Chapter 255: Challenge Him
After seeing many people appear in the main hall, Xing Yan gasped, his heart was a little impatient, he didn't expect that just going to an appointment would cause such a big movement, these people are probably all important members of the Ye family, right?
The old man in front of him slowly sat on the first seat, and beside him, the middle-aged man with a face like a knife also sat down calmly, and the eyes of the two slowly fell on Xing Yan, not knowing what to weigh. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The huge hall was silent, and after a long time, the old man on the first seat nodded, smiled at Xingyan, and said, "Well, it's indeed you, the outline is exactly the same as when you were a child, and you are born with a handsome face." ”
"Grandpa Ye has seen me?" Xingyan asked with some surprise.
"You may not have seen one when you were a child. The old man nodded, and after seeing Xingyan alone, he asked, "Just you?"
Hearing this, Xing Yan's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "His old man is very good now, but he hasn't come out of retreat for several years, so he asked me to come alone in advance, and his old man also asked me to greet you." ”
Xing Yan sighed secretly, these words were all made up by him, as for Grandpa Feng, even he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but seeing that the old man respected Grandpa Feng so much, it was better not to tell the truth, otherwise he would not have the name of Grandpa Feng as a backer, and the weight of his words would be very light.
According to his understanding, the old man in front of him was the person who signed the marriage contract with Grandpa Feng back then, named Ye Zong, but he was already old, and in recent years, he had given up the position of patriarch to Ye Lanyin's father, Ye Tian.
However, although Ye Zong has abdicated, just by the position he is sitting in, it can be seen that his status in the Ye family is still very high, and he has a certain right to speak, and everyone next to him is respectful and in awe of him.
Xing Yan's words made Ye Zong's eyes a little disappointed, but seeing that Xing Yan in front of him still met his requirements very well, he still smiled and said: "It's okay, like Feng Lao, a real powerhouse, is naturally a little different from us, you can come here when you have time in the future, and I am already very satisfied that you can come as promised today." ”
"Naturally, the marriage contract cannot be neglected, my grandfather can't come this time, I apologize to Grandpa Ye for him. Xingyan stood up straight and bowed to Ye Zong, according to his seniority, this salute is a must.
"Hehe, sit down, you don't need to be polite when you come here, let me introduce you first, this is Xiaoyin's father, Ye Tian, these are the elders of the Ye family, and ......"
Ye Zong was very excited, and patiently introduced all the high-ranking members of the clan to Xingyan, and every time he introduced Xingyan, he bowed, and did not dare to slack off.
After the introduction, there was already a lot of discussion in the field, and the eyes of many high-level executives fell on themselves, and they nodded with satisfaction after looking back and forth.
In addition to the older generation of the Ye family, those young boys and girls also cast their eyes on, looking seriously at this young man who has been engaged to Ye Lanyin since he was a child.
"He's Xingyan, who has a marriage contract with Lanyin's cousin, he's so handsome. ”
"That's right, I thought that the other party had forgotten about it for so many years, why didn't my father give me a marriage contract. ”
"You guys stop for a while, what's the use of being good-looking? The key is strength, although we don't know his family background, but looking at his dress, we know that he is from an ordinary background, and if he loses a certain amount of cultivation resources, I'm afraid his strength should not be very good." ”
Listening to the envious words of many girls in the clan, some young teenagers spoke disdainfully, they didn't say this all because of jealousy, after all, appearance is one thing, strength is also one thing, if the strength is not outstanding, not only will they look down on them, but they will also lose the face of the Ye family.
These conversations soon reached Xingyan's ears, but he didn't care, just sat calmly.
After Ye Zong had talked a lot, Ye Lanyin's father Ye Tian slowly stood up, he came to Xing Yan, and said with a smile with a staring gaze: "Xing Yan, welcome to the Ye family, it is better to come early than to come by chance, it will be Xiaoyin's coming-of-age ceremony in a few days, and then accompany her to participate, we are also going to invite all our friends to the Ye family on that day to complete the engagement ceremony between the two of you." ”
"Engagement ceremony?"
After hearing the last sentence, Xing Yan's eyes suddenly widened and he took a deep breath, he didn't expect this to be so hasty, and he didn't give himself a chance to explain and prepare.
Ye Tian frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"This ...... It's not, I just think this matter is too sudden, the junior is not prepared at all, and Uncle Tian doesn't plan to know me more?" Xingyan said slowly, he hadn't even seen Ye Lanyin yet, and he was about to complete the engagement, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
"Haha. Ye Tian smiled: "What else do you need to know? Our two families have been friends and in-laws since you were a child, and my father and Feng Lao have also been close friends for many years, what else do you need to know? But I know that rushing to get engaged may make you feel stressed." ”
"Isn't the senior going to ask the woman's opinion? After all, marriage is not child's play. ”
Xingyan exhaled, a little speechless, he didn't expect the other party to be so satisfied with him, including many aspects no longer asked, which made him a little dazed, how could he say the matter of refusing to get engaged?
