Chapter 389: Nangong Lingxuan’s Marriage Contract

Xiao Fan didn't recognize the person who suddenly spoke up from the opposite side, but he could tell from their expression that they were intentionally trying to disgust him.

The person might not even know what the eight gods spirit blood was.

Xiao Fan looked at the person, and the person was looking back at him; their eyes met…

In that person's gaze, there was mockery and provocation; after their eyes met, the latter even revealed a playful, cold smile…

The Elder beside the man saw him acting like this, and his expression turned somewhat ugly. He coughed lightly and sent a voice transmission to the man.

The man withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at Xiao Fan.

Then, the Elder beside the man looked at Xiao Fan, appearing very calm with no ripples on the surface.

Xiao Fan let out a breath; this person had caused him to waste hundreds of thousands more Spirit Stones…

Those were Spirit Stones he had fought tooth and nail for…

How could he be satisfied with losing hundreds of thousands for nothing?

At the same time, Xiao Fan noticed that after the man stopped looking at him, he turned his gaze toward Nangong Lingxuan beside him…

Xiao Fan was a bit puzzled and glanced sideways at Nangong Lingxuan.

He found that her expression was also very unnatural, slightly darkened, and her look was colder than usual.

"Nangong, do you know the person who just spoke up to raise the price?" Xiao Fan asked…

He could see at a glance that something was wrong; he didn't know the person, yet the person was clearly targeting him.

He was a Jixian Sect Disciple; why would someone from a major Family target him for no reason?

Under normal circumstances, unless the other party was a fool, how could that be possible?

Hearing this, Nangong Lingxuan's face darkened further. She glanced at Xiao Fan, her eyes containing a hint of apology along with anger.

"Yes, I know him…"

When Nangong Lingxuan spoke, her voice was colder than usual, revealing a chill.

"Who is he? What is your relationship with him?"

Xiao Fan pressed further, sensing that Nangong Lingxuan's state was very off.

Even Hu Rui on his other side looked over, curious about who had just competed with Xiao Fan for the eight gods spirit blood.

That person just now was clearly raising the price maliciously to disgust Xiao Fan.

Most people present knew that the young man was clearly targeting him maliciously; even Warrior Feng, Elder Shi Pin, and the others naturally understood.

However, they also couldn't figure out why the other party would target Xiao Fan.

Did he not respect the Jixian Sect?

That was obviously impossible.

At this moment, the three Elders in front remained calm, their ears perked up, wanting to hear what Nangong Lingxuan had to say…

"He… is called Diao Zhen… he's from the Nanling Diao Family. I had a marriage contract with him before…"

Nangong Lingxuan spoke, her face incredibly ugly, clearly very dissatisfied with this Diao Zhen.

"Marriage contract?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

He never dreamed that this person would have a marriage contract with Nangong Lingxuan.

At the same time, his heart felt an indescribable mix of realization, confusion, and an unexplainable sadness and regret.

This feeling was very strange, leaving him with a sense of lingering resentment…

"This person is actually Nangong Lingxuan's fiancé, oh my god…" Hu Rui's mind filled in many blanks, while her heart also felt indescribably complex.

The moods of Warrior Feng, Elder Shi Pin, and Elder Yin Su were the same…

Xiao Fan was bidding for the eight gods spirit blood, and Nangong Lingxuan's fiancé stood up to block him, maliciously raising the price.

This…

Everyone seemed to understand something and for a moment didn't know how to feel.

Xiao Fan's face also fell. He looked at Nangong Lingxuan, wanting to ask many things, but in the end, nothing came out, turning into a soft sigh…

Nangong Lingxuan glanced at him; seeing the disappointment and sadness on Xiao Fan's face, she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

"I have no feelings for him. That marriage was arranged by my grandfather. I have already told my Family that I want to cancel the marriage."

Nangong Lingxuan spoke, looking at Xiao Fan as if she were explaining something.

"Uh… cancel? Why…" Xiao Fan was stunned, but hearing this, the disappointment in his heart instantly vanished.

"I don't like him; I even loathe the man. It's as simple as that…"

Nangong Lingxuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "That's why I joined the Jixian Sect and have been working hard to Cultivate. I made an agreement with my Family: if my cultivation reaches the Xuandan Realm before I'm twenty-two, the marriage can be dissolved. Otherwise, I'll have to marry him."

"Before twenty-two? Xuandan Realm…"

Xiao Fan was startled…

Nangong Lingxuan was eighteen this year, and Xiao Fan was one year older than her.

But what did reaching the Xuandan Realm before twenty-two mean?

Their voices were very low, but Hu Rui and the other Jixian Sect Disciples nearby could hear them clearly.

This naturally included the three Elders sitting in front, who looked serious and solemn, pretending they hadn't heard a thing.

However, everyone was in a gossip-seeking mood, waiting for Nangong Lingxuan to continue.

"Family agreement… after all, that marriage contract was set by my grandfather with the Diao Family when I was young. If we want to break the contract, most people in the Family wouldn't agree, as it would affect the relationship between the two families…"

"But, in the end, with my father's effort, the Family discussed and agreed that if my cultivation reaches the Xuandan Realm before twenty-two, the marriage contract can be voided…"

"After all, if someone can reach the Xuandan Realm in their early twenties, they can find a better Dao Companion than Diao Zhen in the future…"

Nangong Lingxuan explained unhurriedly…
