In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 5 Nalan Yanran

Without hesitation, Xiao Ran went straight out the door and headed towards the Xiao family's reception room.

When they arrived at Xiao Xun'er's door.

As if telepathically connected, Xiao Xun'er opened the door and greeted Xiao Ran.

"Brother Xiao Ran, where are you going?"

Xiao Ran said with a smile,

"I plan to go check out the Xiao family's reception room. Xun'er, you can continue your cultivation, don't worry about me."

Xiao Xun'er stepped forward and stood prettily beside Xiao Ran, saying...

"I don't have anything planned today, so why don't I go take a look with Brother Xiao Ran?"

"I also heard that the Xiao family has distinguished guests arriving today!"

Looking at Xiao Xun'er's smile, Xiao Ran actually knew.

Xiao Xun'er was naturally indifferent and of noble birth, so she didn't care about these things at all.

Such a statement is solely based on his own perspective.

Xiao Ran glanced at Xiao Xun'er's slender waist, thinking of the softness he had rested on in the testing square yesterday.

Perhaps it was the nourishment of the fighting spirit in the Dou Qi Continent that made the girls already have such exquisite figures by the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Xiao Ran nodded and said with a smile,

"Great! If Xun'er is willing to come along, that would be wonderful."

So the two of them held hands.

They chatted and laughed as they headed towards the Xiao family's reception room.

Not far away, in Xiao Yan's room.

Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged on the bed. He opened his eyes listlessly and withdrew the cultivation hand seals he had formed.

"Sure enough, the battle qi I had painstakingly cultivated for one night vanished without a trace once again."

"I'm about to explode!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Xiao Yan was so angry he almost cursed again.

at this time,

A voice came from outside the door.

"Third Young Master, the patriarch requests your presence in the family's reception hall."

Xiao Yan turned around upon hearing the voice and asked,

"Mind your own business. Did Father say what it was about?"

A sound came from outside the door.

"The clan chief said that the Xiao family has distinguished guests and invited the third young master to go and meet them."

"Okay, I understand. I'll pack up and head over."

Xiao Yan responded and then jumped off the bed.

After changing his clothes, he walked towards the Xiao family's reception room.

After arriving at the reception room...

Xiao Yan then saw his father, Xiao Zhan, and three family elders appear in the reception room.

They were having a warm conversation with an unfamiliar elderly man dressed in a moon-white robe.

Standing beside the old man were several young men and women dressed in the same moon-white robes.

The most eye-catching one was a girl dressed in a moon-white robe.

Most importantly, the three gold stars painted on the girl's chest indicate that her strength is that of a three-star Dou Zhe.

The girl was about the same age as him, with green jade pendants hanging from her delicate earlobes. The pendants jingled as they swayed, revealing her noble and charming nature.

However, his aloof and detached demeanor, seemingly untouched by worldly affairs, created a striking visual contrast between the two for Xiao Yan!

After entering the hall.

For some reason, Xiao Yan suddenly felt the atmosphere become oppressive.

Subconsciously, I wanted to find Xiao Ran's back.

Finally, Xiao Ran was seen sitting where the younger generation of the Xiao family were sitting.

That's right, it's Xiao Ran lying there.

At this moment, Xiao Ran was lying on several chairs placed together, his head resting on the lap of Xiao Xun'er, the goddess of the Xiao family.

That despicable guy!

Xiao Yan silently grumbled to himself.

I was just about to find a place to sit down.

Looking around, Xiao Yan did not find that his family had reserved a place for him in the reception room.

Without even thinking, it's obvious who's behind this!

Xiao Yan subconsciously clenched his fist.

He glanced at the four chairs that Xiao Ran occupied all by himself, thought for a moment, and ultimately didn't dare to go up and disturb him.

Xiao Yan knew that although Xiao Ran was usually easy to talk to, he could be dangerous if he disturbed Xiao Ran's sleep.

That would absolutely be a cataclysmic event.

The younger generation of the Xiao family, including Xiao Yan himself, had all experienced this firsthand before.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan walked towards his father.

Seeing Xiao Yan approach.

Xiao Zhan greeted Xiao Yan warmly.

"Yan'er, you've come."

Just as he was about to invite Xiao Yan to sit down, he discovered the scene in the hall.

His heart sank, and he glared fiercely at the three old men beside him.

Although Xiao Zhan was very dissatisfied with the three old guys in front of him.

But it's not appropriate to show it in front of outsiders right now.

He then smiled and said to Xiao Yan,

"Yan'er, come here quickly, let me introduce you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan stepped forward.

He approached Xiao Zhan and bowed respectfully.

"Father."

Xiao Zhan nodded, then looked at the old man in the moon-white robe in front of him and said,

"Yan'er, this is Elder Ge Ye, the steward of the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, and quickly bowed.

"Xiao Yan greets Elder Ge."

"Hmm," Elder Ge Ye responded calmly.

His gaze fell on Xiao Yan, and after looking him over, he sighed inwardly.

Who would have thought that three years ago, a renowned genius from a prominent family, famous throughout Wutan City and even the capital, would exist?

How could he have become a useless person with only three levels of Dou Qi three years later?

After thinking for a moment, Ge Ye turned slightly and introduced the girl beside him to Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.

"Clan Chief Xiao, this is the personal disciple of the Sect Master of my Yunlan Sect."

"She is also the young sect master of my Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran."

"What? She's Nalan Yanran?"

Xiao Yan was secretly startled.

Looking at Nalan Yanran's delicate and pretty face, he was inexplicably moved.

Perhaps it's because over the years, I've been cultivating alone, without paying much attention to others.

Upon seeing the beautiful young woman, with whom he was bound by a marriage agreement, Xiao Yan's throat bobbed slightly.

Nalan Yanran bowed to Xiao Zhan.

"Uncle Xiao, Yanran greets you!"

The back row of the Xiao family members in the reception room.

Xiao Xun'er gently tidied a few stray strands of hair from Xiao Ran, who was resting on her lap, and smiled softly.

"Brother Xiao Ran, that's the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect! Don't you want to take a look?"

Xiao Ran, who was lying flat with his eyes closed, said speechlessly.

"There are so many beautiful women in the world!"

"But even if they're all pretty, can they be as pretty as my Xun'er?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er shyly punched Xiao Ran's chest lightly.

"What is Brother Xiao Ran saying? Who, who is from your family?"

Time will tell!

Xiao Ran closed his eyes, then smiled.

"Hehe, but judging from their voices, they seem to be coming on strong. There's going to be a good show later!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er opened her eyes and looked up at the hall.

Sure enough, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran in the hall looked noticeably unnatural.

Ge Ye would occasionally glance up at Xiao Zhan, her expression showing a hint of reluctance.

The girl named Nalan Yanran remained silent in place.

However, whenever her gaze fell on Xiao Yan, she would frown with a hint of disgust and subconsciously look away.

Therefore, Xiao Xun'er seemed to understand a little better.

Xiao Ran's ability to glean the whole story from just a few words only made him admire Xiao Ran even more!
