Three-Year Pact Side Quest

When the maid mentioned that an honored guest had arrived, Xiao Yang suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the day Nalan Yanran came to call.

Thinking of this, he hurried impatiently toward the reception hall.

This was an infamous scene. Xiao Yang was going over to witness it for himself.

Before long, he arrived at the reception hall.

The guards at the entrance did not stop Xiao Yang. Instead, they saluted him.

Xiao Yang nodded to the two of them before walking directly into the small courtyard where the reception hall stood.

The next moment, Xiao Yang paused.

Because a new notification had suddenly appeared on his panel.

He had a new quest!

Xiao Yang immediately devoted a sliver of his attention to opening the quest panel. With his Mid-stage Mortal Realm soul cultivation, multitasking was exceptionally easy.

A red notification dot had appeared on the quest panel.

There was a side quest prompt beneath the main quest.

[Three-Year Pact (0/3)]

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the quest, and he opened it.

[Three-Year Pact · Quest One: Witness Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement and Xiao Yan's divorce scene.

Reward: Universal Experience +100, Shop Points +1000, Tier-One Double Experience Card (one day) +1.]

Xiao Yang accepted the quest without the slightest hesitation.

Such an easy quest, and he could earn so much experience and so many points just by watching. There was even an Experience Doubling Card. This was an absolute steal!

After accepting the quest, Xiao Yang closed the quest panel and entered the reception hall.

Xiao Zhan and the three great elders of the Xiao Household sat on one side. On the other sat a middle-aged man and several young men and women.

Xiao Yang immediately knew that they were from the Misty Cloud Sect.

As for the girl seated beside the middle-aged man, she was presumably Nalan Yanran.

Unfortunately, the original Three-Year Pact quest should have involved divorcing his wife before completing the challenge three years later.

After all, the original player had played the role of Xiao Yan.

Now, it had simply become a matter of witnessing it.

He just wondered what the later quests would be.

When Xiao Yang arrived, Xiao Zhan and the others smiled and invited him to sit in a chair to the side.

Before long, Xiao Yan arrived as well.

The moment Xiao Yan arrived, the classic scene began to unfold.

Compared to watching people review the broken engagement scene online in his previous life, seeing it in person felt far more real.

Xiao Yang could not be bothered to judge who was right or wrong. He said nothing throughout the whole affair and merely watched quietly.

"...Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never mock a young man's poverty!"

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran and spoke coldly.

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up excitedly, and he slammed a palm onto the table.

"Good! What a line—never mock a young man's poverty!"

"My son, Xiao Zhan's son, is indeed extraordinary!"

Xiao Yang felt his blood stir as well.

Potato was Potato, after all. Only he could write a scene like this.

As Xiao Yan divorced his wife and set the Three-Year Pact, a quest completion notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

"Congratulations, player. You have completed Three-Year Pact · Quest One. Would you like to claim the reward?"

Xiao Yang did not claim it immediately. Instead, he quietly watched the scene before him.

Soon, after Xiao Yan left, Xiao Zhan directly asked the guests to leave.

As he watched the people from the Misty Cloud Sect depart, the three great elders left as well.

The fury on Xiao Zhan's face faded, replaced by a trace of helplessness. He looked at Xiao Yang and said,

"Yang'er, keep an eye on Yan'er for me these next few days."

"I don't know how badly this matter will affect him."

As soon as Xiao Zhan finished speaking, another notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

"NPC Xiao Zhan has issued the quest [Comfort Xiao Yan]. Would the player like to accept it?"

Xiao Yang agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, Uncle. I'll go check on Little Yan more often over the next few days."

At the same time, he devoted a bit of attention to accepting the quest.

[Comfort Xiao Yan: After the broken engagement incident, Xiao Zhan fears that Xiao Yan will suffer a severe blow and asks the player to comfort Xiao Yan.

Reward: Universal Experience +30, Shop Points +300.]

Seeing Xiao Yang agree, Xiao Zhan smiled again.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go discuss things with the family elders first and see how to resolve the impact of this matter."

With that, Xiao Zhan left the reception hall.

Once Xiao Zhan had left, Xiao Yang opened the Three-Year Pact quest panel.

[Three-Year Pact · Quest One (Completed, reward unclaimed): ...]

Xiao Yang immediately claimed the reward.

The next moment, another notification sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations, Host. You have received Universal Experience +100, Shop Points +1000, Tier-One Double Experience Card (one day) +1!"

A trace of delight flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes as he looked at the notification before him.

This was truly a bountiful harvest!

Just then, he saw a red dot appear beside the Three-Year Pact side quest. Xiao Yang opened it and found another quest.

[Three-Year Pact · Quest Two: Witness the battle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran in their Three-Year Pact.

Reward: Universal Experience +100000, Shop Points +100000, Tier-Three Double Experience Card +1 (seven days).]

The rewards were so generous!

Xiao Yang's face brightened as he looked at the quest rewards.

But he quickly realized that this seemed to be something that could only be completed three years later.

Still, Xiao Yang was confident that, three years from now, this little bit of experience and points would mean nothing to him.

He believed that if given three years, he could at least reach the Dou Ling realm, or perhaps even the Dou Wang realm!

However, there were only a few famous scenes in Battle Through the Heavens, and Xiao Yang still intended to watch them.

Besides, if he did not accept Quest Two, he would not be able to view Quest Three.

He guessed that Quest Three would be even more difficult.

Thus, Xiao Yang accepted Quest Two without hesitation.

After accepting the quest, Xiao Yang finally prepared to head toward the Battle Skill Hall.

As he walked, he examined the effect of the only item in his inventory.

[Tier-One Double Experience Card (one day): Can be used by Dou Zhe and below. Experience gained within one day is doubled after use (experience gained from pills and quests is excluded).]

Xiao Yang planned to use it once he reached the Battle Skill Hall.

This Experience Doubling Card could double the experience he gained from defeating or killing enemies, and it could also double the experience gained from refining medicine.

Naturally, the experience he gained through cultivation would be doubled as well.

A one-day Tier-One Double Experience Card sold for ten thousand points in the shop!

Xiao Yang had no intention of saving it. The faster he progressed now, the easier it would be for him to buy Multiplier Cards later.

After all, once he defeated an opponent, he could no longer gain experience from that person unless their cultivation broke through.

Not even killing them would work!

So, he planned to find plenty of Xiao Household members to spar with today!

Xiao Yang had not gone far from the reception room when he saw a graceful figure walking toward him in the distance.

It was Xun'er!

She came to Xiao Yang's side and said with a smile,

"Brother Xiao Yang, are you free tomorrow?"

"Could you accompany me to stroll around the marketplace?"

"We haven't gone out and had fun together in a long time."

As soon as Xun'er finished speaking, another quest notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.
