The Cosmic Age: Subverting the Universe

Xiao Yan looked at the extremely angry Su Che and asked with concern: "Brother Su, you seem to have encountered some difficulties, why don't you just tell me?"

Su Che sighed and spoke slowly: "Well, to be honest with you, I am actually Yanran's master's grandfather."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't believe it and stared at Su Che with wide eyes. Su Che continued to explain: "Yes, I am the same as you. I was a waste that was looked down upon by others in the early days, and my fiancée's family also tore up the engagement. Yun Yun and I were displaced and finally fled to the Yunlan Sect."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan felt as if he had met a kindred spirit, and a gleam of resonance flashed in his eyes. He said with emotion: "So Brother Su, you actually have the same tragic experience as me. Why don't you go to the restaurant with me and have a drink?"

Su Che nodded and smiled, "Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk today."

The restaurant was bustling with people. The waiter enthusiastically served the food and wine to the table, which was full of delicious food and wine. Su Che and Xiao Yan sat at the table, raised the wine jar, gulped it down, and then grabbed a large piece of meat on the table and ate it without any manners.

Su Che began to tell his story. He made up a story about his childhood with Yun Yun, describing how he was originally a genius, but suddenly lost his fighting spirit and could not practice, and became a waste. The elders in Yun Yun's family were dissatisfied with his change and forced him in various ways, making him suffer. When it came to the exciting part, Su Che even pretended to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking very emotional.

Xiao Yan listened to Su Che's story, as if he was listening to his own story, and he felt the same way. He had also experienced similar things, being looked down upon and abandoned by his fiancée's family. Now, after hearing about Su Che's experience, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and his liking for Su Che continued to soar.

Late at night, the hotel had closed, and the only thing left on the quiet street was the dim street lights casting mottled light and shadows. Xiao Yan and Su Che each held a can of wine and staggered out of the hotel, burping continuously.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and with a bit of intoxication and emotion, he began to recount his past: "Yanran, she used to be so beautiful, lovely and moving. For her, I practiced madly, but unfortunately, my fighting spirit could never improve." A trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, as if he had returned to that difficult time.

"I envy you, at least you have such a beautiful relationship. But I was ruthlessly abandoned by her, without even a good memory left." He burped and looked up at the starry sky, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, he looked up at the starry sky and shouted with great passion: "I, Xiao Yan, will never be inferior to others in my life! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the poor young man!"

After hearing this, Su Che also stood up, waving the wine can in his hand, and responded loudly: "I, Su Che, will never lose in ambition! Ten years of sharpening the sword, ten years of sharpening the mind, don't laugh at the hero's lateness!"

Their shouts echoed in the empty streets, as if they were about to break through the sky. They smiled at each other, and their laughter echoed in the night sky for a long time.

Su Che originally had an idea in his mind, which was to persuade Xiao Yan to reconcile with Nalan Yanran in order to enhance the reputation of Yunlan Sect. In his opinion, the grudges between the two could be put aside for a greater goal. However, after listening to Xiao Yan's confession, this idea in his mind gradually faded.

Su Che was deeply shocked by the determination and persistence revealed in Xiao Yan's words. He understood that no matter how he persuaded, the scar in Xiao Yan's heart would never be overcome. Nalan Yanran abandoned Xiao Yan first, which was an unchangeable fact and the eternal pain in Xiao Yan's heart.

Su Che sighed and gave up in his heart. He understood that everyone has their own bottom line and persistence, Xiao Yan is like this, and he is no exception. He respects Xiao Yan's choice and understands his feelings.

However, what Su Che didn't know was that the stories he made up had made Xiao Yan treat him as a confidant. In Xiao Yan's opinion, Su Che's experience was so similar to his own. They had both been betrayed and abandoned, and had both been looked down upon. Now, they were able to meet here and share each other's pain and sorrow. This was a rare fate.

Outside the bamboo house, the night was dim, and the moonlight sprinkled on the green bamboo leaves, casting a silvery white. Su Che staggered and supported the drunken Xiao Yan, step by step. Xiao Yan swayed his body and muttered, "I'm not drunk, I can still drink."

Qin Luoluo came over after hearing the noise, and frowned when she saw the two men like this, "Drank so much?" Su Che smiled bitterly, "Let Xiao Yan go to the house to rest first." After some busy work, they finally settled Xiao Yan down.

Afterwards, Qin Luoluo and Su Che stood outside the bamboo house and discussed quietly. Qin Luoluo asked worriedly, "What are you going to do now?" Su Che sighed, "There is no other way, otherwise we have to give up Nalan Yanran and appoint a new leader."

Qin Luoluo shook his head and said, “There is no disciple in Yunlan Sect who is better than Nalan Yanran.”

Su Che pondered for a moment and proposed another idea: "Otherwise, just give up Yunlan Heart and cultivate Yandi Heart."

Qin Luoluo was surprised when she heard this. "You got the qualification to compete for the Heart of the Flame Emperor?" Su Che nodded. "I got it by accident."

Qin Luoluo was silent for a moment, then said: "Yun Lan's heart is Yun Yun, do you want to give up Yun Yun? You used to be obsessed with changing Yun Yun's tragic fate."

Su Che was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Uh, I'm drunk, so I can't take my nonsense seriously. I'm going to sleep first, I'm sleepy from drinking too much."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the bamboo house.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking air in the night sky, and Yun Yun appeared, holding Nalan Yanran in her hands, and the two flew over the treetops from a distance. Nalan Yanran's face was red, tears in her eyes, and she struggled and said, "Master, please let me go, I am too ashamed to face anyone."

Yun Yun frowned, and said sternly, "Why are you so stubborn? Come back to the bamboo house with me. It's the father's fault if a girl is not well educated. Today, I will beat you up on behalf of your father!"

After hearing this, Nalan Yanran's heart trembled. She knew that her master was really angry. She lowered her head, stopped struggling, and let Yun Yun take her to the bamboo house.

Su Che and Qin Luoluo heard the noise and walked out of the bamboo house. Seeing Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, they were both stunned. Qin Luoluo hurried forward and wanted to help: "Yun Yun, what's wrong? If you have something to say, just talk it out, why do you have to fight?"

Yun Yun had a cold face and ignored Qin Luoluo, and walked straight into the bamboo house with Nalan Yanran. Su Che saw this and understood that Yun Yun was going to teach Nalan Yanran a lesson. He sighed and said to Qin Luoluo, "Let's just leave it alone and let the master and apprentice solve it themselves."

Qin Luoluo nodded, and the two stepped aside and waited quietly. In the bamboo house, there were the sounds of whipping, Nalan Yanran's crying, and Yun Yun's scolding.
