Chapter 6 This Engagement Should Indeed Be Cancelled

"Ahem." The old man in white robe coughed lightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: "Chief Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly because I have something to ask for!"

After these words were spoken, many people were stunned. Would people from the Yunlan Sect also come to the Xiao family for help?

"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 this old man, so he quickly stood up and spoke politely. However, since he didn't know what the other party wanted, he didn't dare to say too much.

"If you want to discuss private matters, Miss Nalan may as well lend me a hand. Everything can be discussed. Maybe I will visit Mr. Nalan Jie in the future."

Before Ge Ye could speak, Xiao Yuan suddenly stood up and his calm voice rang out in the hall.

Another way of saying this is: You don't want me to tell your grandfather about how arrogant and domineering you are and how you bully others, right?

These words left everyone confused. Even Xiao Zhan was unable to react immediately and looked at his third son with some doubt.

Normally, Yuan'er would not do such impolite things in such occasions.

Miss Nalan, Old Man Nalan Jie. Could it be that the girl next to the old man is actually his daughter-in-law who is not yet married, Nalan Yanran?

Just as Xiao Zhan was feeling happy, he recalled the hidden meaning in Xiao Yuan's words and finally reacted.

Although my own Yuan'er is handsome, he cannot cultivate fighting spirit. Now that my niece Nalan has come with people from the Yunlan Sect, I'm afraid they are here with bad intentions!

It seems that Yuan Er has already figured out the trick of this matter. However, the two families are old friends after all.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhan finally revealed a gentle smile: "So it's Nalan's niece. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame me for being short-sighted."

The three elders looked at each other and frowned...

Nalan Yanran obviously had not expected that Xiao Yuan would actually see through her intentions directly, and said something that made her feel a little embarrassed.

This is like a conflict among primary school students, and one of them suddenly says: I will tell the teacher for you!

All I can say is, it was a killer kill.

For a moment, she couldn't think of how to respond to such words. In addition, Xiao Zhan was an elder after all, and he spoke to her so kindly, so she couldn't help but smile with a somewhat stiff expression and said:

"Uncle Xiao, my niece should apologize for not coming to see me, but how dare I blame you, Uncle Xiao?"

As a person who handles affairs all year round, Ge Ye, who was standing by, naturally knew that what happened today was definitely wrong. Moreover, according to the plan, if the Xiao family refused, he might have to use the title of the sect leader to pressure them.

But Xiao Yuan's words did make him think a little more.

Although the Xiao family is nothing to the Yunlan Sect.

He didn't take it seriously either.

But the kid from the Xiao family is really sensible, and you can tell at a glance that his intelligence is far superior to that of an ordinary person. Since he already knows the purpose of their trip, it seems he also wants to save the face of the Xiao family, so he will surely make the right choice.

In this case, he naturally wouldn't mind selling some benefits to the Xiao family. Who knows, the Xiao family's place might really be useful in the future!
He has managed to achieve his current strength and status, so naturally he knows how to make choices sometimes.

"Haha, if that's the case, then it's a private matter between our two families. Why don't you two young people have a good chat first, as Yuan'er said? Yuan'er can't practice, so he has become the head of the family early. Although he hasn't held his coming-of-age ceremony yet, he can make his own decisions now."

Xiao Zhan smiled even more and continued. Ge Ye naturally wanted to agree to this, but after all, the opinion of the young master Nalan Yanran was the most important thing for this trip. He did not dare to make a decision on his own and could only hope that Nalan Yanran could make a more rational choice.

The meaning of Xiao Zhan's words was clear enough. Nalan Yanran was not a fool. She now understood that whether it was Xiao Yuan or Xiao Zhan, most likely they would not refuse to cancel the engagement with her.

As for the so-called visit to her grandfather, it seemed like a threat to her, but in fact it was just a helpless excuse. Even if she really wanted to use her power to overwhelm her today, it would be a question whether Xiao Yuan, a useless person who couldn't practice, could reach the imperial capital alive. At most, her grandfather would just say a few words to her.

From this perspective, she suddenly felt that Xiao Yuan was a little cute.

It has to be said that Xiao Yuan's handsome face and rational words left a good impression on Nalan Yanran.

Just as men are not too harsh on beautiful women, women are always more tolerant of handsome men.

What's more, now, in Nalan Yanran's opinion, Xiao Yuan is not only handsome, but also very sensible. As the young leader of the Yunlan Sect, she should be more generous.

Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran, who felt that everything was under control, also smiled sweetly: "Okay, that's how it should be."

Xiao Yan, who was sitting behind Xiao Yuan, couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this.

As it should be? Why did you make the Xiao family put on such a scene right after you arrived? If it weren't for the third brother's cleverness, I'm afraid the Xiao family would have lost all face at this moment.

With this level of ability, she is not worthy of being my sister-in-law!
"Miss Nalan, please follow me."

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this, then turned and walked out.

"Ah."

Nalan Yanran nodded slightly when she heard that, and then followed Xiao Yuan out of the hall and strolled along the path in the backyard.

Nalan Yanran looked at the handsome young man in white in front of her, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

As of now, she is satisfied with the third son of the Xiao family, who was betrothed to her, except that he cannot practice cultivation.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

It is really impossible to ask Nalan Yanran to ignore Xiao Yuan's appearance.

But at the same time, she doesn't want to marry a loser, and strength is also an important consideration for her other half.

"Miss Nalan is here to break off the engagement, right?"

Xiao Yuan's calm voice sounded, drawing Nalan Yanran's attention back again.

As if sensing that the girl behind him was a little embarrassed to speak, Xiao Yuan continued:

"This marriage was originally arranged by our fathers, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Now I am indeed not worthy of Miss Nalan, the young master of the Yunlan Sect. Besides, you and I have hardly met each other and have no feelings for each other, so naturally there is no question of marriage."

Having said this, Xiao Yuan paused deliberately, and when Nalan Yanran behind him wanted to say something, he suddenly turned around, stared into Nalan Yanran's eyes, and said in a resounding voice:

"So this engagement should indeed be cancelled."
