Three minutes later, the brown door opened again.
Everyone's heart trembled, and they looked up in unison, and saw a group of six or seven people, all wearing robes with cloud patterns. The patterns were classical and elegant, and the white robes looked like piled up clouds. From the buttons on the lapels upwards, they saw handsome and beautiful faces.
The leader immediately recognized the leader and stood up, saying in surprise, "You are... Elder Nanda?!"
"Hmm?" Nan Xu walked in and stopped at the other end of the table. She tilted her head to look at him. After a few glances, she suddenly said, "So it's you. It's all my fault for not recognizing you at first. I'm so old. I'm sorry."
She didn't use any honorifics, and her attitude was very polite, and she seemed very considerate.
This strange attitude left everyone in the room a little confused.
Until the leader half marveled and half sighed: "Yes, it's been twenty years since we last met. I have changed, but you, you haven't changed at all."
He hesitated for a while between the titles. It was rare for a big shot who was already familiar with handling international affairs to make a mistake. At this moment, he seemed a little embarrassed in front of Nan Xu who suddenly appeared.
Everyone at the table thought that their leader had some thoughts about the beautiful Nan Xu, but in fact they were wrongly accusing their own leader.
It was all because the last time they met, the leader was just a secretary. He witnessed Nan Xu meeting with the previous leader. At that time, he was very curious about this beautiful woman who looked only in her thirties but was already the chief elder of the Xuanzong Elders Council, so he took a few more glances at her.
"Why do you keep peeking at me?" Nan Xu suddenly turned her head and caught his gaze accurately. Her hair was tied up high, revealing a charming face. Her skirt was flowing, and her steps were graceful.
He, who was still unmarried at the time, blushed and quickly looked away, stammering an apology, "I'm sorry, I..."
Unfortunately, I couldn’t come up with any result for a long time.
Nan Xu wasn't angry. Instead, she watched him with interest for a while, then reached out and pinched his face. "Haha, the little guy is quite cute."
That action was just like treating a little kid.
His face flushed crimson. Even though the woman had a powerful aura and held a high position, a boy always felt a certain pride when facing a woman of his own age. So, he raised his voice slightly and said, "Miss Nan and I are probably about the same age."
Not small anymore.
"Oh?" Nan Xu was stunned for a moment, then her expression became more amused. "How old are you?"
He responded unconvincedly, "35."
He even lied about his age by two years.
Nan Xu didn't doubt it, nodded, and continued to ask: "Then guess how old I am?"
Without thinking, he said directly: "At most 30."
Because the other person just looks old because his clothes are too old-fashioned and solemn, but he actually looks younger when you look at him up close.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, the other party started giggling.
Her laughter was hearty and not as artificial as other girls'. She seemed to be so happy that the whole corridor could hear it.
Then, when he was confused, she suddenly put her hand on his shoulder, leaned closer and said, "Little guy, I'm over four hundred years old. It's not too much for you to call me grandma."
What?
More than four hundred years old?
At that moment, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, frowned a little unhappy, and reminded: "Please don't joke."
And it's not funny at all.
"Haha." Nan Xu was still laughing, ignoring his unhappy expression and said, "If you can achieve that position in the future, you will probably see me again. After all, I always come to say hello to every leader."
Long after, he still remembered this sentence and found it inexplicably ridiculous.
It was not until he actually stepped into this position and came into contact with some unknown things in this world that he learned that Nan Xu came from a cultivator area called the Ancient Martial World. He knew that if the people there had high enough cultivation, living for a few hundred years would indeed not be a problem.
It’s one thing to understand it, but seeing Nan Xu from twenty years ago again in person is still a huge shock.
Nan Xu was still wearing the same elegant white robe, her hair tied up high, and a smile between her eyebrows. "I should congratulate you. I'm very happy to see you again."
She extended her hand to express her sincere blessing, without any intention of taking advantage of her seniority.
"Thank you. It's my honor to meet Elder Nan in my lifetime." The leader raised his hand to shake hers back. What he touched was a piece of delicate and soft skin, which was no worse than that of a young girl. He couldn't help but marvel at it again.
The ancient warriors' anti-aging techniques are not just a trick, but they actually stop time.
It would be a lie to say that he was not curious and eager at all, but his reason told him that once he touched these things, he would change his position and lose everything he had now.
After a brief greeting, he asked someone to move the chairs and prepare to set up the table.
At this time, Nan Xu shook her head and said, "No, we can just stand."
The leader was stunned for a moment, wondering how this could be possible, and then he saw the other party leading a group of people straight to the end of the table, and finally standing behind a chair.
His voice suddenly got stuck in his throat, and everyone else at the conference table was also stunned.
Simply because the person sitting on that chair was the girl who had just spoken so arrogantly.
At this moment, she was as calm as ever, with no intention of getting up, and she didn't even look back at the elders behind her, as if this group of people were born to be in that position.
The leader finally digested his shock. Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but speak with some difficulty, "Ms. Ye."
"Hmm?" Ye Lan tilted her eyes slightly. Her thin figure slumped in the chair made her look even smaller, but her aura with a raised brow was no less impressive than his. Their eyes met, and the corners of her lips curved slightly. "Now, we can start talking."
