On the second day, Nalan Yanran brought Elder Ge Ye and his disciple Yun He to the Xiao clan according to the time stated in the book. When she saw the Misty Cloud Sect's people, Xiao Zhan immediately greeted them with a great bow and gathered the clan members to the hall.
After Nalan Yanran arrived at the hall, she saw Xiao Mei's incarnation. Although she was used to this incarnation, it could even be said that because she had to maintain her original appearance, Nalan Yanran's main consciousness was placed on Xiao Mei.
After all, no one was perfect. There would always be times when things didn't go well. If the main consciousness was placed with the main body, how could it maintain that perfect image? On the other hand, Xiao Mei was like an online game. She could play it wantonly, and her figure could also develop in some evil direction, such as breasts, and so on!
However, it was still a little unaccustomed for a person to look at each other from two different perspectives. As for the others in the hall, especially the young ones, most of their gazes were focused on Nalan Yanran. However, when Nalan Yanran turned her gaze over, she saw that goddess-like face looking at her. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they could not help but look elsewhere. They did not dare to look at her in the eye. Even Xiao Xun Er could not help but curl her lips!
After waiting for a while, two knocks came from outside the door. A kind-looking old man in green walked in with a young boy.
"Father, three elders!" After Xiao Yan entered, he sized up the guests who had arrived. When his gaze landed on Nalan Yanran, he could not help but pause for a moment. After which, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Xiao Zhan and the other three.
"Ke ke, Yan Er, you're here. Quickly sit down.”Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Xiao Zhan stopped chatting with the guests and nodded at him, waving his hand.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He did not seem to notice the impatience and faint disdain that the three Elders shot over. He turned his head and swept his gaze around the hall, only to discover that there was actually no place for him.
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan, who was standing on the spot without moving. She heard the mocking laughter of the surrounding young people and wanted her incarnation, Xiao Mei, to help her out. However, Xiao Mei was currently sitting behind her father and the surroundings were also filled with people.
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 Third 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.
Eyeing Xiao Xun Er's smiling face, Nalan Yanran could not help but sigh at Xiao Yan's luck with women and the fate of being the main character. Although she had the Devouring Special Ability, it was not without limit that she would need to spend time to refine it after swallowing it. In the future, Xiao Yan would have the 'Heavenly Flame' and the speed at which he would continuously consume it would not be slower than her.
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment. He rubbed his nose and nodded. After which, he walked over and sat beside her in front of the envious gazes of the many young people.
"Ahem." Ge Yezhe coughed lightly, stood up and cupped his hands at Xiao Zhan. He smiled and said,"Patriarch Xiao, I came to your clan this time mainly because I have a request!”
"Ke ke, Mister Ge Ye, if you have something to say, just say it. If it's within our ability, the Xiao family should not decline.”Xiao Zhan didn't dare to neglect this old man, so he quickly stood up and spoke politely. However, since he didn't know what the old man wanted, he didn't dare to be too confident.
"Ke ke, clan leader Xiao, do you know her?”Ge Ye smiled and pointed at the young girl beside him.
"Uh, forgive Xiao Zhan's poor eyesight, but this miss?”Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was stunned. He sized up the girl and shook his head awkwardly.
When Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao clan three years ago, she was only twelve years old. She had trained in the Misty Cloud Sect for another three years. As the saying goes, a woman changes eighteen times when she grows up. Xiao Zhan naturally did not know that the young lady in front of him was his daughter-in-law in name after not seeing her for more than three years.
"Cough, her name is Nalan Yanran.”
"Nalan Yanran? Master Nalan's granddaughter, Nalan Yanran?”Xiao Zhan was startled at first, but then his face was filled with joy. He must have remembered what had happened back then. He hurriedly showed a gentle smile to the girl and said,"So it's niece Nalan. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years, don't blame uncle for being blind.”
The scene that had suddenly appeared caused everyone to be slightly stunned. The three elders exchanged glances with each other and involuntarily frowned.
"Uncle Xiao, Yanran hasn't come to visit for three years. The one who should apologize is me.”Nalan Yanran sweetly smiled and said.
"Ke ke, niece Nalan, since you were able to catch the eye of Lord Yun Yun and be taken in as a disciple, you naturally have to train well. Why would I blame my niece?" Xiao Zhan praised with a smile.
"Yanran was just lucky." Nalan Yanran looked at the enthusiastic Xiao Zhan and smiled lightly. Her palm under the table gently pulled Ge Ye beside her.
"Ke ke, tribe leader Xiao, the matter that I request today is related to Yanran. Moreover, this matter was personally requested by the sect leader." Ge Ye laughed softly. The expression on his face became a little solemn when he mentioned the words 'sectmaster'.
Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly. He also withdrew his smile. The Misty Cloud Sect's leader, Yun Yun, was an important person within the Jia Ma Empire. He, a small clan leader, could not afford to offend her at all. However, with her strength and influence, why would she need the Xiao clan's help? Ge Ye said that it was related to niece Nalan. Could it be?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Xiao Zhan's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. His large hands trembled slightly, but fortunately, he was covered by his sleeves, so he wasn't discovered. Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, he said with a trembling voice,"Mister Ge Ye, please speak!"
"Cough…" Ge Ye's face suddenly revealed an embarrassment. However, when he recalled the love the sect leader had for Nalan Yanran, he could only clench his teeth and smile,"Clan leader Xiao, you should also know that the Misty Cloud Sect is strict. Moreover, the sect leader has very high expectations of Yanran. Currently, he is basically grooming her as the next sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. Due to some special rules, the sect leader's successor is not allowed to have any entanglements with men before he becomes the official sect leader.”
"After the sect master asked Yanran, he knew that she had a marriage with the Xiao family. Therefore, he specially ordered me to come and discuss this matter.”
"Crack!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand turned into powder.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little quiet. The three elders above were also shocked by Ge Ye's words. However, a moment later, they looked at Xiao Zhan with a hint of ridicule and ridicule.
"Hehe, someone came to your door and forcefully canceled the engagement. Let's see if you, the clan leader, still have the prestige to manage the clan in the future!”
Some of the young people of the younger generation were unaware of the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. However, after asking their parents beside them, their expressions immediately became interesting. Their mocking gazes were thrown toward Xiao Yan at the corner.
Looking at Xiao Zhan's extremely gloomy face, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but reveal a faint smile when she thought of her own plan.
"Patriarch Xiao, I know that this is a little difficult for you, but please give face to the sect master.”Ge Ye helplessly sighed and said.
Xiao Zhan clenched his fist tightly. A faint green Dou Qi gradually covered his body. Finally, it vaguely gathered on his face to form an illusory lion head.
