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 the 'Feng Jiu 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 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 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 ceremony, you'll probably be sent 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 gaze was somewhat dark as he glanced at Jia Lie Ao who was leaving. He extended his hand and pulled Xun Er beside him. He said indifferently,"It's just a mad dog. It bit you. Do you want to bite it back?”
"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.
"Ke ke, there will be a chance…" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled. The corner of his mouth contained a dark coldness, causing Pei En's heart to feel a little cold. A lion that bit people was not scary. What was scary was that this lion knew how to endure…
"Uncle Pei En, sorry to trouble you.”Xiao Yan turned his head and spoke to Pei En's group with a friendly smile. The somewhat dark and dense aura from earlier had instantly transformed into the vitality and frankness of a young man.
Pei En sighed in his heart at Xiao Yan's control over his emotions. There was an additional respect in his heart within 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 turned around. His hand ruthlessly rubbed Xun Er's long hair as he angrily said,"You stupid girl, you're tempted by a mere level 1 mana crystal? Don't you know what kind of person that guy is? If you take his things, that guy will immediately hit you with a stick.”
Pouting Little 9's mouth, Xun Er 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 rolled his eyes and 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.”
Rolling his eyes at Xun Er, Xiao Yan pulled the young lady's hand and once again walked towards some stalls in the depths of the market…
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. A strange feeling suddenly surged into his heart…
Licking his lips, Xiao Yan's hand continued to grab the magical crystal. After which, his gaze swept across the stall without any care…
A moment later, Xiao Yan's gaze paused on a black metal piece beside the demonic crystal.
The black metal piece was very old. It was covered with rust spots and had some unwashed yellow mud. 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…"
Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan's heart just as he was feeling a little strange.
