The Broken Engagement Farce

The Broken Engagement Farce

In the hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were engaged in rather cordial conversation with Ge Ye, while more eyes were fixed on Chen Qiye.

Quite a few people thought, He offended the Second Elder, yet he still dared to stay instead of running? Their gazes at Chen Qiye carried more mockery and ridicule.

Xiao Yan was worried as well. My teacher may be mysterious, but just how strong is he? This is the Xiao family, after all, and the elders hold great power.

A trace of worry appeared on his face. Beside him, Xiao Xun'er watched him with a puzzled frown.

He was too quiet!

Chen Qiye was checking his system. That slap had shocked quite a few Xiao family members, and the emotional points it generated made him eager to enter the system.

Host: Chen Qiye

Realm: First-Stage Warrior (One-Star Dou Zhe)

Experience: 700/2000

Cultivation Technique: Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms

Master Value: 1

Master Level: One Star

Current Plane: Battle Through the Heavens

Disciple in This Plane: Xiao Yan

Chen Qiye secretly reveled in it. Sure enough, emotional points have an area-of-effect effect!

Xiao Yan glanced at Chen Qiye several times. Seeing that he was ignoring him, he could only whisper quietly with Xiao Xun'er.

After a long while, once Xiao Zhan and the others had exchanged several rounds of pleasantries with Ge Ye, Nalan Yanran finally could not resist rising from her seat.

The corners of Chen Qiye's lips curled up slightly in a faint smile. This favored daughter of heaven is about to begin her broken engagement farce!

The moment she moved, Xiao Yan's expression changed, anger surging within him. Clearly, Xiao Xun'er had already told him the purpose of Nalan Yanran's visit.

Yet everyone's attention was focused on Nalan Yanran, who bore countless dazzling halos.

"Clan Leader Xiao!"

Nalan Yanran gave a slight bow and looked directly at Xiao Zhan in the seat of honor. Addressing him as clan leader clearly showed that she intended to emphasize their respective statuses and keep her distance. There was not the slightest hint of respect in her tone.

During his earlier conversation with Ge Ye, Xiao Zhan had already learned her identity.

She was the direct disciple of Yun Yun, the current sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. What an exalted status!

"What does Miss Nalan wish to say?"

Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he heard the arrogance in her words and had already guessed most of it. His voice gradually turned cold.

"Cough..."

At Nalan Yanran's words, Ge Ye wore a helpless expression. Thinking of Yun Yun's affection for Nalan Yanran, he stood and said with a smile:

"Clan Leader Xiao, you also know that the Misty Cloud Sect's rules are strict. Yanran is the sect leader's direct disciple and is extremely likely to become the next sect leader. Due to certain special rules, the sect leader's successor cannot have any entanglements with men before becoming sect leader, so..."

The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat quiet. The three elders eagerly awaited Ge Ye's next words, and their gazes toward Xiao Zhan were already filled with mockery and derision.

Having someone come to his door and forcibly dissolve an engagement was a blatant slap in Xiao Zhan's face.

Just as everyone was preparing to enjoy the show—

"Cough..." A cough interrupted Ge Ye.

"Hey, you. Where did you say you were from just now?"

Chen Qiye suddenly opened his eyes and spoke calmly.

Hey, you?

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that form of address.

Ge Ye was a Seven-Star Da Dou Shi. Even Xiao Zhan, the Xiao family patriarch, was two stars below him and respectfully addressed him as Mister Ge Ye.

Xiao Zhan froze on the spot, while Xiao Xun'er stared at Chen Qiye in shock.

The three elders had a hint of delight in their eyes. The Second Elder nearly laughed aloud. While still pondering how to deal with Chen Qiye, he had not expected the man to leap out and court death himself.

"Teacher..."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, feeling slightly moved. He had matured early, and he immediately understood that Chen Qiye was standing up for him.

"Ding! Obtained 5 Master Value!"

"Ding! Emotional points from Xiao Zhan: +100!"

"Ding! Emotional points from Xiao Yan: +100!"

