Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Xiao Yan blinked, then looked Nalan Yanran over a few more times, and asked, "How about we change the marriage partner to you, and pretend that Nalan Yanran's visit to annul the engagement never happened?"

Zhang Yuan: ?

Nalan Yanran's inner thoughts: +ω+

It's not impossible, Xiao Yan is a nice guy.

Xun'er: "."

My Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame wants to burn something.

Chapter 4 A Different Three-Year Agreement

Having lived two lives, Xiao Yan possesses the experience of an adult and the observational abilities provided by his powerful soul.

He could tell that Nalan Yanran and Zhang Yuan had known each other for a long time, and that Nalan Yanran clearly had feelings for her cousin.

If the marriage were transferred to Zhang Yuan and Nalan Yanran, the Xiao and Nalan families could save face instead of becoming enemies, not to mention that Nalan Yanran has the Yunlan Sect and a Douhuang master behind her.

With Zhang Yuan's talent, he is more than a match for Nalan Yanran, and the Yunlan Sect and the Nalan family certainly have no objections.

Everyone was overjoyed, except for him, a useless man who had lost all his talent and lost all face.

But in the past three years, the Xiao family and Zhang Yuan have spent a lot of resources on this good-for-nothing without ever having any objections. What is a little sacrifice he makes now?

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Yuan handed Xiao Yan a roasted chestnut.

If he dares to agree now, not only will it be difficult to win over that queenly wife and virtuous assistant, but it will also be hard to explain that poisonous woman. Xun'er will probably be the first to go berserk.

He accidentally won over this top-tier rich and beautiful girl in the Dou Qi Continent when they were kids, so there's no reason for him to give up, right?

“How can a marriage agreement between prominent families be treated lightly?” Zhang Yuan said sternly, finding a plausible reason: “Nalan Yanran’s arrival was so grand that this matter could not be kept secret.”

"I think it's like this: you still have three years until you turn eighteen. At that time, you can have a fight at the Nalan family in the capital."

"If Nalan Yanran wins, the marriage will naturally be dissolved, but she will still have to compensate the Xiao family for her reckless actions today."

“If you win, Brother Yan, it will wash away today’s humiliation. Nalan Yanran will compensate the Xiao family double.”

What do you guys think?

Fearing that Xiao Yan might say something that would cause him a nightmare, he had no choice but to overstep his bounds and do the talking.

"Wait a moment!"

Before Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran could speak, Ge Ye spoke first, saying, "Young friend, Miss Yanran is ultimately a disciple of my Yunlan Sect, therefore..."

"So what?" Before Ge Ye could speak, Zhang Yuan interrupted him directly: "The Jia Ma Empire does not belong to the Yun family. No matter how powerful your Yunlan Sect is, it is just an affiliated sect within the empire."

"Although the Xiao family has declined, it was once a Dou Wang family. When it married into the Nalan family, the Yunlan Sect was not involved. Now you have no right to interfere in the affairs between the two families. We are not trying to take Nalan Yanran's life."

Zhang Yuan had long been trying to resolve the conflict between the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family to prevent it from becoming a deadly feud and causing losses to his side.

The Soul Hall behind the Yunlan Sect is easy to deal with. As long as Yunshan finds out that he has been used, he will immediately turn against them.

Of course, just in case, he needed to get some help, which is why he joined the military of the Gama Empire.

At least for now, the royal family is still the master of this empire.

“Agreed.” Ge Ye wanted to say something, but Nalan Yanran interrupted him, saying, “Alright, I agree to this. I was indeed reckless today. Brother Zhang’s suggestion is perfectly fine. This matter is indeed unrelated to Yunlan Sect. We will have the duel at the Nalan family’s house. I will compensate you regardless of who wins or loses.”

Since the parties involved have said so, Ge Ye can't really say anything.

Given his power and status, he has no right to say anything.

"Wait, I have a problem with this." Xiao Yan raised his hand and said speechlessly, "Cousin, I think you're trying to harm me. Given my current situation, how am I supposed to beat her in three years?"

Because of Zhang Yuan's involvement, the situation on the scene changed a lot, and Xiao Yan was not so angry that he shouted, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Knowing his own situation, he naturally wouldn't make a rash promise.

"If you dare talk to me like that, I'll beat you up like I did when we were kids," Zhang Yuan said irritably.

Emperor Yan, Brother Yan, you must train them from a young age so they won't rebel against Heaven later.

“I was clearly telling the truth,” Xiao Yan argued.

"Do you think I would have issued this challenge if I wasn't confident I could cure your inability to cultivate?" Zhang Yuan countered.

Click!

Xiao Zhan crushed the armrest of the chair, unable to hide his excitement as he asked, "Yuan'er, you, you can cure Yan'er?"

Several elders and younger members of the Xiao family looked at Zhang Yuan with hopeful eyes, while Xiao Yan himself trembled with excitement.

"I was only 30% sure before I came back, but now I'm 90% sure," Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "I came back specifically for this matter, but I didn't expect to get involved in such a lively affair."

“Alright, I accept the three-year agreement.” Xiao Yan said, then grabbed Zhang Yuan’s wrist: “Cousin, let’s go.”

As a transmigrator from Earth with the opportunity to possess great power, he yearns for cultivation more than most people.

He had long been fed up with his life of being a useless person.

