Chapter 6 This engagement should indeed be terminated
"Ahem." The old man in white robe coughed lightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: "Chief Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly because I have something to ask for!"
As soon as these words came out, many people were a little stunned. Would people from the Yunlan Sect also come to the Xiao family?
"Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have anything to say. If it's within our ability, the Xiao family won't refuse."
Regarding this old man, Xiao Zhan did not dare to be negligent and quickly stood up and spoke politely. However, because he did not know what the other party wanted, he did not dare to speak 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 to put 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?
These words 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 Zhan 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 also family friends. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand.
After Xiao Zhan thought about it for a while, he 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 frowned...
Nalan Yanran obviously did not expect that Xiao Yuan would directly see through his intentions and say something so preemptively that she was 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!
All I can say is, a sure blow.
For a moment, 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 not to answer. She could only smile with a stiff expression and said:
"Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to see her, so she should apologize. But how can I dare to blame Uncle Xiao?"
On the side, Ge Ye, as someone who handles affairs all year round, naturally knows that what is happening today is definitely wrong. Moreover, according to the plan, if the Xiao family refuses, 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 wouldn't mind selling the Xiao family a favor, and maybe the Xiao family's place would actually be useful in the future!
For him to be able to achieve the strength and status he has today, 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 it has not yet been held. It’s a coming-of-age ceremony, but now he can make the decision on his own matters.”
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. s 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, Xiao Yuan, a useless person who cannot practice, will probably not be able to reach the imperial capital alive. The problem is that grandpa can only say a few words about himself.
From this point of view, 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 mind.
Just as men are not too harsh on beautiful women, women are always more tolerant of handsome men.
What's more, now, in Nalan Yanran's view, Xiao Yuan is not only handsome, but also very knowledgeable. As the young master of the 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 Yan, who was sitting behind Xiao Yuan, couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing these words.
Is that what it should be? 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.
"Um."
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.
From the current point of view, except for the fact that the third son of the Xiao family who was married to her fingertips could not practice cultivation, she was satisfied with everything else.
Heart of beauty in everyone.
It is really impossible for Nalan Yanran to put aside Xiao Yuan's appearance.
But similarly, she doesn't want to marry a loser, and 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.
As if feeling that the girl behind him was a little embarrassed to speak, Xiao Yuan continued:
"This engagement was originally decided by the fathers of our two families, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now I am indeed not worthy of Miss Nalan, who is the young master of the Yunlan Sect. Besides, there is no relationship between you and me. We have barely met each other and have no relationship, so naturally there is no talk of marriage.”
Having said 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."
