Chapter 20 Royal Visit
In the early morning, the air was very fresh. Xiao Shuang had just finished her morning practice when she heard a knock on the door.

"Young master, the third elder sent someone here, saying that he has something important to ask you to go to the hall."

"I see."

Xiao Shuang responded first, then changed his clothes, and asked Ping'er to tie up his hair. Anyone who looked at it would praise him for being such a handsome young man.

Walking into the hall, there are many people in it, all of whom are elders with considerable power in the family. Sitting at the top is the patriarch and three elders.

Seeing Xiao Shuang walking into the hall, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up. He pointed to the empty seat next to Xiao Yan and said, "Shuang'er is here? Sit down quickly!"

Anyway, they are all from the Xiao family, and there is nothing wrong with Xiao Zhan as the patriarch calling Shuang'er.

"Okay." Xiao Shuang nodded. He already knew what would happen today, so he saluted and sat next to Xiao Yan.

As soon as Xiao Shuang did it, Xiao Yan whispered in his ear, "Hey, do you know what will happen today?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's mysterious look, Xiao Shuang also started to joke, pretending to be surprised and said: "What? What do you know about the inside story? This is my first time to formally sit in this hall."

And Xun'er behind the two of them covered her forehead, looking like she wanted to laugh, how could she not know that Xiao Shuang was acting?But she just didn't want to expose it, mainly because she wanted to see brother Xiao Yan's reaction.

"Hmph, my father told me yesterday that this is a person from the royal family, who is the master of the Jia Ma Empire. Our Xiao family is just a small role in the eyes of the other party."

Looking at Xiao Shuang and Xun'er's curious faces, Xiao Yan's vanity was greatly satisfied. No matter how mature he is, he is only a ten-year-old now, and it is normal to have some vanity .

"Furthermore, it is said that someone from the royal family wants to make a marriage contract with our Xiao family. Don't say that I am selling out, that person is probably a fool!" Xiao Yan looked around again and lowered his voice and said: "And the person you are engaged to is very good. Maybe she’s the eldest princess of the royal family!”

Xiao Shuang was very cooperative, his former coldness had disappeared in this instant, but he widened his eyes and asked: "Then, wouldn't I be on the way to the top?"

And Xun'er couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing.

"Xun'er, what are you laughing at? My news is very accurate." Xiao Yan glanced at Xun'er suspiciously, and then at Xiao Shuang who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. How could he not know what happened?
His face immediately turned red, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Okay, you two teamed up to deceive me, and I will tell you the news as soon as I get the news!"

Xun'er gently tugged on Xiao Yan's sleeve, and her eyes like autumn water looked at Xiao Yan sincerely: "Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er didn't intend to lie to you, this is all brother Xiao Shuang idea."

At this time, Xiao Shuang naturally wanted to defend himself. He widened his eyes and said with some disbelief: "Xun'er, this is all your idea, otherwise you would have said it when I said the first sentence. You exposed me, didn’t you?”

Hearing the words of the two, Xiao Yan snorted softly, and just turned his head around when he saw the guests walking into the hall.

"Hey, don't make trouble, look quickly, isn't that a member of the royal family?"

The three immediately put away their playfulness, Xiao Shuang and Xiao Yan sat there very regularly, while Xun'er focused on the ancient book in his hand.

Jia Xingtian walked into the hall with Yao Ye, followed by several other middle-aged people in gorgeous clothes. Xiao Zhan, who was sitting above, personally came down with three elders to greet him. The smile on his face was almost suppressed. Can't stand it anymore.

After several guests were seated, they were first served tea, and then they started chatting animatedly.

Yaoye looked around the hall, and nodded in satisfaction when she saw Xiao Shuang.

Xiao Yan naturally also noticed the royal princess. He touched Xiao Shuang with his elbow and whispered, "Hey, what did you do with this ice cube? The royal princess doesn't look right at you."

"Who knows, maybe I'm lucky." After Xiao Shuang said this, he glanced at Xun'er behind him and silently added something in his mind.

"However, your luck, Xiao Yan, is also very good."

After a while, Yaoye stood up from her seat, walked to Xiao Shuang, bent down, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "What? Don't you want to show me around?"

"My pleasure." Under the gaze of many people, Xiao Shuang smiled calmly and held the mutton-fat jade-like hand.

And Xiao Yan was a little dumbfounded, let alone, this ice cube can talk...

The younger generation in the hall looked at Xiao Shuang with envy. He was accompanied by a beautiful woman and had a relationship with the royal family. Even the patriarch and elders attached great importance to this engagement. This might be the winner in life.

It's just that the patriarch issued a special order that the marriage contract with the royal family should not be publicized, which puzzled many people.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that now it is just a marriage contract and not a marriage. If something happens in the end after publicizing it, it will not only be the Xiao family who will be ashamed.

Even if you can gain short-term benefits by borrowing the name of the royal family, the party involved in the marriage contract will be in a relatively weak position. This is something Xiao Zhan does not allow. He firmly believes that a strong person will appear in the Xiao family in the future. The family takes it to the top.

In Dou Qi Continent, strength is the most important thing. The Xiao family is now just a small family in Wutan City. The royal family is a behemoth to the Xiao family and must be treated with caution.

Xiao Shuang bowed to the clan leader and others, and with a wave of Xiao Zhan's hand, he took Yao Ye and left the hall unhurriedly.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, could only sit there helplessly. He also wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
Xiao Zhan's eyes were filled with joy, and the third elder beside him was even more beaming. Although the engagement this time was a verbal agreement, the person from the royal family was a strong fighter. With such strength, he could destroy the current Xiao family with a wave of his hand. The other party did not have any dissatisfaction with the engagement. On the contrary, Xiao Zhan also heard a lot of praise for Xiao Shuang from this powerful warrior.

Naturally, this Douhuang powerhouse will be punished. This time, it is a verbal engagement, but if a Douhuang powerhouse says it, no one will doubt it.

Outside the hall, Xiao Shuang could smell the fragrance of the girl next to him in his breath, which shocked his spirit.

And Yaoye seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and cheerfully put forward her own suggestion: "I haven't visited the Xiao family's market yet."

"Okay, then let's go shopping, I'll arrange the guards first."
