In Xuancheng, in a slightly remote inn, Xiao Yan is sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. As his thoughts turn, wisps of mixed energy will emerge from the surrounding void.
With Xiao Yan's breath, it poured into his body.
During the chat with Zhuang Zheng during the day, Xiao Yan learned about the power situation of the Lin family and the origin of Xu Yao. Regarding the Lin family, Xiao Yan had an attitude of "I will not offend others unless they offend me." What happened during the day can only be regarded as
It was Lin Ran's fault. If possible, Xiao Yan really didn't want to cause too much trouble.
As for Xu Yao, Xiao Yan never paid attention to her from the beginning. In the final analysis, she was just a unruly girl. Not to mention that her grandfather was Xu Songming, who was another person. Xiao Yan did the same.
Don't be afraid of him.
However, what Xiao Yan regrets most is that he did not get much valuable information about Huo Linghua.
Just as Zhuang Zhong said, what he knows is also known by everyone in Xuancheng. After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan also inquired from various parties in the city, but the information he finally got was almost the same as what Zhuang Zhong said.
.
In desperation, Xiao Yan had to return to the inn. He had nowhere to go, so he might as well practice peacefully.
Now, there is only one day left before the start of the auction. Instead of wasting unnecessary time, Xiao Yan plans to take a good rest for the past half a month to get rid of the fatigue from the hard work of the past half month, so as to prepare for the next auction.
.
This time, the two major families will send people to participate in the auction. Just in case, Xiao Yan has to be careful again and again. Even though he has the help of Lixiang Jue, it does not mean that Xiao Yan can really compete with Dou Di.
What's more, this Xuancheng is the territory of the two major families. If something happens, the other party can mobilize the strong ones much faster than he can defeat him. Therefore, Xiao Yan has to make himself
At its peak.
While Xiao Yan was cultivating with peace of mind, in a magnificent garden in the city, at this moment, several figures were sitting in a large hall. Among them, three men and one woman were sitting at the top.
The person sitting there was a middle-aged man, and the other three people were sitting in separate seats. The atmosphere on the scene seemed a bit solemn.
"Lin Ran, before I went on this trip, I handed Yaoyao to you and asked you to protect her. You answered me righteously at that time and would never let her be harmed in the slightest. But look at it now.
My granddaughter was slapped hard. Is this your promise to me? Huh!"
In the main hall, an old man in brocade robes with an old face and white hair and beard was staring gloomily at Lin Ran, who was sitting opposite, with a sharp look in his gloomy old eyes. As he spoke the words, he held a hand tightly in his hand.
A crutch also fell heavily on the ground in front of his feet. Suddenly, a tyrannical force spread out, and the ground in front of the old man's feet suddenly shattered, and cracks like spider webs appeared quickly.
spread.
And as the words in the old man's mouth fell, beside the old man, a pretty girl wrapped in a red skirt suddenly lay on the square table beside her and started crying.
The appearance of this scene made the expression on the old man's face become even more gloomy, and his gloomy old eyes staring at Lin Ran became even more angry.
After hearing the old man's angry rebuke, Lin Ran's face on the opposite side also turned livid, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, feeling unwilling to do so.
"Master, what happened today is that I feel sorry for my junior sister. It's all my fault for that brat. His strength is superior to mine and he is no match for him..."
"Hmph, you are not his opponent. Aren't you Lin Quan's opponent too? From what I see, you simply intend to watch my Yaoyao suffer!"
"Master, things are not what you think, they are..."
"That's enough! You don't need to explain too much about this matter. I will handle it myself. Besides, from now on, you don't need to call me master!"
After an angry rebuke, the old man interrupted Lin Ran's words without waiting for them to finish. He let out a heavy snort from his nose. The expression on his old face became indifferent, and he stood up from his seat.
He raised his crutch in his hand and started to walk out of the main hall.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran and the middle-aged man who had been sitting in the first place all changed their expressions. They quickly looked at each other, and then, just as the old man and the girl in the red skirt were about to
When he stepped out of the palace, Lin Ran suddenly shouted loudly:
"Master, it's not that I don't want to take action, but that guy is also a third-level alchemist, and he seems to be from the Alchemist Alliance!"
