Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 376 One Way to Darkness

"Uh..." Seen by Long Aotian's teasing eyes, Ling Lan couldn't help but have black lines all over her head.

"Mr. Xiao, you have misunderstood. He is not—"

Unexpectedly, Ling Lan was interrupted by Xiao Che before she finished speaking.

"I know, this is Mr. Rong Jin!" Xiao Che seemed very unwilling to talk about Si Rongyu with Ling Lan.

He made a gesture of "please", warmly inviting Ling Lan to Xiao's house as a guest.

"Miss Ling, it's also a kind of fate that we met by chance, why don't you go to Xiao's house and have a cup of hot tea?"

Xiao Che smiled eagerly, looking very much looking forward to it.

Little did he know that his invitation fell into Ling Lan's arms.

Ling Lan was worried, she didn't know how to enter Xiao's house to borrow classics, but she didn't want Xiao Che to come to her door, Ling Lan couldn't wish for it!

"Since Mr. Xiao invited you kindly, the younger generation should be respectful rather than obedient."

Ling Lan looked back at Long Aotian and motioned him to follow quickly.

Xiao Che saw the small movements between the two, and his expression was filled with disdain.But this dissatisfaction is only directed at Long Aotian, not Ling Lan.

Ling Lan could also see Xiao Che's hostility.Ling Lan felt very guilty for involving Long Aotian in this matter for no reason.

"Mr. Xiao, this is just my friend, not—" Ling Lan spoke again, trying to explain Long Aotian's identity to Xiao Che.

But Xiao Che refused to listen, he interrupted Ling Lan again.

"Miss Ling, you don't need to say anything! I understand everything."

Xiao Che said "understand", but he looked at Long Aotian clearly and somewhat unkindly.

That look seemed to say, it's not shameful for a big man to rely on a woman to protect him.

Seeing that Xiao Che didn't listen to her explanation at all, and instead made the matter more and more black, Ling Lan simply closed her mouth.

Feeling helpless, she cast an apologetic look at Long Aotian who was implicated.

In just a few words, the three of them had arrived at the gate of Xiao's house.

This time, because of Xiao Che's leadership, instead of stopping Ling Lan and Long Aotian, the gatekeeper welcomed them in respectfully.

Ling Lan couldn't help sighing in her heart, with Xiao Che around, the treatment was indeed different.

The vermilion gate slowly opened to both sides, and a screen wall carved with auspicious patterns stood in the middle.

The scenery in the courtyard was blocked by the screen wall, and only a corner could be seen vaguely.

As soon as he walked around the screen wall, he saw a fat middle-aged man coming up to meet him. When he saw Xiao Che, he respectfully saluted and greeted him.

"Master is back." This person is the housekeeper of Xiao Mansion.

When he saw Ling Lan who was half a step behind Xiao Che, the housekeeper's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but cast a questioning look at his master.

Seeing Xiao Che's calm nod, the housekeeper's eyes were not only a little bright, they were almost glowing.

"This is Miss Linglan, right? She must be tired after a long journey. This old slave will make tea for you."

The butler's chubby round face actually showed a lot of creases, laughing so much that Ling Lan's heart shuddered, he looked at Xiao Che uneasily, and then at the butler.

How is this going?Why are one or two members of the Xiao family so enthusiastic? !
Seeing Ling Lan like this, the housekeeper thought she was shy, and the smile on her face widened a bit.

Walking all the way from the door to the main hall, Ling Lan noticed something - almost all the servants of the Xiao family recognized her!
No matter men, women, young or old, when they saw her, there were gratified smiles on their faces, as if a big stone had finally landed in their hearts.

And when they looked at Long Aotian, their eyes completely changed, as if Long Aotian was their rival in love...

This is not normal, is it? !She's not a celebrity... Could it be because of Xiao Xu?

Thinking of this, Ling Lan suddenly felt that the whole person was not well.

What will it take for Xiao Che and the Xiao family to believe that she and Xiao Xu are not in that kind of relationship, and Long Aotian is not Si Rongyu?
When they arrived at the hall where the guests were received, and they sat down separately, Ling Lan had the opportunity to ask about Xiao Xu's recent situation.

Since entering the Wuluo Treasure Land by mistake, Ling Lan has never seen Xiao Xu, and naturally there is no way to know the news about Xiao Xu.

I don't know how that guy is doing recently?Have you improved?

Hearing Ling Lan's initiative to ask Xiao Xu, Xiao Che showed a gratified smile.Seeing that Ling Lan cared about Xiao Xu, Xiao Che naturally thought that Ling Lan didn't have any intentions for his son.

"That brat, when the secret realm was opened again, he was sent to a fourth-class country to practice. Some time ago, I received news from him, saying that the fourth-class country's aura is thin and supplies are scarce, so I don't want to stay... "

When it comes to his precious son, Xiao Che seems to have endless words.

Although his tone was full of disgust, but judging from his expression, he was clearly proud and proud.

Most parents in the world are like this, with a sincere heart for their children.No matter what outsiders think, in their own eyes, their own children are always the best.

Hearing Xiao Che's disdain when he mentioned the fourth-class countries, Ling Lan finally understood why Xiao Xu carried so many treasures on him.

Before he had time to think about it, Xiao Che started talking again.

"Speaking of my unworthy son, I would also like to thank Miss Ling. If it wasn't for Miss Ling, I'm afraid that brat is still an ignorant dude."

Ling Lan couldn't help but feel ashamed, how could she have made such a big contribution?If it wasn't for Xiao Xu's willingness to learn and make progress, how could there be growth and progress?

"Mr. Xiao, you are serious. Ling Lan dare not take credit for this."

"Ah! Miss Ling, don't be modest! If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do with that kid..."

Xiao Che was still babbling on and on, repeating the meanings over and over again.

"Before he was ignorant, he only knew how to fight cocks and run dogs all day long, and he didn't seek to make progress at all. As a father, I have broken my heart because of his unworthy son!"

"At first, I thought that this kid's temper was crooked, and he wouldn't be able to change it without decades of tossing around. Unexpectedly, after he met you, he seemed to be a different person."

"Miss Ling, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid that kid is still on the wrong path now!"

Ling Lan sat at the side, drinking tea non-stop to hide her embarrassment.

Long Ao has nothing to do with the sky, and he looks like he is watching the show.

After talking for a long time, Xiao Che finally felt a little thirsty, so he took a few sips from his teacup.

Just when Ling Lan thought he had finally finished speaking, Xiao Che spoke again.This time, he made no secret of his purpose and directly acted as a lobbyist for Xiao Xu.

"Miss Ling, although my boy is stupid, his heart is sincere and fiery. He treats people extremely sincerely, and if he decides on someone, he will go all the way to darkness."
