"I appreciate the kind offer, but I plan to go to Jia Nan Academy."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran nodded in understanding.
For a Genius like Xiao Yan, who doesn't join any Sect or force, Jia Nan Academy is indeed a good destination.
It is in Jia Nan Academy that his talent and potential can be better unearthed.
This topic came to an end, and the two fell back into that somewhat awkward situation.
Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment, gritted her silver teeth, and said with a slightly red face, "Xiao Yan, that engagement..."
By the end, her voice was almost inaudible.
Seeing Nalan Yanran in this state, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a light chuckle and teased, "What, are you in such a hurry to marry me?"
"You!" Nalan Yanran glared at Xiao Yan indignantly, "Rogue!"
The allure she revealed in that instant made the surrounding crowd momentarily stunned.
However, as Nalan Yanran's gaze, carrying a faint Killing Intent, swept over them, everyone quickly dispersed.
Xiao Yan just shrugged and smiled faintly, "Nalan Yanran, you agreed to the Three-Year Agreement back then, you wouldn't possibly break your promise, right?"
"There are still about two years left until that original agreement. It's not too late to bring up our engagement then."
"If you are unwilling, I will certainly not force you. The engagement can be peacefully dissolved then, and it won't have any effect on you."
On the Fighting Qi Continent, being broken up with by the man is a great humiliation, and a woman being cast out by her husband is not good for her reputation either.
Even though Nalan Yanran was the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, while people dared not say anything openly, they couldn't stop gossiping behind closed doors.
"Who wants you to give up!" Nalan Yanran's cheeks flushed slightly as she said with shame and anger, "Will this Young Miss be unwanted?!"
"Xiao Yan, I'm telling you, it won't be you, Xiao Yan, divorcing your wife then; it will be me, Nalan Yanran, breaking the engagement!"
Xiao Yan could only smile and reply, "Yes, yes, yes, you will be the one to break the engagement."
"You are mocking me!"
"No, I am being sincere."
"..."
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan's smug expression and really wanted to hit him, but she worried that one slap might kill him.
However, the stuffy atmosphere between them had eased considerably.
"Xiao Yan, in two years, on Yun Lan Mountain, I'm going to beat you up," Nalan Yanran said with a tooth-gritting smile, "I hope you can still smile then."
"Heh, Nalan Yanran, I wonder if you've heard a saying: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man for being poor..."
— — —
Nalan Su and Xiao Zhan were drinking and chatting, while the older generation powerhouses like Nalan Jie were secretly paying attention to Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue.
When Nalan Jie saw Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran "flirting," he couldn't help but smile and sigh, "The children have such good feelings for each other."
But when he saw Xiao Xue, he frowned slightly, "Why hasn't Su'er given this old man a grandson? Otherwise..."
Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Xue, who was graceful among the crowd, and sighed, shaking his head.
Forget it, even if Su'er had a son, he might not be worthy of her.
As for the others, they were thinking about how to befriend the Xiao Family and establish a connection with them.
