Nalan Family.
The black-faced Dou Wang leaned against the bedside. After three years of Scorching Poison torture, the originally tall, muscular and mighty Nalan Jie was now as skinny as a stick, with deeply sunken eye sockets, looking as if he might drive away at any time.
His family knows his own affairs, and Nalan Jie is very aware of his condition. If it weren't for Dou Wang's strength, various elixirs, and the help of alchemists from time to time, he would probably not be able to hold on long ago.
But even so, he also knew that as Scorching Poison gradually penetrated into his bones, the effect of these methods would only become worse and worse. He could only persist for about five years at most.
And once he fell, the situation of the huge Nalan Family would inevitably deteriorate.
Fortunately, there is another Nalan Yanran. When the other party grows up, Nalan Family should have a chance to return to the list of Three Great Clans.
"How is Yanran doing now?"
With complicated thoughts, Nalan Jie asked his son who was not a child in front of the bed.
I don't know what my father was thinking, but when I heard the mention of Nalan Yanran, a smile appeared on Nalan Su's face, with a trace of pride.
"Father, I received a message from Yanran the day before yesterday. She has already broken through Dou Qi Stage Nine for quite some time. Now she just needs to polish her foundation and she should be promoted to Dou Zhe within half a year."
"Not bad."
Nalan Yanran is now in his early thirties, less than fourteen in half a year. With the support of the Nalan Family and the teachings of Yun Yun, it shouldn't be difficult to surpass him in the future, but I don't know how many years it will take.
Suddenly, he thought of another person.
"Xiao Family is engaged to Yanran. How is Xiao Yan doing now? Has his physical problem been resolved?"
"No, it's still Three-Stage Dou Qi. Now he is a well-known trash over there. No matter how tall he stood before, he is now so pitiful. Father, do we really want Yanran to fall into this pit of fire? What about the engagement?"
When the engagement was mentioned, Nalan Su couldn't help but frown.
At this time, he had completely forgotten how happy he laughed when he heard Xiao Yan, eleven years old, Dou Zhe, more than two years ago.
Nalan Jie frowned slightly, but finally shook his head and did not continue the topic.
He knew that both father and daughter were dissatisfied with the engagement, especially Nalan Yanran, whose resistance was getting stronger and stronger.
But this was something he and Xiao Lin had personally agreed upon at the beginning, and now he couldn't do such a thing because he disliked others because they turned from geniuses to waste. Although he had some thoughts in his heart, he cared more about his face and didn't want to be judged by others.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Did you go to the Imperial Palace again today?"
"I went, but I didn't see anyone. That guy was so arrogant because of the Imperial Family's favor, he didn't take us Nalan Family seriously at all." Nalan Su said angrily.
With his status, he visited a junior and failed to see anyone three times, which made him feel quite resentful. Liu Bei only invited Sleeping Dragon to visit the thatched cottage three times.
Well, although there are no Imperial Uncle Liu and Sleeping Dragon here, that's what it means.
Nalan Jie also frowned. The difference was that he was more disappointed with the son in front of him than with the young man he had never met.
"Don't say this kind of thing again. Da Dou Shi, who is in his teens, is always a guest wherever he goes. Yun Yun, before he joined Gate of Life and Death, his cultivation speed was not as fast as him. The future Jia Ma Empire, the person who has the greatest hope of breaking through Dou Zong is not Imperial Family, nor Misty Cloud Sect and Alchemist Guild. He is the one with the greatest hope."
"If you really have any thoughts, just keep them in your heart. Also, we have gotten too close to the Misty Cloud Sect in the past few years. In the future, we should keep an appropriate distance. You should pay attention to this aspect."
Nalan Su responded calmly, "I understand."
Kundan cannot be placed in a cage and always leaves a way out for himself. In this regard, Nalan Su is truly inspired by his father.
He has been doing this over the years, but because of the development speed of Nalan Yanran and Misty Cloud Sect in the past few years, it was a little off. Now that Imperial Family has a genius who is close to a demon, Nalan Family has to swing back to its position.
