People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 89 Gathering at the Xiao Family (23)

"Gu Ni, please go down first and ask Ya Fei to clean up the two guest rooms. There is no need to ask the people from Yun Lan Sect."

After a brief acquaintance, Tengshan looked at Gu Ni and gave instructions.

When discussing serious matters, the fewer people present, the better.

Gu Ni nodded, bowed and left.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong spoke.

"When I came in just now, I heard you were keeping an eye on the Yunlan Sect's team. Coincidentally, Tengshan and I saw them on our way here. At their speed, they should be able to reach Wutan City in an hour at most. But I'm a little confused. When did you become involved with the Yunlan Sect?"

Obviously, Hai Bodong had misunderstood and thought that the people from Yunlan Sect also came for Chen Xiao.

"Old Hai is mistaken. They didn't come here for me. I heard some gossip that the one from the Nalan family seems to be very resistant to the engagement with the Xiao family and is thinking of breaking off the engagement. This trip to Wutan City must be about this matter."

Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled.

After hearing this, Hai Bodong and Tengshan suddenly understood.

Although they are in the imperial capital, they usually don't pay much attention to the private affairs of the younger generation.

"I do think I saw the little girl from the Nalan family in the team, Tengshan, am I seeing things right?"

Tengshan shook his head to indicate that he was not mistaken.

Immediately, there was another sigh.

"I suddenly remembered that a few years ago when Mr. Nalan Jie was in Mocheng, he boasted to us about this marriage. Life is unpredictable. This old man cares a lot about his reputation. I'm afraid breaking off the engagement wasn't his idea. Oh, Chen Xiao, you probably don't know, but Mr. Nalan Jie's current situation is not good. He was poisoned by a brand because of a Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva. If he can't detoxify, even if he is a Dou Wang powerhouse, he probably won't be able to survive for many more years."

"It's really unpredictable."

Chen Xiao seemed to be really unaware and followed suit with sighs.

In fact, my heart is as clear as a mirror.

The fact that Nalan Jie was branded with poison actually has something in common with the fact that Hai Bodong was sealed with the snake curse in their original trajectory.

They are all quite funny!
Nalan Jie was poisoned by the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, but was finally detoxified by paying the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva.

In order to fight for the incomplete map, Hai Bodong was sealed by Queen Medusa, and was finally able to break the seal because of this incomplete map.

These two people worked in vain. They got nothing in return except years of torture. When you think about it carefully, it makes people laugh.

Back to the topic, since Nalan Yanran is already on the way, Chen Xiao is even more certain that Yao Chen is about to appear.

"Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva? It made Dou Wang fight so hard, it seems to be a good thing."

Zi Yan, who had been silent all this time, finally heard something that interested her and suddenly interrupted.

Looking at her eyes rolling around, Chen Xiao couldn't help but know what she was thinking.

"Generally speaking, the value of the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva lies mainly in its nourishment and enhancement of the soul. In terms of the energy it contains alone, many of the ones you have hidden away can surpass it."

If Nalan Jie was also in Wutan City, Chen Xiao could find a way to get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva. This thing is still useful.

But Nalan Jie is far away in the imperial capital, so it’s not worth wasting energy on him.

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Zi Yan let out a soft "oh" and her expression showed a little disappointment.

"Miss Zi Yan, do you like medicinal herbs? That's easy. Teng Shan, let's ask headquarters to pick out some good ones and send them over. We're the host, so we must make sure Miss Zi Yan enjoys the food and has fun."

Seeing Zi Yan's preference, Hai Bodong spoke out.

Chen Xiao’s friend, a man whose star level is unknown, but it is certain that he is definitely a Dou Wang strongman. Regardless of his identity, he deserves to be treated well.

After all, this is also an investment.

Tengshan nodded with a smile.

Speaking of this, Zi Yan immediately became excited, her eyes sparkled, and she felt that the two old men were much more pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, don't call me girl, it doesn't sound nice. Just call me by my name. Since you are Chen Xiao's friends, you are also my Zi Yan's friends!"

Zi Yan expressed her opinion in a proper manner because she was grateful for the favor she received.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong and Tengshan smiled back, but looked at each other in surprise.

Zi Yan's strength made them think at first that her appearance might just be an appearance. After all, such a young Dou Wang powerhouse was too terrifying.

But now I see...

It seems like he still has the mentality of a child?
What kind of talent is this, it’s so terrifying!

"Janaan College is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I am becoming more and more curious about this college. When the next Canaan admissions team arrives, the Mittel family will also select a few suitable students to send in."

