Xiao Yu arrived!
The surrounding young people from the clan involuntarily emitted mocking laughter as they eyed Xiao Yan, who was standing on the spot without moving. Clearly, they liked to see Xiao Yan make a fool of himself.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan, who was on top, had also discovered Xiao Yan's awkwardness. Anger flashed across his face as he frowned at the old man beside him and said,"Second Elder, you…"
"Cough, I'm really sorry. I actually forgot about the fourth young master. Hehe, I'll get someone to prepare it immediately!”The yellow-robed old man, who was stared at by Xiao Zhan, smiled faintly and slapped his forehead in self-reproach. However, the ridicule in his eyes was not hidden much.
"Xiao Yan ge-ge, sit here!" The young lady's faint laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.
The three Elders were slightly startled. Their gazes shifted to the quiet Xiao Xun Er in the corner. Their mouths moved, but they did not dare to speak again.
At the corner of the hall, Xiao Xun Er smiled as she closed the thick book in her hand. Her temperament was elegant and calm as she cutely blinked at Xiao Yan.
Looking at Xiao Xun Er's smiling face, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment. He rubbed his nose and nodded. Under the envious gazes of many youths, he walked over and sat down beside her.
"You helped me out again." Smelling the faint body fragrance of the young lady beside him, Xiao Yan laughed softly.
Xiao Xun 'er gave a faint smile as a cute dimple appeared on her small face. Her slender fingers once again flipped open the ancient book in her hand. Despite her young age, she had an intellectual beauty. She blinked her long eyelashes and wandered in the book for a moment. Suddenly, she said faintly,"Xiao Yan ge-ge hasn't sat alone with Xun Er for three years, right?”
"Uh…now that Xun Er is a genius of the clan, wouldn't it be easy for her to have friends?”Xiao Yan laughed dryly when he saw the young lady's somewhat resentful and bright side profile.
"When Xun Er was four to six years old, someone would sneak into my room every night and use a very clumsy method and a weak Dou Qi to nourish my bones and Qi Paths. Every time, he would make me sweat profusely before leaving exhausted. Xiao Yan ge-ge, who do you think he is?”Xun Er was silent for a moment before she suddenly turned her head and smiled sweetly at Xiao Yan. The unique charm of a young lady caused the eyes of the surrounding young men to light up.
"Cough…I, how would I know? We're still crawling on the ground. How would I know?”Xiao Yan's heart suddenly jumped. He laughed awkwardly and immediately turned his gaze to the interior of the hall with some guilt.
"Hee hee…" Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, a gentle smile appeared on Xiao Xun Er's small mouth. Her gaze shifted to the book and her mouth seemed to mutter to herself,"Although I know that he has good intentions, Xun Er is still a girl, right? How can you secretly touch a girl's body? If Xun Er finds that person, hmph…"
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth cracked open. His heart felt a little guilty. He looked down and did not say a word…
In the hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were talking to the unfamiliar old man. However, the old man seemed to have something difficult to say. Every time he said something, he would reluctantly swallow it back. Every time this happened, the delicate girl beside him could not help but glare at the old man...
Xiao Yan tilted his ears and listened for a while before shaking his head in boredom…
"Xiao Yan ge-ge, do you know their identities?”Just as Xiao Yan was so bored that he wanted to doze off, Xun Er, who was beside him, once again flipped open the ancient book page with her delicate fingers and smiled without looking sideways.
"You know about it?" Xiao Yan curiously turned his head and asked in surprise.
"Do you see the silver swords in the clouds on the sleeves of their robes?”Xun Er smiled and said.
"Oh?" A thought passed through Xiao Yan's heart. His gaze turned to the sleeves of the three people and he indeed discovered a cloud shaped silver sword.
"They are from the Misty Cloud Sect?" Xiao Yan whispered in surprise.
Although Xiao Yan had not gone out to train, he had read some information regarding this Sword Sect in some books. The city where the Xiao clan was located was called Wu Tan City. Wu Tan City belonged to the Jia Ma Empire. Although this city was ranked among the large cities in the empire due to its geographical advantage of being backed by the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it was only at the bottom.
Xiao Yan's clan was quite influential in Wu Tan City. However, it was not the only one. There were two other large clans in the city whose strength was not much different from the Xiao clan. The three parties had been fighting openly and secretly for decades, but no victor had been determined…
If the Xiao clan was said to be the overlord of Wu Tan City, then the Misty Cloud Sect that Xiao Yan spoke of should perhaps be said to be the overlord of the entire Jia Ma Empire! The gap between them was like a chasm. It was no wonder that even his father, who was usually serious, was so respectful.
"What are they doing here?”Xiao Yan softly inquired with some doubt.
Xun Er's moving slender finger paused. She was silent for a moment before saying,"Perhaps it is related to Xiao Yan ge-ge…"
"Me? I've never interacted with them before.”Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. He shook his head and denied it.
"Do you know the name of that girl?”Xun Er indifferently glanced at the delicate young lady opposite her.
"What?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked.
