Chapter 8: Gathering Qi: Why Don’t You Want Me?

"This"

Xiao Zhan was a little confused, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan, and found that Xiao Yuan also frowned and was staring at Nalan Yanran's back.

And Nalan Yanran continued to talk to herself: "I had a good chat with Mr. Xiao before. This Qi Gathering Powder was made by Master Gu He, the honorary elder of my sect. I wanted to give it to Mr. Xiao, but Mr. Xiao refused to accept it. Please accept it on my behalf, Uncle Xiao."

After saying that, she turned her head and cast a proud look at Xiao Yuan: See how you can refuse me now!

Xiao Yuan shrugged helplessly when he heard this, and Xiao Yan, who was sitting behind him, felt that his CPU was completely burned.

How did the third brother do it?

Xiao Xun'er on the side also looked at Xiao Yuan with a strange expression. She had no idea how Xiao Yuan could make Nalan Yanran turn this Qi Gathering Powder, which was obviously intended as compensation, into a gift.

As soon as this was said, there was an uproar in the hall of the Xiao family.

Good guy, he gave Qi Gathering Powder as a gift? The people of Yunlan Sect are really rich!

Xiao Zhan didn't know what Xiao Yuan did, but he said it was a gift. If he didn't accept it, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?

So, he smiled and said kindly:

"Okay, then Uncle Xiao will accept it. Niece Nalan must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you stay at my Xiao's house and rest for a few days?"

Nalan Yanran had achieved the purpose of this trip, so she naturally wouldn't stay any longer, so she looked apologetic and said, "Thank you Uncle Xiao for your kindness, but Yanran has other things to do, so I have to say goodbye today. If Uncle Xiao is free in the future, you can come to my Nalan Mansion as a guest."

"Well, in that case, Yuan'er, go and see niece Nalan off."

Xiao Zhan nodded when he heard it, and then said to Xiao Yuan.

"Yes, father."

Xiao Yuan stood up after hearing this, and saw Nalan Yanran and her group out of the reception hall and out the door.

"Thank you, Miss Nalan."

Xiao Yuan nodded to Nalan Yanran.

"No need to thank me, as long as you can keep your promise in three years."

Nalan Yanran smiled after hearing this.

"Don't worry, see you in the imperial capital in three years."

Xiao Yuan bowed his hands after hearing this and said solemnly.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Nalan Yanran smiled and responded, and then she left with Ge Ye and the unknown passerby in white.

Xiao Yuan looked at Nalan Yanran and her group who left safely, his eyes narrowed.

If he could recover his strength earlier, why would he compromise? Although he still had some advantages in words, this kind of hard power was not enough, and the taste of having to put the right of choice in the hands of others was really fucking making people want to swear.

In fact, he really wanted to use the method of returning the five qi to one to fight with Nalan Yanran, to let her see that he was definitely not a waste.

But what about after that? If Nalan Yanran knew that she was not a waste, would she not cancel the engagement?

Moreover, if Xiao Yuan had not been smart today and did not put the matter of canceling the engagement on the table, who knows how ugly the situation would be at this moment.

Instead of that, it would be better to retreat in order to advance. Nalan Yanran was willing to talk to him privately, which meant that she was at least kind in her heart, but she was indeed reckless this time and did not think about the consequences.

Although he did take advantage of Nalan Yanran's kindness or her morality later, Xiao Yuan had no psychological burden at all.

In short, it was barely even.

"Brother."

Xiao Yan's voice sounded from behind. Xiao Yuan turned around after hearing the words, and what caught his eyes was Xiao Yan's concerned eyes.

"Haha, just in time, you come with me, I have something to tell you and your father."

Xiao Yuan smiled, and then took Xiao Yan back to the hall.

At this moment, most people had left, and Xun'er was at the door of the hall, obviously waiting for Xiao Yan.

There were four people in the hall, three elders and Xiao Zhan.

At this moment, the three elders hesitated to speak, their grandchildren were about to reach the age of being promoted to fighters, and the Qi Gathering Powder was very attractive to them!

"If the three elders are fine, our family still has something to say, why not avoid it?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan took Xiao Yan into the hall and said lightly.

The three elders were a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan's attitude, but after seeing Xiao Xun'er standing at the door and staring at them silently, they didn't say anything, glared at Xiao Yuan, and left.

"Father, Xiaoyan, I agreed with Nalan Yanran that I would take the original engagement to the imperial capital to cancel the engagement three years later."

After the three elders left, Xiao Yuan released his soul perception, which was even stronger than Xiao Yan's, and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there were no outsiders, he spoke directly to the point.

"Yuan'er, what are you doing?"

Xiao Zhan was a little confused. There didn't seem to be much difference between canceling the engagement three years later and canceling the engagement today.

Xiao Xun'er at the door was also a little curious when she heard this.

"Because in three years, the gap in strength between me and Nalan Yanran will be reversed. By then, the cancellation of the engagement will be justified and no one can blame us."

After Xiao Yuan said this, he mobilized the Dou Qi in the Five Yuan Qi Palace.

Feeling the sudden fluctuation of Dou Qi in Xiao Yuan's body, the three people present were stunned at the same time.

"Yuan'er, you can practice!"

Xiao Zhan grabbed Xiao Yuan's wrist with ecstasy, and after carefully sensing it, he said ecstatically.

"Brother! Really!"

Xiao Yan also showed joy when he heard it.

Xiao Xun'er outside the door was also happy for Xiao Yuan.

"Well, it happened last night."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Great!"

Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Yuan directly after hearing this.

"Brother, I knew you could do it!"

Xiao Yan was sincerely happy that Xiao Yuan could also practice.

"Good, good, good! My son Xiao Zhan is really extraordinary!"

Xiao Zhan said three good words in a row, hugged his two sons tightly.

After a while, the three separated, all with smiles on their faces.

"Since Yuan'er can practice, you should hand it over to the market. Just concentrate on practicing in the future and don't be distracted."

Xiao Zhan restrained his joy, then looked at Xiao Yuan seriously and said.

"Well, it's time to hand it over, but there's no rush. It won't be too late to hand it over after I pass the high-level market assessment."

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard it.

"Well, that's good, just know how to handle it yourself."

Xiao Zhan naturally trusted Xiao Yuan very much, and nodded with a smile.

"By the way, since this Qi Gathering Powder is something Nalan Yanran gave you, you should accept it."

Then, Xiao Zhan took out the Qi Gathering Powder that he had previously put into the ring and handed it to Xiao Yuan.

"Uh, I don't need this thing, why not give it to Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yuan didn't take the jade box, shook his head and said.

"I don't need it."

Xiao Yan also shook his head. He was only at the third stage of Dou Qi and had not moved forward. This Qi Gathering Powder would probably be useless to him. Besides, this was his third brother's thing. He felt bad for accepting his third brother's share of cultivation resources. He couldn't take this Qi Gathering Powder no matter what.

"What about Xun'er?"

Xiao Yuan turned around and looked at Xiao Xun'er, who had just reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi.
