BTTH: Bearing Children to get Reward, I'll Create the Strongest Family

'Who is this young man? Supervisor Gu Ni seems to respect him very much!'

Looking at Chenfeng sitting in the pavilion, Xiao Zhan was shocked and secretly guessed Chenfeng's identity.

"Brother Chenfeng, these two are the Xiao clan leader Xiao Zhan and Young Master Xiao Yan." Arriving at the pavilion, Ya Fei said to Chenfeng with a smile on her face.

"Clan head Xiao, brother Xiao Yan, please sit down!" Chenfeng did not stand up, but just smiled and nodded to Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.

"This is..."

Xiao Zhan looked at Chenfeng in front of him with a surprised expression. After listening to Ya Fei's words just now, he already understood that it was not Ya Fei who entertained them father and son this time, but the young man in front of him instead.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Ya Fei said with a smile on her face and her red lips lightly parted: "Brother Chenfeng is a direct descendant of our Miteer family, Miteer Chenfeng."

'The Miteer family's direct descendant!'

Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard Ya Fei's words.

The famous name of the Miteer family is naturally well known to him, they are not something that the Xiao family can offend.

"Greetings Young Master Chenfeng!"

Xiao Zhan hurriedly greeted him, but he was confused in his heart, why did this young master Chenfeng come to find them father and son?

"Yan'er, hurry up and meet Young Master Chenfeng!" Then, Xiao Zhan turned and said to Xiao Yan behind him.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was about to take a step forward when he heard Chenfeng say: "Clan Head Xiao, brother Xiao Yan, you're my guests, no need to stand on ceremony. I invite you to come today because I have something to ask you for."

Asking for something?

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt a little surprised. What could this direct descendant of the Miteer family need their Xiao family for?

"Young Master Chenfeng, please tell me what you need, as long as our Xiao family can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you."

Xiao Zhan showed a smile on his face and kept his posture very low.

"Actually, this time I was asked by my teacher to come to the Xiao family and meet with you Clan Head Xiao and brother Xiao Yan to terminate an agreement." Chenfeng said bluntly.

Xiao Zhan was very confused and asked, "I wonder who is Young Master Chenfeng's teacher is?"

At this time, Ya Fei, with her usual composed and elegant demeanor, spoke at the right moment, her voice calm yet carrying a weight that couldn't be ignored.

"Brother Chenfeng is an inner sect disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, the Sect Master's personal disciple!" she announced.

Her words struck like a thunderbolt.

"What?! Misty Cloud Sect!"

Xiao Zhan's eyes widened in disbelief. His previously composed expression was completely replaced by one of shock.

Even Xiao Yan behind him had a look of astonishment.

Although Xiao Yan has not gone out to practice, he has read information about this Misty Cloud sect in some books. The city where the Xiao family is located is called Wu Tan City. Wu Tan City belongs to the Jia Ma Empire.

Even though this city was listed as being one of the bigger cities within Jia Ma Empire, it was still dwarfed by the size of the empire, despite having the Magic Beast Mountain Range behind it.

Xiao Yan's family has considerable influence in Wutan City, but it is not the only one. There are two other major families in the city that are almost as powerful as the Xiao family. The three parties have been fighting openly and secretly with each other for decades, and there has never been a winner. .

If the Xiao family is one of the overlords of Wu Tan City, then the Misty Cloud Sect that Ya Fei mentioned should probably be said to be the overlord of the entire Jia Ma Empire!

It's no wonder that his father was so shocked when he heard the words "Misty Cloud Sect".

"It turns out that Young Master Chenfeng is a disciple of Sect Master Yun Yun. I was disrespectful and didn't pay appropriate respect. Please forgive me," Xiao Zhan said as he quickly adjusted his tone and posture, his face now adorned with a polite smile.

He continued, "No wonder I thought Young Master Chenfeng possessed such an extraordinary temperament. It turns out that you are a disciple of a renowned master!"

Despite his calm demeanor, Xiao Zhan's heart was in turmoil. 'Why would a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect's master specifically seek out the Xiao family? What could he possibly want with us?'

