Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

Chapter 90: Grand Duke of Wutan City, Xiao Zhan

"You went to look after the Nalan family's yard the other day. What did you say?"

Two days later, after Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan and other senior members of the Xiao family sent away the people from the Nalan family, they captured Ya Fei, who had also come to the Xiao family, and interrogated her.

Ever since this woman went to the Nalan family's courtyard that afternoon, the originally relaxed relationship between the Xiao family and the Nalan family became a little weird again.

Nalan Jie and Nalan Su were fine, but the way they looked at him was more helpless and bitter. However, Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun had completely changed their expressions.

Especially Nalan Yanran. Although she looked at herself with displeasure and unwillingness in the past, she still had a bit of the arrogance of a girl, and her main point was to show her unwillingness to accept.

But since that afternoon, the look in her eyes when she looked at him was somewhat empty, and even had a hint of fear.

And when Yun Yun saw him again, her pretty face was cold and she didn't say another word.

This made Xiao Yan feel unhappy and confused at the same time. After thinking about it, he could only think that Ya Fei must have said something to these people that afternoon.

"Well, I just told them that your girlfriend broke through to a four-star fighter some time ago. Even if I didn't tell them, they would have known it if they had carefully inquired about it."

Being stared at by Xiao Yan with scorching eyes, Ya Fei couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Have you told them all the information about Xun'er?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was also slightly stunned, and finally sighed helplessly.

"It seems that even if I restrained myself a little, it still dealt a big blow to Nalan Yanran."

I hope she can get through this.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan planned to invite Xiao Zhan and others to go home.

Now he has cleared the poison from Nalan Jie's body and given the Nalan family such a generous compensation. With the promise of the Broken Sect Pill, Xiao Yan feels that he has done enough.

Compared to how Nalan Yanran treated her in her previous life, this was a thousand times better. If this girl still felt that she was at a disadvantage, then it was her fault.

Of course, based on Xiao Yan’s understanding of Nalan Yanran in his previous life, this woman should not be defeated so easily.

However, just as the group was about to return to the clan, Ya Fei suddenly grabbed Xiao Yan's arm again, and hurriedly said to Xiao Zhan and the others, "Patriarch Xiao Zhan, please wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was also slightly startled, and then he looked at Ya Fei beside him. Looking at the smile on the latter's bright face, he couldn't help scratching his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

His words were also what Xiao Zhan and others wanted to ask.

"Haha, it's true that you sent the Nalan family away, but there are several more guests from the imperial capital who specifically stated that they want to visit your Xiao family."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. After a moment, he finally reacted.

It seems that after his reputation spread, it was not just the Nalan family who were interested. It seemed that many other families in the imperial capital were also quite concerned about him.

"Sister Yafei, please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us which family they are from. Since you introduced them, I have to give them some face."

Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei with a smile, his voice was quite gentle, but it made Ya Fei roll her eyes slightly.

"Don't be so sentimental. If your girlfriend was around, would you still dare to talk to me like this?"

After that, he didn't care about Xiao Yan's embarrassed look of touching his nose, and smiled at Xiao Zhan and others and said: "This time, the people coming from the imperial capital are all direct descendants of the royal family."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Zhan and the others' expressions finally changed slightly.

Only Xiao Yan remained calm.

Although the current Xiao family is more than ten times stronger than before, it is still a small family whose influence has not even been detected in Wutan City. Even Xiao Zhan and others have not yet adapted to the strength of the family, and they are still in awe of such behemoths as the Yunlan Sect and the imperial royal family.

However, this situation will not last long, as their strength grows stronger.

Now that Xiao Zhan has activated the bloodline of the Dou Emperor, it will probably take less than a year for him to cross the barrier of the Dou King. Even for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, it will take at most three years to reach the level of Dou King.

By that time, they will know that the so-called Yunlan Sect and the Jia Ma Royal Family are nothing more than that.

"So they are from the royal family. In that case, for Sister Yafei's sake, let them come to the Xiao family and have a seat."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"No, I don't have that much face, but since you, Master Xiao Yan, have agreed, I will bring them here."

Hearing this, Ya Fei smiled lightly and glanced at Xiao Zhan and the others. Seeing that they had no objections, she twisted her snake-like waist and left.

Looking at Ya Fei who left with a smile, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. After experiencing the incident with Xun'er, this woman once again distanced herself from him.

There may be some sense of estrangement here, but more importantly, it is probably because Xun'er and I have put a lot of pressure on her.

