After leaving the Jia Lie clan, Xiao Zhan first checked Xiao Yans injuries and confirmed that there was no major injury on him. He breathed a sigh of relief and then thanked Ya Fei with a cupped fist.
Miss Ya Fei, thank you for resolving the situation today. The Xiao Clan would remember the favor you did this day forever.New n𝙤vel chapters are published on
Although the Xiao Clan would have to bear thirty percent of the cost for the Revitalizing Pills for the Jia Lie clan in the future, compared to the situation of both clan being devastated, this outcome was already much better.
Moreover, even with this compromise, if it werent for Ya Fei mediating in the name of the Miteer Family, Jia Lie Bi would never have accepted it.
As Jia Lie Bi said, the reason he accepted this resolution was mostly to give face to Ya Fei and the Miteer Family behind her.
Patriarch, you dont need to worry. As Ya Fei just said, if the two major clans of Wutan City were to really fight and suffer losses, the Miteer Auction House would inevitably be affected. Ya Fei cannot stand idly by.
Ya Feis words were sincere. From a businessmans perspective, how much money could be made from ordinary people? Therefore, most of the income of the Miteer Auction House still came from the three major clans of Wutan City.
If the Jia Lie and Xiao clan were to engage in a full-scale conflict, their economies would inevitably be severely damaged. The Miteer Auction House relied on making money from the three major clans of Wutan City. If two of them were gone in an instant, how could the Miteer Family survive?
But truthfully speaking, Ya Feis intervention in the affairs of the two clans was mostly for the sake of Xiao Yan.
After all, what Xiao Yan had done this time was indeed too excessive, and continuing to stir up trouble would be extremely detrimental to him.
(But come to think of it, its the first time Ive seen Xiao Yanshandle things so brutally)
Ya Fei furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Xiao Yan who was being carried back on Xiao Yus back.
The three years of them being together had made Ya Fei deeply understand that Xiao Yan was not a person who lacked judgment in his actions. She had never heard of Xiao Yan doing something without making any room for retreat for both him and his opponent in advance.
And the scene in the Jia Lie clans courtyard just now had truly startled Ya Fei. Jia Lie Aos limbs were completely severed, and even more horrifying than that is what had happened to Liu Xi.
Such a brutal act, if it werent for the fact that the evidence was literally right there, Ya Fei would never believe it was done by Xiao Yan.
(It seems that there are still some aspects of this younger brother that I dont fully understand)
Ya Fei thought to herself and turned to Xiao Zhan, speaking softly.
Patriarch, Ya Fei will return to the auction house first. I hope your son would be able to recover soon.
Ah, take care.
Xiao Zhan bid farewell to Ya Fei and then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan, who was carried on Xiao Yus back, a bitter smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
This kid, its the first time Ive seen him being so ruthless.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan, who was unconscious leaning against her shoulder. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although she was shocked by Xiao Yans ruthless attack, there was another thing that puzzled Xiao Yu even more.
Xiao Zhan and her grandfather arrived late and didnt know, but she was present at the scene. She clearly saw the clash between Xiao Yan and Jia Lie Bi.
It wasnt as if Xiao Yu wished for Xiao Yan to be harmed, but it wasnt an exaggeration to say that if that strike had landed, Xiao Yans arm would have been completely torn of, rather than just having its bone broken, which was incredibly abnormal.
Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Yan had been unable to cultivate due to his inability to condense Dou Qi, so he had been training his physical body all along. His physical body was indeed strong and resilient.
But the difference between a Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Level) and a low-level Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) like him was simply too great, and it couldnt be compensated for by having a strong physique alone.
Moreover, the most important point was that in the moment when Xiao Yans fist collided with Jia Lie Bis claw, Xiao Yu keenly noticed a strange white light flash on the ring on Xiao Yans chest.
Although there was no concrete evidence, Xiao Yus intuition told her that it was thanks to this white light that Xiao Yans arm was saved from being shattered.
With this question in her heart, Xiao Yu followed the others back to the Xiao Clan, carrying the unconscious Xiao Yan on her back.