The father and son were chatting when a servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Master, Mr. Chen is here to visit."
Nalan Su frowned and stood up to open the door, "Which Mr. Chen?"
"Master, he said he came from the Imperial Palace. I dare not neglect him."
Imperial Palace, surnamed Chen? Nalan Su reacted and looked back at the black-faced Dou Wang. When he saw his father nodding, he quickly became serious, adjusted his expression and closed the door.
"You don't want to open your eyes. How dare you make people wait when Mr. Chen arrives and why don't you come in?"
"Master, I have already invited Mr. Chen to the deputy living room."
"If you dare to talk back, please come to the main living room. Forget it, I'll go there myself."
Nalan Su was cursing, but fortunately, an idea came to his mind. Now if he changes to the main living room, wouldn't he tell others that he didn't pay attention to it before? Secondary living room.
Chen Guan looked at the low-luxury decoration in the house, but he didn't have much thought in his heart. He had never been to the Nalan Family before.
He didn't have to wait too long. Soon, there were hurried footsteps outside. When he turned around, Nalan Su had already walked in with a big smile.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I heard my servant say that you came to the Nalan Family. I couldn't believe it for a moment. Some are not welcomed from afar, and some are not welcomed from afar."
"Master Nalan Family, you are so polite. Chen Guan is a junior. How can I allow you to greet you in person? I missed you twice before, and I feel very sorry. After today's practice, I heard from Little Princess that I found out that you went there again. Due to both emotions and reasons, I should come and tell you what's wrong."
Chen Guan stood up and returned the greeting, also sizing up this wallflower.
To be honest, deep down in my heart, Chen Guan doesn't have much favorable impression of the Nalan Family who jumps repeatedly. The same is true for the Imperial Family in Original Trajectory, and the same is true for Xiao Yan.
But talking to people and talking to ghosts, Nalan Family has no conflict with him now, and Chen Guan doesn't mind fighting with him.
Hearing the young man's humble words, Nalan Su felt a little less resentful in his heart. He immediately greeted him warmly and asked someone to bring him tea while smearing honey on his lips.
After meeting Nalan Su and Chen Guan today, I realized that there are so many good words to describe a person. It is really because he is ignorant.
Originally we only planned to brag about business with him for three minutes, but unknowingly we were bragging about each other for five minutes. One was a nephew and the other was an uncle. I don't know how good the relationship between the two was.
The business exchange was over, and Chen Guan got down to business.
"Uncle Nalan, I came to visit you today. Firstly, I want to apologize to my uncle. Secondly, I also want to ask my uncle why he wants to see me, so as not to make you run away too much."
Nalan Su did not immediately answer directly, but sighed and told him about his father and his current situation.
Chen Guan asked with great concern, "If it's poison, didn't uncle ask the alchemist to come over and take a look?"
"Of course I invited them. Now I have invited some alchemists to treat Imperial Capital, including several nearby cities, including President Fama. I also invited them privately last year, but nothing can be done. Eradication, at best, can only provide a slight relief. A few days ago, I borrowed Misty Cloud Sect's connections and spent a lot of money to invite Pill King Gu He, but even he was unable to do anything."
"However, Gu He has provided a plan. If there is Heavenly Flames, Scorching Poison may be eradicated. But in the Jia Ma Empire, I can only try my best to find out where the alchemist who owns Heavenly Flames can be found."
"It's unexpected. Just when I was about to give up, I happened to hear two alchemists talking in the city that day, saying that the genius Imperial Family might possess Heavenly Flames. When I heard this, I thought, is there anyone more talented than my nephew?"
"Although the possibility is unlikely, for the sake of my father, I still don't want to miss any opportunity, so I wanted to ask my nephew about it."
Nalan Su said with a sigh.
Obviously, he was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, but instead of the blind cat moving, the dead mouse was brought to his mouth.
Chen Guan showed a look of surprise.
Hehe laughed and said, "That's quite a coincidence."
