Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…

After hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that he already had special abilities, but he just didn't realize it before.

After solving the puzzle, he was filled with expectation and excitement. He didn't know what more powerful and magical abilities he would awaken in the future.

Looking at the cave in front of him that had lost its use to him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

He has suffered a lot here during this period of time. Now, this place where he struggled painfully could no longer meet his cultivation needs.

Turning to look at Yu Liang beside him, he said with a smile: "Brother, since the evil spirit here has no effect on me, is there any other place you can recommend for me to practice?"

Hearing this, Yu Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have already chosen this place for you, and I will definitely guarantee your satisfaction!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

However, Xiao Yan is not a person who will back down. He took a deep breath, suppressed the tension and anticipation in his heart, and then looked at Yu Liang firmly.

Yu Liang looked at Xiao Yan's firm eyes and nodded with satisfaction, as his cultivation of him was not in vain.

Young people should have an indomitable heart!

This was exactly what he admired and why he chose Xiao Yan.

"Balance between work and rest. After practicing for such a long time, it's time for you to take a break and relax."

Yu Liang patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said meaningfully: "We will leave Wutan City after that. I'm afraid we won't come back for a long time. Please deal with all the things you have to deal with."

Something to deal with? Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan thought Yu Liang was asking him to say goodbye to his family, and then nodded.

"Oh, I see!"

—

Xiao Yan returned to his residence.

After practicing intensely and painfully for such a long time, I was finally able to relax and rest for a night.

Had a relaxing night's sleep.

The next day I slept until three o'clock in the morning.

When he walked out of the room, a servant quickly ran to him and said, "Master Xiao Yan, the patriarch invites you to go to the hall!"

"Yes." He responded casually, and then followed the servant to the Xiao Clan Hall.

After passing through the backyard, Xiao Yan finally stopped outside the solemn reception hall, knocked respectfully, and then gently pushed the door open and entered.

The hall is very spacious and there are many people inside. Sitting at the top is Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, the leader of the Xiao clan.

Below his left hand sit some elders in the family who have a say and are powerful, and next to them are the younger generations who have performed outstandingly.

On the other side, three strangers sat.

Xiao Yan glanced at the three strangers with some confusion.

One of them, an old man wearing a moon-white robe, was smiling and full of energy. His small eyes sparkled occasionally.

Xiao Yan's gaze moved down slightly and stopped on a silver moon on his chest, surrounded by seven shining golden stars.

"Seven-Star Fighter!"

Xiao Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this old man was actually a seven-star fighting master.

Next to the old man sat a young man and woman, also wearing moon-white robes.

The man is about twenty years old, handsome and tall, with five gold stars painted on his chest, which represents his strength as a five-star fighter.

Next to this young man sat a beautiful girl, similar in age to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was surprised to find that her appearance was extremely stunning. Among all the girls he had ever seen, only Xiao Xun'er, who was as elegant as a green lotus, could rival her.

"Father!"

"Yan'er is here, sit down first!" Looking at Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan showed loving eyes.

Xiao Yan sat on a chair nearby.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know their identities?" Xiao Xun'er asked Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan turned his head and asked curiously: "Do you know?"

"Did you see the cloud-colored silver swords on the cuffs of their robes?" Xun'er smiled slightly and pointed to the logo on the cuffs of the three of them.

Xiao Yan took a closer look and found a silver sword in the shape of a cloud. He was slightly surprised and said: "Are they from Yunlan Sect?"

"Why did they come to our family?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked in a low voice.

Xun'er was silent for a moment, tapping the table with her slender fingertips, and then said, "Maybe it has something to do with brother Xiao Yan."

"Me? I haven't had any interactions with them." Xiao Yan shook his head.

"Do you know that girl's name?" Xiao Xun'er glanced at the delicate girl opposite.

"What?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Nalan Yanran." A hint of weirdness appeared on Xun'er's face as she glanced sideways at Xiao Yan.

"Nalan Yanran? The granddaughter of Nalan Jie, the lion-hearted marshal of the Gama Empire, the fiancée who is married to me?" Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Xun'er nodded and said: "My grandfather and Nalan Jie were life-and-death friends back then, so we decided to get married. However, five years ago, Nalan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by the head of the Yunlan Sect, and she showed excellent She has cultivated her talent and is deeply loved. Maybe she feels that she has the power to change her destiny, so she wants to break off the marriage."

"You mean, she is here to break off the engagement this time?" Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed, and a burst of anger surged in his heart. What a shame it was to have the engagement broken off in public.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, and the palms hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Yu Liang said to him yesterday.

It turns out that this is what Brother Yu asked me to deal with!

During this period of time, he had been busy practicing and did not disclose the fact that he was able to practice again and his strength had increased dramatically, so everyone present thought he was a waste.

Thinking of his current strength, Xiao Yan's peaceful mood immediately became indifferent.

No matter how things develop later, it will definitely not be Xiao Yan who is embarrassed by then.

This is the self-confidence brought by one's own strength.

At this time, a delicate little hand passed through the sleeve and gently pressed Xiao Yan's clenched palm. Xun'er said softly: "Brother Xiao Yan, don't be angry. Xun'er believes that she will regret today's short-sightedness in the future."

The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth raised slightly with a sneer: "There is no future. As long as she dares to speak, I will make her regret it today."

opposite.

Under Nalan Yanran's constant gestures, the old man of the Seven-Star Fighter finally stood up.

He coughed lightly first, then raised his hands to Xiao Zhan and said, "Chief Xiao, I am here mainly to ask for something."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan did not dare to be negligent, and quickly stood up and said politely: "Mr. Ge Ye, please tell me if you have something to do. The Xiao family will never refuse if it is within their power."

Ge Ye smiled slightly and pointed at the girl beside him and asked with a smile: "Does Chief Xiao know her?"

Xiao Zhan looked at the girl up and down for a moment and shook his head in embarrassment: "Excuse Xiao, who is this young lady?"

"Her name is Nalan Yanran." Ge Ye introduced.

"Nalan Yanran? Mr. Nalan's granddaughter Nalan Yanran?"

Xiao Zhan was startled for a moment, then remembered what happened that year. Then his face was full of joy and he hurriedly showed a gentle smile to the girl:

"It turns out she is Nalan's niece. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Don't blame uncle for his poor eyesight."

In response to this, Nalan Yanran stood up and said with a sweet smile: "Uncle Xiao, my niece has never come to visit me. I am the one who should apologize. How dare I blame Uncle Xiao."

At this point, she paused, and then continued: "However, my niece does come here this time to ask for something. I hope Uncle Xiao can fulfill it."

Xiao Zhan's heart sank, and he vaguely guessed what Nalan Yanran was going to say next, but he still kept a smile and asked: "Niece Yanran, if there is anything that needs uncle's help, it's okay to say so."

Nalan Yanran took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say, "Uncle Xiao's niece is here this time in the hope of breaking off her engagement with Xiao Yan."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.
