By Edit Team NO 1 "Ahem." The old man in white robe coughed lightly, stood up and bowed to Xiao Zhan, smiling and said: "Chief Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly to ask for something!"
"Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have something to ask for. If it is within our ability, the Xiao family should not refuse." Xiao Zhan did not dare to neglect this old man, and hurriedly stood up and said politely, but because he did not know what the other party was asking for, he did not dare to say too much.
"Haha, Chief Xiao, do you know her?" Ge Ye smiled slightly, pointing at the girl beside him and asked with a smile.
"Uh... Please forgive Xiao Zhan for his poor eyesight, this lady..." Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was stunned, looked up and down at the girl, and shook his head slightly embarrassedly.
When Nalan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun, she was only ten years old and had practiced in Yunlan Sect for five years. As the saying goes, a girl changes a lot when she grows up. After not seeing her for many years, Xiao Zhan naturally did not know that the girl in front of him was his nominal daughter-in-law.
"Ahem... her name is Nalan Yanran."
"Nalan Yanran? Grandpa Nalan's granddaughter Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Zhan was startled at first, then his face was filled with joy, presumably because he remembered what happened that year. At that moment, he hurriedly showed a gentle smile to the girl: "It turns out to be niece Nalan. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame uncle for being short-sighted."
The sudden scene made everyone slightly stunned. The three elders looked at each other and frowned...
"Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to pay a visit. I should apologize, but how dare I blame Uncle Xiao." Nalan Yanran smiled sweetly. "
Haha, niece Nalan, I heard that you were accepted as a disciple by Master Yun Yun before. At that time, I thought it was a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true. My niece is really talented..." Xiao Zhan smiled and praised.
"Yanran is just lucky..." Nalan Yanran smiled faintly, a little overwhelmed by Xiao Zhan's enthusiasm, and gently pulled Ge Ye beside her with her palm under the table.
"Haha, Xiao clan leader, what I requested today is related to Yanran, and it was the clan leader who personally asked for this matter..." Ge Ye chuckled, and when he mentioned the word clan leader, the expression on his face became slightly serious.
Xiao Zhan's face changed slightly, and he also restrained his smile. Yun Yun, the clan leader of Yunlan Clan, is a big shot in the Jiama Empire. He, the head of a small clan, can't afford to be offended at all. But with her strength and power, what does she need the Xiao family's help for? Ge Ye said it was related to Nalan's niece, could it be?
Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Zhan's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and his huge palm trembled slightly, but fortunately it was covered by the sleeves, so it was not discovered. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Ge Ye, please speak!"
"Ahem..." Ge Ye's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, but thinking of the love the sect master had for Nalan Yanran, he had to grit his teeth and smiled: "Patriarch Xiao, you also know that the Yunlan Sect has a strict style, and the sect master has very high expectations for Yanran. Now she is basically being trained as the next sect master of the Yunlan Sect... and because of some special rules, the sect master's heir cannot have any entanglement with men before becoming the official sect master..." "
After asking Yanran, the sect master knew that she had an engagement with the Xiao family, so... so the sect master would like to ask Patriarch Xiao to... cancel the engagement."
"Click!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand suddenly turned into a puff of powder.
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat silent. The three elders above were also shocked by Ge Ye's words. However, after a moment, they looked at Xiao Zhan with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.
"Hehe, someone came to your house and forcibly cancelled the engagement. I wonder how you, the clan leader, will have the prestige to manage the family in the future!"
Some young boys and girls did not know about Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's engagement, but after asking their parents, their faces suddenly became interesting. They cast their sneerful and mocking eyes at Xiao Yan in the corner...
Looking at Xiao Zhan's extremely gloomy face, Nalan Yanran did not dare to look up. She lowered her head and twisted her fingers nervously.
"Clan leader Xiao, I know this request is a bit difficult, but please cancel the engagement for the sake of the Lord Sect Master..." Ge Ye said lightly with a helpless sigh.
Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, and a faint green fighting spirit gradually covered his body, and finally gathered on his face to form an illusory lion head.
Xiao family's top skills: Crazy Lion's Rage! Level: Intermediate Xuan level!
Looking at Xiao Zhan's reaction, Ge Ye's face suddenly became solemn. His body blocked in front of Nalan Yanran, and his eagle-claw-like hands suddenly curved. The green fighting spirit gathered in the eagle claws, emitting a small and sharp sword energy.
Yunlan Sect's profound skills, Qingmu Sword Art! Level: Low Xuan level!
As the two people's breath erupted, the faces of the weaker teenagers in the hall suddenly turned pale, and then their chests felt a little stuffy.
Just as Xiao Zhan's breathing became more and more rapid, the three elders' sharp shouts rang out in the hall like thunder: "Xiao Zhan, don't stop! Don't forget that you are the patriarch of the Xiao family!"
His body stiffened suddenly, and the fighting spirit on Xiao Zhan's body slowly converged and finally disappeared completely.
Sitting back in the chair, Xiao Zhan looked indifferently at Nalan Yanran who lowered her head and said nothing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Niece Nalan, you are so courageous. Nalan Su is really envious of having a daughter like you!"
Her delicate body trembled slightly, and Nalan Yanran hesitantly said: "Uncle Xiao..."
"Hehe, just call me Patriarch Xiao. I can't bear the title of uncle. You are the future leader of the Yunlan Sect, and you will also be a prominent figure in the Douqi Continent in the future. My Yan'er is just a mediocre person, and he is indeed not worthy of you..." Xiao Zhan waved his hand lightly and said in a cold tone.
"Thank you for your understanding, Chief Xiao." Hearing this, Ge Ye on the side was overjoyed and smiled at Xiao Zhan: "Chief Xiao, the master knows that today's request is a bit impolite, so he specially asked me to bring something as an apology!"
As he said that, Ge Ye stretched out his hand and wiped a ring on his finger, and an ancient jade box with a green body appeared out of thin air in his hand...
He opened the box carefully, and a strange fragrance immediately filled the hall, and everyone who smelled it was refreshed.
The three elders curiously stretched their heads and looked into the jade box. Their bodies shook violently, and they exclaimed: "Gathering Qi Powder?"