"tread…"
The moment the words fell from Lin Ran's mouth, the old man's feet that were about to step out of the palace paused slightly in mid-air, and then were taken back. At the same time, the old man's body suddenly turned around, and a pair of gloomy old eyes shone sharply,
His eyes instantly fell on Lin Ran.
"What did you say?!"
The old man spoke in a low tone, and while the anger in his heart rose, a sense of solemnity also rose up with it.
"That boy doesn't look very old, but the soul power he possesses is simply not what I can compare to. I have only experienced such powerful soul power from my master, so I can only
I’m sure, that guy is definitely a third-level alchemist!”
"But why do you say he is from the Alchemist Alliance!"
The old man's tone was fierce. It would be fine if he was just a wild man, but if the other party was from the Alchemist Alliance, it would be a lot more troublesome to attack him under the same roof.
"Master, you should understand that for someone so young and a third-level alchemist, I really can't think of any other force that can cultivate him besides the Alchemist Alliance."
"Hmph! Even if she is a member of my alchemist alliance, my granddaughter, Xu Songming, cannot be bullied by him!"
Hearing Lin Ran's words, Xu Songming pondered for a moment, but after a moment he snorted bitterly. The crutch in his hand hit the ground again, a pair of gloomy old eyes staring at the void in front of him, the majestic aura in his body.
, also surged up accordingly.
But when all this fell into Lin Ran's eyes, the latter sneered in his heart.
"Lin Ran, you should know where that guy is, right?"
"Oh? Master, are you planning to find that person now?"
Just as Xu Songming finished speaking, the middle-aged man above the main seat suddenly spoke.
"Huh, Master Lin, it seems that you were not present at the time. Could it be that you also know where the person who hurt my granddaughter is?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xu Songming was not afraid at all. He was just a one-star Dou Emperor. With his current status, even if he waved his hand casually, there would be strong Dou Emperors working for him, so why should he be afraid?
with the person in front of you.
After hearing Xu Songming's words, the middle-aged man suddenly fell silent. His palms placed on the armrests swayed slightly, and his fingers tapped rhythmically. Deep in his eyes, a light flickered, but all the while, the middle-aged man still said nothing.
hair.
"master……"
"Ran'er, there's no need to say any more, just let the master go. You are no longer the master's apprentice, so why bother meddling in his own business."
Just when Lin Ran couldn't help but was about to speak, the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat interrupted him with one sentence. At the same time, when he looked at Xu Songming, his eyes gradually filled with a little emotion.
A sharp look.
"Lin Zehong! What are you talking about! Yaoyao is Lin Ran's junior sister, what does it mean to be nosy?!"
The expression on Xu Songming's old face was cold, and the powerful aura in his body could not help but fluctuate, and a trace of anger rose in his pair of gloomy eyes.
His precious granddaughter was bullied, which was the most intolerable thing for him. The guy in front of him actually dared to stop her with words, which made him unable to restrain his emotions.
"Master's memory is really bad. Didn't you just say that Lin Ran is no longer your disciple from now on? In that case, why should Lin Ran speak for irrelevant people? What's more, the consequences of doing so
, and it is very possible to recruit a big shot from the Alchemist Alliance to my Lin family in the future. I have to think about my family. Unlike you, Master, as long as you leave with Xu Yao, just pretend that none of this has happened.
The one who has to bear this pressure when the time comes is my Lin family."
A smile appeared on Lin Zehong's lips, but he did not feel any seriousness due to the aura released by the latter.
In the final analysis, he is just an eight-star half-emperor. In terms of strength, Lin Zehong completely crushed the latter. If it weren't for the fact that this old guy is from the Alchemist Alliance and is now a third-level alchemist, Lin Zehong would not follow him.
He talks so much nonsense.
"You...Okay, okay, I take back what I said before, but Lin Ran, you must tell me right away where the guy who beat Yaoyao is now!"
