Chapter 164: Engagement (1)
Sunrise and sunset, in a blink of an eye, seven days have passed since Xiao Yan left the customs. Today's sky is exceptionally clear, without a trace of floating, as if it has been filtered out of a qiē variegated color, and the blue is refreshing.
The Xiao Mansion is full of lights, each red lantern has a 'Xi' character on it, and every tree is full of red and gold ribbons, and joy is full of joy on everyone's face.
In the inner mansion, Zhen Ni asked Xiao Yan with a smile: 'How is it, are you still satisfied with the new clothes that Sister Xiao Qi and I specially prepared for you?' ”
'You and Qi'er specially chosen, how dare I be dissatisfied! Gently tugging at a luxurious red wedding robe with gold trim, a little bitterness appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, "But seriously, I'm used to wearing a black robe, and now I'm really not used to wearing such a dress." ”
'Giggles, I can't help you today. Zhen Ni and Xiao Qi looked at each other and smiled, and everyone laughed too.
Xiao Yan, who was looked up and down by everyone and looked left and right, suddenly frowned slightly, and his soul power captured the movement from the wormhole.
'Big brother, they're coming, let's go and meet them.' ”
There was still some distance from the wormhole connected to the Demon Emperor's Mansion, and five figures appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Qing Haoran walked in front with Qing Mu'er, who was a little shy in his right hand.
Qing Mu'er has obviously been carefully dressed up today, with a light sweep of her eyebrows and eyes, her complexion is as delicate as warm jade, her cherry mouth is delicate, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks are gently brushed in the wind, adding a bit of seductive style and making Xiao Yan stunned.
Behind the two of them, they followed closely the three elders of the Blood Demon Clan.
On the left is the Second Elder, and on the right is the Fourth Elder in a blood-colored robe. An old man in red in the middle.
Isn't the old man in red in the middle the one who guards the door in the Blood Demon Clan? He was in the middle of the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder, could it be that his status was more respectable than that of the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder? Could it be that he is the Great Elder of the Blood Demon Clan? Then why didn't he come to the council hall when he went to the Blood Demon Clan to deliver the Blood Demon Order? A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yan's heart.
But this is not the time to be confused, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised and hurriedly stepped forward with everyone to greet him.
'The eldest brother and the three elders came to the Xiao Mansion in person. Xiao Yan was honored. ”
The old man in red and the second elder also hugged their fists in return, smiling like a spring breeze. Especially the old man in red, looking at Xiao Yan nodding frequently, he seemed to be extremely satisfied with Xiao Yan.
But the four elders only nodded imperceptibly, staring at Xiao Yan with a pair of eyes, and the invisible pressure pressed on Xiao Yan like a mountain.
Although the two had a relationship, and the four elders were very polite to Xiao Yan at that time. There was even a little appreciation, but that was because Xiao Yan had great kindness to the Blood Demon Clan. Now, Qing Mu'er, who is regarded as a granddaughter by the four elders, will be happy in her life. Therefore, even if Qing Haoran highly respected Xiao Yan, even if the four elders knew that Xiao Yan was as kind to the Blood Demon Clan, but he was gracious. Love for love. No matter how great the kindness is, he can't repay the happiness of Qing Mu'er's life, and the four elders can't help but want to take the test and test Xiao Yan.
'Is this a test, or do you think I'm not worthy of Mu'er, so you give me a horse? Slightly stunned, Xiao Yan's heart flashed with a trace of displeasure, but his face did not show any emotion, and a pair of eyes looked at the four elders without fear.
Could it be that this Fourth Elder of the Eight Star Dou Emperor was dissatisfied with Xiao Yan? The Eight-Star Dou Emperor, after the ancient catastrophe, no one broke through to the Dou Emperor Continent of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor, and he was the pinnacle of the high. Such a character has an absolute right to speak in any force. If this fourth elder is dissatisfied with Xiao Yan and then opposes Xiao Yan's engagement to Qing Mu'er, it will be really troublesome. The joy of the crowd sank, and their hearts rose at once.
'Fourth grandfather! Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly staring behind him with a solemn expression, Qing Mu'er turned around to look, and immediately stomped his feet in a hurry, and called the four elders coquettishly.
'This is distressing, huh? The fourth elder suddenly turned his eyes on Xiao Yan doting on Qing Mu'er as if he had met a nemesis, "Fourth Grandpa just wants to test how real your future husband, who is known as a first-day talent under the five-star, is worthy of our Mu'er." ”
Only then did everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they couldn't help but secretly refresh in their hearts: just with this four-star Dou Emperor's four elders doting on Qing Mu'er like this, whoever dares to touch Xiao Yan in the future, he will definitely not give up, right?
