The Wei Clan's New Young Master Is Not to Be Provoked Lightly

A gentle breeze brushed past her, quietly stirring the hem of Nan Xunran's clothes.

The System Light Orb thought to itself, "Wei Yan is really bold. With the hatred from his past life behind him, he still wants to take down the host."

Now that it sees that the host is different from its previous life, its ulterior motives are starting to stir again.

Nan Xunran slowly raised her eyes, her gaze meeting Wei Yan's.

Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly avoided his gaze, her eyes darting away.

Nan Xunran's expression was indifferent, and his voice was cold as he said, "Young Master Wei, please speak frankly."

Wei Yan quickly waved her hand, looking slightly flustered. "N-nothing!"

She turned to leave, but instinctively reached out to tug at his sleeve, saying sweetly, "Let's go."

Nan Xunran subtly shifted his body, effortlessly dodging her hand.

Wei Yan was slightly taken aback, and felt a pang of grievance: In her past life, even if they couldn't touch hands, they could still hold each other's sleeves, but now they couldn't even hold each other's sleeves.

Thinking about all this, she bit her lip lightly, quickened her pace, and caught up with Nan Xunran, who had already left.

Inside the hall

The servant paced anxiously back and forth, muttering repeatedly, "Why hasn't the young master returned yet? The succession ceremony is about to begin!"

Just then, footsteps approached, and everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.

Nan Xunran walked slowly forward, while Wei Yan quickly walked to his side, pointed to the seat to the left of the main seat, and said softly, "Divine Son Xunran, your seat is over there."

The other members of the powerful families were all astonished upon hearing this. "??"

"This young master of the Nan Clan has connections with the young master of the Wei Clan?"

"Isn't the seat next to the head of the table reserved for family members?"

"I can only say, the Nan Clan's son is truly remarkable!"

Nan Xunran nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, before walking to his seat.

Wei Yan froze instantly, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief.

"He actually smiled at me. He's really different from how he was in my past life," she murmured to herself, her thoughts in turmoil.

[The favorability rating of the female Wei Yan has increased by 25 points.]

[Current favorability: 75 points]

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then, as if waking from a dream, she withdrew her gaze, and in a flash, left the main hall.

A moment later, the stirring sound of drums rang out, and the succession ceremony began.

Dressed in formal attire, Wei Yan slowly walked into the palace along the laid-out red carpet.

Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming flower. She had just opened her mouth, about to speak.

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the hall, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Brother Wei is the young master of the Wei Clan! Who do you think you are!"

The crowd's attention was drawn to the sudden shout, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.

Wei Yan frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, and said coldly, "A descendant of your uncle's lineage? I really shouldn't have spared your life back then because you were young."

The boy's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Shut up! You wicked woman, I will definitely kill you!"

Just as he roared in anger, Wei Yan's figure vanished from his sight in an instant.

The boy was stunned and before he could react, a cold glint flashed.

"Hah..." A muffled groan escaped his throat, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Wei Yan sheathed his sword, took out a handkerchief, and calmly wiped the blood off the blade.

Then she looked around, bowed slightly, and said, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to take care of some family matters."

"... Haha, please, please do as you please," someone quickly said with a smile.

"Young Master is truly remarkable for his age; his cultivation is already so profound at such a young age," another person immediately praised obsequiously.

Everyone secretly thought to themselves, "This new young master of the Wei Clan is ruthless!"

"He's not someone you can easily mess with." Many people's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension.

Nan Xunran watched Wei Yan's every move with great interest, thinking to himself, "His methods are indeed ruthless, but since he has already wiped out his entire family, he shouldn't leave his descendants a way out."

The system's cheerful voice rang in his mind. "Right, host? She's not so stupid when she's not by your side, is she?"

Nan Xunran chuckled softly.

Wei Yan turned her head, intending to observe Nan Xunran's reaction, and was met with his captivating smile.

She froze for a moment, thinking to herself, "He smiled again."

[The favorability of the female Wei Yan increases by 5 points.]

[Current favorability: 80 points]

After this brief incident, the succession ceremony proceeded smoothly and concluded successfully.

Nan Xunran slowly stood up, about to leave.

Wei Yan suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Divine Son Xunran!"

Nan Xunran tilted her head slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

Wei Yan bit her lip and said, "Would you mind staying at the Wei Clan for a few days?"

Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Why?"

Wei Yan racked her brains and said, "Um... I'd like to ask you for some advice!"
