What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Chapter 36: Taking You to Have Fun



Nalan Yanran stared in astonishment at the two flickering figures on the martial arts arena. Her dynamic vision as a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) was completely unable to capture their movements!

Moreover, the sonic booms produced by the collision of their bodies clearly demonstrated the immense strength of both individuals.

Nalan Yanran was convinced in her heart that if she were to fight either of them, the result would only be instant defeat!

Is this really just the strength of Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level)?

Nalan Yanran’s heart sank deeply. Even the guard with a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) cultivation level in the Nalan family, would never have such a show of force!

Three-years bet?

It wouldn’t even take three years!

Xiao Yan could knock her down with ease right now!

At this moment, Nalan Yanran suddenly recalled the words Ya Fei had said to her just now.

“Put away your arrogance, put away your self-righteousness.”

“Setting aside your family background, do you really deserve to be Xiao Yan’s wife?”

!!!!!!!!

Despair was written all over Nalan Yanran’s face as she knelt down powerlessly.

What have I been so proud of all this time…

Because of her exceptional talent, she had been hailed as a once-in-a-century pride of heaven by those around her, and Nalan Yanran was extremely proud of the adulation she received from others.

It was precisely because of this that she looked down on her unseen fiancé, the fallen genius, and made such a pompous show of bringing Ge Ye to Wutan City for the annulment.

Although Nalan Yanran knew that even if she hadn’t known that Xiao Yan was him, her unseen fiancé would still be a talented person adored by many, and she would still come back to annul the engagement because she had already fallen in love with Xiao Yan before even knowing his name. She couldn’t bear to be with anyone else in her life.

But in that case, she would never have used that kind of high-handedness, even bordering on coercion, to force the other party to annul the engagement!

This was a matter of mindset, a fundamental mistake, and Nalan Yanran wouldn’t make any excuses for it.

In her heart, Nalan Yanran posed a soul-searching question to herself.

Do I really deserve Xiao Yan?

Meanwhile, as Nalan Yanran was in her low spirits, the victor was decided on the martial arts arena.

Due to his momentary lack of reaction, Xiao Ning was hit hard on the shoulder by Xiao Yan’s punch, and he fell directly from the martial arts platform, signifying his defeat.

“Ouch… my butt…”

Xiao Ning frowned, massaging his buttocks as he stood up and looked up at Xiao Yan on the martial arts platform.

“As expected, I still can’t beat you…”

Although Xiao Ning had anticipated this result, there was still some unwillingness in his heart.

And standing on the platform, Xiao Yan also clasped his fists and bowed to Xiao Ning, smiling.

“Cousin Xiao Ning, please concede.”

“What’s there not to concede? If I can’t win, I can’t win.”

Xiao Ning helplessly ran his hand through his hair. Losing was losing, and the fact was undeniable. Xiao Ning wasn’t the type to be unable to accept defeat.

Immediately, Xiao Yan jumped down from the martial arts platform, and the tester finally came back to his senses, quickly announcing the next set of contestants.

“Hey, cousin Xiao Yan~”

Xiao Ning slung his arm around Xiao Yan’s shoulder and glanced cautiously at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er, who were attentively watching the match on the platform. He deliberately lowered his voice and smirked.

“We don’t have anything to do today. Let’s go! Cousin will take you to Ningchun Building!”

Xiao Ning was a person who loved to have fun. He had been cooped up in the mountains for three months and was busy helping the Xiao Clan prepare for the Lunar New Year after coming down. He didn’t even have time to go out and have fun.

And now, the opportunity had come!

However, before Xiao Yan could answer, the voice of Yao Chen inside the ring started shouting.

(Come on, come on! Let’s go to Ningchun Building! We’ve been to many high-end places before, and I want to see what kind of service Wutan City has to offer you guys~)

“…”

Hearing Yao Chen’s words, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time and weakly asked in his heart.

(Senior Yao, aren’t you… a woman?)

(So what? Can’t a woman go to that kind of place to have fun?)

