Chapter 206 Identity
The next day, there was no schedule for the Alchemist Conference, so Xiao Yan practiced in the room for the entire day. It was not until the window outside the window gradually dimmed that he slowly opened his eyes. Then I got out of bed, washed up, and got ready to go out.
It was already dark, and the lights in the small courtyard and the streets outside the door were already on. When Qinglin saw Xiao Yan going out, he was about to speak, but Xiao Yan just raised a finger to touch it. on his lips.
"——Shh."
With a smile on his face, Xiao Yan said softly: "It's better not to disturb Miss Wan, Qinglin, I'm going out, it may be very late. I will come, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
"Anyway, the yard here is very clean. You don't need to work around every day. You should focus more on your cultivation."
Qinglin saw this and nodded lightly. , and watched Xiao Yan put on his mask and go out.
After putting on the mask, Xiao Yan's aura also changed, and he became a genius known to everyone in the imperial capital.
Leaving the quiet streets, Xiao Yan came to the door of Nalan Mansion. The guard in front of the door recognized Xiao Yan, so when he saw him coming, he naturally would not stop him, but instead shouted respectfully. Mr. Rock Owl.
But Xiao Yan, who had a lot of doubts in his heart, was naturally not as leisurely and calm as before.
He hurriedly walked into the courtyard of the Nalan family, passed through the long corridor decorated with lights, and in the inner courtyard, under the blue night sky, people from all the major families in the imperial capital came. laughter.
Things like Nalan Jie's recovery are naturally regarded as a top priority by the Nalan family. Now that the head of the family has recovered from the poison, it is natural to celebrate it, but Nalan just It is not enough for the family to celebrate on their own, so naturally they need to send out invitations widely and invite representatives of the major families in the imperial capital.
This is not only a celebration, but also a warning and demonstration to a certain extent, telling those who are our current allies, but who are not sure but will bite them from behind, take a closer look, Nalan The backbone of the family is still there, so this huge family will still stand strong.
Decades later, Nalan Yanran officially took over the responsibility of the Yunlan Sect from Yun Yun. Even if the Nalan family lost Nalan Jie as their pillar, they would only climb higher and higher.
At the first glance after entering the venue, Xiao Yan already roughly understood the stakes involved. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling bored.
Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Yafei, who had already been here for a long time, was naturally positive and immediately brought Miter Tengshan to Xiao Yan.
“Brother Yan Xiao is here, it’s really easy for my sister to wait.”
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan who was wearing a mask, and not only asked, but Xiao Yan shook his head Shaking his head: "I was so absorbed in my cultivation for a moment... Sister Yafei, on the other hand, came too fast."
"After all, sister is not an idler like you. She can run around without even touching the ground. I will definitely be able to finish the race.”
“Okay, I won’t joke with you anymore, let me introduce to you...”
But before Ya Fei could finish her words, the old man who walked with Ya Fei couldn't help but smile and wave his hands, saying: "Forget it Ya Fei, let me speak on my own... Little friend Yan Xiao, I have already I heard, I’m glad to meet you. I am Miter Tengshan, the great elder of the Miter family.”
“The nameless boy is not worthy of the great elder Tengshan’s concern.”
The intersection is like this. It is obvious that each other is just being polite, but they will maintain this false flattery tacitly.
"There are not many people in the Jiama Empire who can be treated like this by Dehai Lao. Can I still call him unknown?" Miter Tengshan asked with a smile.
"Haha, little friend Yan Xiao, please take a seat." He smiled and gave up the seat next to him. Miter Tengshan stepped back a little. After seeing Xiao Yan sit down, he smiled and said : "Little friend Yan Xiao, your results in this Alchemist Guild's test are very good. Congratulations."
"Where? It's just luck."
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and could only be hypocritically polite again.
"Young Yan Xiao is in Jia Ma Imperial Capital during this period. If you need any help, you can go directly to Ya Fei. You and she are old acquaintances anyway."
Mi Ter Tengshan said with a smile, Hai Lao said before that he has a close relationship with the noble man, but even if the relationship may not be that kind of relationship in the future, it will not prevent him from soaring into the sky in the future.
Therefore, Miter Tengshando only gave verbal reminders, slight hints and hints, and made insinuations, but did not clarify his purpose.
Otherwise, nine out of the ten clan leaders would be old foxes. He shook his head helplessly, and Xiao Yan could only agree with a smile.
As the head of the clan, Miter Tengshan is naturally quite talkative, and Yafei occasionally interrupted with a smile during the dinner. The atmosphere here seemed to be extremely harmonious.
