Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!

Chapter 801 427: Do Not Look Down on a Poor Youth! Supreme Technique "Return the Validation"—Break Through!

At the Xiao Family Mansion, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family sat there with a heavy expression, also a bit wistful.

The current Tang Sect Master, Tang Ao Ran, sat beside him, also showing a regretful expression, saying, "Brother Xiao, this matter is truly unfortunate. I hope Brother Xiao can understand."

Beside them, Tang Wanwan, looking pitiful, politely performed a gesture of apology, then handed a redwood box to her father, Tang Ao Ran.

Tang Ao Ran, holding the wooden box, said emotionally, "Brother Xiao, both you and I are like brothers. I do not know how to apologize. Naturally, the Xiao Family lacks nothing. This is just a small token from me."

The Patriarch of the Xiao Family couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Brother Tang, having a further plan in mind is understandable. We can only say that the two children are destined not to be together."

Regarding this broken engagement, it's false to say the Xiao Family feels no resentment. After all, although the Xiao Family is not as powerful as the Tang Sect, it is still a prominent power in the Yu State. The news getting out will inevitably cause a loss of face.

Moreover, the marriage alliance between the two families was originally a great plan, advantageous for the long-term development of both families.

But in the end, it's just a matter of giving face to the other party.

Now that the Tang Sect Master, Tang Aotian, has lowered his stance, and the two families are indeed very close, there is no need to make things too ugly.

Hence, the patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Qingshan, planned to step down gracefully from this stage.

After all, even if there's no marriage alliance, there are still many businesses to do with the Tang Sect. Adults only see profits; they distinguish clearly between light and heavy matters.

But just at this moment, a young man suddenly appeared at the door, saying, "The humiliation the Tang Sect gave today, I, Xiao Yan, will remember!"

Xiao Qingshan, seeing this, quickly said, "Yan'er, do not be rude."

Xiao Yan stood with his chest out and said, "Father, there is no need to endure what cannot be endured."

Saying this, he stared at Tang Wanwan furiously and said, "In vain, I have loved you deeply, always considering you my true fiancée, but you are not self-respecting, ignorant of your propriety, agreeing to the dissolution of the engagement without any resistance."

"Do you know how deeply this hurts me!"

Saying this, Xiao Yan was already roaring with anger.

Tang Wanwan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "It's not like that, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, how could there be..."

"Don't say anymore! Tang Wanwan, I want you to know, today, it is not you who annuls the engagement, but I who divorce you!"

"The marriage contract between the Xiao Family and the Tang Family is henceforth void. I, Xiao Yan, remember my words: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, don't bully the poor youth!"

"By then, the ones regretting will be you."

Saying this, he gave Tang Wanwan a fierce look and turned to leave!

Watching his retreating figure, the three people in the hall were all silent.

Tang Wanwan even wanted to say, "Is this guy an idiot?", but she restrained herself with decorum.

Xiao Qingshan was also extremely embarrassed, hastily smoothing things over, "Yan'er is just impulsive, spoiled by me. I ask for Brother Tang and my niece's understanding."

Tang Ao Ran sighed, "Youth should have this kind of sharpness. Truly, the tiger father has spawned no dog son."

After some awkward compliments between both parties, the earlier embarrassment was barely alleviated.

No one noticed that the resolutely departing Xiao Yan wore a face of pain.

No one knew that he loved Tang Wanwan deeply.

Though not having seen her for ten years, he loved her nonetheless; after all, he had imagined being in love with her for ten years, even planning the boastful words about his famous-wife after marriage countless times!

But!

The damnable Old Demon Duan dared to intervene and steal his love!

Old Demon Duan, don't be arrogant just because you're in the limelight; I, Xiao Yan, will let you know that the future of the Martial World is mine!

Upon returning to his room, Xiao Yan quickly took out opium from the Big Money Sect and began smoking.

During the smoking process, his eyes were filled with melancholy, as if he was a man drowned in the sadness of lost love.

Then, perhaps the opium from the Big Money Sect took effect, and Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly turned fervent, saying, "A young man should face the wind with a hot-blooded spirit. Old Demon Duan, today's suffering will certainly be returned a hundredfold in the future."

"Let me train!"

He said, and went into the inner room, suddenly humming a tune.

"String your heart and my heart together string by string into a lucky clover into a circle…."

As he hummed, a green necklace on his chest faintly glowed green.

This necklace resembled the human heart, with seven parts linked together, distributed like the petals of a clover.

This was the confidence that made Xiao Yan dare to speak such words today.

Three years ago, by accident, eager to see the excitement, he fell off a cliff, broke his leg, but by a blessing in disguise, he obtained this "Seven Heart Pearl."

At first, he only considered it a common object from falling off the cliff, but one night, he suddenly heard a woman singing, "String your heart and my heart together string by string into a lucky clover into a circle…."

The melody was pleasant to the ear, and Xiao Yan could sing it after hearing it just once.

When he hummed along, he connected with the Seven Heart Pearl.

It was as if someone inside kept chanting scriptures to him, telling him things, and through this, he came to know that the "Seven Heart Pearl" is a rare magical artifact. As long as he uses it well, he can develop a "Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart."

The person who cultivates the "Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart" can possess extraordinary wisdom, mastering the most difficult divine skills in the world.

And now, he is very close to cultivating the "Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart."

Because the Seven Heart Pearl is always closely connected with his emotions, today he lost his love, his body suffering and hurting, full of resentment against Old Demon Duan, emotions running extremely high. And this intensity seemed like nourishment for the Seven Heart Pearl, making it extraordinarily active.
