Chapter 339: Yao Chen Sets Xiao Yan Up Did I… Lose?!
With a stern and imposing expression filled with disgust, Gu He pointed at Xiao Yan and scolded,
"Brat, you are truly repulsive to the extreme! Just to satisfy your perverted thoughts, you used external power in this battle. This fight is over you've admitted defeat yourself!"
Xiao Yan's face darkened upon hearing Gu He's words.
Damn it… He was right!
That damn Yao Chen! At the critical moment, just to sneak a peek at a woman's body, he had interfered…
Otherwise, how could he have lost?!
He still had another Heavenly Flame, the Nether Poison Flame! If he had used it, Nalan Yanran would have lost for sure!
Seeing the disdain, disgust, and contempt in the eyes of everyone around him, Xiao Yan suddenly wished he could crawl into a hole and disappear.
He had lost!
No matter how much he tried to argue, the fact remained unchanged he had lost!
After three years of humiliation from being rejected, after training through life and death situations, in the end… he still got dumped!
"Brat, your relationship with Yanran is over! You must remember you were the one who got rejected! This humiliation is something you'll have to carry for the rest of your life!"
Xiao Yan's expression twisted into an arrogant smirk as he pointed a finger at Gu He and sneered,
"I lost? Ha!"
"I, Xiao Yan, have not lost! My engagement with her is void, and from now on, I have nothing to do with this woman!"
Everyone: This guy really has no shame!
"Gu He, you call me disgusting? Then what about you? You forced your woman into this marriage by relying on external help! Aren't you the one controlling her?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan's gaze shifted downward to the red clad figure, a playful smirk appearing on his lips.
Gu He's face darkened. Xiao Yan's words were undeniably true he had relied on Yun Shan's pressure to ensure Yun Yun's compliance.
Otherwise, she would have never agreed to this marriage.
But how could Gu He ever admit it? With a look of utter disdain, he said coldly,
"Ha! Do you think you can compare yourself to me?"
"I am not only a Dou Huang, but also a Tier Six Alchemist. While I may not be famous across the entire continent, my reputation in the Jia Ma Empire is unquestionable. But you? You're nothing but a pathetic trash!"
Xiao Yan's face twitched…
Gu He, pretending not to notice, continued,
"Yun Yun and I are a perfect match, a pair destined by fate!"
"But you and Yanran? You were just a toad dreaming of eating swan meat!"
"You used someone else's power in your duel, and everyone here saw it. You should have some self awareness!"
Xiao Yan's expression grew sinister, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Gu He, let me ask you if I was fighting my fiancée, why would it matter if I used an external force?"
"If I can wield this power freely, then it is my power!"
Gu He stared at him with an indifferent gaze and responded,
"Yes, the fact that you can use that power means it is yours. In other battles, you can use it freely."
"But this was a duel based on a three year promise. No one was supposed to interfere. If we allowed outside interference, then wouldn't we in Yun Lan Sect be allowed to interfere too?"
"Besides…"
Gu He's eyes narrowed sharply as he continued,
"That senior are you really going to admit that you're not human?"
"IMPUDENT! A mere Tier Six Alchemist dares to insult this lord?!"
A deep, ancient, and authoritative voice rang out from Xiao Yan's mouth, causing a shockwave to ripple through the crowd.
"'This lord'?"
Gu He's pupils shrank his words had successfully drawn out the hidden force behind Xiao Yan.
A Dou Zun…?!
Gu He's expression instantly shifted to one of fear and shock.
No wonder Xiao Yan had so many trump cards he had a legendary expert backing him!
At this moment, everyone who hadn't already been amazed by Xiao Yan's power was completely dumbfounded.
It all made sense now…
Yao Chen, however, was unfazed.
In truth, the only reason he had intervened was not just to protect Xiao Yan
But also…
Because he wanted a good look at Nalan Yanran's body!
After all, even though he was a spirit, he was still a man.
His soul's eyes had been dry for years…
They needed moisturizing.
Especially when the woman in question was an absolute beauty.
It was just a glance a quick moment to refresh his weary soul, that's all!
Gu He gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly as he felt a powerful soul pressure bearing down on him.
Even after death, this person's soul was still so overwhelmingly strong?!
Forcing himself to remain composed, Gu He clenched his fists, bowed respectfully, and said,
"Senior, today is my wedding day. For you to bring Xiao Yan here to cause trouble isn't that looking down on Yun Lan Sect a little too much?"
His face was dark Gu He had never felt so miserable in his life.
He had prepared for disruptions to his wedding…
But this?!
The first interruption was from Nalan Yanran, which at least could be seen as good fortune a "double celebration."
But the second interruption? That damn brat Xiao Yan?!
If it weren't for the sacred nature of this event, which prevented him from spilling blood, he would have smashed Xiao Yan into a pulp right then and there!
If Wu Tian had come to stop him, Gu He might have at least felt some level of respect.
But this brat?!
Who the hell did he think he was?!
If Gu He didn't tear him apart one day, he'd never let go of this grudge!
And now, after finally resolving the duel, Xiao Yan's damn teacher had appeared
And he was a Dou Zun!
At this point, Gu He had seen enough Xiao Yan had come here purely to ruin his wedding!
The onlookers exchanged sympathetic glances, all thinking the same thing
This poor man… even a Tier Six Alchemist's wedding couldn't escape Xiao Yan's pettiness!
Even so, Gu He remained composed
Despite the rage boiling inside him, he managed to suppress it and respectfully bowed to Xiao Yan's master.
His ability to control his emotions, to act with diplomacy, was truly extraordinary.
But Yao Chen merely smirked, an air of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Gu He, do you think you are someone important?"
"You are nothing more than a mere Tier Six Alchemist. You dare question me?"
"Even Yun Shan is unworthy of speaking to me!"
The entire Yun Lan Sect went silent.
The air became so heavy it felt as if time itself had frozen.
The elders turned toward Yun Shan, waiting for his response.
But Yun Shan simply smiled, stroking his beard, his calm demeanor unwavering.
Though he remained silent, his dominant presence made one thing abundantly clear
"If I am not worthy of speaking to you… then you are even less worthy of speaking to me."
Yao Chen's face darkened.
Did this brat Yun Shan actually dare to look down on him?!
If he didn't turn this entire Yun Lan Sect upside down, he wouldn't be worthy of the name Yao Chen!
Meanwhile, his gaze subconsciously drifted back to Yun Yun…
And his heart… stirred.
Such a graceful woman…
What would it be like to spend a wedding night with her?
"YOU DARE?!"
A furious Gu He roared as his blue flames exploded toward Xiao Yan!