Yao Chen pouted dissatisfiedly and then spoke with a hint of excitement.

(When it comes down to it, what’s good to touch on a man’s body? A male cultivator body skin has a rough and terrible texture, their hands are horrible to feel. Some of their faces make you sick just looking at them. It’s better when I am doing it with young girls. Just remember the time when I had the entire Luofeng Pavilion to myself for a whole month. That time was truly enjoyable. It still makes me reminisce now~)

Listening to Yao Chen’s words, Xiao Yan could almost see the drool dripping from Yao Chen’s mouth.

Although he didn’t know where Luofeng Pavilion was, just by the name, he could guess that it was similar in nature to Ningchun Building.

Yao Chen’s previously mysterious and imposing image in Xiao Yan’s heart instantly dropped several levels.

Xiao Yan pinched his nose bridge with a slight headache.

It seemed that his beautiful and celestial-like teacher had a nature far more unbearable than he had realized.

“No, I won’t go.” Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly and said to Xiao Ning, “After all, I am the son of the clan Patriarch. My father might have other matters to discuss with me later, so it’s best to avoid leaving without permission.”

Upon hearing Xiao Yan’s words, a slight disappointment appeared on Xiao Ning’s face, and Yao Chen in the ring let out a regretful sigh.

“Alright, if you don’t want to go, I won’t force you. I’ll go by myself then. See you later!”

After saying that, Xiao Ning waved his hand and swiftly walked through the bustling crowd, disappearing in an instant.

Watching Xiao Ning disappear in that direction, Xiao Yan helplessly shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze to the Xiao Clan juniors who were still competing on the martial arts platform.

“But indeed, there’s nothing to do now…” Xiao Yan muttered to himself and leisurely walked through the crowd. “Let’s just wander around.”

Just as Xiao Yan was passing through the dense crowd and about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. He took a few steps back and immediately saw Nalan Yanran kneeling in the crowd.

Why was this girl kneeling on the ground?

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and approached Nalan Yanran. He squatted down and asked softly, “Little glutton, why are you kneeling?”

Upon hearing this familiar nickname, Nalan Yanran instinctively shrank her body. She slowly turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression.

“Xiao Yan…”

Nalan Yanran stared blankly at Xiao Yan for a few seconds before regaining her senses. Soon, an extremely complicated expression appeared on her face. She turned her head away and dared not look into Xiao Yan’s eyes.

“I’m fine…”

Nalan Yanran slowly stood up, lowered her head, and let her hair cover her eyes. She whispered to Xiao Yan, “I’ll go back to the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect first. Please bid farewell to Uncle Xiao on my behalf.”

After speaking, Nalan Yanran turned to leave but was suddenly stopped by Xiao Yan, who firmly grabbed her wrist.

“What happened?”

Xiao Yan furrowed his brows tightly and asked with a serious tone.

Nalan Yanran didn’t even care that he called her a little glutton. This was a big issue!

Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment and then answered softly.

“I’m fine. There’s no need to worry about me.”

As she tried to retract her hand, Xiao Yan held onto it tightly, not letting go as she wished.

“Let go of me.”

“If you leave normally, I naturally won’t stop you,” Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran’s profile and said in a calm voice, “But in your current state, I absolutely cannot let you leave.”

The first reason was that Nalan Yanran was the precious daughter of the Nalan family and also the future Sect Master of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect. If she returned in this condition, it was likely that rumors would spread about the Xiao Clan mistreating Nalan Yanran.

Bad news travels fast, and Xiao Yan has experienced it firsthand.

The second reason was that although he didn’t know why Nalan Yanran had become like this, Xiao Yan vaguely felt that it was related to him. Because of this, he couldn’t just ignore the situation.

But with her current appearance, it would be difficult to rely on words alone.

With a firm decision in his heart, Xiao Yan held Nalan Yanran’s jade-like arm and walked toward the exit of the Xiao Clan’s courtyard. He turned his head, smiled at her before she could ask any questions, and said, “Come with me. I’ll take you to a fun place.”