"Nalan Yanran!" A strange expression surfaced on Xun Er's small face as she glanced at Xiao Yan, whose body was a little stiff.
"Nalan Yanran? The granddaughter of the Jia Ma Empire's Lionheart Marshal Nalan Jie, Nalan Yanran? That…that fiancée I was betrothed to before I was born?”Xiao Yan's expression was stiff as he replied.
"Hee hee, grandfather and Nalan Jie were good friends for life and death back then. At that time, it just so happened that you and Nalan Yanran were born at the same time. Therefore, the two old men decided on this marriage. Unfortunately, three years after you were born, grandfather died from serious injuries from fighting with an enemy. As time passed, the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Nalan clan gradually became shallow…" Xun Er paused slightly. She looked at Xiao Yan's widened eyes and involuntarily laughed softly."Nalan Jie, this old man, not only has a wild and unruly character, but he is also extremely particular about promises. The marriage back then was personally agreed by him. Therefore, even though Xiao Yan ge-ge's reputation has been extremely bad during these few years, he has not sent anyone over to break off the marriage…"
" This old man is indeed cruel and cute…" Xiao Yan could not resist smiling and shaking his head when he heard this.
"Nalan Jie possesses absolute authority in the clan. No one would dare to object to his words. Although he dotes on his granddaughter, Nalan Yanran, it is a little difficult for him to call off the engagement…"
Xun Er's beautiful eyes curved as she teased,""However, five years ago, Nalan Yanran was personally accepted by the Misty Cloud Sect's leader, Yun Yun, as a disciple. During these five years, Nalan Yanran displayed an excellent training talent, causing Yun Yun to dote on her endlessly…
When a person possessed the power to change their own fate, then she would think of all ways to resolve the things that she did not like……. Unfortunately, the marriage between Xiao Yan ge-ge and her was the thing that she was most dissatisfied with!”
"Are you saying that she's here to cancel the engagement?”Xiao Yan's expression changed. A wave of anger suddenly surged out of his heart. This anger was not because Nalan Yanran had discriminated against him. Honestly speaking, although the young lady opposite him was beautiful, he, Xiao Yan, was not a pervert whose mind was dominated by the lower half of his body. Even if he could not get along with her, Xiao Yan would at most have some regrets from a man's habit. However, if she really requested for the annulment of the engagement to his father in public, then his father's face as the clan leader would be…But even if they were all lost!
Nalan Yanran was not only beautiful and lovable, but she also had an illustrious status. Moreover, her talent was also excellent. Anyone who mentioned this matter would think that he, Xiao Yan, was a toad that wanted to eat swan meat, but was instead trampled under the feet of a swan…
If this was the case, not only Xiao Yan, but even his father would end up becoming the laughing stock of others in the future. His prestige would be greatly lost.
Xiao Yan gently inhaled a mouthful of ice-cold air. The hand that was hidden in his sleeve had already been tightly clenched."If you were a Dou Shi now, who would dare to trample on me like this?”
Indeed, if Xiao Yan possessed the strength of a Dou Shi at this moment, even if Nalan Yanran had the Misty Cloud Sect's support, it would be impossible for her to do such a thing. A Dou Shi who was only fifteen years old, hei, there were only a few people in the many years of history of the Dou Qi continent. Moreover, these few people had long become the big shots in the Dou Qi training world!
A delicate little hand quietly passed through Xiao Yan's sleeve and gently pressed on Xiao Yan's tightly clenched hand. Xun Er softly said,"Xiao Yan ge-ge, if she really does this, it will only be her loss. Xun Er believes that in the future, she will regret her short-sightedness today!”
"Regret?" Xiao Yan sneered. His face was filled with self-mockery,"Do I have the right now?”
"Xun Er, you seem to know them very well? Perhaps even my father doesn't know about the things you mentioned earlier? How did you know?" Xiao Yan gently waved his hand and suddenly changed his tone as he asked.
Seeing Xun Er's dodging posture, Xiao Yan could only helplessly curl his lips. Although Xun Er's surname was Xiao, she did not have any blood relations with him. Moreover, Xiao Yan had never seen Xun Er's parents before. Every time he asked his father, his father would immediately shut his mouth with a smile on his face. Clearly, he was very afraid of Xun Er's parents, and even…afraid!
Xun Er's identity was extremely mysterious in Xiao Yan's heart. However, no matter how he asked her indirectly, this little girl would cleverly respond with silence. This caused Xiao Yan to be unable to do anything even if he had a plan.
"Ah, forget it. I can't be bothered to care about you. If you don't want to say it, then so be it…" Xiao Yan shook his head. His expression suddenly became gloomy. This was because the old man on the opposite side had finally stood up under Nalan Yanran's repeatedly signaling eyes.
"Ke ke, are you borrowing the Misty Cloud Sect to exert your might on father? "This Nalan Yanran really has good methods…" A furious cold smile sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
At this moment, a delicate voice sounded," Hey…Old man, my master is here.”His tone was filled with mischief.
