Chapter 248 Return to the Demon Tribe
Xiao Ze once again came to the An family to find An Ran, but An Ran was still out.
Xiao Ze knew that this was the An family's excuse, and he couldn't force his way into the An family's home, so he could only wander around the An family's neighborhood.
At this moment, a group of people came to the gate of the An family. An Ran was walking in front with Tang Shixun, both of them were smiling. The two of them talked about something. Tang Shixun smiled and touched An Ran's head.
"Yes."
Xiao Ze only felt that Tang Shixun's smile was dazzling. He stepped forward quickly and stood in front of An Ran.
"Young Master Xiao."
The smile on An Ran's face fell, and she looked at Xiao Ze with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Xiao Ze was hurt by An Ran's call of "Young Master Xiao". He looked at An Ran anxiously and said.
"Ran'er, are you angry about what happened in Kunlun City last time? I can explain it."
"Explain? No need."
An Ran said calmly with a distant look on her face.
"From the moment you stopped trusting me, there was no future between us. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"Ran'er, you can't deny the relationship between us just because of such a small matter. It's unfair to me."
Xiao Ze felt a slight pain in his heart. He didn't know why An Ran, who used to be so gentle, kind and considerate, had become so petty.
"A small matter? Since you think it is a small matter, I think it is a big matter. People with different ideologies cannot work together. Master Xiao, please go ahead!"
Recalling her past life, it had become impossible for her and Xiao Ze to be together.
An Ran suppressed the strange emotions in her heart. She couldn't tell Xiao Ze that they couldn't be together in this life because he betrayed and hurt her in the previous life.
"Ran'er, I know I was wrong! Can you please forgive me this time? From now on, I will always put you first."
Xiao Ze couldn't help feeling flustered when he saw An Ran's resolute attitude. He felt that he was really going to lose An Ran this time.
"Master Xiao, you can't do it. You will understand what I mean in the future."
Anran smiled bitterly, everything from her past life still vividly in her mind. In this life, if Xiao Ze recalls the past, he will still walk towards Mantuo without hesitation.
"Xiao family boy, you have seen my Ran'er's attitude. Since she has no interest in you, don't bother to pester her."
Seeing Xiao Ze’s frustrated face, the head of the An family couldn’t help but speak up to persuade him.
This is also because he doesn't know the cause and effect. If the head of the An family knew that Xiao Ze hurt An Ran in her previous life, he would definitely punish him.
Everyone in the An family was silent, looking at Xiao Ze and An Ran quietly.
They would not interfere with An Ran's decision, and they would support her no matter what decision she made.
"Okay, I got it. Bye!"
Xiao Ze felt heartbroken, as he knew very well that although An Ran seemed docile, she was actually extremely tough and stubborn.
Xiao Ze bowed to everyone in the An family, then turned and left the An family.
Xiao Ze returned to the Xiao family like a walking corpse, fell on his bed in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.
......
Li Nanfeng brought Shui Furong and Yun Piaomiao to the demon clan Li family. As soon as they reached the door, two servants came up to them quickly and saluted respectfully, saying, "Greetings, young master!"
Li Nanfeng ignored them and walked straight into the gate with Shui Furong and her daughter. His face was stern and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.
Yun Piaomiao followed closely behind Li Nanfeng, secretly alert in his heart. She looked around calmly and found that everything here seemed a little eerie and strange.
The decoration of the Li family's house is slightly similar to that of the Yao Chi Yun family, but there are also obvious differences.
As soon as you enter the Li family's gate, you can feel a heavy breath coming towards you.
Compared with the fairyland-like beauty of the Yao Chi Yun Family, this place is more gloomy and solemn.
There are still pavilions, towers, flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, but the overall atmosphere seems more solemn, as if shrouded by a layer of haze.
Even if the sun was shining brightly, it could not penetrate the haze, making the entire yard look a little dark.
Following the winding path, Li Nanfeng brought Yun Piaomiao and Shui Furong to the Li family's main hall.
This hall is large in scale and majestic in appearance, but its color scheme is dark, giving people a sense of depression.
Walking into the hall, Yun Piaomiao's eyes fell on the ancient scrolls hanging on the walls, which depicted the history and legends of the demons.
The layout inside the hall is simple and solemn, without too many gorgeous decorations, only a few huge lifelike bronze statues and some simple furnishings.
Yun Piaomiao silently observed his surroundings, secretly guessing the background and strength of this family.
"Meet father."
Li Nanfeng bowed to the seat of honor, then respectfully stepped aside.
It was only then that Yun Piaomiao noticed that an elderly man in his seventies was sitting in the main seat in the hall.
His hair and beard were all white, and his body was as thin as a candle in the wind, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
However, his eagle-like sharp eyes revealed a creepy and gloomy aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
"The wind is back."
The old man's voice was hoarse and rough, like the sound of sandpaper rubbing against each other, giving people a harsh feeling.
Hearing this, Yun Piaomiao couldn't help but shudder, and a trace of fear surged in his heart.
"Yes, I'm back with your daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Furong, Miao'er, come over and greet us."
Li Nanfeng's tone was very gentle, but Yun Piaomiao still caught a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then followed her mother to the old man and bowed respectfully.
"Hello, father!" Shui Furong said softly, forcing a smile on her face.
"Hello, grandpa!" Yun Piaomiao also shouted, but her heart was hanging.
The old man didn't say anything, but just stared at the two of them with his gloomy eyes, as if he wanted to see something through them.
For a moment, the entire hall fell into deathly silence, with only the old man's breathing clearly audible.
"Um!"
After a while, the old man withdrew his gaze and snorted. Although it was just a simple word, Yun Piaomiao felt an invisible pressure disappear instantly.
Shui Furong and Yun Piaomiao suddenly felt relaxed, and their tense nerves finally got a moment of relaxation.
The two men stood aside silently, with a layer of cold sweat on their backs.
"Father, I will take Furong and Miao'er downstairs to rest first, and then come over to have dinner with you in the evening."
Li Nanfeng broke the silence and looked at the old man cautiously, as if asking for his opinion.
"Go ahead!"
The old man closed his eyes and nodded slightly. After getting the old man's consent, Li Nanfeng took the two of them out of the hall.
After walking out of the hall, Shui Furong and Yun Piaomiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if they had just experienced a nightmare.
