Xiao Han Was Simply Godlike

"Father, Three Elders!"

Xiao Yan entered the Xiao Family Meeting Hall and respectfully bowed to the three elders seated above.

"Hehe, Yan'er, you're here. Come, have a seat!" Xiao Clan Head Xiao Zhan nodded at Xiao Yan and smiled.

"Uh..."

Xiao Yan looked toward where the clan's outstanding disciples were seated. He discovered that there was no seat for him.

Damn, he really called it. The Second Elder truly didn't prepare a seat for Xiao Yan. Xiao Ning felt a chill run through him. His admiration for Xiao Han deepened another notch.

As an admirer of Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Ning instinctively looked toward his goddess and thought, Just as Xiao Han said, Xiao Xun'er will take the initiative to help Xiao Yan out of this predicament.

The Second Elder, seated above, slapped his forehead in self-reproach. A trace of mockery flashed through his eyes as he said, "Ah, my sincerest apologies. I actually forgot about Young Master Xiao Yan. I'll have someone prepare a seat immediately."

Clearly, the Second Elder had long been dissatisfied that Xiao Yan's cultivation had not advanced at all, yet he still enjoyed abundant cultivation resources.

"Brother Xiao Yan, sit here!" A girl's soft, melodious voice came from a corner.

Everyone looked over. In one corner, Xiao Xun'er closed the book in her hands and waved at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ning's heart sank, and his admiration for Xiao Han increased yet again. Damn, he got it right again.

Seeing Xiao Yan step toward the female lead, Xiao Xun'er, how could Xiao Han let him have his way?

Xiao Han stood up and shouted, "Hold it."

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Xiao Han bowed to the three elders and Xiao Zhan. "Since we didn't know how many distinguished guests would visit today, this junior had several extra chairs prepared in advance. They happen to be useful now."

Xiao Han clapped his hands, and the steward outside indeed carried in a chair.

"No need. I'll sit with Xun'er instead." Xiao Yan spoke indifferently, rejecting Xiao Han's goodwill as he walked toward Xiao Xun'er.

"Xiao Yan. What are you trying to do?" Xiao Han shouted sternly.

"Naturally, I'm accepting Xun'er's invitation and sitting with her." Xiao Yan replied blandly.

"Xiao Yan. This is the Xiao Clan Hall, an important place. Do not act recklessly!" Xiao Han continued to shout. "You are the dignified son of the Family Head, and you're no longer a child. Before marriage, you want to sit with someone of the opposite sex? Even my parents, Uncle Yaozu and Auntie, as well as the other elders, do not sit together. Do you intend to set this precedent of men and women sitting together?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue inwardly. No matter how he heard it, Xiao Han's words seemed aimed specifically at him.

Seeing Xiao Han target Xiao Yan so relentlessly, Xiao Xun'er defended him. "Do I need your approval to decide who sits with me?"

Xiao Xun'er's expression did not change, but her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Han.

Her icy eyes were filled with hostility.

"Uh...

The three elders seated above and Xiao Clan Head Xiao Zhan all felt their hearts sink. Xiao Xun'er's identity was far from ordinary.

Third Elder Xiao Family had been repeatedly signaling his eldest son, Xiao Hao, with his eyes.

Xiao Xun'er was not someone they could afford to offend.

How could Xiao Hao fail to understand what his father, the First Elder, meant? He tugged at Xiao Han's sleeve.

However, Xiao Han ignored him and continued, "Whatever Sister Xun'er wishes to do naturally does not require my approval. Xiao Yan, as for where you should sit, I hope you think it through carefully."

After saying that, Xiao Han folded his arms and sat down. He no longer paid Xiao Yan any attention.

Xiao Yan paused. He truly wanted to sit with Xiao Xun'er, but Xiao Han had just pinned a huge label on him. Refusing an available seat just to set a precedent of men and women sitting together would inevitably give others something to gossip about in the future.

Xiao Yan shot Xiao Han a vicious glare and unwillingly sat in the chair Xiao Han had prepared long ago.