Since todays training had just ended, the young members of the Xiao Clan were resting in their own rooms, unaware of what had just transpired. Otherwise, considering the temperament of the Xiao Clans members, led by Xiao Yan, they might have rushed to the Jia Lie clan to cause trouble upon seeing the pitiful state Xiao Yan was in now.
Xiao Yu, I just checked, and Yaners injuries are not serious. As long as he rests peacefully for a while, hell be fine, Xiao Zhan said calmly, with his hands behind his back, as he looked at Xiao Yu. Those children have just come down from the mountain and also need to rest. Theres no need to disturb them. I entrust Yaner to your care.
Dont worry, Clan Leader. I will take good care of Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu nodded and assured him. She then carried Xiao Yan to his bedroom, under the watchful gazes of Xiao Zhan and the first elder, and gently laid him on the bed. She rummaged through the room, found a medicine box, and carefully applied medicine to Xiao Yan after he had changed his torn clothes, ensuring he was covered with a blanket. She then pulled a chair from the table to sit by the bed, quietly gazing at Xiao Yans sleeping face.
After a year of absence, Xiao Yans face had lost some of its youthful appearance, and his resolute countenance made him seem two or three years older than his actual age.
Although Xiao Yu was shocked by Xiao Yans brutal actions at the Jia Lie clan, she didnt feel the slightest fear towards him. On the contrary, she felt a warm feeling deep in her heart.
Xiao Yan had done all of this for her.
When she returned to the Xiao Clan, she had been harassed by the Jia Lie clan in the Xiao Clan market district. Thanks to her own outstanding strength, the Jia Lie clan didnt succeed in their intentions, and she returned safely.
According to normal logic, this matter should have been considered resolved.
After all, Xiao Yu hadnt been harmed, and the Jia Lie clan members had been severely beaten by her and the Xiao Clan guards, they had received their punishment.
But Xiao Yan didnt see it that way.
Xiao Yu knew well that when she revealed the Jia Lie clans attempt to abduct her, Xiao Yans first thought would have been of a different outcome.
What if Xiao Yu hadnt fought them off? What if Xiao Yu had really been abducted by Jia Lie Ao and his men? What if something had happened to Xiao Yu?
Xiao Yan must have been scared of that possibility.
And that was why he was so furious.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan, smiled faintly, and gently touched his face with her hand.
For Xiao Yan, if something truly happened to herself, it would be too late to undo anything. No matter what he did, it would be irreparable.
Just like that time, the first and only time he revealed his cruel side in front of the Xiao Clans members.
Oh, wait.
Xiao Yu corrected herself in her mind.
Including today, it was the second time.
But unlike the previous time, the previous time was for the sake of all his brothers and sisters in the Xiao Clan, while this time, it was only for herself.
(Now that I think about it, its a little bit satisfying~)
Xiao Yu smiled softly and looked at Xiao Yan, who was sleeping peacefully, with gentle eyes.
Its because I have an outstanding boy like you by my side that I cant be interested in any other man in the academy.
Suddenly, Xiao Yus gaze caught sight of the ring on Xiao Yans chest, the same ring she had seen with a strange white light at the Jia Lie clan. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
She knew that this ring was a memento from Xiao Yans mother and logically shouldnt have any issues.
However, there was something that should have been noticed but hadnt been, making Xiao Yu suspicious.
The timing of Xiao Yan losing his Dou Qi coincided with the time he started wearing this ring!
In other words, there might be a significant connection between Xiao Yan losing his Dou Qi three years ago and this ring!
With one hand supporting the bed and the other gently lifting the ring on Xiao Yans chest, Xiao Yu formed a bold speculation in her mind.
If it was indeed this ring that absorbed Xiao Yans Dou Qi before, if it was truly this ring that protected Xiao Yan at the Jia Lie clan, then this ring might possess self-awareness!
Embracing this speculation, Xiao Yu stared intensely at the ring and said in a cold voice,
Come out, I know youre in there.
