This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

On the other side, outside Xiao Yan's room, an old man named Butler Mo knocked gently on the door: "Third Young Master, the clan leader invites you to the hall!"

"Oh." Xiao Yan agreed casually, changed his clothes and walked out of the room, "Let's go, Butler Mo."

Butler Mo nodded, with a trace of regret in his eyes. The Third Young Master was a kind and strong-minded person, but it was a pity that he encountered such an accident. Even though he was just a butler, he felt very sorry.

Xiao Yan followed the butler to the door of the reception hall, knocked on the door according to basic etiquette, and then walked in lightly.

"Everyone is here, it's time for the show to begin." At this time, Void Devouring Flame was sitting on the beam of the hall. His originally conspicuous black figure gradually faded until it became transparent and merged with the surrounding scenery. Although this concealment method was at best similar to those of magical beasts that had mastered the skills of color changing or camouflage, for the people here whose highest strength was no more than a great fighting master, this ability could be said to be enough.

"Father, three elders!" Xiao Yan walked forward and saluted Xiao Zhan and the other three elders.

"Haha, Yan'er is here, please sit down." Xiao Zhan nodded when he saw Xiao Yan, while the three elders beside him looked annoyed and disdainful. Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then glanced around the hall, only to find that the seats around him were already full. The Xiao family members around him couldn't help but snicker when they saw this scene.

"It's human nature." Void Tunyan watched this scene coldly. When you are powerful, even if you have some shortcomings, others will naturally flatter you and curry favor with you. When you no longer have the power, these people will either stay away from you or even add insult to injury. However, Void Tunyan has no interest in acting as a moralist to blame them. This kind of thing is nothing compared to what is going to happen next.

"Brother Xiao Yan, please sit here." Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly, closed the heavy book in her hand, walked from the corner, and winked at Xiao Yan playfully.

The expressions of the three elders became subtle. If any other member of the Xiao family dared to ruin their plan to embarrass Xiao Yan, they would definitely settle the score afterwards. But the problem was that the one who ruined the plan was Xiao Xun'er, and they would not dare to do so even if they had ten times the courage.

Xiao Yan touched his nose and sat down next to Xiao Xun'er amid the jealous eyes of the crowd, "You helped me out again."

Xuwu Tunyan looked at the eyes of those Xiao family members who were about the same age as Xiao Yan, which were almost spitting fire, and covered his mouth and sneered, "Who told you not to seize the opportunity?" However, on the other hand, if it were any other ordinary Xiao family member, he would probably be slapped into the wall by Ling Ying before he was ready to "warm up the meridians".

Thinking of Ling Ying, Xuwu Tunyan closed his eyes, and his vast soul power took the entire Xiao family compound into his perception, but he did not find any trace of Ling Ying. "It seems that he is not monitoring me 24 hours a day. That's good. I can't move freely with him watching me."

In the hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were talking eagerly with Ge Ye, but every time Ge Ye wanted to say something, he would force himself to hold his words back, while Nalan Yanran on the side could not help but glare at him.

After listening for a while, Xiao Yan still couldn't understand what was going on and suddenly felt a little bored. However, Xuwu Tunyan was rubbing his hands excitedly, because it would be his turn to perform soon!

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know their identities?" Xun'er opened the thick ancient book and asked with a smile.

"I really don't know that, you know?"

"See the cloud and silver sword symbol on their robes?"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately looked over and saw the cloud-shaped silver sword logo. "So they are from the Yunlan Sect? What are they doing here? Aren't they here to recruit disciples?"

Xun Er laughed in silence, then was silent for a while before saying, "That shouldn't be the case. That Xu Yan should be just a special case. I think this may be related to Brother Xiao Yan."

"Me? I haven't even met them." Xiao Yan was confused. He had never even seen the gate of Yunlan Sect, so how could he be related to them.

"Do you know the girl's name?"

"what?"

"Nalan Yanran." Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated look in her eyes.

“Nalan Yanran? The granddaughter of Marshal Lionheart Nalan Jie? The fiancée who was betrothed to me and whom I have never met?” Xiao Yan’s face was a little stiff.

"Yes, Grandpa Xiao Lin and Nalan Jie were once close friends. You and Nalan Yanran were born at the same time, so they arranged the marriage. Unfortunately, Grandpa Xiao Lin passed away later. But Nalan Jie is a stubborn person and is unwilling to break his promise easily. So even though Brother Xiao Yan's reputation has deteriorated in recent years, he has not sent anyone to break off the engagement."

Xun'er then said in a joking tone: "Nalan Jie has the final say in the Nalan family, so it is quite difficult for him to cancel the engagement. However, five years ago, Nalan Yanran was personally accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, and she showed a high talent for cultivation. Therefore, Yun Yun loved her very much. If a person has the power to change her own destiny, then she will naturally try to eliminate the things she hates, so..."

"You mean, she's here to cancel the engagement?" Xiao Yan's face changed, and he felt a trace of inexplicable anger in his heart. Although Nalan Yanran was very beautiful, he, Xiao Yan, was not the kind of person who thought with his lower body. If they couldn't get married, then so be it. But if she told her father to cancel the engagement in public, then her father's face as the patriarch would be completely lost!

Although Xiao Yan had never participated in the affairs of the clan, he could see that although his father was the clan leader, in fact, the three elders had different intentions and were planning to kick him out. This was the second thing. If this matter got out, his father would become a laughing stock.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's hands clenched unconsciously, and unwillingness and anger filled his heart.

Xun'er gently pressed Xiao Yan's tightly clenched hands and comforted him, "Don't worry, if Nalan Yanran really does this, it will only be her loss. Xun'er believes that in the future, she will regret what she did today!"

"Hehe, more than that, if we talk about regret, that guy would regret it to death if he knew what would happen in the future." Void Tunyan sneered. As for "that guy" he mentioned, he was of course referring to Emperor Hun Tian. If Emperor Hun Tian knew that Emperor Yan, who would bury him with his own hands in the future, became a legend step by step because of a broken engagement, he would probably have asked someone to interfere long ago.

"Regret?" Xiao Yan said self-deprecatingly, "Do I have the ability to do this now?"

On the other side, Ge Ye, who had been hiding the truth and refusing to speak, finally stood up and said under Nalan Yanran's crazy hint: "Patriarch Xiao, I came to your family this time mainly to ask for something!"

"Has it finally begun..." Xuwu Tunyan saw Ge Ye stand up and looked at the people below with amusement. The drama of breaking off the engagement was finally about to begin.
