Chapter 31 Breaking off the Engagement
“Cough.”
The old man in white robe coughed slightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: “Chief Xiao, come here this time Your family mainly wants to ask for something!"
"Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have something to do. If you can, the Xiao family will not refuse."
For this old man. , Xiao Zhan didn't dare to neglect, he quickly stood up and said politely. However, since I didn’t know what the other party wanted, I didn’t dare to say too much.
"Haha, Chief Xiao, do you know her?"
Ge Ye smiled slightly, pointed at the girl beside him and asked with a smile.
"Uh... I'm sorry for Xiao Zhan's poor eyesight, who is this lady?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was stunned, looked at the girl up and down, and shook his head in embarrassment.
“Ahem, her name is Nalan Yanran.”
"Nalan Yanran? Mr. Nalan's granddaughter Nalan Yanran?"
Xiao Zhan was startled at first, and then his face was full of joy. He must have remembered what happened back then. At that moment, he hurriedly exposed himself to the girl 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 being blind.”
“Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to see you. It’s time for me to see you. I am the one who wants to apologize, how dare I blame Uncle Xiao?"
Nalan Yanran smiled sweetly.
"Haha, niece Nalan, I have heard before that you were accepted by Lord Yunyun. I thought it was a rumor at the time. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. My niece is really talented."
Xiao Zhanxiao said in admiration.
"Yanran is just lucky..."
Nalan Yanran smiled awkwardly, and pulled Kuzu Ye with her palm under the table, telling him to get to the point.
"Haha, Chief Xiao, what I am requesting today is related to Yanran, and the sect leader himself spoke about it."
Kuzu Ye chuckled lightly, and when he mentioned the word sect leader, the expression on his face was slightly solemn.
His face changed slightly, and Xiao Zhan also suppressed his smile. Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, was a big shot in the Jiama Empire. He, the leader of a small clan, could not afford to be offended at all. She could With his strength and power, what else does the Xiao family need help with? Ge Ye said it was related to Nalan's niece, could it be...?
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, feeling angry in his heart, but he did not get angry immediately.
"Mr. Ge Ye, it's okay to say it."
Ge Ye's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, but remembering the sect master's love for Nalan Yanran, he had to grit his teeth and said:
"Clan Chief Xiao, you also know that the Yunlan Sect has a strict family tradition, and the master has high expectations for Yanran. Now he is basically training her as the next leader of the Yunlan Sect... and because of some special rules , The descendants of the sect master are not allowed to have entanglements with men before they become the official sect master."
"After asking about Yanran, the sect master knew that she had a marriage with the Xiao family, so...so the sect master wanted to. Please, Chief Xiao, can...can you terminate this engagement?"
"Crack——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tea cup in Xiao Zhan's hand shattered and turned into powder in his hand.
The entire reception hall fell into a dead silence.
Nalan Yanran lowered her head, while Ge Ye felt he was wrong and just smiled awkwardly.
The people of the Xiao family in the hall couldn't help but look at their guests inexplicably. The three elders didn't seem to be able to rejoice in the misfortune. Xiao Zhan's family now has a noble person to help them and has a bright future.
When they thought of this, when they looked at the three guests of Yunlan Sect, there was a trace of inexplicable... pity on their faces.
After the silence, Xiao Zhan looked indifferently at Nalan Yanran who bowed her head and said nothing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Niece Nalan, you are so courageous. Nalan Su has a daughter like you, it is really impressive. Envy! ”
The delicate body trembled slightly, and Nalan Yanran said naa: "Uncle Xiao..."
"Haha, just call me Patriarch Xiao. I can't bear the title of uncle. You are the future Yun Lan The master of the sect will also be a prominent figure in Douqi Continent in the future. My Yan'er is just a person with mediocre qualifications and is indeed not worthy of you."
Waving his hand lightly, Xiao Zhan said in a cold tone.
“Thank you, Patriarch Xiao, for your understanding.”
Hearing this, Ge Ye was overjoyed and smiled apologetically at Xiao Zhan: “Chief Xiao, the sect leader knows that today’s request is quite unfair. It’s polite, so I specially asked you to bring me something as an apology!”
As he spoke, Kuzu Ye reached out and touched the ring, and a green ancient jade box appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Opening the box carefully, a strange fragrance suddenly filled the hall, and everyone who smelled it felt refreshed.
"... Qi Gathering Powder?"
Xiao Zhan just glanced at it, then looked at the three elders of the clan, and suddenly smiled, even the coldness on his face disappeared. Dissipated a little.
The three elders looked at me and I looked at you. They looked at each other, but they all understood what Xiao Zhan meant.
This person will always only see the best, but not the inferior ones.
When I first met the mysterious girl Wan half a year ago, she raised her hand and gave her the Shiling Pill, which can benefit even great Dou Masters and Dou Lings. Xiao Zhan even used the Shiling Pill for half a year. Jump two stars in a row to become a seven-star fighting master, and there is hope for a fighting spirit in the future.
Miss Wan even bought twelve treasures like Shi Ling Dan, which is a must-have in the Jia Ma Empire, but now the Yunlan Sect’s thank you gift for breaking off the engagement is actually one Qi Gathering Powder?
Every member of the Xiao family who attended the clan meeting half a year ago looked increasingly strange when they saw the three guests from the Yunlan Sect.
I thought that the Yunlan Sect that dominated the Jia Ma Empire was what kind of overlord, but now I see it...
Although I don’t know if it’s a bit wrong to say this...but it seems to be quite chilling.
Kudzu Ye also noticed that the atmosphere was not quite what he thought. He laughed dryly and then explained: "Haha, this is practiced by Mr. Furukawa, the honorary elder of our sect. I believe you have heard of him. The old man’s name is taboo, right?”
The expressions of everyone in the Xiao family softened slightly when they heard that the elixir was refined by Dan Wang Furukawa, a renowned sixth-grade alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire.
However, the patriarch and his son may not agree to such an apology.
In the past six months, the arrival of the mysterious guest had greatly changed the Xiao family, and it also directly changed the direction of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.
There was no trace of gloating on many people's faces, they just wanted to see the defeated faces of these guests being slapped later.
As if to respond to the thoughts of many people, Xiao Yan then said: "Please Mr. Ge Ye, please take back this Qi Gathering Powder. We cannot agree to break off the engagement."< br>
As he spoke, Xiao Yan glanced at his father indicatively.
Xiao Zhan paused, understood what his son meant, and then took out a small jade bottle from his arms.
