Chapter 739: to deter
Chapter 739 Shocking
Outside the Xiao family mansion, a middle-aged man with a dignified look on his eyebrows and a beautiful girl with a green jade pendant on his earlobe slowly stepped into the gate of the Xiao family mansion, and walked towards the hall with surprised eyes.
This man is Nalansu, the contemporary patriarch of the Nalan family, and the girl is Nalansu's daughter.
Almost the moment Nalansu and Nalan Yanran walked into the Xiao family mansion, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, as if the two had their own halo, which was hard to ignore.
The Nalan family is a well-known and powerful family in the entire Jama Empire.
Most of the guests around were from the Jiama Empire. No one knew the name of the Nalan family, and no one knew it. After learning the identities of Nalansu and Nalan Yanran, they were all surprised.
"It turned out to be Patriarch Nalan!"
"Is this girl Nalan Yanran? She is worthy of being the most famous daughter of the Jiama Empire. She is already a four-star fighter at a young age!"
"It is rumored that the eldest lady of the Nalan family once brought people from the Yunlan Sect to the Xiao family to break off the marriage, which made the entire Xiao family ashamed. What is the purpose of their coming today?"
Everyone was talking a lot, but fortunately, they were still concerned about the Xiao family's face and deliberately lowered their voices.
in the hall.
Xiao Xuan was talking with Gu Yuan when he heard a voice from outside, his voice stagnant, his eyes paused slightly, and then he threw out the door.
"The Nalan family?" Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Is that the Nalan family who broke off the marriage with my Xiao family?"
Gu Yuan also looked out the door with great interest. He was also quite curious about the Nalan family, especially the Nalan Yanran who brought the Yun Lanzong powerhouse to the door to break off the marriage. Such a girl with such a personality is rare. .
Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er were entertaining the guests, but when they heard the arrival of the Nalan family, Xiao Yan made a move.
Gu Xun'er gently embraced Xiao Yan's wrist: "Brother Xiao Yan."
"Oh, don't worry, Xun'er, I'm fine." Xiao Yan regained his composure, glanced at Gu Xun'er with a smile, and said, "Today is the day when you and I get engaged. We don't care about these spoilers."
Although Xiao Zhan also has no good feelings for the Nalan family, Nalan Jie, the old man of the Nalan family, was a good friend of the old man of the Xiao family when he was alive. Nalan family.
He took a deep breath, went up to meet him, and said calmly, "Welcome to Patriarch Nalan, and welcome to Miss Nalan!"
In the past, he affectionately addressed Nalan Su as Brother Nalan and Nalan Yanran as Nalan's niece, but now, he can't say anything. From the moment Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, the Xiao family and Nalan An irreparable crack appeared in the Lan family.
"Brother Xiao." Seeing Xiao Zhan's expressionless welcome, Nalansu showed a wry smile, "The little girl broke off the marriage without the permission of the old man and me. I was thinking of coming to the door to apologize as soon as possible and renew the engagement, but because of the old man's affairs, the time was delayed, and I also hoped for Xiao's brother Haihan. Regardless of whether Xiao's brother believes it or not, I must say that Xiao Yan and the little girl's marriage contract, the old man and I agree to it. Never thought of giving up!"
He looked at Xiao Zhan solemnly, with sincere apology in his eyes: "If I knew the little girl would do this, I would definitely stop her!"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Since the engagement has been terminated, there is no need to say any more."
"Brother Xiao, I brought the little girl to the door today for two purposes. One is to congratulate Xiao Yan's nephew and Xun'er on their engagement, and the other is to let the little girl apologize in front of everyone." Nalansu felt ashamed and spoke with confidence. It wasn't enough, he glared at Nalan Yanran and scolded, "Don't apologize to your Uncle Xiao Zhan soon!"
Nalan Yanran also knew that her attitude at the time was a bit too much. After she went back, she regretted it a little. Now in front of everyone, she is not stage fright at all, and bowed deeply to Xiao Zhan: "I'm sorry, uncle!"
However, Xiao Zhan moved aside and said to Nalan Yanran: "Ms. Nalan's daughter, Xiao Zhan can't afford this bow... As for the apology, Miss Nalan sacrifices a little in pursuit of her own freedom and happiness. What's the matter with the reputation of the Xiao family? After all, how can my Xiao family climb up to the Nalan family?"
