Chapter 406: Life and Death, Let Fate Take Its Course!
"Xiao family, Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Yan's plain words floated throughout the square.
On the square, countless Yunlan Sect disciples looked at Xiao Yan with different emotions in their eyes.
The name Xiao Yan was not unfamiliar to them. Because of Nalan Yanran's identity as the young sect master, many Yunlan Sect disciples loved him deeply. However, Xiao Yan had been engaged to Nalan Yanran before. This made many The disciples of the Yunlan Sect were jealous, and they often teased Xiao Yan, a young man from a down-and-out family, for wanting to eat swan meat.
But today, Xiao Yan was able to behave so calmly under the combined formation of thousands of Yunlan Sect disciples. Many of the more astute Yunlan Sect disciples felt a little awe-inspiring. This indifferent and calm performance was not unlike that of Xiao Yan. It's the rumored trash of the Xiao family.
Nalan Yanran's bright eyes stared at the slightly thin boy on the edge of the square. Her eyes stayed on his face, and some outlines of him from three years ago were vaguely revealed. However, the Xiao Yan now no longer had the appearance of three years ago. The youthfulness and sharpness were replaced by a somewhat profound restraint.
Recalling the past three years ago, coupled with Nalan Jie's persuasion some time ago, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt that it seemed that the two of them could talk calmly, but everything had to wait until the duel was over.
"Nalan family, Nalan Yanran!"
Nalan Yanran's delicate body stood erect in the center of the square, her tone was also very calm, and in this calmness, there was a strong sense of confidence.
At this time, Fa Mam, who was sitting on the high platform, had extremely emotional fluctuations in his old eyes.
"Hei Chi looks so familiar...Yan Xiao...Xiao Yan...could they be the same person!" Fa Ma sighed secretly in his heart.
"In today's battle, I'm afraid Yunlan Sect will lose in disgrace!"
After guessing that Xiao Yan was Yan Xiao, Fa Ma spoke to the two people around him with a rather confident tone. Fa Ma clearly remembered the combat power Xiao Yan showed when he stole the Alchemist Guild's warehouse that night. Proper Douwang cultivation.
"Oh, I didn't expect you, Fa Ma, to be so optimistic about this Xiao family boy!"
After hearing Fa Ma's words, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong showed curiosity on their faces.
"You will know later, this Xiao Yan is not simple!" Fa Ma pretended not to explain anything.
"Haha, Fa Ma, you are an old guy, you always tell half the words... However, this Xiao Yan does not look like the trash in the rumors. With such magnanimity and character, only Liu Ling can beat him among the young people. Pass him!" Jia Xingtian whispered, and then glanced towards Liu Ling. However, at this glance, his attitude of commenting on the young man suddenly changed.
"That girl... is such a monster!" Jia Xingtian sighed inwardly.
…
"Hey, old guy Nalan, is this the boy from the Xiao family who almost became your Nalan family's son-in-law? He doesn't seem like the good-for-nothing guy in the rumors. Such a demeanor and character are unlike any other young man I've ever seen. There are not many among them.”
At the bottom of the row of Yunlan Sect elders, Mu Chen turned to Nalan Jie, whose eyes had been fixed on Xiao Yan, and smiled, with a hint of schadenfreude in his smile.
In Mu Chen's view, what a son-in-law who was considered a waste and abandoned now showed was a gesture of genius. Although Nalan Jie would not have the emotion of regret and grief because of this, he might More or less, there will be some troubles.
"Well, the Xiao family has indeed changed a lot in the past three years!" Nalan Jie responded to Mu Chen in a calm tone, without showing the slightest bit of annoyance, simply in the manner of an elder praising a younger one.
"You old fox, you are still pretending at this time!" Seeing Nalan Jie's answer, Mu Chen sneered in his heart, said nothing, and moved his eyes to the square again.
At this time, an old man in white robes who was sitting above Mu Chen and Nalan Jie suddenly stood up.
"Are you Xiao Yan of the Xiao family?"
The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan, and slowly spoke.
"I am the great elder of Yunlan Sect, Yun Ling!" Before Xiao Yan could speak, the old man said to himself: "As entrusted by the sect master, today's competition between you and Nalan Yanran will be hosted by me. This competition is intended to compare, and the point is..."
"Life and death, each is determined by his destiny!"
A soft voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Yun Ling's words.
Hearing this, the eyes on the field moved along the sound, and finally stopped on the young man carrying the black ruler. Their expressions were slightly different. They did not expect that Xiao Yan would actually say that life and death should be determined by destiny.
"Is this boy from the Xiao family a little too arrogant? This is the Yunlan Sect. If Nalan Yanran makes a slight mistake, can he walk out of the Yunlan Sect alive?" Jia Xingtian shook his head and sighed: "Young man, just live your life." It’s easy to fold!”
"Old man, haven't you already said it? It's normal for young people to say such things out of emotion. Besides, just because he said it, it doesn't necessarily mean he's really so unmeasured!" Fa Ma stroked his beard and was very surprised. Be optimistic about Xiao Yan's approach.
"This boy from the Xiao family is very arrogant. Fortunately, my junior sister said two days ago that she would hold back a little in this competition to prevent him from losing too ugly, and she also planned to give him some compensation. His current performance... is really... It's a waste of junior sister's good intentions!" Liu Ling, who was sitting high on the stone platform, frowned and said with some disappointment.
"This Xiao Yan is so ungrateful. If I had known this would happen, I should have killed him on the way earlier, so that he could not come to Yunlan Sect and see Yanran, and could not say such words... But now, let Yanran handle it herself!" After Liu Ling finished speaking, Xiao Yixian said with an unhappy face.
After hearing what his senior brothers and sisters said, Qinglin did not speak, but he also felt a little disgusted with Xiao Yan on the field.
In the center of the square, Nalan Yanran raised her eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Yan's dark eyes. From those eyes, Nalan Yanran clearly felt a resentment that was difficult to conceal.
After a while, Nalan Yanran sighed and said casually: "It's up to you!"
Hearing Nalan Yanran's reply, Yun Leng frowned slightly. Xiao Yan's sudden interruption made this elder, who was not low in status in Yunlan Sect, a little unhappy. He also knew that Xiao Yan had long since gotten rid of the name of waste, but Nalan Yanran's talent was also not low, and with the training of Yunlan Sect, her strength progressed at a rapid speed. But if they really had to fight, Yun Leng was not optimistic about Xiao Yan.
"Young man, leave a way out for everything, but since you want this, then it's up to you. Life and death, each of us will leave it to fate." Yun Leng waved his hand and said lightly.
