"Cough." The old man in white robe coughed lightly, stood up and bowed his hand to Xiao Zhan. He smiled and said, "Patriarch Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly because I have something to ask for!"
"Ha ha, Mr. Ge Ye, if you have anything, please say it. If you can, the Xiao family should not refuse." For this old man, Xiao Zhan did not dare to neglect. He quickly stood up and said politely, but because he didn't know what the other party was asking for, he didn't dare to say too much.
"Ha ha, Chief Xiao, do you know her?" Ge Ye smiled slightly, pointed to the girl beside him and asked with a smile.
"Uh... Sorry for Xiao Zhan's poor eyesight, this lady..." Hearing the words, Xiao Zhan was stunned, looked at the girl up and down, and shook his head slightly awkwardly.
When Nalan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by Yunyun, she was only ten years old and practiced in the Yunlan Sect for five years. The so-called female 18th change had not been seen for many years. Xiao Zhan naturally did not know that the girl in front of him was his nominal daughter-in-law.
"Well... Her name is Nalan Yanran."
"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Mr. Nalan?" Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, and then his face was full of joy. He must have remembered what happened that year. At that moment, he hurriedly smiled gently at the girl: "It turns out that she is Nalan's niece. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame uncle for his poor eyesight."
The sudden scene made everyone slightly stunned. The three elders looked at each other and couldn't help frowning...
"Uncle Xiao, my niece hasn't come to see you for a long time. I should make amends, but I don't dare to blame Uncle Xiao." Nalan Yanran smiled sweetly.
"Ha ha, niece Nalan, I heard that you were taken under by Lord Yunyun before. At that time, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. My niece is really talented..." Xiao Zhan praised with a smile.
"Yanran is just good luck..." With a slight smile, Nalan Yanran couldn't stand Xiao Zhan's enthusiasm. Her palm under the table gently pulled Ge Ye next to her.
"Ha ha, Patriarch Xiao, what I asked for today is related to Yanran, and it is the patriarch himself..." Ge Ye smiled softly. When mentioning the word patriarch, the expression on his face was slightly solemn.
His face changed slightly, and Xiao Zhan also restrained his smile. Yun Yun, the patriarch of the Yunlan Sect, is a big man in the Gama Empire. He is the head of a small clan, but he can't afford to be provoked at all. But her strength and power, what else do you need the help of the Xiao family? Ge Ye said it was related to Nalan's niece. Could it be?
Thinking of some possibility, the corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and his huge palm trembled slightly. Fortunately, he was covered by sleeves, so he was not found. He forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ge Ye, please speak!"
"Cough..." Ge Ye's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, but thinking of the patriarch's love for Nalan Yanran, he had to grit his teeth and said with a smile, "Atriarch Xiao, as you know, the style of the Yunlan Sect is strict, and the patriarch's expectations for Yanran are also very high. Now he basically regards her as the next patriarch of the Yunlan Sect. In cultivation... And because of some special rules, the patriarchal heir must not be entangled with men until he becomes the official patriarch..."
"After asking Yanran, the patriarch knew that she still had a marriage with the Xiao family, so... so the patriarch wanted to ask patriarch Xiao to... cancel the engagement."
"Click!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand suddenly turned into a puff of powder.
In the hall, the atmosphere was a little quiet, and the three elders above were also shocked by Ge Ye's words, but a moment later, they looked at Xiao Zhan's eyes, and there was already a touch of sarcasm and ridicule.
"Hey hey, I was forced to cancel the engagement by someone. Look at your patriarch, what prestige do you have to manage the family in the future!"
Some younger boys and girls did not know about the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, but after inquiring about their parents, their faces suddenly became wonderful, and their mocking eyes turned to Xiao Yan in the corner...
Looking at Xiao Zhan's extremely gloomy face, Nalan Yanran did not dare to look up. She buried her head and twisted her fingers together nervously.
"Patriarch Xiao, I know that this request is a little difficult for strong people, but please look at the face of the patriarch and cancel the engagement..." He sighed helplessly and said lightly.
Xiao Zhan's fists clenched, and the faint blue fighting spirit gradually covered his body, and finally vaguely gathered into an illusory lion's head on his face.
The top skill of the Xiao family: Crazy Lion Fury! Level: Xuanjie Intermediate!
Looking at Xiao Zhan's reflection, Ge Ye's face suddenly became solemn. His body stood in front of Nalan Yanran. His eagle claw-like hands suddenly bent together, and the blue fighting spirit gathered in the eagle's claws, exuding a small and sharp sword spirit.
Yunlanzong's profound skills, Aoki's sword secret! Level: Xuan-level low-level!
With the eruption of the two people's breath, the weak teenagers in the hall suddenly turned pale, and their chests were a little stuffy.
Just as Xiao Zhan's breathing became more and more rapid, the fierce shouts of the three elders sounded in the hall like thunder: "Xiao Zhan, you still can't help it! Don't forget that you are the patriarch of the Xiao family!"
His body suddenly stiffened, and the fighting spirit on Xiao Zhan's body slowly converged, and finally disappeared completely.
Sitting back on the chair, Xiao Zhan looked at Nalan Yanran, who bowed her head indifferently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Nalan's niece, so brave. It's really enviable that Nalan Su has your daughter!"
The delicate body trembled slightly, and Nalan Yanran said, "Uncle Xiao..."
"Ha ha, just call me Chief Xiao. I can't afford the title of uncle. You are the suzerain of the future Yunlan Sect, and you will also be a popular figure in the Douqi mainland in the future. My Yan'er is just a mediocre person, and I really don't deserve you..." Xiao Zhan waved his hand faintly indifferently.
"Thank you, Chief Xiao, for your understanding." Hearing this, Ge Ye, who was beside him, was overjoyed and smiled at Xiao Zhan and said, "Master Xiao, the patriarch knows that today's requirement is very rude, so he specially asked me to bring something as a compensation!"
With that, Ge Ye reached out and wiped a ring on his finger, and a green ancient jade box appeared in his hand out of thin air...
Opening the box carefully, a strange fragrance suddenly permeated the hall, and everyone who smelled it was in good spirits.
The three elders stretched out their heads curiously and looked at the jade box. Their bodies suddenly shook and said in a panic, "Gather?"
