The Jia Lie clan disappeared overnight.
This was the news that Xiao Yan received on the second day.
It wasnt the kind of disappearance where the family was destroyed and everyone died, but a true disappearance, as if they evaporated from the mortal world.
The residence, members, guards, assets, businesses, and even recordseverything related to the Jia Lie clan vanished without a trace, as if the Jia Lie clan had never appeared in Wutan City.
Everyone in Wutan City still remembered the Jia Lie clan, but it seemed as though they had never existed, its as if their memory is just an illusion.
The first reaction of everyone in Wutan City was to believe that it was the work of the Xiao clan, that they had completely erased the Jia Lie clan from Wutan City.
After all, the Xiao clan had just clashed with the Jia Lie clan, and now the entire Jia Lie clan had disappeared. It was hard to believe that it had nothing to do with the Xiao clan.
However, the truth was that the Jia Lie clan and the Xiao clan were both part of the three major clan in Wutan City. While there might be differences in their power, the Xiao clan didnt have the ability to erase all traces of the Jia Lie clan like this.
Therefore, this incident became an inexplicable mystery in Wutan City.
Xiao Zhan and the three elders were shocked by this news, and Xiao Yan was also filled with astonishment.
Just one night had passed, and the entire existence of the Jia Lie clan had been completely erased.
It was easy to destroy a family, but to eliminate all traces of a familys existence, including their history, was something that not even the imperial family of the Jia Ma Empire or the largest sect, the Yunlan Sect, could do.
Compared to Xiao Yans bewilderment, Yao Chen wasnt surprised by this news.
The disappearance of the Jia Lie clan was undoubtedly orchestrated by the forces behind Xiao Xuner.
Regardless, the fact remained that the Jia Lie clan had disappeared. Among the people in Wutan City, this matter was hotly discussed for three days. Gradually, the mention of the Jia Lie clan became less and less frequent, until they were completely forgotten.
Next, something interesting happened.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
The Ao Ba clan, another one of the three major clans in Wutan City alongside the Xiao and Jia Lie clan, was supposed to compete with the Xiao clan for the assets that originally belonged to the Jia Lie clan in Wutan City.
However, to everyones surprise, a few days after the disappearance of the Jia Lie clan, Ao Ba Pa, the patriarch of the Ao Ba Family, sold all of the familys assets in Wutan City at a surprisingly low price and moved his entire family out of the city overnight.
Xiao Ting and Xiao Li were Xiao Yans eldest sister and second sister, respectively. They had always doted on Xiao Yan, but their care and attention intensified after their mothers death. At the peak, they even attended to Xiao Yans every need, even for daily activities like dressing and grooming.
Every year, the members of the Xiao clan who were away would try to return before the New Year. Xiao Ting and Xiao Li were no exception.
At that moment, Xiao Zhan walked in with his hands behind his back. The recent development of the Xiao clan had put him in a great mood. The Jia Lie clan had disappeared, and the Ao Ba clan had also fled. The people who used to give him headaches were nowhere to be seen in just a few days, making him extremely happy.
Yaner, how are the preparations coming along? Xiao Zhan approached Xiao Yan and inquired, his mood bright. Xiao Yan responded accordingly.
The progress is going well. We should be able to finish everything today.
Thats good, thats good~ Try not to delay tomorrows coming-of-age ceremony.
Xiao Zhan smiled and suddenly a servant from the Xiao clan entered from outside, bowing with clenched fists and speaking loudly.
Lord Patriarch! Theres a visitor at the door seeking an audience!
A visitor? Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow slightly. Who is it?
Its a young girl who claims to be Nalan Yanran.
!!!!!!!
Upon hearing that name, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xuners movements halted instantly, and their faces visibly darkened.
Xiao Yu naturally noticed the reaction of the two and turned to Xiao Ning, asking, Who is Nalan Yanran?
She is Xiao Yans cousin and fiance. She came here before with great fanfare, proclaiming that she wanted to marry Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning replied softly, and Xiao Yus eyes slightly narrowed.
Fiance Indeed, I have heard Grandfather mention it. Xiao Yans grandfather and the patriarch of the Nalan family arranged a marriage between the two clans.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yus gaze turned slightly dim.
Niece Nalan? Why is she here?
Upon hearing Nalan Yanrans name, Xiao Zhans heart sank.
Could it be Shes trying to urge the marriage matter?
