Acting as Brother to Divorce Wife!

"..."

The people from the Misty Cloud Sect didn't expect Xiao Lang to make a move. Even when several Dou Grandmasters from the Misty Cloud Sect sensed Xiao Lang's attack, they were too late to stop him.

However, the Xiao family seemed to have anticipated this, clearly knowing Xiao Lang would intervene, as most of them had been on the receiving end of his beatings before.

In fact, they were all traumatized by it.

Although Xiao Lang had only advanced from a Two-star Dou Practitioner to a Three-star Dou Practitioner in three years, there weren't many, or rather, very few, among the younger generation of the Xiao family who had reached Three-star Dou Practitioner.

Not to mention that over the past three years, Xiao Lang's physical strength had greatly improved again with the help of pills and training. Previously, he could take down a Dou Practitioner with one slap; now, even a Dou Master below Three-star would struggle to resist a single slap.

If Xiao Lang hadn't controlled his strength, not wanting to attract the attention of the Misty Cloud Sect, this slap would have been enough to knock out several of the opponent's teeth.

Of course, if the opponent continued to be ignorant, then knocking out a few teeth wouldn't satisfy him.

"You!"

The man immediately reacted and was about to say some harsh words, but upon seeing the veiled killing intent in Xiao Lang's smile, he immediately shut his mouth in fear.

Although Xiao Lang had spent half of these three years acting like a dissolute young master, harassing respectable women everywhere, the remaining time was spent fighting in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Relying on the pills from the system, although they couldn't help him break through quickly, they allowed him to recover Dou Qi rapidly, enabling him to fight continuously, accumulate combat experience, and build up a formidable killing aura.

Even in the eyes of Xiao Zhan and the several Dou Grandmasters present, Xiao Lang's killing intent made them feel wary.

"That's more like it. Why resort to violence when we can talk things through peacefully?" Xiao Lang nodded in satisfaction and returned to his seat.

Because of Xiao Lang's presence, the three elders didn't dare to target Xiao Yan too aggressively or deny him a seat.

"The Xiao family is truly arrogant, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement. Do you look down on my Misty Cloud Sect!" the white-robed elder, Ge Ye, frowned, his Seven-star Dou Grandmaster aura suddenly erupting.

At the same time, he marveled inwardly. It was said that the Xiao family's behavior was the most eccentric and peculiar, and that the third son of the Xiao family, Xiao Lang, who was considered brain-damaged, was a good-for-nothing who could only advance one star in three years. But seeing him today, the fact that he could suppress a Five-star Dou Practitioner as a Three-star Dou Practitioner was simply unprecedented!

Although what he was doing here with his people a few days ago was not honorable, he couldn't let the Xiao family look down on his Misty Cloud Sect!

"Dad, someone is bullying the younger with the elder!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lang, completely disregarding decorum, shouted towards Xiao Zhan.

"……"

Not only Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran's expressions froze, but even the man who had been slapped looked stunned. The Xiao Lang who had been so imposing just moments ago was now so… shameless?

"Mr. Ge Ye, it's normal for children to squabble. No one is bleeding or missing limbs, so as adults, let's not interfere. Shall we discuss the reason for your visit to my Xiao family today?"

Xiao Zhan felt helpless internally, but as a father, how could he stand by and watch his son be bullied? He had to step forward and say.

"……"

Ge Ye's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, 'You call this squabbling when there are five bright red finger marks on his face.'

However, he had a request from them today, and as the elder, it was indeed inappropriate to pursue the matter, otherwise, it would make him seem petty.

More importantly, his own disciple had spoken out of turn first, so they were in the wrong.

"It's like this……"

After a round of introductions, Ge Ye said with some embarrassment, "So… so the Sect Master wishes to invite Patriarch Xiao to… dissolve this engagement."

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

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat silent. The three elders above were also startled by Ge Ye's words, but after a moment, their gazes towards Xiao Zhan were filled with a hint of mockery and ridicule.

Some of the younger disciples, unaware of the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, became quite animated after inquiring from their parents, their faces filled with scorn as they cast mocking glances towards Xiao Yan in the corner.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's extremely grim expression, Nalan Yanran dared not look up, burying her head and nervously twisting her fingers together.

"Patriarch Xiao, I know this request is somewhat unreasonable, but I implore you, for the Sect Master's sake, to dissolve the engagement…" Ge Ye sighed helplessly and said calmly.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, and faint green Dou Qi gradually covered his body, eventually vaguely forming a phantom lion's head on his face.

Xiao Family's top cultivation method: Raging Lion's Wrath! Level: Profound Tier Mid-grade!

Seeing Xiao Zhan's reaction, Ge Ye's expression also became solemn. He blocked Nalan Yanran with his body, his eagle-claw-like hands suddenly curling, and green Dou Qi gathered in his claws, emitting small but sharp sword qi.

Misty Cloud Sect's profound cultivation method, Azure Wood Sword Art! Level: Profound Tier Low-grade!

As their auras erupted, the weaker youths in the hall suddenly turned pale, and their chests felt constricted.

Just as Xiao Zhan's breathing grew more rapid, the stern shouts of the three elders resounded through the hall like thunder: "Xiao Zhan, stop immediately! Don't forget, you are the Patriarch of the Xiao family!"

Slumping back into his chair, Xiao Zhan looked indifferently at Nalan Yanran, who kept her head down, and said with a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Niece Nalan, you have quite the spirit. Nalan Su is truly fortunate to have a daughter like you!"

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and Nalan Yanran murmured, "Uncle Xiao…"

"Heh heh, just call me Patriarch Xiao. I cannot accept the title of 'Uncle.' You are the future Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect and a prominent figure on the Dou Qi Continent. My Yan'er is merely a person of mediocre talent and indeed unworthy of you…" Xiao Zhan waved his hand lightly, his tone cold.

"Thank you for your understanding, Patriarch Xiao. We will consider this our apology." Ge Ye, on the side, wisely reached out and wiped a ring on his finger, and an ancient jade box, entirely green, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Carefully opening the box, a peculiar fragrance immediately permeated the hall. Those who smelled it felt their spirits refreshed, clearly it was the Qi Gathering Powder that had been given to Xiao Lang before.

Just as the three elders looked greedily at this Qi Gathering Powder, Xiao Lang's eyes finally saw the long-awaited system choice!

"Seeing your younger brother suffer such humiliation, you choose……"
