Chapter 7: From Apology to Meeting Gift
Seeing Xiao Yuan being so sensible, Nalan Yanran felt even more embarrassed.
At this moment, She was already thinking in her heart, how about giving him some 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, as the woman, willbe the one to cancel the engagement, they will lose some face. It's okay. We have been used to it for so many years.
But my father, as the head of the Xiao family, would be embarrassed, so I hope the engagement can be postponed for another three years.
By then, Xiao Yuan will bring the original engagement to the door and cancel the engagement with Miss Nalan, how about that? "
Xiao Yuan's eyes were burning as he pleaded in a deep voice.
Nalan Yanran frowned when she heard this, although before coming here, she did plan to assume the worst-case scenario and use her power to put pressure on others.
But now that Xiao Yuan had said this, even she felt a little bit reluctant.
' It seems that I acted rashly and did not consider that the consequences of doing so would be so serious.'
Seeing Nalan Yanran's hesitation, Xiao Yuan's expression suddenly darkened:
"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 publicize 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 was a fourteen-year-old girl who was busy practicing Dou Qi and fighting skills every day. When had she ever seen such a scene?
For a moment, she was actually a little overwhelmed.
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 didn't mean to refuse you! It's just three years, no problem!"
Nalan Yanran looked flustered and spoke hurriedly.
"Miss Nalan, don't force yourself."
"It was indeed Yanran who was reckless this time. When I came here, my teacher asked me to bring a Qi Gathering Powder as an apology. I will ask Uncle Ge to give it to you later."
Xiao Yuan was stunned at first, then shook his head: "I appreciate Miss Nalan's kindness, but I absolutely cannot accept this Qi Gathering Powder.
The marriage contract should have been resolved like this. From now on, you and I owe each other nothing and have no connection. How can Miss Nalan apologize?"
Seeing this, Nalan Yanran felt that the handsome young man in front of her must be in self-esteem, unwilling to accept.
After thinking for a while, her smart eyes turned slightly, and suddenly she whispered:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"
"By the way, Miss Nalan, do you have a pen and paper? Let's write a document here today. You and I will each keep a copy.
If something unexpected happens in the future and Xiao Yuan fails to go to Nalan Mansion on time, this document can also be used as proof of canceling the engagement."
Upon hearing her reply, Xiao Yuan smiled as if to say, "That's exactly how it should be," and then continued.
"I Have."
In fact, Nalan Yanran was a little worried that Xiao Yuan would change his mind, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
When she heard this, she immediately took out a pen and paper from her ring and handed them to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan took the paper and pen, nodded with a smile, then walked to a nearby pavilion and wrote quickly, signing a document.
The ink fell, and the pen stopped!
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 upon seeing this. Seeing Xiao Yuan's gaze 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 his fingertips, and then handed the medicine bottle to her.
Nalan Yanran originally wanted to say that this was not necessary for such a minor injury, but since the matter had already been settled, there was naturally no need to offend others, so she took the medicine bottle and applied the medicine to herself.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had already put away his own receipt, and picked up the other one and handed it to Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran took the document and put it into her ring. After hesitating for a moment, she asked,
"Master Xiao, I would like to ask why you cannot practice. You know, my teacher is a Dou Huang master, and Dan Wang Guhe is also an honorary elder of our Yunlan Sect. Perhaps they can help you solve the problem of not being able to practice."
"Haha, thank you Miss Nalan for your kindness, but my body cannot contain Dou Qi, let alone condense Dou Qi cyclone. It may be a congenital physical problem, but over the years, I have gotten used to it."
Xiao Yuan shook his head regretfully after hearing this, and then changed the subject:
"To be honest, I actually have someone I like for a long time, but I haven't confessed to her yet. Compared to a gifted girl like Miss Nalan, her talent is very ordinary, but she is more suitable for me."
Now Nalan Yanran felt more relieved, and even thought that although she and Xiao Yuan were not destined to be together, they could still be friends.
"Well, I wish you success."
Nalan Yanran was very curious about Xiao Yuan's crush. After all, she also wanted to see which woman would end up marrying such a handsome man.
However, she was too embarrassed to ask and could only give an awkward blessing.
"Haha, then I'll take advantage of 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 then said.
"Yeah, okay."
Nalan Yanran nodded when she heard this.
Afterwards, the two of them quickly returned to the hall.
At this moment in the reception hall, everyone had been waiting impatiently.
After all, after the two parties left, Ge Ye and Xiao Zhan had nothing to talk about, so the atmosphere naturally became a lot 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, I feel bad for not visiting you for many years. I have prepared some small gifts and hope you can accept them."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Ge Ye.
When Ge Ye heard what Nalan Yanran said, he knew that the biggest purpose of this trip had been achieved.
It seemed that the communication between the young master and the young master of the Xiao family was quite pleasant. The original apology had now become a gift of meeting.
So, he reached out and wiped a ring on his finger, and a green jade box appeared out of thin air in his hand...
After carefully opening the box, 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 trembled violently and they asked in surprise.
"Qi Gathering Powder?"
