‘Damn, the ancestors treated you with the courtesy of their subordinates. You actually put on airs to my ancestors. If it weren’t for the sake of Zhen Ni and his ancestors, I wouldn’t recognize you, the elders of the Zhen family, but the elders…”

Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Zhen Ni sighed in her heart, for fear that both sides would froze. She quietly pinched Xiao Yan's waist, quickly moved Lianbu to Xiao Yan, and acted coquettishly at the elder of the Zhen family with a smile: "The elder is still so tough. Why do you think of Xiao Mansion? Do you miss me?"

‘Damn girl!’ He hated Zhen Ni with anger. The elder of the Zhen family became much more angry. ‘How long have you been since you returned to Zhen’s house? Still laughing! How are you doing well?”

Zhen Ni stepped forward and held the arm of the elder, smiled affectionately, "Don't worry, Grand Elder, I'm living here well, much more fulfilling than before." I felt that the eldest elder of the Zhen family was slightly stunned, and then changed his mind, "My father and other elders are all okay, right?"

The elder of the Zhen family finally smiled on his face, 'They are all well, they just talk about you from time to time."

‘The elder worked hard all the way, so let’s go in and have a little rest before chatting?’ Seeing that the elder of the Zhen family began to be kind, Xiao Yao took the opportunity to invite the elder of the Zhen family to the mansion.

'Um."

The elder of the Zhen family nodded, walked into the Xiao Mansion under Xiao Yao's leadership and Zhen Ni's arms, and looked at Xiao Yan with a cold look intentionally or unintentionally.

...

As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the inner palace, he saw Qing Haoran and Qing Muer sitting upright, the eldest elder of the Zhen family was slightly stunned.

Although the person in front of him had never seen it with his own eyes, as the elder of the Zhen family, he had seen the portrait of the new Demon Emperor more than once, and the power of the emperor that Qing Haoran did not need to be deliberately revealed. With just one glance, the elder of the Zhen family confirmed Qing Haoran's identity, and suddenly felt like the spring breeze blowing on his face, a kind smile appeared on his face. He quickly walked to Qing Haoran, clasped his fists and said, "I have heard of the reputation of the Demon Emperor for a long time, but I have no chance to see him. Today I am fortunate to see him. The Demon Emperor is truly extraordinary."

Qing Haoran and Qing Muer stood up at the same time, Qing Haoran politely clasped his fists and replied with a smile: 'Haha, a mere name is not worthy of being the Great Elder. I was also at the right time and happened to visit Brother Xiao Yan, but I didn't expect to meet the Great Elder."

After all, he was the Demon Emperor, and his words were just polite, and he vaguely pointed out his extraordinary relationship with Xiao Yan to the elder of the Zhen family, hoping to strengthen his power in front of the Zhen family.

As expected, although the elder of the Zhen family still smiled, his face stopped slightly.

When he had concerns in his heart, he would think. If he thought about it, he would calm down, let alone a person like the elder of the Zhen family who was in a position. As soon as he calmed down, he quickly clarified the current situation.

This time, he originally planned to give Xiao Yan a favor and give him a warning first, shock Xiao Yan and Xiao’s mansion before giving him a generous gift, so that Xiao Yan not only surrendered to the Zhen family, but also felt grateful to the Zhen family.

The reason for this plan is that one is that he is resentful of Zhen Jian’s affairs, and the other is that he is resentful of Xiao Yan’s resentment to the Zhen family. This not only expresses the Zhen family’s dissatisfaction with the Xiao clan, which is an affiliated family, but also shows that he will not be too dissatisfied with Xiao Yan later. It shows that the Zhen family’s grace to the Xiao clan, allowing Xiao Yan and Xiao clan to be grateful and ultimately achieve the goal of completely subduing Xiao Yan.

But now it seems that this strategy needs to be adjusted.

Although I have heard that the relationship between the Demon Emperor Qing Haoran and Xiao Yan is not ordinary, but what does the Lord of the Demon Emperor actually visited Xiao Yan in person? It means that the relationship between Xiao Yan and the Demon Emperor Qing Haoran is not just as simple as it is. Thinking of Zhen Bufan's unconcealed praise of Xiao Yan and Xiao Mansion, the Xiao Mansion is afraid that as Zhen Bufan said, there is a development foundation that cannot be underestimated by any force. The Zhen family has never made any effort to these foundations. If they accuse Xiao Yan and Xiao Mansion like other affiliated families of the Zhen family, Xiao Yan may not be able to buy it. Conquering Xiao Yan was a strategy set by the head of the family. He did not want to fail because of his attitude.

