A night of gathering, a night of "sorrowful sleep", how much was lost, just waiting for the flowers to fall.
It had already been a few days since Xiao Yichen had arrived at the Xiao Family. The happiest person was none other than his mother. All these years, she had been haunted by this nightmare. Her heart was quite haggard, and her white hair had turned white. She was crying quietly in an unknown place.
Although Xiao Yan was extremely afraid of Xiao Yichen's appearance, he had been greatly affected by the articles of others in his previous life. The comments from all sides were more of a criticism than a praise. Moreover, with Xiao Yichen's strength, he possessed the strength of a Ban Sheng when he was still a Dou Zong. It was difficult for Xiao Yan not to be wary. However, seeing his mother in this manner, Xiao Yan could only try to believe that these things would not happen.
However, the clan was surprised by the sudden appearance of the fourth young master. Other than that, there were even more voices of opposition. Xiao Yichen, who was already fourteen years old, did not have the slightest sign of Dou Qi on his body. People had heard that he was born from the same blood as the third young master of the Xiao clan. Just the influence of Xiao Yan's reputation as a good-for-nothing had caused them to have no expectations for him. Not everyone could create such results like Xiao Chen. Moreover, Xiao Yichen, who had passed the prime age of training, had long lost the slightest value in the eyes of most people.
However, Xiao Zhan was still the clan leader, so there were not many bold people who dared to say these things. It was obviously unwise to offend someone they could not afford to offend just for a moment of pleasure. Of course, it was not that no one was interested in this. The elders who had the intention to usurp the position of clan leader would not let go of such a good opportunity to attack Xiao Zhan.
The inheritance of the bloodline in the Dou Qi continent had always been viewed with great importance. The bloodline of a clan could not be changed since ancient times and could not be alternated. Unless it was a relative of the same clan who wanted to enjoy the strength of the bloodline of a clan, it was impossible in the eyes of everyone from the Xiao clan.
Although there were many strange things happening in the continent, and there were also some evil techniques that could change the world, the price of such methods was not only huge, but it was also harmful to the world in some aspects. However, Xiao Yichen's righteous aura was elegant and did not have the slightest evil aura on him. People had ignored this point.
Therefore, in the past few days, Xiao Yichen's bloodline verification ceremony had become a joke among the younger generation of the clan. What was even more interesting was that someone had secretly set up a gambling game. However, the odds of him being the fourth son of the clan leader Xiao Zhan were a little exaggerated.
After a few days, when the results were out, the people who had placed their bets on the other side howled as if their parents had died. Their voices shook the sky as they lost miserably.
There were quite a number of onlookers in the hall that day. Even Xiao Xun Er was watching with great interest. Xiao Yan was naturally among them. First, Xiao Yichen revealed a wave of touching true feelings, which caused Xiao Yan to feel a lump in his heart. After the bloodline fusion, Xiao Yichen's essence blood and Xiao Zhan's essence blood merged together without any obstruction in front of everyone.
Without anyone knowing, Xiao Yan's eyes swept across everyone present without leaving a trace. The interested Xiao Xun 'er, the calm Xiao Chen, and the stunned Xiao Yichen.。。
back mountain
Nalan Yanran raised her sword with one hand and pointed forward. The green-colored Dou Qi on her body flowed without stopping. Her body trembled like a fluttering flower and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Xiao Yan, who was a meter away.
The Traceless Long Sword slashed through the air like the ripples of autumn water, creating a few sword shadows.
Xiao Yan's footsteps swayed slightly. His body tilted and leaned back from time to time, narrowly avoiding the sword light. His left hand was extended and aimed directly at the other party's empty door.
Although Xiao Yan did not have much Dou Qi, Nalan Yanran clearly understood that the physical body that the other party had trained for over ten years possessed the strength to resist her. From the past until now, Nalan Yanran had never dared to be careless. Dou Qi was attached to her left hand and the pale green glow on it was much thicker than the other areas, appearing more like a dark green deep scar.
Nalan Yanran's palm was thrown forward. Her fist and palm collided. She turned her wrist and her body flew backwards. She naturally cut down on Xiao Yan's head.
Xiao Yan gently flicked the sword body with his finger. The sword body trembled slightly and emitted a clear buzzing sound. His other hand held the long sword. With a clever move, he forcefully snatched the long sword out of Nalan Yanran's hand. Xiao Yan flipped his hand and firmly inserted it into the tree trunk.
Although they had only exchanged a couple of blows, it was extremely dangerous. If they were even the slightest bit careless, they would definitely end up in a bad situation. However, Nalan Yanran's body was covered in fragrant sweat. On the other hand, Xiao Yan was completely fine. To be able to cause a Dou Zhe to exhaust his strength in such a manner, it was inevitable that he had already been here for a long period of time.
At this moment, a black figure flashed out and fought with Xiao Yan. However, the two of them did not have any Dou Qi. Even their strength was not too great. It was as if they were sparring more.
Xiao Yichen was born in the Dragon Division. Although he did not have the slightest Dou Qi, he had been traveling between life and death for many years. His fists, palms, skills, blades, and firearms were naturally all proficient. When he watched Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran fight, he was even more quick-witted compared to others. After watching for a long time, his heart became itchy and he could not help but rush out to compare with Xiao Yan.
