Three-Year Agreement

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, Yun Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.

Xiao Zhan's expression changed again, but in the end he didn't interrupt.

"You say."

Nalan Yanran looked at him with some curiosity, wondering what Xiao Yan would still ask for at this point. Did he want more compensation?

Three years.

Xiao Yan held up three fingers.

"Give me three years. After three years, I will challenge you."

The courtyard was completely silent.

Yun Yun's gaze fell on Xiao Yan's face, scrutinizing him carefully, as if she were reassessing the young man.

Nalan Yanran was taken aback for a moment, then asked:

"Why?"

For no other reason than...

Xiao Yan's voice was calm, but anyone could hear that beneath that calm lay a raging fire.

"I just want to prove them wrong."

Nalan Yanran paused for a moment, then smiled calmly, her gaze towards Xiao Yan filled with admiration.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the Misty Cloud Sect in three years."

"Master, is this alright?"

Nalan Yanran turned to look at Yun Yun.

"Since it's your own decision, I have no objection. I will personally preside over the competition."

The unwilling young man wanted to prove himself, so giving him this opportunity was fine. Then, Yun Yun looked at Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Clan, and what about you?"

Xiao Zhan remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

What else can I say?

Nobody even asked for his opinion, okay? He's been sitting here for ages like he's invisible!

However, Xiao Zhan was still grateful to Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran for coming to visit him privately.

If this matter becomes public knowledge, it will be a greater blow not only to the Xiao Household but also to Xiao Yan himself.

"Thank you for your understanding, Xiao Clan. The Misty Cloud Sect will provide appropriate compensation for what happened today."

Yun Yun stood up and nodded slightly to Xiao Zhan.

"No need. Since the engagement is off, there's no need to mention compensation or anything like that."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand, his tone somewhat weary.

With Qin Yu's three Rank 4 pills already in hand, whether or not they accept the gifts from the Misty Cloud Sect is irrelevant.

Yun Yun didn't say much, but left three exquisite little boxes on the table. Then, she instantly appeared in front of Qin Yu, who was eating melon seeds.

"Sect Master Yun, you..."

"Come with me."

Hehe, since Qin Yu, my chat partner, is here, I must seize this opportunity to have a good chat before returning to the Misty Cloud Sect!

Why? ×2

Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian asked the same question at the same time. Xiao Yi Xian even came forward and hugged Qin Yu directly, looking at Yun Yun warily like a kitten guarding its food.

"Uh, young lady, please don't misunderstand, it's just casual conversation between ordinary friends."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's actions, Yun Yun quickly explained, emphasizing the words "ordinary friends".

But Xiao Yi Xian was clearly on high alert, refusing to let go of Qin Yu's arm no matter what.

Qin Yu had mentioned before that Yun Yun intended to recruit him into the Misty Cloud Sect. Given Yun Yun's "immense" resources and Qin Yu 'Qin Yu abilities, what if she were to kidnap him?

"Okay, I'm sorry, young lady, I was a bit presumptuous."

Yun Yun covered her ample bosom with one hand, then bowed slightly to Xiao Yi Xian to express her apology.

Tsk, no wonder those sect elders dared to outwardly comply with Yun Yun while secretly going against her.

Qin Yu muttered to himself, "How can someone with such a gentle nature manage a sect?"

Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with this personality trait, but for a sect leader, it's the biggest flaw.

Seeing Yun Yun's sincerity, Xiao Yi Xian gradually lowered her guard and let go of her hand.

Since a powerful Dou Emperor has already achieved this, she naturally has to accept it gracefully.

"Come back soon."

After saying that, Xiao Yi Xian left first. Yun Yun also gave Nalan Yanran a wink, and the other party immediately understood and left alone.

Yun Yun unfurled her Battle Qi Wings, and Qin Yu also spread his Purple Cloud Wings. The two flew out of the Xiao Household one after the other.

In the courtyard, Xiao Zhan sat on a stone bench with his head down, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Xiao Yan stood beside him, his eyes wide as he stared in the direction where Yun Yun and Qin Yu had disappeared.

What did he just see?

Qin Yu... flew up?!

Isn't that something only Dou Wang could do?

"Yan'er, what are you looking at?"

Just then, Xiao Zhan, who had been silent with his head down for a long time, raised his head and found that his son was staring at the sky, lost in thought.

"Brother Qin Yu... he's flying!"

"Ah?"

Xiao Zhan was somewhat confused. What was that thing flying up?

"Silly boy, that's Flying Dou Technique, not Dou Qi Transformation Wings. Qin Yu's cultivation level is already Nine-Star Great Battle Master, there's no mistake."

The Yao Lao's voice appeared again, reminding Xiao Yan and calming him down a little.

He was terrified! He thought Qin Yu was hiding his true strength, but in reality, he already possessed the cultivation of Dou Wang!

"But kid, are you really that confident you can defeat Nalan Yanran in three years?"

Xiao Yan's actions just now not only earned Nalan Yanran's admiration, but also made Yao Lao think more highly of him.

This at least shows that three years of being a "waste" did not break Xiao Yan; instead, it became the driving force for his progress.

"Didn't you say you were Alchemist and wanted me to become your apprentice?"

"Now that you've become my disciple, you should at least offer some support in terms of cultivation techniques, methods, and elixirs, right?"

After leaving Xiao Zhan's courtyard, Xiao Yan finally revealed his thoughts.

"Oh? So this is what you were waiting for?"

"Nonsense! I cultivated on my own before becoming a disciple. If I continue to cultivate on my own after becoming a disciple, wouldn't I have wasted my time as a disciple?"

Xiao Yan's matter-of-fact attitude made Yao Lao both amused and exasperated; this little rascal was quite clever.

"Besides, you've absorbed my Dou Qi for three years, and you won't even become my disciple. Aren't you going to offer any compensation?"

"Oh, alright, alright, look at you, you've never had any good food."

Yao Lao quickly shut Xiao Yan up; if he kept talking, he might as well just take out all the treasures from his Storage Ring!

Qin Yu spread his Purple Cloud Wings and flew out of the Xiao Household with Yun Yun.

The two made a turn in the sky above Wutan City and landed south of the city.

There's a small square there; it's a market during the day, but very quiet at night with hardly anyone around.

Yun Yun folded her Battle Qi Wings and landed lightly, with Qin Yu following closely behind.

Your girlfriend is quite clingy.

The two walked slowly along the path beside the square. Yun Yun spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.

"So what? A little stickiness isn't a bad thing."

"Hey, where did you two meet?"

Gradually, Yun Yun started talking non-stop, gossiping about Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian's "love history" while complaining about the annoying things in the sect that made her feel exhausted.

With Qin Yu, Yun Yun's main trait is to say whatever comes to mind.

Her two previous encounters had led her to speculate about the young man's identity.