…………
On the other side of the Nalan family’s courtyard, there are the three heads of the Nalan family, Nalan Jie, his grandson, father and son. Nalan Jie and Nalan Su are busy entertaining guests. , while Nalan Yanran was quietly holding a wine glass and sitting quietly in a quiet corner.
Because no one would specifically talk to her at this time, Nalan Yanran simply ignored the noisy banquet and just sat there boredly staring at the stars above her head.
The night sky is beautiful, but because of the bustling lights in the imperial capital, it makes the starry night above the head a little darker, which makes people feel a little regretful.
Nalan Yanran rarely drinks, but she doesn’t know how to drink. She took a sip of the somewhat overpowering wine in her glass. Nalan Yanran inevitably frowned slightly, and then subconsciously looked at He saw the figure on the other side of the yard who was chatting happily with Yafei and Miter Tengshan.
She sighed softly and couldn't help but shake her head. She had no intention of disturbing Xiao Yan. After all, her identity would make people dislike her, so she had better not put her hot face on someone else's cold butt.
However, not long after Nalan Yanran was thinking like this, it seemed that she had almost finished chatting with Miter Tengshan. Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, and then subconsciously glanced around quickly. , then met Nalan Yanran’s gaze.
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but be slightly startled. There was inevitably some doubt in those clear eyes, what is Xiao Yan doing? You couldn't come here to talk to her on purpose, right?
However, Xiao Yan's next actions confirmed Nalan Yanran's suspicion. He looked at Nalan Yanran, and then walked towards her slowly and impartially.
Although Nalan Yanran was confused, she was too embarrassed to leave at this time, so she waited for him to walk slowly, while she couldn't help but guess what he was planning to do.
"...Miss Nalan, don't you want to take a walk?"
Finally, Xiao Yan came to her and said.
Nalan Yanran only felt surprised. After all, when she was getting along with him a few days ago, Xiao Yan always kept a distance from her consciously, and his attitude was always cold. At most, he only answered questions when he asked him questions.
"What's the point of walking here? Aren't these people walking around?"
Nalan Yanran shrugged her shoulders and then said: "If you are strong enough, , these people will naturally come to cater to you, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Oh, that’s what you would say.”
“Really? Mr. Xiao.”
Nalan Yanran asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't matter, let's put this aside for now..."
Xiao Yan said: "I have some other questions I want to ask you...This is our first meeting. You acted so familiar. Why? Because we have met before?” That’s it.”
Nalan Yanran shook her head. She had been studying with Yao Wan for a long time, and she was somewhat familiar with Yao Wan’s ability to tell lies with her eyes open.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and Xiao Yan almost laughed angrily at Nalan Yanran's words.
But it doesn’t matter, this is not the only thing he can doubt about her: “I know a companion who has also used a sword. I heard that Miss Nalan joined the Yunlan Sect, which is also a rare sword sect. I wonder if it is possible. Let me see a thing?”
“…Okay, but there’s no rush. It will be a three-year appointment in a while, and Mr. Yan Xiao can watch it.”
Nalan Yanran shook her head and said.
“…Isn’t it interesting for you to use such a shell to deceive others?”
Xiao Yan rubbed his brows irritably and asked straightforwardly.
"Who is wearing a shell to see people now, do you need me to tell you?"
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but look directly into Xiao Yan's eyes, and said Asked word for word.
"...Tsk."
Xiao Yan smacked his lips. If nothing else, she had become even more eloquent in the past three years.
"As for my previous disguise, she made it for me. Her original words to me were that she hoped that the two of us could get along well."
Nalan Yanran said: "You have already suspected it anyway. Then I don’t have to hide it from you now, are you happy now?”
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran with mixed feelings.
After all, this is the reunion of two people who know each other's identities.
"Angry? If you are angry, then go to her, but don't take it out on me."
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and could guess Xiao Yan's mood at the moment, so she couldn't help but say.
Xiao Yan, who was inevitably a little angry at first, gradually calmed down when he heard Nalan Yanran's words.
Xiao Yan simply sat in front of her and said, "Why should I be angry? It was Yan Xiao who appeared in the Nalan family compound, not Xiao Yan."
Nalan Yanran looked at him and shrugged. She didn't want to have any more conflicts with Xiao Yan. The three-year agreement between them was already enough to make people anxious. There was no need for her to have any more conflicts with Xiao Yan. .
What she said was actually just to scare Xiao Yan. After all, both of them knew that Xiao Yan could not lose his temper at Yao Wan.
The results so far seem to be quite effective.
