Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 206 Bringing Back a Sect Master, Xiao Zhan is Shocked!

"Sect Master..." Mo Li knelt down as well, finally having a backer.

Upon hearing the way the group addressed them, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were all taken aback. This person was actually the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Unexpectedly, simply going out to reason with the Yunlan Sect resulted in bringing back the Yunlan Sect Master. Xiao Zhan slowly rose in shock.

The three elders also stood up; they hadn't expected Qin Yueyao to be so powerful.

"Yanran." Seeing her somewhat haggard disciple, Yun Yun sighed. If it weren't for her momentary lapse in judgment, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Nalan Yanran took a few steps forward and asked in surprise, "Teacher, your strength..."

The teacher in front of me seemed no different from an ordinary person, unlike the powerful Dou Huang of the past.

"It's temporarily sealed," Qin Yueyao said calmly.

Yun Yun nodded slightly. The freezing energy within her body, like a fortified city, showed no signs of dissipating even now.

What? Nalan Yanran was horrified. Even though her teacher was inside the Yunlan Sect and could use the Cloud Smoke Covering the Sun Formation to help all the disciples and elders, he was still captured.

Elder Ge Ye and Mo Li's foreheads were immediately covered in beads of sweat. The entire sect had been mobilized, yet they still couldn't stop Xiao Yan and his mother. Things were getting more and more complicated.

Xiao Zhan looked at his wife in confusion: Weren't you going to the Yunlan Sect to seek justice? How come you brought the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect back with you!

Qin Yueyao smiled gently: Your son is far more capable than you.

Xiao Zhan was helpless. What did this have to do with him? Besides, even if that kid turned the world upside down, he was still Xiao Zhan's son.

Qin Yueyao looked at Nalan Yanran in front of her, her expression not very pleasant: "You don't need to think about the marriage anymore. The Xiao family will naturally explain things to the Nalan family in the future."

"Back then, the Xiao family patriarch entered into a marriage agreement with the Nalan family in the hope that the friendship between the two families would last forever. Unfortunately, times have changed and things have changed."

As Qin Yueyao recalled the past, she couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia) about the unpredictability of life.

The Xiao family has been passed down for thousands of years, but it was only in the last hundred years that a true genius, Grandpa Xiao Yan, emerged, giving the family the foundation for rapid development.

Unfortunately, he was out of luck and fought his enemy to the point of serious injury, but was saved by that miraculous pill.

However, since that day, he has lost much of his desire to lead the family's development and has been in seclusion to cultivate diligently, and has not emerged since.

Qin Yueyao dared not imagine how powerless Xiao Zhan and his son would have been if that mysterious expert had not gifted them advanced cultivation techniques and fighting skills, and if even Xiao Yan's grandfather had perished many years ago.

Qin Yueyao closed her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "The Xiao family never intended to break its promise. Even though you are mediocre, we have never looked down on you. But we never expected to be turned around and accused."

"To be honest, even making you my son's maid would be a stretch." Qin Yueyao waved her sleeve. "Until this matter is truly over, you'll temporarily work as a maid in the Xiao family."

Nalan Yanran felt quite bitter, not because she would become Xiao Yan's slave, but because she didn't understand...

Why is it that I can't feel happy at all, even though I've been working towards the goal I've been striving for since the beginning of my cultivation?

Xiao Yan understood his mother's meaning; once his grandfather emerged from seclusion and learned of the matter, he would naturally make a decision.

The events of that year began with him, an elder, and naturally, they must also end with him.

Nalan Yanran's public annulment of the engagement would be too lenient for her to leave.

Although Nalan Yanran was beautiful, Xiao Yan felt no regret at not being able to marry her.

When faced with the situation, his thoughts remained unchanged from years ago when he was persuaded by the old doctor.

Whether Nalan Yanran chooses to break off the engagement or to comply with it, the Xiao family has always upheld the principles of integrity and trustworthiness.

Xiao Yan said leisurely, "You want freedom and choose to annul the engagement, which is not wrong, but the way you chose it is wrong. If you come to the Xiao family in private and tell them this in a nice way, the Xiao family will not continue to force this engagement, which is not really dead in name only."

The two families have not had any contact for many years, so it is no exaggeration to say that the marriage agreement exists in name only.

Nalan Yanran gently bit her thin lips, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at Xiao Yan.

The person in front of her was like a curse, haunting her mind since childhood.

Unexpectedly, she, who had always been regarded as a favored daughter of heaven, seemed to be worthless in front of this fiancé.

Yun Yun sighed; she was also at fault in this matter.

If it weren't for the unavoidable situation between himself and Yao... Xiao Yan, and not wanting his disciple to follow in his footsteps and pursue his own happiness, he wouldn't have so easily decided to annul the engagement.

However, I didn't expect that things would turn out this way and make things worse.

Yun Yun lowered her eyes and looked at the two kneeling on the ground: "Ge Ye, Mo Li, you should go back to the sect. The old sect master has come out of seclusion, and the sect urgently needs help."

"Old Sect Master..." Ge Ye raised his head in shock. The old sect master had been in seclusion for many years. He never expected that he was still alive. He wondered if he had broken through the legendary realm.

However, even so, their sect leader was still captured and brought back to the Xiao family.

This shows how formidable Xiao Yan's mother was!

Mo Li, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, helped Ge Ye up and walked towards the door.

Seeing Mo Li's actions, Nalan Yanran was very disappointed. This senior brother who had always tried to please her was now too afraid to even look at her.

"Teacher, what about you?" Nalan Yanran asked, suppressing her inner turmoil.

Xiao Zhan was also somewhat confused. Although the Xiao family was not afraid of the Yunlan Sect, forcibly keeping the sect leader of a sect would only make enemies of the Yunlan Sect and would not make any sense.

Yun Yun lowered her head, her face slightly flushed. Given Xiao Yan's strength, what would happen three years from now was practically a foregone conclusion; that couldn't be changed. But…

Qin Yueyao smiled slightly and said something that left everyone speechless.

"Your disciple is ultimately inferior to your teacher. You are blind, but your master is discerning. Three years from now, after the Yunlan Sect sword competition ends, she will be a member of my Xiao family."

Xiao Zhan's eyes widened suddenly. His son hadn't married his disciple, but was going to marry her teacher, Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect?

The three elders gasped in surprise, never expecting that Xiao Yan, having just dissolved one engagement, would immediately acquire an even better one.

As the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun is undoubtedly a first-rate person, but her seniority is somewhat...

Xun'er's eyes stung with tears, and she stomped her little feet in frustration. She never expected that Xiao Yan's reunion with the Yunlan Sect Master would end like this.

When Xun'er saw the jade bracelet on her wrist, she felt a little more at ease. Because her bloodline had not yet fully awakened, she could not do anything too outrageous.

Compared to Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun is not bad either...
