(Seeking monthly votes, recommendation votes, and followers) After disbanding the crowd, Nolan Qiushui explained the full situation to you and brought that child to see you, hoping she would recognize her ancestors and return to her roots.

“Brother!” guided by Nolan Qiushui, Xiao Yanran bowed firmly to you, as an elder brother is like a father!

Her temperament was very similar to that of Nolan Qiushui, her gaze resolute and her talents exceptional; at just 11 years old, she was already a Two-star Swordman, a level of talent not even inferior to your strongest sister, Xiao Xuan’er.

This matter was significant, and you expressed a need to think it over carefully.

Your thirteen sisters expressed that they would listen to your arrangements, but you could tell they were reluctant to have a younger sister even younger than you.

“Sister, all of us are your sisters.

Why do you need another younger sister now?

If Brother dislikes his older sisters, then it’s no big deal for us to leave.

If we keep arguing, it’ll seem like we as sisters don’t understand propriety,” the leader among them said to you.

Your sisters had always protected and tolerated you from childhood, with a profound love akin to rebirth and, naturally, you had to consider their feelings.

However, Xiao Yanran’s talents were no small matter either; given ten days, she could even become a great help to you, which made you hesitate.

That night, Xiao Yu’er secretly brought Xiao Mei’er and Xiao Yun’er to see you, and like in your childhood, they slept hugging you.

Originally, it was Xiao Xuan’er’s turn to accompany you, yet she had a strange idiosyncrasy of wanting to sleep only with you, without anyone else.

With someone else present today, she quietly walked away without any complaint.

You had a long, heartfelt chat with your three elder sisters; each of them had their own style—one pure and lovely, another enchanting and tempting, and another calm and elegant.

Under their strong persuasion, you realized each sister was a valuable treasure and a source of strength for you, and you decided it was important not to sacrifice the greater good for something minor.

You cannot have everything; it looked like you had to make some choices in this life!

After the Saint Child flow and Superman flow, you once again realized a new legendary path—the “Mature Lady” flow.

The next day, you told Nolan Qiushui,

“Yanran is only eleven this year, born alone and helpless; having grown up in the Nolan family, she should rightfully take the Nolan surname.

She has my father’s bloodline, so her name should be listed in our family records.

I support the annulment, so don’t worry anymore.”

You spoke smoothly, leaving Nolan Qiushui with no choice but to agree.

Meanwhile, you played a little trick.

You said we were betrothed in childhood, but since we are not yet married, and you are a month older than I, how about I call you ‘sister’ in the future?

“You are to be my husband in the future; it’s up to you,” Nolan Qiushui really didn’t mind these details.

Your sisters +1.

Together with a great crowd, you headed to the Naxi family to annul the marriage.

On the way, you learned about the current plight of the Naxi family’s son, Naxi Tianyuan.

This youth, once hailed as one of Wutan City’s Twin Prides, had exceptional talents before the age of ten, but his cultivation not only did not increase but fell.

Now, at sixteen, he only possessed the Third Rank of Sword Qi!

Swipe!

The scene froze for an instant, featuring a character drawing of a good-looking person with blonde hair and blue eyes.

In terms of appearance, he was a worthy match for the dark-haired, dark-eyed Xiao Han.

It’s worth mentioning that this blonde-haired young man wore a black gemstone ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Ah?

Is there a close-up of this too?

Wait, Naxi Tianyuan…

“Oh, it’s him!”

Xu Shu suddenly remembered something—the name “Naxi Tianyuan” was one he had seen when choosing identities for this legend.

At that time, there were four identities to choose from: Wu Chonglou, Naxi Tianyuan, Xiao Han, and Xuanshuang.

“So that’s it.

I understand now!

It turns out it’s this unknown document that mixed up the roles of two characters!

“I wondered why something felt off!

Turns out the data got mixed up when the Tai Chu Scroll was forming the script.

“I wonder who Wu Chonglou and Xuanshuang are?

Never heard of them in Wutan City; maybe they are geniuses from other parts of the continent?”

Xu Shu suddenly realized this and could not help but chuckle, continuing the legend:

Hearing that the Saintess of Chaotian Sect was visiting, the Naxi family’s hall was filled with onlookers, all there to revel in Naxi Tianyuan’s misfortune.

