"Sect Master adult..." Mo Li immediately knelt on the ground as well, finally having a backer.
Hearing their titles, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were all stunned. This person was actually the Cloud Mist Sect's Sect Master.
They never imagined that merely going to the Cloud Mist Sect to clarify matters would result in bringing back the Cloud Mist Sect's Sect Master. Xiao Zhan slowly stood up in shock.
The three elders followed suit, also surprised by how formidable Qin Yueyao turned out to be.
"Yanran." Seeing his somewhat haggard disciple, Yun Yun sighed. If not for her moment of oversight, today's outcome wouldn't have transpired.
Nalan Yanran took a few steps forward and said in surprise, "Teacher, your strength..."
The teacher before her seemed no different from an ordinary person, unlike the Dou Huang strong individual she usually was.
"It's temporarily sealed," Qin Yueyao said indifferently.
Yun Yun nodded slightly. The freezing qi in her Dou Qi Cyclone was like a besieged city, showing no signs of dissipating even now.
What? Nalan Yanran was greatly startled. Within the Cloud Mist Sect, her teacher could borrow the strength of all disciples and elders through the Cloud Mist Covered Sun Formation, yet she was still captured.
Elder Ge Ye and Mo Li immediately broke out in dense beads of sweat on their foreheads. Using the strength of the entire sect, they still couldn't stop Xiao Yan and his mother. Things were getting more and more complicated.
Xiao Zhan looked at his wife in confusion: "Weren't you going to the Cloud Mist Sect to seek justice? How did you abduct the Cloud Mist Sect's Sect Master!"
Qin Yueyao smiled gently: "Your son's abilities are much stronger than yours."
Xiao Zhan felt helpless. What did that have to do with him? And even if that boy turned the world upside down, wasn't he still my Xiao Zhan's son?
Qin Yueyao looked at Nalan Yanran in front of her, not showing a very good expression: "Regarding the engagement, you don't need to think about it anymore. In the future, the Xiao Clan will naturally clarify it with the Nalan family."
"Back then, the Xiao Clan Old Master forged the engagement with the Nalan family, hoping that the two families' friendship would last forever. Unfortunately, times have changed, and things are no longer the same."
Qin Yueyao recalled past events, inevitably feeling a sense of emotion about how unpredictable life was.
The Xiao Clan had continued its lineage for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the past century that a true genius like Xiao Yan's grandfather appeared, providing the foundation for the family's rapid development.
It was a pity that fortune was against him. He fought fiercely with his enemy, sustaining severe injuries, but was fortunately saved by a miraculous pill.
However, from that day on, he lost much of his desire to lead the family's development, remaining in seclusion to cultivate diligently, and has not emerged since.
Qin Yueyao dared not imagine, if it weren't for that mysterious strong individual gifting high-grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, and if even Xiao Yan's grandfather had fallen many years ago, how powerless Xiao Zhan and his son would have been in the face of today's events.
Closing her eyes slightly, Qin Yueyao said gravely: "The Xiao Clan never thought of breaking its promise. Even if your talent was mediocre, we never disliked you in the slightest, yet unexpectedly, we were unjustly accused."
"To be honest, even making you my son's maid would be barely acceptable." Qin Yueyao waved her sleeve, "Before this matter truly concludes, you will temporarily serve as a maid in the Xiao Clan."
Nalan Yanran felt quite bitter in her heart, not because she would become a servant to Xiao Yan, but because she didn't understand...
Why was it that her deepest desire, the goal she had strived for since she began cultivating, now that she had achieved her heart's desire, she couldn't feel happy at all?
Xiao Yan understood his mother's meaning. When grandfather emerged from his cultivation retreat and learned of this matter, he would naturally make a decision.
The matter from back then began with him, the elder, so naturally, it should also end with him, the elder.
And Nalan Yanran publicly annulled the engagement. If she were allowed to leave like that, it would be far too easy for her.
Although Nalan Yanran was quite beautiful, Xiao Yan felt no regret about not forming a marital bond with her.
When the matter came to a head, his thoughts remained unchanged from when Yao Lao first tempted him years ago.
Whether Nalan Yanran annulled the engagement or abided by it, the Xiao Clan always upheld the two words: integrity.
Xiao Yan slowly said, "You desired freedom and chose to annul the engagement, which is not wrong in itself. However, the method you chose was wrong. If you had privately come to the Xiao Clan and politely stated your intentions, the Xiao Clan would not have insisted on maintaining this nominal engagement."
The two families had not interacted for many years, so calling the engagement nominal was not an exaggeration.
Nalan Yanran gently bit her thin lips, her eyes faintly welling with tears as she looked at Xiao Yan.
This person before her was like a curse, lingering in her mind since childhood.
She never expected that she, who was always regarded as a favored daughter of heaven, would seem utterly worthless in front of this fiancé.
Yun Yun sighed. She, too, was partly to blame for this matter.
If she hadn't thought of the unavoidable situation between herself and Yao... Xiao Yan, and didn't want her disciple to follow in her footsteps, allowing her to pursue her own happiness, she wouldn't have easily decided to let her annul the engagement.
She just hadn't expected it to backfire somewhat.
Yun Yun lowered her gaze to the two kneeling on the ground: "Ge Ye, Mo Li, you two may return to the sect. The Old Sect Master has emerged from his retreat, and the sect is in urgent need of assistance now."
"Old Sect Master..." Ge Ye looked up in horror. The Old Sect Master had been in seclusion for many years; he hadn't expected him to still be alive, and he wondered if he had broken through to that legendary realm.
However, even so, their own Sect Master was still captured and brought back to the Xiao Clan.
From this, one could see the power of Xiao Yan's mother!
Mo Li, as if granted a great pardon, helped Ge Ye up and walked towards the door.
Watching Mo Li's actions, Nalan Yanran felt deeply disappointed. This senior brother, who had always flattered her, now didn't even dare to look at her.
"Teacher, what about you?" Nalan Yanran asked, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.
Xiao Zhan was also somewhat confused. Although the Xiao Clan was not afraid of the Cloud Mist Sect, forcibly keeping a sect's Sect Master, aside from incurring the Cloud Mist Sect's enmity, had no meaning.
Yun Yun's face slightly reddened as she lowered her head. Given Xiao Yan's strength, the matter three years from now was almost a foregone conclusion and unchangeable. It was just that...
Qin Yueyao smiled slightly, uttering words that left everyone dumbfounded.
"A disciple is ultimately not as good as her teacher. You yourself were blind, but your master has a clear heart. Three years from now, when the Cloud Mist Sect's sword competition concludes, she will be a member of my Xiao Clan."
Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly widened a few points. His son didn't marry the disciple, but was going to marry her teacher, the Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master Yun Yun?
The three elders also gasped. They hadn't expected that Xiao Yan had just dissolved one engagement, only to immediately gain an even better one.
As the Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master, Yun Yun was naturally a top-tier figure, though her seniority was a bit...
Xun'er's eyes reddened, and she stomped her little foot bitterly. She hadn't expected that Xiao Yan Ge-ge's reunion with this Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master would end up like this?
When she saw the jade bracelet on her hand, Xun'er felt a bit more at ease. Because her bloodline hadn't fully awakened, she couldn't do anything too extreme right now.
Compared to Nalan Yanran, this Yun Yun was not bad either...
