After a verbal exchange between the two, the long staircase finally came to an end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Glancing at Rong Qingxuan's somewhat gloomy face, Xu Yan also knew how lethal his words just now would be to this arrogant woman, but there was no way, there was still half a month to go, and the enrollment ceremony of Yanmen would be held. When the time comes, once he leaves home, the safety of the family will become the only knot in his heart. After all, the Xu family has just experienced strong winds and waves, and urgently needs a period of stable development as a buffer, and only by relying on the Rong family, which has a strong backer, can the Xu family provide a stable development environment during this period.
Therefore, Xu Yan can only be ruthless with this woman, even if he offends her, it doesn't matter. This is not because he has the backing of the Crescent Alliance, but for the sake of his relatives, he is willing to offend anyone.
"Since you have such a strong reliance, why don't you personally protect the Xu family, you have to make it so complicated, and you have to involve the Rong family. Gently pursing the corners of her mouth, Rong Qingxuan seemed to be a little angry.
She is a proud woman, and every aspect of her plan will be extremely precise. However, the road is one foot high and the demon is one foot high, and he has been suppressed like this today, and even the other party is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. All kinds of gaps were forced down, only making her feel depressed, and her voice became much worse than usual.
"The powerful have powerful troubles, and the emperor is far away, so they can't provide direct protection to the Xu family. Xu Yan shrugged his shoulders, and said in a slightly joking voice: "I have also thought about the forces that can be relied on here, but after thinking about it, it seems that there are beautiful women to accompany them, and there is no one else except the Rong family." ”
If it was placed in the past, being so light and thin by a man, Rong Qingxuan would definitely show the cruel side of a woman and torture it to death. But now, she didn't have this thought, thinking back to the conversation between Xu Yan and her just now, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally, a trace of indignation flashed over that beautiful face, and she stretched out her small fist very unreservedly and smashed Xu Yan's back lightly and heavily.
Xu Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and there was some surprise on his face.
It's not because this woman of the Rong family beat herself, but the head of the Rong family, who has always been as noble as Aolian, would show the shyness of such a little woman, which is really shocking.
With a punch, Rong Qingxuan seemed to have noticed his gaffe, his delicate face, a shy flush floated, and his silver teeth were secretly bitten, bastard, he was actually confused by a young guy.
"Women, indeed, are fickle animals. Xu Yan rubbed his slightly aching head and decided to stop speaking sensibly.
Rong Qingxuan is not an ordinary person, just for a moment, the anger in her heart disappeared completely, she thought a little, since the words have been said now, then the top priority is to win the favor of the other party.
"If the two of them were offended just now, I hope you don't take it to heart. Even if he apologized, Rong Qingxuan could say it generously: "The fact that you are a beast tamer is only known to a few upper-level figures in the Rong family. Without your consent, we dare not make a big announcement. So even if it's the Rong family, there are many people who don't know you. ”
Rong Qingxuan's voice was very earnest, and what she said was the truth. For some reason, in the face of such a young and old guy, she has always been a little nervous in her state of mind that has experienced great storms.
"Thank you. Xu Yan said with a little gratitude. He knows what is important, and now he has to ask others, and there is no need to put himself in a high position. What's more, the other party's approach is indeed very self-conscious.
Hearing this, Rong Qingxuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately raised his head slightly, looked at a closed door in front of him, was slightly silent, and then said, "This is it." ”
"Hmm. Xu Yan answered, and was about to push the door in.
"Wait. Rong Qingxuan reached out and gently pinched Xu Yan's arm, and said softly: "Let me remind you first, that second-order beast tamer has a very strange temper and is empty-eyed, but because of his identity, we still try not to provoke him." Bear with it if you can. ”
Rong Qingxuan's tone was not like an exhortation, but more like a compromise and pleading.
Beast tamer, she can't afford to provoke anyone, no matter who angers, she can only suffer.
A second-order animal trainer?
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Yan's mouth, and he broke free from Rong Qingxuan's arm and pushed the door directly.
In the large reception room, there are no extravagant decorations. There are only a few sandalwood tables and chairs, neatly arranged in the center of the reception room.
At this moment, there are already five people waiting in the reception room. Four of them were all dressed in the same purple suits, with a word of honor embroidered on their chests with gold thread. Xu Yan just glanced at it, and he understood that these people should be the people who Rong Qingxuan said were responsible for protecting them.
In addition, there was another person, about thirty years old, with clear eyebrows and a thin body, wearing a pale blue robe, and on his chest, two bright red animal heads were drawn, and in the bright light, flashing aggressive and dazzling colors, this symbol was the status symbol of the second-level animal trainer.