"Brother Xiao." Nalansu frowned, but suppressed his emotions, and said sternly: "I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the Nalan family, and I am not pretentious at all. This is also what the old man means. Strange poison, unable to move, I am afraid I have come to apologize in person. The Nalan family's damage to the Xiao family can't be made up with an apology alone. If brother Xiao doesn't mind, I can re-engage with you in front of everyone. , let the little girl Yanran and Xiao Yan renew their fate..."
Xiao Zhan was a little surprised, Nalansu's remarks were obviously sincere.
Nalan Yanran frowned lightly and said, "I have no fate with Xiao Yan, even if there is, it would be a bad fate. Dad, I admit that I have done something wrong, but there is nothing to do with re-engagement. Right."
A proud girl, just like when she broke off her marriage, her pride in her bones cannot be trampled on.
"Presumptuous!" Nalan said sternly: "You have the final say in the words of your parents' life matchmaker?"
Xiao Zhan also saw that the old man Nalan Jie and the patriarch Nalan Su should not have any thoughts of regretting their marriage, but Nalan Yanran was too proud, and joined the Yunlan Sect by herself, and was established as the Yunlan Sect The heir, that's why he is eager to get rid of the shackles of marriage... Of course, Xiao Zhan did not completely believe him because of Nalansu's one-sided remarks. Who knows if this will be a play directed by Nalansu?
Although there is still a trace of doubt in his heart, Xiao Zhan doesn't like to speculate maliciously on others, he only thinks Nalansu really thinks so.
"Thank you for the kindness of Patriarch Nalan, but today is Xiao Yan and Xun'er's engagement banquet, so don't mention the marriage contract." Xiao Zhan said lightly, "You can come to Xiao Yan and Xun'er's engagement banquet, The Xiao family is very welcome, but on such an occasion, is it inappropriate to talk about such a thing?"
After finished speaking, he didn't wait for Nalansu to answer, then turned around and said, "You two, please come in."
Nalansu hesitated for a while, but still followed Xiao Zhan to the hall.
Nalan Yanran glanced at Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er, and finally her eyes fell on Gu Xun'er, a little surprised, this talented girl who is not inferior to herself, is willing to marry Xiao Yan this waste? What's so attractive about this waste?
"Miss Nalan, please take a seat in the hall." Xiao Yan ignored Nalan Yanran's elegant gaze and said lightly.
Nalan Yanran hesitated for a while, then nodded to Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er: "Congratulations to you both."
Xiao Yan was noncommittal and said again: "Please!"
turned around, Nalan Yanran quickly followed Nalansu's footsteps and walked into the hall.
"People from the Temir family." As soon as they entered the hall, Nalansu and Nalan Yanran saw Ya Fei who was not far from the door. This woman was so charming that she would become the line of sight of the crowd wherever she sat. The focus, even if Nalansu and Nalan Yanran arrive, they can't suppress her aura. Although Nalan Yanran is handsome and talented, it still can't hide Ya Fei's mature and moving style.
Ya Fei saw that Nalansu and Nalan Yanran noticed her, so she couldn't help standing up and said with a smile: "Ya Fei has seen Patriarch Nalan and Miss Nalan!"
Nalansu nodded slightly to Ya Fei, and then moved his eyes to the direction of the main seat of the hall.
"Master!" In just a split second, Nalansu and Nalan Yanran felt a mountain-like pressure. The two of them didn't know each other, but they both exuded a terrifying aura. It made them feel like they were facing the supreme king. The most important thing was that they couldn't see through the cultivation base of the two at all. As soon as they got close, they felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, and they had an air of breathlessness. It felt like I almost fell to my knees.
Fortunately, that pressure only appeared for a moment and then disappeared suddenly.
Xiao Xuan withdrew his gaze from them, and said casually: "The Xiao family is not to be insulted, this time for the sake of your sincere apology, forget it, if there is another crime, the Nalan family does not need to exist."
Many people who didn't know Xiao Xuan's identity all looked at Xiao Xuan in surprise.
This tone is too big!
