chapter 277: request after an xiaoran finished speaking, both of them fell into a long silence. the heavy atmosphere persisted for a while before meng zhang finally reacted. he invited an xiaoran to sit in the room and prepared to have a serious conversation with her. given the situation with the an family, meng zhang considered an lei's face, and if he could lend a hand, he wouldn't hesitate. once they were seated, meng zhang asked, "after the an family encountered trouble, didn't anyone from your clan seek help from the flying swan sect?" since it was confirmed that an xiaoran was indeed a descendant of an lei and she wasn't lying, meng zhang refrained from prying into her thoughts further. as a grown man, he felt a bit embarrassed about reading the mind of a young girl, and out of respect for the deceased, he decided to hold back. "zeng jiexiong's younger brother, zeng jiantang, holds a considerable position within the flying swan sect. with his protection, zeng jiexiong doesn't have to worry about the flying swan sect interfering," an xiaoran explained. "and also, as long as the matter isn't excessively severe, the flying swan sect won't actively meddle in the internal affairs of vassal families. thanks to zeng jiantang's connections, zeng jiexiong has already taken care of the relevant cultivators within the flying swan sect. it's challenging for information about the an family's internal affairs to leak out, and even if it does, there's no evidence." though an xiaoran was young, she spoke in a logical manner and clearly explained the various advantages and disadvantages. "sect master meng, could you tell me about your taiyi sect?" an xiaoran made a request. since they had time, meng zhang proceeded to share information about the taiyi sect, excluding any classified details. during the conversation, an xiaoran asked many questions, inquiring about the taiyi sect's internal situation and the surrounding circumstances. meng zhang was surprised that such a young girl as an xiaoran could pose such pertinent questions, hitting the key points accurately. he talked for quite some time before finally concluding his explanation. after listening attentively to meng zhang, an xiaoran fell into deep thought. meng zhang didn't rush her and patiently waited. after a long while, an xiaoran stood up and said seriously, "sect master meng, based on the affection my grandfather held for you, may i make a request?" "you can tell me. as long as it's within my capability, i will definitely not refuse," meng zhang responded, equally solemn. he didn't underestimate an xiaoran just because she was a young girl; he treated her with respect and sincerity. "we can't stay here any longer, so we planned to seek refuge with sect master meng." seeing an xiaoran speak with such confidence and maturity, meng zhang couldn't help but tease her, "why aren't you afraid that i might be affected or that those bandits will come after taiyi sect?" "it's different. taiyi sect has three foundation building cultivators, and sect master meng is a mid-level foundation building expert. both zeng jiexiong and those bandits wouldn't be a match for taiyi sect." "besides, taiyi sect is affiliated with forest spring watch, not on the same side as the flying swan sect. zeng jiexiong's attempts to use his brother zeng jiantang's connections to oppress taiyi sect with the flying swan sect's strength are unlikely to succeed." an xiaoran was young, but she had a clear and comprehensive way of thinking. meng zhang couldn't help but activate his deception breaking eye and take a closer look at her. at that moment, he was astonished; he felt like he had found a treasure. although he didn't use a spiritual testing plate for a detailed assessment, meng zhang was certain that an xiaoran had outstanding spiritual aptitude, almost on par with his top disciple, niu dawei. not to mention an lei's influence, just based on an xiaoran's talent alone, meng zhang wouldn't easily let her go; he would definitely take her in as a disciple. such exceptional talent and beauty were extremely rare, and he had come across her just like that. "to hell with fate! i won't miss this opportunity." even though an xiaoran hadn't explicitly expressed her desire to join taiyi sect and only sought refuge there, meng zhang believed that once they returned, he could find a way to persuade her to become a disciple of taiyi sect. "you can rest assured. i will do everything in my power to protect you and your brother. once we're at taiyi sect, not even the gods themselves could take you away from us." meng zhang gave a solemn promise.
