Fighting with fire shadow

After Xiao Zhan saw Ximen Cheng and the others, he quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet them: "Three distinguished guests have come from afar. Xiao Zhan is sorry for being a little disappointed in welcoming us from afar. Please forgive me!"

"Clan Chief Xiao, you're welcome. I'm Ge Ye, the elder of the outer sect of Yunlan Sect. I've taken the liberty to come here this time, but I'm going to cause some trouble. Please don't take offense to Chief Xiao."

"Elder Ge is joking. It's an honor for our Xiao family to have distinguished guests like you come here. We invite three of you to take a seat."

After Xiao Zhan asked Ximen Cheng and the others to sit down on the seats on his right, he chatted with Elder Ge Ye again, obviously hoping to build a good relationship with the Yunlan Sect.

While Elder Ge Ye was chatting with Xiao Zhan, Ximen Cheng curiously looked at the other people in the hall.

Ximen Cheng had no interest in the old men and male disciples of the Xiao family. His attention was attracted by the girl sitting in the corner of the hall who was reading a book.

This woman's appearance is comparable to that of Nalan Yanran. She is wearing a purple dress and has a cool and indifferent temperament, just like a green lotus.

The slender waist is like a willow leaf, which can be easily held in one's hand. The three thousand black hair is tied up with a piece of lavender ribbon at will. The long and smooth hair hangs down to the waist along the moving curve. There are two hanging on the wrist. The tiny green bell looks like a figure in a painting.

The other Xiao family girls in the hall were all attracted by Ximen Cheng's handsome appearance, especially after they saw the badge Ximen Cheng wore on his chest, some of them boldly made secret glances at him.

Only this girl in the purple skirt was unique. From the moment Ximen Cheng and the others entered the hall, she never raised her head to look at Ximen Cheng. She was immersed in the book in her hand, as if there were some interesting stories recorded in it.

Perhaps sensing Ximen Cheng's gaze, Xiao Xun'er, who was reading a book, suddenly raised his head and looked in his direction.

"Five Star Fighter!"

When Xiao Xun'er saw the badge representing the five-star fighter on Ximen Cheng's chest, the indifferent expression on her face finally changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

However, Xiao Xun'er was only surprised for a moment, and soon returned to a calm expression.

The talent shown by Ximen Cheng can indeed be regarded as one of the best in the Jia Ma Empire, but in the entire Dou Qi Continent, it can only be regarded as above average, which is not enough to make Xiao Xun'er look at him differently.

Just as Ximen Cheng was looking at Xiao Xun'er with interest, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door.

When Xiao Xun'er, who had always had a calm expression, saw the visitor, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she waved to the visitor, asking him to sit next to her.

When Ximen Cheng saw this, there was a strange light in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "This guy must be Xiao Yan, right?"

Compared to the handsome Ximen Cheng, Xiao Yan's appearance can only be regarded as delicate. Although he is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his temperament seems a bit decadent.

"Five-star fighter?!"

After Xiao Yan sat down next to Xiao Xun'er, his eyes naturally fell on Ximen Cheng and the other three. When he saw the badge worn on Ximen Cheng's chest, his pupils suddenly shrank.

From the appearance, Ximen Cheng and Xiao Yan are similar in age. Even if Xiao Yan's talent is not destroyed, he is not completely sure that he can beat Ximen Cheng.

After Xiao Xun'er noticed Xiao Yan's shocked expression, the corners of her pretty mouth slightly raised, and she asked playfully: "Brother Xiao Yan, do you know their identities?"

"Could it be that you know?"

"Brother Xiao Yan, have you seen the cloud-colored silver swords on the sleeves of their robes?"

"Yuncai Silver Sword? They are from the Yunlan Sect!"

Xiao Yan naturally also knows very well what the Yun Lan Sect means in the Jia Ma Empire?He couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "What are the people from the Yunlan Sect doing in the Xiao family?"

"If Xun'er guessed correctly, their purpose of coming to the Xiao family this time may be related to brother Xiao Yan..."

"It's about me?"

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan's confused look, glanced at Nalan Yanran next to Ximen Cheng, and said in a cold tone: "That girl's name is Nalan Yanran."

"Nalan Yanran?!"

When Xiao Yan heard this, his body froze, and he said with a strange expression: "She is the granddaughter of Nalan Jie, the lion-hearted marshal of the Jiama Empire, the... the fiancée who is married to me?"

Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er secretly felt funny in her heart, and said jokingly: "Back then, your grandfather and Nalan Jie were close friends. It happened that you and Nalan Yanran were born at about the same time. In order to get closer, the two old men decided to get married. The marriage was decided.

It's a pity that in the third year after brother Xiao Yan was born, your grandfather died of serious injuries in a battle with his enemies. Over the years, the relationship between the Nalan family and the Xiao family has gradually faded.

The old man Nalan Jie was not only unruly, but also very concerned about promises. He personally agreed to the marriage that year, so even though brother Xiao Yan had a very bad reputation in recent years, he did not let anyone come to regret the marriage. "

Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head and said, "To put it this way, Mr. Nalan Jie is quite cute."

"Nalan Jie is a man of his word in the family, so naturally no one will object to his words."

Xiao Xun'er blinked her big, watery eyes and changed the topic: "But since Nalan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun five years ago, she has shown extremely strong cultivation talent, and she has become even more talented in these years. She is favored by Yun Yun. When a person has the power to change her own destiny, she will find a way to solve the things she doesn't like. Unfortunately, the engagement between brother Xiao Yan and her is what she dislikes the most. thing."

"You mean she's here to break off the engagement!"

Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed, a ball of anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he clenched his fist hard.

If Nalan Yanran really came to break off the engagement today, not only would the entire Xiao family be disgraced, but Xiao Zhan, the clan leader, would be disgraced as well.

After being ridiculed for three years, Xiao Yan no longer cared about others' opinions, but he could not allow others to humiliate his father.

Xiao Yan originally had a good impression of Nalan Yanran, but when he learned that Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement, he felt nothing but disgust for Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Xun'er saw that Xiao Yan was obviously very angry, but could only suppress the anger in her heart. She couldn't help but sighed in her heart, stretched out her hand to hold his fist and comforted: "Brother Xiao Yan, if Nalan Yanran today If she really came to break off the engagement, it only shows that she is short-sighted, and Xun'er believes that she will regret it in the future."

Although Xiao Xun'er was comforting Xiao Yan on the surface, she actually admired Nalan Yanran's actions in her heart.

Because Xiao Xun'er also hates being arranged by her elders for marriage. If her father forces her to marry someone she doesn't like, she will definitely choose to fight hard.
