I have a booster

Chapter 136 The Retirement Begins
Xiao Bai returned to his previous residence.

The whole house and rooms had obviously been freshly cleaned.

Xiao Bai didn't care about this either, as long as he was clean and able to sleep, everything else was just floating clouds.

The next day, not long after dawn, Hai Bodong was waiting outside.

"Old Hai, what's the matter with you coming so early?" Xiao Bai covered his mouth with his hands, yawned and asked in confusion.

"My lord Pope, you forgot that patriarch Xiao told us to go to the reception hall early today, saying that there are important guests coming, and told us not to be late."

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Xiao Bai nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Okay, Mr. Hai, just wait for me here, I'll go and change my clothes, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Yes, His Holiness the Pope."

Just as Xiao Bai stepped into the room, his right foot stopped, he turned to Hai Bodong and said, "By the way, don't call me Pope in Xiao's house, you can call me... Young Master."

"Okay, teach... Young Master!"

Hearing Hai Bodong call him son, Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction, then walked into the room, closed the door and changed his clothes.

When Xiao Bai came to the reception hall, it was already full of people, it looked like some kind of conference was about to be held.

The young people had already sat down under the arrangement of the elders of the family. After the elders left, they began to look around again, and more often their eyes would stay in front of them.

Following the eyes of these people, Xiao Bai saw three strangers, two men and one woman, all wearing white brocade robes.

Xiao Bai knew, as expected, these three people were from the Misty Cloud Sect.

The men are divided into one old and one young. The older man is around 40 years old. If the plot has not changed, he should be called Ge Ye.

The young man is about 20 years old, his name is unknown, in Xiao Bai's view, he is just a small utility man who runs errands, this person is not important.

As for the girl who is only 15 years old, that should be the protagonist of this incident, Nalan Yanran.

Because of Xiao Bai's late arrival, he only saw the side view, but couldn't see the front view.

Even so, Xiao Bai can be sure that this is definitely a beauty, and it should not be weaker than a trick.

Xiao Bai's arrival also attracted everyone's attention.

It's like cooking a pot of soup, and suddenly a mouse dropping in, how can it not attract people's attention?
The young people of the Xiao family who were sitting down in distress all cast their eyes on him, and they were a little puzzled: "Who is this, why does he look familiar?"

"Do you look familiar? Me too, I always feel like I should have seen him somewhere before..."

The people below were talking about it.

The elders sitting in their seats and the three Yunlan sect visitors also turned their gazes over.

Ge Ye cupped his hands and said to Xiao Zhan who was not far away: "Patriarch Xiao, could this be the third son of your family, he is really a man of talent!"

The young man in white and the young girl also stopped their eyes on Xiao Bai, a trace of jealousy flashed in the young man's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Bai viciously.

Nalan Yanran glanced at Xiao Bai, and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect "Xiao Yan" to be such a handsome young man, but she turned her head back very quickly, without taking another look. .

She sighed secretly in her heart: "Unfortunately, it turned out to be a practice trash..."

Facing everyone's strange gazes, Xiao Bai did not change his face. He walked to the center of the hall without haste and bowed his hands to the patriarch and others one by one.

"I have met the patriarch and all the elders here!"

The sitting elders all looked at Xiao Bai standing below with puzzled eyes, and whispered.

"Who is this young man? I feel like I've seen him somewhere?"

"Does our Xiao family have such a person?"

"he is?"

……

In fact, I don't blame these elders, it's because Xiao Bai has changed too much after going out for so long, it's completely different from his previous appearance, especially his current temperament.

In the past, he was a little immature and lively, but now Xiao Bai standing in front of them is calm and stable, his eyes are also full of confidence.

Although he was standing below, he didn't show timidity at all, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was a sense of oppression on his body. It was a kind of power that only a person standing above ten thousand people would have, which elders like them didn't have.

These elders were strange, Xiao Zhan would not be surprised, he smiled and nodded slightly to Xiao Bai.

"Come on, just find a seat and sit down."

"Thank you patriarch!"

After thanking the patriarch, Xiao Bai found a place to sit down on his own, and Hai Bodong quietly walked behind Xiao Bai and stood there, closing his eyes and not hearing anything.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Bai, then at Hai Bodong standing behind Xiao Bai in a strange way, he didn't say much.

Looking around, seeing that everyone's eyes kept moving back and forth between himself and Xiao Bai, he coughed lightly and said, "Since Xiao Bai has already come, then my son, Xiao Yan, is the only one who is missing now. Why? Still not here?"

With Xiao Zhan's words, he not only told everyone the identity of the boy just now, but also asked about Xiao Yan's situation.

Knowing that they were wrong, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran also froze, a little embarrassed.

"Father, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Not long after Xiao Zhan's questioning, before everyone could react to the news that Xiao Bai had returned, another boy in black walked in.

"Yan'er, hurry up and meet the distinguished guest from the Misty Cloud Sect!"

"Boy Xiao Yan has seen all the distinguished guests."

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, the young couple who were engaged to be married, formally met here and at this moment.

Then the plot began, although because of Xiao Bai's reasons, Xiao Yan had a fifth level of fighting spirit at this time, but the result was the same.

……

"Patriarch Xiao, as you know, Yan Ran has joined the Misty Cloud Sect and has become the suzerain's disciple. The suzerain loves her very much and has high expectations for her... He even trains her as the next suzerain..."

Ge Ye paused, embarrassment appeared on his old face again, but when he thought of the purpose of coming this time, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to bite the bullet, he said: "Our Yunlan Sect has strict rules, because some For special reasons, the young suzerain cannot have anything to do with men before becoming the official suzerain..."

Looking at Xiao Zhan next to him with a gloomy face, Ge Ye opened the skylight and said bluntly: "The suzerain is deeply dissatisfied when he learns that the young suzerain still has a marriage contract before entering, so... so the suzerain hopes Patriarch Xiao thinks about it and promises to dissolve the engagement."

"Crack!" The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand was crushed and turned into a handful of powder in his hand.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the side, also had an extremely gloomy expression. He clenched the palm under the sleeve robe, his nails deeply inserted into the palm, and blood dripped down between his fingers, but there was no reaction.

There was a gloomy look in his dark eyes, and he looked at the three of Yun Lanzong with unkindness and anger.

At this moment, the hall was quiet, and the atmosphere became depressing.
