Chapter 4 A Different Three-Year Agreement
Xiao Yan was a human being in two generations, with the experience of an adult and the observation ability provided by his strong soul power.
He could tell that Nalan Yanran and Zhang Yuan had known each other for a long time, and Nalan Yanran was obviously interested in his cousin.
If the marriage contract is transferred to Zhang Yuan and Nalan Yanran, the Xiao family and Nalan family can save their reputation instead of becoming enemies, not to mention that there is a Yunlan Sect and Master Douhuang behind Nalan Yanran.
With Zhang Yuan's talent, he is more than enough to match Nalan Yanran, and the Yunlan Sect and the Nalan family will definitely have no problem with it.
Everyone was happy, but he, a cripple who had lost all his talents, lost face.
But in the past three years, the Xiao family and Zhang Yuan have spent a lot of resources on him, a waste, and they have never had any objections. Now that he has made a small sacrifice, what does it mean?
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Yuan gave Xiao Yan a roasted chestnut.
If he dared to agree now, Xun'er would probably be the first to go berserk, not to mention that it would be difficult to win over a certain Queen's wife who is a good wife, and a certain poisonous woman who would be difficult to explain.
This Bai Fumei, who is the top in Dou Qi Continent, was accidentally acquired by him when he was a child. There is no reason to give up, right?
"How can an engagement between a big family be a piece of cake?" After finding a high-sounding reason, Zhang Yuan said sternly: "Nalan Yanran came with great fanfare, so this matter must not be hidden."
"The way I see it, there are still three years until you turn eighteen. Then you will have a fight at Nalan's house in the imperial capital."
"If Nalan Yanran wins, the marriage will be dissolved naturally, but she will still have to compensate the Xiao family for today's reckless behavior."
"If Brother Yan wins, you will be able to wash away today's humiliation. Nalan Yanran will double the compensation to the Xiao family."
"What do you think?"
He was afraid that Xiao Yan would say something that would bring him Shura Field, so he could only do it for him.
"Wait a moment!"
Before Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran could speak, Ge Ye spoke first and said, "Little friend, Miss Yanran is a disciple of my Yunlan Sect after all, so"
"So what?" Before Ge Ye could say anything, Zhang Yuan interrupted directly: "The Jiama Empire is not named Yun. No matter how powerful your Yunlan Sect is, it is just a subsidiary sect within the empire."
"Although the Xiao family has declined, it was still a Douwang family back then. The Yunlan Sect was not involved in the marriage with the Nalan family. Now you are not qualified to interfere in the affairs between the two families. We are not asking for Nalan Yanran's life."
Zhang Yuan had long been thinking of ways to resolve the conflict between the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family to avoid becoming mortal enemies and causing harm to his own side.
The Soul Palace behind Yunlan Sect is easy to handle, but as long as Yunshan knows that he is being used, he will immediately fall out.
Of course, just in case, he needed some help, so he joined the Garma Empire's military.
At least for now, the royal family is still the master of the empire.
"Yes." Ge Ye wanted to say something more, but Nalan Yanran interrupted him and said: "Okay, I agree to this matter. I am indeed reckless today. There is no problem with Brother Zhang's proposal. This matter is indeed related to Yun It doesn’t matter to Lan Zong, we will fight at Nalan’s house when the time comes, and I will compensate you no matter whether you win or lose.”
All the parties involved said so, and Ge Ye couldn't say anything.
With his strength and identity, he was not qualified to say anything.
"Wait, I have an opinion." Xiao Yan raised his hand and said speechlessly: "Cousin, I think you want to harm me. In my current situation, how can I win against her in three years?"
Because of Zhang Yuan's participation, the situation at the scene changed a lot, and Xiao Yan was not so angry that he shouted: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi."
He knew his situation, so he wouldn't brag about "Haikou" in a hurry.
"You dare to say that to me, or I'll beat you up like I did when I was a kid." Zhang Yuan said angrily.
Emperor Yan and Brother Yan must be beaten since childhood, so that they will not rebel in the future.
"I'm obviously telling the truth." Xiao Yan argued.
"Do you think I would issue this challenge to you if I wasn't sure that I could cure your inability to practice?" Zhang Yuan asked.
Click!
Xiao Zhan crushed the armrest of the chair and asked with excitement, "Yuan'er, you, can you cure Yan'er?"
Several elders of the Xiao family and a group of juniors also looked at Zhang Yuan expectantly, and Xiao Yan himself was trembling with excitement.
"Before I came back, I was only three-point sure. Now I'm probably nine-point sure." Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I came back just for this. I didn't expect to be able to join in the fun."
"Okay, I'll accept the three-year appointment." Xiao Yan said, then grabbed Zhang Yuan's wrist: "Cousin, let's go."
As an earth traveler, with the opportunity to gain great power, he is more eager to practice than ordinary people.
He had already had enough of the useless days.
