Looking at Xun Er nodding in agreement to Xiao Yans words, Jie Lies mouth twitched, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, and his eyes stared fiercely at the calm-faced youth in front of him.

  A group of subordinates behind Galiot, seeing their masters ugly face, took a step forward with great cleverness and tact, subtly surrounding the two, with glances that mixed with ill intentions.

  In the depths of the city, there were just as many people, and upon seeing what was happening here, they couldnt help but curiously look over. Xiao Yan and Gai Lei Ou also had some fame in Wu Tan City. Xiao Yans was due to his reputation as a good-for-nothing, while Gai Lei Ous was because of his scandalous reputation for being reckless and irresponsible. Although these reputations werent very flattering, they could still be considered somewhat famous.

  Looking at the other partys movements, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, and a playful smile appeared on his tender face. He slightly tilted his head and let out a soft whistle towards a certain direction in the market.

  When they saw Xiao Yans actions, the crowd curiously turned their heads to look at each other, only to see the city guards rushing over under the leadership of Captain Payne, with a fierce momentum.

  Paine rushed over with a large group of guards, his hand waved and the guards under him immediately surrounded Galenos group in a fierce manner, for a moment, both sides were on high alert.

  "Third Young Master, whats wrong?" Came to Xiao Yans back, Payne first swept a glance at Galiot and others opposite, then bowed his head and smiled.

  Xiao Yan smiled slightly, turning his head to look at Galiot with an unpleasant expression, and said in a careless tone: "Young Master Galiot, this market is under the control of my Xiao family. Do you think you can make a move here?"

  Galeios gaze was somewhat wary as he glanced at Payne, then turned his head to sneer coldly at Xiao Yan: "Can you only rely on your familys power? If youre a man..."

  "You want to say that if I were a man, we could have a fair fight, right?" Xiao Yan suddenly waved his hand and smiled, interrupting Galiros words.

  Galeo sneered and provocatively said: "Thats right, dare you?"

  Looking at the provocative Gario, Xiao Yan seemed to be somewhat helpless and let out a sigh, rubbing his forehead with his palm. After a moment, he raised his head, slightly shrugged his shoulders, and had an innocent and harmless expression: "Young Master Gario, Id like to ask, how old are you this year?"

  Galis mouth twitched at the corner, and he looked down without saying a word.

  "Big brother, youre twenty-one this year, and Im fifteen! You actually want me, a kid who hasnt even had his coming-of-age ceremony, to duel with you? Dont you feel that your request is somewhat embarrassing?" Xiao Yan sighed, the helpless look on his small face making Xun Er, who was standing beside him, stifle a giggle and smile slightly.

  "Haha."

  Listening to the young mans innocent words, some vendors and mercenaries in the depths of the city burst out laughing. Indeed, at this age, Xiao Yan could only be considered a naive and tender youth, while Galiaro was already an adult. This challenge was really making people look down on him in their hearts.

  The mocking gazes around him were like a basin of cold water, which made Galileo regain some sobriety. The maturity and calmness that Xiao Yan showed always made people unconsciously ignore his age. So, after being reminded, Galileo suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him was only fifteen...

  He gritted his teeth and glanced at the group of guards from the Xiao family who were staring at him with a fierce gaze, standing behind Xiao Yan. He knew that he had no chance to teach him a lesson today, so he shook his head in disappointment and said with a sinister tone: "In another year, youll be having your coming-of-age ceremony, right? Heh heh, I think this waste of a person will probably be sent to some remote and desolate place after the ceremony. From then on, you wont even have the qualifications to enter Wutang City. How pitiful."

  Xiao Yan smiled slightly and shrugged indifferently.

  His eyelid twitched, he didnt know why, but as soon as Jiaoluo saw the calm and composed face of the young man in front of him, his anger was ignited. Youre a waste, whats with the pretentious and mysterious act?

  Galeo forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, let out a cold hum, and with a wave of his hand, he led his subordinates to push through the crowd.

  "Oh, right..." His footsteps suddenly stopped, and Galiot seemed to have remembered something. He turned his head and sneered: "Xiao Yan, young master of the Xiao family, I heard that your Xiao family was forced to cancel the engagement with Nalan De Ruos daughter, Nalan Xiang Ran? Haha, actually, it doesnt matter, with your cultivation talent, youre not worthy of Miss Nalan anyway... Haha..." After saying this, Galiot laughed loudly and left.

  Xiao Yans eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness as he gazed at the departing Gareon, his hand reaching out to grasp Yuner beside him. He said calmly, "Its just a mad dog, if it bites you, do you still want to bite back?"

  "But he... went too far, cant just let him off like that?" Xuner said with a frown, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in indignation.

  "Heh heh, there will be opportunities..." Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, the coldness at the corners of his mouth making Peins heart feel a slight chill. A lion that bites people is not scary, whats scary is that this lion knows how to endure...

  "Thanks, Uncle Pein." Xiao Yan turned his head and smiled kindly at Pein and the others. The somewhat gloomy aura from before instantly transformed into a young mans vigor and candor.

  Xiao Yans grasp of emotions was somewhat astonishing, and a hint of genuine reverence appeared in Pei Yuns smile. Regardless of Xiao Yans innate talent for cultivation, this mental acuity alone would likely lead to great achievements in the future.

  "Hehe, Third Young Master is joking, this place was originally our Xiao familys territory, how can we let people from the Gali family be arrogant." Pei En smiled and looked at Xiao Yan who was looking around, after bidding farewell, he led his men to retreat very self-consciously.

  Looking at the departing Payne and others, Xiao Yan finally turned around, his palm ruthlessly rubbing against Xun Ers long hair, thinly angry: "You silly girl, a first-class magic crystal, and youre already tempted? What kind of person is that guy, dont you know yet? You accepted his thing, that guy is taking advantage of you."

  Pouting with her small mouth, Xuner tidied up her disheveled long hair and helplessly spread out her hands: "Something thats been delivered to your doorstep, dont refuse it for no reason."

  Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and couldnt help but laugh: "That thing isnt even something precious, youre making a big deal out of it, youre the genius girl of the Xiao family after all..."

  Xuner slightly wrinkled her cute little nose, raised the chain on her wrist and playfully said: "So Brother Xiao Yan has been paying attention to Xuner all along."

  Bai Lian gazed at Xuner for a moment, then Xiao Yan pulled the girls hand and they headed towards some stalls in the depths of the market...

  After walking past several stalls, Xiao Yans footsteps finally came to a stop. He bent down and gazed at the green crystal on the stall that still had some bloodstains on it. Letting out a gentle sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "Ive finally found it."

  Just as Xiao Yan was about to grab the magic crystal, his palm suddenly stiffened, and a strange feeling surged up in his heart...

  His tongue licked his lips, and Xiao Yans palm still grasped the magic crystal, then his gaze seemed to be unintentionally sweeping across the stall...

  A moment later, Xiao Yans gaze stopped at a black iron piece next to the magic crystal.

  The black iron sheet is very old, with a lot of rust spots on it, and there are also some yellow mud that has not been washed clean, looking like an object that has just been dug out of the ground.

  "Hey, Xiao Yanzi, buy that black iron piece, its a good thing..."

  Just as Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled by his own feeling, Yao Laos voice suddenly echoed in his heart.

  The new book ranking system, although divided into ten levels seems a bit distant, but the Dou Qi continent is very large, and now the protagonist has only touched the tip of the iceberg, in the future, as the protagonist becomes stronger, the Dou Qi continent will truly be revealed, hehe.
