"Ahem." The white robed elder cleared his throat and stood up. Putting his hands together, he smiled: "Clan leader Xiao Zhan. The reason we came here for today is because we would like your help for something."
"Of course, Ge Ye, if you have any problems just let me know. If I can help you solve it, then I definitely wouldn't dare say no." To the visiting elder, Xiao Zhan did not refuse but since he did not know what the request was, he did not make any promises either.
"Hehe, Leader Xiao, do you know her?" Ge Ye smiled lightly and pointed to the girl next to him.
"Umm… I'm sorry, this girl is…" Xiao Zhan looked over the girl and awkwardly shook his head.
"Huh…Her name is Nalan Yanran."
"Uncle Xiao, I haven't come to pay my respect in a long time. It's my fault that you don't recognize me." Nalan Yanran sweetly said.
"Hehe, Yanran, I heard that you've become a student under Yun Jun. At the time, I thought that it was just a baseless rumour, but now I realize that it's actually true. What incredible talent you must have…" Xiao Zhan complimented.
"It was just good luck…" Smiling lightly, Nalan Yanran began to feel uncomfortable and lightly tugged Ge Ye's robe with her hand under the table.
"Hehe, Leader Xiao, the request that I have relates to Yanran. In addition, this was assigned by our faction leader…" Ge Ye kept his smile but when he mentioned the faction leader, he subconsciously lessened his smile and his face grew serious.
Like Ge Ye, Xiao Zhan stopped smiling. The faction leader of the Faction of Misty Clouds was one of the most important people in the entire Jia Ma Empire. Xiao Zhan, who was a small clan leader, wouldn't dare to provoke her. But with her power, what would she need Xiao Clan to help with? Ge Ye did say that it was related to Yanran, is it that?
A wandering thought crossed Xiao Zhan's mind causing the edge of his mouth to twitch slightly and his firm hand to start trembling, thankfully his hands were covered by his long sleeves. Taking care to push down the thought, Xiao Zhan shakily asked: "Mister Ge Ye, please do tell me what is the faction's request?"
Errr…" Ge Ye hesitated but he thought about how much the faction leader adored Yanran and thus, he clenched his teeth: "Leader Xiao, you know how strict the rules are in the faction. In addition, faction leader views Yanran very highly, in fact, faction leader is expecting Yanran to be the next faction leader. However, due to a special rule, future faction leaders cannot have a relation with another male before they become the official faction leader…"
Taking a breath, Ge Ye continued: "When our faction leader asked Yanran about it, she realized that Yanran and the Xiao Clan had a marriage proposal, therefore, faction leader asks for Leader Xiao to… to cancel this marriage."
"KA!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hands turned into a fine mist in an instant.
In the main hall, everyone was silent. The three clan elders were shocked by Ge Ye's words but soon afterwards, the elders glanced at Xiao Zhan with plain glee and ridicule.
"Hehe, how will you respond to this?" The three elders thought sinisterly.
Before he could respond however a different voice rang out.
"I accept happily." I hopped up from my chair and made my way over.
"Boy what do you think your doing?" demanded one of the elders.
"Shut the fuck up old man." A teacup from the table promptly smashes into his face.
everyone looked at me in shock.
I walked over to the young pink haired girl dazing her with my allure.
"Give me the marriage document to sign." I sneer at her.
she quickly pulls it out and I sign my name throwing it back at her.
"I agree with your thoughts on annulment however the way you did it makes you look like a cowardly piece of shit. using stronger forces to pressure us into agreeing what a joke." I say mocking her.
The strapping young lad stepped up. "Who do you think you are you piece of trash your nothing but a joke...." before he could finish he was blasted out the main hall door by my fist and flopped on the ground for a few seconds.
"Sorry about that there was just something about him that made me want to punch him in the face." I muttered.
the young girl looks at me In shock the young man is supposed to be much stronger than me.
My eyes turn towards the elder of the clan and he looks at me in confusion.
I move my eyes to the shocked elders and my father up front. "As of this moment I hereby dissolve my relationship with the Xiao clan as most of you are Trash like people." I sneer at their shocked face.
"As for you elder of the whatever bullshit sect. Getting bullied by a spoiled little brat to do her bidding how pitiful." with another fist he meets the same fate as the young master and is blasted out of the hall.
My eyes fall on the now horrified young girl.
"What a dissapointment. Going behind your families back and ruining their reputation all for your own greed." She flinches. "Pathetic coward couldn't even do it herself what a joke and your going to be a faction leader some day, pitiful?" I mutter walking past her.
Xun er has finally recovered from her shock and rushes up after me. "What are you doing?!" She asked shocked by my sudden change. "Diverting the damage to myself you do realize I just smashed an elder of the misty cloud sect and insulted their next faction right?"
Her brain clicks into gear. "Wait how can you defeat an elder with only 3rd level strength?" She asked.
"Don't you hide your power just the same? Now are you going to join me on an adventure or what?" I ask her with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course I'll go with who knows what kind of trouble you might get in and my clan will surely hear of you leaving and try to come fetch me." She says in a low voice.
I wave my hand towards her and some things get sucked out of her body. These would be tracking marks. I toss them onto the young master I beat up earlier and continue on my way.
"Well they can't find you now so let's go have some fun." I say with a smile.
"Wait!" there's an angry shout from behind me. I turn and see the princess from a few minutes ago looking at me angrily I just ignore her.
"Are you not going to answer her Xun Er asks me curiously.
"Do you speak to every piece of trash you pass in the street? Why would I talk to trash?" I say loud enough for the girl to hear.
She pulls out a sword to try to attack me but is smashed into the ground by spiritual pressure alone.
I look at the girl and chuckle "Go back to your clan you spoiled little brat." me and xun'er quickly leave the area.
This would be the biggest blow to the young girl ever, not only had her pride been crushed by someone her own age she had been called out about being a coward and threw away her grandfathers reputation.
