This girl is none other than the little princess of the royal family, Yao Yue.
As a royal princess, Yao Yue would naturally not lower herself to attend the dinner party hosted by these small leaders of Wutan City.
The main purpose of this visit is to show the royal family's attention to the Xiao family and to win over Xiao Ling, the young sixth-grade alchemist.
So Yao Yue did not attend the dinner, but instead sent the Dou Ling-level army commander to get close to Xiao Zhan.
He wandered around the Xiao family alone, intending to take a look at the place where Xiao Ling lived when he was a child.
Just now, the guard who was secretly protecting Yao Yue told her that beside the pond not far in front of Yao Yue, there was a young man with a cultivation level of only the third star of Dou Qi lying on the grass.
When Yao Yue heard the guard mention the young man with the third star of Dou Qi, her eyes lit up. Wasn't that Xiao Yan that her teacher mentioned?
He practiced Dou Qi at the age of four and became a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven. Although he was not as monstrous as Xiao Ling, he was also the youngest Dou Zhe in the Jia Ma Empire besides Xiao Ling, and he was also the fiancé of Nalan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Nalan family.
This incident was also talked about with great relish by the powerful people in the Jia Ma Empire. The Xiao family relied on the talents of Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan. When the two grew up, they would surely lead the Xiao family to glory.
As a result, when Xiao Yan was twelve years old, his Dou Qi dropped to the third star of Dou Qi, and his cultivation could no longer be improved. He became a useless cultivator, which shocked everyone.
Afterwards, the Xiao family used a prescription and hired Qie Mi Er, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, to examine Xiao Yan.
As a result, Qie Mi Er traveled all the way to Wutan City, but was unable to find out what was wrong with Xiao Yan's body.
Thinking of the strange physique that even her teacher could not solve, Yao Yue decided to see it for herself, so she took the initiative to go in the direction of Xiao Yan.
Seeing the girl walking towards him, Xiao Yan quickly stood up from the grass, clasped his fists and bowed, then said to Yao Yue: "Princess, is there anything you want to talk to me about? If you want to visit the Xiao family, I can lead the way for you. I am very familiar with the Xiao family."
When the royal guard entered the Xiao family before, Xiao Zhan also brought Xiao Yan to greet them, and naturally saw Yao Yue.
However, Xiao Zhan and the elders were also surprised. They did not expect that the royal princess would come in person. This also made everyone more aware of the value of Xiao Ling, a young Dou Wang strongman and sixth-grade alchemist.
Yao Yue did not answer Xiao Yan's question, but looked Xiao Yan up and down with some curiosity.
Seeing that the little royal princess was staring at him, Xiao Yan, who was now mature, felt a little embarrassed.
When Xiao Yan was about to ask again, Yao Yue spoke first: "Are you Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family? And the fiancé of Nalan Yanran, the young master of the Yunlan Sect."
Hearing Yao Yue's question, Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I am Xiao Yan. As for the fiancé of the Young Master of the Yunlan Sect, I don't know much about it myself. I just heard my father mention that before I was born, my grandfather Xiao Lin had reached a verbal agreement with the old man Nalan Jie of the Nalan family. Later, after Nalan Yanran and I were born, the two of us became engaged. I only met Nalan Yanran once when I was a child, and now I don't even know what she looks like. If Nalan Yanran, the Young Master of the Yunlan Sect, and Nalan Yanran of the Nalan family are the same person, then she should be my fiancée. But now I can't practice anymore, and I don't know if she still likes me."
Thinking of his cultivation level that had reached the third star of Dou Qi at the age of twelve, Xiao Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart. However, he remembered what his father had said to him before, that Xiao Ling would help him solve his physical problems when the time came. Xiao Yan's somewhat lost mood recovered.
After listening to Xiao Yan's narration, Yao Yue nodded slightly and said to Xiao Yan jokingly, "Then let me tell you, the young master of the Yun Lan Sect, Nalan Yanran, is the eldest daughter of the Nalan family in the imperial capital, Nalan Yanran, and your fiancée. At the Yun Lan Sect's disciple recruitment conference, she was accepted as a direct disciple by the current Yun Lan Sect master Yun Yun, and then she was recognized by the Yun Lan Sect's trial ground, the Gate of Life and Death, and became the young master of the Yun Lan Sect. With her gorgeous appearance and outstanding cultivation talent, she has been sought after by countless people in the imperial capital. Even Liu Ling, the direct disciple of the Yun Lan Sect's guest elder, the sixth-grade alchemist Gu He, has long admired your fiancée Nalan Yanran."
After hearing Yao Yue's narration, Xiao Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl he met once when he was a child has now become the young master of the Yunlan Sect.
As for how popular she was, although Xiao Yan was a little unhappy, he did not care too much. In the eyes of Xiao Yan, who had lived in Blue Star in the 21st century, this kind of engagement was useless, and Xiao Yan also advocated free love.
Now that his cultivation cannot be improved, if Nalan Yanran doesn't like me and doesn't want to fulfill the engagement, He can just pretend that the engagement never happened.
Anyway, the engagement was just something the two elders mentioned casually. His grandfather died when he was three years old from serious injuries in a battle with his enemy. So there was one less witness to the engagement. As long as the Nalan family did not acknowledge the engagement, outsiders would not say anything.
Moreover, as long as his cultivation talent could be restored, Xiao Yan believed that with his own efforts, it was only a matter of time for him to catch up with or even surpass Nalan Yanran. By that time, he might even look down on Nalan Yanran.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan said with some self-mockery: "Princess, please stop teasing me. As the young master of the Yunlan Sect, how could I possibly be interested in a useless person like me who can't practice?"
Covering her mouth and laughing, Yao Yue said playfully: "You are somewhat self-aware, but your optimistic personality is quite interesting."
After a pause, Yao Yue continued, "But I am a little curious about your strange physique. Your family asked my teacher to examine your body before, but he didn't find anything abnormal. Before we set off this time, President Fa Ma also told me that if you go to the imperial capital, he can check you."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Please Thank President Day Ma on my behalf for the invitation. However, I won't bother you. After I arrive in the imperial capital, my cousin Xiao Ling will come back to the Xiao family and will personally examine me. If even my cousin can't find any problems, it would be unnecessary to ask President Fa Ma for help."
