Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Xiao Yan agrees to break off the engagement!
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Chenfeng's words, the Xiao family father and son immediately stopped and turned to look at Chenfeng, with disbelief on their faces.
"Young Master Chenfeng, are you telling the truth?" Xiao Zhan was the first to react, his face betraying a flicker of excitement as he leaned forward.
Xiao Yan on the side also had a look of intense expectation in his eyes, wanting to get Chenfeng's confirmation.
Three years!
Three whole years!
God knows how much he suffered in the past three years!
Getting so many contemptuous looks! No matter where he went, he will be pointed at and ridiculed!
In the past three years, he has been dreaming of regaining his talent all the time.
All this time, his father Xiao Zhan has also searched for many treasures and elixirs to heal his body.
But all of them had no effect, and his cultivation has always stayed at the 3-Star Dou Disciple realm.
Originally, Xiao Yan had been consumed by despair, believing that this grim fate would follow him for the rest of his life.
However, in that moment, a glimmer of hope emerged from Chenfeng's words, sparking a surge of excitement within him.
At this moment, the Xiao family father and son stared at Chenfeng with burning eyes, wanting to hear the exact details from him.
Looking at the eager expressions of the two, Chenfeng smiled faintly and spoke slowly: "My Misty Cloud Sect has also received word about Brother Xiao Yan's situation. So, when I came to Wu Tan City, my teacher specifically asked me to bring him a remedy. This Qi Gathering Powder was personally refined by Pill King Gu He. If Brother Xiao Yan takes it, his issues will certainly be resolved."
The Qu Gathering Powder personally refined by Pill King Gu He!
Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard Chenfeng's words.
Pill King Gu He has an extremely huge influence in the Jia Ma Empire. His skills in refining pills and medicine are so miraculous that countless powerful people want to curry favor with him, but they don't have the chance.
Gu He is not only miraculous in refining medicine, but his own strength has already advanced to the level of Dou King, ranking among the top ten strongest men in the Jia Ma Empire.
For such a person, the value of the elixir handed down from him will probably increase several times.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan's face showed a look of ecstasy. 'The elixir refined by Pill King Gu He himself will definitely be able to solve the problems in Yan'er's body.'
Definitely!
Xiao Yan, standing on the side, was also overwhelmed with excitement, his body trembling slightly.
Seeing the behavior of the two of them, the smile on Chenfeng's face became even brighter: "Brother Xiao Yan, as long as you agree to break off the engagement, I will immediately offer the Qi Gathering Powder."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed, and the excitement in his heart slowly subsided. He stopped and looked at Chenfeng, his eyes flickering a little, as if hesitant.
Although Xiao Yan desperately wanted to obtain the elixir from Chenfeng to restore the talent he had lost three years ago, the thought of agreeing to the engagement break-up in exchange left him feeling reluctant and aggrieved. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being forced to accept a favor he didn't want, as if he were being humiliated all over again.
"Yan'er, why are you still standing there? Agree to Young Master Chenfeng immediately!"
Seeing Xiao Yan remain silent, Xiao Zhan at the side suddenly became anxious: "Since Nalan Yanran doesn't like you, why are you obsessed with a marriage certificate? What's the use anyway? As long as you recover your cultivation and become a strong powerhouse in the future, what kind of woman can't you get it?"
For Xiao Zhan, Nalan Yanran is naturally incomparable to his son's future.
Moreover, because of Nalan Yanran attempt to break-up the engagement, he hated Nalan Yanran in his heart. If he could get a Qi Gathering Powder in exchange to break off the engagement and restore Xiao Yan's talent, he would naturally agree without hesitation.
Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Yan was shocked and suddenly came back to his senses.
Yes!
Father is right!
As long as he become a powerful powerhouse in the future, what can't he do or get?
'If I can't recover my cultivation talent, I'm afraid I will just be a waste with the cultivation of a 3-Star Dou Disciple for the rest of my whole life!'
He will be looked down upon wherever he go!
'If I were a strong person, how could Nalan Yanran break off the engagement? The reason for all this is because I am a waste and have low strength.'
Xiao Zhan's words instantly awakened Xiao Yan and made him put away the trace of youthful arrogance in his heart.
"Okay! Young Master Chenfeng, I agree to break off the engagement!" Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head, looked at Chenfeng, and said decisively.
The moment he said these words, the palms under his sleeves were already tightly clenched.
On the Dou Qi Continent, it is a great shame for a man to have his wife break off the engagement.
Now that he agrees to break off the engagement by Nalan Yanran request, it means that he will have to bear this shame in the future.
Although his face was still calm at this moment, he was already shouting silently in his heart.
'Nalan Yanran!'
'Misty Cloud Sect!'
'Just you wait!
'I, Xiao Yan, will never forget today's humiliation!'
Xiao Yan is very confident in his talent. Three years ago, he was already a Dou Practitioner.
If he can regain his talent, he will definitely be able to create another miracle and rise again in the future.
'If I become a powerful cultivator in the future, I must go to Misty Cloud Sect to wash away the humiliation I suffered today!'
The countless ridicules and glares he received in the past three years taught him to be patient.
"Okay, Brother Xiao Yan is indeed a decisive men. In this case, please hand over the marriage certificate." When Chenfeng heard that Xiao Yan agreed to break off the engagement, Chenfeng was immediately overjoyed and urged Xiao Yan.
"Wait!"
Xiao Yan looked at Chenfeng and suddenly said: "How can you guarantee that this Qi Gathering Powder can cure my body?"
Xiao Zhan on the side also reacted and looked at Chenfeng, waiting for his answer.
Neither father nor son were fools, and naturally they will not believe that the elixir in his hand can definitely bring back Xiao Yan's talent based solely on Chenceng's words.
Chenfeng's eyes narrowed.
He naturally never thought about asking Xiao Yan to hand over the marriage certificate with just a few words
"Brother Xiao Yan, I promise you on behalf of the Misty Cloud Sect that after taking the Qi Gathering Powder I brought, your hidden physical problems will be resolved within three months." Chenfeng said with a firm tone, then he added "You don't think I will risk the repetition of my sect just for you right?"
Chenfeng dared to promise this to Xiao Yan because he know here was no problem with his body at all, but his regression in cultivation was all caused by the Yao Chen hidden in the ring on Xiao Yan's finger.
Chenfeng investigated previously and found that according to the current timeline, there is still one month until the Xiao family's Coming of Age Ceremony.
And according to the original book, Yao Chen should be about to reveal his true form in front of Xiao Yan. By then, Xiao Yan's talent will naturally return regardless of what elixir he consume.
Therefore, the Qi Gathering Powder mentioned by Chenfeng was completely fake and was created to fool Xiao Yan.
But so what?
Three months later, Xiao Yan will definitely recover his cultivation talent. At least on this matter, he did not deceive Xiao Yan.
Chenfeng's gaze lingered on the ring in Xiao Yan's hand for a fleeting moment, a storm of thoughts swirling in his mind.
To be fair, the idea of snatching the ring had crossed his mind more than once. If he took it, Xiao Yan could instantly restore his cultivation. Grateful beyond measure, Xiao Yan might even hand over the marriage certificate without a second thought.
Moreover, stripping Xiao Yan, the son of fate, of his golden finger would be a masterstroke. Without that advantage, Xiao Yan's rise to power would be stunted, and the looming threat he posed could be neutralized forever.
But the question remained: with his current strength, could he truly afford to provoke the wrath of Yao Chen, the entity within the ring?
The answer, of course, was a resounding no.