Hearing Lin Zehong's words, the look on Xu Songming's old face suddenly turned livid, and when he saw Xu Yao beside him, who was crying in a low voice with aggrieved face, the mood in his heart became even more gloomy, he gritted his teeth bitterly, and then he looked up.
Lin Ran said in a deep voice.
"Master, why are you in a hurry? You just arrived in Xuancheng today. It's better to rest for the night first. After you recover, you can go find that guy. Besides, it's getting late now and there are still many strong people in the city. If you disturb them, they will be born."
It's going to be troublesome, so why don't I personally lead the master to that guy's residence tomorrow, and it won't be too late to take care of him then."
Before Lin Ran could speak, Lin Zehong took over and spoke immediately.
Hearing the latter's words, Xu Songming couldn't help but frown slightly, but he knew that since the person in front of him had said so, he would never tell him honestly. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only nod helplessly.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zehong chuckled, said a few more polite words casually, and then sent his servants to invite Xu Songming and his grandson to the guest room that had been prepared long ago. However, Lin Zehong and his son remained standing.
In the main hall.
"Father, this old man..."
"Shut up! Master Xu is a third-level alchemist. How can you, a junior like you, insult him? He is really ungrateful. He is also your master after all. You actually speak like this. As the young master of my Lin family, just rely on
With your kindhearted nature, how can I dare to hand over the Lin family to you with confidence in the future!"
Seeing Xu Songming's grandfather and grandson leaving, Lin Ran couldn't help but utter insults, but then, he was scolded by Lin Zehong so bloody that the latter's face turned ashen and his whole body was filled with tears.
He nestled back into the seat, burying his head deeply like a frightened civet cat.
"snort!"
Seeing Lin Ran shut up, Lin Zehong couldn't help but snorted coldly, his eyes swept around the hall calmly, and his whole person became silent.
At the same time, somewhere outside the palace, Xu Songming, who was walking towards the guest room under the leadership of the Lin family's servants, had a sneer on his lips.
"Lin Zehong, you know what I'm doing, but you're just a member of the small Lin family, and you actually want to have a relationship with me. If it weren't for the fire feathers at this auction, I would really be too lazy to pay attention to this apprentice. Lin Ran...
...Hmph, it’s just some talent. Without someone to guide you, you will always be stuck at the level of a first-level alchemist!"
With a secret sneer in his heart, Xu Songming retracted his thoughts. The crutch in his hand waved forward in an orderly manner with his footsteps. Under the leadership of the servant in front of him, after passing through several corridors, he saw someone already there.
This place has been waiting for a long time, and there are two rooms respectively. It can be seen that they are prepared for his grandfather and grandson.
At this time, Xu Yao had calmed down her emotions after crying for a long time, but there was still a look of resentment in her bright eyes. What happened during the day had brought a blow to this little princess.
It can be said that it is not small!
The appearance of Xiao Yan ruthlessly shattered the beautiful dreams in her heart, and all the realities were placed in front of her. Only then did the girl realize that the world that seemed like a warm spring breeze in his eyes was actually so cold and biting
, it can be said that Xiao Yan's appearance not only shocked her, but also woke her up.
However, after being woken up, the girl's eyes not only did not show the gratitude that she should have, but instead showed a kind of resentment and coldness like a broken dream.
…
The next day.
The dazzling sunlight shines on this land as if it wants to penetrate people's hearts. The world that had been silent for a night has once again become noisy and prosperous. The various forms of life cycle around in a new day, like a new world.
Reincarnation is like a new beginning.
Xuancheng, when this day comes, the powerful people from all sides in the city move with it. In the city that looks like a sea of people on the surface, there is an undercurrent surging.
In the room, when Xiao Yan opened his eyes again on the bed, the look in his eyes became extremely fierce, and there was a brilliant fire flashing deep in the dark pupils. Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, with a sharp gaze.
Penetrating everything in front of him, his eyes were fixed directly on the city outside. Above the void, several figures stood proudly, none other than Xu Songming and others.
