In the hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were talking eagerly to the strange old man. However, the old man seemed to have something unspeakable. Every time he spoke, he would swallow it back helplessly. At this time, the delicate girl on the side couldn't help but glance at the old man...
After listening for a while, Xiao Yan shook his head in boredom...
"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know their identities?" Just when Xiao Yan was so bored that he wanted to doze off, Xun'er beside him opened the pages of the ancient book again with his slender fingers and said with a steady smile.
"Do you know?" Xiao Yan turned his head curiously and asked in surprise.
"Did you see the cloud-colored silver swords on the cuffs of their robes?" Xun'er said with a slight smile.
"Oh?" With a thought in his heart, Xiao Yan turned his eyes to the sleeves of the three people, and sure enough he found a silver sword in the shape of a cloud.
"Are they from the Yunlan Sect?" Xiao Yan whispered in surprise.
Although Xiao Yan has not gone out to practice, he has read information about this sword sect in some books. The city where the Xiao family is located is called Wutan City. Wutan City belongs to the Jiama Empire. Although this city ranks among the big cities that entered the Empire because of its strategic location with the Warcraft Mountains, it is only at the bottom.
Xiao Yan's family has considerable influence in Wutan City, but it is not the only one. There are two other major families in the city that are almost as powerful as the Xiao family. The three parties have been fighting openly and secretly with each other for decades, and there has never been a winner...
If the Xiao family is the overlord of Wutan City, then the Yunlan Sect that Xiao Yan mentioned should probably be said to be the overlord of the entire Jiama Empire!The gap between them was like a chasm. It was no wonder that even the usually serious father was in awe of his words.
"What are they doing in our family?" Xiao Yan asked in a low voice with some confusion.
The moving slender fingertips paused slightly, Xun'er was silent for a while, and then said: "Maybe it has something to do with brother Xiao Yan..."
"Me? I have never had any interaction with them?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled and shook his head in denial.
"Do you know that girl's name?" Xun'er glanced at the delicate girl opposite.
"What?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked.
"Nalan Yanran!" A little weirdness appeared on Xun'er's face, and she glanced sideways at Xiao Yan, who was a little stiff.
"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Nalan Jie, the Lion-Hearted Marshal of the Gama Empire? That...the fiancée who is married to my fingertips?" Xiao Yan said with a stiff face.
"Hehe, grandpa and Nalan Jie were life-and-death friends back then. It happened that you and Nalan Yanran were born at the same time, so the two old men decided to get married. However, unfortunately, in the third year after you were born, grandpa died of serious injuries from fighting with his enemies. As time went by, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Nalan family gradually became shallow.Come down..." Xun'er paused slightly, looked at Xiao Yan's wide eyes, couldn't help but chuckle, and continued: "Nalan Jie, an old man, is not only unruly, but also very caring about Cheng'e. He personally agreed to the marriage that year, so even though brother Xiao Yan's reputation has been extremely bad in recent years, he has never sent anyone to regret the marriage..."
"This old man is indeed cute..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"Nalan Jie has the absolute right to speak in the family. Generally, no one dares to object to what he says. Although he also loves his granddaughter Nalan Yanran, it is a bit difficult for him to break the engagement..." Xun'er's beautiful eyes slightly curved as she joked: "But five years ago, Nalan Yanran was taken over by Yun Yun, the leader of the Yun Lan Sword Sect.Disciple, in the past five years, Nalan Yanran has shown excellent cultivation talent, which made De Yunyun extremely fond of her... When a person has the power to change her own destiny, she will try her best to solve the things she doesn't like... Unfortunately, the marriage between brother Xiao Yan and her is what makes her most dissatisfied!"
"You mean, she's here to break off the engagement this time?"
His face changed, and a burst of anger surged in Xiao Yan's heart. This anger was not because of Nalan Yanran's discrimination against him. To be honest, although the girl opposite was beautiful, Xiao Yan was not a pervert whose mind was dominated by his lower body. Even if he was with Nalan Yanran,If she couldn't marry Qin and Jin, then Xiao Yan would only feel regretful as some men would. But if she really made a request to her father to terminate the engagement in public, then the face of her father, the leader of the clan, would be completely humiliated!
Nalan Yanran is not only beautiful and delicate, but also has a prominent position, and is also extremely talented. When anyone talks about this, they will think that Xiao Yan is a toad who wanted to eat the flesh of a swan, but was stepped on by the swan...
If this is the case, not only Xiao Yan, but also his father will become the laughing stock of others and lose his majesty.
After taking a gentle breath of cold air, Xiao Yan tightly grasped the palms hidden in his sleeves: "If I were a fighting master now, who would dare to trample on me like this?"
Indeed, if Xiao Yan had the strength of a fighting master at this time, then even if Nalan Yanran had the support of the Yunlan Sect, it would be impossible for him to do such an act. A fighting master who is only fifteen years old, hey, in the history of the Fighting Qi Continent for so many years, there are only those few people, and these few people have already become the Taishan Beidou in the Fighting Qi cultivation world!
A delicate little hand quietly passed through the sleeve, and gently pressed Xiao Yan's clenched palm.
"Regret?" Xiao Yan sneered, his face full of self-mockery: "What qualifications do I have now?"
"Xun'er, you seem to know them very well? Maybe even my father doesn't know about some of the things you said before? How did you know about it?" Xiao Yan waved his hand, and his voice suddenly changed and he asked.
Looking at Xun'er's avoidance, Xiao Yan had no choice but to curl his lips. Although Xun'er's surname was Xiao, he had no blood relationship with him, and Xiao Yan had never met Xun'er's parents. Whenever he asked about his father, the smiling father would immediately shut up. It was obvious that he was very taboo about Xun'er's parents, and was even... afraid!
In Xiao Yan's heart, Xun'er's identity is extremely mysterious, but no matter how he inquires sideways, this little girl will respond tactfully with silence, leaving Xiao Yan with nothing to do even if he has a plan.
"Oh, forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, just don't tell me if you don't want to say it..." Shaking his head, Xiao Yan's face suddenly darkened, because the old man opposite him finally stood up...
"Haha, are you using the Yunlan Sect to exert power over your father? This Nalan Yanran is really a good trick..." An angry sneer sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
