Chapter 153 Countdown to Broken Engagement!
Chapter 153: Countdown to Broken Engagement!
Douqi Continent, Xiao Family of Wutan City.
In a spacious and quiet courtyard.
Inside the pavilion, a beautiful figure stood elegantly.
The breeze blowing in her face made her long black hair flutter slowly, and the swaying of her skirt outlined the girl's perfect body curves.
The girl was wearing an elegant purple dress, gazing calmly into the distance. Her beautiful face was like a worldly lotus, noble and untainted by dust.
At this moment, the girl was slightly frowning, and a hint of sadness flashed across her beautiful eyes as if she had something on her mind.
After a moment, the girl suddenly spoke. Her clear and pleasant voice made people feel as if their souls were cleansed.
"Mr. Ling, come out!"
As the girl finished her words, wisps of black mist emerged from the bluestone ground outside the pavilion. The black mist quickly gathered, and in a moment, it transformed into a human figure covered in black mist.
This figure was none other than Ling Ying who was protecting the girl.
"Miss!" Ling Ying knelt on one knee and looked respectfully at the girl with her back to him.
"Just tell me what's going on!" Xun'er said calmly.
"Tomorrow, people from the Yunlan Sect will arrive at the Xiao family, and Young Master Xiao Yan's fiancée Nalan Yanran will also be accompanying them." Ling Ying said respectfully.
"Why are they here? Do they want to cancel the engagement?" Xun'er sneered.
Although she also doesn't like being forced into an engagement, you didn't back out earlier or later, but you backed out when she was lonely, which is shameful.
"Miss, you guessed correctly. They are indeed here to cancel the engagement this time. And Nalan Yanran's grandfather, Nalan Jie, has agreed." Seeing Xun'er's cold eyes, Ling Ying showed a bitter smile.
"Doesn't Nalan Jie claim to be the one who keeps his promises? Why did he suddenly agree to Nalan Yanran's request this time?" Xun'er said in surprise.
"Because of one person. Seven days ago, the Gama Empire held an Alchemist Conference. A young alchemist named Xiao Huohuo refined the fifth-grade elixir Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, and defeated Holden, the president of the Izumo Empire Alchemist Guild who was participating in the competition in disguise, and won the championship of the Alchemist Conference."
"Many forces in the Jiama Empire, including the Nalan family, are interested in winning over this talented alchemist. Even Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, directly promised him the position of young leader, but was rejected. Nalan Jie seems to want to bring Nalan Yanran and Xiao Huohuo together."
"Xiao Huohuo?" Xun'er frowned. For some reason, she always felt that this name carried a lot of malice towards someone.
"Well, if they want to cancel the engagement, then let them do so. As long as they don't go too far, then don't bother with it. You can leave now."
"Yes, Miss." Ling Ying nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and spoke again: "Miss, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
"Just say whatever you want to say all at once," Xun'er said impatiently.
"The Douhuang expert who followed Master Xiao Se a year ago has been found out. He was Hai Bodong, one of the top ten masters of the Jia Ma Empire. He was the Grand Elder of the Mitel Family. After parting with Master Xiao Se, he returned to the Jia Ma Holy City. Xiao Huohuo, who suddenly appeared, was also very close to Hai Bodong in the imperial capital. After refining the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, he directly gave it to Hai Bodong to help him recover his cultivation."
"You mean that Xiao Huohuo is most likely cousin Xiao Se in disguise?" Xun'er was slightly startled when she heard this, and a hint of undisguised surprise flashed across her cold and beautiful eyes.
Ling Ying said: "According to the information I have found, Xiao Huohuo is the same as Master Xiao Se except for his appearance. I guess he must have disguised himself."
After listening to Ling Ying's words, Xun'er turned to look at Ling Ying, and her cold face finally revealed a faint smile, "This is indeed the style of cousin Xiao Se. I didn't expect that cousin Xiao Se could already refine fifth-grade elixirs. Fourteen years old, it's amazing. More than two years ago, he just broke through to the Fighter level."
Seeing Xun'er's rare smile, Ling Ying felt relieved. Just as he was about to say something, Xun'er's voice rang out again, "By the way, Elder Ling, you just said that the families in the Holy City want to win over Cousin Xiao Se, and Nalan Jie even wants to bring Cousin Xiao Se and Nalan Yanran together. How did Cousin Xiao Se respond?"
"According to the information I have gathered, Master Xiao Se only treats Nalan Yanran as an ordinary friend. However." Ling Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Master Xiao Se seems to have a deep relationship with Ya Fei of the Miter family. The two of them have a close relationship."
"No, you're wrong. He's not cousin Xiao Se." Hearing this, Xun'er turned her back to Ling Ying, and her rosy face turned pale. Then she raised her hand to Ling Ying and said lightly, "Mr. Ling, you go down first!"
"Yes." Ling Ying glanced at Xun'er, whose face had turned pale, responded, and led her into the darkness.
"Cousin Xiao Yu, Ya Fei, what should I do?"
The light voice slowly fell, and a drop of crystal tears quietly slid down Xun'er's delicate face. At the moment when the tear fell to the ground, a faint golden flame appeared between Xun'er's eyebrows. The golden flame disappeared in an instant. In a trance, she seemed to recall something.
On the other hand, when Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement.
Douluo Continent.
Xiao Se, Zhu Zhuqing, and Long Kui have followed Bibi Dong to Tiandou City.
Xiao Se stood in the middle, Xiao Maomi and Bibi Dong stood on the left and right, and the three of them walked side by side. Long Kui was hidden in the magic sword pattern on Xiao Se's right hand.
Just like before, Xiao Se and Xiao Maomi were still wearing the same clothes, and Bibi Dong was still wearing a white dress, without changing into the Pope's unique gold-studded robe and nine-curve purple gold crown.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Bibi Dong even put on a layer of white gauze on her pretty face. At this time, no one could imagine that the Pope of the Spirit Hall would come to Tiandou City in plain clothes.
"Sister Dong'er, is this Tiandou City? It's magnificent." Long Kui's soft voice entered the minds of Xiao Se, Bibi Dong, and Xiaomao at the same time.
"After all, it is the Tiandou Imperial City, one of the two great empires. In terms of scale alone, only the Xingluo City of the Xingluo Empire can be compared to it. Xiao Se used to bring me here to play many times." Bibi Dong looked around, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Se. That familiar face made her feel so at ease.
Noticing Bibi Dong's gaze, Xiao Se smiled slightly. He did have some impression of Tiandou City. He immediately took Bibi Dong's fair jade hand, and their fingers were intertwined and held tightly.
While holding Bibi Dong's jade hand, Xiao Se did not favor one over the other. He held the little cat's hand took the two beauties and walked quickly along the familiar route in his memory. Finally, they stopped in an elegant and quaint teahouse.
"We're here." Seeing Xiao Se taking her to the familiar teahouse, Bibi Dong smiled and said.
