On the mountain behind Xiao's house, a young man in black clothes sat quietly on the top of the mountain, with the breeze blowing on his face and his eyes dull.
"What's wrong, Yan'er, are you still angry about what happened today?" Xiao Zhan walked to Xiao Yan's side calmly, while Xun'er, who was originally following the latter, had already left sensibly.
"Father, it's the child who has embarrassed the Xiao family." Xiao Yan said in a low voice, quite remorsefully.
"Oh, how can you embarrass your father?" Xiao Zhan said as if he didn't realize it.
"The child shouldn't have been so impulsive in agreeing to the three-year agreement proposed by Nalan Yanran." Xiao Yan said guiltily.
Different from the original work, the young master of the Xiao family was divorced on the spot in public, and the whole family was disgraced. This time, very few people really knew that Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement.
From Xiao Yan's point of view, it was just a matter of breaking off the engagement. The two of them didn't know each other in the first place, so he wasn't that angry. However, Nalan Yanran's nonsense words immediately got him off guard.
Although Xiao Yan has been able to face the disappearance of his talent calmly, there is still a thorn in his heart, and Nalan Yanran's behavior is to constantly open and add salt to the wounds in Xiao Yan's heart.
In a moment of anger, he directly agreed to the three-year agreement proposed by the other party. Although for some reason, Xiao Zhan and the elders did not object at all, he still attributed this mistake to himself.
In fact, Xiao Yan had absolutely no confidence that he would be able to solve his physical problems and improve to the point where he could compete with his opponent within three years.
Originally it was just a shame for one person, but once he ascended to the Yunlan Sect three years later, he was unable to defeat Nalan Yanran, and the entire Xiao family would completely become the laughing stock of the Gama Empire.
The news that the good-for-nothing young master of the Xiao family, Toad, wants to eat swan meat and is overestimating his capabilities will quickly spread throughout the Gama Empire.
The reputation of the Xiao family was put on the line just for the sake of his own will. No matter how ignorant Xiao Yan was, he knew that he seemed to have done something wrong.
"Oh, Yan'er, do you think you are impulsive and are you worried that you won't be able to win the so-called three-year contract and will bring trouble to the Xiao family?"
Xiao Yan was silent, obviously.
"Then are you willing to bow to that Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Zhan asked calmly.
"Absolutely impossible!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately denied it. If he wanted Xiao Yan to bow his head to the other party, it would be impossible for him to die.
"That's it." Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, "As a father, I believe in you and you will never embarrass my Xiao family."
Then, a domineering aura emerged from the former's body, "You are my son, Xiao Zhan. Even if you lose three years later, what will happen? Why should I, the Xiao family, act based on other people's faces?"
"Father..." Xiao Yan had a look of emotion on his face. He didn't expect that his father would trust him so much. Even though he had been a waste for three years, he still believed that he could win.
A firm look flashed in his eyes, "Father, I will definitely win."
"Very good, this looks like my Xiao Zhan's son." Xiao Zhan chuckled.
Having said these words, Xiao Zhan naturally left. Looking at his father's leaving figure, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and prepared to continue practicing. He did not believe that he would always stay in the third stage of Dou Qi.
Just as Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged and preparing to practice, an old voice rang in his ears: "Young man, you are pretty good!"
"Who?" Xiao Yan jumped up suddenly and looked around with a cold expression, "Who is pretending to be a ghost?"
"Hey, don't look at it, it's in the ring on your finger!" The old voice appeared again.
"Ring?" Xiao Yan lowered his head and saw that it was the gift his mother gave him when he was born. But now is not the time to think about this, Xiao Yan shouted: "Who are you, come out quickly!"
"Here it is!" The voice that made Xiao Yan's hair stand on end sounded again. He looked up and saw a transparent figure floating in the air, stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile.
"Ah! Ghost!" Xiao Yan was shocked. Although Dou Qi Continent is a fantasy world, he has never seen such a weird scene since he was a child.
"What the hell, I call this a soul body!" the white-haired old man said angrily.
"Soul body?" Xiao Yan muttered for a moment, and soon stopped paying attention. Later, he checked the Xiao family's classics and it became clear.
He quickly got to the point, "Who are you? Why are you in my ring?"
"Well..." The old man looked a little embarrassed, after all, this matter was a bit difficult to talk about, "You don't have to worry about who I am, you just need to know that I won't harm you! After all, I have accepted you as a worshiper for three years.
, I naturally want to repay you."
"Three years of worship?" Xiao Yan was stunned, then suddenly realized and became furious, "You have sucked away my fighting spirit for three years!"
Immediately, he suddenly exploded and punched him directly. The speed of the explosion made the latter's eyes shrink. Although he had seen it many times, he was still willing to call Xiao Yan a genius.
But this is just child's play for him. Although he doesn't do anything, but...
"What's going on, I can't move?" Xiao Yan was horrified.
"Little baby, please listen to me carefully. I have no choice but to absorb your fighting spirit, and I will repay you." The old man on the side tried hard to persuade.
"Let me go." Xiao Yan looked at the former calmly. Facing the culprit who had made him suffer humiliation for three years, it was obvious that he could not remain calm and his tone was extremely unkind.
"Then don't continue to be impulsive!" Seeing Xiao Yan's calm look, the old man also loosened his restraints.
After regaining his freedom, Xiao Yan stretched his muscles a little and was ready to leave, "Old man, I won't hold you accountable for sucking my fighting spirit for three years. Don't follow me in the future. Let's go our separate ways and never see each other again.
."
Xiao Yan has figured it out. This old man is probably not a simple guy. He doesn't have to fight to the death with the other party. He will definitely suffer in the end.
Now that he has found the culprit for the disappearance of his fighting spirit and his talent has recovered again, the right solution is to practice hard to prepare for the three-year contract. He is now pressed for time and has no time to waste.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, wait a minute, kid, don't you want to become stronger?" The old man stopped him.
Xiao Yan stopped, turned around, and said with some doubt: "Can you make me stronger?"
"That's natural!" the old man said proudly. With his ability, it is not easy to guide a little kid.
"What's the proof?" Xiao Yan asked. He would not foolishly believe a guy with unknown origins. He would not chat with this strange old man unless he had to.
Very good, the opportunity to appear holy in front of people has come!
The latter looked solemn and said proudly: "Boy, you should know the alchemist, right?"
"Nonsense, there are many alchemists in my family, you don't have to tell me!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, does this old man really think that he is a country boy who has never seen anything?
"Humph~" The old man was not surprised. After observing in secret for so long, he naturally knew the basic situation of the Xiao family, but some alchemists who were only at the fifth level were worthy of comparison with him?
Thinking like this, he was ready to throw a bombshell to the other party, "Those alchemists in your family are nothing, even the so-called Alchemy King Furukawa is nothing in my eyes." The old man said proudly.
"Uncle, is what the old man said true?" Xiao Zhan asked curiously as two figures in the distance were paying attention to the conversation between Xiao Yan and the old man.
Although the deepest secrets of the Xiao family have not been revealed, the fifth-grade alchemist in the Jiama Empire is second only to the Dan King Furukawa. How can this old man look down on him?
"Yes, this old man is not a simple man. He is the former number one alchemist in the mainland - Master Yao." Xiao Han sold the old man out in a few words.
"Everyone thought he was missing. They never thought that he would live in such a small place and be met by Xiao Yanzi." Xiao Han had a look of surprise on his face and expressed his surprise quite well.
"It's time for the young eagle to flap its wings!" Xiao Han thought happily in his heart.