After all, Xiao Yan and Xun'er joined forces, but even Nalan Yanran's heart of Taoism was shattered. Ya Fei might not be in the same situation, but it seems that she is under great emotional pressure.

They are all proud women, and no one is willing to share her man with others.

After Xiao Yan's reminder, Xiao Zhan and others reacted quickly, and hurriedly mobilized everyone to return to the family, and then set up a welcome ceremony in the most luxurious hall again.

About an incense stick of time later, Ya Fei also brought a group of people to the Xiao family. In response, the top management of the Xiao family naturally could only show warm hospitality again.

Naturally, the royal family had more pomp and face than the Nalan family. Leading the group were two women, one tall and one short. Behind the two women was an old man who looked a little old but had a very straight back.

This old man not only has a very tall figure, but also has a pair of bright eyes. It seems that he is not inferior to Nalan Jie at all.

Behind him is a guard team of ten people.

Looking at the two beauties, one big and one small, Xiao Yan, who followed Xiao Zhan out, was slightly surprised after seeing them.

She was tall and plump, with jet-black hair casually tied into a high ponytail. She was wearing a tight white robe. She had a mature style similar to Ya Fei, but her serious face made her look a little cold.

However, within this coldness, there is a bit of noble dignity similar to Yun Yun. Although her exquisite appearance is not as good as that of Concubine Yun Yun, she has a different flavor because of her noble dignity besides her heroic appearance.

The younger one, apart from having a petite figure, also has a cute face that looks a bit noble, but there is a hint of mischief hidden in it.

However, what really attracted everyone was the clothes that the girl was wearing, which was actually a first-grade alchemist's robe.

Judging from the latter's appearance, which looked only a few years older than Xiao Yan, it was obvious that he was also a talented alchemist.

"It turns out to be the sisters Yaoye and Yaoyue." Xiao Yan was a little surprised when his eyes swept over the two of them. He didn't expect that the first time the royal family sent people here, they would send this pair of sisters.

The old man behind the two sisters seemed to be a Dou Wang powerful warrior from the royal family. His strength and status were indeed not inferior to Nalan Jie.

"Patriarch Xiao Zhan, Junior Patriarch Xiao Yan."

Ya Fei slowly walked up to Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan and introduced them to each other.

“These two are Princess Yaoye and Princess Yaoyue of the imperial family. They are also the two most outstanding princesses of this generation of the imperial family.

And this one is Prince Ice Axe of the Jia Ma Empire, a genuine Dou Wang strongman."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhan and other senior members of the Xiao family showed surprise on their faces, and hurriedly saluted the three people.

After all, they are still nominally subjects of the Gama Empire, so when they meet members of the royal family, they naturally need to be low-key.

The two most outstanding princesses of the royal family of the time and a prince with the strength of a Dou Wang came here, which was enough to show how much importance the Jia Ma royal family attached to the Xiao family's trip.

"Patriarch Xiao, you don't have to be so polite. Haha, your Xiao family will soon become another towering mountain in the empire, so there is no need to be so polite."

Seeing Xiao Zhan and the others about to salute, Yao Ye hurriedly reached out to support Xiao Zhan and the others, and then looked with curiosity and surprise at the only young man on the side who did not salute but just nodded lightly.

“I guess this person must be Xiao Yan, the most popular and legendary genius boy in our Jia Ma Empire.

Indeed, his eyes are like torches, and they are priceless."

Yao Ye did not say a word about Xiao Yan's almost rude behavior. According to the imperial etiquette, commoners should kneel on one knee when meeting the imperial princess, while nobles or aristocratic families should bow to show their respect.

Although the Xiao family is not a noble family, they are also a real aristocratic family. Naturally, they don't need to perform the kneeling ceremony, but they should bow.

However, ever since Xiao Yan had a master who even the royal family feared, he had already jumped out of this class. In fact, the families or individuals with real status in the Jia Ma Empire only gave face to the royal family and paid certain taxes.

They really don't care much about the royal family. After all, the Douqi Continent is a world where an individual's martial arts skills can surpass those of a country.

Seeing Yao Ye's gaze sweeping over him, Xiao Yan also smiled slightly, and finally walked out and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yao Ye, Yao Yue and the old man Prince Bing Axe behind them.

"You are all guests from afar, please come to my Xiao family and have a seat."

Xiao Yan's hands briefly touched the two princesses before releasing them, just right and without losing courtesy.

