Chapter 46

"WHAT! You're going to leave with him?" Upon hearing this, Lady Yan first showed a look of surprise, then anger surged in her eyes.

"Feyi, do you know what you're saying?"

Beside her, City Lord Yan was also stunned, looking at his daughter, who seemed to be serious and not joking!

But Xiao Yun is only sixteen years old?

However, when City Lord Yan looked over, he found that the young man was not so young after all. Although he still had a bit of childishness, he was almost as tall as himself. At such an age, in the Fengyue Kingdom, one could indeed start a family. It was just that this matter was too sudden for him.

What did this boy do to win over his daughter's heart?

"Father, Mother, I want to leave with Xiao Yun." Yan Shifei pursed her lips, her attitude firm as she repeated.

Lady Yan's eyes turned cold, "Do you have a fancy for this boy?"

Beside her, Yan Shiyi also stared at her sister with wide eyes.

How could her sister like Brother Xiao Yun?

Then wouldn't she become my rival?

Thinking of this, Yan Shiyi shook her head repeatedly, feeling very troubled.

"Indeed." Yan Shifei said.

"How can you like him?" Lady Yan frowned.

"Alas." City Lord Yan also sighed deeply.

"Why can't I like him?" Yan Shifei said firmly, "Back in Ziyun County, how many young men from noble families pursued me? But after they learned that I was poisoned and would not live long, how many came to visit me? Only Xiao Yun, when I was on the brink of death, risked his life to extract the poison with his martial soul."

"That poison is deadly to anyone who touches it, but Xiao Yun was willing to risk his life to save me. He is so devoted and righteous, isn't he worthy of my love? In this world, who else would do everything for me like he does?" The girl's words were like thunder, her voice tinged with a hint of a roar, as if trying to release the emotions suppressed in her heart.

These matters have been buried in her heart for too long.

Hearing her daughter's words, City Lord Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

They were well aware of the changes in Yan Shifei over the past two years.

The originally lively and adorable girl had become silent and withdrawn, refusing to communicate with others.

All of this was because she had experienced the ups and downs of life and had become disillusioned with human nature.

Now, hearing her daughter's words, the Yan couple felt a deep pain in their hearts.

"Turns out my sister also likes Brother Xiao Yun." Beside her, Yan Shiyi, who had been pouting, was moved by her sister's heartfelt words, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

My sister is indeed more pitiful than I am!

"Even so, how can Xiao Yun match you?"

Lady Yan's face was cold, "Though he can heal and save lives, he is ultimately just a low-level martial artist, unable to achieve greatness. Look at Lord Qiu, a disciple of the Tianyuan Sect's elder, who casually took out a second-grade detoxifying pill. If you follow him, you will be admired by all, and you can join the Tianyuan Sect to become a great martial artist, entering the vast world of martial arts."

"What future do you have with Xiao Yun?"

Lady Yan's words were cold, "Moreover, the Fang family is targeting the Xiao family. What future do you have with him?"

"Mother, how can you say that?" Yan Shifei frowned, "I like Xiao Yun because he is good to me. What does his future have to do with it? Even if others have a bright future, do they truly love me?"

"True love?" Lady Yan said, "Silly girl, you'll understand when you grow up. True love is just a beautiful wish in youth. If you live in constant fear, what use is true love? Listen to your mother and marry Lord Qiu and join the Tianyuan Sect."

"Mother, how can you be like this?" Beside her, Yan Shiyi couldn't bear it anymore, pouting, "How do you know Brother Xiao Yun has no future? He can control my sister's poison, he must be extraordinary, it's just not the right time yet."

"Besides, back then, Brother Xiao Yun was a genius in our Ziyun County. Fang Hao isn't even worthy to tie his shoes."

Seeing her mother's materialistic attitude, the little girl was very dissatisfied.

"Shiyi, you're still young, don't meddle here." Lady Yan scolded.

"Mother, I'm not young anymore." Yan Shiyi frowned, puffing out her chest to prove she wasn't young.

However, Lady Yan clearly ignored her.

"Xiao Yun, for these years of treating Feyi, our Yan family is very grateful to you. But if you think you can marry Feyi because of this, don't dream. I will never let Feyi marry you. Your Xiao family is in turmoil. Do you have the leisure to talk about love? You should think more about your own future, don't drag Feyi into this." Lady Yan said coldly.

"Ha, in the end, Lady Yan thinks I'm useless, a waste?" Xiao Yun smiled bitterly.

"You can say that." Lady Yan said.

"Mother!" Yan Shifei frowned, feeling a deep pain, "How can you say that about Xiao Yun?"

Xiao Yun waved his hand, signaling Yan Shifei not to say more, then said, "Lady Yan, rest assured, Shifei will not suffer with me. My Xiao family will not be destroyed. As for Fang Hao, I will defeat him in the clan competition a month from now."

