Chapter 3 Don't worry, I won't kill you.
If it were only a matter of a few hundred years, the Yunlan Sect's resources would be sufficient to withstand it.
however--
Thirty thousand years!
These three words struck Nalan Yanran like a thunderclap, sending a chill straight up from her toes to the top of her head.
What a terrifying concept this is!
It should be noted that even the entire Gama Empire does not have such a long history!
Just what level of existence is this Xiao family patriarch?
Perhaps we should call him an old monster with the secret to eternal youth?
Is this something the Nalan family can contend with?
Let alone the Nalan family... even the Gama royal family, which owns the entire empire, would probably not dare to act recklessly in the slightest!
Nalan Yanran felt her heart flutter and her thoughts were in complete disarray.
She could not imagine, or rather, could not comprehend, such a thing.
What level has Xiao Chen's cultivation reached now?
Having lived for 30,000 years, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a thing...
"Get up, everyone."
"I never imagined that the Xiao family would have fallen to such a state."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat ashamed.
Xiao Chen looked at Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran and saw that the two were very nervous in front of him, so he smiled slightly.
"So your name is Nalan Yanran, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
"Xiao Yan, just do whatever you wanted to do just now."
Finally, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, and then he recalled the humiliation he had just suffered.
He suddenly turned around, walked quickly to the table, and began to write furiously!
The ink falls, the brush stops!
Then, Xiao Yan suddenly drew the short sword from the table with his right hand, and the sharp blade slashed a bloody gash on his left palm.
Bloodstained hands left glaring bloodstains on the white paper!
Xiao Yan gently picked up the contract and let out a cold laugh.
As he passed by Nalan Yanran, he slammed her hand heavily onto the table.
"Don't think that I, Xiao Yan, care much about your so-called genius wife."
"This contract is not a contract to dissolve the engagement, but a certificate of divorce from the Xiao family!"
"From this day forward, you, Nalan Yanran, have absolutely no connection with my Xiao family!"
"You...you dare to divorce me?" Nalan Yanran stared wide-eyed at the blood-stained contract on the table, her voice filled with disbelief.
With her beauty, talent, and background, how could she be divorced by a good-for-nothing from a small family?
But at that moment, she suddenly felt a cold gaze and couldn't help but shiver.
It's that old patriarch of the Xiao family!
Xiao Yan ignored her and turned around, kneeling down in front of Xiao Zhan and kowtowing heavily.
He bit his lip tightly, stubbornly remaining silent...
Witnessing this scene firsthand, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He knew that although it was nominally Xiao Yan who expelled Nalan Yanran from the family, once the news got out, others wouldn't think that way. Those who didn't know the situation would only think that Nalan Yanran had used her powerful background to force the Xiao family to break off the engagement.
After all, with Nalan Yanran's talent, beauty, and background, she was more than a match for Xiao family's good-for-nothing young master.
No one would believe that Xiao Yan would have the courage to divorce a future leader of the Yunlan Sect!
As a result, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan's father, would certainly be subjected to countless taunts.
Looking at Xiao Yan kneeling, Xiao Zhan, understanding the guilt in his heart, smiled calmly and said with a smile, "Now that my Xiao family patriarch has returned, my son will certainly not be a good-for-nothing for life. Mere rumors will naturally crumble in the face of reality in the future."
"Father, three years from now, Yan'er will go to Yunlan Sect to personally avenge you for today's humiliation!" With tears welling in his eyes, Xiao Yan kowtowed heavily.
As for Xiao Chen, he is still a stranger to Xiao Yan at the moment.
"Very good!" Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"Gentlemen, now that you have achieved your goal, please leave."
Upon hearing the words of the Xiao family patriarch, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Xiao, Yanran apologizes for what happened today. Please visit the Nalan family sometime in the future!"
"Excuse me, senior."
Nalan Yanran bowed to Xiao Zhan and Xiao Chen, then, not daring to linger, got up and headed out of the hall.
Behind them, Ge Ye and the handsome young man hurriedly followed.
"Take the Qi Gathering Powder with you too!" With a wave of his hand, Xiao Zhan coldly flung the jade box on the table away.
Ge Ye reached back and firmly grasped the box, his eyes flashing, before storing it in his ring.
Seeing that Nalan Yanran was about to leave the hall, Xiao Chen felt that it would be more appropriate to say something.
"Nalan Yanran, I hope you won't regret your actions today."
"Don't think that just because you have the Yunlan Sect backing you up, you can run rampant. The Dou Qi Continent is very, very large, and there are quite a few people stronger than Yunshan and Yunyun."
Upon hearing this, the girl in the purple dress in the corner was the first to react.
She was somewhat surprised, because that was what she had originally intended to say.
At the same time, at the entrance of the hall, Ge Ye's body trembled violently, and a look of terror instantly covered his aged face.
His withered hands immediately grabbed Nalan Yanran and the young man, and then he fled the hall as if his life depended on it.
Seeing Ge Ye's actions, everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Chen.
Our ancestor was mighty!
The arrogant Kuzue and his group, who had been so cocky just moments before, were actually scared away?
Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
Although he had no cultivation, he had followed the beautiful teacher for many years and possessed the demeanor and aura of a strong person!
"You did a good job just now."
Xiao Chen looked directly at Xiao Yan.
"Thank you for the compliment, Ancestor."
Although he didn't know what the current situation was or why an ancestor had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yan still chose to trust his father's judgment.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to insult the Xiao family again!" Xiao Chen's domineering words drew a disdainful look from the golden snake.
Are you even here? What good are you?
I'm forcing you to act tough. If something really goes wrong, won't you still have to rely on me?
"Yes! With our ancestor here, our Xiao family... will surely rise again and return to its peak!" Xiao Zhan said excitedly.
"It's not up to me; you have to rely on yourselves."
"For a family, it is far from enough for one person to be powerful."
"Furthermore, given my status, it would be inappropriate for me to take action within the Gama Empire, lest I be accused of bullying the weak."
Xiao Chen gave a heads-up in advance.
After all, with his limited skills, he couldn't win a fight; he was just good at taking beatings.
No one can kill him!
"This... Ancestor, the Xiao family now..." Xiao Zhan immediately looked embarrassed.
"I know, the strongest is only a Grand Battle Master."
"But don't worry, with me here, improving your strength won't be a big problem."
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Xiao Chen's words excited everyone.
Although many people are still unaware of the situation, Ancestor Xiao Chen exudes the aura and confidence befitting a strong person from the inside out.
This prevents them from having even the slightest doubt.
"Everyone else, you can leave. You two stay here; I have something to tell you."
"Yes, Ancestor."
The Xiao family members left quickly.
Gu Xun'er was the last to leave, but she didn't say much.
She just gave Xiao Yan a sweet smile.
Xiao Chen left Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan behind.
"Ancestor, what is it?" Xiao Zhan asked somewhat nervously.
"If I remember correctly, the Xiao family wasn't in this remote northwest region back then. How did they end up here?" Xiao Chen asked knowingly.
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and sighed softly, "Only the clan leader is qualified to know such secrets. It all stems from a great war a thousand years ago..."
Listening to Xiao Zhan's account, Xiao Chen seemed to be deep in thought. The specific details had long been forgotten in history, but the general situation was not much different from what was described in the original work.
As Xiao Zhan recounted his story, Xiao Yan's eyes widened.
He never imagined that the Xiao family had such a glorious past!
Even one of the soul entities in the ring on his finger trembled slightly at this moment.
