What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)
Chapter 5 God is unfair
Nalan Yanran proposed this three-year agreement, which was naturally Ge Ye's idea.
If Xiao Yan failed to defeat Nalan Yanran in three years, then Nalan Yanran would be able to marry Xiao Yan.
If Nalan Yanran lost to Xiao Yan, the engagement would be cancelled, but it would also prove that Xiao Yan was worthy of Nalan Yanran. When Nalan Yanran pursued him again, Xiao Yan could no longer use this as an excuse to refuse.
In other words, whether it was a win or a loss, it would not be a loss for Nalan Yanran.
Not only that, in order to ensure that she could marry Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran would definitely practice harder to ensure that she could defeat Xiao Yan, which would also be a good thing for Yunlan Sect.
Everyone understood the truth.
But why, it felt weird?
Xiao Zhan and the three elders frowned, with suspicion between their brows.
There was nothing wrong with the logic, but why was there an indescribable weirdness?
So Nalan Yanran was relying on Xiao Yan from the bottom of her heart?
Xiao Zhan, the father of Xiao Yan, frowned. He knew his son was excellent, but was he really so excellent that the young master of Yunlan Sect would marry him no matter what?
Moreover, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit had been stagnant for some reason, and no one could guarantee a solution in the future. If Xiao Yan really lost to Nalan Yanran, then Nalan Yanran would have married a useless husband. Didn't she even care about this?
And Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran quietly, his heart sinking slightly.
After thinking about the gains and losses, Xiao Yan clasped his fists again and responded solemnly.
"I accept this three-year agreement."
"Huh?! Why accept it!" Xiao Yan just finished speaking, and Xiao Mei exploded instantly, "It's obviously her who is shameless, why... Woo woo woo!!!"
"Can you talk less!!!"
Xiao Ning quickly came behind Xiao Mei with a cane and covered her mouth with one hand to stop her from talking nonsense.
And Nalan Yanran ignored Xiao Mei and looked at Ge Ye sideways.
"Elder Ge Ye, put down the gift. Xiao Yan may need it in the future."
After saying that, Nalan Yanran turned around and left the reception hall. Before leaving, she looked sideways at Xiao Xun'er.
Both of them saw the flame of a strong enemy in each other's eyes.
Nalan Yanran knew that Xiao Mei was just an impulsive and brainless little girl, and Xiao Xun'er was her real enemy.
"Niece Nalan, Elder Ge Ye, take care!"
Xiao Zhan and the three elders stood up to see the guests off. In this way, Yunlan Sect left Wutan City in a mighty manner, and Wutan City also returned to its former tranquility.
After Yunlan Sect left, everyone returned to the reception hall, and Xiao Ning also let go of his hand covering Xiao Mei's mouth, and then Xiao Mei stepped hard on his foot with her heel.
"Xiao! Ning! You are so bold! Dare to stop your aunt?!"
Xiao Mei grabbed Xiao Ning's collar and shouted angrily, and the second elder on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
"Let go! How can this be?!"
"Tsk!"
Seeing that her grandfather was really angry, Xiao Mei pushed away Xiao Ning who was smiling awkwardly, and then came to Xiao Yan and looked at him with a grudge.
"Cousin Xiao Yan! How could you agree to her? You will definitely not be able to beat her in three years if you are like this now!"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Xiao Xun'er finally couldn't help it, and hit Xiao Mei on the head with a hammer. This little girl is really straightforward and says whatever she wants. Isn't it obvious that Xiao Yan is a waste?
"But, but." Xiao Mei covered her head, looking aggrieved, "If cousin Xiao Yan really loses in three years, he will be kidnapped by Nalan Yanran!"
After saying that, Xiao Mei rushed directly into Xiao Yan's arms, hugged him tightly like a koala, and cried.
"Wow!!! No! I don't want cousin Xiao Yan to leave!!!"
"Ahahaha"
Seeing Xiao Mei clinging to him so much, Xiao Yan hugged her off him with a helpless smile, while Xiao Zhan looked at his son with guilt.
Regardless of Xiao Yan's own wishes, whether to cancel the engagement or get married, it all depends on the other party's thoughts, which makes Xiao Zhan, as a father, feel extremely uncomfortable.
It's true that Nalan Yanran wants to marry Xiao Yan. It sounds like the Xiao family is marrying up, and it's a happy event.
But Nalan Yanran's attitude is undoubtedly a metaphor that the Xiao family's wishes are insignificant.
Climbing up?
If the posture is suppressed so low and still can't raise the head, the Xiao family would rather not marry up!
"Sorry, Yan'er." Xiao Zhan's hands under his sleeves clenched tightly, "If the Xiao family hadn't fallen to this point, you wouldn't be forced to agree."
Just now, Nalan Yanran asked Xiao Yan if he dared to accept it, but could he not accept it in that situation?
It was no longer a question of whether Xiao Yan wanted to accept it or not, but he had to accept it.
The three-year agreement was the result of Nalan Yanran's initiative to give in.
If Xiao Yan did not accept it, then Nalan Yanran would definitely stay here and force Xiao Yan to marry her.
Such a situation would be very disadvantageous to both the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect.
