Bab 160: Chapter 161 Xiao Zhan's Regret

Chapter 161 Xiao Zhan's Regret

"Uncle Xiao, my niece doesn't want to make things too ugly. Now that things have come to this, let's cancel the engagement." As she spoke, Nalan Yanran waved her hand.

Ge Ye nodded slightly and lightly touched the ring in his hand. A dark green jade box the size of both palms appeared in his hand out of thin air.

"Patriarch Xiao, the Nalan family also knows that this may be a bit difficult, so they specially entrusted me to bring two things. It is considered compensation."

Ge Ye smiled awkwardly and opened the jade box carefully. Two completely different and strange elixir scents instantly filled the entire hall.

"This is..." The three elders leaned over curiously and looked at the jade box, their bodies suddenly jerked.

Two pills were lying quietly inside, both the size of Longan fruit, one was emerald green, the other was shiny black, and one could vaguely see a trace of a pill pattern on them.

Very easily, everyone recognized the emerald green pill: a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill, and a Qi Gathering Pill with extremely high-quality condensed pill patterns.

Although they could not recognize the shiny black pill, the fragrance it emitted was comparable to that of the Qi Gathering Powder, so it must be no ordinary product.

Seeing the reactions of the three elders, Ge Ye smiled complacently, and then he stopped keeping the secret and said with a smile: "I believe everyone knows this green pill. It is a fourth-grade pill called Qi Gathering Powder, which can help ninth-level Dou Qi practitioners break through to Dou Level 100%."

"Although this other pill is not as good as the fourth-grade Qi Condensation Pill, it is still better in terms of efficacy. The third-grade peak pill, the Interruption Pill, is very effective in repairing bone and ligament injuries. Old Master Nalan knew that the young master's fighting spirit had disappeared, and guessed that it might be that some meridian or ligament in the body was damaged, so he specially asked me to bring this third-grade peak pill."

As the words fell, the hall fell silent again. The three elders and the young men and women of the Xiao family were almost eager to get the Qi Gathering Powder.

Xiao Zhan, who should have been dismissive, couldn't help swallowing his saliva after hearing about the Duanxu Pill, and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.

Although the Qi Gathering Powder is precious, he does not want it.

But the Duanxu Pill is different because it is very likely to solve the problem of his son Xiao Yan's disappearance of his cultivation talent.

The greatest pain in his life was the death of his wife and the disappearance of his third son Xiao Yan's fighting spirit.

Now the biggest solution is right in front of us: how to make him not be tempted.

"Haha, these two pills were refined by Lord Xiao Huohuo. The quality is almost perfect and they have condensed pill patterns. The Nalan family spent nearly one million gold coins to buy them at the Mitre Auction House at a high price. I believe you all have heard of Lord Xiao Huohuo's name recently." Looking at the loss of composure on the faces of Xiao Zhan and the three elders, Ge Ye felt more and more proud and said with a smile.

"It's Lord Xiao Huohuo?" Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall, including Xun'er, was moved.

Perhaps a week ago, the name Xiao Huohuo was not well known.

However, at the Alchemist Conference, Xiao Huohuo refined the fifth-grade elixir, the Purple Pill of Rejuvenation, and defeated Holden, the president of the Izumo Empire Guild, who had disguised himself to attend the Alchemist Conference. The legend of Xiao Huohuo began to spread throughout the Jiama Empire and even several surrounding countries.

Especially when the Alchemist Guild announced that Xiao Huohuo's championship reward was the recipe for the sixth-grade top-level elixir, the Sect Breaking Elixir, Xiao Huohuo's reputation directly overshadowed that of the Alchemy King Gu He.

At the age of seventeen, he was able to refine a fifth-grade elixir!

With this talent, no one would doubt that he could become a sixth-grade alchemist. And once he became a sixth-grade alchemist and refined a sect-breaking elixir, countless Dou Huangs would be willing to condescend to serve him, just to gain a favor.

After all, in this Jiamao Empire and even in several surrounding countries, Dou Zong is almost extinct.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan was in extreme entanglement. He regretted it very much. If he had not chosen to compromise with the three elders of the Xiao family when Ge Ye first asked for "borrowing a word", then the situation would not have become so deadlocked.

At that time, both parties would quietly cancel the engagement, Nalan Yanran would achieve her goal, and he would obtain the intermittent pill that might help his son recover his cultivation talent, and both parties would be happy. Why would the situation become so deadlocked?

Just when Xiao Zhan was full of thoughts, Xiao Yan, who felt extremely insulted, started to act up again.

"Elder Ge Ye, please take the pills back. I have already said before that we will not agree to this."

"Yan'er, you..." Seeing Xiao Yan stand up and refuse again, Xiao Zhan didn't know what to say. It was a mutually beneficial thing, but it turned into this situation.

"Then what exactly do you want? Do you think it's not enough?" Nalan Yanran felt that her brain was not enough. Where did this funny guy come from? He was just looking for trouble.

If she hadn't seen even more top-notch talents, which made her more mature, with her former arrogance, she might have just beaten the other person up.

Xiao Yan bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhan, then turned to Nalan Yanran and said with gritted teeth: "Nalan Yanran, don't think you are so great. Didn't you break through to the Fighter level at the age of thirteen? I was already a Fighter when I was eleven. What were you then? Let me tell you. Things change over time. Don't look down on the young and poor. Even if I, Xiao Yan, starve to death and beg on the street, I will never take anything from your Nalan family. Get out of here!"

"I'm saying, are you mentally ill or are you just confused because of anger?" Nalan Yanran held her fair forehead, pursed her lips, tilted her head slightly, and said helplessly: "Since Uncle Xiao learned about my identity, he roughly guessed the purpose of our trip."

"Your father and I have always wanted to do things as quietly as possible. In this way, Uncle Xiao has obtained the elixir for you that has a great chance of restoring your cultivation talent. And I have also canceled the engagement as I wished. Everyone is happy and no one is affected. Once you leave this house, no one will criticize the Xiao family."

"On the contrary, you, being so smart, said out loud something that Uncle Xiao and I were unwilling to say in public. For the sake of your ridiculous self-esteem, you made the matter bigger and bigger. Do you have to make my words so clear before you understand?"

"You" Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhan in astonishment. Xiao Zhan nodded helplessly.

Nalan Yanran ignored Xiao Yan and turned to look at Xiao Zhan, saying calmly: "Uncle Xiao, let's put today's matter aside for now. I will come to visit you next time when I am free."

After saying that, Nalan Yanran walked out of the hall without looking back.

Ge Ye gave a helpless smile and followed closely.

Seeing Nalan Yanran receding, the faces of everyone in the hall suddenly became interesting. While scanning the pills left by Ge Ye on the table, everyone stared at Xiao Yan as if he were a clown. After today, his father Xiao Zhan's face was completely disgraced by him.
