The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window and turned into specks of light that shone on the ground, Xiao Yan, who had his eyes tightly shut, slowly opened them and softly muttered, "Today, I need to check out the city first.
"Looks like I have to make some inquiries in the city today. I'm afraid the Xiao Clan isn't a good clan to allow the Zhao Clan to behave so arrogantly."
With a soft sigh, Xiao Yan turned over and got off the bed. After washing up, he led Bai Hua and Xiao Yan out of the house and onto the streets. They headed towards the center of the city where there were more people. Only there would they be able to hear more about the Xiao clan.
Xiao Yan and the other two slowly walked on the street where there was an endless flow of people. The cool morning air was carried by a gentle breeze as it pounced on their faces. It was cool and refreshing, immediately causing one to feel refreshed.
From time to time, various shouts could be heard from the two sides of the street that was paved with thick and heavy green stones. A dazzling array of goods were placed in the shops on both sides of the street. Many people shuttled back and forth like ants. Although it was early in the morning, Xiao City was already incomparably lively.
In front of Xiao Yan and the rest, the streets that were formed by intermittent stone steps became increasingly higher. Looking from afar, there was an extremely high and steep slope in the north. It was like a mountain peak that had been cut off at a slanted angle. Buildings that filled their vision rose and fell one after another like a towering mountain forest. From time to time, there would be figures flashing across the sky. This caused Xiao Yan and the rest to raise their eyebrows.
Xiao City was the main city of the Xiao clan and no one was allowed to walk in the air without permission. Most of the people who walked in the air were either the guards of the Xiao clan in the city or some powerhouses whose cultivation had reached the level of a Source Venerate. Regardless of which one they were, they were existences that the rest of the people in the city did not dare to offend.
"Heh, I heard that the insufferably arrogant young master of the Zhao clan was taught a lesson in Tianyang City yesterday. Today, he ran to Xiao City with an aggrieved expression."
"Oh? This is really karma. This guy has done a lot of things that are out of line. For this to happen, he only has himself to blame. "
"After being taught a lesson, why did he come to Xiao City instead of looking for his father, Zhao Jin?"
"Tch, he naturally came to find his true backer. With that person from the Xiao clan around, how can he not stand up for him?"
"Ha ha, that's true. One has to look at the owner before beating a dog. If news of the dog's leg being beaten were to spread, the owner's face would be lost."
Xiao Yan's footsteps followed a unique rhythm as he slowly walked forward. His gaze swept over the shops on both sides of the road. Waves of discussions were occasionally transmitted to his ears. Soon after, it stirred a wave of laughter. Behind him, Bai Hua and Lian Er involuntarily exchanged glances with each other when they heard this. They could not resist lowering their heads and emitting a mocking laugh. They wondered just what kind of reaction Zhao Mingjie would have if these words were to be transmitted to his ears.
Xiao Yan gently shook his head. He knit his brows slightly. From the meaning behind the words of these people, it seemed that there were indeed some shameless people within the Xiao clan. His originally low opinion of the Xiao clan had become even lower. Of course, Xiao Yan was also aware that the discussions of outsiders were merely discussions. This was merely what he had seen with his own eyes. He would only be able to find out just how the Xiao clan was like after experiencing it.
Just as Xiao Yan's three man group was slowly walking forward, a somewhat familiar voice was suddenly transmitted from the human flow not far in front of them. In comparison, however, the tone of the owner of this voice appeared to be much more aggrieved.
"Young Master Chu, you have to seek justice for me. That brat beat up my men on the street and even broke a few of my ribs. How dare he commit such a violent act in Tianyang City. It's one thing to injure me, but this is a slap to your face!"
Xiao Yan involuntarily stopped walking with a frown as the voice approached. He turned his head to look at Bai Hua and Lian 'er and involuntarily sighed.
"Enemies are really bound to meet on a narrow road."
His voice had just sounded when the crowd in front of him began to scatter in all directions. Soon after, Xiao Yan saw Zhao Mingjie, who had changed into a set of white clothes. At this moment, he was surrounding a young man. His face was filled with grievances as he repeatedly complained. When that young man heard this fellow's exaggerated words, a dense expression was revealed on his handsome face.
"What does that brat look like? Where is he now?"
The young man's gaze suddenly fell on Lian 'er, who was behind Xiao Yan. His gaze involuntarily moved, but his tone was icy cold.
"This …" Zhao Mingjie was speechless.
Hearing this, Zhao Mingjie was momentarily at a loss for words. Yesterday, Xiao Yan's attack was so sharp that they did not even have the chance to retaliate. In the end, all of them were suppressed by Xiao Yan's aura alone. How would they have the time to pay attention to where he had gone?
"Haha, young master Zhao, I haven't seen you for a day, but you're still alive and kicking. Looks like I was too lenient yesterday."
At this moment, a clear laughter that contained some ridicule was suddenly transmitted into Zhao Mingjie's ears. Immediately, this voice exploded in Zhao Mingjie's ears like thunder. At the same time that his expression changed drastically, his gaze also abruptly landed on Xiao Yan's body. At this moment, the latter was looking at him with a smile. He completely ignored the young man beside him at this moment.
"You … you actually dare to appear in Xiao City!"
When Zhao Mingjie recovered, the fear on his face instantly disappeared when he thought of the young man beside him. His face was filled with resentment as he stared at the black-robed young man, who was standing in front of him, and shouted with all his might.
Zhao Mingjie's furious roar instantly attracted the gazes of the passersby on the street. Their gazes first gathered on Zhao Mingjie and the young man beside him. Soon after, they suddenly turned and looked at Xiao Yan and the others, who were standing opposite them. Immediately, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Many people were curious in their hearts. Who exactly was this person that could make Zhao Mingjie so furious?
Soon after, however, a small portion of people who had some understanding of what had happened yesterday immediately recognized the identity of Xiao Yan's three man group. As a soft murmur sounded, the expressions of the surrounding passersby changed once again. Numerous gazes that contained surprise also landed on Xiao Yan's body.
"Since even you, young master Zhao, can come to Xiao City, why can't I?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan coldly smiled. His gaze slowly moved up and landed on the young man, his eyes calm.
"You …"
Zhao Mingjie was just about to open his mouth when he was stopped by a young man by the side. After which, he bitterly withdrew. That young man's gaze also turned to Xiao Yan at this moment. He slowly said with a smile, "Don't worry.
"What a glib tongue! Today, this Young Master wants to see just who gave you the courage to hit my, Xiao Chuhang's, people."
The young man smiled faintly as he gently lifted his foot. As he took a step forward, the aura of a Source Sect expert swept out from his body.
