Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 92 Don't Underestimate a Young Girl's Poorness (Part 1)

The room fell silent. The old man and the young girl's faces stiffened for a moment, as if they hadn't yet grasped the meaning of the boy's words. Only after a brief pause did Nalan Jie's brow twitch.

"Crack." The precious white jade cup in his hand instantly turned into dust.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, are you serious?" Nalan Jie's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was brewing up heavy emotions. Even his voice had changed.

Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, looked somewhat lost and helpless.

She herself had considered changing the engagement, but she never expected that when the other party brought it up first, the immense sense of loss and humiliation she felt made her extremely upset.

This caused Nalan Yanran, who was always proud, to turn slightly pale.

"It's true." Xiao Yan sighed and said, "Grandpa, I have my reasons for doing this, and I hope you can understand."

Nalan Jie sneered, then suddenly closed his eyes, a look of disappointment on his face: "Does Brother Xiao Lin think so too?"

"My grandfather never intended to break off the engagement, but my clan ancestor arranged another marriage for me. My grandfather couldn't object to the clan ancestor's order."

Xiao Yan feigned helplessness.

Xiao Lin is actually a person who values ​​promises, but when Xiao Xuan gave the order, Xiao Xuan naturally had no intention of resisting.

In the Xiao clan, Xiao Xuan is heaven, he is a god!

Nalan Jie's disappointed expression softened slightly.

"I know that this request is rather impolite, so I brought some things as an apology. I hope you will accept them."

Xiao Yan took out two storage rings from his pocket, stood up, and handed them over.

"No need. Since that's the case, let's just call off the engagement."

Nalan Jie shook his head, but when his soul power swept across the storage ring, his face froze.

"Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill, Battle Spirit Pill, Imperial Supreme Pill"

"The pills and various rare and precious materials in this storage ring are enough for your Nalan family to cultivate four or five Dou Huang powerhouses or a dozen Dou Wangs."

"If managed well, it's entirely possible to cultivate a Dou Zong powerhouse," Xiao Yan said, pointing to one of the storage rings.

Nalan Jie fell silent. Nalan Yanran was initially bewildered when she heard the names of these pills, but then her eyes revealed shock.

Beside her, Consort Ya, who had been brought by Xiao Yan, also had a slight change in her pretty face after hearing the names of these pills.

As an auctioneer, she was well aware of the value of these elixirs.

Even the lowest grade three-patterned Azure Spirit Pill is worth nearly a million gold coins.

This is a fortune that could drive the Gamma Empire and even surrounding powers mad.

"In addition, the other storage ring contains a set of mid-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques and some sixth-grade pills. My grandfather instructed me to personally deliver them to you to repay the life-saving grace from back then."

Xiao Yan smiled.

"A mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique!" Ya Fei was already somewhat numb to the shock this young man had given her.

The power behind Xiao Yan is beyond the comprehension of the people of the Jia Ma Empire.

It's one thing to throw away Qi Gathering Powder like candy, but to treat even sixth-grade pills and earth-rank cultivation techniques with such disregard?

Nalan Jie remained even more silent. A single Earth-rank cultivation technique was enough to change the fate of an entire family.

His face turned pale and then red, and he regretted what he had just said. Fortunately, Xiao Yan pretended not to have heard him.

The strongest technique of the Yunlan Sect is only at the mid-level of the Earth Rank.

The compensation offered by Xiao Yan was enough to make the Nalan family a force of the same caliber as the Yunlan Sect within a hundred years.

"Alright, Yanran, are you willing to break off the engagement?" Nalan Jie sighed.

The grandson of this old friend gave so much.

These things could make the Nalan family rise to become a true behemoth. Compared to the rise and fall of the entire family, what do personal honor and disgrace matter?

Nalan Yanran bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her jade hands clenched tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with grievance and humiliation.

Although she knew the other party had done a decent job, she, who had always been proud, still found it hard to accept the fact.

To be jilted by someone coming to your door is such a disgrace.

However, what kind of power is behind this young man? Compared to it, even the Yunlan Sect, which he is so proud of, is probably just a small corner in the face of such strength.

Besides, he gave so much.

"I think Old Master Nalan seems to be poisoned. Elder Wu, could you please treat him?"

Xiao Yan was already confident of victory and gave the order.

"Yes, Young Master!" A spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred behind Xiao Yan, and Xiao Wu's figure appeared abruptly.

He nodded slightly to Xiao Yan, and a crimson fire-attribute battle qi shot out from his fingertips, then entered Nalan Jie's body.

Nalan Jie's face flushed red at first, then he spat out a mouthful of black blood. The black blood fell onto the floor, and the hard stone slabs hissed instantly.

"Grandpa!" Nalan Yanran exclaimed in surprise.

"It's alright." Nalan Jie waved his hand, stood up, and bowed to Xiao Wu with clasped hands.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

This scene further spurred Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei. The intractable disease that had baffled the entire Gamma Empire was actually cured by the other party with a casual burst of battle qi.

"Hehe, Grandpa Nalan, what do you think of this matter?" Xiao Yan spoke up again.

"Sigh." Nalan Jie sighed and said, "Since things have come to this, let's do as you wish."

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Nalan." Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a bow.

Then he turned to Nalan Yanran and asked, "Miss Nalan, if you have any complaints, please feel free to mention them. As long as it's within my capabilities, I can satisfy you."

"That's all." Nalan Yanran stared blankly at Xiao Yan, her beautiful face pale and weak.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always looked down on others. Almost no one in the younger generation of the Gamma Empire could suppress her. But today, she was defeated by a boy of similar age.

"In terms of talent and cultivation, the other party is already a Dou Huang powerhouse, while I have only just broken through to Dou Shi."

"In terms of status and background, the power behind the other party should be considered top-tier in the entire Dou Qi Continent. The Nalan family is probably just an ant in their eyes."

The sense of disparity that the young man in black had brought him today was something he would remember for a lifetime.

"In that case..."

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Wu, who nodded slightly.

The next moment, a colossal aura of battle qi, nearly a thousand feet tall, appeared in the capital of Gamma.

"The Gamma Empire and the Nalan family have been protected by my Xiao clan for a hundred years. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on the Nalan family will be killed without mercy!"

The sound was vast and mighty, like a world-destroying thunderclap, resounding throughout the entire capital and even further afield.
