Chapter 7: The Lion's Mouth

Elder Ge Ye said helplessly: "Chief Xiao, I know this is a bit difficult, but please cancel the engagement for the sake of the Lord Sect Master!"

"Ka-ka-ka…"

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, and the fighting spirit in his body flowed. The light blue fighting spirit covered his entire body, and a phantom lion head vaguely condensed on his head.

Elder Ge Ye's expression became solemn upon seeing this. He blocked Nalan Yanran behind him, with his hands slightly bent like eagle claws, and a tiny and sharp sword energy faintly emerging from his fingertips.

"You can cancel the engagement if you want!"

Just when Xiao Zhan couldn't help but take action, a voice as gentle as jade suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

The person who spoke was the male protagonist of the broken engagement incident. However, Xiao Feng did not show too much anger, but seemed exceptionally calm.

Don't be angry!

Anger will only cloud your rationality, thus giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage!

"Feng'er, you..."

Before Xiao Zhan could finish his words, Xiao Feng interrupted him and said, "Father, I don't think arranged marriages are reliable.

When my grandfather was still alive, our Xiao family had a Dou Wang strongman in charge, and we were considered to be a good match for the Nalan family. My engagement with Miss Nalan was reasonable.

But since my grandfather passed away, our Xiao family has fallen into decline, so it is normal for the Nalan family to break the contract.

Moreover, Miss Nalan is now the young master of the Yunlan Sect. She will be able to break through to the Douhuang realm in the future. Her husband must be at least a Douhuang or even a Douzong level strongman, right?"

When Nalan Yanran heard Xiao Feng's words, her face suddenly turned ugly, turning blue and red.

Although Xiao Feng seemed to be speaking for himself, there was only one meaning between his words, which was that the Nalan family despised the poor and loved the rich.

"Ms. Nalan, I understand your thoughts. I also believe in free love."

Xiao Feng ignored Nalan Yanran's ugly expression, but said with embarrassment: "But the engagement between you and me was made by my grandfather and old man Nalan Jie. Even if we really want to cancel the engagement, we have to let old man Nalan Jie come to our Xiao family in person to cancel the engagement, right?

After all, Mr. Nalan Jie and my grandfather were good brothers who shared life and death. You can't just not give our Xiao family this little bit of face, right?"

"you..."

Feeling the sarcasm in Xiao Feng's tone, Nalan Yanran was a little angry for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "Xiao Feng, don't drag this matter onto my grandfather. This matter has nothing to do with my grandfather. I came to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement on my own.

I don't dislike your Xiao family, I just don't want to marry someone I don't even know just because of a so-called arranged marriage!"

"I see! Since old man Nalan Jie is not aware of this matter, then Miss Nalan is not here to cancel the engagement on behalf of the Nalan family, but is here as the young master of the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Feng nodded in understanding, and then changed the subject: "Then the next step is simple. We just need to negotiate the compensation, and then we can cancel the engagement happily."

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Nalan Yanran felt relieved, but at the same time she also felt a bit of contempt for him.

After all, Xiao Feng is just a vulgar man who wants to marry a rich and powerful man. I will never marry such a man!

"It's as it should be."

After Elder Ge Ye finished speaking, he raised his right hand and waved it, and two jade bottles suddenly appeared on the table in front of him.

Amid the puzzled and curious gazes of the crowd, Elder Ge Ye introduced proudly: "These two pill bottles contain one Qi Gathering Powder and one Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill respectively. As long as the Xiao family is willing to cancel the engagement, these two pills will belong to the Xiao family."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the three elders' faces changed slightly, revealing a somewhat conflicted expression.

Qi Gathering Powder and Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill are both fourth-grade medicinal pills, and each pill is worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Among them, the Qi Gathering Powder can allow those who have reached the ninth level of Dou Qi to break through to the level of Dou Zhe with 100% certainty, and is very suitable for the outstanding disciples of the Xiao family to take.

The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is a top-grade fourth-grade elixir that can increase the strength of a Grand Fighter by one star without having too much resistance.

In other words, if a great fighting master can collect two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, he can steadily improve his strength by two stars.

In the Xiao family today, Xiao Zhan is the only Grand Fighter, so this Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is specially prepared for him.

"Hahaha..."

Just when Nalan Yanran thought she had won, Xiao Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Oh!"

Xiao Feng sneered and said, "I am the young master of Xiao Yunlan Sect, but I am only worth this little money?"

"you..."

"Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Feng interrupted Nalan Yanran and asked Elder Ge Ye, "Elder Ge Ye, you just said that Sect Master Yun thinks highly of Miss Nalan and even intends to train her to be the next Sect Master.

In other words, if I do not agree to cancel the engagement, I will not only be able to marry a Douhuang expert in the future, but I will also be able to marry the powerful leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Ask yourself, if you were me, would you agree to cancel this marriage just for two fourth-grade pills? "

"Well..."

Elder Ge Ye didn't know how to refute after hearing this.

Nonsense!

If Elder Ge Ye was Xiao Feng, he would not agree to cancel the engagement unless he was out of his mind!

Looking at Xiao Feng's greedy look, Nalan Yanran began to hate him more and more. She suppressed her anger and asked, "What compensation do you want?"

"The compensation I want is very simple. I only need you to give our Xiao family two high-level Xuan-level skills, five high-level Xuan-level fighting skills, and enough training resources for my father to cultivate to Dou Wang, and I can agree to cancel the engagement now."

"You...you are shameless!!!"

Nalan Yanran was so angry that she almost exploded, and her little chest kept heaving.

Come and listen to this guy, is he speaking human language?

Not to mention Nalan Yanran, even Xiao Zhan and the others showed some speechless expressions. Xiao Feng's lion-like mouth was too scary.

But then again, if the Yunlan Sect could really agree to such an outrageous condition, Xiao Zhan and the others wouldn't mind letting Xiao Feng and Nalan Yanran cancel their engagement.

In the Douqi Continent, it is a very shameful thing for a man to be broken off by his wife at her home, but as long as the compensation for breaking off the engagement is sufficient, outsiders will not think that the Xiao family has lost face, but will instead feel that they have made a big profit.