Well, you can't just blame Xiao Yan, you have to argue with Xiao Yan on the word "reason". The elder of the Zhen family made up his mind.

After sitting down, everyone savored the fragrant tea with their own thoughts, the elder of the Zhen family, whose expressions were much slower, said to Xiao Yan: "Although this is the first time you and I have met, I often hear your name. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is well-known. It is awesome for the younger generation!"

‘The Great Elder praises me, how can Xiao Yan get into the eyes of the Great Elder?”

Xiao Yan answered calmly. He wanted to answer more arrogantly, but when he saw that the elder of the Zhen family was not as good as before, he temporarily suppressed his displeasure and did not say anything stimulating.

‘Hey, there is no need to be modest. First, cooperate with the Shang Alliance to break the monopoly of the Dan Palace on elixirs; then lead the Xiao clan to unify the Imperial State and move the Xiao clan to Juxi City, while also safeguarding all the interests of the Xiao clan in the Imperial State; Killing Blood Cave and winning the first place. Now people recognize you as the number one peerless genius among these young handsome men, so you can’t underestimate yourself.”

The elder of the Zhen family continued to praise Xiao Yan with a faint smile on his face. His attitude was completely different from before, which made everyone feel a little confused. For a moment, he didn't know what Zhen Ni said to the elder of the Zhen family on the way to the mansion, or because of Qing Haoran's presence, the elder of the Zhen family put away his arrogant heart.

Xiao Yan thought so, so he did not relax his vigilance: 'The first peerless genius Xiao Yan was ashamed of being the one, and the great elder Gao Yu is."

‘Haha.’ The elder of the Zhen family laughed a few times, suddenly changed the topic and asked casually, ‘Are you very busy some time ago?”

Here comes! Zhen Ni and Xiao Yao's hearts were "sudden" and thought that the elder is still powerful. Change his attitude first and make Xiao Yan less resentful. Instead of mentioning Zhen Jian's matter first, he asked indirectly about what Xiao Yan would not respond to the call some time ago. If Xiao Yan didn't respond well, he might be the elder who made a fuss about this matter. After all, it is not certain what the Zhen family's attitude towards Xiao Yan is towards Zhen Jian, and it is not clear what the elder's purpose is for this time. Although the Zhen family does not have to pursue anything about Xiao Yan's matter, at least the Xiao clan is nominally a subsidiary family of the Zhen family. A new patriarch resisted the summons of the head of the family and was taken advantage of the matter of putting on the crime of despising the head of the family and then pursuing Zhen Jian.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Zhen Ni and Xiao Yao immediately felt relieved.

Xiao Yan nodded calmly and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I went into seclusion after coming out of the Blood Cave of Killing, and broke through the five stars. Therefore, the last time the Zhen family promised that he could not leave, so he even told the Great Elder to the Human Emperor to express Xiao Yan's apology."

Xiao Yan's words were clearly heard, Haoran couldn't help but admire him. He thought that who said Xiao Yan was not good at speaking? Didn't he say these words very well? He used the appointment of the Zhen family instead of the Zhen family to summon Zhen's father, saying that Zhen Ni's father was the human emperor rather than the head of the family. It sounded like nothing wrong, but it implicitly expressed the meaning of "The Xiao clan is not a family affiliated to the Zhen family."

‘Oh.’ A trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the elder of the Zhen family. How could he not hear the implicit meaning of Xiao Yan’s words, but he changed his strategy and did not want to delve into the words in Xiao Yan’s words. He was here to win over Xiao Yan and the Xiao Mansion, not to intensify the conflict. After a little silence, he asked slowly: ‘So, you have been in seclusion before I came?”

'That's not.'Old fox, you come to the door when I come back. How could it be that coincidental? I clearly got the tip of my going out to the mansion. What was it that you asked me if I was deliberately setting up a trap for me? Xiao Yan cursed in his heart, but he sighed deliberately and said, 'After leaving the customs, I was planning to go to the Zhen family, but unexpectedly, something big happened in the Xiao Mansion, so Xiao Yan had to go to the Medicine Clan. Now, the elder came as soon as he came back."
