Seeing that the two girls had actually agreed to Xiao Yan's words, the corner of Jia Lie Ao's mouth twitched. His fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard as his eyes 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 the 'Feng Liu' who had abandoned him. 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 helplessly. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and after a moment, he raised his head and shrugged his shoulders. His face was 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 Xiao Mei and Xun Er beside him to involuntarily laugh. They pursed their 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 clan 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 say 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 and composed face of the youth in front of him, he would be filled with anger. You trash, why are you pretending to be unfathomable for no reason!
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, right." Jia Lie Ao's footsteps suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something."Little Young Master Xiao Yan, I heard that Nalan Yanran of the Nalan clan has arrived. Could it be that she is here to forcefully cancel the engagement? Hehe, it's actually nothing. With your cultivation talent, you're indeed not worthy of Miss Nalan. Haha!”After saying this, Jia Lie Ao laughed and left.
"Oh no!" After hearing Jia Lie Ao's words, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that his father Xiao Zhan had asked him to accompany Nalan Yanran around Wu Tan City for the next two days. However, because of Yao Lao's matter, he was so excited that he forgot about it!
Immediately, his expression changed. He stopped looking for the monster core and turned around to rush back.
"Xiao Yan ge-ge, wait for me." Xun Er had clearly recalled what had happened yesterday and chased after him without saying anything.
Xiao Mei watched as the two of them walked one after the other. Following the route that Xiao Yan had taken earlier, they walked past a few stalls and saw a green crystal with some blood stains on it. Beside the magic crystal was a very old black metal piece. The surface was covered with rust and there was some yellow mud that had not been washed. It looked like an item that had just been dug out of the ground.
He couldn't help but smile lightly.”
Immediately, he followed Xiao Yan's buying method in the original novel and spent 470 yuan to buy some miscellaneous items, including Monster Cores and black metal pieces.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan and the three Elders were carefully accompanying the three Misty Cloud Sect people, including Nalan Yanran, in the Xiao clan's hall.
"Have you not found Yan 'er yet?" Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask Butler Mo, who was standing behind him.
"Patriarch, I'll get someone to look for him.”Butler Mo said carefully.
"Patriarch, we found traces of the young master!”Just as Xiao Zhan was about to nod, a servant rushed in.
"Oh! Where is Yan 'er?" Xiao Zhan immediately asked.
"Young Master, this morning, he brought Miss Xiao Mei and Miss Xiao Xun Er out to the southern city market!”The servant immediately replied.
"What?"
Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded. He looked at the servant blankly, not knowing what to say.
"Humph!" Hearing the servant's words, Ge Ye snorted angrily. Nalan Yanran also put on a dejected and sad look!
"Elder Ge, please calm down. I'll call that unfilial son back now.”Xiao Zhan heard Ge Ye's snort and immediately reacted.
"There's no need. The three of us still have things to deal with back at the sect, so we won't disturb Patriarch Xiao!”After saying that, he pulled Nalan Yanran, whose eyes were already starting to turn red, and walked out with Yun He, who was also full of anger.
The three of them had just exited the door when they bumped into Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun Er, who were running back. Ge Ye's face immediately showed signs of turning green. He took a step forward and blocked in front of Nalan Yanran. His eagle claw-like hands suddenly curled together. Green colored Dou Qi gathered in the eagle claws, emitting a tiny yet sharp Sword Qi.

"Elder Ge!" Nalan Yanran immediately stopped Ge Ye," Forget it, let's go back!"”Then, she sobbed and begged.
"Sigh!" Ge Ye looked at Nalan Yanran's tearful appearance and sighed. He ignored the urging voices behind him and pulled Nalan Yanran away quickly.
" I'll wait for you in three years!" When she walked past Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran's footsteps paused. A mournful voice, which was somewhat choked with emotion, sounded!
The girl's back was stretched out under the sunlight, looking beautiful and lonely.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth. He was somewhat at a loss as he stared at the gradually disappearing figure. His heart suddenly became empty.