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out:

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations. You have altered the direction of the Battle Through the Heavens Storyline. Reward: 500 Experience Points. Reward: 100 Coupon Points."

"I can't believe it, Xiao Ai. Did I just gain experience?" Xiao Han asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Ai explained, "In the original story, Xiao Yan ultimately sat with Xiao Xun'er. You successfully altered the Storyline's direction, so you were rewarded with Experience Points and Coupon Points. Next comes the annulment of the engagement. I hope Master continues to work hard. The more important the altered Storyline, the greater the rewards you will receive."

"Annulment of the engagement?" Xiao Han's heart tightened.

Given Nalan Yanran's personality and how aggressively she had come today, even if Xiao Han talked himself hoarse, Nalan Yanran would probably never abandon her decision to annul the engagement.

Moreover, when Xiao Yan appeared and tried to sit with Xiao Xun'er just now, Xiao Han had keenly noticed a flash of anger in Nalan Yanran's eyes.

Clearly, after seeing Xiao Yan in person, Nalan Yanran had become even more disgusted with him.

"Everyone, the good show is about to begin," Xiao Han quietly reminded Xiao Ning.

The white-robed elder Ge Ye said, "Ahem, Clan Head Xiao, we came to your clan today primarily to ask a favor!"

Xiao Ning looked at the sheet of paper in his hand, then cast Xiao Han an astonished glance. "He actually guessed the first sentence right."

To prevent the three of them from going back on their word, Xiao Han had written everything that was about to happen on the paper in Xiao Ning's hand beforehand.

Xiao Zhan said, "Hehe, Mister Ge Ye, please speak freely if there is something you need. If it is within our means, the Xiao Clan will surely not refuse."

(Xiao Ning: Holy crap, he guessed the second sentence right too.)

Ge Ye said, "Hehe, Clan Head Xiao, do you recognize her?" Ge Ye pointed to the stunningly beautiful girl beside him.

Xiao Zhan said, "Uh... Forgive Xiao Zhan's poor eyesight, but this young lady is..."

Ge Ye said, "Ahem... Her name is Nalan Yanran."

Xiao Zhan said, "Nalan Yanran? Nalan Old Master's granddaughter, Nalan Yanran? So it is Niece Nalan. Uncle Xiao has not seen you for many years. Please don't blame your uncle for failing to recognize you."

Nalan Yanran said, "Uncle Xiao, this niece has never come to pay her respects. I should be the one apologizing. How would I dare blame Uncle Xiao?" Nalan Yanran smiled sweetly.

Xiao Zhan said, "Hehe, Niece Nalan, some time ago I heard that Sect Leader Yun Yun had accepted you as her disciple. I thought it was just a rumor, but I never expected it to be true. Niece, you truly have remarkable talent!"

Nalan Yanran said, "Yanran was merely lucky!" Nalan Yanran lightly tugged at Ge Ye beside her.

Ge Ye said solemnly, "Hehe, Clan Head Xiao, the matter I seek today concerns Yanran. Furthermore, it is an important matter personally raised by Sect Leader Yun Yun."

Xiao Zhan's expression became extremely grave. "Mister Ge Ye, please speak!"

Ge Ye revealed an awkward expression. "Ahem, Clan Head Xiao, you know that the Misty Cloud Sect's rules are strict. Moreover, Sect Leader holds great expectations for Yanran. She is essentially being raised as the next Sect Leader. Due to certain special rules, the Sect Leader's successor cannot become entangled with men before becoming the official Sect Leader... After the Sect Leader asked Yanran about it, she learned that Yanran still had an engagement with the Xiao Clan. Therefore... therefore, the Sect Leader wishes to ask Clan Head Xiao to... dissolve this engagement!"

Crack!

The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand instantly shattered into a pile of powder.

Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, Xiao Huangtao, Xiao Yaozu, and the others did not look at Xiao Zhan or Nalan Yanran. Instead, they stared at Xiao Han in utter shock.

The seven of them admired Xiao Han so deeply that they were practically prostrate with awe.

"Damn, not a single detail was off. He even predicted filler words like 'hehe,' 'ahem,' and the rest. Xiao Han was simply godlike!"