Xiao Yan didn't have such a mind as everyone else, and he was fighting a cold war in his heart when he slowly retracted his eyes: "The Eight-Star Dou Emperor is the Eight Star Dou Emperor, a glance at each other can make people feel timid, if it weren't for my firm heart, I'm afraid I would have made a fool of myself at that moment just now." ”
'What does the fourth grandfather think now?' Glancing at the silent Xiao Yan, Qing Mu'er did not give up, and asked the four elders with a puffed mouth.
Mu'er actually wanted to ask an eight-star Dou Emperor for a satisfactory result in public for herself, Xiao Yan's heart felt warm, and her feelings for Qing Mu'er deepened a little.
The fourth elder smiled embarrassedly and said, "Just because he dares to look at the old man without showing timidity, the old man is very satisfied." ”
Xiao Yan's hanging heart finally let go, and the previous trace of displeasure towards the four elders also disappeared with the bloom of Qing Mu'er's happy smile.
Qing Haoran smiled and turned sideways slightly, "Come on, let me introduce it to you." ”
After introducing everyone one by one, Qing Haoran couldn't help but joke about Xiao Yanlai: "How is it, Mu'er is beautiful today, right?" ”
'Mu'er is already very beautiful, but today it is even more gorgeous and moving......,' Xiao Yan replied truthfully, and a few blushes appeared on his face that was rarely shy.
Hearing Xiao Yan praise herself in public, Qing Mu'er immediately blushed, lowered her head and secretly looked at Xiao Yan, without saying a word, her heart was full of happiness.
"If you have anything to say in the hall, if you still let the Demon Emperor and the three elders stand here and talk, I am afraid that if it spreads, people will say that my Xiao Mansion is not very hospitable." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yan and Qing Mu'er were a little embarrassed, Zhen Ni hurriedly led everyone to the hall of the Xiao Mansion.
Taking a sip of tea, looking at the delicate and pretty appearance of Qing Mu'er, who was arranged to sit next to him, Xiao Yan felt that his throat was a little dry, and he forgot all the words he had been preparing since yesterday, and he didn't know how to speak after trying a few times, so he had to turn his eyes to Zhen Ni for help.
'What a wooden fellow!' Zhen Ni secretly 'hated' Xiao Yan at her, so she had to lightly open her lips and said: "The Blood Demon Clan and Xiao Fu are like a family, Zhen Ni won't say much polite words, today we will witness the engagement of Xiao Shao and Miss Mu'er, and wish them love each other and get married as soon as possible." ”
Bowing slightly, the second elder stroked his palms and smiled: "Xiao Yan has a great kindness to my Blood Demon Clan, and its potential is rare in the world, and over the years, he has given strong support to the development of my Blood Demon Clan in terms of financial resources, and it is a blessing for our two clans that he and Mu'er can form a good relationship!" ”
The old man in red looked at Qing Mu'er dotingly, and smiled a little reluctantly, "Mu'er was raised by me, just like my own biological great-granddaughter, I am very satisfied and relieved to be able to entrust her to Xiao Yan." ”
The fourth elder shook his head with the teacup and sighed: "Alas, the marriage is a good marriage, but Mu'er's engagement will definitely stay in the Xiao Mansion often and not go back, I am always a little reluctant in my heart." Then he glared at Xiao Yan and said sternly, "Boy, although we will be a family after you and Mu'er get engaged, if you dare to bully Mu'er, the old man will definitely pick your skin!" ”
'How can I be willing to bully her...... Xiao Yan sneered, and said in his heart that if she didn't bully me, I would be Amitabha.
Qing Mu'er hurriedly said good things for Xiao Yan: "Fourth grandfather, don't worry, the little liar has always been very good to me." ”
'Alas, it's really a big woman, and before she passed the door, she began to protect her husband. Qing Haoran couldn't help but joke, and Qing Mu'er was so ashamed that she quickly lowered her head and pulled the corner of her clothes vigorously.
Everyone laughed.
The fourth elder's face softened a lot, and he said to Xiao Yan, "As long as you are good to Mu'er, if you need the old man's help in the future, just come to the old man." ”
Everyone in Xiao Mansion was happy in their hearts, there was an eight-star Dou Emperor who was willing to stand up for Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan's future growth path would be much smoother. Zhen Ni hurriedly reminded Xiao Yan in a low voice, "Don't hurry up and thank the fourth elder." (To be continued......)
