Three-Year Agreement

The moment Xiao Yan appeared, Nalan Yanran opened her slightly closed eyes and looked at the figure in front of her with complicated emotions.

"Yan Er, let's stop here this time, don't make a big fuss!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something, a familiar voice came. Looking up in the direction of the voice, Xiao Zhan nodded slightly with a smile.

"Yun Zhi?"

Before Xiao Yan could even feel happy, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Yun behind Yun Shan. Her red lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were full of shock. Yun Yun Yan's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in his heart.

Yun Yun was not very calm at this moment. She suddenly realized that Yao Yan, who had lived with her for a period of time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and with whom she had a strong affection, was actually the legendary Elder Yao Yan Xiao Yan. Yun Yun found it hard to believe.

Yun Yun naturally noticed Yun Shan's unusual behavior. Knowing her aloof nature, he could easily understand that the boy named Xiao Yan had indeed won her heart.

Otherwise, even if they knew each other, Yun Yun wouldn't have had such strong emotional fluctuations.

He sighed inwardly, "I probably won't be able to keep this disciple!"

He called out, "Yun'er, what's wrong?"

"Huh?" Yun Yun came to her senses and realized her lapse in composure. She then said calmly, "Teacher, I'm fine."

Some tried to cover up their ignorance by explaining, "I just didn't expect that Xiao Yan would be able to go from the Three Stages of Dou Zhi Qi to a three-star Da Dou Shi within three years."

"Right!" Xiao Zhan suddenly jumped out, "My Yan Er has quite a talent, doesn't she, Sect Master Yun?"

As the father, and having received instructions from Xiao Long, Xiao Zhan spared no effort in cultivating Xiao Yan's favorability in front of Yun Yun.

Although Yun Yun found Xiao Zhan's attitude somewhat strange, she still politely said:

"Indeed, your talent is exceptional, even surpassing Yanran's."

Q: How does an elderly father feel when he sees his future in-laws publicly stealing his son's wife?

Yun Shan coughed lightly. "Xiao Clan Leader, shouldn't our competition begin?"

"Oh!" Xiao Zhan immediately remembered the important matter. Let's talk about the future daughter-in-law later!

"Please proceed, Senior Yun Shan!"

At the same time, Xiao Zhan thought to himself, "Yan Er, you must seize this opportunity to show your skills!"

Yun Shan announced from the high platform, "This Three-Year Agreement aims to settle the grievances between the two sides, and the trial will end here..."

Having received prior instructions from Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan did not suddenly retort to Yun Shan with "Life and death are up to fate," but simply listened quietly before preparing to fight.

Fortunately, he didn't do that, otherwise it's hard to say whether he would have gotten along well with his future father-in-law.

However, Xiao Yan's emotional state caused by the reunion with an old friend had not yet subsided, and a sense of nonchalance still lingered.

Finally, Yun Shan announced, "The competition begins!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nalan Yanran shot out with her sword in an instant. Xiao Yan was a step slower, but he was no less fast as he met her.

What followed was a dazzling and intense exchange of blows.

The speed of the two created afterimages, and many people couldn't even distinguish their movements.

However, many of the powerful figures watching the battle were above the Dou Wang, so they naturally had no problem dealing with the speed of a mere Da Dou Shi.

Even among the senior cultivators, they were all amazed by the strength of Xiao Yan and his companion.

Soon, Xiao Zhan's expression turned somewhat strange, because Xiao Yan had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position.

This was not what displeased Xiao Zhan. If Xiao Yan's strength was insufficient, Xiao Yan Xiao Zhan would not have been harsh on him.

But he could easily sense that Xiao Yan was distracted, looking somewhat absent-minded. Although the two seemed to be having a lively back-and-forth, it was quite a lively scene.

In reality, Xiao Yan has been passively responding to every attack. The reason he has been able to hold on until now is due to the exceptional combat instincts that his opponent has developed over a long period of time.

Xiao Zhan was clearly not the only one in the know; Yun Shan was the same. However, Yun Shan was also a shrewd person and naturally guessed the reason.

