Wutan City.
Xiao family.
When they heard that the Yunlan Sect came to visit, the Xiao family naturally showed great importance. This was not about attaching importance to the visitor, but to the behemoth that was the Yunlan Sect.
When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
Although this sentence does not exist in Dou Qi Continent, it does not prevent this principle from continuing to circulate. There is a fine line in life and work, so generally when encountering conflicts that are not irreconcilable, the most basic etiquette will be maintained.
The news that Yunlan Sect was going to visit was not something that Xiao Zhan just learned about just now. The formal visit procedure was to notify him in advance. Whether it was a door-to-door notification or a greeting card, the person being visited would not be unaware of it.
Nalan Yanran is not a pure brainless idiot.
It is normal for young people to be impulsive.
But Nalan Yanran still knew the rules of visiting.
Therefore, although Xiao Zhan was unaware of Nalan Yanran's arrival, he also knew that the Yunlan Sect was coming to visit the Xiao family, but he did not know who the person who came to visit was and what his intention was.
However, unlike Xiao Zhan who was confused, although the first elder and the second elder of the Xiao family were also confused, they were keenly aware of the opportunity here. When they thought about the relationship between Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family, they Time is also a matter of calculation.
What is the relationship between Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family?
Yunlan Sect, that is a behemoth.
It is a behemoth that the Alchemist Guild, the Miter Family, and the Garma Royal Family must treat with caution. It can be said that it is a behemoth that the entire Garma Empire must treat with caution.
Let alone the Xiao family.
Even the entire Wutan City would tremble in front of the Yunlan Sect. Even Nalan Jie, the former marshal of the Gama Empire, was proud that his granddaughter Nalan Yanran was accepted into the sect of the Yunlan Sect.
What about the Xiao family?
Just a small family.
Not to mention leaving Wutan City and looking at the world.
Even in Wutan City, the Xiao family cannot reach the point where it can dominate the world with one hand. In these years, it has been suppressed by the Jialie and Auba families.
Therefore, when faced with the visit from Yunlan Sect, Xiao Zhan and the three elders paid great attention to it, and even used the hall as a reception venue, just to let the younger generation of the Xiao family come and have a look. It can be regarded as expressing the Xiao family's attitude of importance to the people of Yunlan Sect.
certainly.
In addition, there is also a little thought.
For example, let the younger generation perform.
Although they are certainly not as good as the disciples of the Yunlan Sect, especially the inner disciples of the Yunlan Sect, after all, the training conditions, including martial arts and fighting skills, are not on the same level, but as long as the Xiao family can give them face, Yunlan Sect probably wouldn't mind accepting two outer disciples.
For the Xiao family, this is a very good result.
It is not realistic to reach the sky in one step.
Xiao Zhan didn't dare to think about it.
The eldest elder, second elder, and third elder of the Xiao family also did not dare to think about it.
Many friends, many paths.
I'm not sure, when will it be used?
Moreover, unlike Canaan College, Yunlan Sect can undoubtedly take better care of the Xiao family. Although Canaan College is strong, its hands and feet cannot reach Wutan City. The Jiama Empire and Yunlan Sect do not allow Canaan College. Destroy your own territory.
Therefore, from all angles, taking the Yunlan Sect train is better than Canaan College.
However, it does not mean to deny Canaan Academy.
Xiao Yu joined Canaan College.
In the Xiao family, he is considered the number one among the younger generation.
It can be seen that the training of Canaan College is still good.
Let’s talk about it in two parts.
Just when Ge Ye followed Nalan Yanran and walked into the hall that had been prepared by the Xiao family, far away in the back of the Xiao family, a young man who was decadent and somewhat lying down lay down with a face full of reluctance. on the grass.
"What a thief!"
"Just catch me and kill me, right?"
"Fighting spirit, fighting spirit..."
"I have refined it!"
"But you should keep it for me!"
"If you say that I was a sieve at the beginning, even if I could cultivate my fighting spirit, it would still dissipate. Then I would not have cultivated to be a fighter, and then I fell down, and now I have to struggle to maintain the third level of fighting spirit. To the point of exerting all one’s strength.”
