Chapter 66 - Three year agreement ( 3 )

Even though Xiao Yan had endured countless taunts over the past three years, even he had a limit. Nalan Yanran's actions had roughly stepped on the final shred of dignity hidden deep within Xiao Yan's heart.

"I…I want to kill you!" Even though his teeth were clattering, Xiao Yan's words had an unmistakable killing intent to them! His hands were curled into fists and within the his black pupils, furious flames burned.

Ahh…" Seeing the vicious face of the young man, Yanran stepped backwards.

"Yan Er, you're being rude!" At the top of the hall, Xiao Zhan was shocked by the reaction of Xiao Yan and hurriedly quieted Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan! Even though I don't know why my actions have infuriated you thus far, but, you… you should still release the marriage!" Slowly letting out a breath, Nalan Yanran pushed her fear and stiffened her face.

"Nalan Yanran, you don't need to act all high and mighty. The reason behind you releasing this marriage is because you don't think that I, Xiao Yan, a near cripple, match you, a genius. Forgive me for putting things plainly. Besides your beauty, I don't care about anything else of yours! The Faction of Misty Clouds is very strong, I'll admit that. But I am young! I have lots of time. When I was twelve, I was about to be promoted to Dou Shi, but you, Nalan Yanran, when you were twelve, how many Duan Qi did you have? You're right, I might be crippled right now, but since I created miracles three years ago, why do you think that I can't repeat such miracles in the future? Why do you think that I can't become the genius that I once was?" Facing the aggressive stance, Xiao Yan finally erupted like a volcano. His face became completely serious and his words shocked everyone in the main hall. Who would have thought that the quiet young man possessed such a sharp tongue!

Nalan Yanran's mouth twitched. Even though she was extremely pissed at Xiao Yan, she couldn't find words to argue against his statements. Xiao Yan's words were truth; even though he was crippled now, he was a Dou Zhe peak back when he was twelve years old. But Nalan Yanran was only Eight Duan Qi at that time…

Nalan Yanran regained her spirit somehow and spoke, "I know it might be not be good thing for me break this engagement right now and it might be humiliating to you. So, I will give you a chance, here in the witness of everyone, I will make a three year agreement with you. If you can defeat me three years later then I am at your disposal and if I will defeat you, you will obediently sign the divorce."

"Three years is three years. I Xiao Yan agreed to fight with you three years later." Xiao Yan didn't back down and immediately promised Nalan Yanran.

"And"

"Lady Nalan, because of Grandfather Nalan, I'll give you some advice. Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi, don't you dare bully me because I'm poor now." Xiao Yan's tough words made Nalan stiffen.

"Yes! What a great saying, don't you dare bully me because I'm poor now! My son can't possibly be ordinary!" At the end of the hall, Xiao Zhan's eyes were lit with vigor and his heavy palms slammed against the table, causing tea to splatter everywhere.

Looking at the ashen face of the girl, Xiao Yan ridiculed: "Also, it won't take three years! I wouldn't want you even if you were begging me to become my wife!" After saying that, Xiao Yan ignored the frozen face of Yanran and turned around. Quickly walking forward to a table, he took out a paper and started to write!

The ink slowly dropped onto the paper, and finally, his pen stopped moving.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's right hand reached for a short sword on the desk and pointed the sharp blade at his left hand. As soon as readied the sword, he firmly drew blood from his left hand.

His bloodied hand pressed down on the white paper, leaving a glaring red mark.

Lightly picking up the contract, Xiao Yan laughed, a laugh of victory. When he walked past Yanran, he smashed the contract on the table.

"Don't you dare think that I, Xiao Yan, think highly of some genius wife. This contract, isn't a contract to release the marriage but rather, I am divorcing you from the Xiao Clan! From now on, you, Nalan Yanran, have no relations with the Xiao Clan!"

"You… You dare divorce me?" Looking at the bloody contract on the table, Nalan Yanran's eyes opened wide in disbelief. With her beauty, talent and background, to have been divorced by a small clan like Xiao Clan.

"Yes, I dare. As for the three year agreement, I will naturally follow, now you can get out of here." Xiao Yan had a hideous face while speaking.

"Xiao Yan it's not a good thing for you to do this." At some point of Xiao Feng had stood in front of Nalan Yanran and took the divorce paper from her hands.

"What do you want to say, Xiao Feng." Xiao Yan's face turned cold when he looked at Xiao Feng.

"Do you also want to ridicule me for my incompetence and interfere in this matter." Xiao Yan with twisted face spoke in very terrifying tone.

Although in the past three years, he never had any contact with Xiao Feng and Xiao Feng never once ridiculed him. But since he was a child, he had hatred against Xiao Feng, also his dream lover was snatched by Xiao Feng. So, naturally Xiao Yan didn't give him a good face.

Nalan Yanran on other hand was also puzzled. She didn't know why Xiao Feng took the divorce paper from her.

Xiao Feng whispered something in Xiao Yan's ears, then gave him the divorce paper and left.

Nalan Yanran looked at inexplicable behaviour with doubt on her face.

"Miss Nalan, sorry for the rude behaviour. Now, I am taking back this divorce paper." Xiao Yan apologized to Nalan Yanran. His eyes were bloodshot, his fist were clenched and his heart was full of unwillgness. If it weren't for what Xiao Feng said and he didn't want to offend the Misty Cloud Sect and bring disaster on his family because of himself, Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to endure humiliation of apologizing.

Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan who apologized to her and didn't understand what was going on.

"Three years... three years later I will definitely defeat you." Xiao Yan spoke with unwillingness and hatred.

Then, he walked out of the main hall.

Xiao Yan who walked out of the main hall, leaving desolate and lonely back.

Nalan Yanran's still didn't react to sudden change and only a while later her small mouth opened but no sound came out. She stared at the disappearing back of Xiao Yan and then shook her head.

Anyway she had already got what she wanted and she believed that Xiao Yan will never be able to defeat her.

As for the psychology of Xiao Yan she didn't bother to think about it.

"Ahem, since your goal has been accomplished, please leave now." Looking at the receding young man, even though Xiao Zhan's face was impassive, the hands inside of his sleeve curled into fists so tight that the fingers became a pale white.

"Uncle Xiao, I apologize for today's event. If you have time in the future, make sure to come visit the Nalan Clan!" Lightly bowing to the impassive Xiao Zhan, Nalan Yanran also didn't want to stay. She quickly stood up and went towards the door of the main hall. Behind her, Ge Ye and the handsome young man quickly followed her.

Before walking out, she took a glance at Xiao Feng then walked out.

"It seems favourability has increased but her temper still needs to be polished. It's not a good thing to be arrogant." Xiao Feng put his hands in the chin in deep thought.

"Take the Qi Gathering Powder!" Waving his hand, Xiao Zhan threw the jade box on the table at them.

Ge Ye quickly caught the falling box and bitterly smiled while placing the box within his ring.

Then, he walked out with a bitter face he walked out of Xiao family.