Moreover, just now the younger generation of the Ye family also has a lot of opinions about themselves, strength is on the one hand, family background is on the other, don't Ye Zong and Ye Tian care?
"Xiaoyin shouldn't refuse, I hope you don't have to be pressured. Ye Tian arched his hand, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, as long as it could promote the marriage of the two.
And Ye Zong only has this will, although they don't know much about Xingyan now, but after all, the other party was cultivated by Feng Lao, and his strength should not be weaker than the genius in the family.
As for the background, behind Xing Yan, there is such a mysterious Feng Lao who is shrouded, which is enough for the Ye family to befriend without hesitation.
That's it?
Xing Yan was stunned, sat on the seat uncomfortably and pondered for a long time, but he didn't expect that after so many years, a marriage contract did not make the two parties feel the slightest rustiness, but looked very familiar, and there was no intention of negotiating at all, and it was a matter directly?
"Yes, it's just an engagement, just get used to it slowly, let's live here temporarily in the future, and enhance the relationship with Xiaoyin, she has just come back from training and is a little tired, so she doesn't have the energy to meet, and there will be opportunities these days." Ye Zong arched his hand.
"It's okay, then these days will be bothered. Xing Yan smiled and nodded, feeling a little helpless in his heart, originally came today to mention his thoughts to see if he could dissolve the marriage contract or delay the engagement, but he didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic that he didn't have a chance to shake his head.
"I can't explain it now. ”
Xing Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly, it was not that he was unwilling to make this marriage with Ye Lanyin, but he was unable to do it, she grew up in such a huge family, and her future prospects were limitless, if she was engaged to herself, she would be affected to some extent, and the burden on her body would also be shackled.
But what he meant Ye Zong and Ye Tian didn't understand, now that the date of engagement had been set, Xing Yan was also a person in the Ye family who couldn't refuse, and if he came to the credit of his grandfather who didn't keep the wind, he would lose the face of everyone in the Ye family.
"The old patriarch is too hasty, Cousin Lanyin hasn't seen Xingyan yet, how can you conclude that she has no opinion. ”
"Yes, although this is a marriage contract recognized by both parties, but after so many years, Cousin Lanyin has become so outstanding, she will definitely not nod because of a handsome face, at least she must show a certain strength. ”
"I think so too, I don't want to ask how demonic his cultivation talent is, but he is already an adult, and his strength must be at least higher than Lan Yin, otherwise we won't be convinced. ”
"Hehe, how can she be stronger than Lan Yin? You must know that now that she has returned from training, she has stepped into the peak of the late stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, and in my opinion, this kid has at most stepped into the Earth Spirit Realm. ”
After Ye Zong's speech ended, in the main hall, there was a commotion from the outer position, and as far as the eye could see, many young people were whispering, revealing disdainful glances.
Sensing this, Ye Zong's palm lightly slapped the tea table, immediately suppressing the atmosphere in the field, his gaze glanced at it, fell on a young man, and slowly asked, "Ye Xiao, what do you want to say?"
After seeing that he was named, the young man named Ye Xiao stepped forward, bowed his head slightly, and said directly: "Patriarch, I don't have any opinion on the engagement, but this matter is too sudden, you just nod like this, it will inevitably make us people dissatisfied." ”
Ye Zong frowned slightly: "Then what do you mean?"
Ye Xiao straightened his chest and said: "I admire Brother Xingyan for being able to come to the Ye family for an appointment without losing his trust, not to mention anything else, but in terms of strength, we need to verify it, everyone doesn't want Cousin Lanyin to restrain her excellent talent because of a marriage contract, she can now be regarded as the pride of our Ye family, we don't want his future husband to be unworthy of her." ”
"Yes, Patriarch. ”
As soon as Ye Xiao's words fell, behind him, many people also nodded, obviously having a big opinion, although Ye Zong didn't mention Xingyan's ability just now, and he didn't care, but they were different, since they dared to come alone, they had to be convinced.
"Ye Xiao, you give me back, I didn't speak, when will it be your turn to say this?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, a middle-aged man next to Xing Yan patted the table and glared at Ye Xiao.
However, after listening to the man's words, Ye Xiao gritted his teeth, not only did he not retreat, but came to Xing Yan, and said in a deep voice: "The patriarch also knows that I have liked Cousin Lanyin for many years, although I am not the most outstanding in the clan over the years, but I am not lagging behind, I have no objection to the marriage contract, but I don't want her to be bound by this person in the future, so I want to challenge him, as long as he wins, I Ye Xiao has nothing to say." ”
