Fighting Breaks the Heaven

Qi-Gathering Pill

Here is the English translation of the given text segment:

The white-robed old man coughed lightly, stood up, and bowed to Xiao Zhan, smiling. "Mr. Xiao, the reason for my visit today is to ask for your help."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Ge Ye. If it's within our capabilities, the Xiao family won't refuse," Xiao Zhan replied politely, standing up as well. However, not knowing what the other party was asking for, he didn't dare to commit fully.

"Mr. Xiao, do you recognize her?" Ge Ye smiled and pointed to the young girl beside him.

"Er... excuse me, but I'm afraid I don't," Xiao Zhan said, taken aback. He scrutinized the girl up and down and shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"When Nalan Yanran was taken as a disciple by Yun Yun, she was only ten years old. She has been training in the Cloud Mist Sect for five years now. Girls change a lot as they grow up. It's been so many years, so Mr. Xiao doesn't know that this young lady is actually your nominal daughter-in-law."

"Cough... Her name is Nalan Yanran," Ge Ye said.

"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Laozi's granddaughter, Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Zhan was first taken aback and then overjoyed, presumably remembering the previous engagement. Immediately, he eagerly smiled warmly at the girl, "So it's Nalan niece. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame Uncle Xiao for not recognizing you."

The sudden scene surprised everyone, and the three elders exchanged glances, furrowing their brows.

"Uncle Xiao, I haven't come to visit for a long time. It's me who should apologize," Nalan Yanran smiled sweetly.

"Mr. Nalan niece, I've heard rumors that you were taken under the wing of Master Yun Yun. I thought it was just a rumor, but it's true. You have a great talent," Xiao Zhan praised with a smile.

"It's just good luck," Nalan Yanran replied with a shy smile, unable to handle Xiao Zhan's enthusiasm. She gently tugged on the sleeve of the man beside her, Ge Ye.

"Mr. Xiao, the matter I'm here to request is related to Yanran. Moreover, it was personally requested by our sect leader," Ge Ye chuckled, becoming slightly serious when mentioning the sect leader.

Xiao Zhan's face changed slightly. He stopped smiling and*****. Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, was a big shot in the Garma Empire. As the leader of a small family, he couldn't afford to offend her. Given her power and influence, what could she possibly need help with from the Xiao family? Since Ge Ye mentioned it was related to Nalan niece, could it be...

Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Zhan's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his large hand trembled slightly. Fortunately, it was covered by his sleeve, so it wasn't noticeable. He forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ge Ye, please go ahead."

"Cough," Ge Ye looked embarrassed but bit his lip and smiled, "Mr. Xiao, as you know, the Cloud Mist Sect has strict discipline, and the sect leader has high expectations for Yanran. She is basically being groomed as the next sect leader. Due to some special rules, the sect leader's disciple cannot have any entanglements with men before becoming the official sect leader."

"After inquiring with Yanran, the sect leader learned that she still has an engagement with the Xiao family. Therefore, the sect leader would like to request that Mr. Xiao dissolve the engagement."

"Crash!" Xiao Zhan's jade cup shattered into powder.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent. The three elders were also shocked by Ge Ye's words, but after a moment, they looked at Xiao Zhan with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.

"Hehe, being forced to dissolve an engagement in front of others, how can you have any prestige to manage the family afterward?"

Some of the younger generation didn't know about the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. After inquiring from their parents, their faces became expressive, and they cast sneering glances at Xiao Yan in the corner.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's dark expression, Nalan Yanran dared not look up and buried her head, nervously twisting her fingers together.

"Mr. Xiao, I know this request is somewhat difficult, but please consider it for the sake of our sect leader and dissolve the engagement," Ge Ye sighed helplessly.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fist, and his aura gradually covered his body, eventually forming a faint lion's head on his face.

Xiao family's top-tier martial art: Furious Lion Rage, Grade: Intermediate**.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's reaction, Ge Ye's face became serious. He stood in front of Nalan Yanran and curved his eagle-like hands, gathering aura into them, emitting small and sharp sword qi.

Cloud Mist Sect's advanced martial art: Green Wood Sword Technique, Grade: Low**.

As their auras clashed, the weaker young people in the hall paled and felt a tightness in their chests.

Just as Xiao Zhan's breathing became more ragged, the severe shouts of the three elders rang out like thunder in the hall: "Xiao Zhan, stop! Don't forget, you are the leader of the Xiao family!"

His body stiffened suddenly, and Xiao Zhan's aura gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

He slumped back into his chair, and his face looked indifferent as he looked at the silent Nalan Yanran. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Nalan niece, what courage you have! Nalan Su has a very enviable daughter in you."

Her body trembled slightly, and Nalan Yanran stammered, "Uncle Xiao..."

"Please call me Mr. Xiao. I can't afford that title. You are the future leader of the Cloud Mist Sect and will be a prominent figure on the Douqi continent. My son Xiao Yan is just an ordinary person and is indeed not worthy of you," Xiao Zhan replied coldly, waving his hand dismissively.

"Thank you for understanding, Mr. Xiao," Ge Ye said with delight. "The sect leader knows that today's request is somewhat impolite, so she asked me to bring something as an apology."

Saying that, Ge Ye wiped his finger on a ring, and a jade-colored box appeared in his hand out of thin air.

He carefully opened the box, and a pleasant aroma immediately filled the hall, making everyone feel refreshed.

The three elders curiously leaned forward and were shocked to see inside the jade box.

"Qi-gathering Pill," (In English, it could be translated as "Energy-Gathering Pill" or "Qi Condensation Pill," depending on the context and preference for terminology.)