The scene moved you deeply, reminding you of the time they had visited the Xiao Family under similar circumstances.

In the hall, the blonde, blue-eyed young man remained silent, while the dark-haired, classic beauty stood with an air of superiority.

Now renamed Nolan Yanran, Xiao Yanran held a jade box that contained a “Sword Heart Condensing Pill” and said to Naxi Tianyuan, “Naxi Tianyuan, give up.

The difference between us is too vast; we’re destined to be strangers.

We could never be…

consider this Sword Heart Condensing Pill as a form of compensation from us.”

Naxi Tianyuan looked at Nolan Yanran, but his face showed neither joy nor sorrow, only a faint sneer, “Alright, I’ll accept your apology.

Our engagement is now dissolved.

When I return to my peak in the future, I’ll make sure to visit the Chaotian Sect!”

Naxi Tianyuan, accompanied by a young maid dressed in black and white, left with a sweep of his sleeves.

Just before leaving, you noticed she seemed to glance at you covertly, followed by a girl’s voice whispering secretly,—

“It’s all due to marriages with the Nolan family, but only Brother Tianyuan is getting his marriage annulled.

It’s actually you who really deserve it!

You must have been the one inciting Nolan Qiushui, Brother Tianyuan will come back to trample you underfoot once he regains his strength.”

It was the maid speaking, while Naxi Tianyuan clenched the box containing the Sword Heart Condensing Pill tightly, giving you a fierce glare.

“Wait, that pill…” you suddenly spoke.

Naxi Tianyuan: “It’s mine now that you’ve given it to me, afraid I’ll regain my strength now?

Just you wait!”

A silence fell upon the hall; the Family Head of the Naxi family signaled it was time to see the guests out, without any further conflict.

Ah, today’s annulment went quite smoothly indeed.

Eh?

Xu Shu’s expression froze.

The plot was not unfolding as he had hoped, missing the highlight he most looked forward to.

That didn’t really matter.

But in fact, the Jade Casket in Xiao Yanran’s hands no longer contained the Sword Heart Condensing Pill, it was fake.

The real Condensing Pill was swapped and consumed by Xu Shu last night.

One couldn’t blame him for being greedy; it was because Nolan Qiushui insisted on saying that an older brother should act as a father and that the responsibility for the broken engagement should be managed by him.

With Xiao Yanran posing too perfectly, if Xu Shu hadn’t taken it, would he even be human?

Besides, Xu Shu originally thought that Naxi Tianyuan would firmly refuse.

Blame this boy for having no spirit!

Of course, for Xu Shu, having eaten the pill was the same as not having eaten it.

Apart from breaking out in a sweat and having robust energy at night, it did nothing to increase his strength.

Xiao Han’s body still contained zero Segment of Sword Qi.

“Hopefully the fake pill tainted with Golden Juice won’t give anything away.”

The story continued, and the bizarre style took another dramatic turn:

[In the following days, nothing happened; you had people alternately monitor Naxi Tianyuan with no useful information obtained.]

[Soon after, Nolan Qiushui said she would leave and took Xiao Yanran with her, agreeing to meet you in three years when she would become the Chaotian Sect Leader and you were to marry her according to the arranged marriage.]

[After seeing off Nolan Qiushui, that very night, you were attacked at home.]

[The other two major families of Wutan City joined forces, sent out their best fighters to kill you.]

[With no resistance from the Xiao Family, it turned out that the Second Elder had long been colluding with them, with over thirty percent of the Xiao Family betraying, and only a minority killed, the remaining members, after compromises from the Third and Fourth Elders, all chose to surrender.]

[You and your sisters were trapped in your own estate, with you having three Great Sword Masters and ten Sword Masters, but the enemy had nearly ten Great Sword Masters and countless Sword Masters and Swordmen; the difference in power was too great.]

[Facing the combined attack of the three families, your defeat was certain, surrounded on all sides, with no escape possible.]

[“Xiao Han, you have committed countless evils, disrupted societal norms, no different from a demon, your crimes are unforgivable!

