Chapter 159 The Unchangeable Breakup Scene
"Cousin Xiao Yan, do you still remember what happened between us when we were four to six years old?" After a long silence, Xun'er seemed to have thought of something, turned her head, and asked Xiao Yan.
"Four to six years old?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously covered his lower body.
Other things may be forgotten as time goes by, but one thing that happened when he was four years old was enough to become his lingering nightmare.
That year, he was four years old, and Xun'er had just arrived at the Xiao family. As the saying goes, a man who is not romantic has wasted his youth.
At first sight, Xiao Yan fell in love with this little Lolita who looked like a person in a painting, and he took action at night.
But just when he wanted to leave a deep impression on Xun'er under the pretext of 'testing whether fighting spirit is real and nourishing the little Lolita's body', this petite and frail little Lolita, in his eyes, showed a strength that ordinary people could hardly predict and beat him up. Not only did he break three ribs, but he was also kicked several times in the lower body, intentionally or unintentionally, causing him to urinate blood for more than half a month.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is often the best.
After his injury healed, he was still unwilling to give up and went to try to gain favor every few days.
But Xun'er acted unexpectedly strong, like a boy, and beat up almost all the opposite sex in the Xiao family who tried to get close to her, including him. She would beat up any man who came within three meters of her every time she saw him.
After two years, Xun'er was nicknamed a little devil in the Xiao family. Some of the young men in the Xiao family who coveted Xun'er's cute appearance were afraid of Xun'er's methods and chose to retreat.
Only Xiao Yan persisted. Getting beaten not only did not make him give up but instead aroused his competitive spirit. Every time after recovered from his injuries, he would go to improve his favorability.
It wasn't until I was six years old that things started to change.
That year, Xun'er stayed alone in the back mountain of the Xiao family and cried. She cried very sadly as if she had lost something precious.
Xiao Yan was hiding behind a huge rock, watching him silently.
As a time traveler from Blue Star, he knew that when a girl was sad, her defenses were often at their weakest. So he followed the plot in the TV series on Blue Star in his previous life and went to comfort her, although he was still beaten up.
But after waking up the next day, Xun'er seemed to have changed. She was no longer so strong and no longer liked to beat people. Instead, she gave people the feeling of being approachable and a lady from a noble family.
Some people who had been beaten too many times by Xun'er were afraid of the female devil's tricks and dared not get close to her.
Xiao Yan, who had seen Xun'er cry, was the only one who refused to believe it. After several years of perseverance, the relationship between the two finally became closer, until they called each other brother and sister.
Just when Xiao Yan was lost in thought, Xun'er's voice rang out again, "Cousin Xiao Yan?"
"Oh." Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head guiltily after being awakened by Xun'er, and laughed dryly: "I was too young at that time, I don't remember it."
A hint of doubt flashed through Xun'er's mind, but she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded slightly and turned her gaze back to the book.
Looking at Xun'er's increasingly pretty face, Xiao Yan marveled at her beauty and swallowed hard, secretly cursing himself for being an idiot. He had finally managed to bring the two of them closer, but because of this so-called face, the girl became distant from him.
Perhaps to divert attention, or to find a topic to talk about, Xiao Yan looked at the strange old man and young girl sitting at the top, and whispered to Xun'er beside him: "Xun'er, do you know who the two new guests are? The old man's cultivation is higher than my father's."
Hearing this, Xun'er also became interested. If possible, she didn't want Nalan Yanran to break off the engagement, because that way there would be one less person to bother Xiao Se in the future. She smiled and said, "Look at the colorful silver swords on their sleeves."
"Are they from the Yunlan Sect?" The seven-colored silver sword is the symbol of the Yunlan Sect. Almost everyone in the Jia Ma Empire knows it, so after Xun'er reminded him, Xiao Yan recognized it immediately.
"The old man is Ge Ye, the elder of Yunlan Sect, and the girl is the disciple of Yun Yun, the leader of Yunlan Sect. I think you should be familiar with her name, Nalan Yanran." Xun'er said with a smile.
"Nalan Yanran." Xiao Yan was startled and frowned, then continued to ask, "What are they doing here?"
"Four years ago, Nalan Yanran was spotted by Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, and was accepted as a disciple. During this period, Nalan Yanran showed an excellent talent for cultivation. This made Yun Yun love her even more. When a person can change her destiny, she will choose to erase the things she doesn't like. Unfortunately, cousin Xiao Yan is the thing she dislikes the most." Xun'er said lightly.
"So she's here to break off the engagement?" Xiao Yan asked angrily.
Xun'er nodded slowly and said calmly, "It's almost right."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face turned pale. If the engagement was broken off, then he, Xiao Yan, would become a laughingstock in the whole world.
"Damn it... If I were a fighting master now, how dare she bully me like this." After a low curse, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and began his usual fist-clenching and teeth-gritting.
"Cough" Ge Ye coughed lightly, stood up, bowed to Xiao Zhan, and smiled, "Chief Xiao, I came to the Xiao family this time to ask for something."
"Elder Ge, just say it directly. If Xiao Zhan can do it, he will not refuse." The other party was an elder of the Yunlan Sect, and he was just the patriarch of a small family. It was not easy to do what the elder of the Yunlan Sect asked him to do, so he did not dare to be so confident.
Ge Ye looked around, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "May I have a moment to talk with you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was slightly startled. Just as he was about to agree, the three Xiao family elders who were sitting nearby, worried that Xiao Zhan would be left behind if he built a good relationship with Ge Ye, immediately said with a smile: "Elder Ge Ye, there is no need to do this. Everyone present is the backbone of our Xiao family. If you have something important to say, just tell us. Our Xiao family will do our best to do it."
Ge Ye did not answer. He looked at Xiao Zhan and waited quietly for his answer.
He was asked by Nalan Jie to accompany Nalan Yanran to break off the engagement. Then, Yun Yun agreed. Nalan Jie had said before that he must bring up the matter with Xiao Zhan in private. Now that the situation was getting out of control, he simply gave the decision to Xiao Zhan.
"This..." Ge Ye's gaze suddenly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, including the three elders of the Xiao family, to Xiao Zhan, which made him feel a little uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Zhan decided that he would regret it for the rest of his life: "Elder Ge, please tell me that there are no outsiders here."
Xiao Zhan's cowardice made Ge Ye's eyes flash with deep disappointment. He forced a smile on his old face and pointed at the girl beside him: "Chief Xiao, do you know who she is?"
"Angry Xiao Zhan is short-sighted. Who is this lady..." Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned. Then he looked Nalan Yanran up and down and shook his head awkwardly.
"Niece Nalan Yanran, nice to meet Uncle Xiao."
