Just Not Perfect

Xiao Han turned a deaf ear to his grandfather's words. Looking at Xiao Yan, he continued, "The Clan Head is right. A wife like that is naturally unacceptable. Likewise, Miss Nalan Yanran, if your future husband were inherently promiscuous, would you be willing to accept that?"

Nalan Yanran was slightly stunned. She seemed to recall something before looking at Xiao Xun'er. She silently cursed herself for being so foolish, for not even mentioning the information she had obtained. "Naturally not!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan seemed to have guessed what Xiao Han wanted to say. He looked at Xiao Han with some nervousness.

Sure enough, Xiao Han asked, "Xiao Yan, I want to ask you this. You and Xiao Xun'er are always together. What exactly is the relationship between the two of you?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yan was slightly stunned.

It was true that he liked Xiao Xun'er. Everyone in the clan could see that Xiao Xun'er had feelings for Xiao Yan. Moreover, there was no reason for Xiao Yan not to like a beautiful young girl like Xiao Xun'er.

But under the current circumstances, Xiao Yan could not answer.

If he said that he liked Xiao Xun'er and was devoted to her, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face? It would give Nalan Yanran an excuse to break off the engagement.

Faced with this question, Xiao Yan wisely chose silence.

However, Xiao Han clearly had no intention of letting Xiao Yan off and urged, "Answer me!"

In a corner nearby, Xiao Xun'er was also staring at Xiao Yan.

Feeling Xiao Xun'er's gaze, as well as his father Xiao Zhan's gaze, Xiao Yan closed his eyes. "Naturally, we are brother and sister."

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with disappointment in her eyes.

Feeling Xiao Xun'er's gaze, Xiao Yan could only decide to explain it to her another day when he had the chance.

"Very good!"

Xiao Han was clearly pleased with this outcome. To attack someone, first attack their heart. In seizing the female lead, he had taken his first step.

"Are you done talking?" Xiao Yan was beginning to lose patience. He was extremely annoyed with Xiao Han.

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, wondering when exactly he had offended Xiao Han. Today, Xiao Han had targeted him at every turn.

How could Xiao Yan know that Xiao Han had bound the Invincible Destroyer King--Overthrowing System? Opposing Xiao Yan was Xiao Han's mission.

"Don't rush." Seeing that Xiao Yan had already become restless, Xiao Han secretly rejoiced and asked again, "Xiao Yan, I heard that when you were twelve, you sneaked into the pool at the Back Mountain and touched Xiao Yu's long legs. The entire Wutan City knows about it. Do you admit it?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue inwardly.

He had indeed sneaked into the pool when he was twelve and touched Xiao Yu's thigh. But that had been something the previous Xiao Yan had done. It had absolutely nothing to do with him, a transmigrator.

"Xiao Yan, do you admit it?" Xiao Han pressed.

As Xiao Han brought up the old matter, Xiao Xun'er was slightly stunned. She had nearly forgotten that Xiao Yan was actually a lecherous rogue. (Those with a special attachment to Xiao Yan, please don't flame me. Thank you! Dandan is stating facts! If you disagree, go read the beginning of Battle Through the Heavens and see what he did to Xiao Yu.)

Still, recalling that childhood incident, Xiao Xun'er did not pay it much mind.

When she was young, someone had entered her room and used a useless method of nourishing her meridians to improve her aptitude. From that time onward, her heart had already been occupied by someone.

"I admit it," Xiao Yan answered. "But I was young then. I didn't know any better!"

"Xiao Yan, I never expected you to be a lecherous rogue as well. I can accept that you are promiscuous, but I cannot accept my future husband being a lecherous rogue. Clan Head Xiao, I, Nalan Yanran, am breaking off this engagement today!" Nalan Yanran's expression changed.

A young man was not truly young if he was not romantic. But being romantic was not the same as being a lecherous rogue.

As a proud daughter of heaven, Nalan Yanran could not accept such a thing.

Xiao Yan glared at Xiao Han, wanting nothing more than to chop him to death with a single blade. He said coldly, "I've said it before. This engagement was arranged by my grandfather and Old Master Nalan. Without their permission, no one can break it off."

"Nalan Yanran!"

Xiao Yan's fury surged as he shouted sharply, "You came all this way to our Xiao Clan today just to break off the engagement. And you still dare talk about my dignity. Fine, since you want to break off the engagement, then I'll break it off. But..."

Ge Ye, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. His gaze fell on Xiao Han.

The objective had been achieved. But it was not perfect. In the future, people would still speak behind the backs of the Misty Cloud Sect and Nalan Yanran!

Xiao Han had said that he would dissolve this engagement perfectly.

Seeing that Xiao Han was not flustered, Ge Ye wanted to see what Xiao Han still intended to do.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something, how could Xiao Han not know what it was? He hurriedly called out, "Wait!"

Xiao Yan glared angrily at Xiao Han. He truly could not figure out what Xiao Han was planning to do again.

Xiao Han had gone to such painstaking lengths. Wasn't it all to help Nalan Yanran break off the engagement?

Xiao Yan impatiently roared, "What the fuck do you want now?"

At this point, Xiao Yan was already on the verge of exploding.

Xiao Han smiled faintly. Instead of looking at Xiao Yan, he walked over to Nalan Yanran. "Speaking of this engagement, may I take a look at the marriage contract Miss Nalan has with her?"

"Of course!" Although Nalan Yanran was exceptionally talented, even she could not guess why Xiao Han still wanted the marriage contract when she had clearly already achieved her goal.

Though curious, Nalan Yanran still handed the marriage contract she had brought to Xiao Han.

Written clearly in black and white on the contract was the matter of Nalan Yanran of the Nalan Family and Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan of Wutan City entering into a marriage alliance.

As Xiao Han examined the marriage contract, his eyes filled with astonishment. He exclaimed, "Huh, how could it be like this?"

Like what?

Nearly everyone's attention was drawn by Xiao Han's expression.

Holding the marriage contract, Xiao Han said to Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, since matters have come to this, please let me see the marriage contract on your person as well."

"Uh..."

Xiao Yan instinctively became wary of Xiao Han. He truly could not understand what medicine Xiao Han was selling in his gourd.

Xiao Yan looked toward his father, Xiao Zhan, who sat in the seat of honor. Seeing Xiao Zhan nod, he took out the marriage contract on his person and warned, "Xiao Han, don't you dare tear up the marriage contract?"

Xiao Yan had guessed one possibility.

Tear up the marriage contracts, leaving no evidence.

Xiao Han smiled faintly. "These marriage contracts were left behind by our predecessors. As a member of the Xiao Clan, I naturally could not commit such an act of desecration against our deceased forebears."

With Xiao Han saying that, everyone became even more puzzled.

Taking the marriage contract Xiao Yan had given him, Xiao Han frowned deeply. "Huh, what is going on here? Why is this one the same?"

"The same how?"

Everyone's curiosity had been completely hooked by Xiao Han.