"But the truth is so unreasonable."
"Obviously I am not a sieve."
"It's not like I can't refine fighting spirit."
"But it just disappeared after being refined!"
"What's the reason?"
"The co-author doesn't even have an instruction manual?"
"What about the golden finger I should get?"
"What a great talent, why can't it work now?"
The young man pointed at the sky and cursed.
Then, he put down his hand tiredly.
You will still work hard if you work hard.
As a time-traveler, he didn't learn anything before time-traveling, he only learned to strive for self-improvement. After time-traveling, he didn't retain anything, only the trace of dignity that was left now.
In addition, there is a mentality that is far beyond ordinary people.
But neither of these two points could help him make a comeback.
Therefore, in his spare time, he could only choose to lie down.
Although shortening the rest time and continuing to practice is also a hard-working method, it is better to refine the fighting spirit in an appropriate amount. Excessive refining of fighting spirit will only lead to a loss of foundation.
In the end, the gains outweigh the losses.
But just when the young man was lying flat like a salted fish, a figure blocking the sun suddenly appeared beside him.
The young man subconsciously raised his eyes.
A small face that looked both happy and angry suddenly came into view.
"Um?"
"Xun'er, why are you here?"
The boy turned over and sat up.
He scratched his hair sheepishly.
Xiao Xun'er didn't pay attention. She narrowed her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and reminded her softly with a smile that made people laugh:
"Today, a guest from the Yunlan Sect is here."
"Uncle Xiao asked me to inform you."
"It is worth mentioning that……"
"Your fiancée is also among them!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown.
He held his chin and said thoughtfully:
"What is she doing here?"
"How many years have you been here?"
"It seems like we were engaged, so we haven't been here, right?"
"I haven't seen her anyway."
"Moreover, this time I came with the Yunlan Sect."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes widened.
Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly stood up from the ground.
He patted the grass clippings on his body, glanced at Xiao Xun'er who pretended not to care, couldn't help but smiled bitterly, touched his nose, and explained in a low voice:
"I really don't know!"
"Besides, Xun'er, you also understand me."
"No matter whether my fighting spirit disappears or not, my fiancée has never seen me. Speaking of which, this is her first visit!"
"I just don't know why she came here."
Although he said that, it would be obviously a lie to say that Xiao Yan had no guesses at all. However, Xiao Yan's education did not support him to maliciously speculate on the other party's intentions before the outcome was determined. Therefore, Xiao Yan was subjective Willingly, he negated his previous thoughts.
certainly.
Not completely negative either.
As a modern person, Xiao Yan also knows that adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving someone timely assistance. However, he has endured so many years of rolling eyes, and now he is not afraid of breaking off the engagement.
Besides, Xiao Yan didn't like marriage contracts at all.
What he advocates is free love.
Because he also accepted the teaching of free love
guide.
Regarding the engagement, Xiao Yan feels that face is more important.
Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Xiao Xun'er, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, said nothing, but she snorted lightly, as if to express her forgiveness for Xiao Yan, and then looked at Xiao Yan's back as he left in a hurry, His eyes gradually became darker.
"It's best not to bully others too much."
"otherwise……"
"There is no need for Yunlan Sect to exist!"
Behind her, a black shadow emerged.
He earnestly cupped his hands, and then advised: "Miss, please put the overall situation first. Although the Yunlan Sect is a small force, the elders in the clan have already expressed their dissatisfaction with your lack of progress on that item, miss. At this time, it’s better not to fall into anyone’s trap.”
Two golden lights flashed in Xiao Xun'er's watery eyes.
His tone also became a little heavier without realizing it.
"My father also criticized me?"
"Or is there someone with ulterior motives?"
Ling Ying smiled bitterly.
We don’t dare to answer this, and we don’t dare to say it.
As the patriarch of the ancient tribe, Gu Yuan, no matter what his attitude and thoughts are, it is not his turn as a little Dou Huang to dictate what to do. Moreover, even if someone has ulterior motives, he can do it to Xiao Xun'er under Gu Yuan's nose. Pressure, status and identity are evident.
