"Hehe, I think you've misunderstood. Actually, I've only come this time to invite you to my estate. I have no other intentions."
The patriarch smiled politely when he heard that. He did not seem surprised by Xiao Yan's words at all.
Xiao Yan could not help but frown when he saw this. He met Luo Jin's eyes, and the latter's eyes also contained some impatience.
"Patriarch Liu, you …"
"Hehe, I truly admire you for reaching such a level of cultivation at such a young age. I believe I've seen many young geniuses before, but I've never seen someone as outstanding as you. May I ask if you can give me some face and come to my Liu family for a chat?"
Xiao Yan had just opened his mouth and was about to say some words of rejection when an old man's voice was suddenly transmitted into his ear. Xiao Yan immediately understood that the person who had truly invited them was not this middle-aged man in front of him but this old man.
"A Returnance expert? So it's a member of the Liu family," thought Jian Chen.
Xiao Yan quietly said this in his heart. Immediately, he opened his mouth and said,
"Alright, since patriarch Liu has invited us so sincerely, there's no harm in us going."
With that, he even patted Luo Jin's shoulder. The light in Luo Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to understand something.
Behind him, the Little Fairy Doctor and the others did not understand. However, since Xiao Yan had spoken, they naturally did not have any doubts. Soon after, this group of seven people walked forward under the lead of the Liu clan's head until they reached the Liu clan's mansion.
Very soon, Xiao Yan saw the Returnance expert who had spoken to him before.
Beside them, Luo Jin glanced at the old man standing in front of them. His lips curled into a smile. His guess had been confirmed.
Luo Jin had already guessed it when Xiao Yan suddenly changed the topic and patted him on the shoulder. Now that he saw the old man, it was just as he had guessed. The only person who could change Xiao Yan's mind was the only Returnance expert in Liu Cang City.
At this moment, the old man was standing in front of Xiao Yan's group. The head of the Liu clan was standing beside him. His face was filled with respect.
The old man's figure was somewhat short. His face was skinny, but his eyes were spirited. He held a walking stick in his hand and placed one hand behind his back. He was looking at Xiao Yan who was close by with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, I'm Liu Ya, the protector of the Liu family."
The old man extended his hands and clasped them together when he saw Xiao Yan. His actions were gentle, but they did not seem unreasonable. After all, he was old, so there were many things that were inconvenient. Even Liu Changsheng could not help but become surprised when he saw the old man's actions.
The fact that Liu Ya would bow to a junior was more than enough to show how much importance he placed on the young man.
"I'm Xiao Yan. This is my first time here. If I've offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive me."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan cupped his hands together with a smile on his face. The words that were spat out from his mouth caused the people behind him to feel an inexplicable feeling.
Obviously, only Xiao Yan and the old man knew about this matter. Among the people that Xiao Yan had killed with the Bone Chilling Fire, there were a few who bore the insignia of the 'Liu' clan. Now that the two of them had met, they obviously needed to clarify the matter.
"Hehe, mister Xiao Yan, you're overthinking things. Just treat it as cleaning up the family. Please take a seat."
The old man had already ordered people to set up tables and chairs in the courtyard. He was only waiting for Xiao Yan and the others to take a seat.
After everyone was seated, the two sides began to chat.
After chatting for a while, Liu Ya learned that Xiao Yan's group came from Qingyang City. A glint flashed across the depths of his old eyes. He roughly guessed their identities.
"Hiss … So you're from Qingyang City. No wonder there's such a scene. I presume that you were the ones who fought with the Sea Cloud Palace Master not long ago?"
Liu Ya's eyes narrowed as he spoke with a slightly surprised tone.
"Hehe, that's right."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and did not hide anything.
In the battle of Qingyang City, the one who was defeated was the Sea Cloud Palace Master. This matter would definitely spread throughout the southwest border. It was natural that Liu Ya would know about it.
"Haha, mister Xiao Yan is indeed a young hero!"
Seeing Xiao Yan nod his head in acknowledgment, Liu Ya suddenly laughed and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
"I don't think that old mister will inform Fu Yulong that we left Qingyang City, right?"
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed as he carelessly opened his mouth and probed. When Liu Ya heard this, the expression on his old face was immediately startled. He immediately laughed out loud and said, "You are right.
"Mister Xiao Yan, you must be joking. My Liu Family and Sea Cloud Palace have never been on good terms. Fu Yulong has caused trouble for my Liu Family several times and was beaten back by me. He must hate my Liu Family to the bone. Naturally, I can't tell him about your whereabouts."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded and cupped his hands with a smile.
"Then, thank you, old mister!"
"I wonder where Mister Xiao Yan is heading to this time. If possible, my Liu Family may be able to help you."
"The Extreme South."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan still spoke of the place that his group was heading to.
"Hiss … The Extreme South, the territory of the three sects of the Southern Mountain Range? From here to the Extreme South, I'm afraid that it will take quite a long time. Even with your speed … "
Liu Ya was slightly surprised as he looked at the seven people present. Soon after, he looked at the Little Fairy Doctor and Mu Ling and continued to say.
"I'm afraid that without half a month's time, it will be very difficult to reach!"
With regards to this, Xiao Yan and the rest could only helplessly nod their heads. If it wasn't because of this, they wouldn't have set off nearly a month in advance.
"But … Mister Xiao Yan, you have come to my Liu Cang City this time. It can be said that you have come to the right place!"
Immediately after, Liu Ya grinned and said, "That's right.
"To tell you the truth, my Liu Family has been known for raising flying beasts for generations in this Liu Cang City. Our guests are from all over the Southern Mountain Range. If mister is willing, I can use my Liu Family's flying beasts to bring you to the Extreme South. The time will definitely be much faster."
Hearing Liu Ya's words, Xiao Yan's face instantly revealed a joyous expression. It had to be said that before they set off, he had indeed considered using a flying beast. Although he had the intention to forcefully capture one in the forest, due to the Magical Beasts' low cultivation, their speed was not as fast as them. Therefore, he could only helplessly give up on this idea. At this moment, Liu Ya's words brought them another opportunity.
If they were able to use a flying beast as a means of transportation, their journey would definitely be much easier. At the same time, they could also use it to avoid some unnecessary trouble. It was an extremely good choice.
