Looking at the scene before him, Baylor felt a deep sense of fear and took several steps back.
Then, he suddenly realized something and revealed a sly smile.
"You have publicly attacked the clan leader! I sentence you to death! Prepare to die!"
After saying that, Baylor breathed heavily with excitement, but his figure looked disheveled.
No matter who this person is, he will do everything in his power to torture her to death!
But what made him tremble again was that Xu Nian didn't listen to him at all.
“I’m not a member of your clan, so those rules and regulations are useless to me.”
Xu Nian flung aside the people who were howling in pain, her eyes filled with icy coldness as she looked at Baylor.
"Don't point fingers at me, or you'll die a horrible death."
Beller was clearly startled and roared at Nel, "You idiot, why did you bring outsiders into our clan!"
This unexpected woman might ruin his ongoing plans!
"You just wait and see!"
Baylor felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He hurriedly called to those who had fallen to the ground, uttered some harsh words, and then left in a hurry.
Seeing that Beller had been driven away, Nilu hurriedly walked up to Xu Nian, her face full of worry, "Are you alright?"
Barlow followed closely behind, bowing his head in apology, "I'm sorry, but I had to stop Her Highness."
Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Nian waved her hand and said, "It's alright, I understand."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Nian took out the food she had prepared in advance from her storage space and explained, "Please distribute these to them first, as a way of repaying you for providing us with shelter."
Although Nel wanted to refuse, as a clan princess, she could only respond with gratitude, "I will never forget this kindness."
Next, Nilu quickly distributed the food she had to everyone and explained that it was given to them by Xu Nian.
Those who had been staring blankly ahead of time suddenly became much more alert, and each of them cast grateful glances at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian responded to each question, but seemed to be deep in thought.
With Baylor in such a high position and suddenly receiving such tremendous support, there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes.
But he withdrew voluntarily, and I didn't get any information. I can only wait for him to come to me again.
Xu Nian didn't expect that Baylor would come knocking on her door so quickly.
As evening approached, Nilu was preparing dinner when her door was kicked open.
The visitor was none other than Prince Beile.
Everyone in the room became alert, staring at Baylor with resentment in their eyes.
But Beller acted as if he hadn't seen her and walked straight up to Nel. "I've come here mainly to tell you something."
"I am about to marry your mother, and I hope you are prepared."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room froze in shock, especially Nil.
She shoved Baylor away in disbelief, screaming and roaring, "What nonsense are you spouting? I will never allow scum like you to come near my mother!"
"This matter has been discussed by all the elders, and you have no right to refuse."
Beller looked down at Nel, then produced a document bearing the names of four people in a jumbled mess.
After carefully reading it, Nilu's hand holding the paper trembled slightly as she looked up in disbelief.
"Impossible! They would never do that!"
Seeing Xu Nian's confused expression, Balo leaned closer and explained in a low voice, "The clan leader and the seven elders decide matters of the clan together. As long as more than half of the people agree on a resolution, it will be enforced."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian looked over and saw that the signatures were from four people.
Including Baylor, that makes exactly five people.
"Impossible. It's written here in black and white. Would I deny it?"
Baylor, however, smiled broadly and said arrogantly, "Our wedding will be held in a week, so please remember to come and attend!"
After saying that, he turned and left gracefully, not forgetting to leave a few words behind.
"Nilu, should I call you daughter from now on? Hahahaha!"
"Bang!"
Nilu slammed the thing in her hand against the door, making a loud noise.
Her face showed unprecedented fear and anger.
"They actually agreed to that scumbag's proposal!"
Seeing that Nilu was emotionally agitated, Xu Nianwei sighed involuntarily, made a talisman with her hand, and used a calming spell to slap on Nilu's body.
Suddenly, Nilu's body trembled for a moment, then returned to normal.
She looked ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"It's okay, this is a normal reaction," Xu Nian said, seemingly unconcerned.
After all, if I were in that situation, I would probably be even more devastated than Nil.
"Your Highness, the matter is settled, and now we can only make further plans."
Barlow knelt down and made the proposal loudly.
Although Baloo's words are harsh, he always has the clan and the princess's best interests at heart.
He probably cherishes the princess too much, which is why he clashed with the streamer before.
The most urgent task is to stop this engagement.
Xu Nian was also pondering this matter.
Although the matter is already settled, they still have about a week to devise a strategy.
Suddenly, Xu Nian had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly asked Nilu, "What are the stances of those seven elders?"
Upon hearing this, Nilu explained in turn, "The Second Elder and the Third Elder are people close to Prince, so I'm not surprised they agreed to his plan. But the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder, who have always maintained a neutral stance, also agreed, this..."
There's a problem.
Xu Nian picked up the conversation, her face serious, "He's so eager to marry your mother, could it be that he'll get something in return?"
Upon hearing this, Nilu lowered her eyes again, gritting her teeth as she said, "Mother has Father's heirloom, which is said to be a treasure that can make people powerful. I guess Baylor has his eye on it."
Nilu was also somewhat confused when this was mentioned.
Her father often mentioned this treasure when he was alive, but she had never seen it, nor had she ever heard her mother mention it.
Every time, my mother would laugh and joke that my father was joking, but the news that my father possessed a supreme treasure still spread.
After hearing this, Xu Nian understood the current situation.
After a moment's thought, she offered, "Could I meet the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder?"
Nilu was immediately puzzled. "It's possible, but what are you going to do?"
Xu Nian's eyes darkened, but her smile remained.
"Naturally, we need to find out why they, who are usually neutral, suddenly pledged allegiance to Baylor."