Nalansu didn't dare to refute a word. The pressure of this mysterious powerhouse was too strong. Compared with his father Nalan Jie's peak period, he was even more terrifying. He even suspected that the other party might be Dou Huang or even Dou Huang. Zong Qiang, such a person, if he is determined to destroy the Nalan family, it will not be troublesome.
"Who is this person?" Nalansu was extremely shocked.
He was a little surprised, when did such a strong man appear in the Xiao family?
Nalan Yanran was also silent, with a bad premonition.
Xiao Zhan said at this time: "This is the ancestor of our Xiao family, Xiao Xuan!"
"Junior Nalansu, I have seen Senior Xiao Xuan!"
"Junior Nalan Yanran, I have seen Senior Xiao Xuan!"
Nalansu and Nalan Yanran saluted together, extremely respectful.
This is a terrifying existence that is likely to be stronger than the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. Unexpectedly, the Xiao family still hides such a terrifying ancestor.
Xiao Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he had no interest in paying attention to Nalansu and Nalan Yanran.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan introduced to Nalansu and Nalan Yanran: "This is Xun'er's father, Gu Yuan. You can call him... Gu Patriarch." He pointed to Gu Yuan and said Gu Yuan. Yuan's identity, as for more information, he did not deliberately mention it.
Nalansu and Nalan Yanran did not underestimate Gu Yuan at all. This man sat on an equal footing with Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, and drank tea together, which shows his high status. I am afraid that he is not under Xiao Xuan, and he must be an extremely terrifying existence.
No wonder Xiao Xun'er... Gu Xun'er's talent is so strong, and he has cultivated to such a level at a young age. It turns out that his origin is so unusual.
"I have seen the ancient patriarch!" Nalansu and Nalan Yanran clasped their fists to greet Gu Yuan again.
"Today is the day when Xiao Yan and Xun'er got engaged. I will let go of the past. You can find a place to sit down." Gu Yuan nodded slightly, looking very calm. Although he was wearing a cloth shirt, there was a strong expression between his brows. The majesty of the superior, but it gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
With Xiao Zhan's greeting, Nalansu and Nalan Yanran sat down beside Ya Fei.
"This Xiao Xuan... Who is it? When did the Xiao family have such an ancestor?" Nalansu couldn't calm down for a long time, "If only my father was here, when the Xiao family moved to the Jiama Empire, Father got acquainted with the old man Xiao, he has a very good relationship with the old man of the Xiao family, he must know some secrets about the Xiao family, maybe he knows this ancestor Xiao Xuan."
Nalan Yanran was a little lost. She remembered the scene of going to the door to break off the marriage that day. Thanks to her thinking that she had the support of the Yunlan Sect, she could be unscrupulous in the Xiao family. If this ancestor Xiao Xuan made a move at that time... Can she walk out completely The Xiao family is still unknown.
As expected of an ancient family that has been passed down for an unknown number of years, with such a terrifying background, I am afraid it is no different from the Yunlan Sect.
But the most curious thing in Nalan Yanran's heart is what kind of cultivation level does this ancestor Xiao Xuan and Gu Xun'er's father Gu Yuan have?
"Why, sister Yanran regrets it?" Ya Fei blinked slightly, looking at Nalan Yanran sitting next to her, slightly lost, "But yes, the Xiao family has such a background, it is reasonable for sister Yanran to regret. "
regret?
Nalan Yanran said coldly: "I do things Nalan Yanran, and I never regret it! What if the Xiao family's background is terrible? What does it have to do with me, Nalan Yanran?" She never felt that she was wrong from the beginning to the end. Now, at most, she admitted that her attitude was a bit extreme at the beginning, which made the Xiao family a little unable to come down from the stage, that's all.
Ya Fei smiled: "Haha, sister Yanran has such a personality, but it makes my sister admire."
Just as Ya Fei's voice fell, a loud voice came from outside the hall again: "Snake people...beautiful, Queen Medusa is here!" That loud voice, when she announced Queen Medusa's name, There was a hint of trembling in her voice. No one was afraid of this woman whose vicious and glamorous name spread throughout the Jiama Empire.
"Queen Medusa!" Nalan Yanran, Nalan Su, Ya Fei and the others were all shocked, all stood up and looked out of the door.
