As Yun Yun watched Xiao Yan's bitter expression, a sharp pang gripped her heart. She was about to speak when his gaze suddenly turned toward her.
"Sect Master Yun Yun, I am Xiao Yan. I have come today to fulfill my Three-Year Agreement with Nalan Yanran."
Those words stopped everything Yun Yun had been about to say.
Yun Yun understood that, from this moment onward, the two of them could never return to the way things had been.
The Misty Cloud Sect stood between them like an irreconcilable barrier. Coupled with Yun Yun's relationship with Nalan Yanran, it had already sealed their fate.
Elsewhere, Su Tian hovered in midair, the wings behind him beating as he watched the scene with interest.
Beside Su Tian, Hai Bodong frowned deeply, seemingly uncertain how to read the situation.
"Rest assured. This battle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was always destined to reach a final conclusion."
Su Tian smiled faintly and glanced at Nalan Yanran, whose pretty face was filled with bewilderment, before speaking slowly.
At those words, Hai Bodong raised his brows and gave Su Tian a meaningful look.
"If there is nothing urgent, Sect Master Yun Yun, my battle with Nalan Yanran is not yet over..."
Xiao Yan drew a deep breath and suppressed all the tangled emotions in his heart. When he raised his head again, his eyes were calm.
Then, without looking at Yun Yun again, Xiao Yan fixed his gaze on Nalan Yanran.
"Today's battle must settle things between us."
"That is what I want as well."
Meeting Xiao Yan's gaze, Nalan Yanran showed no hint of retreat. Though she did not know what had happened between Yun Yun and Xiao Yan, her pride would never allow her to lose to him.
Bang!
A muffled impact rang out
