As they walked out of the Yunyin Pavilion, the glaring sunlight immediately shone on their faces, washing away the gloominess and unhappiness on their faces. The noise on the street rang out once again, causing Xiao Yan's state of mind to gradually calm down. Compared to meeting those two, he was more inclined towards the noisy outside world.
"Are we going back home?"
Bai Hua's gaze swept around as she softly said.
Since they had obtained the Sumeru Grass, their goal had been achieved. Naturally, there was no need to continue staying here. In addition, although Bai Hua was not afraid of Zhao Mingjie's furious words, she was still somewhat worried. After all, as they knew, behind Zhao Mingjie stood a Source Venerate level father. Once they met him, things would not end so easily.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan muttered to himself for a moment. He also had some considerations in his heart. His gaze then turned towards Lian 'er, who was curiously looking around. He paused for a moment, then smiled in relief and said,
"Forget it. Since we are here, we should naturally take a look around. Since we have obtained the Sumeru Grass, there is no need to be so anxious. Today, we will accompany this girl and have some fun. Moreover, the auction house is worth taking a look. Perhaps we will be able to obtain some unexpected gains."
"Then the Zhao Family …"
"Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Don't forget, regardless of whether it is the Zhao Family or Shuyang City, they are all under the rule of the Xiao Clan."
Understanding Bai Hua's worries, Xiao Yan turned his head and gave her a comfortable smile. The expression on his face gradually relaxed. His gaze landed on Lian 'er, looking at her still young and tender face. Xiao Yan could not help but reveal a doting expression on his face. He gently rubbed Lian' er's delicate little head with one hand, allowing her to pout and mutter with a depressed expression. Then, he raised his chin towards the towering black stone tower in front of them and said indifferently,
"Let's go."
After saying this, he took the lead and led the way. Lian 'er naturally followed closely behind. Bai Hua turned her head to look at the Yunyin Pavilion behind her and frowned slightly before following them.
Without any hindrance, the two of them naturally allowed the little girl to run as she pleased for the rest of the journey. She was like a little pony that was galloping in all directions. The smile on her pretty face was even more enchanting. Xiao Yan felt an inexplicable envy in his heart as he watched the little girl's lively and happy manner.
Although they were able to clearly see the appearance of the enormous black tower from a distance, there was still some distance before the three of them could reach it from their current position. Although the three of them were moving at a steady pace, Xiao Yan appeared to have underestimated Lian Er's character.
Once a woman's nature was released, the shops along the street seemed to become two rows of delicious cakes in her eyes. Under Lian 'er's crazy rampage, almost all the shops along the street had been broken into by her and plundered along the way. Even with Xiao Yan's financial resources, he could not help but feel a burst of pain. Looking at the storage ring handed over by the shop owner with a face full of smiles, as well as the Spirit Stones he had crazily poured out, Xiao Yan's expression could not help but become a little absent-minded. On the other hand, Bai Hua, who was beside him, could not help but look at him with a face full of ridicule.
"Sigh …"
With a bitter smile and a sigh, Xiao Yan could not help but look at Bai Hua for help. Only then did the latter smile in her heart and pulled Lian 'er, who was about to rush out of the door, behind her obediently. Only then did Xiao Yan not dare to delay any longer and quickly rushed towards the auction house in the center of the city.
If he continued to allow this girl to continue like this, he was afraid that he would have to spend all his money here.
The horses hurried without stopping for a while. A moment later, an auction house that surrounded the enormous black tower appeared in front of the three of them.
The huge auction house was in the shape of a ring, with the stone pillar in the middle. Towering pitch-black walls stood tall, like an iron bastion, giving people a kind of inexplicable pressure. At this moment, many people were gathered outside the auction house in queues, waiting to enter the auction house in order.
"Looks like we have to wait for a while."
Xiao Yan involuntarily smacked his lips as he eyed the somewhat crowded human flow in front of him. His brows were knit together slightly. Based on the current queue outside the auction ground, it was likely that they would have to wait for another two hours before they could enter.
With regards to this, Bai Hua naturally had an indifferent attitude. Her gaze was calm as she looked at the lively scene in front of her. With one hand, she tightly held onto Lian 'er, who was looking around with the intention of leaving, and quietly waited.
"This is … Mister Xiao Yan?"
However, just as Xiao Yan was frowning, a somewhat suspicious voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. Immediately, the three of them looked towards the source of the voice. In the crowd, a group of people led by a middle-aged man also turned towards them.
Turning his gaze, Xiao Yan's gaze immediately locked onto a middle-aged man in the group of people in front of him. Seeing the latter, Xiao Yan's mind only pondered for a moment before he immediately recognized the middle-aged man in front of him. Surprisingly, the middle-aged man in front of him was the head of the An clan, An Nan, who had once stopped him in Tianyang City.
"So it is the head of the An clan. It has been a few days since we last met. How have you been?"
After recovering from his shock, Xiao Yan immediately cupped his hands politely towards An Nan.
Although he did not have a good impression of this person, he did not completely disregard him. Moreover, An Nan had been courteous to him first, so he naturally had to return the favor.
"Haha, Mister Xiao Yan is too polite. A month ago, An Nan was blind and did not recognize Mister's identity. Recently, there has been some news about Mister in the clan. Only then did I know that Mister is also a member of the Xiao clan."
In the face of Xiao Yan's attitude, An Nan did not dare to slight him. According to his knowledge, this seemingly ordinary black-robed young man in front of him had caused quite a commotion when he first entered the Xiao clan. After that, he was favored by the higher-ups of the Xiao clan. Now, he actually appeared in front of him again. This was an opportunity for the An clan.
Seeing that their head of the An clan actually displayed such a respectful attitude towards an unfamiliar young man, the few An clan members behind An Nan could not help but cast a surprised gaze at Xiao Yan, who was wearing a black robe. They could not help but feel suspicious in their hearts. Who exactly was this young man that could make An Nan so respectful?
"An Nan, it is too early for you to say this. Before everything is settled, he is not a true member of the Xiao clan. At most, he is just an outsider with the same surname."
Just as Xiao Yan and An Nan were chatting happily, a cold laughter that was filled with disdain suddenly sounded from the crowd at the side.
As the voice sounded, the surrounding crowd quickly moved aside. Soon after, Xiao Yan once again saw the Xiao Tian duo, who he had forced back not long ago. However, the difference from before was that there was an additional middle-aged figure in a light yellow robe in front of the two of them. The laughter just now was emitted from his mouth.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man who was stepping forward step by step. Surprise flashed across his eyes. With his current Spiritual Strength, he was actually unable to see through the middle-aged man's strength. In this way, there was no need to guess the identity of this person.
This middle-aged man must be the head of the Zhao clan in Liyang City, Zhao Jin!
