The Shangguan Family's Sickly Second Young Master-Shangguan Xique

Xie Yue has always been eccentric and difficult to tame, but he is relatively gentle with his own family. However, he is still much harder to manage than ordinary people.

At this moment, Shangguan Xique walked over slowly, his steps unsteady and his face pale.

Watching the two figures walk away, he remarked with admiration, "The third brother is just too well-behaved."

Shangguan Xiling Xieling remained calm, merely glancing at him slightly to the side, and said indifferently, "The Nan Clan's divine son is indeed extraordinary."

Shangguan Xique rolled his eyes at her, annoyed, and said, "I was talking about the third brother, not the Nan Clan's divine son. We're not even on the same wavelength."

Then, he leaned forward and asked, "By the way, do you know him well, sis?"

Shangguan Xiling shook her head slightly and parted her lips. "I don't know."

Shangguan Xique shook his head helplessly and sighed softly, "Alright then."

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes dimming, and thought to himself: I am the one who doesn't understand. I have been plagued by this damned frailty and illness since birth, and can only rely on medicine to prolong my life every day.

If the Shangguan Family hadn't been a family of metallurgists, possessing countless spiritual herbs that could prolong life, I probably would have died long ago.

Because of her frail health, she never dared to step out of her house, and apart from her family, no one else had ever seen her.

It was only after hearing that the Divine Son of the Nan Clan might be able to cure her frail body that she gritted her teeth and reluctantly came out to see him.

Shangguan Xique said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going back to my room now."

Shangguan Xiling nodded slightly, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes, and instructed, "Remember to take your medicine when you get back."

Shangguan Xique replied weakly, "I know, I know."

At the banquet

Shangguan Xieyue gently raised her jade-like hand, pointed to the main seat, and said with a smile, "A-Xun, sit here!"

This move surprised the other members of the prominent families present.

Their eyes widened in surprise, and they thought to themselves, "Should we seat the guest in the head seat?"

Everyone instinctively turned to look at the head of the Shangguan Family, only to find him calm and unresponsive.

Seeing this, everyone quickly lowered their heads, secretly thinking to themselves, "It seems that this Nan Clan holds a very high position no matter where he is."

Nan Xunran stood tall and straight, cupping his hands in a respectful greeting to the head of the Shangguan Family, his voice neither hurried nor slow. "Head of the Shangguan Family."

Shangguan Xiehui smiled and nodded slightly, his eyes filled with warmth. "Ran'er, it's been a long time."

He and Nan Xiao were good friends. When Nan Xunran was young, he stayed at the Nan Clan for a period of time.

Nan Xunran and Shangguan Xieyue also met at that time.

At that time, Shangguan Xiling was in seclusion cultivating, while Shangguan Xique was bedridden due to his weak health. Only he and Shangguan Xieyue had frequent interactions with Nan Xunran.

It was precisely because of this that the relationship between the Shangguan Family Nan Clan grew closer and closer. Even the usually strict elders of the Shangguan Family did not object to their patriarch staying at his friend's Lineage for a while.

Nan Xunran slightly and sat down steadily in the main seat.

Shangguan Xieyue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she gracefully sat down beside him, her skirt billowing out like a blooming flower.

The banquet officially began, and melodious music rose as dancers gracefully entered, their waists swaying and long sleeves fluttering.

At the same time, the servants entered the hall in an orderly fashion, holding wine jugs with both hands and carefully pouring fine wine for everyone.

Shangguan Xiehui smiled broadly and raised his wine cup high. "Ran'er, have a taste. This is a spirit wine I've treasured for a long time."

Upon Nan Xunran's lips curled into a slight smile, and she replied, "Okay."

He raised his hand, firmly grasped the wine glass, took a small sip, and said slowly, "Very good."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiehui's smile deepened.

Shangguan Xieyue also took a small sip, then pursed her lips, muttering to herself: This spirit wine has almost the same effect as spirit medicine, but she really can't get used to the taste.

She subconsciously turned around and saw that Nan Xunran had only taken a small sip of wine before putting down his glass.

Shangguan Xieyue decisively put down her wine cup. When she saw Shangguan Xiehui looking at her, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiehui looked helpless, "..."

At this moment, an elder from a powerful family stood up, raised his wine cup with both hands, and exclaimed loudly, "Congratulations to Miss Xie Yue on becoming the Goddess of the Judgment Abyss! The Shangguan Family's strength is truly growing ever stronger!"

Shangguan Xieyue stood up in response, a smile playing on her lips. She gave a slight bow, her movements elegant and graceful.

The other aristocratic families were quite surprised that Shangguan Xieyue had actually responded to this, as this third young lady usually never paid attention to such matters.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Nan Xunran, secretly wondering: Could it be because of the presence of this member of the Nan Clan?

Thinking this, they all stood up to offer their congratulations.

The banquet ended quickly, and the various families departed one after another.

Shangguan Xique slowly stepped into the hall.

His gaze locked onto Nan Xunran, then he slowly approached, bowed slightly, and said, "Divine Son Xunran, I am Shangguan Xique."
