Xiao Family, Xiao Yan, Here to Honor the Agreement!

Misty Cloud Sect is the most powerful sect in the Jia Ma Empire. Since its establishment, it has been passed down through generations. Each Sect Master has possessed the strength of Dou Emperor, making it the sect that everyone in the Jia Ma Empire dreams of joining.

The Misty Cloud Sect was built on Misty Cloud Mountain. Misty Cloud Mountain alone was already towering into the clouds, and the Misty Cloud Sect, built on Misty Cloud Mountain, was like a fairyland, shrouded in clouds and mist.

The Misty Cloud Sect is dozens of miles away from the Imperial Capital. At this moment, on the road to the Misty Cloud Sect, a young man dressed in black robes and carrying a strange Black Ruler is resolutely moving forward.

Xiao Yan's strange Black Ruler made him particularly attractive to passersby on the wide road.

Xiao Yan seemed oblivious to the gazes directed at him, continuing to walk forward at a leisurely pace.

As Xiao Yan headed to the Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran, the female protagonist of the Three Year Agreement, stood in the vast square, dressed in a moon-colored robe, her eyes slightly closed.

Enveloped in mist and swaying in the breeze, Nalan Yanran's moon-colored robe clung perfectly to her delicate body, showcasing her curvaceous figure beautifully.

Looking around the square, one can see that nearly a thousand people are sitting cross-legged there.

These people sat in a semi-circle, dressed in moon-white robes. Cloud-shaped longswords fluttered in the wind at the cuffs of their robes, and a faint sword intent emanated from them.

Looking up from the semi-circular crowd, one can see rows of towering stone steps gradually ascending from the top of the square.

Looking up from these stone steps, on each stone platform, there is a person sitting cross-legged, and the higher you go, the older the person sitting there looks.

Looking up to the very top, one's heart is instantly stirred with excitement.

After all, looking up from below, most of the people in front were elderly people with white hair. Then, this stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant and noble air appeared at the very top. Anyone would feel refreshed and their heart would surge with excitement. Of course, this was only in Lin Ming's opinion. As for whether others had the courage to look directly at the stunning woman at the top, Lin Ming was not sure.

The spacious square was quiet and still, and time passed quietly in this tranquility.

The sun, high in the sky, gradually climbed higher, its rays spreading across the entire mountaintop.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, the sound of light footsteps drifted gently from the Blue Stone steps outside the square.

The steady, heavy footsteps, gradually becoming clearer as they approached, filled the quiet square with the sound of panting.

Inside the plaza, all the Misty Cloud Sect Disciple opened their eyes at this moment, their gazes all fixed on the end of the steps.

Inside the square, Nalan Yanran's slightly closed eyes brightened at this moment, and her gaze went straight towards the end of the stone platform.

The footsteps grew closer and louder, so much so that the old men on the stone platform and the noble woman at the very top all turned their gazes toward the same spot.

In the distant sky, sunlight streamed down, piercing through the misty clouds and casting beams of light at the end of the stone steps. As these beams fell, a tall, imposing figure gradually became clear at the end of the steps.

As this figure appeared, all the thousands of eyes in the square turned to look at him.

Facing the gazes of thousands, the Black-robed Youth carrying Giant Black Ruler looked ahead without joy or sorrow, his gaze settling on the beautiful woman who was also looking at him.

With light steps, he lifted his foot, put it down, lifted it again, put it down, and took three steps forward. Then he stopped, slowly raised his head, and gazed ahead. His soft words echoed and lingered in the square.

"Xiao Family Xiao Yan family has arrived at the appointment!"

"Isn't this little guy from the Xiao Family supposed to be a good-for-nothing who can't store Dou Qi? Now it seems he's not as good-for-nothing as the rumors say!" Seeing Xiao Yan's calm and composed demeanor under the gaze of so many people, Jia Xingtian immediately said with a hint of surprise.

Xiao Yan's composure was unmatched by ordinary people. In this world, without a certain level of strength, one could not act with such ease. Even if Xiao Yan were truly a waste, his composure in this situation was something no ordinary person could do, to the point that even the Old Monster Jia Xingtian, who had lived for so long, showed a hint of surprise.

"For some reason, this little guy from the Xiao Family gives me a familiar feeling." After Jia Xingtian finished speaking, Fa Ma, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly and replied to Jia Xingtian with a strange expression.

"Hehe, you feel the same way. Maybe we'll run into him somewhere." Jia Xingtian said meaningfully after hearing Fa Ma's words.

The words Jia Xingtian spoke caused Fa Ma's brows to furrow even deeper. After all, as Alchemist Fa Ma, Fa Ma possessed exceptionally strong Soul Power, and he would remember everyone he had ever met. But now, Xiao Yan gave him a familiar feeling, yet Fa Ma had no recollection of him, which inevitably made Fa Ma begin to ponder.

"Hey, old man, is this the Xiao Family boy who almost became your Nalan Family's son-in-law? He doesn't seem as useless as the rumors say! Just his demeanor and temperament alone are unmatched among the young people of the empire." As Fa Ma spoke to Jia Xingtian, Mu Chen, the Dou Wang of the Mu Family, also said to Nalan Jie with a smile.

Seeing Mu Chen's gloating expression, Nalan Jie's face darkened even more.

Everyone else could see Xiao Yan's behavior after his arrival, and Nalan Jie was certainly able to see it as well.

Just as Jia Xingtian and Mu Chen said, Xiao Yan's calm and composed demeanor alone showed that he was no ordinary person, which made Nalan Jie feel regretful.

After all, if Xiao Yan were truly a good-for-nothing, that would be one thing. Although others might not speak kindly of him, one could argue that he betrayed his promise to prevent his granddaughter from falling into a pit of fire. But judging from the current situation, Xiao Yan is clearly not a simple man either.

Such a seemingly extraordinary person was rejected by his own family. If others were to say that Nalan Jie initially looked down on the other person and thus rejected the engagement, but now that the other person is also extraordinary, then if they were to say that Nalan Jie was blind twice, letting a good son-in-law slip away and even causing him to become an enemy of his family.
