Chapter 797 Attending the Dinner
"Why is this happening? Where did the Xiao family get such courage?"
The head of the Fang family asked with a frown. He has already reached the early stage of the Formation Realm. Shouldn't the Xiao family be afraid?
"Could it be that someone in the Xiao family has broken through to the Formation Realm?" the head of the Fang family added.
In the eyes of the head of the Fang family, only the Xiao family can dare to compete with the Fang family if they possess the early stage cultivation of the Formation Realm.
"No, grandpa, no one in the Xiao family has broken through to the early stage of the Formation Realm." Fang Qianjun shook his head.
"Then what gave the Xiao family the courage?" asked the head of the Fang family.
Everyone's eyes were also focused on Fang Qianjun. They were all curious as to why the Xiao family dared to refuse the marriage proposal of their Fang family.
"Because of Nanluo Academy." Fang Qianjun finally gave the answer.
"Nanluo Academy?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned by this answer.
"What does this have to do with Nanluo Academy?" The head of the Fang family asked quickly, his expression condensed.
Hearing the head of the Fang family ask this, the others also nodded.
Isn't this something between the Xiao family and the Fang family? Why is it related to Nanluo College?
What's more, as far as they know, the Xiao family has no connection with Nanluo College!
"Xiao Wenxiu met a man named Lin Fan from Nanluo College. Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao were very good friends. Then, this time Tang Xiaoxiao followed Lin Fan to the Xiao family." Fang Qianjun explained: "They saw
us When he went to propose marriage, Xiao Wenxiu expressed his unwillingness, so Tang Xiaoxiao stepped forward and invited Xiao Wenxiu to join Nanluo College and let Xiao Wenxiu become a student of Nanluo College." "Isn't it past the
enrollment time of Nanluo College?" The second elder of the Fang family asked.
"Yes, although the enrollment period of Nanluo College has passed, Tang Xiaoxiao is a talented student of Nanluo College. She said that Xiao Wenxiu can join Nanluo College." Fang Qianjun said.
"Tang Xiaoxiao is indeed a genius student of Nanluo Academy and a proud daughter of heaven. Maybe she really has such ability." The head of the Fang family nodded.
Then, Patriarch Fang took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Wenxiu to know these people from Nanluo College. This is really unexpected!" "Yes,
Patriarch, we didn't expect this. , Otherwise, how dare the Xiao family refuse to agree to our Fang family's marriage proposal!" Fang Yuhua said thoughtfully.
"Now that the Xiao family has Nanluo College as their backstage, they will naturally not take our Fang family seriously!" said the head of the Fang family.
"This is the most hateful!"
Fang Yuhua said solemnly: "When we walked out of the Xiao family just now, many people outside were talking about this matter. Our Fang family has really lost face this time. "
Hmph! The Xiao family has embarrassed our Fang family, and we can't make it easy for them, otherwise others will think that our Fang family is easy to bully!" said the second elder of the Fang family.
"But, Second Elder, now that they have Nanluo College as their backend, how can we deal with their Xiao family?" Fang Qianjun asked.
"Nanluo College is not the only one in the Great Feng Dynasty. What's more, Nanluo College cannot keep an eye on the Xiao family at all times." The
second elder of the Fang family said solemnly: "Besides, we can't come even if we don't know better. Is it secret? As long as they don't know it's our Fang family, that's fine." "
The second elder is right, our Fang family's face cannot be ruined by the Xiao family in vain, we must always find opportunities to take revenge." The head of the Fang family said.
"Yes!"
Many Fang family members responded in unison.
...
Lin Fan didn't know what the Fang family was thinking. They were still with the Xiao family.
The smile on Xiao Changshan's face never stopped. He was happy that Xiao Wenxiu had met friends like Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao's performance today is equivalent to clearly telling the Fang family that Nanluo College will stand behind Xiao Wenxiu and tell the Fang family not to do anything extreme. Otherwise, Nanluo College will never let the Fang family go.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Fan stood up and said: "Chief Xiao, Miss Xiao, we will leave now. The dinner arranged by the City Lord's Mansion is about to start, and we have to go back to the City Lord's Mansion. , we will make an appointment later."
Hearing this, Xiao Changshan stood up quickly, nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Lin, Miss Tang, you go slowly, anyway, you can come over anytime you want to our Xiao family. Come here, the door of our Xiao family will always be open for you."
"Okay, farewell."
Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao looked at each other, nodded, and after saying it again, they walked out without lingering.
Xiao Changshan and Xiao Wenxiu followed and sent Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao out of the Xiao family.
It can also be seen from here that there is a clear gap between Xiao Changshan's attitude towards Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao and his attitude towards the Fang family.
There is no way, it is impossible for a Fang family to be compared with a behemoth like Nanluo Academy.
After Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao left, Xiao Changshan and Xiao Wenxiu also returned to the hall.
"Wenxiu, grandpa would make such a decision before, and I hope you can understand." Xiao Changshan apologized to Xiao Wenxiu.
