"okay, I get it."

Great Elder Xiao waved his hand, walked out of the Douqi Pavilion, called Xiao Xun'er and Gu Changqing who were still fighting, and went to the Xiao family's meeting hall together.

Chapter 5 Nalan Yanran is here

Xiao family meeting hall.

When Gu Changqing, Xiao Xun'er and the Great Elder arrived, quite a few people were already seated in the hall.

Sitting at the top were Xiao Zhan and two calm-looking old men. They were the second and third elders of the Xiao family, and their power was not much weaker than that of Xiao Zhan, the patriarch.

Seeing Gu Changqing and the other two arrive, all three of them nodded gently.

"Xun'er, Changqing, go sit over there."

The great elder stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat where the younger generation of the Xiao family were sitting.

There, the first position and the adjacent second position were reserved for Gu Changqing and Xiao Xun'er.

Even the younger generations who arrived early did not sit in the seats reserved for Gu Changqing and Xiao Xun'er, but tactfully sat in the back.

Gu Changqing and Xiao Xun'er nodded and took their seats forward.

In the hall, in addition to the many members of the Xiao family, there were also three strangers.

The three strangers were sitting on the right side of the Xiao family and on the right side of Xiao Zhan and others.

Among the three, there was an old man wearing a moon-white robe. The old man had a smile on his face and looked energetic. His pair of small eyes occasionally flashed with brilliance. When his gaze fell on Gu Changqing and Xiao Xun'er, he exclaimed in surprise.

I didn’t expect that in a small family like the Xiao family, two young men who looked extremely extraordinary would suddenly appear.

Next to the old man sat a young man and woman, who were also wearing the same moon-white robes.

The man was about twenty years old, with a handsome face and an upright figure, and was quite charming.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the five golden stars painted on his chest, which represent the young man’s strength: a five-star fighter!

Being so young, yet possessing the strength of a five-star fighter, he attracted the attention of many young people from the Xiao family in the hall.

However, they soon saw Gu Changqing and Xiao Xun'er sitting calmly.

A one-star fighter who is only a year or two younger than this young man, and a genuine five-star fighter who is fourteen or fifteen years old.

No worse than this young man!

All of a sudden, the young man's charm decreased a bit.

The young man's attention was currently focused on a beautiful girl next to him.

This girl was about the same age as Xiao Xun'er, probably a little older, but what was even more surprising was that her appearance was comparable to Xiao Xun'er's.

However, Xiao Xun'er's temperament is like a beautiful green lotus that is not tainted by the world; this girl's temperament is more like a delicate peony.

A pair of green jade pendants hung on the girl's delicate earlobes, which made a slight and crisp sound when they swayed.

But the most surprising thing is that there are three golden stars painted on the chest of this beautiful girl, representing her strength. She is a three-star fighter!

Fourteen or fifteen years old, a three-star fighter, it seems that his talent is not much weaker than Xiao Xun'er.

At this moment, the girl was looking in the direction of Gu Changqing with some surprise.

It seemed that no one expected that in a place like the Xiao family, there would be a beautiful young man with an elegant appearance like Gu Changqing.

"Humph!"

The young man noticed the beautiful girl's gaze, followed the girl's gaze and saw Gu Changqing, and immediately snorted in displeasure.

His eyes also gave Gu Changqing a warning, as if warning Gu Changqing that the beautiful girl next to him was not someone Gu Changqing could dream of.

Swish!

As a doting brother, Xiao Xun'er's perception was extremely sharp. When she saw the handsome young man showing a hint of hostility towards Gu Changqing, she immediately looked at the handsome young man with cold eyes.

Obviously, this handsome young man came from an extraordinary family and had considerable strength, but when he met Xiao Xun'er's gaze, his heart shuddered slightly, as if he was being stared at by some terrifying existence.

"chi"

Gu Changqing chuckled, and Duanhua's beauty slightly blinded the beautiful girl opposite him.

tread!

tread!

At this time, Xiao Yan, the protagonist of today, arrived late.

After taking a quick look around the scene, Xiao Yan hurried forward to greet Xiao Zhan, the Great Elder and the others.

"Father, three elders!"

Xiao Yan bowed to Xiao Zhan and the others who were sitting in the center and at the top.

"Haha, Yan'er, here we come, sit down quickly."

Xiao Zhan's expression also became much kinder. He nodded, waved at Xiao Yan and said.

Xiao Yan responded with a smile and turned around to look for his seat.

However, the next second, his face froze in embarrassment.

All around, the sounds of many Xiao family disciples giggling could be heard.

Because there was no place for Xiao Yan at the scene.

Even some of the younger members of the Xiao family who were younger than Xiao Yan had no intention of standing up to let the third brother of the Xiao family sit down.

For a moment, Xiao Yan could only stand there awkwardly with a gloomy face.

"Second Elder, you."