Chen Xiao's growth rate, coupled with Zi Yan, instantly caused Hai Bodong and Tengshan to have a strong deviation in their understanding of Canaan Academy. They felt that they might have greatly underestimated this academy. If they sent some people in for further studies, even if they could not compare with Chen Xiao and Zi Yan, they would at least have Dou Ling after graduation, right?
"If Chief Tengshan is interested, he should select more people with fire attributes. They will benefit the most from the academy. People with ice attributes like me would be insignificant there. In fact, I have spent most of my time in the Black Horn Region in the past few years."

Chen Xiao also made a small suggestion.

As for whether to listen or not...

That has nothing to do with him.

Tengshan nodded and took note of it.

Hai Bodong is more concerned about the Black Horn Region.

"I heard about the Black Horn Region when I participated in the Northwest Powerful People Conference. Back then, I thought I would definitely go there and explore it if I had the chance. This is a small regret of mine."

...

Chen Xiao and his friends were happily reminiscing about the past at the Mitel Auction House, while the Xiao family on the other side was extremely busy.

As soon as the younger generation finished the test, Xiao Zhan received a piece of news.

People from the Yunlan Sect will come to visit you in the evening!

There is no need to say much about the strength of the Yunlan Sect. Everyone in the Jiama Empire knows it.

Therefore, although Xiao Zhan was confused, he took it very seriously. After arranging everything, he even found Xiao Yan to explain the situation and asked him not to be rude. At the same time, he also naively imagined that if the distinguished guests from the Yunlan Sect saw Xiao Yan's condition, they would be able to understand the reason and give him some advice based on their knowledge.

at night.

The Xiao family's house was brightly lit.

In the spacious reception hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were all present, as were some powerful and influential members of the family. There were also quite a few curious young people. Looking around, there were crowds of people, all whispering and discussing the distinguished guests who were about to arrive.

Finally, as they expected, Butler Mo came in with a man, a woman and an old man.

All three of them were wearing moon-white robes.

The old man in the lead had a smiling face and looked energetic. His small eyes occasionally flashed with brilliance. On the chest of his robe, there was a silver crescent moon painted, and around the moon were seven golden stars.

This means that he is a seven-star master!

The young man on the right behind him looked to be about twenty years old, handsome and tall. From the five golden stars on his chest, it could be seen that he was a five-star fighter.

The girl on the left behind the old man was a little younger and more beautiful. As soon as she stepped into the reception hall, she made the girls of the Xiao family feel ashamed.

Not only because of her looks, but also because of her strength. There are three golden stars painted on the girl's chest.

Three-star fighter!
"Three distinguished guests have come from afar. Please take a seat. Butler Mo, bring the best tea."

Xiao Zhan forced a warm smile and stood up to greet them personally, and the three elders did the same.

Judging from this moment, it seems like a harmonious atmosphere.

The three people from the Yunlan Sect sat down, and the conversation was very lively amid Xiao Zhan's intentional or unintentional flattery.

However, the old man from the Yunlan Sect seemed to have something difficult to say. Whenever the words came to his mouth, he would swallow them back helplessly. And every time this happened, the beautiful girl could not help but glare at the old man.

In this atmosphere, tonight's protagonist, Xiao Yan, finally arrived.

Probably because the Xiao family had developed well in the past few years, the three elders had grown up a little bit. So they did not embarrass Xiao Yan in front of the guests from the Yunlan Sect tonight and left a vacant seat for him.

"Father, the three elders."

"Well, Yan'er, please sit down first."

Xiao Zhan chuckled and said this, then turned around and continued chatting with the three guests.

Opposite Xiao Yan, the pretty girl became even more impatient when she saw that the main character had arrived, and kept urging him with her eyes.

Seeing this, the old man could only cough lightly, then stood up, bowed to Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly because I have something to ask for!"

"Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have anything to say. If it's within our ability, the Xiao family won't refuse."

Xiao Zhan didn't dare to be negligent and quickly stood up and replied.

However, he was still cautious and did not dare to speak too confidently.

After all, these are people from the Yunlan Sect. Given their status, what they are asking for is probably not simple.

The old man called Ge Ye smiled slightly, not caring at all. He pointed at the girl next to him and asked with a smile.

"Chief Xiao, do you still recognize her?"

Only then did Xiao Zhan dare to look at the girl and looked at her carefully. Just as he was about to answer with a puzzled look, he saw Butler Mo hurried in.

"Chief, the chief of the Miter family is here."

He absolutely didn't dare to stop him, so Butler Mo could only speed up his pace and come over to inform Xiao Zhan in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the reception hall saw four figures walking in.

