Chapter 6 This engagement should indeed be terminated
“Ahem.” The old man in white robe coughed slightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: “Chief Xiao, before this time The main reason for coming to your family is to ask for something!”
As soon as these words came out, many people were a little stunned. Will people from the Yunlan Sect come to the Xiao family to ask for help?
"Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have something to say. If it's within our ability, the Xiao family will not refuse."
For this old man, Xiao Zhan did not dare to neglect and stood up quickly. He said it politely, but because he didn't know what the other party wanted, he didn't dare to say it too fully.
"If you want to discuss private matters, Miss Nalan might as well take a step to talk. Everything can be easily discussed. Maybe I will visit Mr. Nalan Jie in the future."
Before Ge Ye could speak, Xiao Yuan suddenly stood up, and a plain voice sounded in the hall.
Another way of saying this is: You don’t want me to tell you how arrogant and domineering you are and how you bully others in front of your grandfather, right?
What he said made everyone confused. Even Xiao Zhan couldn't react immediately and looked at his third son with some doubts.
Normally, Yuan'er would not do such a disrespectful thing on such an occasion.
Miss Nalan, Mr. Nalan Jie. Could it be that the girl next to the old man is actually his daughter-in-law, Nalan Yanran?
Xiao Zhang just felt happy in his heart. He recalled Xiao Yuan's meaningful words and finally reacted.
Although my Yuan'er is handsome, she can't practice fighting spirit. Now that Nalan's niece has come with people from the Yunlan Sect, I'm afraid the person who came here is evil!
It seems that Yuan'er has already figured out the key to this matter, but after all, the two families are family friends, so the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person
I saw Xiao Zhan after a while of thoughts. , still showed a gentle smile: "It turns out to be Nalan's niece. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame uncle for his poor eyesight."
The three elders looked at each other and couldn't help but frown...
Nalan Yanran obviously did not expect that Xiao Yuan would directly see through his intentions and say his concessions so preemptively. She also felt a little embarrassed.
This is like when primary school students have a conflict, and one of them suddenly says: I will sue the teacher for you!
I can only say, a sure blow.
For a while, she couldn't think of how to deal with such remarks. In addition, Xiao Zhan was an elder after all and spoke to her so kindly. She had no choice but to not answer, so she had to look a little stiffly. He smiled and said:
"Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to see me. I should apologize, but as for me, how can I dare to blame Uncle Xiao."
As a person who handles affairs all year round, Kuzu Ye, who is on the side, naturally knows that today's matter must be This is wrong, and if the Xiao family refuses according to the plan, they will have to use the name of the sect leader to suppress others later.
But Xiao Yuan's words did make his mind a little alive.
Although the Xiao family is nothing to Yunlan Sect.
He didn’t take it seriously either.
But the boys of the Xiao family are indeed very sensible, and it seems that their minds are far beyond ordinary people. Now that they know the purpose of their trip, they seem to want to save the face of the Xiao family, and they will definitely make the right choice.
In this case, he naturally doesn’t mind selling the Xiao family a favor, maybe the Xiao family’s place will be really useful in the future!
He is able to achieve the strength and status he has today, so he naturally knows how to choose sometimes.
"Haha, in that case, it is a private matter between our two families. How about just as Yuan'er said, you two young people have a good chat first? Yuan'er can't practice, so he can be regarded as the head of the family early. Although the adult ceremony has not yet been held, he can make the decision on his own affairs now."
Xiao Zhan smiled even more and continued. Ge Ye naturally wanted to agree when he heard this, but after all, the thoughts of the young sect leader Nalan Yanran were the most important during this trip. He did not dare to make a decision in private. He could only hope in his heart that Nalan Yanran could make a more rational decision. choice.
The meaning of Xiao Zhan's words was obvious enough. Nalan Yanran was not a fool, and she understood now that neither Xiao Yuan nor Xiao Zhan would refuse to terminate their engagement.
As for the so-called visit to her grandfather, it seems to be a threat to herself, but in fact it is just a helpless excuse. Even if she really wants to use her power to suppress others today, can Xiao Yuan, a useless person who cannot practice, be able to It may be a problem to reach the imperial capital alive. Grandpa can only say a few words about himself.
Looking at it this way, she suddenly felt that this Xiao Yuan was a little cute.
I have to say that Xiao Yuan's handsome face and rational words still made him have a good impression in Nalan Yanran's heart.
Just as men are not too harsh on beautiful women, women are always more tolerant of handsome men.
What's more, in Nalan Yanran's opinion, Xiao Yuan is not only handsome, but also very knowledgeable. As the young master of Yunlan Sect, she should be more generous.
Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran, who felt that everything was under control, also showed a sweet smile: "Okay, it should be so."
Xiao Yuan sat in the chair after hearing this. Xiao Yan behind him couldn't help but curl his lips.
Should that be the case? Then why did you start the Xiao family in such a battle as soon as you came here? If it weren't for the third brother's cleverness, I'm afraid the Xiao family would be completely embarrassed at this moment.
At this level, she is not worthy of being my sister-in-law!
"Miss Nalan, please come with me."
Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this, then turned and walked out.
"Yes."
Nalan Yanran nodded slightly when she heard this, and immediately followed Xiao Yuan out of the hall and strolled on the path in the backyard.
Nalan Yanran looked at the pretty young man in white in front of her, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
As of now, except for the fact that the third son of the Xiao family, who is married to her fingertips, cannot practice cultivation, she is satisfied with everything else.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
It is really impossible for Nalan Yanran to put aside Xiao Yuan's appearance.
But similarly, she doesn’t want to marry a loser. Strength is also an important consideration for her partner.
"Miss Nalan is here to break off the engagement, right?"
Xiao Yuan's calm voice drew Nalan Yanran's attention back.
Seemingly feeling that the girl behind him was a little embarrassed to speak, Xiao Yuan continued:
"This engagement was originally made by the fathers of your family and me, but the plan I can't keep up with the changes, and now I am indeed not worthy of Miss Nalan, who is the young master of the Yunlan Sect. Besides, you and I have almost never met each other, and there is no relationship at all, so naturally there is no talk of marriage. "
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan paused deliberately. When Nalan Yanran behind him wanted to say something, he suddenly turned around, stared into Nalan Yanran's eyes, and said loudly:
"So this engagement should indeed be terminated."