Xiao Zhan also noticed Xiao Yan's embarrassment, and immediately asked the second elder sitting next to him in angrily.

"Well, I'm so sorry, I forgot about the Third Young Master. I'll ask someone to prepare it right away!"

The second elder smiled apologetically and quickly instructed a disciple of the Xiao family below to stand up and make room for him.

Xiao Yan did have a seat, but it was at the back edge of the hall.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became even more awkward.

Bang!

"Second Elder."

Xiao Zhan was about to get angry and question the Second Elder when Xiao Yan chuckled, interrupting his anger.

"Haha, father, don't be angry. I guess the Second Elder has become old and confused and forgot to prepare a place for me."

"It doesn't matter where I sit, but the Second Elder is the backbone of the family and is in charge of many important affairs of our Xiao family. If he becomes confused, it is likely to bring a lot of unnecessary losses to our Xiao family."

"Second Elder, if you are really old and confused, I would like to suggest that you should retire and enjoy your old age."

After saying that, Xiao Yan walked towards his last position calmly and calmly.

However, Xiao Yan's words stunned many people at the scene.

Especially the second elder, his face turned blue and black.

Little beast!

Sharp teeth!

He even dared to call him old and confused, but he couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Haha, what Yan'er said does make sense. Second Elder, if you are confused, I can arrange someone to take care of the family affairs."

Xiao Zhan also laughed and said to the second elder with a gloomy face.

"Hmph, you are so sharp-tongued. I am not that foolish. You don't need to worry about me, Chieftain!"

The Second Elder flicked his sleeves, turned his old face away, and said unhappily without looking at Xiao Yan and his son.

"Well, our family has distinguished guests here today, so it's inappropriate to make a scene!"

The Great Elder suddenly shouted, interrupting Xiao Zhan and his son and the Second Elder who were gloating over their misfortune.

Xiao Zhan and the others also knew the seriousness of the matter, so they did not bother about sitting on the stool anymore, and talked enthusiastically with the strange old man on the upper right.

However, the old man seemed to have something to hide. He opened his mouth to speak several times, but swallowed it back helplessly.

Every time this happened, the delicate girl next to him couldn't help but glance at him.

Chapter 6 Asking Patriarch Xiao to Cancel the Engagement

"Brother Qing, do you know the identities of these three people?"

Xiao Xun'er sat next to Gu Changqing, slightly tilted her body, and asked softly.

"He is from Yunlan Sect. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be here to cancel the engagement."

Gu Changqing did not hide anything and spoke with a smile without any hesitation.

"Oh, you knew that?"

Xiao Xun'er looked at Gu Changqing in surprise. She didn't expect that her younger brother had the ability to collect intelligence.

"I also know that the girl should be Nalan Yanran who is engaged to Xiao Yan. This matter is no longer a secret in the Xiao family."

Gu Changqing said again.

"You have found out a lot of information. How do you know that they are here to cancel the engagement? What if they are here to get married?"

Xiao Xun'er rolled her eyes at Gu Changqing and said.

"Who would want to marry someone who has bad behavior, no talent, and most importantly, is not handsome?"

Gu Changqing spread his hands speechlessly. He was not slandering Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was just like that. Of course, three years ago, he was talented.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Xun'er also smiled, and then looked at Nalan Yanran opposite her with some sympathy.

If she had such a fiancé, she would want to kill him.

"Hey, Patriarch Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly because I have something to ask for!"

The old man in white robe, Ge Ye, couldn't stand the hesitant atmosphere at the scene, so he finally stood up, bowed to Xiao Zhan, and said.

"The real show is about to begin."

Gu Changqing also smiled and acted like he was enjoying a melon. He looked at Ge Ye and Xiao Zhan with interest, and from time to time he kept an eye on the status of Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran and the others.

At this time, Nalan Yanran also clenched her hands quietly, and a look of nervousness and anticipation appeared on her pretty face as white as jade.

It was like a girl whose entire childhood was shrouded in gloom, finally waiting for the moment when the clouds broke through and the sky opened up, revealing the dawn light.

Even if it didn't happen to him, Gu Changqing could understand Nalan Yanran's feelings.

It's like if Xiao Yan had a fat, ugly and manic fiancée, he would probably have been unable to stand it. With his personality three years ago, he would have tried every means to cancel the engagement.

The key point is, Nalan Yanran just wants freedom.

"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 did not dare to neglect the old man's request, and quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

However, as the patriarch, he did not speak too firmly.

"Haha, Chief Xiao, do you know her?"

Ge Ye turned slightly, pointed at the beautiful girl beside him, and asked with a smile.

"Uh, forgive Xiao Zhan for his poor eyesight, young lady"

Xiao Zhan was also a very shrewd person, pretending to be ignorant. In fact, he already knew it last night, and guessed who the visitor was, and even specially reminded Xiao Yan.

"Well, her name is Nalan Yanran."

Ge Ye smiled lightly and said.
