Chapter 121 The girls from our Miter family are better than those from the Nalan family

Nalan Mansion.

"Father! How is Grandpa?"

Nalan Yanran, who was wearing a moon-white dress and looked a little dusty, pushed the door open and entered. The worry in her voice was about to overflow.

The atmosphere in the room was quite heavy, making people feel a little breathless.

"He has been in a coma for two days! I have been recruiting alchemists. I hope I can meet an alchemist with strange fire with good luck!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the room smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"Well." Nalan Yanran ran to Nalan Jie's side quickly after hearing this. Looking at the old man with a dark face and weak breath, tears flashed in her eyes.

After a while, the two walked out of the gloomy house and came to the courtyard. The fresh air made people feel relieved.

"Father, when I came back just now, I saw that someone seemed to be cleaning the mansion opposite. Did someone take over?"

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"I don't know the details, but I heard that it seems to have something to do with the Mittel family. Every inch of land in the imperial capital is worth a lot of money, and only they can afford such a thing." Nalan Su shook his head and said with a dull look. Now that Nalan Jie is critically ill, it is really difficult for him to be interested in other things. "Master, the alchemists have come one after another." At this time, an old man who looked like a butler came from the corridor, bowed and saluted, and said slowly. "Well, I know!" Nalan Su nodded and immediately prepared to go to the front hall. "Father, I'll go too!" Nalan Yanran naturally has a very deep affection for her grandfather who has loved her since she was a child, and hurriedly followed. "Well, okay." Nalan Su nodded and walked towards the front hall with Nalan Yanran. After entering the front hall, you can see many figures wearing alchemist robes. Looking at the badges on their chests, these people are actually third-grade alchemists! "Sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long!" Nalan Su said loudly with an apologetic smile as he entered the hall. At the same time, on the street outside Nalan Mansion, Xiao Yuan and Hai Bodong walked slowly, attracting the attention of almost everyone on the street. Xiao Yuan, at this moment, was wearing a white brocade robe with silver threads, white boots with flowing cloud patterns, and his black hair was tied up by a white gauze crown. His handsome face was set off by his clothes, making him look even more extraordinary, like a banished immortal from heaven. Even the well-informed people in the imperial capital were amazed at such a face. "Whose son is this? He is so handsome?"

"He should not be from the imperial capital, right? The Alchemist Conference is about to be held. Maybe he is a son from another nearby empire!"

"So handsome!"

"I think the old man next to him is still charming."

"Pfft, you are really hungry!"

Ting Fengyin performed a little, and after Xiao Yuan filtered out the noisy voice, he couldn't help but look at Hai Bodong on the side with a joking look.

"Hai Lao, tsk tsk, it seems that the development of the imperial capital over the past 20 years has not been in vain!"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong, who was wearing an ice-blue brocade robe, with white hair and fewer wrinkles on his face, glanced at Xiao Yuan expressionlessly.

He was really offended.

"Tsk, to be honest, I really don't want to help that old man Nalan in person. If I can really cure him, I will be embarrassed to ask them for a reward."

Xiao Yuan pouted and said helplessly.

He definitely wanted to get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva of the Nalan family.

But it was one thing for him to come to the door to cancel the engagement, but with his personality, he really couldn't ask for compensation.

The Nalan family could not talk about feelings with the Xiao family, but Xiao Yuan didn't have the energy to be shameless.

Before leaving home, Xiao Zhan had mentioned that Xiao Lin and Nalan Jie had a good relationship back then, and even Xiao Zhan and Nalan Su could definitely be considered childhood friends.

The Xiao family valued friendship the most. No matter what the Nalan family did, the Xiao family still had to have the etiquette and etiquette they should have. However, after this incident, the Xiao family and the Nalan family had completely cut off their past ties, and any further dealings in the future would be handled in a businesslike manner.

When he first left home, Xiao Yuan didn't take it to heart, but now after these days of experience, Xiao Yuan also understood some of the implications of his father's words.

With Xiao Yuan's current strength and the number of strong people behind him, the Nalan family was no longer the imperial family that he would have considered marrying.

