Chapter 34: Discussing Actions, Ignoring IntentionsXiao Yan is my fianc, said Nn Yanran firmly to Ya Fei. The doubts in Ya Feis heart immediately dissipated.


    Ah so thats how it is.


    Ya Fei narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.


    Shes here to dere war with me, huh?


    Immediately, Ya Fei replied with a calm tone.


    And then?


    !!!


    Nn Yanran had considered various possible responses from Ya Fei, but she never expected her to use such a knowingly rhetorical question to counter her. Nn Yanrans expression twisted slightly, caught off guard by Ya Feis act of feigning ignorance.


    After all, she was still a young girl, and there was a stark contrast between her mentality and her way of dealing with peoplepared to Ya Fei, who had been navigating between major ns as a businesswoman.


    There was a considerable gap in their level.


    Facing this mature woman, Nn Yanran couldnt maintain herposure any longer and waited for Ya Fei with a hint of anger, making her intentions clearer.


    He is my fianc, Nn Yanrans fianc! The future son-inw of the Nn n! The husband of the future Sect Master of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect!


    So, as the future sessor of the Miteer Family, I sincerely hope that you show some self-restraint!


    Facing Nn Yanran, who was on the verge of rage, Ya Fei maintained her calm demeanor, lightly touching her cheek with slender jade-like fingers, and spoke.


    So, why do you emphasize this point?


    Ya Fei appeared once again as if she didnt understand, but then seemed to remember something.


    Speaking of which, the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect came to the Xiao n in great numbers not too long ago, and at the time, I was wondering what it was about, Ya Fei paused and looked at Nn Yanran with a slight smile. Later, I heard from an acquaintance that the group was led by Elder Ge Ye of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect, and the Young Sect Master of the sect was also among them. I was initially curious why the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect approached the Xiao n.


    As she spoke, Ya Fei raised an eyebrow lightly.


    If you are Xiao Yans fiance, then I understand it to some extent.


    The following is just my personal spection, so please dont take offense, Miss Nn, Ya Fei bent down slightly, leaning closer to Nn Yanrans ear, and spoke with her lips slightly moving.


    At that time, you were probably there to force the Xiao n to break off the engagement, right?


    !!!


    Nn Yanrans heart trembled, and her expression became unpleasant.


    As Ya Fei said, she had made such a big fuss when she came to the Xiao n precisely to forcefully pressure them into canceling the engagement between Xiao Yan and herself. This fact was known to anyone who was aware of the engagement.


    And Ya Feis guess was not unfounded. Xiao Yan was widely known as a waste back then, and he was a world apart from Nn Yanran, who had an immeasurable future as the proud daughter of heaven. It was only natural for anyone with a normal mindset to feel dissatisfied with having a waste as their life partner and consider breaking off the engagement.


    Nn Yanran took a step back abruptly, defending herself.


    I-I didnt know that Xiao Yan was him! If I had known in advance, I would never havee to break off the engagement!!!


    (What have I brought upon myself~)


    Ya Fei chuckled softly.


    Spection was still just spection, and as long as Nn Yanran vehemently denied it, no one would take the matter of canceling the engagement seriously.


    And now, Nn Yanrans wordspletely confirmed it. She had indeede to the Xiao n with the intention of breaking off the engagement.


    Then, Ya Fei furrowed her brows lightly.


    ording to Nn Yanrans words, she had already known Xiao Yan beforeing to the Xiao n?


    Setting aside this doubt for now, Ya Fei held her jade-like arm and looked at Nn Yanran with a seductive smile.


    Miss Nn, after being involved in family affairs for so many years, Ive learned the most important thing.


    In all matters, actions speak louder than intentions. It doesnt matter how someone feels in their heart; what matters is how they act.


    Dont you agree, Miss Nn~


    Ya Feis words hit Nn Yanrans chest like a heavy hammer.


    Ya Fei was right. No matter how she tried to exin, the fact remained that she hade to the Xiao n with the intention of breaking off the engagement. There was no denying it.


    If she hadnt seen Xiao Yan that day, she would have forced the Xiao n to annul the engagement.


    At that time, she was just one step away from irreversibility.


    Nn Yanrans mood visibly sank.


    However, what Nn Yanran didnt expect was that Ya Fei suddenly spoke up.


    Hehe~~~ Alright, I wont tease you anymore.


    Eh?


    Nn Yanran raised her head in a daze, staring at Ya Fei whose attitude had suddenly changed.


    Its just that you were a bit too arrogant earlier, which annoyed me a little. So I just yed a small trick on you. I hope you wont take it to heart~


    Saying that, Ya Fei looked towards the venue of theing-of-age ceremony and spoke softly.


    I hope you remember that Xiao Yan cannot be bound by a mere marriage contract.


    Perhaps you believe that this is your trump card, your ultimate weapon. But if you truly like him, you shouldnt use it to threaten him.


    Upon hearing Ya Feis words, Nn Yanran immediately retorted.


    I-I didnt


    But halfway through her sentence, Nn Yanran suddenly froze, recalling the three-year agreement made in the reception hall when she first came to the Xiao n.


    Did she really not use the marriage contract to threaten Xiao Yan?


    Nn, as an elder, let me give you some advice, Ya Fei looked at Nn Yanran and spoke slowly.


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


    Setting aside family background, are you truly worthy of Xiao Yan?


    Matching backgrounds is indeed a universal truth, and I agree with that.


    But have you really considered the reasons behind matching backgrounds?


    Think about it carefully.


    After saying that, Ya Fei walked away, leaving behind onest sentence before leaving.


    Oh, and what I said earlier about actions speaking louder than intentions wasnt entirely meant to strike you. You can also take it as apliment.


    After Ya Fei had been gone for a while, Nn Yanran remained stunned in ce, with Ya Feis words echoing in her mind.


    Her gaze turned towards the venue of theing-of-age ceremony, and she walked there dazedly.


    Coincidentally, the person standing on the stage was Xiao Yan, and the testing stele in front of him shimmered with dazzling golden characters.


    One-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) !


    Nn Yanrans pupils contracted. Although she had already sensed something when she saw Xiao Yan yesterday, it wasnt until this moment that she confirmed it for sure.


    In just a little over three months, Xiao Yan had gone from a three-tier Dou Zhi (Battle Disciple, 1st Level) to a one-star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) ! Even Nn Yanran, the renowned pride of heaven, couldntpare at all!


    And what happened nextpletely shocked Nn Yanran.


    All of the young members of the Xiao n had actually reached the level of Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) !


    Even Xiao Xuners strength had reached the level of a three-star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) !


    Nn Yanran couldnt believe what she was seeing.


    She herself was only a two-star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) .


    But Nn Yanrans shock was far from over.


    In order to make theing-of-age ceremony more interesting, Xiao Zhan had also set up a draw to determine the sparring matches.


    In other words, realbat.


    After the young members of the Xiao n finished drawing lots, the first person to take the stage was none other than Xiao Yan.