“Alright.” Zhang Yuan knew how hard Xiao Yan was enduring it, so he didn’t refuse. Instead, he said to Xiao Zhan, “Uncle, I’ll leave this to you.”

"You all go ahead, I'll take care of things here." Xiao Zhan nodded immediately.

Zhang Yuan turned and exchanged a glance with Xun'er, nodded in acknowledgment, and then left with Xiao Yan.

"Gentlemen, our Xiao family's place is small, so we won't keep you for a simple meal."

After Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yan left, Xiao Zhan immediately ordered the Yunlan Sect group to leave.

They've really gone too far; he doesn't even bother to pretend to be polite anymore.

Just as Zhang Yuan said, normal people would first try to be polite before resorting to force, but the Yunlan Sect would resort to force first and then try to be polite, which shows their arrogance.

This Gama Empire doesn't belong to the Yun family.

“Uncle Xiao, I apologize for what happened today. I will visit you again in three years with a gift.” Nalan Yanran said to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan wanted to say something harsh, but what Xiao Yan could see, naturally couldn't be hidden from his eyes either.

When he thought of Zhang Yuan, he simply closed his eyes, choosing to ignore him.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Yanran bowed again, then called Ge Ye and the others, and walked briskly toward the door.

She did act rashly today because of her youth, but at least she achieved her goal and saw the person she had been thinking about for half a year.

Three years later, when she regains her freedom, she can pursue the life she wants.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was gossiping with Zhang Yuan, asking, "Cousin, what's your relationship with that Nalan Yanran?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "After leaving the Xiao family two years ago, my eldest and second brothers went to Shimo City to establish a mercenary group, thinking that if you were never able to recover your talent, they could at least build a foundation for you."

"After gaining experience in various places, I chose to join the Imperial Army because it is the best place to train people. Moreover, as long as you acquire enough military merits, you can exchange them for cultivation techniques, elixirs, and everything else you want."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately thought of the second-grade alchemist who had come to check on his physical condition half a year ago, and felt a surge of emotion.

He was a visitor to Earth who was reborn with his memories intact, and at first he approached this world with a sense of scrutiny and wariness.

But his father Xiao Zhan, his older brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and his cousin Zhang Yuan warmed him with family love, and he began to accept the world.

Especially after he became a cripple, the four treated him even better, which warmed his heart and made him determined to repay them in every way he could.

He could only dream about it before, but if his talent could be restored, he would definitely become the strongest step by step, and then lead his family to heaven!

Zhang Yuan, unaware of Xiao Yan's thoughts, continued, "Half a year ago, Qing Shi Town, near the Monster Mountain Range, was hit by a beast tide. I was ordered to lead people to clear out the tributaries, and during that time I also assisted several Yunlan Sect disciples who came out for training."

"The leader of this group of disciples is called Yun Yan. She is the weakest among them, but she is the leader. Later, she served under me for a period of time. That Yun Yan is Nalan Yanran."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan winked and said, "A hero saving a damsel in distress, did anything happen between you two?"

"No." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

At the time, he was busy becoming stronger and had no time to think about picking up girls.

Whether Nalan Yanran had any particular thoughts was none of his business.

“Cousin, you’re a bit clueless. In my opinion, Nalan Yanran is probably interested in you. Look how nervous she was just now.” Xiao Yan laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on her in three years and won’t let Nalan Yanran lose too badly.”

Zhang Yuan: "."

As expected of you, you're such a show-off. You haven't even recovered your talent yet, and you're already putting on airs with me.

“Then why don’t I help you with your health issues in three years? That way you won’t have to worry about Nalan Yanran,” Zhang Yuan said sarcastically.

"Cousin~" Xiao Yan said in a deliberately affected tone.

Zhang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that he should carry a recording stone with him from now on to record all the dark history of the future Yan Emperor.

"Stop being disgusting, close the door, and start solving your problem," Zhang Yuan said.

He and Xiao Yan had arrived at a secret room, a training room built by the Xiao family, which Zhang Yuan was naturally qualified to use.

"Understood." Xiao Yan's expression turned serious as he closed the door to the secret chamber.

He then sat down opposite Zhang Yuan, waiting for the other party's move.

Zhang Yuan didn't do anything, but instead said, "Throw away the ring your aunt left you."

Xiao Yan was taken aback, but trusting Zhang Yuan, he immediately did as he was told and threw the ring far away.

Zhang Yuan stood in front of Xiao Yan and said to the ring, "You cowardly fellow, you've been absorbing your cousin's fighting spirit for three years, aren't you coming out now?"

Xiao Yan hid behind Zhang Yuan, his eyes warily fixed on the ancient ring.

"interesting."

The ancient ring slowly floated into the air, and a transparent, elderly figure with a smile appeared within it.

Xiao Yan's pupils shrank, and he cursed, "Holy crap, is this some kind of ghost story? I actually raised a ghost, and not a beautiful female ghost, but an old one. I'm no longer clean."

Zhang Yuan: "."

Yaochen: "."

Chapter 5 tells Xiao Yan that it was just a fluke.

"Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio? What is that?" Zhang Yuan asked knowingly.

“I am also very interested.” Yao Chen stroked his illusory beard, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

On this Dou Qi Continent, if there is any organization related to souls, it is his mortal enemy, the Soul Hall.
