Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Xiao Xun'er's Anger
"Young Master Chenfeng, did you take the wrong one?" Gu Ni poked Chenfeng's arm and whispered.
"If you don't anything to say, don't talk nonsense." Chenfeng immediately glared at him, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Gu Ni shut up immediately, and then seemed to understand something. He looked at Xiao Yan, who was looking excited as he took the jade bottle from Ya Fei, with a trace of teasing in his eyes.
'It turns out that Young Master Chenfeng is playing tricks on this guy.' Gu Ni thought to himself.
It was clear that he recognized the contents of the jade bottle—after all, he had personally handed it to Chenfeng just half an hour ago!
'I hope this guy didn't lie to me.' Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, Xiao Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Now, he could only choose to believe in Chenfeng. If this Qi Gathering Powder can really restore his previous talent, that would prove that this young master did not deceive him.
In this case, even if the engagement was broken off, Xiao Yan will feel much better.
After all, compared with his own future, Nalan Yanran, whom he had never met before, was far less valuable in Xiao Yan's heart.
A fiancée he has never met and a Qi Gathering Powder that can help him restore his talent. If he have to make a choice between the two. Xiao Yan would choose the latter without hesitation.
Nalan Yanran looked down on him, and to be honest, Xiao Yan didn't care much about this talented fiancée of his.
After all, the two have never met each other before. Nalan Yanran is a stranger to Xiao Yan and he has no feelings for her at all.
If not for his pride as a man, Xiao Yan might not have been so adamantly opposed to breaking off the engagement this time.
After all, a broken engagement wouldn't just tarnish his own reputation—it would also humiliate his father and bring disgrace upon the entire Xiao family.
'Within three months, if my talent has not recovered, it means that this guy has tricked me, then I...'
A hint of viciousness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but then he couldn't help but realize he something, and his eyes dimmed...
What can he do?
He suddenly discovered that with the other party's identity and strength. Even if he deceived him and played him like a fool, there was nothing he could do.
He is a loser, how can still want to take revenge?
"Now, I can only hope that this Qi Gathering Powder is really effective." Xiao Yan murmured secretly in his heart.
"Young Master Chenfeng, I will ask someone to deliver the marriage certificate to you here later today."
At this time, Xiao Zhan took Xiao Yan and bowed his hands to Chenfeng, and then the two of them left the manor directly, as if they were anxious to go back to verify the effects of the Qi Gathering Powder.
Watching the two figures retreat in haste, a faint smile appeared on Chenfeng's lips. The matter of breaking off the engagement had finally been resolved seamlessly.
"Brother Chenfeng, I didn't expect that Misty Cloud Sect would be willing to take out such a valuable medical powder to compensate Xiao Yan. What grade is this medical powder? Could it be a tier 6 medical powder?"
As Ya Fei approached Chenfeng, a trace of curiosity flickered across her delicate face. Tilting her head slightly, she asked with genuine interest.
"Pfft!"
After hearing Ya Fei's words, before Chenfeng could reply, Gu Ni behind him couldn't take it anymore and started laughing.
"Supervisor Gu Ni, what are you laughing at?" Ya Fei looked at Gu Ni who was holding his belly mid laughter, looking a little confused.
Gu Ni glanced at Chenfeng and saw that the other party did not stop him this time, so he explained: "Miss Ya Fei, what Young Master Chenfeng gave Xiao Yan was not a magic Qi Gathering Powder at all, but... "
Gu Ni paused, and finally say the two words "Ruyi Powder!!"
"What?"
Ya Fei blinked, momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chenfeng. A faint trace of incredulity colored her expression as she asked, "Did you... play tricks on the Xiao family father and son?"
"No, I'm not foolingthem, I can guarantee that within three months, Xiao Yan's talent will definitely return." Chenfeng smiled lightly and didn't explain much.
Xiao Yan's problem does not require any magic pill. As long as Yao Chen appears and stop scatter his Dou Qi, his talent will naturally return.
None of the three noticed a fleeting shadow in the corner of the manor. It moved swiftly and silently, disappearing into the darkness without leaving a trace.
...
In the backyard of the Xiao family, near a tranquil lotus pond, a girl clad in a light purple dress stood gracefully within a pavilion.
