Xiao Ding asked in a low voice, "By the way, Father mentioned the broken engagement in his letter over two years ago. What happened with that?"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li both looked at Xiao Yan. By the time Nalan Yan had come to break off the engagement, they had already left to establish the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, so they had only heard a rough account from the elders.
They still did not know exactly what had happened.
Xiao Yan shrugged. "Nothing much. He wasn't interested in me, and I wasn't interested in him. We both ran toward the same goal."
That "ran toward the same goal" amused both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Xiao Li could not help laughing as he cursed:
"Good riddance! Was Nalan Yan blind? How many people in the entire Jia Ma Empire could match my little sister? And he actually looked down on you?"
Xiao Yan shook her head with a smile. "Well, Xun'er is at least as good as me, though she definitely wouldn't be interested in him either."
She had certainly not forgotten how Nalan Yan had kept staring at Xun'er in the corner when he came to break off their engagement-a man who ogled his fiancée's best friend deserved to get axed!
Whether Nalan Yan had simply been admiring beauty or had fallen for Xun'er at first sight, one thing was certain: Xun'er would never be interested in him.
"Xun'er? Oh, that little girl. Is she that talented too?" Xiao Ding sounded somewhat surprised.
But after considering Xun'er's unfathomable background-Xiao Ding and Xiao Li only knew she had powerful backing, not exactly how powerful-and looking at Xiao Yan, who had become a Da Dou Shi in two years thanks to her unlimited supply of pills, they found it perfectly normal.
