'If this iconic scene could be recorded with some high-definition camera, and then sold to Xiao Yan after he enters the Dominator Rank for a few tens of thousands of Dominator Rank Medicinal Pills, that wouldn't be excessive, right?' Chen Yang shook his head inwardly, looking regretful.
Behind him, Ya Fei looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled Face.
"Clan Leader Xiao, I know this request is somewhat difficult, but please, for the sake of the Sect Master, dissolve the engagement..." As Ge Ye laid his cards on the table, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
Then, Clan Leader Xiao stood up and smashed the table with one palm. A phantom lion head appeared on his Face, and his cultivation as a Six-Star Great Dou Shi was fully revealed.
"Six-Star???"
"When did the Clan Chief have a Breakthrough?"
The three Elders were just about to mock Clan Leader Xiao, but they were shocked by his strength as a Six-Star Great Dou Shi.
If Clan Leader Xiao were only a Five-Star Great Dou Shi, he would still need to be wary of the three of them joining forces.
But at this moment, Clan Leader Xiao was already a Six-Star Great Dou Shi...
And no one knew if Clan Leader Xiao would continue to Breakthrough.
'When did this guy Breakthrough? Didn't the intelligence say he was a Five-Star Great Dou Shi?' Ge Ye blocked Nalan Yanran, looking at Clan Leader Xiao with furrowed brows.
The two of them were only separated by one star, and his Cultivation Technique was a Rank lower than Clan Leader Xiao's. If they really fought, he might not necessarily come out on top.
"Uncle Xiao!" Seeing that the scene was about to spiral out of control, Nalan Yanran hurriedly shouted.
Clan Leader Xiao looked coldly at Nalan Yanran for two and a half seconds, but finally, he helplessly withdrew his Dou Qi and slumped back into his chair.
"Niece Nalan, such great courage. Nalan Su having a daughter like you is truly enviable!" Clan Leader Xiao shook his head bitterly, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse.
Seeing that the tense situation had temporarily eased, Ge Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. He licked his lips, took out a portion of Qi Gathering Powder from his storage ring, and said it was as compensation.
Looking at the Cloud Mist Sect Elder who brought out a fourth-grade pill as soon as he acted, Clan Leader Xiao sighed helplessly.
Others brought out a Medicinal Pill worth nearly two hundred thousand, while he had to skimp and embezzle Family assets just to buy two third-grade pills...
Strength, ah. If he were a Dou Wang expert, even if Yaner had such a problem, if she, Yun Yun, wanted to annul the engagement, she would have to consider it carefully.
Now...
"Whoosh!"
Beside Chen Yang, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up with a swish. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Yang's voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "Kid, don't act on impulse. I can solve your problem. What you need to do now is to squeeze the remaining value of this engagement to the maximum."
Looking at the ferocious expression on Xiao Yan's Face, Chen Yang took a sip of tea and continued to transmit his voice calmly: "Face is something that is never given by others, but earned by oneself. Right now, you have no strength, no talent, and no background. Even if you berated her, people would just think you're a clown!"
Watching Xiao Yan's constantly changing expression, Chen Yang put down his teacup: "You are not a child anymore; you should know what the optimal solution is. The mockery of others today is just an insignificant part of your journey of growth!"
Listening to Chen Yang's words, Xiao Yan's expression gradually calmed down: "Years from now, when you become a Dou Wang, Dou Zun, or even a Dou Di, those who mocked you will only exclaim, 'As expected of Xiao Yan.' At that time, your father will only be proud of you!"
"Huu..."
After hearing Chen Yang's last sentence, Xiao Yan let out a long breath and turned to nod slightly at Chen Yang.
The military Genius Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between legs, and King Goujian of Yue could sleep on brushwood and taste gall. Why should I, Xiao Yan, act on impulse just for momentary satisfaction and that so-called Face?
"Xiao Yan, why are you standing up? There is nothing here..."
"Hmm???"
Second Elder Xiao Ying was reprimanding Xiao Yan, but Chen Yang glared directly back at him.
Xiao Ying instantly felt his breath hitch. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he shrank back.
"Father, can I make the decision on this matter?" Xiao Yan stepped forward a few paces and said to Clan Leader Xiao while cupping his hands.
"Of course, this is your own marriage, Yaner!" Clan Leader Xiao nodded.
"Thank you, Father!" Xiao Yan bowed again, then turned to look at Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran.
"Elder Ge Ye, Miss Nalan!"
"I can agree to this matter of annulling the engagement!"
As soon as Xiao Yan said this, a look of surprise and deep guilt suddenly appeared on Clan Leader Xiao's Face. He knew that his son must have struggled for a long time before making such a decision.
"Thank you. As compensation, I will give you three more Qi Gathering Powders. If you are willing, I can also introduce you to the Cloud Mist Sect to learn profound Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques!" Nalan Yanran did not expect Xiao Yan to agree so readily. A look of joy appeared on her small Face as she smiled and said to Xiao Yan.
However, in the Face of Nalan Yanran's so-called compensation, Xiao Yan shook his head: "Not enough!"
"Not enough???" The slight good impression Nalan Yanran had of Xiao Yan vanished instantly. So, this guy was also a greedy person.
"That's right. I think, Miss Nalan, Old Master Nalan should be unaware of this matter of annulling the engagement, right?" Xiao Yan nodded, looked at Nalan Yanran, and said again.
"Marriage is a major life event, I decide it entirely on my own. What does it have to do with my grandfather?" Nalan Yanran shouted stubbornly.
"Heh..." Xiao Yan sneered, "The engagement between the two of us was decided by my grandfather and Old Master Nalan. I think, the promise of a Dou Wang expert—is four Qi Gathering Powders and those so-called profound Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques enough?"
"You..." Xiao Yan's words left Nalan Yanran speechless. Finding that she could not out-argue Xiao Yan, her Young Miss temper flared up instantly, "Fine, you tell me, what compensation do you want!!!???"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. He looked at Clan Leader Xiao, resisted the urge to turn back and look at Chen Yang, and said: "Five million gold coins, one Fire Attribute Profound Tier High-Rank Cultivation Technique, one Profound Tier Advanced Dou Technique or three Profound Tier Intermediate Dou Techniques, one hundred third-grade pills for cultivation, and ten fourth-grade pills!"
Xiao Yan's exorbitant demand left everyone present dumbfounded.
Even Chen Yang and Xun'er revealed smiles.
"You... you..."
"Impossible!!!"
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and shouted loudly...
