Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

The Xiao family's reception room.

At this moment, the Xiao family's top leaders gathered together, all with solemn expressions.

"That bastard Xiao Tianyan dares to come to the Jiang family and provoke them! Who does he think he is!" The Third Elder of the Xiao family slammed his fist on the table in anger.

The second elder of the Xiao family, standing to the side, also had a gloomy expression:

"This scoundrel is reckless. He doesn't realize the disaster his actions will bring to our Xiao family! Patriarch Xiao, you've truly raised a fine son!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changkong, the head of the Xiao family, who was seated in the main guard, frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"I, Xiao Changkong, will take full responsibility for this matter."

"You're going to shoulder this all by yourself?" Upon hearing this, the Third Elder of the Xiao family couldn't help but sneer.

"The Jiang family is such a behemoth, what are you? What makes you think you can stop their wrath!"

Just then, the Xiao family's Grand Elder, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:

"I propose that we immediately expel Xiao Tianyan from the Xiao family, sever all ties with him, and send a generous gift to the Jiang family to appease their anger!"

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Changkong frowned, his expression turning somewhat angry.

"Elder, what do you mean by expelling my son from the Xiao family?!"

The eldest elder of the Xiao family responded coldly:

"What else can we do? Your son has caused such a huge disaster, are we supposed to clean up his mess?"

“That’s right! This is the only chance to quell the Jiang family’s anger. I agree with the First Elder’s proposal.” The Second Elder of the Xiao family nodded in agreement.

"I agree."

Subsequently, all the elders of the Xiao family raised their hands in agreement.

"You, you guys!"

Xiao Changkong was furious at the sight, but there was nothing he could do.

Just then, a voice suddenly entered the reception room.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty for you all to want to expel me from the Xiao family now?"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. They looked in the direction of the voice and were astonished to find that it was Xiao Tianyan!

The third elder of the Xiao family flew into a rage, slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and shouted:

"You worthless wretch, how dare you come back! Do you even know the enormity of the trouble you've caused our Xiao family?!"

Xiao Tianyan looked at the other party with a calm expression:

"Third Elder, may I ask what trouble I have caused?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder snorted coldly and said:

"You came to the Jiang family's door to provoke them, incurring their wrath. Doesn't that count as causing trouble?"

“I did go to the Jiang family, but who told you that the Jiang family was angry?” Xiao Tianyan said calmly.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and Xiao Changkong quickly asked:

"Yan'er, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Tianyan smiled slightly and said:

"What I mean is that the Jiang family not only didn't get angry, but also expressed their apology to our Xiao family and presented us with rare and precious materials worth tens of billions as compensation."

As he spoke, Xiao Tianyan took out the spatial ring that Jiang Tianfang had given him and showed it to everyone present.

Upon hearing this, the First Elder of the Xiao family was taken aback. He twitched his finger slightly, and the next moment, the spatial ring in Xiao Tianyan's hand automatically flew into the First Elder's hand.

He activated his spiritual power, probing his spatial ring with his divine sense, and his pupils widened in shock:

"This, how is this possible!?"

"Elder, what's wrong?" The others all looked on with curiosity.

The First Elder of the Xiao family looked utterly shocked and said:

"This ring is indeed the Jiang family's ring, and it does contain rare and precious materials worth at least tens of billions!"

"What!?"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the entire reception room.

"Yan'er, what exactly happened?" Xiao Changkong asked with a look of surprise.

Afterwards, Xiao Tianyan briefly explained what had happened at the Jiang family to everyone present.

After a while, the Xiao family members, having learned the whole story, couldn't help but gape in amazement.

hiss!?

This works too! ?

They never expected that Qin Yu, whom the Human Emperor praised as a genius that only appears once in a thousand years in the Great Xia Dynasty, would value Xiao Tianyan so much, and even be willing to become sworn brothers with him!

"Hahaha, very good!" Xiao Changkong laughed and said, "Yan'er, Qin Yu is a man of extraordinary talent and is highly regarded by the Human Emperor. His future is limitless."

"Since the other party is willing to befriend you, this is your opportunity, and you must seize it."

"Don't worry, Father." Xiao Tianyan nodded with a smile.

At this moment, the crowd that had originally threatened to drive Xiao Tianyan out of the Xiao family all changed their expressions instantly and looked at Xiao Tianyan with great enthusiasm.

The Third Elder of the Xiao Family: "Little Yan, I was just joking earlier, please don't take it to heart."

Second Elder of the Xiao Family: "Yes, yes, in the Second Elder's eyes, you have always been the most promising person in the entire Xiao family!"

The First Elder of the Xiao Family said, "Although Xiao Yan is unable to cultivate, he is highly intelligent and far-sighted, making him the perfect candidate to become the family head. I propose that Xiao Tianyan be chosen as the heir to the Xiao family!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!!"

Everyone raised their hands in agreement.

Seeing the comical expressions on everyone's faces as they instantly changed, Xiao Tianyan couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, he really wanted to pat everyone's faces and say, "I still prefer how unruly you were just now."

However, Xiao Tianyan was also well aware that the reason why these people's attitude towards him had changed so drastically was mainly because the genius Qin Yu thought highly of him.

"You still need to have the ability..."

Xiao Tianyan thought to himself, his eyes slightly deepening.

Actually, the Grand Elder made a mistake just now.

Just half a month ago, he was able to continue his cultivation...

……

Meanwhile, Qin Yu walked out of the Jiang family's ancestral home, his face still showing lingering fear.

so close,

Thank goodness he came this time.

Otherwise, we'll be terribly screwed over by the Jiang family!

Just then, Jiang Yao chased after them from behind the door.

"Qin Yu, wait a moment."

Qin Yu turned around and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Something wrong?"

Jiang Yao looked at Qin Yu seriously and said, "Although my sister is proud and has a low EQ, she is very good in other aspects. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"Stop! Stop! Let's not talk about this again!"

Qin Yu quickly interrupted the other person, "What a joke! Asking me to steal the protagonist's fiancée? Does he have a death wish?"

Besides, he already has Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue is far superior to him in looks, personality, and figure. How could he be blind to marry such a little princess?

Seeing Qin Yu's determined expression, Jiang Yao sighed helplessly.

It seems impossible to bind Qin Yu to the Jiang family's cause through marriage.

"That's all."

Jiang Yao shook her head and looked at Qin Yu with a sincere expression:

"Regardless, I still want to apologize to you again for what happened before, and I hope that it will not become a hindrance to our relationship."

Even if she couldn't win them over, Jiang Yao still hoped to be on good terms with them.

Qin Yu, understanding Jiang Yao's overtures, grinned and said:

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty."

"Although you're a bit cold-hearted, you're not a bad person after spending time with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and extended her hand to Qin Yu with a smile:

"No matter when, the doors of our Jiang family will always be open for you."

Qin Yu grinned and grasped the other person's hand:

"If you ever encounter any problems you can't solve, come to me, but don't actually come to me. I don't want to help with small things, and I can't help with big things either."

Jiang Yao: "..."
