Chapter 904
Nalan Yanran
In the following six months, Nalan Yanran still did not come to annul the engagement, while Xiao Yan had fully recovered his talent and completed his coming-of-age ceremony.
Under these circumstances, Fang Yu had no choice but to go to the Yunlan Sect in person.
He needed to figure out the reason why Nalan Yanran hadn't come to annul the engagement. It was a very strange thing. Could it be that she had obtained the script, or was there something else? In short, Fang Yu couldn't feel at ease until he figured out the reason. After all, this matter was not trivial; it was something that had to be clarified. If he didn't find out, Fang Yu really couldn't relax. So he had to find out the reason, no matter what.
Therefore, Fang Yu set off directly for Yunlan Sect, a place known as a sacred cultivation ground throughout the empire. This place would soon be reduced to ruins, becoming the most undesirable place to visit. In any case, the situation here was not good, and no one wanted to come.
It's so incredibly unlucky; this place is so incredibly unlucky that nobody wants to come here again.
However, he was still in his prime, so when Fang Yu arrived, no one in the Yunlan Sect noticed.
At this time, the young sect leader of Yunlan Sect was still Nalan Yanran, which made Fang Yu breathe a sigh of relief. At least the plot hadn't changed, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome, really troublesome.
And so, Fang Yu found the place where Nalan Yanran practiced her martial arts.
Only the young sect leader is allowed to come to one of the best cultivation grounds in the entire sect.
Here, Fang Yu was spotted by Nalan Yanran as soon as he appeared, because Nalan Yanran's strength had increased so much that it surprised Fang Yu. She was no longer a small Dou Zhi, but a Grand Dou Shi!
Furthermore, Fang Yu sensed a familiar aura emanating from Nalan Yanran, an aura that belonged to a transmigrator.
"My goodness, I never imagined you were a time traveler too! That's quite a surprise!"
Nalan Yanran was somewhat surprised by Fang Yu's sudden appearance, because she did not expect that someone would recognize her identity and, like her, be a time traveler.
"You're right, I am indeed a time traveler, and you've probably come to ask me why I haven't called off the engagement, right?"
Nalan Yanran turned to look at Fang Yu, but she showed no surprise or unexpectedness, as if she had expected it, which greatly surprised Fang Yu.
"That's right, you guessed it. I came here to see why the exciting 'three-year agreement' in the plot didn't happen. Do you know how long I waited? I waited for a very, very long time in that small city, but it still didn't appear. This made me have to come and ask what happened. Now I finally understand. So you're also a time traveler. No wonder you didn't break off the engagement."
"Your actions were absolutely correct. I must say, you made the right choice. This truly surprised me, it was incredibly unexpected. I never imagined you had reached such a level, reached your current realm. It's utterly astonishing, so unexpected. I can't even fathom how powerful you could be; it's completely beyond my expectations. It seems you've gained quite a bit over this long period, at least your cultivation speed is astonishing. Without such a rapid cultivation speed, you'd only be a minor Dou Zhe now. Actually, I feel you're truly remarkable, incredibly remarkable, since you've managed to change your own destiny. However, destiny isn't so easily changed. You should know very well what your grandmaster's situation is. Under these circumstances, you'd better be prepared and avoid any mishaps. If any mishaps occur, you could easily lose your life. So, you'd better be fully prepared and avoid any problems, otherwise, no one can save you, no one can save you. You should understand this very well, I don't need to say more, right?"
Fang Yu's words greatly surprised Nalan Yanran.
"Yes, you're right. This matter concerning our master is indeed somewhat troublesome, but I believe I can resolve it. I have the ability to solve this problem, don't you agree?"
"That's right, there's absolutely no problem with that, and I believe you can handle it, and you'll handle it very quickly. I also believe you have the ability; if you didn't, you wouldn't be arguing with me here. However, I still advise you to be extra careful and not to be careless in any way. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died. That's a fact, the truth, really. The current situation has exceeded my expectations and imagination, completely beyond my expectations and imagination. Not only have you changed, but I estimate that others have also changed, and I've also driven that number one rich and beautiful woman out of the Xiao family. I've directly changed the relationship between the two of them. In that case, perhaps you still have a chance, but I think it seems difficult. After all, you should know very well what your grandmaster's situation is. It's the most troublesome place. If it weren't for this being the most troublesome place, you might have a chance. I'm not joking; I'm telling you a fact. You should understand this, and you should be able to understand that everything I've said is true, without any falsehood. I also hope you can understand all of this and stop thinking about those pointless things. Those pointless things won't do you any good."
“You’re right, so I’ve never thought about those things.”
"It's enough that you understand this. I'm not too worried about the rest. I had some concerns before, but now I have none at all. I never expected you to be a transmigrator as well. This makes a lot of things make sense. So, what are you going to do next? You should know very well that you only have two choices now. The first is to sever ties with the Yunlan Sect. That way, you might still have a chance to survive, but you should know the consequences. If you choose to stay with the Yunlan Sect, you also know the consequences. I don't know how to help you anymore. Really, I have absolutely no idea how to help you. You are completely different from what I knew before, and I hope you can understand that. Do you understand?"
