Xun Er's slender eyebrows knit slightly as she looked at the handsome young man whose face was filled with joy. She ignored his shouts and turned around to leave.
"Miss Xun Er!"
The handsome young man's pale face immediately became anxious when he saw Xun Er turn around. His footsteps quickened a little and finally blocked Xun Er.
Xun Er could only stop her footsteps after being stopped by the young man. Her long and narrow autumn water eyes were slightly narrowed with a little laziness as she indifferently looked at him. However, she did not say a word.
" Miss Xun Er…" Being stared at by the young girl's eyes, the young man who had been wandering among beauties all year round actually began to breathe a little faster. His usual eloquence seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
"Young master Jia Lie Ao, if there's nothing else, please move aside.”
Xun Er finally opened her mouth as she looked at the young man, whose face had turned a little red. The young lady's tender and soft voice caused a somewhat sickly red flush to immediately surge onto the pale face of the young man opposite her.
"Hehe, Miss Xun Er, what do you want to buy in the market? I happen to be free. Why don't we take a walk together?”Taking a deep breath in his heart, the smile on Jia Lie Ao's face was bright and warm. This kind of smile, coupled with his identity and appearance, had allowed him to successfully bring back a beauty several times.
"Young master Jia Lie Ao, I've already said that I have something to do! Can you please move aside?" Xun Er's small mouth slightly pursed, her voice so calm that there was not the slightest fluctuation.
After being rejected by Xun Er, Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched. However, the smile on his face remained. He reached out his hand and rummaged through his clothes. Finally, he took out a bracelet. The bracelet was light blue and gold in color. The chain was made of gold and blue iron. At the joint of the bracelet, there was a green magic crystal that had been ground into the shape of a round bead. A faint green light shone from it, making the chain look beautiful. It seemed that this small bracelet was definitely not cheap.
"Hehehe, Miss Xun Er has something to do, Jia Lie Ao is forcing him to stop.”Jia Lie Ao carefully held the bracelet and smiled politely: "This is the Wood Spirit Bracelet that I just bought in the market. Although it is not a precious item, there is a level 1 wood attribute magic crystal on it. It has a very good effect on the recovery of Dou Qi. Miss Xun Er has not yet become a Dou Zhe. This is the most suitable accessory for you. Miss Xun Er, please do not reject this small gift. Otherwise, Jia Lie Ao will be embarrassed in front of his subordinates…" Jia Lie Ao even deliberately made a little joke, and his subordinates around him also cooperated and laughed a few times.
Looking at Jia Lie Ao's actions, Xun Er's brows furrowed once again. She felt somewhat helpless towards this sticky candy.
Xun Er was just about to decline when her gaze suddenly paused on the green colored magical crystal at the joint of the bracelet. Recalling how Xiao Yan had painstakingly searched for the wood affinity magical crystal earlier, Xun Er's long eyelashes could not help but gently blink. Her cold little face also appeared to have become a little gentler…
Seeing that Xun Er seemed to have the intention to move, Jia Lie Ao's heart was filled with joy. He hurriedly passed the Wood Spirit Chain forward and smiled: "Miss Xun Er, there is no need to be so polite. The Jia Lie Clan and the Xiao Clan are both ranked as the three great clans of Wu Tan City.”
"Get the bracelet and give the mo crystal to Xiao Yan ge-ge. That bracelet…I lost it when he wasn't paying attention.”A playful thought flashed across Xun Er's heart. She no longer hesitated and was just about to extend her hand when a hand quickly grabbed her small hand.
Xun Er was startled when her hand was grabbed. The Dou Qi within her body swiftly circulated. Just as her wrist was about to break free, the young man's soft snort caused her to obediently stop struggling.
Xun Er shifted her gaze slightly and saw Xiao Yan, who had suddenly appeared behind her. Her gaze shifted a little, only to see a tender little face with a warm smile.
"That…" Xiao Yan took out a light green bracelet and handed it to Xun Er."This bracelet is for you. I wonder if you like it.”
When Jia Lie Ao's gaze swept over the bracelet on Xiao Yan's hand, he was somewhat stunned and laughed.
The bracelet in Xiao Yan's hand, from the material point of view, was obviously a street stall item that did not exceed five gold coins. His Wood Spirit Chain was an authentic magic crystal jewelry. When he bought it, he spent more than a thousand gold coins. The two bracelets, regardless of the style, price, or practicality, were completely different. There was no comparison at all. Therefore, when Jia Lie Ao saw that Xiao Yan actually gave Xun Er such a shabby jewelry, he really could not help but say mockingly,"Young master Xiao Yan, although I know that your position in your clan is not high, but…but you don't have to humiliate Young Lady Xun Er like this, right?”