The proud daughter of the Nalan family, the young master of the Yunlan Sect, wasted time in a small Xiao family in Wutan City, forcing a waste to marry her.
If this spreads out, the Nalan family will be fine. After all, they have a marriage contract with the Xiao family, and it makes sense logically, but the Yunlan Sect's face will be completely lost. It is even more unfavorable for the Xiao family. Those who know the inside story will think that the Xiao family is ignorant, and those who do not know the inside story will think that the Xiao family has no self-awareness and is not human inside and out.
Nalan Yanran's three-year agreement gave Xiao Yan no choice at all.
"Cousin Xiao Yan, it was difficult for me to interrupt just now, but as far as your brother is concerned, I think you can still accept it." Xiao Ning came up and put his arm on Xiao Yan's shoulder and said with a smile, "The Nalan family has a big family background, and Nalan Yanran is also a genius. She is such a proud daughter, she is also quite beautiful, and she is also the future head of the Yunlan Sect, no matter how you look at it, she is not at a loss~"
"Well, I think what cousin Xiao Ning said makes sense."
Xiao Yan nodded seriously, then put his hands on Xiao Ning's shoulders and turned him around, letting him see Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er, whose faces were darkened and exuding fighting spirit.
"Then you will have to bear the wrath of your two sisters."
Then Xiao Yan ignored Xiao Ning, who was screaming behind him, and turned to Xiao Zhan again.
He clasped his hands into fists and responded solemnly.
"Father, please don't blame yourself so much. Does the decline of the family happen in a day? The prosperity and decline of the family is a normal thing. What's more, the children of the Xiao family, including me, have received so much favor from the Xiao family, which is already worse than ordinary people. It’s so much better, why should you feel guilty about it?”
After listening to Xiao Yan's words of comfort, the three elders nodded repeatedly, and Xiao Zhan's eyes showed deep relief.
My son is really too sensible.
Sensible and heart-wrenching.
At this time, Xiao Zhan looked at the gifts Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye left behind when they left. One of the small square boxes was very conspicuous. He reached for it and opened it, and then took a breath.
"Is this... Qi Gathering Powder?!"
The three elders' eyes widened when they looked at a longan-sized elixir made of pure jasper in the box.
In their small Xiao family, they might not be able to find a serious pill for several years.
"As expected of the Yunlan Sect, his actions are magnanimous."
The first elder touched his beard lightly, and the second elder beside him said softly.
"Since it was given to Xiao Yan by the other party, let the clan leader keep it first."
After hearing what the second elder said, both the first elder and the second elder nodded in agreement.
A few years ago, when Xiao Yan was still in decline, he often taught Xiao family disciples in the training room many principles that were completely contrary to the law of the jungle.
Gradually, these principles also reached the ears of the three elders.
At first, the three elders sneered at Xiao Yan's knowledge, but at that time, Xiao Yan was a genius boy in the family, so they could not refute it and allowed him to promote his own truth.
During this period, as the family cohesion became stronger and stronger, the relationship between the children of the Xiao family became better and better, and the thoughts of the three elders were also subtly changed.
Finally, life became clear.
That's right, people only live so long in their lifetimes. What's the point of fighting with your family members all day long to the death?
Isn't it nice to have several generations living under the same roof now, with the children and grandchildren helping each other and respecting each other, and living a stable life?
What's more, with the talents of these people, who know it well, where can they climb further? Aren't you just being used as a stepping stone?
Nowadays, although the Xiao family is not a big family, they are still happy and comfortable in this small Wutan City. What's wrong with that?
As a result, since then, the three elders' utilitarianism has been greatly reduced, and their behavior has become more humane. They can often feel the warmth brought by their family. Even after Xiao Yan fell into despair, he still maintained this concept.
As the saying goes, everything thrives when your family is in harmony!
And this is all thanks to Xiao Yan.
"Three elders, now that Xiao Yan is like this, such an expensive thing should be given to the rookie in the family. You can't treat me with special favors just because I am the son of the head of the Xiao family. If this is the case, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the other children of the Xiao family. The Xiao family is at odds."
However, Xiao Yan refused sharply, making the three elders slightly startled, with some helplessness on their faces.
"I don't think anyone else would have a problem with it."
That's right, others will definitely not have any objections.
The children of the Xiao family are all headed by Xiao Yan, and no one will be dissatisfied even if Xiao Yan monopolizes the favor.
What's more, this was originally given to Xiao Yan, and he has exclusive power.
"Everyone has no opinion because of their tolerance, but I can never push myself too far because of my arrogance. Therefore, Xiao Yan cannot afford this Qi Gathering Powder." Xiao Yan did not give the three elders a chance to refute, and continued Said: "Father, the three elders, the training of the family's children has not yet ended, Xiao Yan will retire first and go to supervise."
"Cousin Xiao Yan! Wait for me!"
After saying that, Xiao Yan turned around and left the reception hall, and Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er quickly followed.
Looking at Xiao Yan leaving, the three elders all let out long sighs.
"God is unfair."
Xiao Zhan clenched his fists tightly, with infinite sadness in his eyes.
However, no one, including the great elder, his own grandfather, ignored the mess of Xiao Ning who was brutally beaten by Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er in a mixed doubles match at the door of the reception hall.
There's nothing I can do about it, it's my fault!
