Battle Emperor

Chapter 151 Visitor!

The night is as cool as water, the mountain behind the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan lay on the hillside where he used to talk with his father, looked up, and looked at the stars and stars that were completely different from the previous life. In his mind, the scenes of the daytime test flashed one after another.

After all, he couldn't hold on anymore.

After all, after working so hard for so long, Xiao Yan didn't want to persevere anymore, but he couldn't see any signs of reward.

"I'm really not reconciled!" Xiao Yan roared in a low voice, and then, as if he had vented a part of the unwillingness in his heart, his face was full of frustration. In the past few years, his soul power has been compared to that of the past. It is already too strong, and it can be judged from the speed at which he absorbs the energy of the world and condenses the fighting spirit, but no matter how fast he cultivates, the speed at which his fighting spirit disappears will also increase accordingly, just like in his body. It's like having a loophole, leaking fighting spirit all the time.

Perhaps it was because of this place that my father's words of admonition that day became more and more clear.

Thinking of his father, Xiao Yan inevitably thought of his mother who had passed away for more than ten years.

In the end, the father failed his mother after all, not only brought back a daughter outside, but also, the mysterious woman named Cailin seemed to have an unusual relationship with his father.

Xiao Yan didn't show any contempt for his father because of this, after all, his father is a normal man, and some needs are due, just like him, when facing a beautiful woman, sometimes there will be ripples in his heart.

After being dejected, Xiao Yan raised his palm, and there was a black ring on his finger. The ring was very simple, made of unknown material, and there were some vague lines painted on it. This was the only gift his mother gave him before he died. , since his mother passed away, he has been wearing it on his body. This is also his last memory and nostalgia for his mother.

That night, Xiao Yan didn't go to practice anymore, but slept in the grass in the back mountain.

That night, he didn't practice fighting qi either.

Just as Xiao Yan fell asleep, the ring in his hand suddenly flickered with a gleam of light, and there seemed to be a sigh coming from somewhere.

……

The next day, the sky was bright.

Because he slept on the grass in the back mountain, Xiao Yan's sleep quality was extremely poor. He was about to go back to catch up on sleep, when he arrived at the door of the room, he saw the housekeeper of the Xiao family, Mo Guanjia, guarding the door.

Butler Mo is also an old man of the Xiao family. He has dressed in the Xiao family for many years, and his talent for fighting qi cultivation is only mediocre, so he changed careers decisively and studied some medical skills. Although he can't become a pharmacist, he can barely be regarded as half a doctor. , but you can call him "Doctor Mo". At this time, Butler Mo looked a little anxious. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Xiao Yan, "Third Young Master, you are finally back. I have been looking for you for a long time." It's time."

Xiao Yan noticed something unusual in Guanjia Mo's words, "Butler Mo, what's the matter?"

Mo Guanjia said: "A guest came to Xiao's house today."

"Guests?" Xiao Yan raised his brows. In his spare time, if a guest came to the Xiao's house, the three elders would receive them. Now that his father and two elder brothers are in the Xiao's house, even if there is a guest, it will be fine. Don't go looking for him.

Unless, the guests who came this time were related to him.

"Butler Mo, who is the guest who came to Xiao's house today?" Xiao Yan asked softly.

Butler Mo didn't hide anything, he said to Xiao Yan, "Third Young Master, do you know the Nalan family?"

"The Nalan family in the imperial capital?" Xiao Yan has naturally heard of the Nalan family, not only because the Nalan family is one of the three major families of the Jia Ma Empire, but Nalan Jie, Marshal of the Lion Heart, is the most important family of the Jia Ma Empire. One of the top ten powerhouses, and because the Xiao family used to have an irresistible relationship with the Nalan family.

Xiao Yan's grandfather, Xiao Lin, and Nalan Jie were once close friends.

As soon as Steward Mo mentioned the Nalan family, Xiao Yan immediately remembered something.

"Could it be..."

Because if I remember correctly, there seems to be a marriage contract between him and the Nalan family, but because of the decline of the Xiao family, they left the holy city of Jiama, and then this marriage contract was gradually forgotten, until now. The Lan family, he just remembered.

Mo Guanjia said: "In the past, the old Patriarch and Marshal Lion Heart were life-and-death friends, and it happened that you, the third young master, and Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Marshal Lion Heart, were born at the same time, so the two old men made an appointment for this marriage, but then After the Xiao family left the holy city of Jia Ma, the relationship gradually faded..."

"Today, the guest who came to Xiao's house was Nalan Yanran. Besides that, there were people from the Misty Cloud Sect."

"Yunlan Sect?"

Xiao Yan didn't understand why the Misty Cloud Sect was suddenly involved. He still knew about the number one sect of the Jia Ma Empire.

"As far as I know, Nalan Yanran has already joined the Misty Cloud Sect and has become the direct disciple of the Sect Master." Butler Mo told Xiao Yan everything he knew, and remained silent for a while, watching Looking at the young man in front of him who he watched grow up, he said in a deep voice: "Third young master, I am afraid that the person who comes today is not kind, and I hope the third young master will treat it with caution."

"Thank you, Butler Mo!"

Xiao Yan nodded to Butler Mo.

The atmosphere of the Xiao family really made him feel extremely comfortable, not only the encouragement from the young leaders yesterday, but also the words of concern from Butler Mo at this moment.

……

In the Xiao family hall, Xiao Zhan was holding a teacup and drinking tea lightly. Not far away, three elders were talking with a strange old man. However, this old man seemed to have something unspeakable. The words that come to my mouth will be swallowed helplessly, and every time at this time, the delicate girl beside me can't help but give the old man a glance...

It wasn't until Xiao Yan was brought here by Butler Mo that Xiao Zhan waved to Xiao Yan.

"Yan'er, come here!"

Xiao Yan responded, and obediently walked to Xiao Zhan's side. As Xiao Yan approached, the strange old man and young girl all cast their eyes on him.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the old man who had his eyes on Xiao Yan, and said lightly: "Mr. Ge Ye, you don't need to exchange pleasantries anymore, just tell us the purpose of today's trip."

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Ge Ye couldn't help but hesitate, and then stopped talking to the three elders, stood up straight and cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Xiao's eyes are like torches. I have lied to Patriarch Xiao, this time I came to the noble family mainly to ask for something!"

"Is it about Nalan's niece?" Xiao Zhan spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Ge Ye was taken aback again.

The bottom of my heart can't help but slander, you have already guessed my purpose, so what do you want me to say?

But on the surface, he still kept smiling.

Nalan Yanran on the other side was not so calm. Ge Ye's twitching had already made her a little unhappy. Now, seeing Xiao Zhan mentioning herself, she immediately walked out, and said in a clear voice: "Xiao Zhan Uncle, I came to Xiao's house today because I really wanted to discuss something with Uncle Xiao Zhan!"
