Chapter 5 It’s broken, I’m a substitute
Seeing the shocked look in Nalan Yanran’s eyes, Xiao Yuan didn’t feel any fluctuation in his heart, although this proud daughter of the Yunlan Sect was indeed very beautiful. The talent is not bad, but now that he has the ability to practice, he has almost no advantage.
But after all, they are also guests. Now that the eldest and second brothers are not at home, I, the third young master, naturally know how to treat guests, so he showed a smile to Nalan Yanran, who finally came back to his senses. Smile.
Nalan Yanran wanted to keep a sullen face, but after seeing the charming smile on Xiao Yuan's handsome and handsome face, her heart beat faster for no reason. She was still a little cool at first. A blush appeared on her pretty face, which immediately attracted the eyes of the surrounding teenagers who were secretly observing.
“Father, three elders!”
Xiao Yuan stood still, and Xiao Yan behind him also stopped. Immediately, the two of them saluted the four people on the stage almost simultaneously, and said in unison.
"Haha, Yuan'er and Yan'er are here, sit down quickly."
Looking at his two tall sons, Xiao Zhan nodded with a smile and waved.
“Yes, father!”
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan still responded in unison, and immediately Xiao Yuan led Xiao Yan to the right.
But there was only one empty stool there, in front of Xiao Xun'er, and it was also the seat where only the elders with the right to speak in the first row of the clan could sit.
That is the seat reserved for Xiao Yuan.
Through the past three years of running the market, although Xiao Yuan was somewhat looked down upon by his peers in terms of cultivation, the elders in the clan did not dare to neglect him. After all, the intermediate workshop under Xiao Yuan’s jurisdiction now It is said that the city will soon be promoted to a high-level city in the city level evaluation every three years.
Moreover, a quarter of Xiaojiafang City's total revenue now comes from the intermediate-level city under Xiao Yuan's jurisdiction.
If it weren't for his lack of qualifications and his inability to practice, he might be a few places ahead.
But Xiao Yan is an old hapless man. The original genius has now become a waste, and he has been "shamelessly" receiving the family's training resources, but his strength cannot improve, and his reputation within the clan is extremely poor.
So right now, there is not even a seat for Xiao Yan in the hall.
"Brother Xiao Yan, come here and sit down!"
Seeing the reminder in Xiao Yuan's eyes when he came over, Xiao Xun'er immediately understood and said with a slight smile.
This kind of tacit understanding began three years ago after Xiao Yan's strength began to decline and he suffered a lot of criticism and exclusion.
In a sense, Xiao Yuan is Xiao Xun'er's wingman in attacking Xiao Yan.
After all, only in this way can he get a lot of start-up capital from Xun'er, a rich little woman, with peace of mind.
Xiao Yan naturally saw his situation at a glance. He was originally following the third brother, but he was still worried that the third brother would act like usual, leaving his seat to himself, and then he glanced at the conversation among the clan. The elders who were less powerful than him signaled the other party to get out and give up their seats.
But it’s better now. It’s quite nice to be able to sit next to Xun’er.
"Go and sit next to Xun'er. It's inconvenient for me to be too showy when there are guests."
Hearing Xiao Yuan's whispered instructions, Xiao Yan hummed softly. After Xiao Yuan sat down, he passed Xiao Yuan and came to Xiao Xun'er's side. He sat down and said with a low smile: "You helped me out again. . "
Hearing the whispers behind him, Xiao Yuan smiled. This silly boy didn't realize that he always had a reason not to help him out every time Xun'er was around?
As for the subsequent topic of warming and nourishing the meridians between the two, Xiao Yuan didn't care much. After all, Xiao Yuan was the first to experience this method, or he was Xiao Yan's test subject.
After all, being unable to practice Dou Qi is really rare in Dou Qi Continent, and because they are brothers, the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan have been close since childhood.
So after the cultivation talent emerged, Xiao Yan tried it once on Xiao Yuan, but the effect was not satisfactory. The second time, Xiao Yuan stopped Xiao Yan from doing useless work. behavior.
If you have that time, you might as well practice more Dou Qi and let Yao Lao suck it. If Yao Lao is extremely powerful from the beginning, then Yunlan Sect is nothing!
Unfortunately, a certain old man is actually awake now, but he has no intention of taking action. Later, Xiao Yuan realized that the strange old man always seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something unspeakable.
Honestly, if it was a pretty girl, it might look more pleasing to the eye.
But it’s really disgusting for an old man to be so coquettish.
Nalan Yanran on the side was not in a hurry. Instead, her eyes secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan from time to time, with a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Before coming, she heard that of the brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, one had no talent for cultivation and only had a good-looking body; the other had somehow regressed in talent for cultivation and was almost useless now.
And what about herself? The proud daughter of heaven, with excellent talent, is now a three-star fighter, not to mention, she has become the disciple of Yun Yun, the master of Yunlan Sect, and has become his only disciple.
In the Fighting Continent, strength is respected, not to mention that the girl was not satisfied with the arranged marriage. She was not willing to marry a useless person she had never met.
Although he is really handsome, handsomeness cannot be used as fighting spirit!
But there is no one to blame for this. When the marriage contract was made, the old men of the two families thought that the children of the two families would become childhood sweethearts in the future. In such a relationship, having a marriage contract is still a good thing, and it can be regarded as a kiss. More kisses.
Who would have thought that in the third year after Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were born, the grandfather of the two brothers was seriously injured and died in a battle with their enemies. After losing the support of the top strong men in the family, the Xiao family also Had to move to Wutan City.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were still young at that time, so the engagement was not discussed in detail with them, so they only knew about it. As for who the man in the engagement was, Xiao Yuan thought it was Xiao Yan, while Xiao Yan thought it was Xiao Yuan.
So neither brother cared much about the engagement.
So, after the two families almost lost contact, the necessary conditions for childhood sweethearts were not met, and Nalan Yanran also reached the age of rebelliousness. In addition, in the girl's heart, she had her own judgment on her husband. Standard, strong-tempered, and naturally not marrying a loser.
Although after meeting the real person, Nalan Yanran was shocked by Xiao Yuan's appearance and hesitated to break off the engagement, but after a battle between heaven and man, Nalan Yanran still made her choice.
She has practiced hard over the years and finally entered the Yunlan Sect. Now she has become the Young Sect Master, just to be able to control her own destiny and make her own decisions.
If she gave up on this matter just because of the other party's good skin, wouldn't her hard work for so many years be in vain?
She must withdraw from this marriage today!
At this time, behind Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, who knew the purpose of Nalan Yanran's trip through Xiao Xun'er, was a little unhappy: This Nalan Yanran has gone too far!
But soon, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan's back with some worry.
If the woman wants to terminate the engagement, she can come to her house and discuss the matter privately. There will definitely be a perfect solution. After all, he still understands his third brother's temperament and thoughts.
But if she really used the power of Yunlan Sect to break off the engagement on such an occasion today, the nature would be completely different.
That not only broke off the engagement, but also slapped Xiao Zhan in the face as Xiao Yuan’s father and the head of the Xiao family.
You must know that when it comes to matters related to people in your own family, the third brother is Shura.
As everyone knows, Xiao Yuan, who was sitting in front, was in a trance after hearing the conversation between the two. Although it sounded like it was very reasonable for him, as the third brother, to undertake this engagement, but in this case, wouldn't he have become A substitute?
How can I increase the strength of Xiaoyan now?
On the other side, under the hint of Nalan Yanran’s eyes who was determined to break off the engagement, the strange old man finally stood up.
