In the hill behind Xiao's house, a young man sat cross-legged on the bluestone facing the setting sun.
"Huh~" Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the fighting spirit he had finally cultivated in his body disappeared silently again, without any waves in his heart. This has become the norm in the past three years.
"Uh~"
Xiao Yan sat up, stretched a little, and hummed comfortably. At this time, a clear voice like a lark came from the distance, "Brother Xiao Yan."
"Oh, it's Xun'er!" Xiao Yan turned around and saw a beautiful girl in purple clothes with an extraordinary temperament. He couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
"After being a waste for so many years, this girl is the only one who still sticks to me."
Although most of the younger members of the Xiao family did not do anything impulsive due to Xiao Zhan's prestige, the contrast between before and after can be felt by almost everyone.
Xiao Yan was indeed very angry at first, but over time, he got used to it and even felt a little happy about it. Looking at Xun'er who exuded amazing charm in front of him, Xiao Yan's heart moved.
I couldn't help but feel ridiculous for my childish behavior back then.
In the beginning, when his talent was just lost, Xiao Yan couldn't bear the difference in height for a while, and he had an indifferent attitude towards everyone around him.
Only Xun'er, the proud daughter of heaven, has always followed Xiao Yan. Due to his pride, Xiao Yan deliberately kept a distance from the former, and in the end... he still fell under the other's warmth.
"Xun'er, what's the matter?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"Well, these are brother Xiao Yan's resources for this month." Xun'er put a Na ring into Xiao Yan's hand, winked and said playfully.
"Xun'er, lying is not a good habit!" Xiao Yan checked the resources in the ring and shook his head bitterly.
How could someone as smart as him not know the source of the things in this Najie? As early as a year ago, Xiao Zhan had told Xiao Yan that most of his resources had been cut off by his family.
Xiao Yan also understood this very well. How could he, a "waste" with three levels of Dou Qi, be worth such a huge investment? He couldn't use up all those things, and even if his family could leave some of them for him, he felt very satisfied.
Already.
But this time, the resources sent by Xun'er were the same as what he had before. No matter how slow he was, Xiao Yan could guess that a certain girl had paid for them out of her own pocket.
"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you talking about? Xun'er doesn't understand!" At this moment, Xun'er still didn't forget to pretend to be stupid, blinking his big watery eyes, trying to pass the test in a cute way.
"Okay", Xiao Yan flicked Xun'er's little head, "These are all yours, right?"
Xiao Yan put the ring back into Xun'er's hand and said angrily.
"You are about to break through the Great Dou Master and are in need of resources. How can you be so willful?"
For some unknown reason, Xiao Yan's perception was very keen. Although Xun'er had some ways to cover it up, the former still felt the opponent's cultivation level - Nine Star Fighter.
This realm is only one step away from a breakthrough, and Xun'er foolishly gave him the resources. Although he was moved, there was no way he would accept it.
"Okay!" Xun'er agreed aggrievedly, as if Xiao Yan had bullied her.
Immediately, Xun'er seemed to remember something, "Brother Xiao Yan, there seems to be a guest at home. Aunt Long asked me to call you over."
guest?
Xiao Yan frowned. Doesn't he know what's going on with the Xiao family? They are basically isolated from the world. Although there are no restrictions on family members' travel, except for certain important days, few people come to visit. How could there be anything?
guest?
Moreover, he had to ask his mother to ask him to go there. Thinking about it... Xiao Yan turned his eyes to the "innocent" little girl aside.
"Xun'er, what's going on?" Xiao Yan knew very well that no matter who his mother wanted to hide, she would never hide it from Xun'er.
"It seems that brother Xiao Yan's fiancée came to visit!" Xun'er said mysteriously.
"Fiancée? When did I have a fiancée?" Xiao Yan, like a monk, was confused. This was the first time in his life that he had heard about this.
"I know this." Xun'er said lively: "It's Nalan Yanran, the young sect master of Yunlan Sect. Her grandfather, Nalan Jie, the lion-hearted marshal of the Jiama Empire, and Grandpa Xiao Lin are good friends. The two of you are engaged to them.
"Two settled"
"Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Yan frowned and immediately seemed to have discovered a blind spot: "That's not right. Didn't grandpa pass away before I was born? How could there be a marriage contract between the two of us?"
It has to be said that the news about Xiao Lin was kept secret. Even the younger generation of the Xiao family now knows that he is still alive.
"There is no clear candidate for that engagement. It seems that the two of you are the closest in age, and then it's done!"
"'s?"
"This old man is really... good!" After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Yan couldn't think of any words to comment on, so he could only spit out this word.
"Brother Xiao Yan, that Nalan Yanran is a famous beauty? Aren't you tempted?" Xun'er's voice made Xiao Yan's heart itch, and it seemed to be full of temptation.
"Come on," Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "I've never seen Nalan Yanran before, so how can I possibly like her or not."
"But... let's go and have a look!" He said it nicely, but the last words and the slightly accelerated pace revealed the nature of a certain LSP. A trace of jealousy flashed in Xun'er's eyes.
"Yan'er, you're here!" As soon as Xiao Yan walked into the door, Xiao Long, who was smiling, noticed him.
"Hey, Xun'er is here too, come to Aunt Long." Just when Xiao Yan was about to greet his mother with a smile, Xun'er walked in and quickly attracted Xiao Long's full attention.
"Okay, Aunt Long." Xun'er walked forward with a smile, took Xiao Long's arm, and said very intimately.
"Hey!" Xiao Yan just sighed, and he was used to this kind of scene.
Not long after, Xiao Yan sat next to Xiao Long and asked doubtfully: "Mom, what's going on with that engagement?"
"This little girl told you again, right?" Xiao Long glanced sideways at Xun'er, who was sitting obediently at the side, and said with a hint of disgust. There was always a feeling that his own cabbage was being eaten.
"This engagement is just a joke between the two families and should not be taken seriously." However, Xiao Long still explained that Xiao Long was completely indifferent to the Nalan family. After the Xiao family left the Jia Ma Imperial City, the two families
, have long become strangers.
Even Xiao Lin, the old patriarch who made the engagement, never mentioned this matter again.
"Oh~" Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that his right to choose a mate would be handed over so unclearly.
"Aunt Long, do you know what Nalan Yanran is doing here?" Xun'er asked curiously.
"Maybe I came here because of the engagement." Xiao Long said noncommittally, "It just so happens that it would be good for the two families to resolve it privately."
"But it seems that Nalan Yanran is coming today..." Before he could finish speaking, someone came immediately.
"Report to the mistress, a guest from the Nalan family has arrived and is waiting in the main hall."
In this way, Nalan Yanran, the lifelong enemy of Emperor Hun Tian, paid a visit to the Xiao family in Gujing Wubo.