"Okay." Zhang Yuan also knew how hard Xiao Yan endured, so he did not refuse, but said to Xiao Zhan: "Uncle, I'll leave this to you."
"You go ahead, my uncle and I will take care of the matters here." Xiao Zhan nodded immediately.
Zhang Yuan turned to look at Xun'er again, nodded and followed Xiao Yan away.
"Guys, our Xiao family is small, so we won't leave you to eat simple meals."
After Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yan left, Xiao Zhan directly issued an order to expel the Yunlan Sect and his party.
This was so much bullying that he didn't even want to pretend to be polite on the surface.
Just like Zhang Yuan said, normal people would be polite first and then attack, but the Yunlan Sect was first soldiers and then polite, which shows their arrogance.
This Jia Ma Empire does not have the surname Yun.
"Uncle Xiao, my niece apologizes for what happened today. I will visit you again in three years with the gifts I owe." Nalan Yanran said to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan wanted to say something harsh, but what Xiao Yan could see could not be hidden from his eyes.
Thinking of Zhang Yuan, he just closed his eyes and chose to turn a blind eye.
Seeing this, Nalan Yanran bowed again, then called Ge Ye and others, and walked briskly towards the door.
Today she did act rashly because of her youth, but at least her goal was achieved successfully, and she also saw the person she had been thinking about for half a year.
After three years, she will regain her freedom and can pursue the life she wants.
On the other side, Xiao Yan was gossiping to Zhang Yuan, and asked, "Cousin, what is your relationship with that Nalan Yanran?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said lightly, "After leaving the Xiao family two years ago, my eldest brother and second brother went to Shimo City to set up a mercenary group, thinking that if you can't recover your talent, you can also build a foundation for you."
"After I experienced some places, I chose to join the imperial military, because it is the best place to train people, and as long as you get enough military merits, you can exchange for skills, elixirs, and everything I want."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately thought of the second-grade alchemist who came to check on his physical condition half a year ago, and his heart was moved.
He was a visitor from Earth who was reborn with memories. At first, he had a kind of scrutiny and vigilance towards this world.
But his father Xiao Zhan, his brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and his cousin Zhang Yuan, the four of them, made him feel warmed by family affection and began to accept this world.
Especially after he became a waste, the four of them treated him better, which warmed his heart and made him determined to repay them as much as he could.
In the past, he could only think about it, but if his talent could be restored, he would become the strongest step by step, and then bring his family to heaven!
Zhang Yuan didn't know what Xiao Yan was thinking, and continued: "Half a year ago, Qingshi Town near the Magic Beast Mountain Range encountered a beast tide. I was ordered to lead people to clear the tributaries, and during this period, I assisted several Yunlan Sect disciples who came out to train."
"The leader of this group of disciples is called Yun Yan. She is the weakest but the leader of these disciples. Later, she followed my command for a period of time. That Yun Yan is Nalan Yanran."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan winked and said: "Hero saves beauty, did anything happen to you?"
"No." Zhang Yuan shook his head.
At that time, he was busy getting stronger and had no intention of picking up girls.
As for whether Nalan Yanran had any special ideas, it had nothing to do with him.
"Cousin, you are a little unromantic. In my opinion, Nalan Yanran is probably interested in you. Look at how nervous she was just now." Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will show mercy in three years and won't let Nalan Yanran lose too badly."
Zhang Yuan: ""
As expected of you, you are such a king. You are pretending to be so arrogant before your talent is restored.
"Then why don't I help you solve your physical problems in three years, so that you don't have to let Nalan Yanran down." Zhang Yuan said in a teasing tone.
"Cousin~" Xiao Yan deliberately said in a pretentious tone.
Zhang Yuan felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he would carry a photo stone with him in the future to record the dark history of the future Yan Emperor.
"Don't be disgusting, close the door, and start solving your problems." Zhang Yuan said.
He and Xiao Yan had come to a secret room, which was a training room built by the Xiao family. Zhang Yuan was naturally qualified to use it.
"Understood." Xiao Yan's expression became serious and he closed the door of the secret room.
Then he sat opposite Zhang Yuan, waiting for his move.
Zhang Yuan did nothing, but said: "Throw away the ring that your aunt left for you."
Xiao Yan was stunned, but out of trust in Zhang Yuan, he did as he was told and threw the ring away.
Zhang Yuan stood in front of Xiao Yan and said to the ring: "You are a cunning guy. You have absorbed my cousin's fighting spirit for three years. Why don't you come out now?"
Xiao Yan hid behind Zhang Yuan and looked at the ancient ring with vigilance.
"Interesting."
The ancient ring slowly floated in the air, and a transparent old man's figure appeared in it with a smile on his face.
Xiao Yan's pupils shrank and he cursed: "Fuck, Liao Zhai? I actually raised a ghost, and it's not a beautiful ghost, but an old ghost. I am not clean anymore."
Zhang Yuan: ""
Yao Chen: ""
