"Cough." The old man in white robes coughed lightly, stood up and bowed to Xiao Zhan with a smile: "Xiao Clan Leader, this time I came to your esteemed family mainly to ask for something!"

  "Heh heh, Mr. Ge Ye, please speak freely if theres something on your mind. If its within our power, the Xiao family shouldnt refuse." Towards this elderly man, Xiao Zhan didnt dare to be negligent and hastily stood up to show his respect, but since he didnt know what the other party wanted, he also didnt dare to promise too much.

  "Heh heh, Xiao Zu Chang, do you know her?" Ge Ye smiled slightly and asked with a smile, pointing to the girl beside him.

  "Uh... excuse me, Miss Xiao Zhans eyes are not good at this. This young lady..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was taken aback, looked the girl up and down, and shook his head slightly with some embarrassment.

  At that time, Nalan Yanran was taken as a disciple by Yunyun at the age of ten and had been cultivating in Yunlan Sect for five years. As the saying goes, "a girl changes eighteen times when she grows up", it has been many years since they last met, so Xiao Zhan naturally did not recognize that the young girl in front of him was his nominal daughter-in-law.

  "Cough... Her name is Nalan Yanran."

  "Is that Nalan Yanran? Grandmaster Nalans granddaughter, Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Zhan was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with great joy. He must have remembered something from back then. Immediately, he revealed a warm smile to the young girl: "So its Nalan niece, Uncle Xiao hasnt seen you in many years, dont blame Uncle for being nearsighted."

  The sudden scene made everyone slightly stunned. The three elders looked at each other, their eyebrows furrowed...

  "Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to visit before, its her fault, but I dont dare blame Uncle Xiao." Nalan said with a sweet smile.

  "Haha, Nalan niece, Ive heard before that you were taken in by Yunyun, but at the time, I thought it was just a rumor. Who would have thought it was true? You really are talented, niece..." Xiao Zhan praised with a smile.

  "Its just good luck..." Yanran smiled lightly, and couldnt quite handle Xiao Zhans enthusiasm. Under the table, her palm gently tugged on Ge Ye who was beside her.

  "Heh heh, Xiao Zu Chang, what Im going to ask for today is related to Yan Ran, and this matter was personally brought up by the Sect Master..." Ge Ye chuckled lightly, her expression turning slightly solemn when mentioning the two words "Sect Master".

  His complexion changed slightly, and Xiao Zhan also restrained his smile. Yunyun, the master of the Cloud Ridge Sect, was a big shot in the Ga Ma Empire. As the young head of this small family, he couldnt afford to offend her at all. With her strength and power, what could she possibly need the Xiao familys help with? Ge Ye said it had something to do with Nalans niece...

  At the thought of a certain possibility, Xiao Zhans mouth twitched uncontrollably for a few moments, and his massive palm trembled slightly. Fortunately, it was hidden by his sleeves, so no one noticed. Forcing down the anger in his heart, his voice trembling slightly, he said in a low tone: "Mr. Ge Ye, please speak!"

  "Ah..." Ge Yes face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, but remembering the Sect Masters doting on Nalan Yanran, she could only grit her teeth and smile: "Elder Xiao, you also know that Yunlan Sect is very strict, and the Sect Master has high expectations for Yanran. Shes basically being groomed as the next Sect Master... due to some special rules, the successor cannot have entanglements with men before becoming the official Sect Master..."

  "The Patriarch inquired about Yanran and found out that she still had a marriage arrangement with the Xiao family, so... the Patriarch wanted to ask the Xiao Clans leader if he could dissolve this engagement."

  "Crack!" The jade stone cup in Xiao Zhans hand suddenly turned into a puff of pink powder.

  In the hall, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet, and the three elders above were also shocked by Ge Yes words. However, after a moment, their gaze towards Xiao Zhan had an additional hint of mockery and ridicule.

  "Humph! Being forced to break off an engagement by someone who came to our doorstep, look at you, the head of this clan, what authority do you have left to manage the family?"

  Some young boys and girls did not know about Xiao Yans engagement to Nalan Fenger, but after asking their parents beside them, their faces suddenly became colorful, and sarcastic gazes were cast towards Xiao Yan in the corner...

  Looking at Xiao Zhans extremely gloomy face, Nalan Yanran also didnt dare to raise her head, burying it instead, with her fingers tightly clenched together.

  "Xiao Zu Chang, I know this is a bit of an unreasonable request, but please consider the face of our clan leader and dissolve the engagement..." Ge Ye sighed helplessly and said faintly.

  Xiao Zhans fists were clenched, a faint blue aura gradually covered his body, and finally a vague lion head gathered on his face.

  Looking at Xiao Zhans reflection, Ge Yes face also became solemn, her body blocking Nalan Yanran in front of her, her eagle-like hands suddenly curled up, and the cyan energy gathered in her eagle claws, emitting a fine and fierce sword aura.

  As the two mens auras burst forth, the weaker boys in the hall suddenly turned pale, and their chests felt somewhat stifled.

  Just as Xiao Zhans breathing became more urgent, the three elders stern voices were like thunder in the great hall: "Xiao Zhan, stop at once! Dont forget that you are the head of the Xiao family!"

  His body stiffened suddenly, and the fighting spirit on his body slowly converged and finally disappeared completely.

  He plopped down in the chair, his face pale and listless as he gazed at Nalan Yanran, who was hanging her head in silence. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Nalan niece, you have great talent! Nalan Su having a daughter like you is truly enviable!"

  Her slender body trembled slightly, and Nalan said softly: "Uncle Xiao..."

  "Hehe, just call me Xiao Zu Chang, Uncle is a title I dont deserve. You are the future master of Yunlan Sect and will also be a prominent figure in the Dou Qi Continent. My Flame is only an ordinary talent and indeed not worthy of you..." Xiao Zhan said with a cold tone, waving his hand lightly.

  "Thank you, Chief Xiao, for your understanding." Upon hearing this, Ge Ye was overjoyed and smiled apologetically at Xiao Zhan, saying: "Chief Xiao, the Master knows that todays request is somewhat impolite, so he specially instructed me to bring something as a gift, consider it an apology!"

  As she spoke, Ge Ye stretched out her hand and wiped the ring on her finger. A pale green ancient jade box suddenly appeared in her hand...

  Carefully opening the box, a fragrance suddenly filled the hall, and everyone who smelled it felt refreshed.

  Three elderly men curiously stretched their heads and looked inside the jade box. Their bodies suddenly shook violently, and they exclaimed in surprise: "The aura has dissipated?"

  "Some brothers said that the new book and Sword Saint have some similarities at the beginning, uh, potato explains that the waste of Sword Saint is fundamentally unable to cultivate magic and Dou Qi, while the waste of the new book Xiao Yan is due to other reasons. In short, Xiao Yan is not a waste material, but a young man with cultivation talent. The next few chapters will reveal the truth! Thank you. Also, seeking collection and recommendation votes ^－^"
