Chapter 10, The First Encounter with Nalan Jie

Blood? Nalan Jie is a Dou Wang level expert, how could he be coughing up blood

So be it

Suddenly, Nalan Jie coughed, and my heart skipped a beat, for I was astonished to see Nalan Jie cough up blood

I was momentarily taken aback, unsure of what to say. Fortunately, Nalan Jie did not intend to listen to me and exclaimed, "I heard that while I was away, you all canceled Yanran's marriage? Hey, you certainly have some nerve!"

Suddenly, my body trembled as I felt a powerful pressure enveloping me! My face turned crimson, my breathing became rapid, my legs trembled, and I was on the verge of collapsing!

I took another scroll in my hand, and upon opening it, I found it was the "Seven-Colored Poison Manual." I reached out and gently stroked it, as if I could still feel the warmth left by the Little Medicine Fairy on it. I couldn't help but let out a cold laugh and murmured:

I was greatly alarmed and struggled to shout: "Old sir, this matter is absolutely beneficial and not harmful to my Nalan family! Moreover, we have already compensated the Xiao family, so I kindly ask you to quell your anger!"

On this day, after I finished my training and was contemplating going for dinner, unexpectedly, Mo Mu rushed in and startled me with his opening words

Who would have thought that I would unexpectedly encounter the old gentleman in Wusi City on my way back

Nalan Jie is already of advanced age, yet his gaze remains sharp and piercing. He shot me a glance, snorted coldly, and exclaimed, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I am not old yet, I can still hear!"

Nalan Jie glared with both eyes and shouted, "A mere scorching poison, what is there to fear? Stop putting on that dead father's expression!"

My heart trembled violently, and I had a gut feeling that this old fellow Nalan Jie might really kill me, which scared me to the point of almost losing my mind. I could only grasp at the last straw of hope and shouted hoarsely, "Old sir, I, I have already made a marriage pact with the Xiao family, I have arranged to marry Xiao Mei'er, the cousin of Xiao Yan... Please, I implore you to calm your anger!"

Having teased Xiao Yan and abducted the Little Doctor Fairy, do you really think you are the protagonist now

I have already gotten up from the ground, not daring to look around, not even daring to brush off the dust from my silk robe. I stood there silently with my head lowered, when suddenly I heard a sigh... Was it from Nalan Jie?

After a long time, the banquet came to an end. I returned to my room in a daze and hurriedly called for the maid to bring me the antidote for intoxication. The antidote was quite effective; after taking one, I felt revitalized and no longer in a state of confusion.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and hurriedly fled the hall.

The clinker Nalan Jiedeng shot me a glance and scolded, "Idiot, who asked about that little kid? What I asked was about that brat Xiao Zhan!"

Once Nalan Jie falls, although the Nalan family will not completely collapse, it will inevitably weaken. And the weakening of the Nalan family will naturally affect my interests

Having sent away the captain of the guards and the maid, I lay alone on the bed, looking around. The room is spacious and the bed is wide, yet I always feel that something is missing

The little healer has left, but life must go on. I drank porridge and took the elixir, and I feel much better physically, but mentally I still feel a bit dazed. I don't know if it's due to the remnants of the eagle beast's soul or some other reason

Young master, the old clan leader has arrived

Without the three-year agreement, Xiao Yan naturally would not go to Jia Ma City, nor would he go to treat Nalan Jie So, who will treat Nalan Jie

Hahaha ... ...

The burning poison that Nalan Jie is afflicted with is extremely troublesome, and many Dou Huangs have died from this burning poison. Only the异火 can cure it! Who, who?! Without Xiao Yan, who can possibly heal Nalan Jie?

This time we are able to successfully annul the engagement, firstly due to the strong support of the Yunlan Sect, and secondly... naturally, it is because this old gentleman is no longer at home, but has gone to the Demon Beast Mountain Range

As I turned my head, I saw two scrolls placed on the bedside table. I reached out to take a look. One was the "Purple Cloud Wing" combat technique. Seeing the still pitch-black eagle wings depicted on it, my heart trembled!

Hmph

Nalan Jie, a champion of the arena, being injured is certainly not an unusual occurrence. However, for the Nalan family, the injury of their pillar is undoubtedly a matter of great significance

You, have you figured it out

Became complacent, became proud, became arrogant

In the face of this formidable warrior, one of the top ten powerhouses of the Jamah Empire and the pillar of the Nalan family, I did not dare to be careless and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard to the main hall ahead

The marriage between Yanran and the young child of the Xiao family was arranged by me and Old Xiao fifteen years ago! Now that Old Xiao is no longer with us, this marriage cannot be retracted! Hey, you little brats are quite bold, daring to annul the engagement I set! What courage, truly remarkable courage!

I dismissed the maid and stood alone by the window, gazing at the night sky. The stars are sparse tonight, and the moonlight is exquisite, bright and radiant; it is a perfect night for moon gazing.

Hello

A heavy weight settled in my heart; although my feelings for Nalan Jie are shallow, or even nonexistent, everything about Nalan Jie is related to my interests

Just like the recent visits from various factions in Wusicheng, could it be that they came to visit because of me, Nalan Ye

I could no longer afford to be afraid, and hurriedly ran forward, anxiously asking: "Old man, were you injured in the Warcraft Mountains?"

