Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: True Power

"Yaner, Yier!"

"You two must not be rude!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan, who was in the chief seat, was truly startled by the actions of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi.

He hurriedly spoke to stop them, as the now declining Xiao Family could not afford to offend a behemoth like the Cloud Mist Sect!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's clenched fists slowly relaxed.

After all, Xiao Yan clearly understood that if he truly offended the Cloud Mist Sect at this moment, it would bring no small trouble to the Xiao Family and to his father.

Seeing Xiao Yan calm down, Nalan Yanran's expression quickly returned to its lofty demeanor.

"Xiao Yan, I don't know what I said today that made you so angry..."

"But the engagement must be dissolved today. This matter has the consent of my master, the current Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect!"

"You may consider this a threat. My promised conditions to you will never change. Besides the Medicinal Pill brought today, you and Xiao Yi can still enter the Cloud Mist Sect to study..."

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Xiao Yi was the first to say:

"Miss Nalan, when you made this decision today, did you ever consider what kind of impact it would have on the Xiao Family?"

"Presumably, you also know how much impact a female party breaking off an engagement has on the male party on the Fighting Qi Continent?"

"My brother Xiao Yan actually doesn't think much of you either, but for the reputation of your Nalan Family, he hasn't even gone to divorce you!"

As soon as Xiao Yi spoke, even if Nalan Yanran's emotional intelligence was low, she heard the mockery in Xiao Yi's words, and her face turned crimson with anger.

"You!"

"Xiao Yi, you!"

"This is a matter between me and Xiao Yan, why do you interfere!"

But Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly: "Miss Nalan, what are you saying? This is a matter of my Xiao Family, how can I stand by and do nothing?"

"Your actions are trampling on the face of my Xiao Family!"

Nalan Yanran heard this and slightly turned her head to glance at Xiao Zhan in the main seat.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan's expression was grave, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

Nalan Yanran also looked slightly embarrassed, as she truly hadn't thought too much when she came today, only wanting to dissolve the engagement with Xiao Yan.

"Today's matter was indeed too reckless of me, and my consideration was lacking..."

"I can temporarily retract the matter of breaking the engagement today, however, Xiao Yan, you must give me a promise!"

"I can postpone the breaking of the engagement for three years, but after three years, you will come to the Cloud Mist Sect to challenge me. If you lose, I will still publicly dissolve the engagement!"

Nalan Yanran said indifferently.

Xiao Yi heard this, but merely smiled faintly.

"Miss Nalan, I have no right to interfere with your agreement with Brother Yan, but the matter of breaking the engagement today is probably not something you can retract just because you want to!"

Xiao Yi turned to look at Xiao Yan, then gave Xiao Yan a meaningful look.

The two were indeed like brothers who grew up together, and Xiao Yan instantly understood Xiao Yi's meaning.

Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and quickly came to the table.

Ink fell, pen stopped!

Xiao Yan suddenly drew out the short sword on the table and fiercely cut a wound on his left hand... A bloodstain instantly appeared on the white paper.

"Don't think that because I, Xiao Yan, am a good-for-nothing today, I will always be a good-for-nothing!"

"The three-year agreement doesn't need to be so complicated. The engagement between us ends today!"

"Of course, it's not you, Nalan Yanran, breaking the engagement, but I, Xiao Yan, divorcing you today!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi couldn't help but praise him repeatedly!

As expected of the future Brother Yan, this spirit is truly extraordinary.

"You dare to divorce me?"

Nalan Yanran looked at the letter of divorce with the blood seal on the table, her eyes wide.

The next second, Nalan Yanran, who had never suffered such humiliation, completely erupted in fury.

Streaks of green Dou Qi wrapped around her waist.

She clearly looked like she wanted to make a move.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi no longer concealed himself.

Streaks of red Dou Qi instantly surged around him, attaching to his arms.

"What, Miss Nalan, can't you wait three years?"

"It's just that my Brother Yan disdains fighting with you right now. If you want to fight, I can accompany you!"

The sight of Xiao Yi erupting with Dou Qi also made everyone present slightly stunned.

At the same time, the three Elders also showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

The Xiao Family finally had such a young Dou Practitioner again!

"Brother Yi, you?"

Among everyone present, Xiao Yan was the most shocked.

After all, Xiao Yi's Dou Qi had clearly disappeared on the same day as his, and the test just now clearly showed only one segment of Dou Qi, so why had he suddenly become a Dou Practitioner expert now!

But Xiao Yi merely turned back and said indifferently: "I'll explain to you later..."

...And seeing Xiao Yi burst out with Dou Qi, Ge Ye, the Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect who had accompanied Nalan Yanran, immediately reacted.

"Youngster, don't be arrogant! Just a mere Dou Practitioner, this old man can suppress you with one hand!"

Ge Ye's aura instantly surged, and Dou Qi churned around him.

And Xiao Zhan, in the main seat, showed no sign of fear at this sight.

The aura belonging to a Five-Star Great Dou Shi instantly erupted, forming a confrontation with Ge Ye.

"Elder Ge, it's not appropriate for us to interfere in the playful antics between the youngsters, is it..."

Ge Ye heard this, first looked at Nalan Yanran, and only after receiving her signal did he retract his Dou Qi.

"The Xiao Family's two Supremes are indeed well-deserved. One was crippled, yet there's still another who can become a Dou Practitioner at such a young age..."

"Very well, Xiao Yi, I accept your challenge today!"

As Nalan Yanran's voice fell, the green Dou Qi flowing beneath her white tight-fitting attire swirled like a thin mist.

The Qi blades condensed at her fingertips glowed with a chilling, faint light.

She looked coldly at Xiao Yi: "Nalan Yanran, Three-Star Dou Zhe..."

And the red Dou Qi on Xiao Yi's arms looked equally formidable.

"Xiao Yi, One-star Dou Zhe!"

The next second, Nalan Yanran's pupils contracted slightly, and with a delicate cry, she whipped out three green light whips.

The light whips coiled around like nimble snakes, but upon touching Xiao Yi's red Dou Qi, they emitted a piercing sizzling sound.

Xiao Yi advanced instead of retreating, throwing a punch that tore through the light whips. The red Dou Qi condensed on his fist violently collided with Nalan Yanran's hastily formed green shield.

Boom!

The Qi wave overturned the stone slabs beneath their feet.

Xiao Yan watched the battle between the two intently, and couldn't help but sigh: "Dou Practitioner experts are indeed formidable..."

"If only I were still a Dou Practitioner..."

After Xiao Yi's brief skirmish with Nalan Yanran.

In terms of pure strength, Xiao Yi indeed subtly held the upper hand.

However, battles between Dou Practitioners are not solely about strength; more importantly, they are about Dou Techniques.

And at this moment, Xiao Yi had not yet mastered any Dou Techniques.

Therefore, when Xiao Zhan in the main seat saw Nalan Yanran preparing to release a Dou Technique, he immediately stood up and stopped the battle between the two.

After all, if it continued, Xiao Yi was bound to lose.

"Niece Nalan, since your goal has been achieved today..."

"Then please return..."

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran also stopped her movements.

She said coldly: "Xiao Yi, I hope to see you at the Cloud Mist Sect three years from now!"

Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly: "That is natural..."