Ignoring Jia Lie Ao's ridicule, Xiao Yan waved his hand at the girl who was staring at the bracelet in a daze and said worriedly: "You don't like it? Then just throw it away."
"Chi…" Hearing Xiao Yan's words, not only did Jia Lie Ao burst out laughing, even the group of subordinates beside him also laughed mockingly.
However, the mocking laughter did not last for long. It was as if their necks had suddenly been cut off. Their throats were suddenly broken. The shocked appearance of everyone with their mouths open was extremely comical.
The young lady, who was originally in a daze, was awakened by Xiao Yan's actions. Her hands swiftly snatched the bracelet under the control of her subconscious mind. Only after the bracelet was in her hands did Xun Er recover. She seemed to have been a little too anxious…
A faint blush surfaced on her fair and delicate face. However, Xun Er was also not an ordinary person. After feeling a little shy, she gracefully put the bracelet on her fair and clean wrist. She raised her head and revealed an elegant smile to Xiao Yan,"Thank you, Xiao Yan ge-ge." Xiao Yan merely rubbed his head.
Jia Lie Ao's expression was somewhat unnatural as he looked at Xun Er, who was showing a normal young lady's posture in front of Xiao Yan. There was some jealousy on his face as he laughed dryly: "Ha ha, it is unexpected that Miss Xun Er's hobbies are so different. I have miscalculated a little.”
Xiao Yan glanced at Jia Lie Ao in front of him. His gaze swept over the golden star on his chest and his heart could not help but feel a little surprised: "The original Xiao Yan's memory should have been 9 Duan Qi last year, right? It is unexpected that he has successfully condensed a Dou Qi vortex this year. He is only twenty-one years old and has only become a one star Dou Zhe. This talent should barely be considered high grade…"
Seeing that this fellow had no intention of leaving, Xiao Yan curled his lips. His lazy words did not show any politeness because of the other party's strength. The relationship between the Xiao clan and the Jia Lie clan was not good to begin with. Therefore, there was no need for him to show any low profile. Xiao Yan said,"Young master Jia Lie Ao, the entire Wu Tan City knows about your playboy habits. However, Xun Er is still young and doesn't have time to play the puppy love game with you. So, in the future, I'll have to trouble you to harm other families 'daughters.”
"Stay away from him in the future, okay?”
After saying this, Xiao Yan ignored Jia Lie Ao's ugly expression and relied on his age to turn around and speak to Xun Er.
"Oh."
Xun Er's intelligent eyes blinked and nodded her head indifferently. To her, Jia Lie Ao was just a stranger whom she had met a few times. To her, Xiao Yan was irreplaceable. Since he said to stay away, then stay away.
This kind of multiple-choice question was not difficult for Aroma.
Seeing Xun Er nod and agree to Xiao Yan's words, the corner of Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched and his fists creaked as he viciously stared at the calm youth in front of him.
The group of subordinates behind Jia Lie Ao saw their master's ugly expression and very cleverly stepped forward, faintly surrounding the two of them. Their gazes were mixed with ill intentions.
In the depths of the market, there were also quite a number of people. Seeing the incident here, they could not help but look over curiously. Xiao Yan and Jia Lie Ao were also quite famous in Wu Tan City. Xiao Yan was known as a good-for-nothing, while Jia Lie Ao was known as a playboy who had once cheated on others and then abandoned them. Although their reputations were not very good, they could still be considered as two famous people.
Eyeing the actions of the other party, Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched. A teasing expression surfaced on his tender little face. Tilting his head slightly, he whistled towards a corner of the market.
Seeing Xiao Yan's action, everyone curiously turned their heads and looked at each other. They saw the guards of the market aggressively charging over under the leadership of their captain Pei En.
Pei En brought a large group of guards and quickly ran over. With a wave of his hand, his guards fiercely surrounded Jia Lie Ao's group. For a moment, both sides were at daggers drawn.
"Third Young Master, did something happen?”Arriving behind Xiao Yan, Pei En first swept a glance at Jia Lie Ao and the others before respectfully asking with a smile.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Jia Lie Ao's ugly expression. He casually said: "Young master Jia Lie Ao, this market is the Xiao family's territory. You want to attack here?”
Jia Lie Ao's gaze was somewhat fearful as he looked at Pei En. He then turned his head to Xiao Yan and sneered: "Do you only know how to rely on your family's power? If you were a man…"
"You want to tell me that if I were a man, I would have a fair competition with you, right?”Xiao Yan suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Jia Lie Ao's words with a smile.
Jia Lie Ao sneered and provoked: "That's right. Do you dare?"
Looking at Jia Lie Ao's provocative face, Xiao Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead. A moment later, he raised his head and shrugged his shoulders, his face pure and innocent: "Young master Jia Lie Ao, I want to ask, how old are you this year?”
Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched, his face dark and silent.
