The next morning, Nalan Yanran arrived at the Mittel Family wearing a long green dress.
"Miss Nalan, this is where Lord Xiao Yan and the clan head live." A maid respectfully pointed out the Quiet Courtyard before her.
"Thank you." Nalan Yanran nodded slightly. She still remembered Xiao Yan's instructions and had brought her grandfather's Seven-Colored Illusory Spirit Saliva to him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." The maid smiled and bowed to Nalan Yanran.
"Where Xiao Yan and Ya Fei live?" Nalan Yanran's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"No wonder he was so eager to go to the Nalan Mansion and break off the engagement. Hmph, good riddance to a scumbag like him. With him chasing flowers and flirting with willows every day, my hair would've turned green from all the cheating." Nalan Yanran snorted.
"Come to think of it, that new fiancée of Xiao Yan's is rather pitiful too..."
Suppressing all the complaints crowding her mind, Nalan Yanran followed a path paved with large bluestone slabs to the Main Bedroom.
"Xiao..."
Nalan Yanran was just about to call Xiao Yan's name when she heard a strange sound.
What's that sound? Her brows furrowed, and she stepped closer to listen carefully.
She had wanted to go straight home, but remembering her purpose in coming, she stopped.
Forget it. I'll wait here for a while.
With that thought, she found a wooden stump by the door and sat down.
She continued waiting quietly until the sun stood high overhead and its heat forced her to circulate her dou qi to shield herself. Then, she suddenly heard a woman scream.
That's Ya Fei's voice.
As the scream faded, an immense aura suddenly rose from the room. Immediately afterward, Nalan Yanran felt the energy throughout heaven and earth stir to life.
