Chapter 759: It Turns Out She's Not A Thief
"The wormhole is gone, it looks like we're going to stay in the Douqi Continent for a while." Luo Tianyi looked at the empty woods and said with a helpless expression.
"Well, fortunately, we are on the side of the protagonist, so it should be fine." Ji Ran nodded and said to Luo Tianyi with relief.
The wormhole was not found, and there were many demonic beasts in the Warcraft Forest, so it was not advisable to stay for a long time, so the group returned to the Xiao family on the same day.
However, when Ji Ran and Luo Tianyi returned to Xiao's house, they saw that something was not quite right in the atmosphere.
I saw that the Xiao family's compound was empty, and everyone seemed to have evaporated, but I didn't see a single person.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ning was the first to react, "Oops, I forgot, something big is going to happen today." ”
"Huh? What's the big deal? Ji Ran asked curiously.
"Sister Xiao Ran didn't know, just a few days ago, a letter from Yunlan Sect was sent to our family, my grandfather was also present at the time, the letter said that Nalan Yanran and a master of Yunlan Sect were coming to our Xiao family as a guest, saying that they were guests, in fact, everyone could see that they were coming to withdraw from the marriage, Nalan Yanran once had a marriage contract with Xiao Yanzi of our family, which was a marriage contract with the Nalan family when the old patriarch was alive.
If Xiao Yanzi had been a genius like three years ago, maybe this marriage could still become a reality, but Xiao Yanzi has regressed rapidly in recent years, almost becoming a waste, but that Nalan Yanran has improved her strength, and she has become a proud protégé of Yunlan Sect. Xiao Ning explained seriously to Ji Ran.
Hearing Xiao Ning's explanation, Ji Ran also immediately recalled, remembering that it was indeed written in the book, that the Dou Po Firmament, which was popular on the earth, was compiled by Li Hu based on his own experience of traveling, so everything recorded in his book was everything that really happened in this Douqi Continent.
Perhaps when traveling through the wormhole, time and space were confused, so Ji Ran came to Xiao Yan's youth.
"Repentance? Isn't the Xiao family going to be embarrassed? When Luo Tianyi heard about the repentance, he also felt that the Xiao family was about to run into trouble.
Regretting marriage, let alone in the traditional vindictive continent, even on the earth in the 21st century, it is a very shameful thing.
What's more, the Xiao family is not a small family, a big family with hundreds of people, if someone comes to the door to withdraw from the marriage, then how can they have the face to mix in Utan City in the future?
However, something had happened, and Ji Ran couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the Xiao family.
"Sister Xiaoran, I'm sorry, I'm going to take a look, after all, it's our Xiao family's business, as a Xiao family, I can't stand idly by." Xiao Ning said to Ji Ran.
"Yes, okay, let's go." Ji Ran nodded, and watched Xiao Ning and the surrounding Xiao family members leave.
Luo Tianyi looked at Ji Ran strangely, "Sister Xiao Ran, is the Yunlan Sect very powerful?" Why is the Xiao family so nervous? ”
"Well, the Yunlan Sect is indeed very powerful, far from being comparable to a small family like the Xiao family, however, with Xiao Zhan, it shouldn't be a big problem, at least he is now a powerhouse at the peak of the Dou Emperor's strength, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a small Yunlan Sect." Ji Ran whispered.
These words can only be said to Luo Tianyi in private, if this reaches the ears of the Xiao family, I am afraid that I will think that Ji Ran is crazy.
Except for Ji Ran and Luo Tianyi, no one in the Xiao family knows Xiao Zhan's true strength now, and they all think that Xiao Zhan is just a big fighter.
"Are you really okay?" Luo Tianyi was still a little uneasy.
"It's really fine." Ji Ran smiled and nodded, she was still quite confident in Xiao Zhan, although she had only known each other for two days, but through a series of contacts, she found that Xiao Zhan was still very reliable in doing things, and it should be easy to deal with an opponent like Yun Lanzong.
The two were talking, suddenly, a young man walked out angrily, only to see that his hand was injured, the palm of his hand seemed to be cut by a knife, and there was blood flowing down, although it was very painful, but he stubbornly endured it and did not let himself shed a single tear.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor boy, Nalan Yanran, you wait, one day you will regret it." The young man clenched his silver teeth and said angrily.
"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Yan, wait for me." At this time, behind the young man, a handsome girl in purple chased after him, and after catching up with the young man, the two left side by side.
"Sister Xiao Ran, who are those two children who just passed?" Luo Tianyi asked in the direction of Xiao Yan's departure.
"It should be Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er." Ji Ran replied.
"Xiao Yan, I know, it's the son of the patriarch Xiao Zhan, but what about Xiao Xun'er? Is she Xiao Yan's sister? Luo Tianyi asked curiously, judging from Xiao Xun'er's concern for Xiao Yan just now, there is nothing wrong with saying that she is a sister.
However, Xiao Xun'er is not Xiao Yan's sister, but the daughter of a larger family, and her maiden family is much stronger than the Xiao family.
"Huh? Is the gap so big? Then why does Xiao Xun'er live in a small family like the Xiao family? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the original family? After Luo Tianyi listened to Ji Ran's explanation, he couldn't help but ask.
"That's because Xiao Xun'er's family wants the Xiao family's Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, so they sent Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao family, hoping that she can find an opportunity to steal the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade." Ji Ran explained to Luo Tianyi.
"Huh? Such a beautiful little girl, it turned out to be a thief? Luo Tianyi said in surprise.
"Actually, you can't say that, it's just a task for Xiao Xun'er by the ancient clan, but in the original book, Xiao Xun'er was too affectionate for Xiao Yan, so she didn't steal the ancient emperor jade of Tuoshe, on the contrary, she also helped Xiao Yan again and again, and overall, she is still a very good girl." Ji Ran explained to Luo Tianyi.
"I see?" Luo Tianyi seemed to understand.
While the two were talking, suddenly, a light flashed in the hall not far away, followed by a thunderous roar surging over like a wave, and then, an old man in a white robe and a pair of young men and women fled from the Xiao family hall in a hurry, and left in a hurry without staying too long.
"Sister Xiao Ran, who are those people just now?" Luo Tianyi asked.
"It must be the mysterious master of the Yunlan Sect, as well as Xiao Yan's fiancée Nalan Yanran, and her little concubine." Ji Ran looked at the direction in which Nalan Yanran left and said.