As a strong man, at least as a strong man with a strong mentality, he has no need to vent his anger on the entire Nalan family because of a little girl's nonsense, making things ugly and making everyone know about it.

In simple terms, other people's impoliteness is a problem of their upbringing, but our family is well-educated and will not argue with them.

But if the relationship between the two families is restored to what it was many years ago, at least in Xiao Yuan's generation, there is no hope.

Besides, Xiao Yuan doesn't want to have any private interactions with Nalan Yanran - he is afraid that Yun Yun will misunderstand.

"Haha, if you don't want it, then don't. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you don't save Nalan Jie. According to my temperament when I was young, if someone humiliates me like this, I'm afraid their whole family will become ice sculptures."

Hai Bodong said indifferently after hearing this.

"Not that bad, after all, things are not that ugly, right?"

Xiao Yuan smiled indifferently after hearing this.

But Haibodong shook his head: "Before I left, I asked for your information from Tengshan and got a rough understanding of it."

Having said this, he looked at Xiao Yuan and smiled meaningfully: "Do you want to hear it?"

"Ebi, to put it bluntly, you are not someone who can hide things."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile when he heard this.

"Young boy!" Hai Bodong smiled dumbly after hearing this, shook his head, and continued, "The family first collected information about you from Ya Fei. I have to say that your boy's sense of business also surprised me. .

In the beginning, the family's attitude towards you was just that of a good partner. You know, your Xiao family was not a big force in Wutan City at that time, but the family's assessment of your talents was still good.

Later came the matter of Nalan Yanran's breakup of engagement. Although you suppressed this matter in Wutan City, it was not a secret in the imperial capital. Back then, Nalan Jie drove Nalan Yanran out because of this matter. Doorstep several times.

This matter is considered a big deal in the imperial capital!

It wasn't until later that Yafei began to report that your cultivation talents began to show, that Tengshan's attention was attracted.

As for what happened next, I think you know it. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded and narrowed his eyes.

"Although Sister Yafei mentioned it to me, but hey, I didn't live in the imperial capital back then, so let's just make trouble. She Nalan Yanran is not sensible, am I still not sensible?"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan smiled indifferently, but his impression of Nalan Yanran deteriorated a lot again.

"Speaking of which, what does Mr. Hai think of this matter?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan suddenly asked with a smile of interest.

"Me?" Haibodong was stunned when he heard this, then pondered for a moment, and said: "From Nalan Yanran's point of view, it is understandable that she wants to pursue freedom. She and I were somewhat similar back then. .

But being born into a big family and enjoying the benefits of the family means paying corresponding rewards for the family. To put it bluntly, if she hadn't met you, the fate of that little girl Yafei would have been nothing more than a marriage, marrying someone she might not like. man.

But then again, although I only know this side of her today, I can be sure that if Yafei is given the same conditions, she will not make things so ugly, not to mention that your temperament is not willing to climb high. people.

Of course, this also has something to do with tutoring. The senior patriarch of my Miter family does not look at bloodline, but looks at ability and merit, the most basic vision. Most of the little girls from the Nalan family grew up with pampering, and it is not surprising to have such a performance. Not surprisingly.

Although the Nalan family is among the three major families, they have little background after all. They are a little inferior in this aspect, which is normal. "

Haibodong's evaluation seemed to be more fair, but in fact, it revealed that the girls from the Nalan family were not as good as the girls from his Miter family.

In response to this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously:

"Old Hai, you don't even have this little confidence in me? I'll trouble you to come with me this time in the name of my elder. Although you are not a member of the Xiao family, I have learned your fighting skills and should treat you as a teacher." ”

"Haha, then I will be shameless enough to be your teacher for once!"

Haibodong smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"It's not just once. After this time, you will always be like this."

Xiao Yuan shook his head first when he heard this, and then said seriously.

"Haha, good, good!" Haibodong stroked his beard when he heard this, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled so much that he couldn't even close his mouth from ear to ear.

"arrive."

