Chapter 4: Nalan Yanran Is Kicked Away:
"Since Elder Xu has intervened, let's proceed as discussed and call off the engagement immediately!"
Stirred by Ye Wuhen's interference, Nalan Xiu decided to be blunt and straightforward.
Although the situation had developed quite differently than he had imagined, his goal was finally achieved!
Hearing this, the Ye family members sighed inwardly. However, the patriarch of the Ye family stood up furiously.
"Hmph…"
"Call off the engagement! Yes, the engagement must be annulled."
"But it is not for your Nalan family to decide…"
"When the engagement was made, it was your patriarch, Nalan Hongjie, who begged me desperately!"
"So, even if the engagement is to be annulled, it will be me, in front of Nalan Hongjie, throwing the engagement contract in that old fool's face!!!"
As Ye Hongfeng spoke, his blood boiled with anger.
He had once been a prominent figure in Qingyun City. Today, not only was he betrayed by an old friend, but now younger generations were here to call off the engagement, which he found unbearable.
"Sigh… Grandpa, don't get angry!"
"The shamelessness of these old scoundrels is beyond your imagination…"
Ye Wuhen quickly tried to calm him down.
In fact, he didn't like being entangled in this melodramatic situation any longer. Unfortunately, his hot-blooded grandfather wouldn't let it go, and if Ye Wuhen didn't handle it well, it would drive the old man to fury.
If his grandfather became even more agitated, treating his hidden injuries would become even more difficult for Ye Wuhen.
"Master Ye, that's unreasonable!"
"No matter what happened in the past, right now, Ye Wuhen is unworthy of my Yanran…"
"If you are dissatisfied, let them have a fair competition. If Ye Wuhen can withstand three moves from Yanran, the matter of the engagement will be decided by your Ye family!!!"
Nalan Xiu spoke coldly, now completely unafraid.
The Ye family members were infuriated by his words.
How shameless could he be…
Everyone knew Ye Wuhen's cultivation was only at the 5th stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, while Nalan Yanran was at the 9th stage of the Qi Gathering Realm…
There was no comparison; even without a fight, it was clear Ye Wuhen would lose!
"Good… this is a good suggestion!"
"Strength should indeed speak for itself… I will make it happen!!!"
Before the Ye family members could protest, Xu Wenshan, the elder from the Cloud Sect, spoke first.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and a floating arena appeared above the Ye family residence.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Wuhen and Nalan Yanran were enveloped by a stream of air and sent to the floating arena in the sky.
Ye Wuhen had earlier embarrassed Xu Wenshan by calling out his childhood nickname, Xu Ergou. Xu Wenshan was now eager to seize this opportunity to humiliate the boy…
…
"Hey… a floating arena appeared in the sky, and Ye Wuhen and Nalan Yanran are up there!"
"The engagement issue must have caused a rift between the two families, and now they're having the younger generation settle it with a fight!"
"This fight is a foregone conclusion… If Ye Wuhen, that good-for-nothing, can touch even a finger of Nalan Yanran, I'll eat my hat!"
"Haha… The Ye family is so overconfident. They should have just agreed to the annulment. Making such a fuss is just bringing more shame upon themselves!"
(Outside the Ye family residence)
A huge crowd gathered, watching the floating arena in the sky and discussing the event animatedly.
Meanwhile, Nalan Xiu and others emerged from the discussion hall. Although the Ye family members were reluctant, they followed with grim faces, feeling cornered.
"Yanran, suppress your cultivation to the 5th stage of the Qi Gathering Realm and give Ye Wuhen three moves!"
Nalan Xiu spoke loudly, ensuring the crowd outside could hear him.
"Alright…"
Nalan Yanran responded timidly, and then looked coldly at Ye Wuhen.
She had no particular affection for her fiancé.
"No need… if she can withstand one kick from me, I'll admit defeat!!!"
At this moment, Ye Wuhen spoke up.
Everyone was stunned, and doubted their ears.
What had they just heard???
Nalan Yanran hadn't said a word, and this guy had come out with such a boast.
Was he not worried about being utterly humiliated when Nalan Yanran beats him mercilessly later???
While everyone was speechless…
Ye Wuhen stepped toward Nalan Yanran on the arena.
Slowly, he raised his foot and kicked at her.
Seeing this, the crowd burst into laughter.
How long had this good-for-nothing not practiced seriously? Had he become this weak???
Did he think he was in a street fight, starting with a kick?
He was facing a genius girl at the 9th stage of the Qi Gathering Realm!
However, in the next moment…
Bang!
A muffled sound was heard, and Nalan Yanran's figure flew out.
The world instantly seemed to freeze, and everyone's expressions were frozen in shock.
