Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian

"Miss Nalan, you've arrived! Please come in!"

Nalan Yanran had barely arrived at the Xiao Household's gate when the gatekeepers warmly welcomed their future young mistress inside.

Clearly, the Xiao Household was already quite familiar with Nalan Yanran.

Furthermore, Nalan Yanran clearly frequented the Xiao Household in the same way.

"Thank you for your hard work. By the way, has Xiao Yan returned yet?"

Nalan Yanran smiled at the Xiao Household's gatekeeper and then politely inquired.

It has been almost a year since the two left Misty Cloud Sect and went home separately. Xiao Yan went to the Snake-People Tribe Holy City.

During this time, Nalan Yanran would often visit the Xiao Household to inquire about Xiao Yan's situation.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan never returned.

Therefore, Nalan Yanran always arrived full of hope, only to leave disappointed.

Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue were quite helpless about this.

However, they didn't know how to explain the matter of Xiao Yan Medusa to Nalan Yanran.

After all, they never intended to reject Nalan Yanran as their daughter-in-law!

They couldn't very well tell Nalan Yanran that Xiao Yan had gotten Medusa pregnant and was now with her in the Snake-People Tribe, could they?

Therefore, they could only let Xiao Yan explain the matter to Nalan Yanran himself later.

Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue's current explanation to Nalan Yanran is that Xiao Yan went to the Snake-People Tribe Holy City to help handle some cooperative matters between the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe.

Since the relationship between the Xiao Household and the Snake-People Tribe is no secret at all, Nalan Yanran had no doubts.

They assumed that something truly troublesome had happened, and therefore Xiao Yan, a Dou Zong, had to step in to handle it.

Because of this, she even started to worry about Xiao Yan's safety.

Today, Nalan Yanran has come to the Xiao Household 100 times to inquire about Xiao Yan.

Faced with the inquiry from Nalan Yanran, the future young mistress of the Xiao Household, the Xiao Household gatekeeper could only offer an awkward yet polite smile and reply, "Well, Miss Nalan, the Third Young Master hasn't returned yet..."

As expected, as soon as the Xiao Household family guard finished speaking, Nalan Yanran showed a look of disappointment.

"Oh, I see. I'll go visit your parents then."

Although Xiao Yan hadn't returned yet, Nalan Yanran obviously wouldn't be so rude as to leave without even visiting Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, simply walking away from the door.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nalan Yanran prepared to step into the Xiao Household's gate.

The Xiao Household's gatekeepers also greeted them with smiles.

However, before stepping into the Xiao Household's gate, Nalan Yanran suddenly frowned and then abruptly turned to look at a certain place.

However, nothing existed in her field of vision.

"It's just an illusion..."

Nalan Yanran slightly and muttered to herself.

Just now, the sound of the wind told her that someone seemed to be watching her.

But she hasn't found anything yet!

That's why she looked puzzled.

"Miss Nalan, what's wrong?"

Seeing Nalan Yanran's reaction, the Xiao Household family guard asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Shaking her head, Nalan Yanran didn't think too much about it and turned to enter the Xiao Household.

At the same time, after Nalan Yanran stepped into the Xiao Household's gate, the Xiao Yi Xian, shrouded in a black robe, slowly emerged from behind a stone pillar in the place where her gaze had just been fixed.

"Such keen perception! But who is she? Is she here to see Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yi Xian muttered to herself.

Although she couldn't hear Nalan Yanran's conversation with the Xiao Household family guard because of the distance, she could still see their lip movements.

She vaguely sensed that the Pink-Haired girl with the cultivation of Seven-Star Dou Emperor had mentioned the name "Xiao Yan".

This is what Xiao Yi Xian cares about most.

Unfortunately, no one could answer Xiao Yi Xian's questions.

"Forget it, why should I think about these things? Didn't I only come here to catch a glimpse of Xiao Yan?"

After a self-deprecating laugh, Xiao Yi Xian's figure disappeared back into the dark corner.

However, even Xiao Yi Xian herself couldn't explain why.

Her original purpose in coming to Wutan City was simply to see Xiao Yan one last time.

However, after Nalan Yanran appeared, her heart became increasingly unsettled.

How should I put it?

She simply had an urgent desire to find out the relationship between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan!

Women are all sensitive, Xiao Yi Xian is no exception!

Perhaps, Xiao Yi Xian was telling herself that once she understood the relationship between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, she could finally give up completely.

For the next few days, Nalan Yanran stayed at the Xiao Household's residence.

She did the same thing every time she came to the Xiao Household over the past year.

Three days later, Nalan Yanran left the Xiao Household.

Xiao Yi Xian, who was secretly observing, naturally discovered this as well.

At the same time, Nalan Yanran, who had just left the Xiao Household, once again felt the same kind of prying she had felt when she came to the Xiao Household three days ago.

"No! This isn't my imagination! Are they deliberately watching me? Or are they watching the people who came to the Xiao Household? Or rather, are they watching the Xiao Household?"

Several possibilities surfaced in Nalan Yanran's mind.

However, perhaps to avoid alerting the enemy, Nalan Yanran did not show any unusual expression on her face, and calmly left the Xiao Household.

Then, several more days passed peacefully.

Until that day, when the moon was high in the sky...

After so many days, Xiao Yi Xian naturally guessed that Xiao Yan might have gone out and had not yet returned.

But she wasn't disappointed; she just wanted to wait for him to come back.

So, after finding no sign of Xiao Yan's return, she naturally prepared to return to the inn to rest.

However, at the entrance of the inn, a Pink-Haired girl was leaning against the door frame, holding a long sword and watching her.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian was taken aback and prepared to pretend to walk past her as if nothing had happened.

However, before Xiao Yi Xian could even step over the door frame of the inn, a long sword was already extended, blocking her path.

"Shall we talk somewhere else?"

Nalan Yanran stared calmly at the Xiao Yi Xian, who was completely shrouded in a black robe, and asked.

"Let's go then."

Knowing that her refusal would be useless, Xiao Yi Xian didn't hesitate much and nodded directly.

Then, the two of them walked one after the other until they left Wutan City.

Finally, in a grove of trees Wutan City, the two stopped at the same time.

Nalan Yanran turned around and looked directly at Xiao Yi Xian, asking, "Who are you? Why are you spying on the Xiao Household?"

Because the feeling of being spied on disappeared after she left the Xiao Household, Nalan Yanran guessed that the other party probably wasn't intentionally spying on her.

So, at that time, she pretended to leave the Xiao Household, but actually launched a surprise attack!

In the past few days, Nalan Yanran had actually been secretly searching around the Xiao Household family's neighborhood.

Their purpose was to find the person who was spying on the Xiao Household!

Finally, today, she found her goal!

That is, the woman in front of me, completely shrouded in a black robe!

To avoid causing too much commotion in Wutan City, Nalan Yanran lured Xiao Yi Xian outside the city.

However, the words Xiao Yi Xian spoke the next second made her nerves tense up instantly.

"Not bad, you discovered my trail a little earlier than I expected."

Xiao Yi Xian's voice was very calm, revealing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

However, Nalan Yanran was no longer calm at this moment.

Because she discovered it, it was clearly intentional on the other party's part!
