Chapter 5 It’s Broken, I’m a Substitute

Seeing the shocked look in Nalan Yanran's eyes, Xiao Yuan didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. Although this proud daughter of the Yunlan Sect was indeed beautiful and talented, in front of him who now had the ability to practice, There are almost no advantages left.

But after all, they are also guests. Now that the eldest and second brothers are not at home, he, the third young master, naturally knows how to treat guests, so he smiled at Nalan Yanran, who finally came to her senses.

Nalan Yanran wanted to keep a sullen face, but after seeing the charming smile on Xiao Yuan's handsome and handsome face, her heart beat faster for no reason. A blush appeared, which immediately attracted the eyes of the surrounding teenagers who were secretly observing.

"Father, three elders!"

Xiao Yuan stood still, and Xiao Yan behind him also stopped. Immediately, the two of them saluted the four people on the stage almost simultaneously, and said in unison.

"Haha, Yuan'er and Yan'er are here, sit down quickly."

Looking at his two upright sons, Xiao Zhan nodded with a smile and waved.

"Yes, father!"

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan still responded in unison, and immediately Xiao Yuan led Xiao Yan towards the right.

But there was only one empty stool there, in front of Xiao Xun'er, and it was also the seat where only the elders with the right to speak in the first row of the clan could sit.

That was the seat reserved for Xiao Yuan.

Through the management of the market for the past three years, although Xiao Yuan was somewhat looked down upon by his peers in terms of cultivation, the elders in the clan did not dare to neglect him. After all, it is said that the intermediate market under Xiao Yuan's jurisdiction will soon be In the city level evaluation every three years, be promoted to a high-level city.

Moreover, a quarter of Xiaojiafang City's total revenue now comes from the mid-level city under Xiao Yuan's jurisdiction.

If it weren't for his lack of qualifications and his inability to practice, he might have been ranked a few higher.

But Xiao Yan is an old hapless man. The original genius has now become a waste, and he has been "shamelessly" receiving the family's training resources, but his strength cannot improve, and his reputation within the clan is extremely poor.

So right now, there isn't even a seat for Xiao Yan in the hall.

"Brother Xiao Yan, come and sit here!"

Seeing the reminder in Xiao Yuan's eyes when he came over, Xiao Xun'er immediately understood and said with a slight smile.

A tacit understanding like this began three years ago after Xiao Yan's strength began to decline and he suffered a lot of criticism and exclusion.

In a sense, Xiao Yuan is Xiao Xun'er's wingman in attacking Xiao Yan.

After all, only in this way can he get a lot of start-up capital from the hands of Xun'er, a rich little woman, with peace of mind.

Xiao Yan naturally saw his situation at a glance. He was originally following the third brother, but he was still worried that the third brother would leave his seat to himself as usual, and then he lightly glanced at the elders in the clan who did not have the right to speak as he did. , signaling the other party to get out of their own way and give up their seats.

But it's better now. It's quite nice to be able to sit next to Xun'er.

"You go and sit next to Xun'er. It's inconvenient for me to be too public when there are guests."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's whispered instructions, Xiao Yan hummed softly. After Xiao Yuan sat down, he passed Xiao Yuan and came to Xiao Xun'er's side. He sat down and said with a low smile: "You helped me out again. ”

Hearing the whispers behind him, Xiao Yuan smiled. This silly boy didn't realize that every time Xun'er was around, did he always have a reason not to help him out?

As for the subsequent topic of warming and nourishing the meridians between the two, Xiao Yuan didn't care much. After all, Xiao Yuancai was the first to experience this method, or he was Xiao Yan's test subject.

After all, being unable to practice Dou Qi is really rare in Dou Qi Continent, and because they are brothers, the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan have been close since childhood.

So after the cultivation talent emerged, Xiao Yan tried it once on Xiao Yuan, but the effect was not satisfactory. The second time, Xiao Yuan stopped Xiao Yan's useless behavior.

If you have that time, you might as well practice more Dou Qi and let Yao Lao suck it. If Yao Lao was extremely powerful from the beginning, then Yunlan Sect would be nothing!

It's a pity that a certain old man is actually awake now, but he has no intention of taking action.

Later, Xiao Yuan discovered that the strange old man always seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something unspeakable.

To be honest, if it was a pretty girl, it might look more pleasing to the eye.

But it's really disgusting for an old man to be so coquettish.

Nalan Yanran on the side was not in a hurry. Instead, her eyes secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan from time to time, with a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Before coming, she heard that of the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, one had no talent for cultivation and only had a good-looking body; the other had somehow regressed in talent for cultivation and was almost useless now.

And what about herself? The proud daughter of heaven, with excellent talent, is now a three-star fighter, not to mention, she has become the disciple of Yun Yun, the master of Yunlan Sect, and has become his only disciple.

In the Fighting Continent, strength is respected, not to mention that the girl was not satisfied with the arranged marriage. She was not willing to marry a loser she had never met.

Although he is really handsome, handsomeness cannot be used as fighting spirit!

But it is hard to blame anyone for this. When the marriage contract was made, the two old men thought that the children of the two families would be childhood sweethearts in the future. With such a relationship, a marriage contract would be a good thing, which would be considered a closer relationship.

Who would have thought that in the third year after Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were born, the grandfather of the two brothers was seriously injured and died in a battle with the enemy. After losing the support of the top strongman in the family, the Xiao family had to move to Wutan City.

At that time, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were still young, so they naturally did not tell them in detail about the marriage contract, so they only knew about it roughly. As for who the man of the marriage contract was, Xiao Yuan thought it was Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan thought it was Xiao Yuan.

So neither of the brothers cared much about the marriage contract.

So, after the two families almost lost contact, the necessary conditions of childhood sweethearts were not met, and Nalan Yanran had reached the age of rebellion. In addition, the girl had her own criteria for judging a good man in her heart, and she was strong-willed, so she naturally would not marry a waste.

Although Nalan Yanran was shocked by Xiao Yuan's appearance after seeing him in person, she hesitated about breaking off the engagement, but after a struggle between heaven and man, Nalan Yanran still made a choice.

She has worked hard to cultivate over the years and finally entered the Yunlan Sect. Now she has become the young master of the sect, just to be able to control her own destiny and make her own decisions.

If she gave up this matter just because of the other party's good appearance, wouldn't she have worked so hard for so many years in vain?

She must break off this marriage today!

At this time, behind Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, who knew the purpose of Nalan Yanran's visit through Xiao Xun'er, was a little indignant: Nalan Yanran was simply too much!

But soon, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan's back with some worry.

If the woman wanted to cancel the engagement, she could go to the door and discuss the matter privately. There must be a perfect solution. After all, he still understands his third brother's temperament and ideas.

But if she really wants to use the power of the Yunlan Sect to force the marriage to be broken off in such an occasion today, the nature is completely different.

That was not only a break-off of the engagement, but also a slap in the face of Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yuan's father and the head of the Xiao family.

You know, when it comes to matters related to his family, the third brother is the living Shura.

Little did he know that Xiao Yuan, who was sitting in front, was also in a trance after hearing the conversation between the two. Although it sounded very reasonable for him, as the third brother, to take on this engagement, in this case, wouldn't he become a substitute?

How could he increase Xiao Yan's strength now?

On the other side, under the hint of Nalan Yanran's eyes, who was determined to break off the engagement, the strange old man finally stood up.