You’ve also offended a real person of high status, almost causing a disaster that would annihilate our clan, tonight is the time for you, demon, to die!” When the Second Elder saw you protected by your sisters from atop the roof, his eyes couldn’t hide his jealousy and desire.]

[“So it turns out that the one who wanted to kill me years ago was the Great Elder and you.” In such a precarious situation, you remained incredibly calm, looking at him lightly, “The person of high status you mentioned, could it be the maid by Naxi Tianyuan’s side?”]

[As soon as these words were said, the whole place went silent.

Shortly after, that petite maid stepped from the background to the forefront, smiling without a word.]

[Naxi Tianyuan also appeared, staring at you with a cold laugh, “You are very clever, keeping you alive is nothing but trouble, you should just die.”]

[“Brother Tianyuan, there’s no need to waste words on someone like him.” The little maid was actually the most mysterious and highest-ranking person here.]

[At her command, the swords of the three families were drawn, when suddenly a furious shout rang out from the sky: “Who dares to harm my husband?!”]

[A figure in white rushed down under the moonlight.

It was Nolan Qiushui returning unexpectedly; with three swift strokes, she instantly killed one and injured two of the Great Sword Masters from another family, slaughtering her equals as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs.]

[Good, good, worthy of you!

So you had a contingency plan all along; was this also in your plans, my great master?]

[“Hehehe, I never thought I’d have to be the one to make a mass killing.” Yuan Zhou emerged from the ground.]

[Holding the reins of a horse made from condensed Sword Qi, he charged into the formation of the Naxi family, the ground shook and mountains trembled, with Sword Qi rampant; those who were hit died, those merely touched also perished, Sword Masters and Swordmen were slain like leeks.]

[“Sword Qi Taking Form!

Are you a Sword King?

We’ve been deceived, everyone run!” The Naxi Family Master was terrified, everyone started to flee in fear.]

[Just like they had surrounded you before, having a Sword King level powerhouse appear in Wutan City, a remote town where a Great Sword Master was the peak of combat prowess was a truly overwhelming attack, this was no longer a battle, but a slaughter.]

[It was a completely one-sided situation, people from the three families were slaughtered disarrayedly, leaving corpses strewn everywhere.]

[“To think you had a backup plan, if that’s the case, then I can only reveal…

” There was a flicker of golden fire in the eyes of the little maid, who also felt the situation was tricky.]

[“Naxida, step back, things have come to this, it’s time for me to make a move.” Facing the unstoppable Chaotian Sect steward Yuan Zhou, Naxi Tianyuan who had been watching coldly suddenly spoke.]

[“Brother Tianyuan?”]

[Naxi Tianyuan stretched lazily towards the sky, his eyes shooting pitch-black flames that covered his entire body: “Master, over to you.”]

[His momentum began to climb rapidly, transitioning instantly from the Third Rank of Sword Qi to Swordman, then Sword Master, Great Sword Master, Sword Spirit Peak, and directly breaking through to the Sword King Realm!]

[A shadowy ghost took over Naxi Tianyuan’s body, rose into the air, and looked down at the enemies below with a smile that split his face: “The kid’s useless, still had to let me out, watch carefully, this is my power, hehehe!”]

[Yuan Zhou also looked back and sneered, “Hehehe, another expert!”]

[In a nearly identical chilling laughter, they looked at each other and suddenly stopped in unison.]

[“You are…

the Cultivation Immortal Sect?” Yuan Zhou suddenly ventured.]

[The possessed Naxi Tianyuan immediately replied, “Undying Mountain Venerable!”]

[Hehehe!]

[The two recognized each other’s code and let out a roar of laughter simultaneously, “Turns out we are from the same sect!

Who would have thought that in this desolate place on the western frontier, we would meet one of our own!”]

[“Now that our identities are revealed, what to do about these youngsters…”]

[“Just kill them all, lest they interfere with the Sect Leader’s plans.”]

[The battlefield changed in an instant, and you, horrified, discovered that whether it was the strong Residual Soul possessing Naxi Tianyuan or the Chaotian Sect’s Steward Yuan Zhou, both were impostors; they were actually both members of an ultra-terrifying organization that could frighten children at night —

[Soul Hall Elders.]

“Hehehe!”
