Chapter 130: Even in Front of Your Yunlan Leader, I Dare to Say This!
"Miss Nalan, it's important to think carefully before you speak and act. If you really do that, what will happen to the reputation of the Xiao family?"
Xiao Ze's words left Nalan Yanran stunned. She soon realized that if she forced the annulment of the engagement, it would be like slapping the Xiao family in the face. If this got out, it would probably become a scandal throughout the empire.
Nalan Yanran took a deep breath, influenced by Xiao Ze's calm attitude from the beginning. She didn't impulsively make the three-year promise as in the original story, also because Xiao Yan wasn't present, and without him, making that promise made no sense.
"I'm sorry, that was a mistake on my part."
"But you keep telling me to talk to Xiao Yan, and never tell me where he is. Is that appropriate?"
Xiao Ze remained silent for a moment. "Then, how about this? In three years, I'll find my third brother and inform him of your intentions. Then, he'll come to talk to you in person. How does that sound?"
"Wait three years for an uncertain outcome?" Nalan Yanran was annoyed to see that Xiao Ze wasn't giving concrete answers.
"Yes, but that shouldn't be a big problem for you, right?"
Xiao Ze frowned, not believing that Nalan Yanran could become the Yunlan heir in three years.
"Do you really think this engagement will prevent you from becoming the Yunlan heir in three years?"
"How foolish of me to seriously talk to you. You represent nothing, and what you say doesn't affect Xiao Yan."
Nalan Yanran stood up angrily. "I just want to annul the engagement as soon as possible, or don't blame me for taking extreme measures."
"Xiao Ze, if you really can't decide anything, why don't you let your brother talk to us?"
Ge Ye, trying to ease the tension, intervened.
"Well... it seems we can't reach an agreement." Xiao Ze shook his head. "But I advise you to think carefully before acting, so as not to do something that embarrasses both parties. After all, it's better to have a friend than an enemy."
"Today, if you announce the annulment of the engagement and humiliate the Xiao family, I can't guarantee what will happen tomorrow."
Ge Ye frowned. "Xiao Ze, are you threatening us?"
"Hehe, if you really insist on doing it, then consider it a threat."
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but laugh. Her annoyance turned into mockery.
"A threat? With the Xiao family? Are they worthy?"
"That's right, Xiao Ze. Behind Nalan is not just the Nalan family, but also Yunlan." Ge Ye added, "A single expert from the Nalan family is already too much for the Xiao family to handle, let alone our leader Yun Yun."
"I already said, if you want to annul the engagement, do it privately. An excuse will suffice for both families not to suffer."
Xiao Ze responded firmly, "But if you insist on doing it publicly, we'll break ties, and it will be unpleasant."
"I would say this even in front of Yun Yun!"
As he finished speaking, Xiao Ze released a powerful aura. Ge Ye, under this pressure, immediately fell into a chair, sweating profusely.
"A... a Dou Huang expert!"
In Xiao Ze, Ge Ye felt an energy comparable to Yun Yun's. Nalan Yanran, though more stable, also felt overwhelmed, looking at Xiao Ze in astonishment.
Looking at this young man, younger than her, Nalan Yanran was stupefied. A Dou Huang expert in his teens. No wonder he spoke like this.
"I've said what I needed to say. I hope Nalan Yanran doesn't bring trouble to the Nalan family and Yunlan."
Xiao Ze turned and left the meeting room, leaving Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran in shock.
Ge Ye, trembling, wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was ridiculous to have threatened a Dou Huang expert.
Nalan Yanran, still in shock, realized that her talents were nothing compared to Xiao Ze. Facing a Dou Huang wasn't something the Nalan clan could handle.
"Ge Ye, we need to reconsider this."
"Maybe we should follow Xiao Ze's advice and wait three years. If Xiao Yan doesn't appear, the engagement will expire."
Nalan Yanran looked at the door, with a bitter smile. "That seems the best. We can't face a Dou Huang, not even my master would want to antagonize one."
"Three years... I hope there is a good outcome."
Nalan Yanran left the room with Xiao Ze's image etched in her mind, unable to understand how someone so young could be so powerful.
Ge Ye, although he heard Xiao Ze, didn't try to correct his words. It was clear that he would soon reach a new level.
That same day, Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye left Wutan City, fearful of provoking Xiao Ze's anger. As they left, Nalan Yanran looked at the city one last time, understanding that she couldn't compare to a Dou Huang.
"Yanran, let's go."
"Yes."
Outside the city, Xiao Ze watched them leave. There was no three-year agreement. When he meets his brother, he'll tell him. Xiao Yan will know what to do.
"It's time to find a place to advance to Dou Huang level."
Remembering Ya Fei's information, Xiao Ze returned to the city.
