Chapter 256: Reckoning

"Dad, what's the matter with that marquis?!" Xiao Ran frowned slightly, he didn't know that there was a marquis around here.

"Well, you don't know?!" This time it was Xiao Zhan and the others who were surprised, in their opinion, this marquis was completely obtained by Xiao Ran, but they didn't expect that even Xiao Ran himself didn't know, this is too, right?

Seeing that Xiao Ran's eyes were a little confused, Xiao Zhan knew that he really didn't know.

Dang Xian stood there and explained briefly.

When Xiao Ran listened to the things before and after, he finally understood what was going on, since the royal family wanted to show favor and woo, Xiao Ran did not need to refute, after all, the current Xiao family was not strong enough to compete with a country.

At this time, the people who had a relationship with Xiao Ran in the entire courtyard had already rushed over, whether it was Ouyang Fei, Xiao Tianyi or the old man Tianxin.

After these people walked into the living room, they began to tell Xiao Ran about what had happened during this time.

When Xiao Ran learned that Tianwu City was his own territory within a radius of thousands of miles, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He has always wanted to make Tianwu City independent, but there is no suitable opportunity, and the establishment of the Sword Sect has begun to move towards his goal, but he didn't expect the Feng family to be more simply rewarded directly.

After listening to these people's reports and the progress of the Sword Sect again, Xiao Ran's brows furrowed again.

All this, although it went well, Xiao Ran knew that the funds were not enough, especially the purchase of thousands of swordsmanship, although these swordsmanship were of little value to Xiao Ran, it did not mean that Xiao Ran did not know the preciousness of these swordsmanship.

money, now Xiao Ran urgently needs to make money.

By the end of this meeting, a full hour had passed.

After the meeting, Xiao Ran went out alone, and instructed the people of the Xiao family to start collecting some medicinal materials, and then planned to go out for a walk, since it was dangerous. Xiao Ran must be put an end to it in the bud.

But as soon as Xiao Ran went out, a familiar figure came into view.

This is a person wearing a goose-yellow shirt with sleeves, his hair is slightly tied up, and the rest is draped over his shoulders, and the whole person looks like a mortal fairy from a distance.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a middle-aged man beside her, I am afraid that others would really think that she was a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

There was a hint of sadness in the woman's eyes, not slightly wrinkled, but it added some charming feeling to her plainness.

Seeing the two people opposite, Xiao Ran suddenly paused. A wry smile was revealed.

"Xiao Ran?!" The woman on the other side paused, and finally found Xiao Ran standing in front of her, with a look of surprise in her eyes, and swallowed.

However, when he saw that it was indeed Xiao Ran, he couldn't care about anything else, and rushed directly towards Xiao Ran, almost rushing into Xiao Ran's arms without thinking about it.

Xiao Ran originally wanted to say hello to Nangong Wan'er, but who knew that as soon as he stood up, Nangong Wan'er on the opposite side rushed over. Or even threw himself directly into his arms.

Feeling the softness of the lovely child in his arms, Xiao Ran's heart couldn't help but flutter, but he still reacted quickly, and immediately pulled Nangong Wan'er up.

But at this time. He felt that Nangong Wan'er was slowly sobbing in his arms, and even tears had slipped down his shoulders, which made Xiao Ran's heart sour again, and then slowly hugged Nangong Wan'er and patted it a few times.

After crying. Nangong Wan'er seemed to come to her senses, and struggled out of Xiao Ran's arms, her pretty face was red to the bottom of her neck. But it does look more attractive, even Xiao Ran can't help but be stunned.

"Huh"

Seeing Xiao Ran's appearance, Wan'er finally couldn't help laughing, and at this time, the middle-aged man of Brother Nan behind him finally walked over with an embarrassed face.

"Wan'er, pay attention, this is on the street!" Nangong Xin said angrily.

Since her own woman returned to the family half a year ago, she has begun to cultivate without dying.

Fortunately, he still has a little bit of family background, and he has taken it all out, and Nangong Wan'er's cultivation talent is also good, and now she has reached the early stage of the Sword Emperor.

Although the realm had just stabilized, Nangong Xin was already very satisfied.

However, since a month ago, after the imperial family issued a holy decree, the Liuli City where he is located belongs to the Xiao family, and he came here to ask whether he will continue to serve as the city lord, or what?

When his daughter heard that she was coming, she immediately followed, but she didn't expect to really meet Xiao Ran now, which made him a little surprised.

After looking Xiao Ran up and down a few times, and found that he couldn't see through it for a long time, Nangong Xin smiled at Xiao Ran and said: "Xiao Ran Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I didn't expect you to grow up like this, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid it's not impossible to win the legendary realm!"

Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "Uncle has won the award, where does the kid have that ability!"