"Grandpa, I understand that from your position, it is inevitable to put the interests of the family first." Xiao Wenxiu nodded to express his understanding.
If she were in Xiao Changshan's position, she might make the same decision as Xiao Changshan.
Seeing this, Xiao Changshan nodded happily, then looked outside the door and said: "This time you can follow them to Nanluo College to practice. With your talent and potential, I believe you can also train at Nanluo College. It will grow very quickly, and no one will dare to threaten our family by then."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will do my best to improve my strength." Xiao Wenxiu said seriously.
"Okay, grandpa believes in you." Xiao Changshan nodded heavily.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Changshan thought of something else. He looked at Xiao Wenxiu and asked in a solemn tone: "Wenxiu, grandpa has another question for you. I hope you can answer it truthfully." "Grandpa, you can ask whatever you want
. Go ahead! I will answer you truthfully." Xiao Wenxiu said.
"What I want to ask is, is it because of Lin Fan that you don't agree to marry Fang Qianjun?" Xiao Changshan asked straightforwardly.
"Ah! Grandpa, this..." Xiao Wenxiu's pretty face couldn't help but blush. She didn't expect Xiao Changshan to ask so directly.
From Xiao Wenxiu's reaction, Xiao Changshan already knew the answer. He reached out and patted Xiao Wenxiu's shoulder and said: "Young Master Lin is indeed better than Fang Qianjun, but the people around Mr. Lin are also very good!"
The meaning of Xiao Changshan's words was very simple. He was telling Xiao Wenxiu that if she wanted to be with Lin Fan, it would not be that easy.
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Tang Xiaoxiao. Xiao Changshan can tell that Tang Xiaoxiao likes Lin Fan.
Although he will always stand by his granddaughter, he has to admit that today's Xiao Wenxiu cannot compare to Tang Xiaoxiao.
This is an undoubted fact.
"Grandpa, I know that I like Mr. Lin very much, but I can't force things to happen." The
blush on Xiao Wenxiu's pretty face gradually subsided. She took a deep breath and said, "Even if I can't With Mr. Lin, I will not regret my decision today. I really don’t have any emotional feelings for Fang Qianjun. I will definitely not be happy marrying Fang Qianjun."
Xiao Wenxiu is telling the truth, even if she doesn't If you like Lin Fan, you won't like someone like Fang Qianjun.
Therefore, no matter what, she will not marry Fang Qianjun.
"Okay, as long as you understand what you want, from now on, grandpa will respect your decision and will not force you to make any choices again." Xiao Changshan nodded.
"Thank you, grandpa." Xiao Wenxiu also nodded.
...
After Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao walked out of Xiao's house, they did not delay anything else and went directly back to the place arranged for them by City Lord Liao.
At this time, Yue Shan, Guo Yuanjie, Qiu Chengzhi and Qi Qingxue all came out of the room and gathered together in the garden.
They were talking to each other about other issues.
But during the discussion, both Guo Yuanjie and Qiu Chengzhi could clearly feel that Yue Shan's mood was not quite right.
After all, they all knew that Lin Fan was going out for a walk with Tang Xiaoxiao at this moment. If Yue Shan's mood could get better, then something was really going on.
"Brother Yue Shan, they are back." Guo Yuanjie's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but whisper when he saw Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao walking back.
Hearing this, Yue Shan and others also looked at Lin Fan and Tang Xiaoxiao.
"Are the people from the City Lord's Mansion here?" After Tang Xiaoxiao came back, he looked at Qi Qingxue without saying anything else and asked.
"Not yet, I guess it will be soon." Qi Qingxue replied with a smile.
Just as Qi Qingxue finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside the garden gate again.
Everyone's eyes turned towards that figure.
With the eyes of Lin Fan and the other six locked on him, the figure couldn't help but have a nervous look on his face.
He knew very well that he was facing the geniuses of Nanluo Academy at this time, so he would inevitably feel a little nervous.
"Everyone, our city lord's mansion has prepared a dinner. The city lord asked me to invite you over." The man calmed down, stepped forward, bowed to Tang Xiaoxiao and the six of them, and said in a respectful tone.
"Okay."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Please lead the way."
"Everyone, please!" The man stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Under the leadership of that person, Tang Xiaoxiao and the other six walked out of the courtyard together, and soon came to the city lord's mansion next to them.
The City Lord's Mansion occupies a quite large area, and it is the strongest force in Baiyuan City, so it still has the respect it deserves.
Since there were a lot of people to entertain today, City Lord Liao also arranged the dinner in the square of the City Lord's mansion.
The square was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and various dancers were prepared. The atmosphere was very lively.
It can be clearly seen that the City Lord's Mansion has indeed prepared the dinner tonight with great care, and there is no intention of doing it perfunctorily.
After all, those who have to entertain are people from all major forces, so the City Lord's Mansion has to treat them with high standards.
The man took Tang Xiaoxiao and six others straight to the square.
Arriving at the square, Lin Fan noticed that in addition to the people from the City Lord's Mansion, there were currently two other groups of people here.
