Chapter 101: Xiao Yan’s Arrival
The faces of the few elders beside Xiao Shan were quite calm, while joy could be clearly seen on Xiao Zhan's face.
Seeing Xiao Ming's arrival, the hall, which had been somewhat noisy, gradually quieted down.
Xiao Yu looked around the room and finally found the place where her parents were, spoke to Xiao Ming, and headed there.
Xiao Ming, for his part, pulled Zi Yan towards the top of the room.
"Uh, we haven't thought this through carefully, someone brings another chair here."
The Grand Elder looked at Xiao Ming who was holding Zi Yan's small hand and said with some embarrassment.
When arranging the seats, he had forgotten that Xiao Ming was accompanied by a little girl, so he had only reserved a seat for Xiao Ming.
"No need, I want to sit with Xiao Ming."
Hearing Zi Yan's words, the Grand Elder looked at Xiao Ming with some difficulty.
Looking at the wide chair that was big enough to seat two people, Xiao Ming pinched Zi Yan's soft little face, and after thinking in his heart that Zi Yan seemed to be clingier, he said to the Grand Elder, "Listen to her."
"This... it's okay."
Although he was a little tempted to say that this kind of behavior might be a little less respectful to the Misty Cloud Sect, the Grand Elder thought about it, Zi Yan was still a child in appearance, so he guessed that it wouldn't matter to many people, and she was still a Dou King, so he didn't say anything else.
Pulling Zi Yan to sit down, with Zi Yan's unique fragrance and the soft touch coming from his side, Xiao Ming did not have any ripples inside, and a cup of tea was soon brought to him.
After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Ming was chatting with Xiao Shan, who was sitting beside him, when the voice of the guards came from outside.
"Informing the Head Clan and the Elders, the people of Misty Cloud Sect have arrived."
Xiao Zhan, who had not spoken to anyone, immediately stood up when he heard the voice, "Have they arrived? Quickly, go out to greet them."
With that, Xiao Zhan went to the reception hall, and several elders also stood up.
Seeing this sight, Xiao Shan, who was standing next to Xiao Ming, looked somewhat doubtfully at Xiao Ming, who was standing motionless next to him and had no intention of going out to greet.
"Cousin, what shall we do?"
"You can go, just to greet them, I won't go." Xiao Ming said lazily, greeting guests did not require so many people, Xiao Shan, a Dou Spirit, was enough.
In addition, in his perception, there was a strong aura gradually approaching the hall, the owner of this aura was probably Yun Yun, walking at that distance, in a short time, he would have to return immediately, he was too lazy to do so.
Seeing Xiao Ming say this, Xiao Shan nodded his head and got up to leave.
Indeed, when Xiao Shan had not been out for long, he quickly returned.
Along with him came back Xiao Zhan and some elders.
Beside the elders, there was also an Elder dressed in a white robe.
The Elder's face was full of smiles and was beaming, and his eyes, which were somewhat small, sparkled from time to time as he talked to the elders, except that the Elder's gaze was fixed on Xiao Shan, who stood silently beside him, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Obviously, Xiao Shan's presence had given him some pressure.
Behind the few people, they were followed by a woman with a noble aura dressed in a tight brocade robe of gold and purple, while behind the woman was a cold-looking young woman in a beautiful and delicate moon-white robe.
The few elders in front of them, who were talking excitedly, seemed to deliberately avoid the two people behind them.
It was thanks to the white-robed Elder that the atmosphere between the Xiao family and the visitors of the Misty Cloud Sect was not too cold.
Only when they arrived at the hall, Clan Head Xiao Zhan, turned to the elegant woman behind him and said, "Sect Leader Yun, this is the welcome hall of our Xiao Clan, please take a seat."
Looking at the entire Xiao family who had risen in a gesture of welcome for her arrival, Yun Yun nodded softly and said a word of courtesy before turning her gaze to Xiao Ming at the top, a hint of curiosity shining in her eyes.
"You are Master Xiao Ming, the Sixth-Tier Alchemist who is famous in the Jia Ma Empire, aren't you? When I see you today, you really have an extraordinary bearing."
Yun Yun had not been a day or two as Sect Leader, and this official form of greeting could be said to be skillfully practiced.
It is only Yun Yun was serious by nature and this greeting to the strongest person in the Xiao family seemed too official. At this moment, Xiao Ming, in a welcoming gesture, also stood up and said in an equally calm tone, "I have heard of Sect Leader Yun Yun's great reputation for a long time and seeing you today, you are undoubtedly a great woman among women."
Apparently, Xiao Ming's tone was similar.
Neither party felt that anything was wrong, but the Xiao family people who stood beside them were a little embarrassed, because both of them had a too-calm tone, and using a flat tone to say such complimentary words sounded a little mocking.
At the same time as Xiao Ming replied, Xiao Zhan and the others beside the white-robed Elder heaved a sigh of relief, the oppressive feeling Yun Yun, the Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, was giving them was too strong.
Although Yun Yun did not say anything, the majesty she had accumulated over the years as the head of the Sect was enough to scare people, and the fact that Xiao Ming was acting so calmly made the oppression Yun Yun gave them feel much less.
It was certainly a good feeling to have someone covering their heads.
After sighing, Xiao Zhan and the elders led Yun Yun and the other guests to the top of the hall to be seated.
Once the hosts and guests were seated, the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet for a while.
To avoid embarrassment, the Grand Elder coughed and started talking again to the deacon next to him.
In fact, with the presence of Yun Yun and Xiao Ming, they were originally supposed to let these two representative figures have a conversation, but the only problem was that neither of these two seemed to have the intention to open their mouths...
Thus, they could only talk to each other, so that at least the atmosphere would not be too awkward.
Why didn't Yun Yun speak? Actually, she was just calculating how to ask them to annul the marriage arrangement later, so that she would not offend Xiao Ming, who has unlimited potential.
Why didn't Xiao Ming say anything? That's because he thought there was nothing to say, he's not good at awkward conversations!
Nalan Yanran sat next to Yun Yun, and her pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Ming curiously.
For Xiao Ming, it could be said that there was no one in the Jia Ma Empire who was not curious.
Naturally, she was no exception, and although she had come to annul her marriage arrangement today, she had also satisfied her own curiosity by learning about the appearance of this genius who had trampled everyone in the Jia Ma Empire under his feet in terms of talent.
Xiao Ming looked nothing like the image she had imagined, completely devoid of the domineering aura that ordinary geniuses could not hide, instead, he was similar to her master, as if he was indifferent to everything.
Without waiting until Nalan Yanran could continue watching, a knock sounded at the door of the hall, which had been closed a moment ago.
Knock, knock, knock!
At the sound of this knock, the Grand Elder and the white-robed Elder, who were enlivening the atmosphere, looked at each other and closed their mouths in unspoken understanding.
A figure pushed the door of the hall and entered, the person coming was none other than Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Yan entered the hall, he seemed to have not understood the situation, he first looked around, and his gaze lingered on Xiao Ming as well as Yun Yun for a few moments, he could not help but mutter to himself, 'What exactly is the origin of these few people, even Xiao Ming has come out?'
The news that reached Xiao Yan in the Xiao family was limited, and he did not know who were the ones who were visiting this time.
