In the living room of the Xiao family's old house, the most powerful family in the imperial capital, the youngest and most promising head of the family was tied up in his living room.
The housekeeper and the servants stood in a row at the entrance, secretly glancing at the scene inside, then shook their heads with a look of regret.
miserable.
It's really miserable.
Ye Lan searched Xiao Yunting's soul.
The war seven years ago that nearly destroyed the Earth is still vivid in people's minds. As a member of the battle, Qin Han witnessed Ye Lan's extraordinary abilities and his boss's sacrifice for Ye Lan.
So when Boss returned a year ago and fell for another woman, he felt something was wrong.
Although Qu Yueqing is known as the most famous lady in the imperial capital and a talented woman who is the most beautiful in Beijing, she is still far behind Ye Lan, who saved the world.
What's more, he knew Xiao Yunting.
The boss is definitely not someone who changes his mind easily, otherwise he would not hand over all his property. It is said that the rules for husbands in Xuanzong's clan are very strict. Not only must they be chaste and loyal, but they are also not allowed to sit at the table for meals. Even so, the boss was willing to exchange all his fortune for this. This is definitely true love without a doubt.
Of course, the latter part was revealed to him by the Xuanzong Elders Group.
In short, he supported Ye Lan and trusted all her actions.
Ye Lan used the simplest and most brutal soul-searching technique, using his own soul as a medium to forcibly intervene in the consciousness of others. This would not only cause intense pain, but also easily stimulate the brain nerves, causing irreparable damage.
She only used three golden needles to insert into the major acupoints in advance to protect Xiao Yunting's nervous system before taking action.
“Hmm!”
The soul-calming handprint was slapped directly on his forehead, forcing his brain to shut down.
Since no explanation was given in advance and Xiao Yunting's resistance was very strong, he frowned throughout the entire soul-searching process, groaning from time to time, appearing to be in extreme pain.
By the time the soul search was over, the tall, thin and strong man had collapsed on the sofa, sweating profusely as if he had been pulled out of the water, and he couldn't even move a finger.
Ye Lan put away the cold technique and sat back on the sofa opposite in silence.
Qin Han stepped forward to help his boss adjust his posture and covered him with a thin blanket. Then he turned around and asked, "Miss Ye, what's wrong?"
"..." After a long while, Ye Lan shook his head and said in a clear voice, "There is no problem."
His memory was not forcibly tampered with, nor was his body occupied by other souls.
The Xiao Yunting in front of him is the original him.
Qin Han was stunned. He had not expected this result. He looked at his boss and then at Ye Lan. He stood up tactfully and said, "Then I'll go take care of the concert first."
After saying that, he strode out of the living room and left the old house, giving the two of them space to talk.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the others also retreated.
Xiao Yunting had amazing willpower. After a short rest, he sat up straight again and met Ye Lan's gaze again.
Being tied up and brought back like a clown in front of all the celebrities in the city and subjected to such torture, he thought he would be very angry and want to kill the woman opposite him immediately.
But the moment he looked up at her, he saw a trace of confusion in her cold eyes, and Xiao Yunting's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a trace of pain.
The pain was more unbearable than a soul search, causing him to frown again.
"Why do you have that expression?"
Weren't you so strong and powerful just now?
Ye Lan didn't answer him, but stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the sky.
Xiao Yunting was not a patient person. Even if he was pursuing Qu Yueqing, he would not allow the other party to remain silent on his questions.
But his gaze seemed to be out of his control and fell on the figure by the window.
The woman had a graceful and slender figure, but she was also very thin and lonely.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yunting finally walked over to her side. His deep voice carried no trace of anger. "Are you sad because I no longer have feelings for you? But you should understand that human emotions are the most fragile and insecure things in the world. I won't take back your property. Aren't these more practical?"
He didn't know what was going on, but he easily gave up his wealth as compensation for breaking up.
Because he didn't like seeing the expression on her face.
He also felt that she should understand that love and not love are very empty things. Other women may indulge in them, but in Xiao Yunting's intuition, the person in front of him would not stick to these things.
Hearing that he had received a huge breakup fee out of the blue, Ye Lan remained indifferent.
"Xiao Yunting, I will return those things to you later." She suddenly spoke in a clear voice, her eyes fixed on the clear blue sky, as if she was recalling the scene of them chatting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on a night when they were separated by life and death many years ago.
After a while, she withdrew her thoughts, turned to look at Xiao Yunting, and gently covered his heart with her hand.
Xiao Yunting has severe mysophobia and doesn't like physical contact, but at this moment he has no urge to avoid it.
The slightly cool palm came over, no longer as cold as when the spell was cast just now, the soft little hand had a hint of tenderness.
"I just don't want to give up on our relationship without making any effort." Ye Lan felt the steady and calm heartbeat and finally felt relieved. "But maybe you're right. People's hearts are fickle. Since you no longer have any feelings for me, I respect your choice."
"goodbye."
The last two words fell softly, she slowly withdrew her hand, and walked towards the door.
Xiao Yunting suddenly felt a sharp palpitation, his fingertips curled up, and he felt an urge to reach out and grab Ye Lan.
But his strong self-control finally overcame the movement of his body. It was not until the slender figure disappeared at the door of the old house that he looked down at the fingerprints on his palm, and his brows frowned even tighter.
The next day, everyone in the imperial capital knew that the Xiao family's leader was kidnapped by a female bully at the proposal scene.
Although the media's cameras were shattered and the chips burned, leaving no photos, the story was so exciting that it became a new trend in the imperial capital after being spread by word of mouth among gossipy citizens.
When the story reached the ears of the Xuanzong elders in the ancient martial arts world, they learned the details of what happened at the concert that day.
"Alas, the clan leader didn't bring the person back, and he didn't say a word about it afterwards. It seems that our clan leader's plan for a wife is ruined." As the head of the elders, Nan Xu played both the role of a father and a mother. He finally found a candidate for a clan leader that he liked. Last time, he boasted about setting a bunch of rules with Qin Han, but he didn't expect that it would be ruined in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the people were also at a loss.
"If there is a way, we don't have to wait for the clan leader to wake up and do it ourselves. The old medical immortal has already diagnosed it. I think the clan leader has given up hope."
"Hey, hey, don't act like the clan leader is unwanted, okay? 'One Hundred Demon Strategies' is really popular right now, and who doesn't admire our clan leader? Holding a matchmaking convention will surely be just as grand as it was back then."
"Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this!" Nan Xu slapped his forehead, and suddenly saw the light. He stood up and walked through the courtyard corridor into the study. "Chief, let's hold another marriage proposal meeting?"
A marriage conference?
Ye Lan, who was painting on rice paper at the table, paused when she heard this. Nan Xu was afraid that she would disagree and wanted to continue speaking, so she heard her softly respond, "Okay, you go and prepare it."