They are all battles between gods and immortals.
He, a mortal, didn't want to be affected.
However, Ling Ying still knew his identity very well.
He knows exactly where he stands.
After thinking for a while, he advised impartially: "Master Gu Yuan only has one of his children. You are the only son of a tiger. I can't criticize you even if I have a few criticisms. However, if you don't make any achievements here, Master Gu Yuan will do it." I’m afraid I will bear some of the pressure, especially now that the Soul Clan is gaining momentum, and the Ancient Clan is in urgent need of a leader of the younger generation.”
When doing things, leave three points of leeway.
The same goes for speaking.
Ling Ying cut off the last half of the sentence.
But Xiao Xun'er also understood.
It is nothing more than worrying that the resources here are not good, which will slow down her cultivation speed. Moreover, on the basis of not getting the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, it also slows down her cultivation speed. In the eyes of most people, this is a kind of It's not a good job, because the price paid is not proportional to the gain.
That is to say...
If she could get the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade...
The discussion about her in the clan will weaken a lot.
The slower the cultivation speed, the slower the speed. Anyway, the Gu family has a great business and does not lack these resources. As long as Gu Yuan gives her daughter a perfect childhood, no one can say anything about it.
After all, she proved herself capable.
If she can't get the ancient Tuoshe jade...
If you can cultivate to the level of fighting spirit, you can also...
Dou Ling, who is fifteen years old, is a genius to the outside world.
However, within the eight ancient clans, a fifteen-year-old Dou Ling can be regarded as a normal level at best. A true genius is one who cultivates to Dou Wang or even Dou Huang at the age of fifteen. Several of the ancient clan chiefs in the past have reached this standard.
Gu Yuan also reached it.
However, Gu Yuan met the standard of Dou Wang.
Although he has come a long way to the realm of Dou Wang, according to the older generation, he has reached the realm of Eight Star Dou King, but it is still far behind compared to Dou King.
And she, Gu Xun'er.
Fifteen years old, just a fighting master.
Only after using the secret method did he reach the level of great fighting master.
With the help of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, one can fight against Dou Ling.
However, this is based on her mastery of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame. If she did not have the strange fire of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame in her body, she would at most be a relatively strong fighting master, fighting against a great fighting master. It's a bit difficult, let alone the fighting spirit.
Gu Xun'er had to admit this.
Resources are still valuable to her.
In other words, for any cultivator, they cannot lack enough resources, and any strong person is made of resources.
If she had enough pills in her hand...
Calculated according to the standard configuration of the young master of the ancient clan...
Not to mention that she can now reach the realm of a great fighting master.
If she had strong enough fighting skills...
Calculated according to the standard configuration of the young master of the ancient clan...
On the northwest continent, she dared to say that she was invincible at her level.
Gu Yuan wanted to give it.
However, the Ancient Clan was not Gu Yuan’s one-note family.
If Gu Xun'er returns to the ancient tribe, no one will be dissatisfied with the resources and treatment Gu Xun'er enjoys, even if Gu Xun'er has not made any achievements.
But Gu Xun'er is still in the Xiao family.
What if I gave away some precious elixir to someone else...
Although everyone understands that Gu Xun'er knows the importance of something, there are some aspects that Gu Xun'er, who has never experienced before, does not understand, especially in terms of friendship and feelings, let alone a Gu Xun'er. Xun'er, how many fighting saints have folded in, so in order to prevent the Xiao family from rising, Gu Yuan could only reduce Xiao Xun'er's resource supply correspondingly under the will of the entire ancient clan's top brass, and put some of the resources that could fight The good foundation pills were taken back.
Therefore, the current Gu Xun'er is completely weakened. If calculated according to normal development, Gu Xun'er should be a fighting spirit at the beginning.
After all, he is fifteen years old.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xun'er sighed silently.
After a moment of silence, he waved his hands.
Ling Ying suddenly understood and retreated into the shadows.
Only then did Xiao Xun'er take steps towards the Xiao family hall in the distance.
