Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Upon hearing this...

Xiao Yan was taken aback, then shook his head in denial.

He, a transmigrator, didn't know anyone from the Yunlan Sect. The Yunlan Sect was a dominant sect in the Jia Ma Empire, and it was not something a fallen genius like him could have the right to associate with.

"Xiao Yanzi, do you know what that girl's name is?"

Dong Qing glanced indifferently at the delicate young woman opposite him, who was glaring at Xiao Xun'er to his right, while Xiao Yan sat to his left.

"Uncle Dongqing, if you have no woman in your heart, you will naturally be a god when you draw your sword. Don't talk to me about these things, and don't call me Xiao Yanzi. In our China... Xiao family, these three words are not a good word."

Xiao Yan almost let it slip, but since the word "Huaxia" sounds like "Xiao" when pronounced quickly, he wasn't worried. Besides, even if he did say "Huaxia," he wasn't afraid Dong Qing would notice something was wrong.

He's a time traveler, and a time traveler with a system at that.

Theoretically speaking.

There is usually only one transmigrator in a world. Once he is there, there will be no second one. Moreover, even if there were two transmigrators, he would not believe that Dong Qing is a transmigrator.

the reason is simple.

If Dong Qing were a time traveler, his usual habits would have been discovered by the other party long ago. After all, some jokes and things can only be understood by fellow time travelers.

"Xiao Yanzi, don't be so quick to say you have no woman in your heart. That girl's name is Nalan Yanran."

Dong Qing patted Xiao Yan's head. He didn't know if he would ever hear those words again. Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't. It all depended on fate.

This kind of thing can't be forced.

There's no point in forcing it.

“Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Nalan Jie, the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire? My betrothed since childhood?” Xiao Yan’s expression stiffened.

“Your grandfather and Nalan Jie were best friends, and at that time, you and Nalan Yanran were born at the same time, so the two old men arranged this betrothal between them.”

"Unfortunately, in the third year after your birth, your grandfather died from severe injuries sustained in a battle with his enemies. As time went by, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Nalan family also weakened."

“However, Nalan Jie is not only arrogant, but also extremely committed to his promises. He personally agreed to the marriage he arranged back then, so even though you, Xiao Yanzi, have a terrible reputation these past few years and are known as a fallen genius, he has never sent anyone to break off the engagement,” Dong Qing said casually.

"This old man is quite stubborn."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Seeing that he was still laughing, Dongqing became a little annoyed and couldn't help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm.

“Nalan Jie has absolute authority in the family. No one dares to oppose what he says. Although he loves his granddaughter Nalan Yanran very much, it is difficult to get him to break off the engagement, since he values ​​his promises.”

“But five years ago, Nalan Yanran was personally taken in as a disciple by Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect. In the past five years, Nalan Yanran has shown exceptional talent in cultivation and has won Yun Yun’s favor. Over the years, she has been raised almost as her own daughter.”

"Little Yanzi, guess what? She has Yun Yun as her backer..."

Dong Qing hesitated, waiting for Xiao Yan's expression to change.

Call me uncle? Try saying it again if you dare.

"Uncle Dongqing, do you mean she's here to break off the engagement?" Xiao Yan's expression changed, and a surge of anger welled up inside him that he couldn't suppress.

This anger was not because Nalan Yanran discriminated against him, or because he was dissatisfied with her unilateral termination of the engagement.

He came from Earth and was a time traveler. He wasn't a conservative person and could understand the other party's desire to break off the engagement.

To tell the truth.

Although the girl opposite him was beautiful, Xiao Yan was not a man whose mind was controlled by his lower body. He had no feelings for women and only wanted to cultivate and become stronger.

If she were to publicly ask her father to annul the engagement, then her father, as the clan leader, would truly lose all face.

"It should be!"

Dong Qing remained calm and collected, waiting to hear the saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

But what he didn't expect was...

"Brother, please help Xiao Yanzi. I can't let Father lose face in this situation," Xiao Yan said in a low voice.

No wonder he was so humble.

Nalan Yanran is not only beautiful and charming with a prominent status, but also exceptionally talented. Anyone who talks about this matter will think that Xiao Yan is a toad trying to eat swan meat, but instead he was trampled underfoot by the beautiful swan.

In this way...

In the future, not only will Xiao Yan lose face, but even his father will become a laughing stock, lose his dignity, and never be able to hold his head up in the eyes of his clan again.

