Chapter 11: Guest? Who?
Knowing full well Xiao Yan's position, Xiao Zhan could only answer with a sigh. He knew that 4 stages of Dou Zhi Qi in a year was extremely difficult. He gently patted Xiao Yan's head, and smiled, saying: "It's getting quite late, you should go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, the clan has a guest and you shouldn't miss the ceremony."
"Guest? Who?" Xiao Yan asked, full of curiousity.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Xiao Zhan winked at the restless Xiao Yan, leaving with a big smile on his face.
"Don't you worry, father. I'll work really hard." Xiao Yan rubbed the simple ring while raising his head and whispering.
Just when Xiao Yan raised his head, the black ring on his finger sudddenly lit up with a mysterious glow and flashed. Blinking, Xiao Yan realised it wasn't a person...
Next day, an old winzed voice came from outside of the door, "Fourth Young master, there are distinguished guests at clan today. The clan leader has requested your presence in the hall!"
"I know!" Xiao Tian, who had finished practicing, casually agreed.
Then the footsteps gradually faded away, Xiao Tian then remembered that today should be the day when Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement. Xiao Tian didn't think much, stretched out his body, changed into a set of decent white clothes, and walked out.
When he was about to arrive at the hall, Xiao Tian happened to meet Xun Er who was going to the hall. Xun Er walked over with a smile, looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Brother Xiao Tian is so handsome today!"
Xiao Tian was wearing a white gown with a waist If there is an emerald green jade pendant in the hand, and if there is a folding fan in the hand, it will really be like: The stranger is like jade, the young master is unparalleled in the world!
"Xun Er is also very beautiful today!" Xiao Tian also smiled lightly and praised Xun Er.
The two walked in together, and everyone in the Xiao Clan hall looked at Xiao Tian and Xun Er. They silently praised in his heart What a pair of golden boys and girls!
Xiao Tian didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, and took Xun y straight to a corner and sat down. He glanced around and saw that there were three extra people in the hall. Among the three extra people, the girl who looks extremely delicate is probably Nalan Yanran!
Xiao Tian saw the strength of these three people at a glance. The old man was a Seven - Star Da Dou Shi, the proud-looking young man was a Four - Star Dou Zhe, and Nalan Yanran was a Three - Star Dou Zhe!
Xiao Tian didn't see that Nalan Yanran's eyes looked at him the moment he walked in, but Xiao Tian didn't notice it!
Nalan Yanran naturally noticed Xiao Tian. When she saw Xiao Tian looking at her for a moment and then not looking at her again, surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't care, then she just glanced at Xiao Xun Er who was beside him.
After all, Xun Er, who was dressed in green clothes, looked like a green lotus at this time, aloof and independent. Fortunately, Xun Er and Xiao Tian were sitting in the corner, not so noticeable.
While Xiao Tian was chatting with Xun Er. At this moment, Xiao Yan walked in from outside the hall and saw that there was no seat for him to sit.
When Xiao Tian saw that Xiao Yan was at a loss, so he waved to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Tian, and walked straight in the direction of Xiao Tian and sat down next to him.
"Thank you, Brother Tian. You rescued me again." Xiao Yan whispered.
Xiao Tian smiled softly and said, "It's a trivial matter!"
Xiao Yan looked at the strange old man who was chatting enthusiastically with his father and three elders, and asked Xiao Tian, "Are these people the distinguished guests of the clan?"
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Yes, aren't they still embroidered with the Yun Lan Sect's symbol on their sleeves?"
"What are they doing at the Xiao Clan?" Xiao Yan muttered in a low voice.
Xiao Tian turned around and looked at Xiao Yan with a half-smile and asked, "Do you know the name of the girl up there?" Xiao Tian glanced at the girl.
"No, do you?" Xian Yan furrowed his brows as he examined the face of the girl Xiao Tian pointed out. He cannot recall ever having seen her before.
"She's Nalan Yanran!" Xiao Tian smiled and said.
Xiao Yan stiffened, "Nalan Yanran? The granddaughter of Nalan Jie, the Lionheart commander of Jia Ma Empire? She's... she's my fiancée that was set between our families, before I was born?"
"Hehe, grandfather and Nalan Jie were like blood brothers and at that time, you and Nalan Yanran were born around the same time, so the two decided that you guys would get married. But, unfortunately, three years after you were born, grandfather died in a fight with a clan enemy and as time passed, Xiao Clan's relation with the Nalan family became weaker..." Xiao Tian paused and looked at Xiao Yan who was absorbed in Xiao Tian's story, "Nalan Jie is not only arrogant, he also puts extreme emphasis on promises. The marriage was decided by him so even though your name has been quite bad the past few years, he has never once thought of annulling the marriage..."
"That geezer sure is quite obstinate..." Xiao Yan smiled.
"Nalan Jie has the final say in all matters within the family so even though he really is very fond of his granddaughter, no one in the family has stepped up to oppose the marriage..." Xiao Tian's eyes lightly glanced at Xiao Yan before continuing, "But five years ago, Nalan Yanran became a student under the leader of Yun Lan Sect. In these five years, Nalan Yanran demonstrated incredible talent. When a person has enough power to change the path of their life, they would try their hardest to change things that they don't like and unfortunately, she absolutely hates her promised marriage with third brother!"
