Xiao Yan and Nalan Ended, But

Hearing explosions all around him, he was pulled into a hug, as if someone was shielding him from the energy shocks.

"Teacher, is that you?"

Nalan Yanran murmured a question, then opened her tightly closed eyes.

As I slowly lifted my eyelids, an unexpected face came into view.

A delicate face, with slightly Mountain Cave purple wings on its back.

It was Xiao Yan.

Yun Yun was standing nearby, was pulled back and told to wait on the balcony.

Why did you save me?

Nalan Yanran asked in astonishment, her heart filled with doubt, confusion, and a feeling of being moved that she herself had not even realized.

"I'll save you if I want to. If you die here, I'll be in a lot of trouble too."

A complex emotion flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Perhaps it was because of Lan Na, or perhaps it was because if Nalan Yanran died here, it would also cause him trouble.

Regardless of the reason, Xiao Yan still chose to brave the damage from a distance to save Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan put Nalan Yanran down on the ground.

"The Three-Year Agreement is over. You no longer have the strength to fight, Nalan Yanran."

Xiao Yan's voice rang out with a hint of relief, a release from the humiliation of the past, and an acknowledgment of the hard work he had put in over the past three years.

"Yes, it's over. I lost too. I admit I underestimated you because of my shortsightedness, but now you've made me look at you in a completely different light."

"I admit and accept that I lost miserably. But if I had another chance, I would still choose to annul the engagement. My destiny is in my own hands, not to be manipulated by others. I cannot accept these ridiculous arranged marriages and spend my life with a stranger."

Looking at the handsome face in front of him, the image of the Monster Mountain Range, and the ordinary young man he had spent some time with recently, his eyes were somewhat dazed, and mixed with a hint of self-mockery.

"I don't think you're wrong to want to annul the engagement, and I don't like this kind of thing either. But your mistake lies in the way you chose to do it. At that time, you were only driven by your own arrogance and didn't think about this."

"Everything is over now, and you don't need to keep the ridiculous promises you made before."

Xiao Yan leaned close to her ear, his voice slow but firm.

"Sorry"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran's face paled. Indeed, the arrogant Nalan Yanran of the past only thought about her own affairs and never cared about others.

The current reality has made her clearly aware of how excessive her past actions were.

"This matter is over. You don't need to apologize to me anymore. Who was right and who was wrong is irrelevant. Our agreement is over, and you don't need to keep your promises. Consider today's failure the price for your past arrogance."

Congratulations, you are free.

Xiao Tian looked at Nalan Yanran in front of him and said in a hoarse voice that he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless when he thought that Nalan Yanran was Lan Na.

Nalan Yanran's expression was complicated. She had achieved the result she had wanted three years ago, but a large part of her heart felt empty.

"Yes, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's matter is over, but..."

After the two finished talking, the storm in the room subsided. Xiao Yan reached out and manipulated the Mysterious Heavy Ruler to fly back into his hand, which he then carried on his back.

"I never imagined Xiao Yan was Yan Xiao. I never expected this kid to have such outstanding Yao Tian in Yao Tian, not only in that."

Fa Ma sighed, shook his head, and looked at the young man in the arena who had restrained his aura.

"Indeed, this talent is simply extraordinary."

The expression on Jia Xing Tian's face was slightly strange.

Mittel Tengshan remained quite calm, even sporting a slight smile. Given the relationship between Xiao Tian and Ya Fei, Xiao Yan was undoubtedly on their side, and Xiao Tian's talent was even superior.

Nalan Jie, perched atop the tree, wore a blank, panicked, and bitter expression. The treetops and leaves beneath his feet trembled slightly, reflecting his current state of mind. Such a brilliant genius had been pushed out the door just like that.

Nalan Jie looked as if he had aged ten years, and his face had become much sallow. This blow was undoubtedly enormous, and could even destroy a person's will.

"As for Xiao Yan, I'm more curious about his brother. If the younger brother is so powerful, and he even surpassed Xiao Yan in the Alchemist Convention, I wonder if his cultivation talent is just as formidable."

Jia Xing Tian's words resounded like thunder in everyone's ears, and a group of old men involuntarily looked at Xiao Tian, who was smiling on the high platform.

Jia Xing Tian's words naturally had their own purpose. Misty Cloud Sect had always been a thorn in the side of the Imperial Family and their greatest threat.

Now Xiao Tian is with Yun Yun, and there's also Ya Fei among them. Hai Bo Dong is also very familiar with Xiao Tian, which means that Mittel and Xiao Tian are on the same side.

Thinking of Yun Shan, whose fate is now unknown Xiao Yi Xian Xiao Tian, whom he cannot see through, Xiao Tian, Yun Yun, and Hai Bo Dong.

Jia Xing Tian felt like his head was about to explode.

This force might just be able to overthrow their own Imperial Family.

"Damn brat, he doesn't give our Misty Cloud Sect any face at all."

Yun Leng slammed his fist on the stone platform, his face ashen.

"Grand Elder, what do we do now? Yanran has already lost, and the reputation of our Misty Cloud Sect is ruined."

An Elder looked at Yun Leng with a wry smile.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either." Yun Leng looked coldly at Xiao Yan's departing figure.

At this moment, Yun Yun's figure appeared in the middle of the square.

Thank you all for coming to watch this competition; the result was quite unexpected.

"This also allows us to witness the excellence of two geniuses. Xiao Yan, your talent is outstanding. You are welcome to visit our Misty Cloud Sect at any time."

Yun Yun had no complaints about Nalan Yanran's defeat. The two were facing off; one was her husband's younger brother, and the other was her apprentice—both were family.

The onlookers suddenly realized, "Damn it! Although the two are Marriage Contract, if you think about the relationship between Xiao Tian and Yun Yun, isn't this still a fight between their own family members? Whoever wins or loses is still one of them."

A herd of Grass Mud Horse galloped through my mind.

Yun Yun turned to look at Nalan Yanran and the many disciples whose faces were filled with resentment. "I want to tell you, a true strong person is not one who has never been defeated, but one who learns from their defeats and continues to grow."

"Yanran, this failure is also a valuable experience for you. You should learn from it, understand your problems, and then work even harder to improve."

"In this world where might makes right, put away your ridiculous arrogance. One can have pride, but not arrogance. This is a lesson for you."

During this competition, Yun Yun also discovered the arrogance and haughtiness of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples, who even considered themselves superior.

If this trend continues within the sect, the entire sect will gradually decline, and may even face annihilation.

Yun Yun looked at Yun Leng, who was sitting cross-legged, with a cold gaze. Basically, Yun Leng handled the affairs of the sect, and she herself didn't get involved much. Her teacher also valued Yun Leng more.

Although he held the position of Sect Master, his teacher still placed most of the power in Yun Leng's hands.

(According to the Original Work, if Yun Yun hadn't been so powerful, she might still be a Puppet Sect Master. Power would basically be in Yun Leng's hands, and the sect Elder would mostly obey him. Even the flute that could summon Yun Shan Yun Leng in Yun Leng's possession. Yun Yun was either on a mission or on her way to one.)