There was nothing they could do about it. The sudden appearance of Yun Yun and the other person had shaken them both. It remained to be seen whether Xiao Yan could recover in the subsequent battles.

If he can recover, then there's still a chance to win this match. If he can't recover, Xiao Yan will undoubtedly lose!

The turning point came when Nalan Yanran unleashed the Wind Spirit Dividing Form Sword. Eight sword shadows attacked and strangled Xiao Yan, putting him in grave danger.

Faced with this move, Xiao Yan was unable to dodge in time and was directly stabbed in the arm. This blow also completely woke Xiao Yan up.

Based on a true comparison of strength, even though Xiao Yan's cultivation is slightly weaker than Nalan Yanran's, he can still overpower the latter.

However, Xiao Yan was clearly at a disadvantage in the battle just now.

"What, Little Yanzi, do you know where you went wrong?" Elder Yao's weathered voice rang out.

"Teacher, I was wrong." Xiao Yan readily admitted his mistake, a resolute glint in his eyes. "But I won't keep making the same mistake forever."

"Hmm," the Elder Yao said earnestly.

"If you really want to see that girl named Yun Zhi... oh, I should say Yun Yun, you can do so after the Three-Year Agreement ends. It won't make a difference if you wait a little longer."

"Distinguish between primary and secondary points!"

"Yes, teacher!"

"The real battle has only just begun!" Xiao Zhan felt Xiao Yan's suddenly changed aura and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

As expected, Xiao Zhan Xiao Yan threw his Profound Heavy Ruler at Nalan Yanran under the astonished gazes of everyone, and as predicted, the latter easily dodged it.

The heavy Profound Heavy Ruler was planted upside down on the Battle Stage.

Voluntarily abandoning weapons? Many people were puzzled, wondering if this meant they were going to give up entirely.

Xiao Yan's subsequent performance shocked everyone present. After losing the Profound Heavy Ruler, his speed increased even more, and he immediately overtook Nalan Yanran, striking her in the back with a palm strike.

Nalan Yanran groaned, her expression quite uncomfortable. Xiao Yan's fighting ability was completely unleashed the moment he lost the Profound Heavy Ruler.

Then, in full view of everyone, Xiao Yan, with his bare hands, actually managed to defeat Nalan Yanran, forcing her to retreat steadily.

"Why is that?" Hai Bo Dong asked in bewilderment. "After losing his Black Ruler weapon, this little guy's combat abilities have increased dramatically in every aspect. How strange!"

Before and after the battle, Xiao Yan gave Hai Bo Dong the feeling of a completely different person. If he was like a sheep being restrained at every turn in the previous battle, now he was like a tiger unleashed from its cage, invincible!

"Could Xiao Clan Leader please enlighten us?" Many powerful figures looked at Xiao Zhan, who was smiling, including Yun Yun.

"You all don't know this!" Xiao Zhan didn't hide anything, "The Black Ruler in Yan Er's hand has the effect of suppressing Dou Qi, so what he showed earlier was not his true combat strength."

"Suppressing Dou Qi?" Some people were quite shocked. This kid named Xiao Yan was no pushover either, as he had been using that kind of weapon to fight all along.

Some powerful figures in the distance cast gloating glances at Nalan Jie, who had already slumped in his seat.

"The Nalan Family truly has excellent judgment; they actually managed to push such a genius away. I am truly impressed!"

Nalan Jie's old rival Mu Chen, said in a sarcastic tone.

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Yan's ability to achieve this level of accomplishment within three years is enough to prove his talent.

Not to mention the Xiao Clan she represents. It can be said that if it weren't for Nalan Yanran's sudden annulment of the engagement, no one in the entire Jia Ma Empire would dare to provoke the Nalan Family.

But now...

It's over!

While everyone was talking, the battle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran entered its final stage.

"Those two little ones are about to unleash their full power!" Xiao Wu's tone rose slightly from afar, earning a roll of the eyes from Xian'er behind him.
