After An Xiaoran finished speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time.
This low atmosphere lasted for a while before Meng Zhang reacted. He invited An Xiaoran to sit down in the room and prepared to have a good talk with her.
When something like this happened to the An family, Meng Zhang thought of An Lei's kindness, and if he could help, he would never hesitate.
After the two sat down, Meng Zhang asked: "After the An family incident happened, did no one in your family ask for help from the Feihong Sect?"
Now that it was confirmed that An Xiaoran was indeed An Lei's descendant and was not lying, Meng Zhang stopped reading her mind.
As a grown man, it's a bit embarrassing to always read little girls' thoughts. Moreover, Meng Zhang must also maintain some respect for his old friend.
"Zeng Jiexiong's younger brother Zeng Jiantang has a high status in the Feihong Sect. With his protection, Zeng Jiexiong doesn't have to worry about the Feihong Sect's interference."
"Furthermore, as long as it doesn't go too far, the Feihong Sect will not take the initiative to interfere in the internal affairs of the vassal family."
"Through Zeng Jiantang's relationship, Zeng Jiexiong has already taken care of the relevant monks of the Feihong Sect. It is difficult to leak what happened within the An family. Even if it is leaked, it will be without evidence."
An Xiaoran is not very old, but he speaks very logically and clearly explains the pros and cons of various things.
"Master Meng, can you tell me about your Taiyi Sect?" An Xiaoran made a request.
Anyway, now that he had time, Meng Zhang told An Xiaoran everything about the Taiyi Sect, including the non-confidential parts.
In the meantime, An Xiaoran also asked a lot of questions about the internal situation of Taiyi Sect and the situation around Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang didn't expect that a little girl like An Xiaoran would look like an adult. The questions raised all fit the key points.
Meng Zhang talked for a long time before finally coming to an end.
After listening to Meng Zhang's story, An Xiaoran was silent for a long time.
She looked like she was thinking about something, and Meng Zhang didn't rush her.
After a long time, An Xiaoran stood up and said very seriously: "Master Meng, for the sake of my grandfather, can I make a request?"
"You can just say, as long as I can do it, I will do it without any hesitation." Meng Zhang said equally solemnly. He did not look down on others or deal with them just because they were a little girl.
"Master Meng, I want to live with my brother in the Taiyi Sect. Master Meng, can you take us in?" An Xiaoran made a solemn request.
"There's no problem, it's just a trivial matter." Meng Zhang agreed to An Xiaoran's request.
"By the way, can I ask what you are asking? Are you unhappy living here, are you being bullied by someone? Of course, if you don't want to answer, that's okay." Meng Zhang asked casually.
An Xiaoran was silent for a moment before answering.
"I once heard my grandpa say that Master Meng is a good man who values love and justice. For the sake of the sect's favor, he would not hesitate to give up the opportunity to go further and join the An family."
"Master Meng, can I trust you?"
The little girl asked this, what else could Meng Zhang say.
Although he has been living in the world of cultivation for so many years, where the jungle prevails. Meng Zhang often engages in intrigues and deceptions at the end of the term. But essentially, Meng Zhang is still a good person. At least at this moment, Meng Zhang was sincere as never before.
"Don't worry. Even if it's not for your grandfather's sake, I won't deceive a little girl like you. Although I, Meng, am not talented, I still need this face."
After receiving Meng Zhang's promise, An Xiaoran revealed the real reason.
It turned out that when An was staying at home, because he was too young and no one was too cautious, An Xiaoran accidentally discovered that Zeng Jiexiong's men were colluding with some bandits.
This time, the White Sand Pirates suddenly broke into the Guixiang Oasis. An Xiaoran was keenly aware that this might be due to Zeng Jiexiong's instruction. The ultimate goal is himself and his brother An Moran.
As for why Zeng Jiexiong wanted to capture the two siblings, An Xiaoran didn't say much.
Even if An Xiaoran didn't say it, Meng Zhang could guess it.
An Lei probably made arrangements before he died. The An family siblings must have something Zeng Jiexiong wanted. It's nothing more than settling down to hide treasure.
Meng Zhang is not greedy for these things. Meng Zhang couldn't do such a thing as coveting the little girl's belongings.
Meng Zhang really didn't expect that Zeng Jiexiong would secretly collude with bandits like the Baisha Bandits.
But think about it, without the cooperation of local families, how could these bandits have been able to run rampant for so long and have such good information?
The reason why An Xiaoran didn't take the initiative to expose this matter was because he knew that the people of Feihong Sect would not easily believe the empty talk without any basis.
Moreover, she is a little girl who speaks softly, and most likely no one will pay attention to what she says.
"This time the Baisha Bandits raided the Guixiang Oasis, Grandpa Huang was implicated by our siblings. If Master Meng hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"We, my siblings, can no longer stay here, so we are ready to take refuge with Master Meng."
Seeing An Xiaoran talking freely and acting like a young adult, Meng Zhang suddenly started laughing.
"Why, aren't you afraid that I will be implicated or that the gang of bandits will kill Taiyi Sect?"
"That's different. Taiyi Sect has three foundation-building monks, and Master Meng is also a master in the middle-stage foundation-building period. Neither Zeng Jiexiong nor the gang of bandits are any match for Taiyi Sect."
"Also, Taiyi Sect is a vassal of Lin Quanguan, and Lin Quanguan and Feihong Sect are not the same people. Zeng Jiexiong wants to use the power of Feihong Sect to oppress Taiyi Sect through his brother Zeng Jiantang's relationship, and it is unlikely to succeed."
An Xiaoran is not very old, but he thinks about things very clearly and thoughtfully.
Meng Zhang couldn't help but look at An Xiaoran with his False-Destroying Eyes.
At this glance, Meng Zhang was stunned for a moment, secretly exclaiming that he had found a treasure.
Although he did not use a soul measuring board to measure carefully, Meng Zhang was certain that An Xiaoran's spiritual talent was extremely good, almost not inferior to that of his eldest disciple Niu Dawei.
Not to mention An Lei's affection, Meng Zhang would not let An Xiaoran off easily and would take her into his family just because of An Xiaoran's qualifications.
Such talent and beauty are rare to see in a hundred years, but he met him just like that.
If God doesn’t take what he wants, he will take the blame.
Although An Xiaoran didn't say that he wanted to join the Taiyi Sect, he just wanted to take refuge in the Taiyi Sect, so he asked Meng Zhang to take him in.
But Meng Zhang believed that when he returned to Taiyi Sect, he would find a way to deceive him. No, he should persuade An Xiaoran to join Taiyi Sect.
"Don't worry, I will protect you and your brother even if I risk my life. As long as you get to Taiyi Sect, even the King of Heaven will never take you away from Taiyi Sect."
Meng Zhang made his promise extremely seriously.
