extremely precious, and the Mysterious Spirit Pill that Yun Yun gave was the kind of pill that could directly allow Dou Ling to break through to the next level.

Such pills, which can directly elevate one's cultivation level, are generally far more precious than other pills of the same level.

Yun Yun gave them two of these precious pills at once, so it's no wonder they were a bit flustered.
