    Uncle Xiao, Yanran came to visit suddenly today. I hope you dont feel disturbed, said Nn Yanran solemnly to Xiao Zhan in the reception hall of the Xiao n. Xiao Zhan smiled lightly and waved his hand.


    Theres no need to feel disturbed. Just next time, it would be better to let us know in advance so that we can prepare to receive you properly.


    Clearly,pared to thest time Nn Yanran visited, Xiao Zhans attitude towards her had undoubtedly improved significantly.


    Nn Yanran was already a proud daughter of heaven, with a much greater family background than the Xiao n. She was also the junior sect master of the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect. At a time when everyone considered Xiao Yan as a waste, Nn Yanran begged to marry into the Xiao n. If Xiao Zhans attitude remained unkind, he would truly be ignorant of what is good for him.


    Uncle Xiao, theres no need to be so polite to Yanran. Yanran will eventually marry into the Xiao n. You can already treat me as your daughter-inw, so feel free to talk normally with me, Nn Yanran said with a smile, covering her lips. At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted.


    Tch! Youre daydreaming, the marriage hasnt been settled yet!


    Upon hearing these words, Nn Yanran looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Xiao Meis face was showing undisguised displeasure.


    Meier!


    Just as the second elder was about to reprimand his own granddaughter, Xiao Yu, who was standing beside him, spoke sternly to her cousin first and pped the back of her head.


    No matter what, Nn Yanran was a guest of their n, and even if she was unhappy, she shouldnt show it so obviously!


    Hmph!


    You, you


    Xiao Wei held her head in pain, while Xiao Yan looked at Nn Yanran with embarrassment.


    Im sorry, Miss Nn. My sister is still young. Please bear with her.


    Its okay. It doesnt matter. Having such a lively sister is a joy to me, Nn Yanran whispered and looked at Xiao Mei. Sister Xiao Mei, if you have any dissatisfaction with me in the future, feel free to let me know. I will try my best to correct it as your future sister-inw.


    You little p- Waaah!!!


    As soon as Xiao Mei heard Nn Yanrans words, she instantly lost control. She was about to stand up and vent her vulgarnguage at Nn Yanran, but Xiao Yu, who had reacted early, covered her mouth and stopped her.


    Xiao Ning leaned his elbow against the armrest of the chair, looking quite helpless at the scene.


    To be honest, with Xiao Meis temperament, only Xiao Yan could handle her.


    Xiao Xuner also reacted to Nn Yanrans words. ck aura appeared on her face, and she smiled softly and said, Miss Nn, after all, you are not yet married to Xiao Yan. Please dont make such jokes. It might cause unnecessary damage to your reputation if it gets out.


    Let others say whatever they want. As long as Im happy, Nn Yanran responded softly, her gaze fixed on Xiao Xuner. Lets get along well in the future, my future sister-inw.


    Snap!


    The armrest of the chair that Xiao Xuner was sitting on suddenly shattered without any warning. Although the smile on Xiao Xuners face did not fade, the temperature in the entire reception hall suddenly turned cold, and there was a faint flicker of electricity in the eye contact between Nn Yanran and Xiao Xuner.


    Even the people present could sense a hidden sense of danger in the air!


    This wasnt just a reception hall, it was practically a battlefield!


    Xiao Yan was feeling overwhelmed, his eyes filled with conflict, unsure of whose side to support.


    Should he support Xuner? After all, Nn Yanran was a guest and his future fiance. It would be disrespectful to make her lose face.


    Should he support Nn Yanran? Xuner was unlikely to direct her anger towards him; she would only silently bear the grievances in her heart, and it was because of this that Xiao Yan couldnt ept it.


    Just as everyone didnt know how to resolve the situation, a young member of the Xiao n suddenly entered from outside and looked at Xiao Yan.


    Xiao Yan, everything is ready.


    Oh!


    Xiao Yan immediately responded, stood up, and pulled Xuner, who was confronting Nn Yanran. He looked apologetically at Nn Yanran.