The soft breeze brushed past, lifting her silken black hair that cascaded to her delicate waist, causing it to flutter gently. The hem of her dress danced lightly in the wind, offering a fleeting glimpse of her flawless, ivory legs.
Her gaze remained serene as she looked out at the pond, her presence exuding an ethereal calmness. She resembled a lotus blooming amidst the still waters—pure, noble, and otherworldly, like a fairy untouched by mortal concerns.
"Miss."
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind the girl.
"Uncle Ying, you're back so soon? How is brother Xiao Yan doing?" Xiao Xun'er was a little surprised when she heard the voice.
"Miss, Xiao Yan is fine. This is what happened..." Then, the man in black slowly told what happened to Xiao Yan in the Miteer Auction House side manor.
Standing by the lotus pond, Xiao Xun'er listened quietly to what the man in black said. When she heard that Xiao Yan had been divorced today, she was a little surprised, but then her soft eyes flashed with saddest .
'Brother Xiao Yan is so pitiful. These people actually come to break off the engagement...'
'Brother Xiao Yan must feel very uncomfortable and humiliated at this moment...'
As memories of the scorn and ridicule Xiao Yan had endured over the years surfaced in her mind, a cold glint flickered in Xiao Xun'er's eyes.
She thought of him retreating to the quiet solitude of the back mountain, silently licking his wounds in pain. The image of his silent resilience stirred a deep anger within her.
"Why?" she murmured to herself, her voice trembling with a mix of fury and sorrow. "Why do these people insist on hurting Brother Xiao Yan?"
Her delicate fists clenched tightly, the soft demeanor she usually carried giving way to an unyielding resolve. In her heart, she swore to shield him from harm, no matter the cost.
"Uncle Ying, who is the person who came to break off the engagement this time? Is it Nalan Yanran?"
After coming to the Xiao family for so many years, with Xiao Xun'er's abilities, she naturally already knew that Xiao Yan had such an engagement.
"It's not Nalan Yanran. The person here this time is Nalan Yanran's senior brother, a direct descendant of the Miteer family, Miteer Chenfeng." The man in black replied.
"The Miteer family..."
Xiao Xun'er's face was expressionless, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Continue, what happened behind the scenes? Did they threaten Brother Xiao Yan?"
The man in black nodded and continued talking about what happened in the manor.
"Can the Qi Gathering Powder refined by Pill King Gu He restore brother Xiao Yan's talent?" After hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Regarding Xiao Yan's condition, over the years, she has also sent her bodyguard, Ling Ying, back to inquire within the clan, hoping to find a way to treat him.
But what disappointed Xiao Xun'er is that even the Ancient Gu Clan couldn't provide a treatment method.
So it's understandable that Xiao Xun'er was immediately shocked when she heard that the elixir taken out by Misty Cloud Sect could actually solve Xiao Yan's physical condition.
The problem that the Ancient Gu Clan couldn't solve can be solved by a mere Pill King Gu He King from the Jia Ma Empire?
"Miss, Xiao Yan was indeed deceived. All he got was a... very ordinary medical powder, which is of no use to him." The man in black paused and said.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er was stunned, and then an uncontrollable anger rose in his heart.
"You mean, this guy named Miteer Chenfeng, has fooled brothers Xiao Yan to cancel his engagement?"
The man in black did not reply, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"What a Miteer family, what a Misty Cloud Sect!"
"This is simply too much!"
Xiao Xun'er's expression darkened, her usually calm and composed demeanor replaced with a fierce determination. The faint redness in her otherwise radiant eyes betrayed the simmering anger consuming her heart.
"You dare to treat my Brother Xiao Yan like this? You will pay the price!"
Her voice was soft yet carried a chilling undertone. With a graceful yet deliberate motion, Xun'er extended her slender hand into the air, her fingers seeming to carve authority from the void. The coldness in her tone was matched only by the icy resolve on her beautiful face.
"Uncle Ying," she commanded firmly, her voice unyielding, "take action tonight. Bring that so-called Miteer Chenfeng to the back mountain of the Xiao family."
Her words lingered in the air like a decree, leaving no room for refusal. The cold determination in her eyes signaled that this was a night Chenfeng would not forget.
