In Dou Qi Continent, One Talent Trait Every Day

If Xiao Yan could truly resume cultivating, then it did not matter if a mere marriage contract was dissolved.

After all, compared to stubbornly clinging on, possessing real strength was far more important.

But—

"Hmph, I, Xiao Yan, do not need your charity! Since you are so determined to dissolve the marriage contract, then today, I will grant you your wish!"

With that, Xiao Yan strode to the desk and began writing furiously. In no time, he had produced a letter of divorce.

Then, he abruptly drew a dagger from beside him, sliced open his palm, and pressed a bloody handprint onto the letter.

"Now, it is not you who have come to break off the engagement—it is I, Xiao Yan, who am divorcing you! From this day forth, you, Nalan Yanran, and my Xiao Family will have no connection whatsoever!"

"Y-you... you dare divorce me?" Nalan Yanran's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

She had only come to break off the engagement. Who would have thought Xiao Yan would turn around and divorce her instead?

Xu Qi, standing nearby, was speechless as well.

He had been planning to coax Xiao Yan into agreeing to break off the engagement and, preferably, hand over Old Yao's ring in the process.

That way, even if Xiao Yan regained his cultivation talent, he would not become the Flame Emperor.

But now, this fellow had still written that letter of divorce.

Xu Qi gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Nalan Yanran, three years from now, I will personally ascend Misty Cloud Sect and fight you to the death, washing away today's humiliation!" Xiao Yan said angrily.

Although he was the one who had written the letter of divorce today,

outsiders would only think that Nalan Yanran had used her powerful backing to force Xiao Yan to break off the engagement.

Only by proving himself could he truly wash away this humiliation!

"Fine! Xiao Yan, three years from now, I will be waiting for you at Misty Cloud Sect!"

Nalan Yanran's pretty face had gone pale with anger. She turned and hurried out of the Xiao Family.

Ge Ye and the others quickly followed after her.

"Alas."

Xu Qi shook his head helplessly and rose to follow them.

"Hey, what is your name?" Xiao Yan suddenly called out to him.

"Hm?" Xu Qi turned back in confusion. "Xu Qi. What is it?"

"Xu Qi... I will remember you. One day, I will challenge you too!" Xiao Yan said coldly.

Xu Qi laughed.

Not only had this guy made a Three-Year Agreement with Nalan Yanran, but he also wanted to challenge him?

"You sure talk big. I'll be waiting."

If the Xiao Family had not secretly been protected by an Ancient Clan Dou Huang, Xu Qi would have considered getting rid of Xiao Yan right then and there to prevent future trouble.

The group left the Xiao Family in a rage, boarded a Flying Beast, and departed Xiao Wutan City.

Throughout the journey, Nalan Yanran was so furious that she could not utter a single word.

Ge Ye's expression was equally awkward, and he did not dare speak.

They had originally gone to break off an engagement, yet it had somehow turned into Nalan Yanran being divorced instead.

How were they supposed to explain this after returning...?

Xu Qi had nothing to say either.

Things had ultimately gone down a path beyond his expectations. The Three-Year Agreement had still come to pass.

Xiao Yan had even begun to hold a grudge against him. That was the most absurd part.

After returning to Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye went to report the situation to Yun Yun, while Xu Qi returned to the Dou Qi Pavilion.

Nalan Yanran's broken engagement was temporarily settled, and there was no need to worry about the Three-Year Agreement for the time being. It was time for Xu Qi to put his own plans on the agenda.

He had already converted most of the talents within Misty Cloud Sect. There were not many useful or high-grade talents left.

Staying here any longer would not benefit a breakthrough in his cultivation.

"It's time to leave and take a look around..."