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Wan'er Kajin raised her head and looked at Xiao Ran.

She understands that judging from Xiao Ran's title just now, her existence has quietly changed, otherwise according to Xiao Ran's character, it is impossible to call her father uncle, thinking of this, there is some little sweetness in her heart.

"I don't know what you're here for, uncle?!" Xiao Ran said suspiciously, but as soon as this sentence came out, Xiao Ran secretly scolded himself for being a fool.

Sure enough, I only heard Nangong Xin laughing softly: "Xiao Ranxian's nephew, now the Liuli City where I am located belongs to your Xiao family's property, what do you say I can do? Naturally, I am here to hand over the property!"

"Uh" Xiao Ran was speechless.

Then he waved his hand and said: "If my uncle doesn't dislike it and continues to be the city lord?" Anyway, our Xiao family will not be stationed there for the time being, and we are more relieved to have you in it to help us take care of this!"

"Haha, you kid has a good idea!" Nangong Xin laughed, but he was relieved in his heart, Xiao Ran has this kind of courage and ability, proving that he will definitely do something in the future, and his daughter will not suffer if he follows him.

Thinking of this, Nangong Xin finally showed a happy smile on his face.

Now that he met them, Xiao Ran temporarily extinguished the idea of continuing to go out for a walk, and directly returned to his home with the two of them.

This time, Ah Fu, who was guarding the door, did not dare to continue to stop it. When Xiao Ran came far away, he stepped aside.

While Xiao Ran took Nangong Wan'er and the two of them into it, he said casually: "I don't know if Uncle and Wan'er have a place to live temporarily?

"Well, that's very good!" Nangong Xin is not a procrastinator, since his daughter has already identified Xiao Ran, there is nothing to worry about.

When Xiao Ran brought Nangong Xin and Wan'er to his father, the sky had already darkened slightly, and after several people talked together for a while, Xiao Zhan also had a good impression of Nangong Wan'er, and even kept glancing at Xiao Ran, which made Xiao Ran a little depressed.

But when Xiao Ran's mother Murong Wan came, Xiao Ran couldn't smile bitterly.

After Murong Wan came here, she immediately greeted Nangong Wan'er and the two of them, and even invited them to eat together.

In desperation, Xiao Ran and the other five of them ate a meal made by Murong Wan herself.

After dinner, Xiao Ran called his subordinates to take Nangong Xin and the two to live in another separate courtyard next to the small courtyard where he lived.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ran also returned to his residence.

Wu Zhi and Huang Ting and others have been cultivating hard in the family, and if they have nothing to do, they have helped the Xiao family to start taking care of it, and now they have some status, but they still live in Xiao Ran's courtyard and have not left.

And to Xiao Ran's surprise, Wu Zhi and Huang Fang were in love, although they didn't dare to tell outsiders, but Xiao Ran still saw it at a glance.

For these, Xiao Ran just smiled, if he really wanted to, Xiao Ran didn't mind fulfilling the two of them.

Among the cultivation of several people, Yu Changchun's talent is a little better, and now he has even reached the early stage of the Sword King, and the cultivation of the other few people has also reached the peak of the Great Sword Master, and the cultivation is almost the same, and it has only been a few months. It made Xiao Ran look at the sky of several people again.

That night, Xiao Ran sat in his room thinking about the affairs of Murong and the Shangguan family, if the two families really threatened the existence of his own family, Xiao Ran would never let these two families go, and even knew that these two families had the existence of sword gods, Xiao Ran had to go over.

Not to mention that now Xiao Ran's cultivation has reached the peak realm of the middle stage of the Sword Saint, and even his spiritual power has recovered to the realm of the peak of the Sword God in his previous life, and that mysterious feeling appeared in Xiao Ran's mind again.

It seems that as long as he breaks through a layer of window paper, Xiao Ran's whole person will transform, but these are just Xiao Ran's speculations for the time being, after all, his cultivation has not kept up, and it is not enough to rely solely on spiritual power.

However, now that his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Sword Saint, many of the swordsmanship that Xiao Ran couldn't perform at all can be easily used, and even the most basic sword drawing technique can be used as a ninth-level swordsmanship.

If it is combined with the terrifying spiritual power, Xiao Ran believes that even if it is a sword god, he will dare to take a stand.

However, when he thought that there were realms such as Breaking Void and Nirvana after the Sword God, Xiao Ran couldn't be happy, people in these realms, anyone who stood up could slap himself to death, and it wasn't until now that Xiao Ran understood that he was really sitting in a well and watching the sky, if he was relying on what he was like before, it would just be self-defeating.

However, if the Shangguan family dared to send someone to come, Xiao Ran would definitely let these people come and go, or even kill them in their family. (To be continued......)
