Xiao Manors parlor.

The atmosphere was grave.

The Xiao familys head and the elders were all gathered here, their gazes fixed on a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, on the other hand, was aloof as he leisurely drank his tea.

Brother Yunhao, we havent seen each other for a long time. Why are you here to drink tea today? Sitting on the main seat, Xiao Nians voice was cheerful.

Li Yunhao put down his teacup and said with a smile, Family Head Xiao, lets stop beating around the bush. You should already know the purpose of my visit?

Xiao Nians face immediately darkened.

The Xiao Familys Ancestor had passed away, this was the most vulnerable period the Xiao family had been in.

How many families in Wu Yang City were targeting the Xiao familys meat!

The Li family had sent someone over at this moment. Naturally, it would be a joyous matter.

There could only be one reason: Marriage Annulment!

However, Xiao Nian still held on to his last hope. Brother Yunhao, please speak frankly.

Li Yunhao indifferently said, Li Ran is the Sheng Zi of Youluo Temple. There are rules prohibiting marriage. Im afraid its difficult to fulfill the engagement with Miss Xiao. In order not to delay Miss Xiaos marriage, this engagement should be void.

These words were very beautiful.

However, everyone in the Xiao family knew that the sect prohibition was a smokescreen.

After all these years, the Li family had never mentioned the engagement. However, when the Xiao Family was on the brink of collapse, they came to annul the engagement for this reason.

They clearly did not want to get involved in this mess.

Xiao Nian forced a smile and said, Brother Yunhao, shes only 18 this year, Im not in a hurry to talk about her marriage. From what I see, we should think about it a little longer.

He wasnt certain that Xiao Qingge would marry Li Ran.

However, at this critical juncture, if the Li family stood out to annul the engagement, the Xiao Family would be a piece of fish on the chopping block.

With this marriage contract, others would face this deterrent.

Li Yunhao shook his head and said, Family Head Xiao, youre a smart person. Theres no need for me to say this. You should know the answer, right?

Xiao Nian frowned. Brother Yunhao

Li Yunhao raised his hand and snapped, Since thats the case, Ill just say it straight. This engagement must be annulled! This is an announcement, not a discussion!

As soon as he said that, the Xiao familys face turned pale!

Bang!

The Third Elder of the Xiao family slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, Your Li family is going too far! This engagement was set by our ancestors, how could you just give it up with a single sentence? You arent putting the Xiao family in your eyes!

Li Yunhaos expression turned cold as he sneered, So what if the ancestors decided on it? Li Ran is no ordinary person!

Impudent!

The members of the Xiao Family were extremely furious. But the next moment, they became excited.

The source of the excitement was a female voice, Is this what Li Ran wanted or the Li Family?

Everyone raised their heads and saw Xiao Qingge walking in slowly.

Qingge, go back. This isnt your place to intrude! Xiao Nian frowned.

Xiao Qingge shook her head. Its my marriage. Of course, I should be here.

She looked at Li Yunhao. Elder Li, you havent answered my question yet.

Li Yunhao humphed. So what? Can you change the truth?

Xiao Qingge said indifferently, If you want to annul the engagement, you can. Let Li Ran personally annul the engagement. Then, I, Xiao Qingge, will immediately break the engagement!

Qingge! Xiao Nians expression changed.

What if he doesnt come? Li Yunhao narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Qingge did not back down and looked at him. Even though my Xiao Family are facing a calamity, not everyone can step on a marriage contract between two ancestors. How could a mere Hall Elder have the qualifications to annul the marriage?!

Her voice was clear and resounding in the hall.

The atmosphere quieted down.

Good, very good! Li Yunhao laughed angrily. You are indeed worthy of being a fairy. Even if you have become a mortal, you still have such an imposing aura!

Then please remember what you said today. When Li Ran comes to annul the engagement, you must immediately annul the engagement!

After speaking, Li Yunhao left with a flick of his sleeve.

Xiao Nian sighed. Qingge, youre too impulsive. When Li Ran arrives Hai!

According to his thoughts, annulment of the engagement was a matter of certainty.

The longer this matter dragged on, the more breathing room the Xiao family had.

However, Xiao Qingge had sealed off her escape route.

Xiao Qingge looked out of the window and was a little nervous.

Although she knew Li Ran was sincere, could he withstand the combined pressure of the family and the sect?

Yun Xiao Village

With Yue Jianlis careful care and the help of the herbs, Li Rans body had almost recovered.

Ever since Li Ran displayed his divine power, they had been worshipped by the villagers.

Not only was the food delicious, but they were also very respectful towards him.

Auntie Sun didnt dare to joke with them anymore. As soon as she met them, she would say, Immortal, Immortal.

This change made the two uncomfortable. So they didnt want to stay any longer.

The next day, Li Ran left behind some banknotes to pay for his accommodation and meals.

Without a word, the two of them quietly left the village.
