NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3.2: Aren't We Here To Break Off Your Engagement?
Xiao Zhan and the three elders felt a chill in their hearts, and their eyes also showed a hint of anger, mixed with a deep sense of powerlessness.
This was the current state of the Xiao Clan, when facing such a behemoth like the Yun Lan Sect, even if they were insulted and pressed down on the ground, they could only bear it.
Might makes right, and that’s how cruel this continent is.
No matter how angry he was in his heart, he still had to do his job.
“Hehe… Our Xiao Clan is weak and powerless, but if there is anything we can do to help, Elder Ge Ye can just ask.”
Xiao Zhan bowed to Ge Ye and Ge Ye spoke up.
“As you may have heard, Yanran has already become the personal disciple of our Yun Lan Sect’s Sect Master. She will inevitably take over the entire Yun Lan Sect in the future. However, we recently discovered that Yanran hasn’t been focusing on her cultivation, and after inquiring about it, we found out that she is troubled by the engagement arranged by her grandfather.”
“So what?”
Xiao Zhan suppressed his anger, feigning ignorance and absentmindedly clenching his fist on the armrest.
Ge Ye naturally saw through Xiao Zhan’s thoughts and, feeling a headache coming on, reluctantly spoke up under the urging gaze of Nalan Yanran.
“So regarding Yanran’s engagement to the young master, we hope…”
Ge Ye hadn’t finished speaking when a boy’s voice suddenly came from outside the reception hall.
“Father, did you call for me?”
Xiao Yan stood at the door of the reception hall and looked at his father, Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan was about to speak when Nalan Yanran suddenly stood up from her seat, staring in shock at Xiao Yan.
“You- You’re Xiao Yan?!”
“Who are you?”
Xiao Yan looked at the familiar girl and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized and pointed his finger at her.
“Little Glutton!!!”
“Stop calling me that!!!”
Hearing Xiao Yan’s nickname for her, Nalan Yanran’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment and anger.
Everyone in the reception hall, both inside and outside, was stunned by this scene.
Looking at their reaction… Do these two young people know each other?
Just as everyone was wondering, the redness on Nalan Yanran’s face faded, and her expression became extremely serious. She turned to Xiao Zhan, bowed with her fists in her hands, and said firmly.
“Uncle! Yanran came here today with only one purpose!”
Upon hearing Nalan Yanran speak, Ge Ye immediately reacted and motioned to the servant to bring out the pre-prepared medicine as an apology, while also preparing to step in to save the situation at any time.
But what Nalan Yanran said next made him suddenly freeze in place.
“I hope to immediately marry into the Xiao Clan!”
???
For a moment, the entire reception hall fell silent, and Ge Ye’s face was full of question marks as he stared at Nalan Yanran in a daze.
Et to, Young mistress?
Didn’t we come here to cancel your engagement?
How did it become a marriage proposal instead???
