Don't Bully a Young Man into Poverty

In fact, when Ge Ye learned that the young man with Three Stages of Dou Zhi Qi was Xiao Yan, who was rumored to be engaged to his Young Sect Master, he also felt disdain.

They even felt a little sorry for the Xiao Clan Patriarch, whose illustrious reputation was probably ruined by such a good-for-nothing.

It should be noted that Ge Ye originally had high expectations for Xiao Yan. Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Clan Patriarch, was Dou Wang expert, and his two sons had made a name for themselves in the outside world.

The eldest son, Xiao Ding, was already at the Dou Ling level in his early twenties. During his training in the Tagor Desert, he even managed to escape unscathed from the Dou Wang of the Snake-People Tribe, and his fame resounded throughout several surrounding cities.

The second son, Xiao Li, is rumored to have gone to the Black-Corner Region, a place known for its ruthless and chaotic nature. Although no details are known, judging from the Xiao Clan's current situation, they are clearly doing quite well.

That's the epitome of "like father, like son," so how did Xiao Yan become such a stain? But despite his disdain, the shrewd old man naturally wouldn't publicly expose him. But who would have thought...

This ancestor has absolutely no tact; he just blurted out a sarcastic remark...

Sigh!

Just as Ge Ye was thinking of saying something to make amends, Xiao Yan's gentle expression vanished, replaced by an extremely terrifying ferocity.

"What, do you think you're some kind of hot commodity? Do you really think I care about someone like you, the Yun Lan Sect Young Sect Master? The Yun Lan Sect is powerful, but my Xiao Clan is no less so."

"In terms of talent, I broke through to the Da Dou Shi at the age of twelve. You, a mere Dou Zhe, are nothing special in the Xiao Clan." Xiao Yan spoke bluntly, almost revealing the secrets of the Xiao Clan family's younger generation. Xiao Long's expression changed, and she suddenly shouted sternly, "Yan Er!"

Xiao Yan paused immediately. Although he didn't know why, he subconsciously stopped talking.

However, Xiao Yan's words made Ge Ye and the other two feel strange. Nalan Yanran even scoffed and mocked, "Xiao Yan, don't brag. A twelve-year-old Da Dou Shi. Even my teacher, Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect Master and the youngest Dou Huang expert in the entire Jia Ma Empire, was only a four- Dou Zhe at the age of twelve. If you were really that powerful, how could you only have a mere Three Stages of Dou Zhi Qi now?"

Does this guy really want to tell some Arabian Nights story like his Dou Qi disappearing overnight?

Um?

Xiao Yan frowned. Was he really that bad? Xiao Yan knew very well that there were quite a few people his age who broke through to the Dou Zhe level around the age of twelve. He himself became Dou Zhe around the age of ten and then quickly broke through to the Da Dou Shi within two years.

If Nalan Yanran is not mistaken, how could the Xiao Clan be only about the same level as the Yun Lan Sect, or even slightly weaker?

"Are you serious?" Xiao Yan asked, his eyes fixed on Nalan Yanran. For a moment, he ignored the fact that she had mocked him.

"What do you mean, 'real' or 'fake'?" Nalan Yanran said impatiently. "I hope you won't pester me here, or even make up some lie about being a peerless genius."

"You spoiled brat who relies on your family, you're a piece of trash. What right do you have to compare yourself to me? The Xiao Clan can help you for a while, but they can't protect you forever. We will eventually become people from two different worlds..."

"Young Sect Master, watch your words!" Ge Ye hurriedly stopped Nalan Yanran, who was about to continue speaking. "Do you want to die?"

He secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, the person directly involved. At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his hands were bulging. This was the Xiao Clan. Even if Xiao Yan really killed him and his group in a fit of anger, he would not have any doubts.

Couldn't this young lady consider the consequences of her words and actions? Ge Ye was filled with panic.

"Xiao Clan Iron Guards, move out!"

Just then, Xiao Long's emotionless voice suddenly rang out in the hall. As soon as she finished speaking, a group of figures wearing ghost masks and exuding powerful auras appeared at the door, their swords drawn, causing Ge Ye to break out in a cold sweat.

Even Nalan Yanran, who was always fearless, was a little flustered. She had never seen such a murderous scene before, as she had always been well protected.

"Madam Xiao, it was the Young Sect Master who offended us. I wonder if he could spare us for the sake of the Yun Lan Sect? I will definitely inform the Sect Master and come to the Xiao Clan to apologize afterwards," Ge Ye said hastily, fearing that if he was a step too late, he would be killed on the spot.

To increase his leverage, Ge Ye continued, "Madam Xiao, these two are disciples of the Yun Lan Sect Young Sect Master and the Pill King Gu He. If something were to happen to them in the Xiao Clan, it probably wouldn't be good news for the Xiao Clan!"

Unfortunately, Ge Ye's words would probably be enough for an ordinary Dou Zong family. A sect with Dou Zong expert in charge and a Rank 6 Alchemist Grandmaster are indeed not something an ordinary family can afford to offend.

But...

"Yan Er, do as you please. My Xiao Clan can bear the consequences!" Xiao Long said expressionlessly.

"Young Sect Master..." Ge Ye's expression brightened upon hearing this, and he quickly called out to Nalan Yanran in a low voice, hoping that the latter would say something conciliatory.

What can be done...

Nalan Yanran seemed oblivious to the danger she was facing, her words still sharp and merciless, "Xiao Yan, you really are just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to rely on your family. I, Nalan Yanran, would rather die than marry a piece of trash like you..."

"Say it again?" Just then, Xiao Yan spoke calmly. Even so, Nalan Yanran looked as if she were facing a Fierce Beast, and her face turned pale.

But he quickly recovered, even showing disdain, and said, "What, you really dare to attack me? You can take this as coercion. My grandmaster has already broken through to the legendary Honored One Realm. If I really die here... you can think about the consequences."

In short, I'm determined to call off this engagement.

Ge Ye was delighted. No wonder his Young Sect Master was so confident. So that's why. I think the Xiao Clan will make concessions.

"Hehe~ Miss Nalan is really amazing!" Xiao Yan said with a smile, but that smile made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Xiao Yan was well aware that Yun Lan Sect truly possessed the legendary Dou Zun expert, his own sect could be easily wiped out by such a figure.

If the other party dies in the Xiao Clan, then the Xiao Clan will be in big trouble.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but sneer. If Xiao Yan really dared to attack her, she might have thought more highly of him. But now...

He's nothing but a coward!

Just as Nalan Yanran was thinking this, Xiao Yan's tone suddenly became fierce, "You, Nalan Yanran, came to my Xiao Clan today to break off the engagement, and even tried to intimidate me with your power."

It's just that you think I, Xiao Yan, am not good enough for you, and that my Xiao Clan is not as good as your Yun Lan Sect.

But I'm still young, I have plenty of time. How do you know I won't be able to turn things around in the future?

I, Xiao Yan, offer you a few words of advice: fortunes change, and Don't bully a young man into poverty.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside the door, "Good, good saying, 'Don't bully a young man into poverty.' As expected of my son, Xiao Zhan, he should be extraordinary."

Xiao Zhan and a group of Elder appeared before the group.