"Defeat Fang Hao? You?" Lady Yan showed a look of disdain.

Beside her, City Lord Yan was curious, not knowing where the young man's confidence came from.

"Heard that his cultivation broke through two months ago, could it be?" City Lord Yan sensed the young man, trying to gauge his strength. Upon sensing, his eyebrows twitched, "This aura, it seems he has really entered the innate realm."

Thinking of this, City Lord Yan's expression became strange, "Could this boy's talent have been restored?"

"Indeed, I will defeat Fang Hao soon, and I will completely cure Shifei's poison." Xiao Yun said firmly.

"Shifei, let's go." Xiao Yun didn't say more, pulling Yan Shifei and turning to leave.

"Father, Mother, I would rather die than marry Qiu Yuchen." Yan Shifei said to her father and turned to leave.

"Feyi, stop right there." Lady Yan shouted.

Yan Shifei didn't look back and left with the young man.

She was afraid that if she softened and stayed, she would never have the chance to pursue her happiness. At that time, she would only be at the mercy of her parents, and she would never marry someone she didn't like, so she had to leave temporarily.

"You brat." Seeing her daughter leave without looking back, Lady Yan was so angry that her teeth chattered.

"Lady, there's no need to be angry." City Lord Yan waved his hand.

"Why?" Lady Yan said, "Let her stay with that waste, Xiao Yun?"

"You should know that the Fang family is about to move against the Xiao family. If Xiao Yun dies, what will happen to Feyi?" Lady Yan was full of worry.

"What's the point of stopping her now?" City Lord Yan frowned, "If she really can't bear it and takes her own life, what will we do? Since she likes him, let her go. I hope she won't regret it later."

"Alas." Lady Yan sighed repeatedly, "How could this girl like that boy, Xiao Yun?"

"What's wrong with Brother Xiao Yun?" Yan Shiyi muttered softly beside her.

"What's wrong with you today?" Seeing her younger daughter's unusual behavior, Lady Yan frowned.

"Shiyi, you're not allowed to see Xiao Yun anymore." Lady Yan scolded.

"I won't listen to you." Yan Shiyi pouted, "I'm leaving, I want to see if Brother Xiao Yun will take my sister away." With that, the little girl immediately ran out of the courtyard, disappearing in a blink.

"Brother Rong, look, these two girls have been spoiled by you." Lady Yan was so angry that her face turned green.

"Didn't you spoil them?" City Lord Yan smiled faintly, his eyes looking into the distance, "If that boy really entered the innate realm, he might be a promising talent!" Thinking of the boy's talent back then, he felt a surge of excitement.

As Xiao Yun led Yan Shifei away, on a high tower in the Yan family estate, two young men were watching them.

"Ha, Brother Qiu, it seems Yan Shifei really likes that waste, Xiao Yun, to refuse to marry you!" Fang Hao's lips curled into a sinister smile, looking at a young man in brocade clothes, tall and straight.

"Xiao Yun?" Qiu Yuchen raised an eyebrow, sneering, "Do you think the woman I like can be coveted by that waste?"

"I will make him regret it." Qiu Yuchen, with his handsome and dignified appearance, coldly stared at the young man in the courtyard, his eyes showing a hint of ferocity, adding a touch of evil to his demeanor.

"Of course, Brother Qiu is a hero among men, how can that waste compare?" Seeing Qiu Yuchen's ferocious expression, Fang Hao smiled, "But now that he has won the woman's heart, what do you plan to do?"

"Everything will go according to your plan." Qiu Yuchen's eyes showed a killing intent, "I will make him know how foolish it is to compete with me for a woman. As for Yan Shifei, I will make her suffer more than death for daring to refuse me."

"Ha, with Brother Qiu's words, everything is easy!" Fang Hao laughed, his eyes narrowing with satisfaction.

"Xiao family? I'll see how you can compete with me."

Xiao Yun led Yan Shifei towards the Xiao family.

Looking at the gate of the Yan family estate, Yan Shifei's beautiful eyes blinked, feeling a deep sigh in her heart.

She never thought things would come to this.

"Are you regretful for leaving the Yan family with me?" Xiao Yun knew the girl's reluctance and asked.

"Since I've made the choice, I won't regret it." Yan Shifei turned her head, looking at Xiao Yun beside her, her beautiful eyes showing a firm expression. The moment she made her decision, she was prepared for everything, with no regrets.

"Don't worry, I will solve all the troubles." Xiao Yun said, "In the end, your parents will change their view of me."

"I, Xiao Yun, will not be a waste forever." The young man said firmly, "I will not let my woman suffer."

He knew that Yan Shifei was under great pressure for leaving her family, so he had to give her confidence to help her through everything.

"I believe in you." Yan Shifei's beautiful eyes blinked, deeply moved. As long as this young man had this intention, everything was enough.

The two looked at each other, their affection deep, and their tightly held hands became even tighter.
