Chapter 75: The Humble Xiao Yan Gets Scolded by Xun'er

The young girl, who had been sent to this small place by her own father, took light steps into the room. She respectfully bowed and said with humility, "Clan Leader, Xiao Xun'er is late. Please punish me!"

Wu Tian was speechless in his heart: Punish her? Punish my ass! Does he even dare? But he had to admit, Xiao Xun'er's voice was truly pleasant to the ears.

Just as Wu Tian expected, Xiao Zhan didn't even raise his hand. He simply nodded and said, "Mhm~ hurry and take your seat!"

Xiao Xun'er returned to her place. Though her seat was in an inconspicuous spot, it was as if she emitted a natural glow, unconsciously drawing everyone's attention.

Seated, Xiao Xun'er observed the people on her right. She could easily see through the identities of Nalan Yanran and the others, but Wu Tian's background was unclear to her. She didn't know who this handsome young man was the one who arrived with the Yun Lan Sect. Was he a newly recruited disciple?

Meanwhile, the old guard hidden in the shadows to protect Xiao Xun'er was also puzzled. Where did this young man come from? Why can't I see through his strength? Is he just an ordinary person? That's impossible. Anyone who can sit beside Nalan Yanran can't be ordinary.

If even a Dou Huang level expert like him couldn't figure it out, then how could Xiao Xun'er? This only deepened her curiosity about Wu Tian, making her glance at him again and again.

Wu Tian, however, remained indifferent. After all, he was here to enjoy the show, not to attend some matchmaking event. This beauty contest should be ending soon, right? Can we finally move on to the main event?

In the grand hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were engaged in a lively conversation with Ge Ye. However, Ge Ye's expressions were odd, as if he had something difficult to say. Every time he opened his mouth, he hesitated and swallowed his words back. Even a fool could see that he had something on his mind.

Yet, Xiao Zhan, the cunning old fox, pretended not to notice and continued chatting with the elders, keeping Ge Ye talking until his throat was dry.

"Father, Elders."

At that moment, a young man's voice came from the entrance. The boy respectfully bowed to Xiao Zhan and the others.

"Haha, Yan'er, you're here. Come, have a seat." Xiao Zhan paused his conversation with Ge Ye and waved his hand.

The young man slowly raised his head, revealing a delicate yet youthful face. His dark eyes gazed blankly at his father, completely ignoring the mocking expressions from those on his left.

As for the guests on his right, he didn't even glance at them. As the third young master of the Xiao Clan, it would be disrespectful to look directly at guests especially honored ones. His low status in the clan didn't allow him to make such mistakes.

Though Xiao Yan didn't look at them, the people on the right were all staring at him. Seeing this young man from his homeland, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel delighted. Finally, the real show is about to begin!

Xiao Yan, please begin your legendary performance! Nothing entertains me more than watching people show off!

At this moment, Nalan Yanran also took a good look at her so called "genius" fiancé. Her first impression of Xiao Yan was extremely poor. While he wasn't ugly, he certainly wasn't handsome. Compared to Wu Tian, the difference was like heaven and earth there was simply no comparison.

Moreover, Xiao Yan had dark skin, was short, and dressed plainly. He looked humble and meek on the surface, but his eyes held an unspoken arrogance, as if he looked down on everyone.

Even when faced with the contemptuous gazes of the three clan elders, he merely smiled slightly and didn't react at all. To Nalan Yanran, this was blatant disrespect toward his elders!

Of course, if Xiao Yan had responded to them, she would have accused him of being rude to his seniors. No matter what, she simply didn't like him.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, glancing around the hall's left side. However, he was stunned to find that there was no seat for him…

He shook his head slightly, immediately understanding that the three old foxes had deliberately arranged this. I'll make you all kneel before me one day.

As Xiao Yan stood there motionless, the younger clan members couldn't hold back their laughter. The mocking voices filled the hall, making Xiao Yan feel utterly humiliated.

Noticing his son's predicament, Xiao Zhan's face darkened. A trace of anger flashed across his expression as he frowned at the elder beside him. "Second Elder, you "

"Ahem~ My apologies, I actually forgot about the Third Young Master's seat. I thought he wouldn't be coming! Haha, I'll have someone prepare one immediately," the yellow robed elder said with a faint smile, tapping his wrinkled forehead as if he was blaming himself.

The mockery in his words was completely undisguised. He wasn't leaving any face for Xiao Zhan or Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, come sit here."

Suddenly, a soft voice rang through the hall.

The three elders frowned slightly and turned their gazes toward a quiet corner. There, a graceful figure sat none other than Xiao Xun'er.

The three old men opened their mouths as if to say something, but in the end, they remained silent.

Wu Tian frowned slightly at this scene. Did I arrive too late in this timeline? Have their feelings already developed this much? Fathers who ruin their daughters' lives deserve to die.

In the corner of the hall, Xiao Xun'er smiled gently as she closed the thick book in her hands. Her aura was calm and elegant.

Seeing her face, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly lit up. He hadn't expected Xiao Xun'er to call him over. Touching his nose, he nodded under the envious gazes of many young men and walked toward her.

"Thank you, Xun'er."

However, just as Xiao Yan was about to sit down and experience the soft warmth beside her, Xiao Xun'er suddenly stood up.

Hugging the book in her arms, she looked down at Xiao Yan with a hint of disgust in her beautiful eyes and snapped, "Hmph! Xiao Yan, I was only being considerate and saving you from embarrassment. And yet, you actually tried to take advantage of me? If not for Uncle Xiao's sake, you'd already be dead!"

Xiao Yan sat there, completely dumbfounded. He blinked blankly, thinking, Didn't you call me over so we could sit together? Isn't that the whole point?

Faced with Xiao Xun'er's scolding, neither Xiao Yan nor the Xiao Clan members dared to say anything. After all, Xiao Xun'er had the strength to back it up. It was best to just endure in silence.

Wu Tian widened his eyes at the unexpected turn of events. Huh? A sudden plot twist?