Looking at the young man's clear dark eyes without the slightest desire, Yao Ye's evaluation of Xiao Yan rose to a higher level again.

On the contrary, Ya Fei who was standing by was slightly startled after seeing this scene. Although Xiao Yan's behavior just now was polite and reserved, it also proved that he did not seem to have the slightest intention of falling in love with these royal sisters.

Although there was a smile in those eyes, there was also a vague sense of distance, unlike when they were looking at me, which turned into a kind of passion and gentleness.

"It turns out that this little guy doesn't become like this every time he sees a beautiful woman."

Looking at this scene, Ya Fei felt inexplicably better, but when she thought of the excellent yet somewhat inferior girl beside Xiao Yan, she felt inexplicably pressured again.

After some preliminary negotiations, Xiao Yan and his party also brought the royal family to the hall to visit and discuss. Although they were not very familiar with each other, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, Yao Ye and the others were all shrewd people, so they never lacked topics.

During this process, Yao Ye had been observing Xiao Yan, but she found that Xiao Yan's gaze never seemed to stay on them sisters for too long. Instead, he looked at Ya Fei from time to time with a hint of ambiguity.

"Could it be that the Mittel family actually took action in secret ahead of time?"

With countless thoughts in his mind, Yao Ye suddenly understood vaguely why Ya Fei had been able to develop the business of a small city like Wutan City to such a level in the past year.

It turns out that behind all this, he had already hooked up with the peerless genius of the Xiao family. As the saying goes, one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Considering the empire's contempt for Wutan City, when Xiao Yan's reputation as a genius reached the imperial capital, it is estimated that Ya Fei had already grasped the latter.

"You are so good, Yafei, you have long legs and big breasts, you are really something!"

With a helpless sigh in his heart, Yao Ye finally returned to the main topic.

"Chief Xiao Zhan, Yao Ye's visit this time is not just to express his condolences. I have two gifts for Chief Xiao Zhan and Young Master Xiao Yan."

If Yao Ye really gained anything from this trip, it was that she could find out from Xiao Yan's words that the other party did not seem to have any interest in so-called power or the like. This made her feel slightly relieved.

Although he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for the royal family to win over Xiao Yan, after knowing that Xiao Yan did not have much ambition for the Jia Ma Empire, this most basic goal was finally achieved.

Hearing Yao Ye's words, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan were both slightly stunned. After a moment, they saw Yao Ye finally stand up slowly, take two steps forward with her slender legs, snap her fingers, and a golden scroll appeared in her jade hand.

"Xiao Zhan of Wutan City is listening to the seal."

After he finished speaking, although he knew that the royal family could not do anything to the Xiao family now, Xiao Zhan still stood up involuntarily, bowed slightly and crossed his left hand over his chest.

“Considering that the Xiao family has been located in Wutan City for many years, generations of family members have joined the imperial army and made outstanding contributions to the imperial economy.

Therefore, Wutan City is directly granted to the Xiao family as a fiefdom, and the current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, is the Grand Duke of Wutan City. This is decreed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Xiao Zhan, but even Xiao Yan and Ya Fei looked at Yao Ye in confusion.

In fact, a small city of Wutan is not considered an important thing in the eyes of these three parties. However, since the establishment of the Jiama Empire, although titles have been awarded many times, fiefs have been granted very rarely.

And this time, the royal family actually directly gave Wutan City to the Xiao family. This action was undoubtedly the ultimate gesture of goodwill.

After all, once this edict is issued, it means that Wutan City will be the private territory of the Xiao family from now on.

"Haha, why is Patriarch Xiao standing there in a daze? Is he dissatisfied with this reward?"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Yao Ye smiled lightly and broke the silence first. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, but turned his gaze to Xiao Yan who was standing beside him.

"Father, just keep it. From now on, you are the Grand Duke of Wutan City."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's somewhat uneasy look, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, and when he looked at Yao Ye, there was a little more smile on his face.

This woman's political sensitivity is no less than Ya Fei's economic sensitivity. In her previous life, Xiao Yan also brought the siblings Yao Ye and Yao Yue to that world.

Yaoyue later became a master of alchemy, while Yaoye made considerable contributions to the management of the Douqi Continent and the Endless Fire Domain.

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Yan saw Yao Ye suddenly take out another storage ring.

"Young Patriarch Xiao Yan, this ring is a greeting gift from my royal family to you."
