Arno! Beat Him Up! (Request Collection, Request Recommendation)

As Xiao Xie sized up Nalan Yanran and the other two, Nalan Yanran was also observing Xiao Xie. Although the Xiao Clan had declined, Xiao Xie, someone about her age, had actually become an elder of the Xiao Clan. That meant his strength was at least at the Dou Shi level. Such a young Dou Shi? Was that even possible? As Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Xie, her delicate brows had already knitted tightly together.

"Knock, knock, knock..." Amid the knocking, Xiao Yan, dressed in black, pushed open the door and walked in.

After entering the hall, Xiao Yan first looked around before quickly stepping forward and respectfully bowing to Xiao Zhan and the four elders seated above. "Father, Four Elders!"

Seeing Xiao Xie seated beside Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly inwardly. Who could have imagined that the unremarkable Xiao Xie would achieve what he had today? He had truly stayed silent until he shocked everyone with a single cry. Since he had not encountered Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's horizons were still limited. Otherwise, he definitely would not have considered the position of a Xiao Clan elder anything remarkable.

"Hehe, Yan'er, you're here. Come, sit down." Seeing Xiao Yan arrive, Xiao Zhan stopped chatting amiably with the guests, nodded at him, and waved him over.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then walked over to sit beside Xiao Xun'er. Since Xiao Yan's talent had returned, the other three elders did not deliberately try to embarrass him.

In the hall, Xiao Zhan and the Three Elders were speaking quite warmly with the unfamiliar old man. However, the old man seemed to have something difficult to say. Whenever words reached his lips, he would swallow them back down helplessly. And every time this happened, the noble young girl at his side could not help shooting the old man a glare...

As the Fourth Elder, Xiao Xie could not help revealing a mocking smile at this sight. How disgraceful. The Xiao Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Great Clans, had truly fallen—to the point where it needed to curry favor with some insignificant sect like the Misty Cloud Sect. Besides, knowing what was about to happen, Xiao Xie could not be bothered to say anything. They would tear off all pretenses soon enough, so he had no intention of talking with them now.

Xiao Xie listened as Xiao Zhan and the others kept chatting without getting to the point, nearly bored enough to fall asleep. Finally, at Nalan Yanran's prompting, the White-Robed Old Man spoke.

"Ahem." The White-Robed Old Man coughed lightly, rose to his feet, and clasped his hands toward Xiao Zhan with a smile. "Clan Leader Xiao, we have come to your clan today mainly to ask for a favor!"

"Hehe, Mister Ge Ye, please speak. So long as it is within our capabilities, the Xiao Clan will certainly not refuse." Xiao Zhan did not dare slight this old man and hurriedly rose to reply courteously. However, since he did not know what the other party wanted, he did not dare make his promise too absolute.

"Hehe, Clan Leader Xiao, do you recognize her?" Ge Ye smiled faintly and pointed at the young girl beside him.

"Uh... Forgive my poor eyesight, but this Miss..." Xiao Zhan froze at the question. He looked the young girl over from head to toe, then shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

When Nalan Yanran had been accepted as Yun Yun's disciple, she had only been ten years old. She had cultivated in the Misty Cloud Sect for five years. Girls changed greatly as they grew, and since Xiao Zhan had not seen her for many years, he naturally did not know that the girl before him was his nominal future daughter-in-law.

"Ahem... Her name is Nalan Yanran."

"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, Old Master Nalan's granddaughter?" Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, then his face filled with joy, as though he had remembered what happened all those years ago. He hurriedly gave the young girl a warm smile. "So it's Niece Nalan. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for so many years. Don't blame your uncle for failing to recognize you."

This sudden development left everyone slightly stunned. The Three Elders exchanged glances, their brows involuntarily furrowing...

"Uncle Xiao, I'm the one who should apologize for never coming to visit you. How could I possibly blame Uncle Xiao?" Nalan Yanran said with a sweet smile.

"Hehe, Niece Nalan, I never expected Sect Master Yun to take you as her disciple. What remarkable talent!" Xiao Zhan praised with a smile.

"Yanran was merely lucky..." Nalan Yanran smiled faintly as she humored Xiao Zhan, while signaling Ge Ye at the same time.

"Hehe, Clan Leader Xiao, the matter I have come to request today concerns Yanran. Moreover, Sect Master herself personally raised this matter." Ge Ye chuckled softly. When he mentioned the words "Sect Master," his expression became somewhat solemn.

"Mister Ge Ye, please speak!" By now, Xiao Zhan had already guessed one possibility, and his expression turned grave.

"Clan Leader Xiao, after Sect Master learned that Yanran had an engagement with the Xiao Clan, she hoped that the engagement could be dissolved. Yanran has already been chosen as the future successor to the position of Misty Cloud Sect Master." Ge Ye looked somewhat embarrassed, but remembering the Sect Master's instructions, he could only force himself to continue.

Crack! The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand was instantly crushed into powder.

"Hmph! Do they think there's no one left in the Xiao Clan?! Arno! Beat him up!" Seeing this, Xiao Xie snorted coldly and shouted angrily.

The moment Xiao Xie's words fell, Arno, standing behind him, immediately turned into a black shadow and charged at Ge Ye. Boom! With a single punch—just one punch—he sent Ge Ye staggering back three steps.

Ge Ye was caught completely off guard by Arno's sudden attack. Before he could steady himself, he saw the large man in a black cloak attack again. In his haste, Ge Ye formed his hands into eagle claws and unleashed the Azure Wood Swordplay, viciously clawing at Arno.

Expressionless, Arno threw out a punch. Fist and claw collided, and with a boom, Ge Ye was forced back another three steps. This time, however, the fingers of Ge Ye's right hand were bent at unnatural angles. Clearly, his finger bones had fractured in that exchange.

Arno, on the other hand, was completely unscathed. Although Arno's offensive power was only at the Da Dou Shi level, his defense was at the Dou Ling level. How could Ge Ye possibly injure him? Facing Ge Ye, who had already been defeated, Arno showed no mercy. Turning into a black shadow once more, he continued attacking Ge Ye.
