Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Nalan Yanran thought to herself inexplicably.

So this is what it feels like to love someone you can't have.

Xiao Yan, you appeared in a way that fascinates me.

And just when I was filled with admiration for you, you completely crushed me with your true identity.

Is this your revenge?

That's really ruthless.

A tear slid down Nalan Yanran's cheek.

The flames instantly evaporated it.

"Yanran!"

"Yanran!"

In the stands, many people stood up, watching in horror as the girl was about to be engulfed in flames in mid-air.

Nalan Jie struggled to his feet, bracing himself against the chair. He wanted to save his granddaughter, but in his current state, he couldn't possibly make it in time.

Just at the critical moment.

Xiao Yan unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings and took a sudden step.

Nalan Yanran opened her eyes and found herself being held in Xiao Yan's hands.

Fortunately, the speed of the ruler was slowed down considerably by the influence of the setting sun; otherwise, Xiao Yan would not have been able to catch up.

Even if he can't make it in time, the powerful figures present will still step in.

Xiao Yan released his grip and threw Nalan Yanran down.

"What, you really don't want to lose to me? Even if it means courting death."

Nalan Yanran suddenly felt a wave of fear wash over her.

What happened to me just now?

Why did such a crazy idea come to mind?

Did I just ignore all the advice my teacher gave me yesterday?

"sorry."

Nalan Yanran murmured to herself.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nalan Yanran's will to die came and went quickly.

He didn't want this three-year agreement to become too bloody.

"Alright, stop looking so gloomy. I'm not interested in you at all."

Xiao Yan reached out and sucked the marriage contract from Nalan Yanran's arms into his palm.

"As you know, such promises on paper have never been very convincing."

The Fallen Heart Flame began to burn this ancient pact.

Under the scorching heat of the strange fire, the contract quickly turned to ashes and scattered in the air.

"You and I are both free."

----------

In the stands, Han Feng and Yao Chen smiled gently.

The three-year agreement was a very important milestone for Xiao Yan.

For them, it was also an opportunity to get to know each other more deeply.

"Junior brother's performance today was very good."

Han Feng smiled.

Yao Chen nodded.

Indeed, today's Xiao Yan has shown him growth and progress in various aspects.

Xiao Zhan stroked his beard with satisfaction as he watched the two below reconcile.

This time, I really made a name for myself!

Not only did he defeat Nalan Yanran, but he also saved her when she was in danger.

This magnanimity and broad-mindedness is what truly makes Xiao Zhan proud.

If it were just a simple defeat, the feeling might not be nearly as intense as it is now.

However, just as the Xiao family members were getting excited, an untimely voice rang out.

"Xiao Yan, I challenge you!"

Liu Ling stepped forward, a glint of black light flashing in her eyes.

Seeing his beloved woman injured made him feel increasingly unbalanced.

How dare someone who was a loser back then surpass me now!

Upon learning that Xiao Yan was actually Yan Xiao, this sense of imbalance reached its peak.

Yun Yun said unhappily, "Liu Ling, now is not the time for you to issue a challenge."

Elder Yunling suggested, "With such a grand occasion today and so many guests, another match would be appropriate, wouldn't it?"

Liu Ling's talent is not as strong as Nalan Yanran's, but she is a few years older than her, so her strength is also that of a Great Dou Master.

Facing Xiao Yan, who has already experienced a battle, he might have a chance of winning.

Yun Yun frowned and looked at Yun Leng. This elder was actually openly contradicting her.

It's one thing on ordinary days, but to act so recklessly today!

Xiao Yan glanced at Yun Leng, then turned and walked outside.

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Chapter 222 Trial

Yun Leng's face twitched slightly.

How dare a mere brat from the Xiao family show me such disrespect!

Isn't it better to just listen obediently?

"Three years ago, Xiao Yan was just a useless person who couldn't store Dou Qi. How come he has such cultivation now and can even summon Dou Qi wings? Are you really Xiao Yan?"

Yun Leng's voice spread with his battle aura, reaching the entire arena.

Yun Yun stood up abruptly and snapped, "Enough!"

Faced with the sect leader's imposing presence, Yun Leng bowed slightly.

"Sect Master, don't you find this matter suspicious?"

If this person's identity is fake, then it naturally means that the young master of the Xiao family is a good-for-nothing who dares not challenge him.

If this person's identity is genuine, then the secret that allowed him to soar to such a level of cultivation in three years must be extremely valuable.

Regardless, the Yunlan Sect will benefit as long as they capture him.

Of course, Yunling's thinking was based on the premise that Yunlan Sect was an enormous behemoth to the Xiao family.

Even if the royal family were to increase their support, the Alchemist Guild would not fall out with the Yunlan Sect for the sake of Xiao Yan, who has not yet grown up.

Yun Yun looked at Yun Leng, who was becoming increasingly autocratic, and a stern glint flashed in her eyes.

The sect leader of Yunlan Sect doesn't have many duties on a daily basis, so many things in the sect are actually reviewed by Yun Leng and then handed over to Yun Yun for inspection.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was second only to the emperor and above all others.

"Sect Master, the reputation of Yunlan Sect must not be tarnished."

Yunling said in a low voice.

"Whether Xiao Yan is real or not, keeping him in the Yunlan Sect will be very beneficial."

"benefit?"

Yun Yun trembled with anger, but she knew this was not the time to fight with Yun Ling, so she directly announced loudly: "I declare that Xiao Yan of the Xiao family has won the three-year agreement today."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Yunlan Sect sighed.

This Xiao Yan is truly unbelievable.

Before the competition began, everyone thought Xiao Yan was a toad and not worthy of Senior Sister Nalan at all.

But now, the results have proven everything.

If Xiao Yan is a toad, then what are those who are inferior to Senior Sister Nalan?

It should be noted that Xiao Yan's age is similar to Nalan Yanran's, and if he only recovered his Dou Qi three years ago, the time he could use for cultivation would be even shorter.

Such talent is beyond the reach of the Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

However, just as he was about to leave, a voice reached his ears.

"Junior brother, go fight that Liu Ling. There's something strange about him."

"Senior brother?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then stopped in his tracks.

As he stopped walking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was the focus of the entire audience.

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Liu Ling on the high platform.

"You were the one who wanted to challenge me, weren't you?"

Liu Ling nodded emphatically.

"Let's go then. I suddenly remembered that I'm quite free today."

Xiao Yan stretched his muscles and said casually.

A moment of silence fell over the crowd, followed by a loud roar.

"Go, Senior Brother Liu Ling!"

"Come again!"

"defeat him!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Liu Ling jumped off the platform and entered the fighting arena.

Seeing his disciple's eagerness, Guhe sighed slightly.

This kid still hasn't given up on Nalan Yanran.

From an alchemist's perspective, the technique Xiao Yan had previously mastered, which allowed him to exquisitely control his soul power, was enough to demonstrate his formidable strength.

Even if it's a contest of alchemical fire techniques, how can it possibly contend with a different kind of fire?

Guhe did not approve of his apprentice's reckless behavior.

But they are young after all, so it's okay for them to be reckless for a while.

It's good to let him suffer a bit.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had agreed, Yun Yun shook her head helplessly.

"Alright then, but you all need to be mindful of your behavior."

Liu Ling unfolded her long fan, a barely perceptible hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"This kid has been controlled by the Soul Palace."

"That's what Yao Chen said."