"Big brother, you're 21 this year. How old am I? Fifteen years old! You actually want me, a child who hasn't even held the Coming of Age Ceremony, to duel with you? Don't you think that your request is a little embarrassing?”Xiao Yan sighed. The helpless expression on his small face caused Xun Er, who was beside him, to involuntarily laugh. She pursed her lips and laughed softly.
"Haha."
Hearing the young man's innocent words, some of the mercenaries and merchants who were setting up stalls in the depths of the market immediately laughed out loud. Indeed, with Xiao Yan's current age, he could at most be considered as a tender young man who was still wet behind the ears. On the other hand, Jia Lie Ao was already an adult. This kind of challenge really made everyone feel some disdain in their hearts.
The mocking gazes from the surroundings were like a basin of cold water, allowing Jia Lie Ao to regain some clarity. The maturity and indifference that Xiao Yan displayed would always make people unconsciously leave out his age. Therefore, after being reminded, Jia Lie Ao finally remembered that the youth in front of him was only fifteen years old…
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Jia Lie Ao looked at the group of Xiao family guards who were standing behind Xiao Yan like tigers eyeing their prey. He knew that he had no chance to teach them a lesson today. He could only resentfully shake his head and said in a gloomy voice: "In another year, you should be holding your Coming of Age Ceremony, right? Hehe, I think you trash, after the coming of age ceremony, you will probably be arranged to go to those remote villages. In the future, you won't even have the qualifications to enter Wu Tan City. How pitiful.”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders in a noncommittal manner.
Jia Lie Ao's eyelids twitched. He didn't know why, but as long as he saw the calm expression on the youth's face, he would be filled with anger. You trash, why are you pretending to be so profound…
Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Jia Lie Ao coldly snorted, waved his hand, and led his subordinates to squeeze through the crowd.
"Oh, that's right…" Jia Lie Ao's footsteps suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something."Little Young Master Xiao Yan, I heard that your Xiao clan's engagement was forcefully canceled by Nalan Yanran of the Nalan clan? Hehe, it's actually nothing much. With your cultivation talent, you're indeed not worthy of Miss Nalan, haha…"After saying this, Jia Lie Ao laughed and left.
Xiao Yan's eyes were somewhat gloomy as he glanced at Jia Lie Ao who was leaving. He extended his hand and pulled Xun Er beside him, saying,"Don't look for him."
"But he…is too much. Are we just going to let him go?”Xun Er frowned her delicate eyebrows and spoke in a somewhat indignant manner.
" There will be a chance in the future…" Xiao Yan's eyes smiled.
"Uncle Pei En, sorry to trouble you.”Xiao Yan turned his head and spoke to Pei En's group with a friendly smile.
Pei En sighed in his heart at Xiao Yan's control over his emotions. There was an additional respect that came from the bottom of his heart in his smile. Ignoring Xiao Yan's training talent, just this intelligence alone would likely not be too low in the future.
"Ke ke, Third Young Master must be joking. This is originally the territory of our Xiao clan, how can we allow the Jia Lie clan to act so impudently?”Pei En smiled and watched Xiao Yan's manner of looking around. After bidding farewell, he very consciously led his people and left.
Watching Pei En and the others leave, Xiao Yan finally turned around. His hand ruthlessly rubbed Xun Er's long hair as he angrily said,"Girl, don't you know what kind of person that guy is? Why do you want his things?"
Xun Er pouted her small mouth and tidied her long hair that had been messed up. She helplessly spread her hands,"It's a waste not to take something that's delivered to your door.”
Xiao Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry." That thing is not something precious. Is there a need for you to do this? You are the genius young lady of the Xiao clan…"
Xun Er gently wrinkled her cute nose. She raised the bracelet on her wrist and teased,"So Xiao Yan ge-ge has been paying attention to Xun Er.”
Xiao Yan pulled the young lady's hand and once again walked towards some stalls in the depths of the market…Xiao Yan did not realize that his courage seemed to have become a little bigger recently.
After walking past a few stalls, Xiao Yan's footsteps finally came to a halt. He bent down and looked at the green crystal on the stall that was still stained with some blood. He sighed in relief and smiled,"I've finally found it."”
Xiao Yan extended his hand and moved it over the stall. He was just about to grab the magical crystal when his hand suddenly stiffened. His Ultra Intuition suddenly sensed something.
Xiao Yan's hand continued to grab the magical crystal. After which, his gaze swept over the stall without any care…
A moment later, Xiao Yan's gaze paused on a black metal piece beside the demonic crystal.
The black iron piece was very old. It was covered with rust spots and had some yellow mud that had not been washed. It looked like an item that had just been dug out of the soil…
"Hey, Little Yan Zi, buy that black metal piece. It's good stuff…"
Just as Xiao Yan was feeling strange, Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