Another wave of distinguished guests stunned the Xiao family members. Even Xiao Yan, who was in a bad mood, looked up in a daze.

Then, he saw a very familiar-looking young man, as handsome as the dawn of the 1990s, chatting and laughing with an old man in a blue robe.

On both sides of these two people, there is a relatively younger old man and a cute girl in a white dress who is eating.

Xiao Yan also noticed that the girl seemed to have some saliva on her hands, and she habitually wiped it on the sleeve of the boy next to her. The boy seemed to have experienced this kind of action countless times. Without even turning his head, he reached out and grabbed the mischievous little hand, invisibly preventing a crisis.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan found it quite interesting. He immediately shifted his gaze and looked at the chests of the four people, but found that they did not have any badges on their chests that represented their strength.

The strength is unknown, but very strong!
As he was looking around, the three people from the Yunlan Sect who were sitting opposite him stood up one after another.

"Greetings to the Ice Emperor, Chief Tengshan..."

They also noticed Chen Xiao and Zi Yan, but they didn't know them, so they simply kept silent to avoid making any mistakes.

Hai Bodong smiled and said, "Haha, you guys go about your business. Tengshan and I just arrived in Wutan City today. We just heard that Nalan's niece had come to the Xiao family, so we just stopped by to see her. Patriarch Xiao, do you mind if the four of us have a cup of tea?"

"It's my great honor, my great honor!"

Xiao Zhan smiled and gave a look, and the four Xiao family members sitting in the front seats immediately stood up and gave up their seats.

Ice King!

Just hearing this name, Xiao Zhan was shocked, how could he dare to refuse.

Hai Bodong came purely to watch the fun and was too lazy to communicate too much with Xiao Zhan, so he gave the first seat to Teng Shan and sat in the middle with Chen Xiao.

As for Chen Xiao, Zi Yan was on his right at this time.

Then, it was Xiao Yan.

Chen Xiao was also quite helpless. Although he really wanted to see the excitement, he had not originally planned to come. Who knew that when they were reminiscing about the past, Ya Fei suddenly came in to report that people from the Yunlan Sect had entered the Xiao family.

After knowing the purpose of Nalan Yanran's visit, Hai Bodong asked if she wanted to join in the fun, and then the current situation happened.

Although it was slightly different from the plan, Chen Xiao didn't care too much. He left the Xiao family and now came back to take a look. In the eyes of others, it was no big deal.

As for Yaochen...

This old man has been torturing Xiao Yan for three years. There is no reason for him to change the original plan just because a few strong men came from Wutan City.

After all, if the torture of Xiao Yan is not stopped and Xiao Yan continues to waste time, he will miss the golden age of cultivation.

Sitting in the main seat, Xiao Zhan felt a little uneasy.

On his left was a distinguished guest from the Yunlan Sect, and on his right was the patriarch of the Mitel family. Any one of these people was more noble than him, but he happened to sit in the main seat. He felt that every extra minute he sat there was an extra minute of disrespect.

Seeing that the people from the Mitel family seemed to be fine, Xiao Zhan turned to face Ge Ye.

"Mr. Geye, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Glancing at the four people opposite him, Ge Ye didn't dare to keep the secret any longer and immediately got straight to the point:

"Patriarch Xiao, what I'm requesting today is related to her. Her name is Nalan Yanran. I'm here today because the Sect Master learned of her engagement with the Xiao family and asked for Yanran's opinion. He personally ordered me here to ask Patriarch Xiao to... cancel the engagement."

As soon as the words fell, you could hear a pin drop in the reception hall.

Many eyes turned towards Xiao Yan, and then turned to Nalan Yanran. Many members of the Xiao family actually nodded silently.

This piece of trash, it seems, is indeed unworthy of me...

Chen Xiao and Xiao Yan were sitting very close to each other, and he could even hear the faint creaking sounds of Xiao Yan's joints as he clenched his fists in his sleeves.

"We're already at our lowest point, why hesitate? Every step forward is progress. The worst that can happen is death."

Zi Yan, who was busy fiddling with the medicine bottle, raised her head and looked at Chen Xiao. Seeing that he was not talking to her, she buried her head again.

But at this moment...

"Oh!"

A teacup slammed onto the table and shattered into pieces.

The loud noise startled Zi Yan, who had just lowered her head, and she immediately looked at Xiao Yan beside her with anger and a bad look.

Just when Xiao Ziyan was about to explode, Chen Xiao was quick to hold her down and watched Xiao Yan's back as he stood up and walked forward with blood flowing from his right hand.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about this later."