Xiao Yuan stopped, looked at the wealthy family with the three-character plaque of Nalan Mansion hanging high in front of him, and said softly.

but

"So many low-level alchemists?"

Looking at the many alchemists below the third level gathered at the gate in front of him, Xiao Yuan raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Thinking about it, the Nalan family hopes to find an alchemist with a strange fire.

Although Xiao Yuan is not an alchemist yet, he does possess strange fire, and his ability to control fire is much better than those of people whose soul perception is not as good as his.

Xiao Yuan's arrival immediately attracted the attention of all the alchemists. Some were surprised, some were disdainful, some were jealous, and some were curious.

But everyone understood unanimously that the handsome young man in front of them was by no means an ordinary person.

Of course, the housekeeper of Nalan Mansion who continued to recruit alchemists at the door also knew this.

So, he hurriedly walked over, showed a kind smile, and said politely: "Master, I am the steward of the Nalan family. Our Nalan mansion does not receive foreign guests recently. If you are here for this reason, I will I apologize to you.”

"Haha, Mr. Butler, please inform me that the Xiao family of Wutan City, Xiao Yuan, is here to visit Miss Nalan, Uncle Nalan Su, and Mr. Nalan Jie."

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

A hint of surprise flashed through the old housekeeper's muddy eyes. He knew very well who Xiao Yuan of the Xiao family in Wutan City was.

My own lady has been kicked out of the Nalan family many times over the years because of the owner of this name.

But, is this person Xiao Yuan? He is really born with a good skin! I heard that he is a talented student at Canaan College!

However, with his strength, he naturally could not see through Xiao Yuan's level, but he knew that the lady did say that Xiao Yuan had a three-year agreement with her, and now it was almost time.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xiao. Please wait here for a while. I will go and report it right away."

The housekeeper nodded, turned around and walked quickly into the door.

Xiao Yuan watched him leave, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

The old housekeepers of Nalan Mansion all have the strength of great fighting masters. They have developed quite well in the imperial capital over the years.

You know, the Xiao family's Butler Mo is just a fighting master.

"Hey, I'm embarrassed to follow you this time, and I have to wait at the door."

Hai Bodong joked with a cold smile from the side.

"Haha, I feel wronged by Mr. Hai."

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this.

"That's right. It's normal in the imperial capital. It's not surprising if you don't know. But looking at it like this, it's obvious that the Nalan family has no affection for your Xiao family."

Haibodong waved his hands indifferently upon hearing this, and then changed the topic and said.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. If he tries to show affection, I would be too embarrassed not to show affection!"

Instead, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slight smile.

"Are you that Xiao Yuan?"

A young alchemist walked forward with a joking expression.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan subconsciously felt something was wrong. Could this guy be a crazy fan of Nalan Yanran?

He glanced at the badge on the young man's chest. Well, he was a second-grade alchemist.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Yuan asked with a rather indifferent expression.

"I heard you"

Before he finished speaking, the alchemists who were about to watch the fun looked in horror as the joking alchemist was frozen into an ice sculpture by the black cold air.

"Don't hear it. A second-grade alchemist really thinks of himself as a green onion?"

After casually throwing the unsightly ice sculpture to an open space basking in the sun, Xiao Yuan said lightly and then looked at the alchemists beside him in boredom.

These alchemists are not all fools. Seeing Xiao Yuan easily freeze a fighting master and a second-grade alchemist into an ice sculpture, he immediately understood that this talented student of Canaan College is indeed very powerful. In the future I'm afraid they are at least Dou Wang level experts, and they may not be able to reach the fifth level alchemist in this life. Such people are not something they can mess with.

Therefore, they quickly avoided Xiao Yuan's glance, as if it was none of their business.

Tap tap tap.

Slightly dense footsteps sounded from inside the door, and then, a sturdy figure walked out first, laughing loudly:

"Nephew Xiao has come all the way, and this servant is not sensible enough to ask my nephew to wait outside this door. It is really out of etiquette. For the sake of my uncle's welcome, please don't argue with this servant."
