Chapter 43: By the way, what did Yanran's niece want to say?
This old man's name is Ge Ye, and he is an elder of the Yunlan Sect.
As a sect elder, his first consideration is the interests of the sect.
Therefore, when he learned that the good-for-nothing Xiao Yan had been in contact with the big shots in Zhongzhou, he instinctively did not want to continue with the next move to break off the engagement, as he did not want to offend Xiao Yan or even the entire Xiao family now.
After all, no matter what happens, as long as something involves Zhongzhou, it is definitely a big deal. Even the Jiama royal family does not dare to ignore the attitude of a strong man in Zhongzhou.
But Nalan Yanran is different. After all, she is just a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. All she thinks about is her own interests. She has no idea whether her breaking off the engagement will bring hidden dangers to the sect.
.
After all, she has been practicing in the Yunlan Sect since she was a child, and she even worshiped the sect master as her teacher. She has been protected very well since she was a child. She has never experienced the calculations of her fellow sects, and she does not know how cruel the struggle for power is. In her opinion, it is just to relieve a situation.
It's just a paper engagement, how big of a deal can it be?
In the eyes of this young girl, the world is not as important as her own future happiness. Let her marry a loser in the future? Even if the old sect leader moves out, she will not agree to this matter.
As for the Xiao family's so-called connection with the powerful people in Zhongzhou, she didn't believe it at all.
Even if there is a real connection, it is because Xiao Yan, who was extremely talented back then, had a connection with the other party. But now Xiao Yan is just a waste. How can the strong man in Zhongzhou accept him as his disciple again?
Maybe the strong man from Zhongzhou had already learned the news that Xiao Yan had become a waste and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. Otherwise, more than four years have passed, why hasn't the other party come to the Xiao family?
In response to Elder Ge Ye's probing eyes, Nalan Yanran nodded firmly, as if she was determined to break off the engagement.
"How about waiting a little longer?" Elder Kuzu Ye asked in a low voice.
Ge Ye felt a little unhappy. After all, he was an elder and had shown his inappropriate attitude towards breaking off the engagement. Nalan Yanran still insisted on going her own way, which was a bit disrespectful to him as an elder.
"No more waiting, today is the day!"
But Nalan Yanran didn't care at all about Ge Ye's displeasure and still insisted on her own opinions.
Ge Ye was slightly angry. In his opinion, since Xiao Yan had made an agreement with the strong man in Zhongzhou, and the other party promised that he would come to the Xiao family again in four or five years, then why should Yunlan Sect be in a hurry to break off the engagement?
But wouldn't it be better to wait another half a year and make a choice after things become clearer?
But Nalan Yanran was really spoiled by the sect master. She was willful and self-willed. His elder's opinion had no weight in front of her!
This time, Ge Ye was assigned by the head of the Yunlan Sect to be mainly responsible for Nalan Yanran's breakup of the engagement. Logically speaking, he should be the one to raise the matter with the clan leader Xiao Zhan in person.
But Ge Ye was angry at this time and was afraid of the mysterious Zhongzhou strongman, so he just kept silent about the matter. No matter how Nalan Yanran winked, he pretended not to have seen it.
Ge Ye has made up his mind to give up on the matter of breaking off the engagement this time. After returning to the sect, he will report the situation of the Xiao family to the sect leader, and then deal with it in detail after the sect leader makes a definite decision.
Moreover, in Ge Ye's view, even if the sect leader still decides to dissolve the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran in the future, he cannot do so in front of everyone and in public.
It is absolutely possible to reach an agreement secretly with Patriarch Xiao Zhan in private!
Kuzu Ye's cultivation level is not strong in Yunlan Sect, but as the saying goes, people become more sophisticated as they live longer and think about things more comprehensively. They will not be like some stupid young people who just do whatever they think of without caring about the consequences.
It is precisely because of his tact and thoughtfulness that he was able to become the elder of the Yunlan Sect with the cultivation of the Great Dou Master, and was trusted by the two sect masters!
But when she saw that Elder Ge Ye was only chatting with clan leader Xiao Zhan and did not mention their purpose of coming this time, Nalan Yanran suddenly became anxious.
In order to break off the engagement this time, she had begged her master for a long time before getting his permission. If the matter could not be resolved this time, it would be even more difficult for her to break off the engagement in the future!
After all, she came here without telling her grandfather this time. If she failed to break off the engagement this time and her grandfather found out, she might not even be able to leave the Yunlan Sect's mountain gate in the future!
With anxiety in her heart, Nalan Yanran could no longer care about anything else.
Since Elder Ge Ye is unreliable, Nalan Yanran will speak up herself.
"Ahem!"
Nalan Yanran coughed twice, interrupting the conversation between Ge Ye and Xiao Zhan, then stood up and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Xiao, do you still recognize Yanran?"
Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, looked the girl up and down, and then smiled awkwardly: "It turns out she is Yanran's niece. I thought she was some young disciple of the Yunlan Sect. I didn't expect that Yanran had not seen her for several years.
Uncle Xiao can't even recognize the sign that the girl has disappeared, so don't blame her!"
After all, she is his future daughter-in-law. She has been here for a long time, but he still didn't recognize her. Xiao Zhan was really embarrassed about this.
"Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to see her, so she should apologize. But how can I dare to blame Uncle Xiao?" Nalan Yanran said with a sweet smile.
Nalan Yanran's words were very nice. After seeing Xiao Zhan looking at her as if he were looking at his future daughter-in-law, she suddenly felt worried and her voice became a little louder.
"Uncle Xiao, this time Yanran and Elder Ge Ye came to the Xiao family mainly because of Yanran's matter, and Yanran's master also agreed to it..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zhan's expression darkened.
As the leader of a clan, he naturally has a flexible mind. As soon as the other party spoke like this, he knew in his heart that the person coming today was not good.
Thinking about Xiao Yan's reputation as a trash in the past few years, the purpose of the other party's visit this time is almost obvious!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan raised his hand and touched the ring lightly. The next moment, a mysterious magic core emitting red light, with fire dragon marks imprinted on it, appeared in the palm of his hand.
As soon as the magic core came out, an extremely huge coercion spread out, exuding a heart-stopping terrifying aura, and immediately enveloped the entire hall.
Whether it was Ge Ye, the seven-star fighting master, or everyone else in the Xiao family, they were all covering their chests with their hands, feeling short of breath and feeling like they were suffocating.
"Don't be surprised, everyone. This is the clan treasure left by Sect Master Lin to the Xiao family. This treasure is somewhat special. It needs to be left outside for an hour every day to absorb the energy between heaven and earth. Today is the time to absorb energy, which has disturbed everyone.
Got it!"
Xiao Zhan stroked the red gemstone with both hands and looked at Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran below with a calm expression, his eyes shining with meaningful light.
"By the way, what did niece Yanran want to say just now?"
