Facing dozens of four-star warriors holding iron rods, the more than ten guards who were previously proud and arrogant suddenly turned pale, and before they could escape, a root of black iron rod was ruthlessly swung at various parts of their bodies. In an instant, the mournful cries of agony echoed throughout the entire street.

  Sen Leng glanced at Galileo with a bad face, Xiao Yan slightly tilted his head, looking at the blushing Xiao Yu who was ashamed and angry, his tone softened a bit: "Are you okay? You guys should have notified me before coming over, those bastards from the Galileo family have been trying to stir up trouble lately."

  For the first time, Xiao Yan treated him with such gentle words, Xiao Yu was taken aback, his face flushed even more, and he looked around awkwardly, saying: "When I came out, I met Xun'er, she said she wanted to come over and take a look, so I accompanied her. I didn't know I'd run into this bunch of scoundrels."

  Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, his gaze shifting to the blue-clad girl beside him who was beaming with joy at his arrival. The smile on his face grew even gentler: "You scolded really fiercely just now."

  Listening to Xiao Yan's teasing, Xun Er innocently spread her hands and smiled lightly: "I didn't mean to, it's just that I couldn't stand his appearance. You know, even the Xiao Yan of back then wouldn't dare rob people on the street."

  He was secretly counterattacked by Xun Er, and Xiao Yan dryly laughed as he rubbed his nose. Although he had been a bit arrogant back then, he wasn't as brainless as this guy, right?

  "Hey, isn't this the young master of the Xiao family? It's been a year since we last met, and I heard you've finally shed your reputation as a waste?" Galiaro's eyes twitched with envy as he gazed at Xiang Ye chatting intimately with Xiao Yan, and under the influence of his jealous heart, he let out a sarcastic laugh.

  "Who is he?" Liu Xi's gaze was also somewhat chilly. Xun Er, who had never looked at him straight in the eye before, was now chatting and laughing with another man. This blow was really hard for him to accept, as he was too proud of his own character.

  "Hey, Liu Xi, this is the famous 'genius' of the Xiao family, named Xiao Yan. He had been cultivating for over a decade and his Dou Qi was only around 3rd or 4th level, but recently, who knows what he ate, in just a few months, it suddenly jumped to 8th level Dou Qi." Galileo said with a sly smile beside Liu Xi.

  "Even if one is a genius, isn't that also useless?" Liu Xi said with a cold smile.

  As she listened to Liu Xi's words, Xun Er's small face turned slightly cold, and a golden flame flashed across her autumn water-like eyes.

  He patted Xun Er's slightly tense body with his palm, and Xiao Yan smiled faintly as he shook his head. He turned his head to look at the white-robed Liu Xi, his gaze casually sweeping over the Alchemist badge on his chest, and smiled: "You should be the one who refined the 'Rejuvenating Powder'?"

  Liu Xi let out a cold laugh, puffed out his chest where the emblem was located, and proudly said: "That's right, I'm the alchemist invited by the Gali family."

  Xiao Yan nodded as if he was suddenly enlightened, and smiled: "No wonder, such a low-level healing medicine can only be refined by you, this kind of alchemist. You really didn't disappoint your teacher's teachings."

  As soon as Xiao Yan's words came out, the surrounding mercenaries burst into laughter. After the Galley family's profiteering in the previous period of time, these mercenaries also had some resentment towards the creator of that Spring Scatter. Now seeing Xiao Yan dare to mock him face-to-face, they all felt a sense of relief.

  The loud laughter around him made Liu Xi's face slowly darken, his eyes coldly staring at Xiao Yan: "You're getting your Xiao family into trouble with some enemies you can't afford to mess with."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned and let out a bitter laugh. He rubbed his temples with his palm, for he was truly speechless towards this extremely arrogant individual. Did he think that Xiao Yan was the direct disciple of some Emperor? Being a first-rate alchemist could indeed make the Xiao family take notice, but to say that they couldn't be provoked was nothing more than a joke.

  "Alas, can someone with this IQ become an alchemist?" Sighing, Xiao Yan shook his head and exchanged a glance with Xun Er, who was standing beside him. After chatting with Liu Xi for a while, he finally understood why the gentle and soft-tempered Xun Er was so unimpressed with this guy.

  He rubbed his face with the palm of his hand, and Xiao Yan was too lazy to waste words on this guy who obviously had some IQ problems. He turned around and waved his hand at the dozens of big men behind him, smiling and saying: "Beat them up, including their master. Since they dare to cause trouble in our Xiao family's territory, we don't have to be polite either. Otherwise, people will laugh at us."

  Looking at Xiao Yan's actions, Jia Lie's face changed slightly. He didn't think that Xiao Yan would actually dare to do this. His eyes rolled and he sneered coldly: "I thought you had made some progress, but it turns out you're still just a useless waste who only knows how to rely on his subordinates."

  "Your insults are quite low-level." Xiao Yan said with a wave of his hand, holding an iron rod.

  "You want to be a warrior, then be one. Someone like you doesn't even have the qualifications to walk alongside Miss Kaoru." Gario sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he said with ill intent: "You should have already undergone the adult ceremony, right? Well, that means I can challenge you now and you have no reason to refuse!"

  "You're really shameless, Xiao Yan is only seventeen this year and you're already twenty-three, how dare you issue such a challenge? If you want to play, I'll accompany you!" Hearing Galiaro's challenge, Xiao Yu's eyebrows slightly raised, her long whip lashed out, leaving a shallow white mark on the floor, she scolded.

  The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Galiol sneered: "Your luck is really not shallow, and you have a woman to speak for you. Heh, I knew you were a softie hiding behind a woman."

  "Hey, this little white face is too arrogant, let's help you play with him." The mercenaries who were on good terms with Xiao Yan shouted loudly as they glared at Gareo.

  Seeing his own words cause such a big reaction, Galileo's face changed, and his strength was only that of a three-star warrior. If he had really provoked the anger of the crowd, he would have felt a little hollow in his heart.

  He glanced at Xiao Yan, who still had no expression on his face. Galiot brushed off his sleeves and sneered: "Since you don't dare to accept it, then forget it. Let's go, Liu Shi big brother. This kind of person who doesn't even dare to take the challenge, what is there worth paying attention to?"

  Liu Xi smiled slyly and nodded, his gaze lingering on Xun Er for a moment before he glared at Xiao Yan with malice, saying: "You little brat, just wait, I'll make the Xiao family deliver her to me personally! The woman I set my eyes on has never been out of my reach."

  Xun'er gave a faint glance at the lustful Liu Xi, and in her eyes, a hint of cold-blooded killing intent finally flashed.

  Jiaoluo and Liu Xi turned around, but several tall and imposing men from the Xiao family appeared at the entrance of the Fangshi market, blocking the gate as if they were a wall.

  "I know you want to cripple me, well, fine... your challenge, I accept." Just as Galileo was about to give the signal to call for help, the youth's faint voice suddenly echoed slowly from behind him.

  At these words, Galileo was taken aback at first, then a ferocious smile slowly spread across his face: "You're looking for your own death, so don't blame me!"
