Chapter 3, Leaving Wutan City
Of course, it is to drink tea
Xiao Yan raised the small box I gave him in his hand, waved his hand, while Xun Er smiled modestly, also holding a small box in her hand; this was the gift I had given them
I downed a fine wine in one gulp, beginning to trace back the glorious years of the past with Xiao Yan... Of course, it is not the glorious years of Xiao Yan and me, but rather those of my grandfather and Xiao Yan's grandfather.
I burst into laughter, knowing that I have finally freed myself from the shadow of Xiao Yan. I will embark on my own legendary journey, and I will fully express the brilliance that belongs to me
The reason I ask this is that the three-year agreement no longer exists
Qingshan Town, Little Medical Immortal, I, Nalan Ye, have arrived
Xun'er turned her gaze towards Xiao Yan and softly said: "I will listen to Brother Xiao Yan."
My father is somewhat displeased. As the elder of the Nalan family, he has spent a considerable amount of time in Wutan City and no longer has time to indulge my antics
I poured wine for Xiao Yan, then looked at Xun Er and smiled, "Sister Xun Er, would you prefer wine or tea?"
The disappearance of the three-year agreement does not change the fact that Xiao Yan will still shine brightly at the coming-of-age ceremony, will still meet Ya Fei through alchemy, will still stir up the winds and clouds in Wu Tan City, and will still encounter the recruitment team from the Jia Nan Academy ...? ... But by then, he will probably go directly to the Jia Nan Academy with Xiao Yu and Xun Er, right?
I looked somewhat dazed, awkwardly laughing twice to cover it up
I chuckled and no longer paid attention to the extra, stepping forward to clasp Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said: "Brother Xiao Yan, you must have been startled. Come, let us have a drink to calm your nerves!"
I asked: "Are you going to seek refuge with your two biological brothers?"
Xiao Yan nodded, "It is possible; perhaps I will also undergo training alone"
For Xun'er, Xiao Yan will naturally strive hard; for Old Yao, he will certainly confront the Soul Palace
No, it has already been quietly changing
I sat in the carriage, glanced at the figure of my father departing, and then turned back to look at Wutan City, only to see the continuous green mountains; Wutan City had long been left behind.
The three of us, along with our guard, left the market and arrived at an inn within the city. Once seated, food and drinks were promptly served to us.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the private room, and soon, a pot of fine tea was brought in. I poured a cup for Xun'er; the fragrance of the tea was clear and indeed of excellent quality
Xun'er obediently nodded her head, and I felt a wave of displeasure from this meal of dog food. I could only give Xiao Yan a brief smile, then turned my head and loudly cursed a few words outside the private room
My granduncle, who is also Yanran's biological grandfather, the former clan leader and the strongest of the Nalan family, Dou Wang Nalan Jie! He was a very good friend of Xiao Yan's biological grandfather, Xiao Lin, and it was the two of them who arranged the marriage contract between Xiao Yan and Yanran.
I turned my head to look at Xun'er beside me, dressed in a flowing purple gown, standing apart from the world, exuding a cool yet slightly youthful aura, resembling a blue lotus just beginning to bloom
The guards of the Xiao family market arrived late, and facing the guard leader whose role I had stolen, I felt no sense of guilt, teasingly saying: "Payne, how tardy you are?"
With my presence at the scene of the annulment, it was naturally impossible to have any "three-year agreement". Before the annulment, I specifically instructed Sister Yanran not to speak, and indeed, Sister Yanran does not like to talk.
As the heavy wheels roll forward, and dozens of hooves tread upon the paved road, my convoy slowly sets off, heading towards the distance
I suddenly waved my arms at them and shouted loudly: "The green mountains remain unchanged, the green waters flow forever, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, we shall meet again!"
In this renowned academy on the continent, Xiao Yan will encounter more rivals, as well as a better cultivation environment, and perhaps he will grow at a faster pace... He is about to embark on a brand new legendary journey
But will everything remain unchanged
Pain looked ashamed, first apologizing to Xiao Yan and Xun Er, then expressing gratitude to me, saying thank you for my timely intervention, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable
During the annulment of the engagement, it was those few idiots from the Yunlan Sect who were making a scene the entire time. Naturally, Xiao Yan's anger was entirely drawn towards these fools, and with my mediation, his resentment towards Sister Yanran and the Nalan family was not significant.
Xiao Yan's feelings towards me, or rather the Nalan family's feelings, are quite complex. They are probably reluctant to go, but under my enthusiastic invitation, they ultimately nodded in agreement
Under my imposing presence, Galeon did not even dare to utter a harsh word, and fled in disgrace with a group of sycophants.
I recounted the story I had heard from my father, and Xiao Yan also shared what he had learned from his own father. The two of us engaged in a pleasant conversation.
The next morning, outside the north gate of Wutan City
However, this has also changed many plotlines
After finishing the meal and drinks, I parted ways with Xiao Yan and Xun Er at the entrance of the restaurant. I watched their figures fade into the distance, a faint smile appearing at the corner of my mouth as I murmured to myself: "This is truly wonderful, truly wonderful..."
I sat in the carriage, leaning my head out of the window to look back. Outside the north gate of Wutan City stood a young boy and a young girl, named Xiao Yan and Xun Er respectively, who had come to see me off
The one responding is Xiao Yan. He looks at Xun Er's tender body and face, clears his throat, and says: "Xun Er is still young, how can she drink alcohol? It is not good for her health"
Without the three-year agreement, will Xiao Yan become mediocre from then on? No! He will never be mediocre, because his girlfriend is Xun Er, and his teacher is Yao Lao
After chatting for a while and having some food and drink, I asked, "Brother Xiao Yan, what are your thoughts for the future?"
Thus, my father returned directly to the Nalan family with a guard, while I set off towards Qingshan Town with the remaining guards
I laughed heartily, retracted my body, leaned back against the carriage, my expression gradually turning cold, and shouted to the driver: "Change the route, head to Qingshan Town"
Sister Xun'er ... ... let's all go together, haha, let's all go together, everyone go!
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Xun Er, then withdrew his gaze, rubbed his nose, and said: "Naturally, I will stay in Wu Tan City. I have not yet completed my coming-of-age ceremony... Once I have reached adulthood, I will probably go out to train."