"I'll help?" Dong Qing was stunned.

"Brother!" Xiao Yan said pitifully.

"I......"

"elder brother."

"I......"

"elder brother!"

"I...I'll think of a way."

"Thank you, Uncle Dongqing!"

Chapter 824, Do you know her?

Uncle Dongqing appeared.

The person's face instantly darkened.

"Brother, brother, it was Xiao Yan who was being ignorant. He was wrong, he was wrong, he really called me by the wrong name," Xiao Yan said quickly.

Don't ask why Xiao Yan, who has already obtained the power of the Milky Way and possesses the ability of an invincible body, still appears so humble and even asks Dong Qing for help.

First of all.

Xiao Yan is a time traveler; he has brains.

Although he didn't know what the inviolable physical body of someone below the Dou Huang level meant in this world, he couldn't just casually reveal his abilities.

He knew that those below the Dou Huang level were not to be harmed, not those below the Dou Di level. If he encountered someone above the Dou Huang level, there was a high probability that he would be skinned alive and have his tendons pulled out.

Second.

Dongqing and Xiao Yan have a really good relationship, second only to Xiao Yan's father Xiao Zhan. He is a trustworthy person and has the ability to help Xiao Yan get out of this predicament.

Besides, it's just calling me "brother" twice.

He's just rebellious, not an idiot.

If calling him "brother" a couple of times could salvage his father Xiao Zhan's reputation and dignity, why not? At worst, he could just call him "Uncle Dongqing" a couple more times in the future.

"Oh dear, Xiao Yanzi, your rebellious nature is quite something!"

Dong Qing discovered for the first time that some people are really shameless. Before agreeing, they call him "brother" over and over again, so affectionately. But once they agree, they immediately turn their backs on him and start calling him "uncle."

"Brother, thank you for your help. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Xiao Yan could only scratch his head and chuckle awkwardly; he dared not answer the question directly.

Just at that moment.

Xiao Zhan and the old man in the white robe had finished their pleasantries and were ready to get down to business.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The old man in the moon-white robe coughed lightly, stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Zhan, and said awkwardly, "Clan Chief Xiao, the main reason I came to your family this time is to ask you for a favor!"

He was embarrassed, really embarrassed.

If Nalan Yanran didn't have powerful connections, he really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

Who would annul an engagement in front of so many people? These kinds of things are usually discussed privately. Announcing an engagement in front of everyone is purely an attempt to ruin the man's reputation.

“Mr. Ge Ye, please speak freely. If it is within our power, the Xiao family should not refuse.”

This seemingly kind-looking old man in a moon-white robe.

Xiao Zhan dared not be negligent and quickly stood up, being very polite. However, since he did not know what the other party wanted, he did not dare to speak too definitively.

help?

Could it be that they want to ask Elder Dongqing to concoct medicine?

Doesn't the Yunlan Sect have a sixth-grade alchemist?

It's no wonder Xiao Zhan thought that way.

Apart from Dong Qing, a guest elder who is suspected to be a third-grade alchemist, the other members of the Xiao family are really nothing special and could not possibly help the old man in the moon-white robe in front of them.

"Clan Chief Xiao, do you know her?"

Kuzuha forced himself to suppress his speechlessness and pointed to the girl beside him.

"I am ignorant and do not know this young lady..."

Upon hearing this...

Xiao Zhan was taken aback. He looked the girl up and down carefully, then shook his head slightly embarrassedly, not recognizing Nalan Yanran as his future daughter-in-law.

In his memory.

Since Xiao Yan became a cripple overnight three years ago, a fallen genius, the Nalan family has had no contact with the Xiao family. He thought that the marriage had been automatically dissolved with the tacit consent of both parties.

So he didn't tell Xiao Yan either.

You also have a fiancée named Nalan Yanran.

Moreover, when Nalan Yanran was accepted as a personal disciple by Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, she was only ten years old. Now she has been cultivating in Yunlan Sect for five years.

As the saying goes, a girl changes drastically at eighteen. Having not seen her for many years, Xiao Zhan naturally had no idea that the beautiful young woman in front of him was his nominal daughter-in-law.

“Clan Chief Xiao, her name is Nalan Yanran,” Ge Ye reminded her.

"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Old Master Nalan?"

Xiao Zhan was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with surprise.

He remembered the marriage agreement between the Xiao family and the Nalan family back then, and he never expected that the Nalan family would actually acknowledge the marriage.

Thinking about this...