I don't know if the wait was too long, but there was a palpable impatience on this person's slightly sickly pale face.
"Hehe, I've kept you waiting. Rong Qingxuan chuckled to ease the dull atmosphere, stretched out her slender hand gently, pointed to a chair next to her nobly and elegantly, and said softly to Xu Yan: "Please." ”
Xu Yan nodded, walked to the designated position, and was just about to sit down. His brows suddenly furrowed, his head subconsciously turned to the left, and almost at the same time, at the place where he had paused, a black shadow mixed with sharp speed, roared, and finally clicked, and was firmly embedded in the hard wall.
Turning his head to look at the wall that was spreading out of cracks, Xu Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of cold killing intent. The other party used this kind of force, obviously there was no spare hand, if he had reacted slower just now, I am afraid that the hole would bloom on his head.
His eyes slowly deflected, and Xu Yan looked at the person who attacked him, who was the second-level beast tamer with a lazy face.
Of course, Rong Qingxuan also noticed Xu Yan's gradually cold eyes, his heart twitched slightly, and he quickly reached out and pulled Xu Yan's palm, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Feeling the soft feeling coming from the palm of his hand, Xu Yan exhaled lightly, made a rough calculation in his heart, and did not attack on the spot, pulled the chair out backwards, and then sat down.
"If you didn't dodge that stone just now, then you wouldn't be sorry to die. The second-level beast trainer smiled casually, and his voice was a little playful: "Your strength is not bad, you can barely protect me." But you made me wait so long, and if you don't give you some punishment, it can't be justified after all. ”
Hearing this, Rong Qingxuan's cheeks were obviously stunned, it turned out that this guy was treating Xu Yan as a guard to protect him.
"Young Master Bai, you're wrong, this little brother is ......." Rong Qingxuan had a polite smile on the corner of her mouth, and was just about to explain Xu Yan's identity, but she saw a white palm raised, and she just said the words she had just said, and gambled back.
"Punishment?" Xu Yan sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, your current strength is probably only the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, right? ”
Xu Yan's words made a look of astonishment appear on the face of the young master Bai, but it quickly turned into gloom. As a second-order animal tamer, it was the first time he had heard someone speak disrespectfully to him.
Not only him, but the faces of the Rong family's guards also changed, and their dull eyes stared at Xu Yan's body. Offending the second-order beast trainer, doesn't this kid want to live?
"Good boy. His eyes were filled with endless resentment, Young Master Bai laughed angrily, and then swept the guards around him with cold eyes, and ordered: "Kill this kid directly for me, I don't need this kind of disrespectful guard!"
Hearing this, the sneer on the corner of Xu Yan's mouth was even worse.
Who are you going to kill casually? Who are you?
The guards looked hesitant and looked at Rong Qingxuan together, but saw the latter shaking his head slightly, which made them stay in place for a while, not knowing what to do.
"You don't cooperate?" Young Master Bai said angrily, and then turned his gaze to Rong Qingxuan, and his tone was cold: "Miss Rong, it seems that you don't want to cooperate with me anymore." ”
Gently kneading her temples with her slender hand, Rong Qingxuan couldn't help but secretly curse the bastard in her heart, but the overall situation was important, she still maintained that intoxicating smile on her face, and said softly: "Young Master Bai, you misunderstood, this little brother is also a beast trainer, and he was invited by me to go with you to capture the three-pupiled demon fox." ”
"He's also a beast tamer?" his pupils shrank slightly, and Young Master Bai's face softened a little, if the other party was also a beast tamer, then he couldn't be too arrogant.
"You don't seem to have mentioned this person to me before, right?" His eyes swept over Xu Yan with a slight suspicion, and Young Master Bai's tone was slightly disbelieving. After all, Xu Yan's age is really young, and it is a bit unusual. Even he only became a first-order beast tamer at the age of twenty-five, and the other party looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the clear sense of disparity between the two sides made his arrogant heart very uncomfortable.
"This little brother is something I happened to meet today. Even I didn't know his name before. Rong Qingxuan smiled indifferently, and then changed her words: "Originally, I called everyone over today to discuss the next step. But now, with this little brother joining, we can skip these cumbersome steps and get straight to the point. ”
Hearing Rong Qingxuan's words, Young Master Bai unexpectedly calmed down. He wasn't an idiot, and since the other party was also an animal trainer, it wouldn't necessarily be good to expand the situation. Although he also has a good backstage, the other party is not necessarily worse than him.
Xu Yan also had no idea of continuing to argue. The two of them looked at each other casually, and they both saw the unfriendliness in the depths of each other's pupils, rubbing against each other, and bursting out with some sparks of hostility.
