Chapter 121 The Girls of Our Mittel Family Are Better than Those of the Nalan Family

Nalan Mansion.

"Father! How is grandpa?"

Wearing a moon-white dress and looking slightly dusty, Nalan Yanran pushed the door open and walked in, the worry in her voice almost overflowing.

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

"I've been in a coma for two days! I'm already recruiting alchemists. I hope I'm lucky and can meet an alchemist with strange fire!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the room showed a wry smile and said helplessly.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran quickly ran to Nalan Jie's side, looking at the old man with a dark face and weak breath, with tears glistening 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 from the tightness in their chests.

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

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly and asked doubtfully.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it seems to have something to do with the Mittel family. Every inch of land in the imperial capital is precious, and only they can do something like this."

Nalan Su shook his head when he heard this and said with waning interest.

Now that Nalan Jie is critically ill, it is really difficult for him to be interested in other things.

"Master, the alchemists have arrived one after another."

At this time, an old man who looked like a butler walked over from the corridor, bowed and said slowly.

"Oh, I see!"

Nalan Su nodded and immediately prepared to go to the front hall.

"Father, I'm going too!"

Nalan Yanran naturally had very deep feelings for her grandfather, who had loved her since she was a child, so she quickly followed up.

"okay."

Hearing this, Nalan Su nodded and led Nalan Yanran towards the front hall.

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 to keep you waiting for so long!"

As soon as Nalan Su entered the hall, he showed an apologetic smile and said loudly.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan and Hai Bodong were walking leisurely on the street outside Nalan Mansion, but they attracted the attention of almost everyone on the street.

Just because at this moment, Xiao Yuan was wearing a brocade robe with white background and silver thread, white boots with flowing cloud patterns, and his black hair was tied up by a white gauze crown. His handsome appearance was set off by the clothes, making him look even more charming. Extraordinary and refined, like an immortal in heaven.

With such an appearance, even well-informed people from the Imperial City would be in awe after looking at it.

"Whose young master is this, so handsome?"

"You shouldn't be from the imperial capital, right? The Alchemist Conference is about to be held recently. Maybe he's a young master from other nearby empires!"

"so hot!"

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

"Pfft, you're really hungry!"

After listening to Feng Yin for a while, the noisy voice was filtered by Xiao Yuan, and he couldn't help but cast a joking look at Hai Bodong who was standing aside.

"Ebi, tsk tsk, it seems that the imperial capital's development over the past twenty years has really been in vain!"

Hearing this, Haibodong, who was dressed in an ice-blue brocade robe, with flowing white hair and a lot less wrinkles on his face, glanced at Xiao Yuan expressionlessly.

He was really offended.

"Tsk, to be honest, I really don't want to help Mr. Nalan with my own hands. If he can really be cured by then, I will be embarrassed to ask them for payment."

Xiao Yuan curled his lips and said helplessly.

He definitely wanted to get the Nalan family's Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva.

But it was one thing for him to come to break the engagement, but with his temperament, he really couldn't ask for payment.

The Nalan family doesn't have to be friendly with the Xiao family, but he, Xiao Yuan, doesn't have the shamelessness.

Before leaving home, Xiao Zhan once mentioned that the relationship between Xiao Lin and Nalan Jie was really good back then, and even Xiao Zhan and Nalan Su were definitely considered to have grown up.

Friendship is the most important thing for the Xiao family. No matter what the Nalan family does, the Xiao family still has the etiquette and harmony that the Xiao family should have. However, after this incident, the Xiao family and the Nalan family have completely severed their previous ties. There will be no relationship in the future. Dealing with people is business.

When he first left home, Xiao Yuan didn't take this to heart, but now after these days of experience, Xiao Yuan also understands some of the connotations of what his father said.

With Xiao Yuan's current strength and the number of powerful people behind him, to him, the Nalan family is no longer the prominent family in the empire that he would be able to achieve by marrying with.

As a strong man, or at least as someone with a strong mentality, there was absolutely no need for him to anger the entire Nalan family because of a little girl's nonsense, making the matter ugly and making it known to everyone.

To put it simply, other people's rudeness is a matter of their upbringing, but our family is well-educated and is not as educated as them.

But if the relationship between the two families is to be restored to what it was many years ago, at least for Xiao Yuan's generation, there is little hope.

Besides, Xiao Yuan didn't want to have any personal interaction with Nalan Yanran - he was afraid that Yun Yun would misunderstand her.

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

Hai Bodong said indifferently after hearing this.

"That's not it. Things are not that ugly after all, right?"

Xiao Yuan smiled casually when he heard 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.

Then 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 also know. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded and narrowed his eyes.

"Although Sister Yafei mentioned it to me, hey, I didn't live in the imperial capital back then, so let's just make a fuss. 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 necessarily 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 fundamental vision. Most of the little girls from the Nalan family grew up with pampering, so it is not surprising that they behave like this. 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 have strange fire, and his ability to control fire is much better than those who have inferior soul perception to him.

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 subject.

"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 listen to me. 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 personally greeting my nephew, please don't argue with this servant."
