The sun is shining, the breeze is caressing, today's weather is very good, the sun is not very hot, the gusts of wind blowing on the face, very comfortable, the birds seem to have forgotten to forage, stop their busy steps, and chirp happily in the trees.

Suddenly, a loud laugh broke the rare calm, and the birds in the trees flew in all directions and flew away from the place.

"Nalan family master, you are finally here, go inside, the banquet has been prepared inside, today take advantage of this good day, let us get drunk and rest." At the gate, Xiao Zhan smiled and invited Nalan Ji and the others to enter.

Nalan Ji laughed when he heard this, and said: "I'm ashamed, it's really a sin to let Xiao Zhan, brother you wait for a long time, oh yes, this is Danwang Guhe, this is the little granddaughter Yanran." ”

"Brother Xiao, we meet again." Danwang Guhe, who was standing next to Nalan Ji, heard Nalan Ji's words and hurriedly clenched his fists and spoke.

"Hmm" Xiao Zhan saw the ancient river, nodded, and led them inside.

When Xiao Zhan led Nalan Ji and Guhe into the Xiao family, Ye Yun had already found a good place to watch the play, but he was not an important figure in the Xiao family, so he was not qualified to enter the hall, but the hall was relatively large, and there were not only four or five tables in it, but more than ten or twenty tables as in the play, and the location Ye Yun was looking for was a corner closer to the door.

Xiao Zhan knew that the Nalan family was going to withdraw from the marriage, but he still insisted on holding this engagement banquet, because he knew that his son Xiao Yan was not the material to become a fighter, if there was no accident, he could only live an ordinary life in this life, but he was the eldest young master of the Xiao family, and he was destined to not be able to live an ordinary life, so he decided to take a risk, bet that the Nalan family would have face and would not break the contract, so that once Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran got married, even if Xiao Yan was really just an ordinary person in the future, with Nalan Yanran behind him, can barely support the entire Xiao family.

It's a pity that he lost the bet, Nalan Yan didn't want his granddaughter Nalan Yanran to marry his son Xiao Yan, but wanted Nalan Yanran to marry someone more powerful, such as the disciple of Danwang Guhe and the like.

After everyone sat down, the banquet soon began, Xiao Zhan and Nalan Yan greeted each other, and then they recalled the past years, touting how the other party was in the past, and after touting it, they slowly turned the topic to juniors, such as Xiao Yan, such as Nalan Yanran.

Perhaps thinking that the time was almost up, Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Yan with a smile: "Xiao Yan, today is a good day for you to get engaged to Yanran, and you will be a grandson-in-law in the future, and you must be even more filial, now you will give you a cup of Grandpa Nalan." ”

Xiao Yan, who had been waiting a little impatiently, heard this, and suddenly with a happy smile on his face, he picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up, bent down with the wine glass and said respectfully to Nalan Ji: "Grandpa, this glass of wine, I respect you." ”

According to the etiquette, if Nalan Yan agreed to Xiao Yan's marriage with Nalan Yanran, he would take this glass of wine, but Nalan Yan was silent, he neither refused nor agreed, just looked at Xiao Yan silently, and didn't say anything.

Xiao Yan thought that his etiquette was not thoughtful enough, so he was stunned for a moment, walked out of his seat, bent down and saluted again: "Grandpa, this glass of wine, I respect you." ”

Silence, the answer to Xiao Yan was still silent, at this time Xiao Yan also understood, Nalan Yan was probably unwilling to let him marry Nalan Yanran as his wife, but he still had a trace of illusion, so he took the wine glass, walked to Nalan Yan's table step by step, bowed again, and said, "Grandpa, this glass of wine, I respect you." ”

Xiao Yan has done this, and Nalan Ji is no longer indifferent, so he had to reach out and take the wine glass in Xiao Yan's hand, but after taking the wine glass, he did not drink the wine, but put it on the table and covered it with his hand.

Sitting in his place on the side, Furukawa, who was holding a folding fan, saw this, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan, when your grandfather finishes speaking, it's not too late to talk to this glass of wine." ”

Ye Yun felt that the line was a little weird when he was watching TV, as if everyone called Nalan Ji Grandpa, and now that he saw the ready-made version, he felt much better with the addition of the word you, and when Ye Yun complained silently, Nalan Ji spoke.

Nalan Jian sighed in the world, and then spoke: "The Nalan family has declined. ”

When Xiao Zhan heard this, he said with a smile: "Patriarch Nalan, you don't need to say such things, today's big day, as long as our two families can unite as one..."

However, before Xiao Zhan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Nalan Ji raising his hand, and said: "Little (Xiao) brother, the Nalan family has declined, I am seventy-nine this year, I am old, Yanran's father has no talents, I only have such a granddaughter, she is still qualified to become a talent, seven years ago on the expedition to the Soul Palace, all the elite fighters sent by the Nalan family did not come back, one of my sons has also become a cripple, a huge family, full of eyes, in fact, it is just an empty shell, thinking of the dangers that I will face in the future, I can't sleep at night, Brother Xiao." ”

"The five major families, that is, to unite, but also to protect themselves, this is no way to do it, my little granddaughter Yanran, she is the last hope of the Nalan family, he wants to find a better support, she can't marry Xiao Yan."

Seeing this, Nalan Jian raised his voice several times, and said loudly: "The bride price of the Xiao family, my Nalan family, will return ten times, today's banquet is not an engagement banquet, it is an alliance banquet, from now on, every grass and tree of the Xiao family will be protected by the Nalan family, if anyone can't go with the Xiao family, I, Nalan Ji, will be the first to let him go." ”

There were many discussions at the bottom, and Guhe was the first to open his mouth to support Nalan Ji, saying: "The old man is in a high position, and it is rare to have this responsibility for his friends." ”

Hearing Guhe open his mouth to support himself, Nalan Ji stretched out his hand to ask someone to take the marriage contract, and said: "This is a marriage contract, give the old man a little face, and ask Brother Xiao to take it back." ”

As soon as Nalan Yan's words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke, and at this moment, Nalan Yanran, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, finally spoke, and said to Xiao Zhan: "Uncle Xiao, someone has to take responsibility for such a thing as repentance, if it weren't for saving the face of the Xiao family, my grandfather would have forcibly withdrawn from the marriage." ”

Speaking of this, Nalan Yanran turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yan, and said again: "Xiao Yan, I, Nalan Yanran, have withdrawn from this marriage today, but in order to save the face of the Xiao family, we can make a three-year contract, and after three years, you can come to Yunlan Sect to challenge me, if you win, I, Nalan Yanran, will be a slave, but if you lose, this marriage contract will be mentioned again." ”

Xiao Yan was just a teenager, and now he knew that he was not a waste material, but a genius, and he had also been taught by the Heavenly Rank Fighting Technique and the Medicine Venerable.