“I know, and I’ve never expected anyone to help me, nor will I expect anyone to help me. There’s nothing I can do about it; I have no other choice right now. Here, my strength can still grow very strong. If I leave the Yunlan Sect, I’m not an alchemist, so relying on myself is really difficult. I’ll have to ask others for favors, which is really tough. Under these circumstances, I don’t know what to do.”
“It’s normal that you don’t know. Even I don’t know what to do, but there’s nothing I can do. No matter how much you say, it’s not as good as making the right choice. Don’t you think that’s how it should be? No matter what the future holds, I think that’s how it should be. No matter what the situation is, this has already happened completely, and I hope you can understand.” “Of course I understand. You don’t need to tell me more.”
"So what choice do you want to make? Do you want to reconcile with Xiao Yan and get married, or what?"
"If you want it, first you have to find a way to solve the problem of your grandmaster. This is a problem you must solve. If you can't solve it, things will get complicated. You should be aware of that."
"Of course I understand this issue. There's no need for you to keep repeating these things here; it's pointless. I know very well what's going on with my master. Sure, with my current strength, trying to fight him, or even try to scheme against him, would be suicide. If you were willing to help, there might be a chance, but judging from your expression, you're completely unwilling to help?"
"Why should I help? I never thought of helping you. How could I possibly want to help you? You've not given me anything in return, so why would I help you? You're right. So, you can only rely on yourself. Don't think about relying on others. If you have the ability, that's fine. If you don't, then don't even think about it."
"Alright, now it's up to you to choose. Don't think about anything else, it's not important to me anyway."
"I just wanted to see why the plot developed this way. Now that I know, there's no need to keep watching. There's really no need. I don't even know why it's like this. Anyway, that's how it is. Let them do what they want. What do I care about other people?"
"Don't you want to know what will happen if I really resolve this matter?"
Nalan Yanran's words made Fang Yu stop in his tracks and turn to look at her.
"Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die. Since I know so much, I certainly don't want to die so quickly. Don't you think that makes sense? I definitely don't want to die so quickly, and I hope you can understand that. I really don't want to die so quickly. If I wanted to die so quickly, I could just commit suicide. Why bother with all this trouble? So, this matter has no appeal to me. I was just worried that my plan had gone wrong, and now that the plan hasn't gone wrong, why should I worry? As for whether you can be with Xiao Yan in the future, it has nothing to do with me. You could say it has absolutely nothing to do with me, and I won't care about that. You should understand that too, so don't put this kind of thing on me. It's pointless and meaningless. You should focus on your cultivation and change your own destiny, instead of relying on others. Don't think you can rely on me to do what you want to do. That's impossible. Absolutely impossible. You should understand that. Don't waste your time on me, because it's useless."
"I'm not your father, I have no reason to care about you, and I can't possibly care about you. Don't you understand that? If I were your father, it would be easier to explain, but unfortunately, I'm not. Under these circumstances, how could I possibly care about you? So, you need to understand this, you need to know this. If you don't understand, it only means one thing: you're too stupid. I really don't know how you've managed to get to this point. I know you might also want to use me, but I can tell you, using me is completely worthless."
"Because I'm stronger than you, I can definitely kill you. In the face of absolute strength, no tricks will work, and you need to understand that."
"I just want to cooperate with you, why do you think that about me?"
"I've already said I have no interest in cooperating with you. Cooperating with you will only bring me danger, not any benefits. Under these circumstances, unless I'm stupid, I won't choose to cooperate with you. I've already said I'm not stupid, I will absolutely not cooperate with you. Unless I'm stupid, I won't fall into your trap."
"Therefore, save your sweet talk for deceiving others. It's useless against me, utterly useless. If it were even the slightest bit useful, things wouldn't be like this. I also hope you can be smarter and not think you can take advantage of me. You don't have the ability, the capacity, or the capacity. I hope you understand this and don't think I'm so easy to use. The fact that I can come here without being discovered by anyone proves that I'm not so easy to use. In my eyes, you're just an interesting guy, but whether you're interesting or not is no longer important. I don't care what you do."
"What happens next is your own business; just don't come looking for me."
"Then it's time for me to leave. Do whatever you want, don't come looking for me. I don't want to say anything more, because saying more won't do any good. Since it's useless, there's no need to continue. Don't you think that makes sense?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu made no further move and left, leaving Nalan Yanran in silence.
I initially thought it was a helpful ally, but now it seems that's not the case.
Fang Yu was completely out of her control. He originally thought he was the female lead, but now it seems he was just overthinking it. However, she still thought he was the female lead.
After all, she was a time traveler.
Naturally, it's the female lead. (End of Chapter)
