This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

"Haha, Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have something to say. If it is within our ability, the Xiao family will not refuse." Xiao Zhan naturally did not dare to neglect the people from the Yunlan Sect, and quickly replied politely, but he did not know what the other party was doing, so he did not say anything definite.

"Chief Xiao, do you know her?" Ge Ye pointed at the girl beside him and asked with a smile on his face. It was the kind of smile that looked impure.

"This... I really don't have any impression of her..." Xiao Zhan looked at the girl and shook his head. After all, when Nalan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun, she was only ten years old, and now Nalan Yanran is fifteen years old. In addition, since Xiao Lin's death, the two families are no longer close, so Xiao Zhan naturally could not recognize Nalan Yanran.

"Ahem...her name is Nalan Yanran."

"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of old man Nalan?" Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, and then his face was full of joy, not realizing at all that the other party had "ill intentions".

Xiao Zhan quickly showed a gentle smile: "So it's Nalan's niece. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame uncle for being short-sighted."

"Uncle Xiao, my niece should apologize for not coming to see me, but how dare I blame you, Uncle Xiao?"

"Hypocrisy." Xuwu Tunyan looked at the sweet smile on Nalan Yanran's face, but felt a little nauseous.

"Niece Nalan, I heard before that you were accepted as a personal disciple by Lord Yun Yun. You are truly gifted." Xiao Zhan exclaimed with a smile.

"Yanran is just lucky..." At this time, Xuwu Tunyan had clearly captured that Nalan Yanran's hand hidden under the table gently pulled Ge Ye. It was unknown whether Nalan Yanran was unable to bear Xiao Zhan's enthusiasm, or was already impatient, or felt guilty.

Of course, in Xuwu Tunyan's opinion, the third possibility is absolutely impossible.

"Haha, Patriarch Xiao, what I requested today is related to Yanran, and it was the Sect Master who spoke about this matter personally..." Ge Ye chuckled, and when he mentioned the word Sect Master, the expression on his face became a little serious.

"Is the truth finally revealed..." Xuwu Tunyan rubbed his hands. At this time, he had already begun to think about the next lines in his head.

Xiao Zhan's smile also disappeared instantly. Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, was a big shot in the Jia Ma Empire. He was just the patriarch of a small family in Wutan City. There was a huge gap between them in terms of status and strength. In this case, what could he do that required the Xiao family's help?

Combined with what Ge Ye said, this matter was related to Nalan Yanran, Xiao Zhan had already thought of a very bad but highly correct answer in his mind. But after all, it was not easy to get angry in public, so Xiao Zhan had to suppress his anger and forced himself to calm down and said: "Mr. Ge Ye, please speak!"

An unnatural smile and natural embarrassment appeared on Ge Ye's face. Although the Yunlan Sect was powerful, it was still well-known. It was somewhat difficult to talk about using power to oppress and humiliate others.

However, thinking of the love that the Sect Master had for Nalan Yanran, Ge Ye could only say: "Patriarch Xiao, you also know that the Yunlan Sect has a strict style, and the Sect Master has high expectations for Yanran. Now she is basically being trained as the next Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect. And because of some special rules, the Sect Master's heir cannot have any entanglement with men before becoming the official Sect Master..."

"After asking Yanran, the Lord Sect Master knew that she was still engaged to the Xiao family, so...so the Lord Sect Master wanted to ask the Xiao clan leader to...cancel the engagement."

With a crisp "crack" sound, the hard jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand turned into powder, which shows the suppressed anger in his heart.

The atmosphere in the hall was also very subtle. The three elders above were also shocked by Ge Ye's words, but after a moment, there was a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Zhan.

“Hehe, someone came to your house and forcibly cancelled your engagement. Look at you, as the clan leader, what prestige do you have to manage the family in the future!”

The Xiao family members were very confused at first. What happened to the clan leader? But after they asked their parents and learned about the engagement, their faces turned very interesting. They cast mocking eyes at Xiao Yan in the corner without disguising.

"Hey, what I hate most is people who are so stingy and evasive when speaking. Just say whatever you want to say, really."

A sudden mocking voice broke the awkward atmosphere. Everyone in the conference room looked around. Even Ge Ye and Xiao Zhan began to look around. Who on earth dared to be so bold in such a serious occasion?

"Don't look, it's here." Void Devouring Flame lifted his invisibility and shouted loudly again, allowing everyone to discover his location.

"Xu...Mr. Xu?" Xiao Zhan was a little surprised. How could he appear on the beam of the conference room?

"I'm sorry, Chief Ha Xiao. I ate a lot today and felt a little sleepy, so I thought about finding a place nearby to rest, so I found this place. I'm really sorry." Xuwu Tunyan shrugged, "But I really didn't expect to encounter something like this."

"Mr. Xu, we are discussing important matters. Could you please leave first?" Ge Ye looked at the figure on the beam and felt a sense of inexplicable panic in his heart. There should be no one at that position of the beam, so how could a person suddenly appear?

"What's the important matter? You just want to use your power to humiliate him in front of the entire Xiao family and embarrass him as the head of the family? So this is the [important matter]. You guys are really free."

Xuwu Tunyan didn't tolerate Ge Ye at all. He knew very well that this old man looked kind on the surface, but was actually full of evil intentions. If it wasn't necessary, he would have burned him to ashes.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three elders froze instantly. Although Xu Yan was generous and his strength should not be bad, he was definitely no match for the powerful Yunlan Sect. Now that he was contradicting them like this, it was possible that the Xiao family would be implicated!

Ge Ye's expression was very unpleasant, and he immediately turned to Xiao Zhan who was standing beside him: "Chief Xiao, this Mr. Xu is..."

"I said you are boring. I am the one mocking you, not the Xiao clan leader. Do you know what "every wrong has its perpetrator" means? Do you think I can't see your tricks? You just want to use this as an excuse to drive me away, and even want to implicate the Xiao family. Then I can tell you that I am not from the Xiao family. I am just a wanderer passing by. Remember this!"

"You..." Even with Ge Ye's temperament, he was still very angry at Xuwu Tunyan's rapid-fire words, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

Nalan Yanran on the side couldn't stand it any more: "You are just a homeless person passing by, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at us?"
