"Master Xiao... Yanran has already been severely dealt with after we returned. Would you be willing to honor the Nalan Family with your presence at the banquet we have prepared for you?"
The moment Nalan Jie thought of how the Xiao Fan before him was his Nalan Family's future son-in-law, he could not help growing immensely excited and nearly misspoke.
Xiao Fan casually felt around where Zi Yan had just hidden the Storage Ring, only to find that it had already vanished. "Hmm, where did you hide it?"
