The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

Even if Xiao Zhan has the thickest skin, he won't be able to continue serving as the head of the Xiao family.

Looking at Xiao Zhan's gloomy face, Ge Ye sighed helplessly and said, "I know this is a bit unreasonable, but I beg Clan Chief Xiao to consider the Sect Master's feelings and dissolve this engagement!"

"Click click click..."

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, and a faint blue battle aura emanated from his body, gradually covering his entire body and faintly condensing into a phantom lion head on his head.

This is the Xiao family's most advanced technique, the Mad Lion's Fury, which only the patriarch is qualified to cultivate. It is a mid-level Xuan-rank technique!

Seeing this, Ge Ye's expression also became serious. He stood in front of Nalan Sheng and Nalan Yanran to prevent Xiao Zhan from doing anything reckless in his anger.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Zhan would definitely not dare to harm Nalan Sheng and the others, otherwise, if something happened to them, the entire Xiao family would be buried with them.

But anger can cloud judgment. If Xiao Zhan really attacks Nalan Sheng and the others, even if they are only injured, Ge Ye, an outer sect elder, will have a hard time explaining himself when he returns to Yunlan Sect.

Therefore, the palm under the ge leaf sleeve was slightly bent, and the blue battle qi gathered in the palm, condensing into a small blue sword qi.

As the two slowly condensed their fighting spirit, an invisible pressure spread throughout the hall, causing the younger members of the Xiao family, whose cultivation had not yet broken through to the Dou Zhe level, to turn pale and feel a tightness in their chests.

"Hehe~"

Just as the three elders of the Xiao family were about to speak up and stop Xiao Zhan, a somewhat abrupt sneer suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Nalan Sheng, dressed in a long black robe, slowly put down his teacup and gave a mocking sneer: "Now I finally understand why the Xiao family has declined to this state. It turns out that they have a useless patriarch who can only rage incompetently."

"Nalan Sheng, I will not allow you to insult my father!"

Before Xiao Zhan could even get angry, Xiao Yan, who was sitting next to Xiao Xun'er, stood up with a furious expression.

It's no wonder Xiao Yan was so angry, because Xiao Zhan had indeed treated his son exceptionally well, and he would never allow anyone to humiliate Xiao Zhan in front of him.

[Ding! The host publicly insulted the father of the protagonist, earning 3 villain points!]

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Nalan Sheng's smile widened. He turned to Xiao Yan and asked, "Xiao Yan, do you think the Nalan family and Yunlan Sect would let the Xiao family off easily if Clan Chief Xiao really hurt me and Yanran?"

"The Xiao clan chief has been the clan chief for so many years, yet he couldn't even control his temper. He almost brought misfortune upon the entire Xiao clan for his own selfish desires. Doesn't that make him a useless piece of trash?"

"Nalan Sheng, you make it sound so easy!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and snorted coldly, "If it were you being publicly jilted today, I don't believe Patriarch Nalan would remain unmoved."

"Hahaha……"

Faced with Xiao Yan's questioning, Nalan Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he had heard some huge joke. Finally, he shook his head with a look of sudden realization and said, "It really is true that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole. How could a useless clan leader possibly give birth to a smart young master?"

Xiao Yan, if I were you, I wouldn't give them the chance to come and annul the engagement.

"Nalan Sheng, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yan frowned involuntarily when he heard Nalan Sheng say this.

"Gentlemen, what do you think is the most important thing in an engagement between two young people? Power? Wealth? Or feelings?"

Nalan Sheng did not answer Xiao Yan's question directly, but turned to look at the Xiao family members in the hall and said, "These things are not important. The most important thing is that the two sides are well-matched in terms of social status."

Back when Old Master Xiao was still alive, although your Xiao family was not as good as our Nalan family, you still had a Dou Wang expert in charge, so you could be considered a good match for our family.

Unfortunately, when Yanran and I were three years old, the patriarch of the Xiao family passed away unexpectedly, and your Xiao family didn't even have a Dou Ling expert. You had no choice but to move the entire clan from the capital to a remote city like Wutan City.

Actually, from that time on, Xiao Yan was no longer good enough for my sister.

"..."

Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, then he sneered and said, "Saint Nalan, what you say sounds quite high-sounding. Why didn't your Nalan family come to the Xiao family to annul the engagement back then? Wasn't it because you coveted my cultivation talent?"

"good!"

Nalan Sheng did not deny it. Instead, he nodded affirmatively and said, "Our Nalan family did not break off your engagement with Yanran because we value your talent in cultivation."

"After all, judging from the cultivation talent you displayed back then, you have a very high chance of becoming a Dou Huang powerhouse in the future. There's no reason for our Nalan family to give up on a future Dou Huang son-in-law."

"..."

Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he cupped his hands in a sarcastic gesture, saying, "I never expected you to be able to say such things without batting an eye. I have never seen such a shameless person before. I admire you, I admire you!"

"Hehe~"

Nalan Sheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Yan, it's not that I'm shameless, but that you're too naive."

What I just said is simply a normal practice for marriage alliances between large families.

The reason why large families would sacrifice the lifelong happiness of their members through marriage alliances is because such alliances are more beneficial to the future development of the family.

"But your Xiao family has fallen on hard times, and you, our marriage partner, have become a useless person. It is truly unreasonable for our Nalan family to sacrifice Yanran's lifelong happiness and form a marriage alliance with your Xiao family."

"Then why didn't you come to the Xiao family to annul the engagement three years ago?"

Seeing how realistic Nalan Sheng's words were, Xiao Yan's anger inexplicably lessened, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's very simple! On one hand, even our Nalan family isn't sure if your strange illness can be cured."

Nalan Sheng held up two fingers and said, "On the other hand, it's because our Nalan family hopes that your Xiao family will take the initiative to dissolve the engagement."

Normally, if one of the two large families that are planning to form a marriage alliance suddenly declines, they should take the initiative to abandon the marriage alliance. This is an unspoken rule among the various families.

For example, if you suddenly contracted a strange illness that caused your cultivation to regress three years ago, and Chief Xiao tried everything he could but failed to cure your illness, then he should take you to our Nalan family to dissolve the engagement.

Of course, our Nalan family will certainly not treat you unfairly. We can ask Danwang Guhe to examine your body and see if we can cure your strange illness.

If your strange illness can be cured, then both sides can continue their marriage alliance, and everyone will be happy.