The Warcraft Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, becoming increasingly perilous the deeper one ventures. It is said that at the deepest parts, there are even Level 7 magical beasts roaming! Throughout history, even the strongest of the Fighting Emperors have been unaware of how many have been buried within them!

I stored the two scrolls into the ring and fell into a deep sleep

I tidied my clothes outside the hall before entering, and then I respectfully bowed and said: "Grandson Nalan Ye pays his respects to the elder."

A fierce breath rushed towards me, and for a moment, I could not help but feel dazed, as if the person sitting in front of me was not Nalan Jie, but an ancient beast, ferocious and brutal

If I remember correctly, Nalan Jie was poisoned by the Liao poison, and then Xiao Yan disguised himself as "Yan Xiao" to treat him, which led to Sister Yanran falling in love with Xiao Yan ...! ... This matter is truly infuriating!

In the following days, I focused my mind and began to cultivate my fighting energy. Until now, I have surprisingly only reached the seventh level of fighting energy, and my strength is truly too low

Iron branding poison? Poison branding?

At that moment, a deep voice startled me awake. I turned abruptly to see it was Nalan Jie. After a moment of hesitation, I nodded and said, "Old man, you... have been poisoned, haven't you"

I let out a low laugh, filled with desolation. However, after the laughter subsided, my expression turned cold, yet a hint of determination emerged in my gaze

Nalan Jiele let out a cold snort, completely ignoring my words, and instead increased the pressure even further. My legs could no longer hold up, and I suddenly knelt down.

The branding iron's poison mark? I had just breathed a sigh of relief when a flood of memories suddenly surged in my mind, startling me and making my heart tremble!

Nalan Jie let out a long sigh and murmured, "That girl Yanran... cough!"

Various unbearable thoughts surged to my mind, how I despise that I had not noticed them earlier! How arrogant I was to attempt to cultivate it with a mere seven segments of fighting spirit, it is truly laughable, exceedingly laughable.

Nalan Jie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and said: "I killed the head of the iron brand, but I was also injured by it; it's nothing serious."

I could not help but gaze at the moon, murmuring: "The blue lotus heart fire, I, Nalan Ye, shall take it myself..."

The next day, due to my health reasons, I did not set off for Jiamacheng, but instead stayed in Wusicheng to recuperate.

Little Medical Fairy, your fate has already been changed by me... Will you still encounter Xiao Yan? Will you still be able to control the Evil Poison Body?

Having said that, Nalan Jie turned his head to look at the shopkeeper who was standing silently with his head lowered, and scolded, "Stop pretending to be dead, and hurry up and get out to prepare dinner for me!"

No, they value Nalan Jie’s reputation

I have been saved! The pressure of the Dou Wang is truly overwhelming, and I nearly collapsed to the ground, my hands clutching my throat as I coughed violently, resembling a dead dog

I instinctively raised my head and heard Nalan Jie say, "How is that young man from the Xiao family doing?"

I have also heard that the admissions team from Canaan Academy will pass through Wutan City, and perhaps Xiao Yan will go to Canaan Academy to cultivate in the future

Yet I have no mood to admire the moon, only wishing to gaze at the countless stars. As I look at them one by one, I find that most stars are dim and lackluster, yet there are still some that twinkle and strive to shine, though small, they still wish to compete with the bright moonlight

Several factions in Wusicheng, upon hearing the news, sent representatives to pay their respects, though none were significant figures; they were all from the younger generation

I scratched my head and thought for a moment, then said: "Xiao Zhan... Uncle is quite good as well. With our Nalan family as in-laws, the Xiao family will naturally be able to make a significant impact in Wutan City. It is possible that in the future, the Xiao family could even monopolize Wutan City."

Xiao Zhan, who is also the father of Xiao Yan. I felt a moment of embarrassment; who told you not to clarify? With that kid's chaotic shouting, how was I supposed to know who you were referring to

However, the Warcraft Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Although I previously visited Qingshan Town and spent a few days wandering in the Warcraft Mountains, I never imagined I would encounter the old man.

Nalan Jieduan sat there like a deity who reigns over all, looking down at me with eyes full of disdain, and scolded, "If it weren't for your marriage alliance with the Xiao family, I would have slapped you to death long ago, you useless waste!"

No, no, I frowned; the key issue is not the gossip about Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, but rather...! ... the three-year agreement is no longer valid

After dinner, Nalan Jie enjoyed the meal immensely, drinking from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat! I forced a laugh to accompany him, and this old fellow even pressured me to drink a great deal of wine.

It's nothing

I was taken aback and quickly said, "Old man, Xiao Yan is actually doing quite well. Although he has broken off his engagement with Sister Yanran, I specifically sought him out for guidance, and his mindset is quite positive."

In the plain and simple hall, the shopkeeper stood humbly below, with not even a place to sit. At the head of the room, a tall and sturdy man with a resolute face sat confidently.

The old patriarch, Nalan Jie? I frowned; Nalan Jie is the direct grandfather of Nalan Yanran. It was he who, along with Xiao Yan's grandfather, established the marriage contract back in the day, and it is said that he has always opposed the annulment of the marriage.

I restrained my expression and nodded slightly, unsure whether Nalan Jie truly did not care or was merely trying to comfort me

The intense pressure dissipated like a gentle breeze

In the meantime, some small to medium-sized factions came to seek an audience, but I was too lazy to engage with them and let the shopkeeper handle the reception himself