And at this moment.
In the Xiao family hall.
Xiao Yan, who had just ran over, was faced with a very embarrassing situation: no one left a place for him, and he seemed to have no other choice but to stand!
stool?
have.
There are people sitting on it.
Moreover, no matter which one he is, his status and strength are higher than him, especially the middle-aged man with a silver moon embroidered on his chest, dotted with seven stars, and wearing the Yunlan Sect uniform. He is an extremely rare person. The Seven-Star Fighter's momentum is even comparable to that of Xiao Zhan sitting in the main seat.
What can he do?
The only thing we can do is to take a step back.
bench?
There are also.
However, the seats were all filled with members of the Xiao family.
There were only three guests in total.
The remaining people are all Xiao family members.
And these Xiao family members were still looking at him with strange eyes, and Xiao Ning's eyes were also obviously unkind, even a bit gloating.
He has never been fond of having a warm face but a cold butt.
Besides, who isn’t a little proud yet?
After all, he is also a time traveler.
Five thousand years of civilization have given him enough confidence to ignore these sarcastic remarks, or even deliberately make things difficult, so naturally he will not discuss with others to see if they can make room for him.
Such an unexpected Xiao Yan naturally attracted the attention of Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye, or in other words, it was difficult for them not to notice.
Xiao Zhan felt he had lost face.
He snorted coldly and commanded: "Bring me a chair!"
"Eh……"
The eldest elder of the Xiao family shook his head slightly.
Then, he ordered the Xiao family disciples on the side: "You all move over and make room for him."
The veins on Xiao Zhan's forehead throbbed violently.
He glanced at Ge Ye, who was smiling but not smiling, and then glanced pointedly at the eldest elder of the Xiao family who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. He immediately understood the other person's little plan and couldn't help snorting angrily.
Then, he cast an apologetic look at Xiao Yan.
This is a father's apology to his son.
Because he can't help his son at the moment.
The moment he became the head of the Xiao family, he had to choose to protect the face of the Xiao family. If even a patriarch does not protect the face of the family, then this patriarch is not a competent patriarch.
This has nothing to do with whether you are strong or not.
certainly.
There are also some strong people who are so powerful that their personal face is the face of their family. Therefore, the patriarchs of some families choose to protect their personal face, which is also a disguised way of protecting the family's face.
Therefore, he knew better than to get angry now.
You can't even scold the eldest elder of the Xiao family.
How can the host have internal strife when guests are present?
Moreover, the eldest elder of the Xiao family also gave steps.
even though……
This step was probably given so that Xiao Ning could step on Xiao Yan's face to get to the top, but it was indeed a step given.
However, how could Xiao Yan be a submissive person?
Which time traveler is a resigned person?
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your kindness."
"I'm still young, so there's no harm in standing still."
Xiao Yan replied calmly.
Xiao Ning, who was impatient, suddenly became anxious.
But before he could get anxious, a beautiful girl as light as a lotus slowly walked into the hall of the Xiao family, making everyone's eyes brighten.
Nalan Yanran's expression changed slightly when she saw Xiao Xun'er.
As a girl, she knew exactly what level her appearance was, and it might be different from her teacher Yun Yun, but among her peers, she had never seen someone who could overpower her in terms of appearance and temperament. girl.
Now that she has met Xiao Xun'er, although she still doesn't know how strong Xiao Xun'er is, Nalan Yanran has thrown away the little pride in her heart and replaced it with a trace of solemnity.
Seeing this, the eldest elder of the Xiao family didn't know what to say.
Xiao Xun'er's background is terrifying.
Although no one knows the name and location of the force behind Xiao Xun'er, it can be seen from the fact that when Xiao Xun'er's father sent Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao family, a Dou Huang-level guard followed behind him. Xiao Xun'er is definitely someone the Xiao family cannot afford to offend.
A fighting emperor can establish a sect in the Jiama Empire. For example, the current leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, and the previous Ice Emperor of the Miter family are all serious fighting emperors.