"Ding!..." In the blink of an eye, Chen Qiye's realm rose another level, and he entered the Two-Star Dou Zhe realm.

"What do you mean by that, friend?" Ge Ye came from a great sect after all. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly:

"Do you think our Misty Cloud Sect is as easy to bully as the Xiao family?"

Upon hearing the first half, quite a few Xiao family members wore mocking smiles. By the second half, however, many of their expressions turned ugly.

What the hell did that mean? Was he saying the Xiao family was easy to bully?

Even the three elders, who were at odds with Xiao Zhan, frowned. But when facing a colossal force like the Misty Cloud Sect, they only dared to be angry without voicing it.

"The Misty Cloud Sect? Then I have the right place."

Chen Qiye looked utterly calm, completely unconcerned by Ge Ye's anger.

"Has that old man Yun Shan broken through to Dou Zong yet?"

"Hiss!"

The moment those words came out, a chorus of sharp breaths filled the hall!

"Ding! Emotional points from..."

"Ding!..." Another massive wave of emotional points flowed in, and Chen Qiye broke through directly to Three-Star Dou Zhe.

Everyone looked at Chen Qiye with utter disbelief!

Who was Yun Shan?

Many people present did not know, but the words "Dou Zong" completely shocked them!

What kind of terrifying existence was a Dou Zong expert? They did not even dare to imagine it.

The Second Elder felt as if he had been kicked by a dog. He actually knew a Dou Zong expert? And he had wanted to retaliate against him? He immediately broke out in a cold shiver.

Ge Ye stared fixedly at Chen Qiye, his face shifting from green to white to purple!

He stood there in a daze, unable to stop himself from thinking, I should have realized it long ago. He is already a Three-Star Dou Zhe at such a young age—he must have an extraordinary background!

Ge Ye was a Da Dou Shi expert, after all, and he quickly steadied himself.

Many knew Yun Shan's name, but even Nalan Yanran did not know that Yun Shan was alive and in seclusion attempting to break through to Dou Zong. Ge Ye had only learned of it by chance.

"I did not expect this little brother to have such a connection with our Misty Cloud Sect. May I ask which elder of yours knows the old sect leader?"

Ge Ye's form of address changed instantly.

"Who told you I know him?"

Chen Qiye said indifferently, triggering another uproar!

"Ding! Emotional points from..."

Everyone present began breathing rapidly, their gazes toward Chen Qiye incomparably complicated. Damn it, if you don't know him, what were you showing off for?

"You were playing with me? You are courting death!"

Ge Ye's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging as his entire body resembled an enraged lion. He stared at Chen Qiye, wishing he could devour him whole.

"Mister Ge, please calm down. This Chen Qiye is not a member of our Xiao family..." Seeing the situation, the Second Elder immediately spoke.

At those words, Xiao Yan's body stiffened, and he could not help looking worriedly at his teacher.

Chen Qiye's face remained neither happy nor angry as he said, "A Dou Zong? What is that worth!"

A Dou Zong? What was that worth!

He had gone mad! This damned guy had definitely gone mad!

Could he not see that even the clan leader and elders did not dare offend a Da Dou Shi? Yet he actually dared to openly insult a Dou Zong expert!

The Xiao family members stared at Chen Qiye in horror, their eyes filled with fear!

Sure enough, Ge Ye roared in fury, "You dare insult the old sect leader? You brought death upon yourself! No one can save you today..."

Azure Dou Qi erupted from his body, radiating fine, sharp sword qi!

A profound cultivation technique of the Misty Cloud Sect—the Azure Wood Sword Art! Rank: Low Xuan Tier!

As Ge Ye's aura erupted, the weaker youths in the hall suddenly turned pale, their chests growing somewhat tight.

Just as Ge Ye's breathing grew more and more rapid, Chen Qiye sneered.

"Is that so? Then take a look at this!"

With a flip of his palm, a transparent medicinal pill the size of a marble appeared in his hand.

"This is... a medicinal pill! You're actually an alchemist!"
