Chapter 27 Xiao Yan tries his best to defend Nalan Yanran

After Xiao Yan walked around the market town, he returned to the Xiao family with nothing except a few violet plants.

When passing by the martial arts training ground, Xiao Yan discovered that many of the Xiao family's disciples were gathered under the stone platform of the martial arts training ground.

Watching a man and a woman on the stage, they were sparring with each other.

Looking closely, I saw a girl in a golden embroidered skirt with her long black hair fluttering in the sunlight as she moved her body.

It was Xiao Xun'er.

That graceful figure, like a fluttering butterfly, makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

Suddenly Xiao Yan's eyes fell on the man in white who was fighting with her.

The man in white, with starry eyebrows, sword-like eyes, a handsome appearance, and graceful movements, who else could it be but Xiao Ran?

Xiao Yan quickly came back to his senses and said to himself silently: "That's Sister Ran, that's Sister Ran, that's Sister Ran."

After saying important things three times,
Xiao Yan found that he was indeed much clearer.

Feeling disdainful in his heart, he curled his lips and complained.

"We're just childhood sweethearts, right? What's the big deal?"

"Wait until three years later, and I will win Nalan Yanran back."

"Then we will practice against each other every day and fill your mouths with dog food."

"Humph!"

Although he was thinking this in his mind, his eyes were still on the sparring between Xiao Ran and Xiao Xun'er.

It is obvious that the body movements used by both of them are extraordinary.

Although they didn't use any fighting qi, they just relied on their body movements to exchange punches and kicks.

But that graceful figure and those agile moves.

To everyone, strangling a man and a woman was dancing, like a visual feast.

Even into Xiao Yan's ears, he could hear Yao Lao's admiring voice.

"This girl is really extraordinary!"

Not to mention Xiao Yan himself, he had already started imagining the scene of himself and Nalan Yanran fighting on the high platform three years later.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Xun'er did not use the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Purple Flame.

Therefore, Yao Lao only noticed that Xiao Xun'er's body movements were unusual, but did not sense anything else.

Listening to Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan shrugged.

"Of course, she's my future sister-in-law."

Yao Lao jokingly said,

"Xiao Yanzi, tell me the truth, have you ever treated your sister-in-law Ran... hm?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes after hearing Yao Lao's slightly disrespectful words.

"Teacher, you want me to go home lying down today, right? Or a mixed doubles match?"

When it comes to this, Xiao Yan gets angry.

He remembered that he once had the opportunity to get close to the goddess of the Xiao family, but it was ruined by Xiao Ran before he could take action.

Moreover, Xiao Ran took this opportunity to successfully capture the heart of the goddess of the Xiao family.

However, things have come to this point, and even if he is unwilling, he dare not show it.

There is no other reason, it’s because Xiao Xun’er is Ran’s future sister-in-law, and Brother Ran has been taking care of him for a long time.

It is enough for him to have only one Nalan Yanran, and Nalan Yanran doesn't look like a girl who is easy to please.

Oh! What a headache!
Yao Lao smiled awkwardly before he reacted.

As a disciple of the Xiao family, he was in an awkward position, and his current strength was so insignificant.

"I was just joking with you, but you took it so seriously? Why are you so ignorant of joking?"

Xiao Yan curled his lips and said,

"I think Nalan Yanran is quite good."

Yao Lao asked jokingly,
"Oh? Don't you mind her coming here unreasonably and breaking off the engagement in front of everyone in your Xiao family?"

“If I beat you, what about your father and even the entire Xiao family’s reputation?”

Xiao Yan said righteously,

"Teacher, look at what you said."

"Nalan Yanran is very polite and came to visit us."

"And the deacon elder of the Yunlan Sect came to accompany us personally. How can this be considered rude?"

"Besides, if a man is not good enough, can he blame his fiancée for disliking him?"

"Although I, Xiao Yan, don't have any big ambitions, I am determined to be a man who stands tall and proud."

"How can you be so self-righteous and ignorant?"

"You are incompetent, why do you put the blame on a woman?" "If it were me and Nalan Yanran, we would be in the same boat."

"Maybe I might go even further than her."

Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao said with a relieved tone,

"I was right about you, kid!"

"I've known since childhood that you have a strong character."

"Trust me, Master. As long as you stick to your original aspiration, I will make sure you win the beauty in three years!"

"Then thank you, teacher."

Xiao Yan replied happily.

I began to think, three years later,
If he defeated Nalan Yanran in Yunlan Sect,

When the time comes, how should I speak my first words?

How can I deepen her affection for me and win back her heart?
Just as I was thinking this, a playful voice came to my ears.

"Emperor Yan, what are you doing? Why are you smiling so obscenely?"

"Come on! Come up! Brother Ran will spar with you."

Xiao Yan suddenly came to his senses and realized.

All the Xiao family members present looked at him with strange expressions.

On the high platform, Xiao Ran and Xiao Xun'er had stopped their competition.

He was standing in front of the stage facing him, while Xiao Xun'er was following Xiao Ran quietly.

The previous words were obviously said by Xiao Ran.

Hearing that Xiao Ran wanted to spar with him, Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly.

He quickly shook his head and said,

"No, no, no, Brother Ran!"

"My father called me to eat."

"Everyone, please go eat quickly."

Everyone looked up and saw the sun, which was barely overhead, and they felt that their IQ had been greatly insulted.

Xiao Ran smiled and said,

"You're welcome, Emperor Yan."

"What can I do to you in front of so many people from the Xiao family?"

"Don't worry, we're just sparring, no need to fight."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head even more vigorously.

"No, no, no, I have to go practice. Goodbye, Brother Ran."

After saying that, Xiao Yan turned around and ran away.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Xun'er looked at each other, both of them raised the corners of their mouths slightly.

Xiao Ran told Xiao Xun'er,
"If that boy dares to smile so obscenely again, you will beat him up severely."

Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Okay, Brother Xiao Ran."

Then Xiao Ran said to everyone,
"Okay, everyone, go back and practice hard, and strive to shine at the coming-of-age ceremony next year!"

"Thank you, cousin Xiao Ran, for your encouragement!"

"Thank you, cousin Xiao Ran!"

"Thank you, Master Xiao Ran!"

"..."

Everyone greeted each other and then dispersed.

Then Xiao Ran took Xiao Xun'er's hand and they took a walk back towards the courtyard.

suddenly,

Xiao Ran grabbed Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran in confusion.

Big eyes blinking,

Seems to be asking why?
Xiao Ran smiled slightly and let go of Xiao Xun'er's hand.

He took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped Xiao Xun'er's forehead.

"Maybe I was too hasty in my moves earlier. Look, you're sweating."