After a long time, the two of them exchanged another punch and both of them retreated a few steps.
"Impressive!"
"I admire you!"
The two of them smiled inexplicably when they met, and if others saw them, they would have a feeling of 'appreciation for each other.'
Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Nalan Yanran, who had unknowingly fallen into a deep sleep. He smiled and waved his hand at Xiao Yichen before sitting beside Nalan Yanran.
Xiao Yichen also looked at Xiao Yan strangely. During these few days, he discovered that Nalan Yanran had not only moved into the Xiao clan when she was young, but her relationship with his third brother could be said to be extremely close. On the contrary, she was like a fresh water friend with Xiao Xun Er. She was not overly distant, but she was not as close as he had imagined.
"Third brother, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in close combat skills and have such a strong body. You also have the shadow of the Eight Extremities Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm. If I hadn't learned it before, I really wouldn't have been able to tell.”Xiao Yichen said with some emotion,
Xiao Yan's expression was a little surprised. He even had an expression of disbelief as he looked at Xiao Yichen."How do you know about Bajiquan and Ba Gua Zhang?”
Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was initially a little puzzled and also a little at a loss. His body immediately shook again and again as he asked in a somewhat surprised manner,"Where are you from? Beijing? Shanghai? How did you get here?"
"Beijing. I work in the Dragon Division. As for how I got here, I'm not sure myself.”Xiao Yichen smiled and answered some of Xiao Yan's doubts earlier.
Xiao Yan also felt relieved when he heard this." So you are from the same hometown. It is unexpected that you have become brothers. Tsk tsk, you really have 'everything.' No wonder your skill is so good. So that is the case.”
"Third brother, who taught you? You're so powerful, don't tell me you taught yourself.”Xiao Yichen teased.
Xiao Yan also smiled embarrassedly. However, he immediately shook his head and lowered his voice,"I'll tell you next time. I'll introduce Master to you.”
Xiao Yan stretched his lazy waist. The large amount of actual combat practice with the two of them had really exhausted him. He leaned back and lay beside Nalan Yanran, closing his eyes,"Fourth Brother, I'll sleep here for a while. You go back first and spend more time with Mother so that she won't worry.”
After a long while, Xiao Yichen, who had rested for a period of time, also stood up. He thoughtfully looked at Nalan Yanran who was sleeping by the side, then looked at Xiao Yan who was sleeping soundly. Using a voice that 'seemed' to only be heard by himself, he muttered,"Looks like Third Brother still doesn't trust Third Sister-in-law.”
Xiao Yichen turned around and left. He lifted his feet and unnaturally brushed the ground. However, he paused for a moment, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.。。。。。。。。。
After a while, her pair of eyes slowly opened. She looked at Xiao Yan, who was sleeping soundly, with some disappointment. Nalan Yanran had naturally heard the conversation earlier clearly, especially Xiao Yichen's last sentence. However, she still chose to close her eyes.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but Xiao Yan's sleeping posture was not any better than the young Nalan Yanran. With a flip of his body, his entire body was pressed against Nalan Yanran's side. His forehead was pressed against Nalan Yanran's clean forehead. The cool breeze under the tree was like a painting, giving him a warm feeling.
Nalan Yanran was also startled. She opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful face that was close to her. She felt the warmth that was transmitted from her forehead and smiled. She closed her eyes in a very calm manner.

late at night
Xiao Yan held a brush in one hand and rested his chin on the other as he drew circles on a piece of straw paper. From time to time, he would pick up another scroll and look at it before burying his head and continuing to write.
"Teacher, what do you think?" Xiao Yan asked the empty space beside him.
An illusionary figure appeared from within. He was also seriously looking at the thing that Xiao Yan had drawn. He lowered his head and pondered but did not give Xiao Yan a reply. Xiao Yan was not in a hurry as he looked at the straw paper and pondered.
" The location was wrong, and there was no deliberate arrangement. From the time, the Xiao family was the majority, and the others seemed to have been added on purpose. Although it was very natural, the interval between them was a little rushed. Even if the information was wrong and the time of death could be faked, I could still sense the few times when the energy changed.”
"In addition, in recent years, your Xiao clan has received financial support from a few large factions to settle down in Wu Tan City. The information is also much more accurate. Otherwise, I would not have been able to see any clues.”
"However, the scope of his activities can be reflected from it. Moreover, from the time and movements of your Xiao family's shift, there's an 80% chance that he's in that area.。。。。。。。I can't be sure, but I'll allow you to use the jade pendant this time.”
Xiao Yan nodded when he heard this. However, he felt a little troubled."Teacher, you can't use close combat techniques, Dou Techniques, and your Cold Fire. If someone sees through your tricks, it's too risky.”
"However, I have to hide my body. I am only an eight star Dou Shi and am unable to release my Dou Qi.”
Yao Lao helplessly nodded."I know that you want to borrow my strength. However, you can only support me until you reach the level of a five star Da Dou Shi.”
Xiao Yan nodded. He understood Yao Lao's meaning and did not say anything more. He looked at Lonemoon who was gradually entering the deep night outside the window."I hope we can catch him this time.”
