NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2.2: Yun Lan (Misty Cloud) Sect
Xiao Ning didn’t see the figures of Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er among the Xiao Clan’s younger generation, which made him wonder.
These two little girls would love to tie themself to Xiao Yan every day. Xiao Ning was very certain that if not for the strict rules of the clan, these two little girls would dare to climb onto Xiao Yan’s bed in the middle of the night!
And how could these two little girls not come to the daily training supervised by Xiao Yan?
Are they too embarrassed to participate in the training because of his bruised appearance from having beaten him up?
Don’t be ridiculous~
Xiao Ning knew very well the character of Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er.
Regarding taking Xiao Yan to the Ning Chun Tower, far from feeling guilty, they would only regret not being harsher on him!
‘Maybe they’re plotting somewhere, thinking about how to get back at me…’
Xiao Ning speculated, then leaned on his crutch and stood up from the recliner, saying to Xiao Yan:
“Xiao Yan, I’m going back now.”
“Okay, be careful on your way.”
Xiao Yan instructed, and Xiao Ning waved his hand lightly before hobbling away from the training ground on his crutch.
However, as soon as he left the training ground and arrived at the Xiao Clan’s courtyard, Xiao Ning heard a loud noise of drums, gongs, firecrackers, and celebrations outside the Xiao Clan’s gates, which made him raise an eyebrow in confusion.
What’s going on?
Is there a festival today?
Hobbling on his crutch, Xiao Ning arrived at the gate of the Xiao Clan and immediately saw a long procession outside, carrying a large flag with the word “Yun” engraved on it.
The Yun Lan Sect! (Misty Cloud Sect)
As the most powerful sect in the Jia Ma Empire, everyone in the Jia Ma Empire was familiar with this sect.
But why would the number one Sect come to their small Wutan City?
At this point, Xiao Ning noticed an old man leading the procession, the old man was being followed by a young pink-haired girl.
Although the young girl was beautiful, she faintly exuded an aura of haughtiness, and it was easy to see that she wasn’t easy to get along with.
Then Xiao Zhan and three elders came out to greet the old man and the young girl, welcoming them into the reception hall. Xiao Ning also sneakily listened at the door, overhearing their conversation.
“Hey! Xiao Ning!”
Hearing this greeting, Xiao Ning’s body instinctively trembled, and he turned his head around abruptly, seeing Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun’er standing behind her, though she didn’t know when they had arrived.
“Ah- Aren’t these my two beloved younger sisters…”
Seeing these two little devils, all of Xiao Ning’s wounds suddenly throbbed with pain, and his body instinctively moved away from them.
“Hmph~ remember today’s pain very well, next time I won’t let you off so easily.”
Xiao Mei looked at the fearful Xiao Ning with a cold smile, causing him to nod repeatedly. Xiao Mei smiled satisfactorily and then looked towards the reception hall.
“There are guests today?”
“Ah–it’s people from the Yun Lan Sect.” Xiao Ning replied solemnly, glancing slightly at the reception hall. “I just don’t know why the renowned Yun Lan Sect would come to our Xiao Clan.”
Although he had heard from the elders about how glorious the Xiao Clan used to be, their current power was not even worthy of carrying the Yun Lan Sect’s shoes. The two should not have any intersection.
At this moment, Xiao Xun’er’s face became somewhat unpleasant for some unknown reason as she gazed at the spoiled young lady in the reception hall and slowly spoke.
“I have heard from Uncle Xiao before that Grandfather and the Head of the Nalan family were sworn brothers on the battlefield. It so happened that when Xiao Yan and Nalan Family Head granddaughter were born, the two grandfathers arranged for them to be engaged.”
“And that young lady is the fiancée that Xiao Yan had a betrothal with. She is the young mistress of the Nalan family who was taken as a direct disciple by the Yun Lan Sect’s Sect leader.”
Upon hearing Xiao Xun’er’s words, Xiao Ning was slightly taken aback, while Xiao Mei immediately shouted in a hurry.
“Fiancée?!”
But then it seemed like she realized her voice was too loud and covered her mouth hastily. Seeing that no one in the reception hall had noticed, she let out a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Xun’er anxiously.
“Could it be that they came this time to complete the marriage contract with Cousin Xiao Yan?!”
“That’s impossible…” Xiao Ning’s face also darkened, showing some anger in his eyes. “The basic rule on this continent is survival of the fittest. We are kind to Xiao Yan because we understand his every bit of accumulation and his excellent personality besides his Dou Qi. But outsiders only view him as a useless waste. ”
Hearing Xiao Ning’s words, Xiao Mei gradually understood and her face became even uglier.
“Is she trying to break off the engagement?!”