    Sorry, we have some things to attend to at the moment. Miss Nn, please rest for now.


    After saying that, Xiao Yan signaled to Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning, and they nodded slightly. They pulled Xiao Mei and left the reception hall together with Xiao Yan, who was holding Xuner. They left that tense ce behind.


    After leaving the reception room, Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yan all heaved a sigh of relief.


    The atmosphere just now was too terrifying. The three of them were afraid that Nn Yanran and Xuner would start fighting on the spot. At that time, Xiao Mei, who always enjoyed stirring up trouble, would surely get involved. It would be impossible to resolve the situation.


    Cousin, Im not your cousin for nothing, Xiao Ning sighed, reached out, and embraced Xiao Yans shoulder, pulling him to the side. He whispered, Ultimately, this issue is because of you. You have to find a way to resolve it yourself. You cant always stand by and do nothing.


    As he spoke, Xiao Ning also gestured towards Xiao Mei and Xuner with his mouth.


    Look at how these two girls are behaving towards Nn Yanran. If Nn Yanran really marries into the Xiao n in the future, Im afraid there will never be peace in the house.


    There was actually one thing that Xiao Ning didnt say.


    Although he thought it was unlikely, if Xiao Yan really married Nn Yanran and it caused Xuner topletely turn dark, then not only the Xiao n but even the Nn family and the Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect would have no peace!


    Of course, Xiao Ning didnt want this reason to interfere with Xiao Yans choice. After all, that would be the woman who would apany him for the rest of his life. She shouldnt be influenced by external factors.


    Xiao Yans choice had to be someone he genuinely liked from the bottom of his heart. That would be fair to Xiao Yan.


    Ugh


    After listening to Xiao Nings words, Xiao Yan also held his head in pain.


    Did Xiao Ning think he didnt know all of this?


    But right now, all Xiao Yan wanted was to follow the righteous path and he had deliberately been avoiding matters of the heart.


    Or perhaps, Xiao Yan had been consciously avoiding this issue.


    Instead of marriage, Xiao Yan now focuses more on how far he can go on his righteous path.


    Xiao Yan nced at Xuner and Xiao Mei, and let out a deep sigh in his heart.


    Lets not think about these things for now, Xiao Yan scratched his head. Go hang up the decorations.


    After that, Xiao Yan and the four of them returned to the training ground. With the help of the Xiao n members, they ced thenterns and other decorations they had made in various ces in the Xiao n courtyard. The originally solemn and gloomy courtyard became quite festive with these decorations.


    During the process of arranging the decorations, Xiao Mei, Xuner, and even Xiao Yu were gradually infected by the lively atmosphere, and their moods improved, gradually returning to their usual cheerful selves.


    Nn Yanran, who followed Xiao Zhan and the three elders out of the reception hall, looked at the changes in the courtyard and her gaze turned slightly surprised as she looked at Xiao Zhan.


    Uncle Xiao, is someone in the Xiao n getting married?


    It was understandable for Nn Yanran to ask such a question. After all, there were no New Year customs on the Dou Qi continent, and most families only decorated in such a lively manner when someone in the family was getting married.


    Ah, no, Niece Nn, dont misunderstand, Xiao Zhan lightlyughed and waved his hand, exining, This was a suggestion made by Yaner when he was young. Every New Years, we stop all the business of the Xiao n, and no matter where they are, all the members of the Xiao n will rush back and celebrate together with a lively feast.


    I see


    Nn Yanran nodded, looking at Xiao Yan, who was standing on a stool and hangingnterns on the beams, her eyes flickered with dazzling radiance. Deep within them, there was a hidden tenderness and memories resurfaced in her mind.


    Hes such a unique person, just like before.


    Hes so gentle, able to make the people around him feel warmth, making one want to apany him forever.


    Nn Yanran couldnt help but clench her fist, her eyes shining with unquestionable determination. Her heart was filled with an almost overflowing resolution.


    Xiao Yan! In this lifetime, I, Nn Yanran, have decided to marry you! You wont be able to escape!!!