As a veteran clan leader, Xiao Zhan had learned to hide his inner thoughts, but this situation was far from ordinary. He cast a brief glance at Xiao Yan, whose expression mirrored his own confusion and wariness.

Meanwhile, Chenfeng remained seated, exuding a calm yet commanding presence. He lightly waved his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Clan Head Xiao, there's no need for excessive courtesy. I came here today with goodwill, not malice. I wonder if Clan Head Xiao still remembers my junior sister, Nalan Yanran?"

"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Jie's granddaughter, Nalan Yanran?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was startled at first, but his expression quickly shifted to one of delight as he recalled past events.

"It turns out that Young Master Chenfeng is Senior Brother to my niece Nalan! Niece Nalan and I haven't met for many years. I had heard that she was accepted as Sect Master Yun Yun's direct disciple, but at the time, I assumed it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true!" Xiao Zhan said with a tone of admiration, his face lighting up with genuine praise.

He continued, "Niece Nalan is truly talented! To be personally guided by Sect Master Yun Yun and to have such an outstanding Senior Brother, her accomplishments must be remarkable."

Chenfeng's faint smile deepened. He leaned forward slightly, his tone as composed as ever. "Clan Head Xiao speaks highly of Junior Sister Yanran. Indeed, she is exceptionally talented and has earned great recognition within the Misty Cloud Sect."

His words were calm, but there was an air of subtlety in his demeanor, as if testing Xiao Zhan's reaction. Would the Xiao family still speak highly of Nalan Yanran when they realized why he was truly here?

"Speaking of which, what I am here to request today has something to do with Junior Sister Nalan, and this matter is also my teacher's complete support and approval."

At this, Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly again, and his smile faded.

Yun Yun, the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, is a big shot in the Jia Ma Empire. He, the leader of a small clan, cannot afford to be offensive in the slightest. With her strength and power, why does she need help from the Xiao family?

'The other party said it was related to niece Nalan, right?'

Thinking of some possibility, the corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, and his huge palms trembled slightly as he clenched his fists, but fortunately they were covered by sleeves, so they were not discovered.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and his voice was trembling. He said in a condensed voice: "Young Master Chenfeng, please elaborate!"

Chenfeng's words, spoken with deliberate calmness, seemed to linger in the air.

"Clan Head Xiao, you also understand that the Misty Cloud Sect holds its disciples to the highest standards, and my teacher, Sect Master Yun Yun, has great expectations for my junior sister. She has been groomed to be an unparalleled powerhouse, a pillar of strength for the sect in the future. But for someone of her talent and potential, emotional entanglements with men at this stage of her life are strictly prohibited."

Chenfeng glanced briefly at Xiao Yan, his gaze steady but not confrontational, before returning to Xiao Zhan.

"Upon inquiring with my junior sister," Chenfeng added, "my teacher discovered that there exists a marriage agreement between Nalan Yanran and the Xiao family. As you can imagine, this matter has drawn her attention. Thus, my teacher has tasked me with delivering a request to you, Clan Head Xiao: to amicably terminate this engagement."

Boom!

The atmosphere in the room turned tense as Xiao Zhan's anger erupted and slapped his palm on the stone table in front of him.

The sound of the stone table shattering echoed through the room, leaving a mess of wine and food scattered on the ground.

Chenfeng expression remaining calm but slightly annoyed at the waste. 'What a waste of good wine and meat,' he thought, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes. 'This Xiao Zhan sure has a bad temper.'

Xiao Zhan's voice boomed across the room. "You mean, you've came all this way to break off the engagement on behalf of Nalan Yanran?"

Chenfeng didn't flinch, but he could feel the storm brewing.

At the same time, Xiao Yan's expression darkened. His fists clenched tightly, and his breathing quickened as anger surged within him. His mind raced, but one thought dominated: Break off the engagement!

His face grew ashen, his voice low but trembling with suppressed fury. "So, this is what it's come to, huh? Nalan Yanran thinks I'm not worthy of her, so she sent her senior brother here to humiliate me, to discard me like some useless burden!"