But this kind of strong man who can establish a sect in the Jia Ma Empire is just a guard beside Xiao Xun'er's father. Thinking about it makes the eldest elder of the Xiao family restless.
Xiao Ning is also very discerning.
To be precise, there is no boy in the Xiao family who doesn't like Xiao Xun'er. When a person's appearance and temperament are extremely outstanding, even if he stands in the crowd, he will stand out from the crowd and can be seen at a glance.
A fifteen-year-old boy has all the thoughts he should have.
After all, this is a world of extraordinary power.
Maybe I'm still confused in some aspects, and I can't even tell what friendship is, what love is, and what good feelings and lust are, but I can still tell who I like to be with and who I stay with. The mood can be happier and more comfortable.
Therefore, when Xiao Xun'er walked in, Xiao Ning subconsciously raised his hand to wave to Xiao Xun'er, and then said politely: "Cousin Xun'er, come here!"
"Thanks."
"But that's not necessary."
Xiao Xun'er understood the situation at a glance.
His eyes flickered slightly.
Then, he walked to a child of the Xiao family standing aside.
"Excuse me, can you make two places for me?"
The two Xiao family disciples looked at each other excitedly.
Then, he stood up helplessly and nodded repeatedly.
It was only then that Xiao Xun'er waved to Xiao Yan, who was holding his breath not far away. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was self-evident.
Xiao Yan didn't hold it either.
He just doesn't like a hot face against a cold butt.
It's not that he doesn't know the warmth and warmth of human relationships.
He sat down naturally, ignoring the eyes full of scrutiny, envy, jealousy and hatred, and sighed to Xiao Xun'er beside him:
"Fortunately, Xun'er is here."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to stand there for a few hours."
Xiao Xun'er pursed her lips and smiled.
Opening the book in his hand, he whispered:
"Brother Xiao Yan is joking."
"How many hours can there be?"
"Since the people from Yunlan Sect are here to talk about things, no matter whether the matter is good or bad, it only takes an hour at most to determine a direction. Once the direction is determined, there will be no need for so many people to watch when the plan is presented. Already."
"only……"
"I wonder if Brother Xiao Yan is mentally prepared."
With Xiao Xun'er's ability, it couldn't be easier to find out Nalan Yanran's purpose, especially since Nalan Yanran had no intention of covering it up, which made the already uncomplicated investigation even simpler.
to be honest.
Xiao Xun'er was very angry when she just found out that Nalan Yanran was here to break off the engagement, but after thinking about it later, the anger in her heart seemed to subside a little.
Who Nalan Yanran likes and whom she dislikes is Nalan Yanran's own problem. If she keeps guarding the treasure mountain without knowing it, she might as well end it early.
However, what she didn't know was whether Xiao Yan could withstand this blow. After all, this time the engagement was broken off in public, especially when the woman broke off the engagement to the man.
Since ancient times, I have heard that a man withdraws from a woman’s marriage.
Usually the excuse is "I don't love myself".
After breaking off the engagement, the woman's reputation was obviously ruined.
But the woman breaks off the man’s marriage...
This is the first time I heard about Xiao Xun'er's life.
Moreover, it was also the first time I saw it.
In this regard, Xiao Yan behaved very calmly.
Perhaps in his opinion, Nalan Yanran would not break off the engagement in person. Although her intentions were very dangerous, she could still save some face for her father, Xiao Zhan.
As for Xiao Yan’s face...
If it is lost, it is lost.
If there are too many lice, don’t be afraid to bite them.
Anyway, he lost a lot of face.
If you lose it again, it won’t be lost this time.
However, no one expected that Ge Ye would actually express his request to break off the engagement in public, even if it was rather obscure:
"Forgive me, Head of the Xiao family."
"At this time, our Yunlan Sect is also belatedly aware of this."
"According to the rules of our Yunlan Sect, the next successor of the sect leader cannot have any emotional entanglements. If the successor becomes the sect leader, he can break this rule, but the successor himself must still abide by this rule."
"I also know that this is a bit excessive."
"For this, Yunlan Sect is willing to compensate."
"I hope the head of the Xiao family will consider it..."
