64: Nalan Yanran was rejected
Chapter 64: Nalan Yanran's Rejection
"Nonsense!"
In shock, Nalan Jie regained his composure and sternly shouted at Nalan Yanran.
He had just broken off the engagement at the Xiao Family, and Nalan Yanran was immediately turning around to get engaged to someone else.
Even if it was just childish talk, it was still a slap to the Xiao Family's face.
A six-year-old girl, after breaking off an engagement, suddenly wanted to get engaged to someone else?
In the eyes of the Xiao Family, they would probably think Nalan Yanran's actions were deliberately arranged by him!
How could he maintain any reputation in the Gamma Empire after this?
Moreover, he had no impression of Lu Chuan, nor did he know anything about his family background, so how could he let Nalan Yanran act so recklessly?
"Yan'er, come here quickly!"
"I do not agree to this!"
Nalan Jie said with a solemn expression.
If he let Nalan Yanran have her way today,
soon, the news of their Nalan Family bullying others, and breaking off an engagement with the declining Xiao Family over a one-star Battle Practitioner boy, would spread throughout the Gamma Empire!
The most crucial thing was that if Nalan Yanran truly had someone she fancied,
he was completely unaware of it!
Furthermore, Nalan Yanran had been in the Gama Empire Capital for many years without going out, so why was she crying and insisting on coming to Wutan City's Xiao Family?
With a cloud of worry, Nalan Jie was filled with confusion.
"I just won't...!"
Being scolded by Nalan Jie, the loli Nalan Yanran was startled, her eyes immediately welled up, and she pouted, saying stubbornly.
She wanted better rewards from the diary, which was why she wanted to attract Lu Chuan's attention.
If she wanted something, she would definitely get it.
Besides, she was so young, and her grandfather actually scolded her in front of so many people.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran only felt that her usually loving grandfather no longer cared for her.
Suppressing the frustration in her heart, Nalan Yanran lowered her head, not wanting to cry easily in front of everyone!
"Yan'er, you are still young. Matters between men and women can wait until you are older!"
Seeing this, Yun Yun went over and embraced her, gently comforting her.
Everyone present, seeing this scene, couldn't help but wonder what charm Lu Chuan possessed to make The women fall for him!
Even the six-year-old Battle Practitioner Nalan Yanran actively requested an engagement!
Envy.
Intense jealousy disfigured a certain person, who remained silent with a dark expression.
In the hall, Lu Chuan looked at Nalan Yanran's sudden action, feeling bewildered!
【Nalan Yanran broke through to a three-star Battle Practitioner at six years old. What kind of monstrous talent is this?】
【Could it be that in the next nine years, Nalan Yanran only grew in body but not in cultivation?】
【Something's not right... even if the cultivation issue could be explained, there's no reason for her to come to break off the engagement at this timeline!】
【Emmmm...】
【Aside from the age not matching, Xiao Yan's cultivation did match; three stages of Dou Qi, and his face was as black as coal when the engagement was broken off!】
【Strange... although Nalan Yanran admires strength, she shouldn't be so unable to resist getting engaged just by looking at my handsome face!】
【Otherwise, Liu Ling, that simp, also looks good, and wouldn't have been snatched by Xiao Huohuo!】
【Could it be that Nalan Yanran likes cold men?】
【That makes sense! If she can break off an engagement with Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran might also be able to break off an engagement with me. This engagement cannot be agreed to!】
【Forget it, I'll ignore her for now!】
After writing in his diary, Lu Chuan looked at Nalan Yanran without replying.
Honestly, in terms of looks among lolis, Xiao Yu was slightly lacking. Besides Xun'er, no one present could compare to her!
Such a Nalan Yanran, taking her as a wife, putting aside everything else, would definitely be a feast for the eyes!
.........
"W-wah..."
Nalan Yanran, nestled in Yun Yun's arms, saw the new content in the diary and immediately couldn't hold back, bursting into tears.
Everyone present was immediately bewildered!
Nalan Yanran, who was stubbornly holding back tears a second ago, why did she suddenly burst into tears?
Lu Chuan was also among those who were bewildered.
【Nalan Yanran didn't even shed a tear over the humiliation of losing the Three-Year Agreement!】
【Just because Nalan Jie scolded her a few times, she's bawling her eyes out?】
【When did Nalan Yanran become so fragile?】
【Could it be that the future proud Nalan Yanran was a crybaby from childhood?】
New content suddenly appeared in Nalan Yanran's mind, and she bit her small teeth tightly, stopping her crying, and whimpering softly!
She didn't want to be a crybaby.
"Are you n-n-not... sick?"
Lu Chuan looked at Nalan Yanran with a hint of surprise, swallowing the word 'sick' that was about to come out.
She suddenly cried loudly, then suddenly stopped crying.
Even masters of Sichuan opera face-changing would praise her talent.
In fact, it wasn't that he wanted to pay attention to Nalan Yanran.
After all, she was crying because of his face.
With the Xiao Family disciples and important figures watching, doing nothing wouldn't be appropriate!
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran remained silent, continuing to whimper softly to herself.
Seeing his precious granddaughter like this, Nalan Jie's stern old face finally softened a little, and a hint of self-reproach welled up in his heart.
"Patriarch Xiao, for today's matter, this old man apologizes on behalf of the Nalan Family!"
"Originally, I intended to discuss the engagement annulment with you privately, but now Yan'er has acted out of self-will!"
"Here are a few Grade 4 medicinal pills; I hope Patriarch Xiao will accept them!"
Nalan Jie took out four jade boxes, stood up, and bowed in apology.
Even though his seniority was much higher than Xiao Zhan's, this was a mess caused by his granddaughter.
Since he was in the wrong, he could only personally clean up Nalan Yanran's mess.
"Grade 4 medicinal pills?"
Hearing Nalan Jie's words, Xiao Zhan stood up, his gaze fixed on the jade boxes, a trace of fervor flashing in his eyes.
He had naturally seen Grade 4 medicinal pills before.
However, since the decline of the Xiao Family and their departure from the Gama Empire, he hadn't seen such expensive medicinal pills for several years.
One Grade 4 medicinal pill alone cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, enough to equal a year's income from all of the Xiao Family's properties in Wutan City.
Even if he saw them, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to buy them!
He was displeased by Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement in front of Yun Shan.
Now, four Grade 4 medicinal pills were offered by Nalan Jie as an apology.
He felt there was no need to dwell too much on the engagement annulment.
Xiao Zhan accepted the medicinal pills, smiling.
"Master Nalan, regarding the children's engagement, I already felt it was somewhat inappropriate back then. For a lifelong matter, as elders, we can only offer some opinions."
"These medicinal pills are valuable. Thank you, Master Nalan, for your kind intentions!"
After thanking him, seeing that Nalan Jie had no intention of taking them back, Xiao Zhan put them into his storage ring.
This scene fell into the eyes of several Xiao Family elders, and they immediately became envious.
How valuable were Grade 4 medicinal pills? When their family was still in the Gama Empire, they only ever obtained one Grade 4 medicinal pill in their entire lives!
Because Xiao Yan's engagement was broken off, Xiao Zhan unexpectedly benefited.
Even if they coveted these four medicinal pills, there was no way for them to make Xiao Zhan hand them over.
"As one of the three great families of the Gamma Empire, they only brought out a few Grade 4 medicinal pills. How stingy!"
Amidst everyone's envious gazes, an abrupt voice sounded.
Hearing this, Nalan Jie's expression suddenly changed!