Xiao Yan's words carried a mixture of rage and humiliation. His pride had been shattered once again, and this time, the blow came from someone he hadn't even met once before.

'She is using the Misty Cloud Sect to exert power over father's head like a sword... This Nalan Yanran is really a scheming bitch...' An angry sneer sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan clenched his palms tightly within his sleeves, his nails digging into his skin. 'If I were strong now, who would dare to trample on me like this?' The thought burned in his mind like a raging fire.

Yet, reality was cruel. He was nothing more than a 3-Star Dou Disciple—a far cry from the strength he yearned for.

As his gaze fell upon Chenfeng's smiling face, anger surged within him, threatening to erupt. He wanted to lash out, to shatter the condescending aura surrounding this man.

But he knew better.

Acting on impulse would not only result in humiliation but might also bring unnecessary trouble to his father. The opponent's identity and power were leagues beyond what Xiao Yan could contend with. For now, he could do nothing but suppress his fury, vowing silently that one day, things would be different.

Looking at the gloomy Xiao Zhan in front of him, Chenfeng sighed slightly.

"Clan Head Xiao, I understand that this request may seem harsh," Chenfeng continued, his tone unwavering, "but for the sake of my teacher's wishes, I must ask that you agree to the termination of the engagement. I know that...."

"Enough of this!"

Xiao Zhan's fists tightened, his expression darkening. A faint cyan Dou Qi began to emanate from his body, swirling around him in a palpable aura of rising anger. It gradually concentrated, forming an illusory lion's head, its fierce gaze mimicking the intensity of his emotions. The power crackled in the air, a warning of the storm that was about to break.

The Xiao family's top skill: Furious Lion Rage!

Level: Xuan middle level Qi Method!

Looking at Xiao Zhan's reaction, Chenfeng's expression changed slightly, but before he could react, a similarly more powerful aura erupted from behind him.

"Xiao Zhan, you dare attack Young Master?!"

Gu Ni looked at Xiao Zhan with a gloomy expression. Dou Qi surged from his body, and an aura belonging to the peak of the 3-Star Dou Grandmaster clashed with Xiao Zhang's Dou Qi.

"Clan Head Xiao, please, don't act in haste," Ya Fei interjected, her expression also tense. "If you strike now, the repercussions could involve the entire Xiao family!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang's body stiffened suddenly, and the Dou Qi in Xiao Zhan's body slowly converged, and finally disappeared completely.

Sitting back on the chair, Xiao Zhan looked gloomy and said in a hoarse voice: "Misty Cloud Sect, what a "great" Misty Cloud Sect..."

"Clan head Xiao, please be patient and let me finish what I was about to say. It is indeed my Misty Cloud Sect who is responsible for breaking off the engagement this time."

Looking at Xiao Zhan who had calmed down, Chenfeng felt relieved and continued: "That's why the master specially asked me to bring something as an apology to Brother Yan!"

'That's it!'

Xiao Yan's faint voice suppressing his anger suddenly sounded in the pavilion.

"No need! Young Master Chenfeng, you can keep your thing, I will never agree to what happened today!"

The scene fell silent, and all eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, how dare you..." Gu Ni, who was behind Chenfeng, couldn't bear it any longer. A waste dared to yell in front of Young Master Chenfeng, so he was about to angrily scold Xiao Yan.

"Back off!"

However, before he could say anything, he was scolded by Chenfeng.

Gu Ni's expression changed, and he glanced at Xiao Yan with some reluctance, but still kept his mouth shut.

"Brother Yan, I truly came with enough sincerity today. You might as well take a look at what I brought this time, and then make a decision."

Looking at Xiao Yan's angry face, full of gloomy clouds, there was always a smile on Chenfeng's face.

"No need, no matter what treasure you bring this time, I will never agree to break off the engagement."

Xiao Yan said in a strong tone, then pulled Xiao Zhan to his feet, turned around and prepared to leave: "Father, let's go!"

Looking at the Xiao family father and son who had already walked out of the pavilion, Chenfeng said calmly: "What if the treasure I brought can solve the problem in Brother Yan's body? Allowing him to cultivate Dou Qi successfully once again?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped in mid-step.
