Three Year Agreement, Do Not Bully the Poor Youth!

The Xiao Family hall fell silent in an instant.

Astonished gazes turned toward Hun Cang one after another!

With Hun Cang deliberately holding back, he had only released pressure against the young man from the Misty Cloud Sect.

Otherwise, no one in the hall would have been able to remain seated properly.

"Sir, please stop. Mo Li did not mean to offend you." Sweat beaded on Ge Ye's forehead, but he had no time to wipe it away.

Hun Cang snorted coldly, retracting his Dou Qi wings. "If this hadn't been my Second Brother's home, and I hadn't wanted to dirty the floor, he'd already be dead."

Hearing Hun Cang's words, Xiao Yan puffed out his chest, his face full of pride.

Listen to that, everyone! Listen to that!

Just look how much Big Brother cared about me!

Some of the younger members of the Xiao Family watched Xiao Yan's smug expression, the jealousy in their eyes nearly solidifying and spilling from their sockets.

Their hearts were filled with bitterness.

Damn it, why hadn't something this good happened to me?

Ge Ye helped the young man up and made him apologize.

"I'm sorry." Having confirmed Hun Cang's strength, the young man no longer dared act so recklessly.

After all, if he truly angered a Dou Huang and got killed, the sect would not react much.

Everyone knew perfectly well which was more important: a Dou Zhe or a Dou Huang.

Hun Cang did not look at him again. Instead, he turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Second Brother, if anyone else has bullied you, tell Big Brother today. Big Brother will teach them a lesson for you."

Sob... acknowledging this Big Brother was so worth it... Xiao Yan was so moved that he nearly cried.

Seeing Xiao Yan's gaze sweep toward them, the expressions of the three elders collapsed, and they nearly cried as well.

Please spare us!

Kneeling before so many juniors of the Xiao Family and apologizing to Xiao Yan would be far too humiliating.

Xiao Yan had only wanted to scare them. After glancing at them, he withdrew his gaze.

He smiled. "Big Brother, I'm not as miserable as you think. At the very least, I'm still the Young Patriarch of the Xiao Family."

At that moment, Xiao Zhan shot his son a meaningful look and said, "Yan'er, your Big Brother has come to visit. Take him around and show him the place."

Today's main matter was still dealing with the marriage between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.

It was a family disgrace!

Naturally, they did not want too many outsiders to know about it.

Xiao Yan understood immediately. Just as he was about to speak, Hun Cang said, "Second Brother, don't you still have something to settle? I've got nothing to do. I can wait."

As expected of a fellow countryman... he hadn't lost the habit of watching the excitement at all.

After grumbling inwardly, Xiao Yan spread his hands under his father's gaze.

Sometimes, when someone was merely being polite, you could not take it seriously.

Otherwise, it would make you seem like you were pushing your luck, and that would be the end of it.

Hun Cang was a genuine Dou Huang. Xiao Yan did not dare make excessive demands of him. If he truly angered him, the brotherhood they had only just formed...

It might end up like a little boat of friendship...

"Miss Nalan, let's continue our previous discussion." Xiao Yan adjusted his collar, walked before Nalan Yanran, and looked down at the girl seated in her chair.

Nalan Yanran glanced at the indifferent Hun Cang, ignored Ge Ye's repeated tugs at her clothes, and said firmly, "Xiao Yan, I am determined to break off this engagement today! No matter who stands behind you, no one can stop me!"

The moment she finished speaking.

Ge Ye nervously looked toward Hun Cang.

Hun Cang adjusted his sitting posture, showing no intention of speaking.

What a joke. He had no desire to alter the plot's development.

Following the original plot would make it easier to control Xiao Yan's future growth path.

That way, his own actions would become much more convenient. He only needed to seize Xiao Yan's resources ahead of time, then give them to him, and he would receive system rewards.

Xiao Yan sneered. "I already said that I'm not interested in you either. It's not that our engagement cannot be dissolved, but wait two years. Then I will personally go to the Nalan Family and explain everything to the old master."

"Impossible." Nalan Yanran immediately refused.

Xiao Yan's smile vanished. He said resentfully, "Nalan Yanran, what exactly do you mean? Must you make my Xiao Family lose all face in Wutan City?"

A trace of grievance flashed across Nalan Yanran's face, but she retorted without backing down, "Only your Xiao Family has dignity? Does my dignity not count as dignity?"

Xiao Yan froze. "What do you mean?"

"I, Nalan Yanran, am known by everyone in the Jia Ma Empire as the future Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.

If others found out that I actually had an engagement, and that my fiancé was someone who had cultivated for fifteen years yet was only at the Third Stage of Dou Qi,

what would they think of me? How would they view me? Would they secretly mock me?"

Nalan Yanran shouted.

If you, Xiao Yan, were even remotely normal, I would not ask you to be exceptionally powerful. At the very least, don't become someone others laugh at whenever your name is mentioned.

Then I would not have come to raise this matter now!

Because to become the future sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, becoming the sect master's direct disciple was only one aspect. Personal reputation was equally important.

Nalan Yanran did not want to become sect master in the future, only for people to begin every mention of her with the fact that she had once had a useless fiancé at the Third Stage of Dou Qi.

Thud, thud, thud!

Xiao Yan staggered back several steps as if struck by lightning.

He stared at Nalan Yanran, finding it difficult to accept!

Am I really that bad?

I became a Dou Zhe at eleven! I was the fastest person in the Xiao Family to become a Dou Zhe in a hundred years!

If it hadn't been for that damned ring... how could I have fallen to this state?!

Suddenly, his shoulder sank. Xiao Yan turned his head and saw a hand resting on it. Instinctively, he said, "Big Brother..."

Hun Cang patted him twice, signaling for Xiao Yan not to speak yet.

"You are Nalan Yanran? Yun Yun's disciple?" Hun Cang asked.

Seeing Hun Cang step forward, Nalan Yanran panicked inwardly, though she did not show it. She nodded. "Yes. What advice does Lord Dou Huang have?

If you wish to speak about the engagement, Yanran still asks that you give up, unless I die...

Otherwise, no one can change my mind today!"

Hun Cang shook his head with a light smile. "I have no interest in using power to oppress others."

"Then what does Lord Dou Huang wish to say?" Nalan Yanran asked.

Hun Cang ignored her and looked at Xiao Yan instead. "Second Brother, what do you think? Don't be afraid. Big Brother has your back. Even if you want to make her yours today, Big Brother guarantees there won't be a problem.

As for Yun Yun, don't worry about her. Big Brother will handle it."

Big Brother really was direct... Xiao Yan felt somewhat embarrassed. Looking at Nalan Yanran's pale face and the fear in her eyes, he shook his head.

"Big Brother, I'm just unwilling to accept this. I became a Dou Zhe at eleven. If it hadn't been for that... sigh, if that hadn't happened, how could I have fallen to the point of being humiliated like this today?"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists.

Hun Cang thought for a moment. "Then I have an idea. What do you think of this?"

"Please speak." Nalan Yanran looked at Hun Cang with some fear, seemingly frightened by his earlier remark about making her his.

Hun Cang said, "How about setting a Three Year Agreement? Three years from now, my Second Brother will go to the Misty Cloud Sect to challenge you. Win or lose, this engagement will be considered over. What do you think?"

"Just him?" Nalan Yanran gave Xiao Yan a disdainful glance.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists even tighter.

Hun Cang smiled faintly. "Nalan Yanran, today I will give you one piece of advice. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—Do Not Bully the Poor Youth! Do not underestimate my Second Brother."
