Chapter 7: The Qi Gathering Powder that Turns From an Apology Into a Meeting Gift
Seeing Xiao Yuan being so sensible, Nalan Yanran felt even more embarrassed.
At this moment, she was already thinking, how about giving him more compensation? However, he couldn't use the things she could give him!
"But Miss Nalan, our two families are friends after all, so Xiao Yuan has another unwelcome request about the cancellation of the engagement."
Nalan Yanran suddenly became alert when she heard this, thinking that Xiao Yuan was going to go back on his word.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Nalan, this engagement should be cancelled, but for the Xiao family, if you, the woman, cancel the engagement, it's okay for me to lose some face. We have been used to it for so many years.
But my father, as the head of the Xiao family, may lose face, so I hope that this engagement can be postponed for another three years. At that time, Xiao Yuan will bring the original engagement to the door and cancel the engagement with Miss Nalan, how about it?"
Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice with a burning look.
Nalan Yanran frowned upon hearing this. Although before coming here, she did intend to use her power to suppress others according to the worst-case scenario.
But now that Xiao Yuan has said this, even she can't bear it.
It seems that she acted rashly and didn't consider that the consequences of doing so would be so serious.
Seeing Nalan Yanran hesitate, Xiao Yuan's expression suddenly dimmed: "Forget it, since Miss Nalan doesn't want to, then forget it. Xiao Yuan is willing to cancel the engagement with Miss Nalan. I just hope that Miss Nalan will not make a big fuss about this matter for the sake of the relationship between the two families. Just pretend that there has never been an engagement between you and me."
Nalan Yanran is a 14-year-old girl who is busy practicing fighting spirit and fighting skills every day. When has she ever seen such a scene?
For a moment, she was actually a little at a loss.
A sense of guilt rose in her heart: Am I going too far by doing this? He looks so pitiful! He can't practice, and I don't know how much he has suffered over the years. I still treat him like this, I really deserve to die!
"Oh, no, I don't mean to refuse you! It's just three years, no problem!"
Nalan Yanran said hurriedly with a flustered look on her face.
"Miss Nalan, don't force yourself."
Xiao Yuan was still preparing to give Nalan Yanran a little more strength, to show him the latest version of the formula for solving problems on Blue Star, and to say "agreeing does not mean agreeing", but Nalan Yanran continued:
"It was indeed Yanran who was reckless this time. When I came here, the teacher asked me to bring a Qi Gathering Powder as an apology. I will let Uncle Ge give it to you later."
Xiao Yuan was stunned at first, and then shook his head: "Miss Nalan's kindness, I appreciate it, but Xiao Mou absolutely cannot accept this Qi Gathering Powder. The marriage contract should have been resolved in this way, and from now on, you and I owe each other nothing. There is no connection anymore, how can Miss Nalan apologize? "
Seeing this, Nalan Yanran felt that the handsome young man in front of her must be self-esteem, unwilling to accept and leave. After thinking for a while, her smart eyes turned slightly, and suddenly whispered:
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter!"
"By the way, Miss Nalan, do you have paper and pen? Let's write a document here today, and you and I will keep a copy. If there is any change in the future, Xiao can't go to Nalan Mansion on time, this document can also be used as a certificate to cancel the engagement. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "This is exactly what should be done," and then continued.
"Yes."
In fact, Nalan Yanran was a little worried that Xiao Yuan would change his mind, but she was embarrassed to ask. When she heard this, she immediately took out a paper and pen from her ring and handed it to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan took the paper and pen, smiled and nodded, and then walked to a nearby pavilion, wrote quickly, and wrote a document.
The ink falls, the pen stops!
Immediately, Xiao Yuan bit his right middle finger and pressed two blood-red handprints on the two documents.
Nalan Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Seeing Xiao Yuan's eyes looking at her, she naturally did not hesitate at all. She drew the long sword from her waist, gently pricked her fingertips, and pressed her own handprint next to Xiao Yuan's handprint.
"?"
Then, she saw Xiao Yuan took out the golden wound medicine, applied it on her fingertips, and then handed the medicine bottle to her.
Nalan Yanran wanted to say that this was not necessary for such a small injury, but the matter had been settled, so there was no need to offend others, so she also took the medicine bottle and applied the medicine to herself.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had already put away his documents, and picked up another one and handed it to Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran took the document and put it into the ring. After hesitating for a while, she asked:
"Mr. Xiao, I would like to ask why you can't practice? You know, my teacher is a Douhuang strongman, and Dan Wang Guhe is also an honorary elder of our Yunlan Sect. Maybe they can help you solve the problem of not being able to practice."
"Hehe, thank you Miss Nalan for your kindness, but my body can't accommodate Dou Qi, let alone condense Dou Qi cyclone. It's probably a congenital physical problem, but I've gotten used to it over the years."
Xiao Yuan shook his head regretfully, and then changed the subject:
"To be honest, I actually have someone I like, but I haven't confessed to her yet. Compared to Miss Nalan, who is a gifted girl, her talent is very ordinary, but she is more suitable for me."
Nalan Yanran felt more relieved now, and even thought that although she and Xiao Yuan were not destined to be together, they could still be friends.
"Okay, then I wish you success."
Nalan Yanran was very curious about Xiao Yuan's favorite person. After all, she also wanted to see which woman would end up with such a handsome man. However, she was too embarrassed to ask about this, so she had to say a blessing awkwardly.
"Haha, then I'll borrow Miss Nalan's good words. Since the matter has been finalized, why don't you and I go back first? Everyone is still waiting in the hall."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said immediately.
"Well, okay."
Nalan Yanran nodded when he heard it.
Then, the two of them quickly returned to the hall.
At this moment, everyone in the reception hall had been waiting impatiently. After all, after the two parties left, Ge Ye and Xiao Zhan had nothing to talk about, so the atmosphere was naturally much quieter.
As soon as Xiao Yuan entered the hall, he saw Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er looking at him with concern.
He smiled confidently at the two of them, then walked over and sat down.
Nalan Yanran took a few steps forward, bowed to Xiao Zhan, and then said, "Uncle Xiao, Yanran hasn't visited for many years, I really feel sorry, I have prepared some small gifts, and I hope Uncle Xiao can accept them."
After that, she cast her eyes on Ge Ye.
When Ge Ye heard Nalan Yanran's words, he knew that the biggest purpose of this trip had been achieved. It seemed that the communication process between the young master and the young master of the Xiao family was also quite pleasant. The original apology has now become a meeting gift.
So, he reached out and wiped a ring on his finger, and a green ancient jade box appeared out of thin air in his hand...
He opened the box carefully, and a strange fragrance immediately filled the hall, and everyone who smelled it felt refreshed.
The three elders curiously stretched their heads and looked into the jade box. Their bodies shook violently, and they exclaimed in surprise: "Gathering Qi Powder?"
