Within the inn, the black-clothed, old man's face was filled with shock as he looked at Xiao Yan, who was still eating. Beads of cold sweat were repeatedly emitted from his forehead. His heart repeatedly thought about the strength of that attack from Xiao Yan earlier in order to guess Xiao Yan's strength. After a couple of breaths, the black-clothed, old man had also roughly guessed Xiao Yan's strength. Hence, he thought in his heart:
"Looking at the strength of that attack from this person earlier, this person's strength should be between a seven star and an eight star Dou Zong. This person's strength is so great and his talent is extraordinary. There is definitely an extremely powerful faction supporting him from behind. Looks like this person is definitely not someone who can be defeated by force. I must try my best to be on good terms with him. Otherwise, if I end up offending a faction that my Wu clan cannot touch, my Wu clan will be finished! Ugh! This time around, young master has really gotten into big trouble. Once we return, I will definitely ask the clan head to properly discipline him. "
Suddenly, the black-clothed, old man's body suddenly charged forward. He charged between the green-clothed man and the girl. Before the two of them could react, his hands tightly grabbed their wrists. His body moved and charged out of the inn. Xiao Yan did not move. It was as though he was allowing them to leave. However, just as the three of them were about to enter the staircase, a soft laugh suddenly sounded from the second floor of the inn. One could see that Xiao Yan, who was originally eating the side dishes, had already stood up. His hands were placed behind him as he looked at the three of them with a smile. After which, he softly opened his mouth and said:
"The three of you have just arrived. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Since I have finished the side dishes on my plate, why don't I treat the three of you to some main dishes? "
Xiao Yan's tone was extremely soft when he spoke. It was as though he was really inviting the black-clothed, old man and the two others. However, the black-clothed, old man was suddenly startled when he heard these words. If the side dishes were finished, wouldn't the main dishes be theirs? The black-clothed, old man's feet suddenly quickened. He wanted to leave the inn before Xiao Yan acted.
The black-clothed, old man's body had just moved when he instantly stopped. Both of his eyes were shocked as he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan. Just as he was about to descend, the black-clothed, old man was shocked to discover that he was actually unable to move. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was walking toward the three of them one step at a time.
In comparison, the black-clothed, old man was clearly in a much better state than the two people beside him. The green-clothed man and the girl beside him had been frightened by Xiao Yan's Spiritual Pressure until they had lost their consciousness. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, had merely fixed the black-clothed, old man on the spot. The black-clothed, old man seemed to be aware of what Xiao Yan was planning to do. Hence, the Spiritual Strength within his mind wildly surged out and struck the brows of the two people beside him.
The man and woman were finally awakened under the desperate situation of the Black Costume Old Man. The moment they were awakened, the Black Costume Old Man swung his arm and threw the two of them out of the window. At the same time, he sent a sound transmission to the green-clothed man:
"First Young Master, quickly return to the clan and inform the clan leader of this matter. You must tell the clan leader that the faction behind this person is very strong. We can only do our best to befriend him and must not become enemies with him! Otherwise, the clan will definitely attract a great calamity! Remember! " The last words of the black-clothed old man contained a tragic feeling, causing Xiao Yan to feel speechless for a long while. He had offended someone, yet he still felt that he was a hero. At this moment, all of the people on the second floor immediately woke up.
At this moment, everyone on the second floor of the inn instantly came to a realization. How was this man seeking his own death? He was clearly an absolute genius. His strength had already reached the Dou Zong class at such a young age. In that case, he would definitely be an absolute expert that would shock the world. He might even become a legend one day. Yet, the Wu clan had not only gone out to curry favor with such a person but also wanted to kill him. This Wu clan was really extremely stupid. Some people repeatedly sighed in their hearts when they thought that such a rare opportunity had been abandoned by them. However, some people also had cold smiles on their faces. This Wu clan had been arrogant and despotic for the past ten years. Now, there was finally someone who could come and teach them a lesson.
The eyes of the green-clothed man suddenly shrunk when he heard this. His body forcefully turned in the air and hugged the girl, whose face was pale with fright. His body landed steadily on the ground, and then he quickly flew back to the clan.
Xiao Yan did not even look at the man and woman who had fled. His face was calm as he looked at the black-clothed old man opposite him. When the black-clothed old man saw that Xiao Yan was looking at him, he hurriedly gave Xiao Yan a courteous smile that was uglier than crying. He smiled and said to Xiao Yan:
"It is indeed my fault for attacking you just now. Actually, it is only a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My Young Master is used to sitting in your position. Therefore, he … However, I have already asked him to return to the clan to call the clan leader. The clan leader will personally come and apologize to you. I hope that you will not be angry, alright?"
Xiao Yan coldly laughed when he heard this and said:
"You are from the Wu Clan right? Previously, there was a person from the Liu Clan who helped me. I heard him say that the Wu Clan of Qingyang City is incomparably arrogant, despotic, and ruthless. I did not expect that today, it is indeed so. Haha …"
Xiao Yan coldly looked at the black-clothed old man, causing him to feel as if there was a thorn in his back. He was extremely uncomfortable. However, in the next moment, the black-clothed old man had an idea. He smiled and said to Xiao Yan:
"Haha, so it's you. This is really a case of family not recognizing family. The one who helped you is Liu Xiang, right? Haha, to tell you the truth, that kid is my grandson. If I had known about this earlier, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings!" Liu Xiang laughed.
Xiao Yan slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The faces of everyone in the inn twitched slightly. This old man's skin was too thick. If he was discovered to be impersonating someone from the Liu Clan, wouldn't it be over for him?
The black-clothed old man naturally knew this in his heart. However, now that he had spoken, how could he take back his words? Moreover, if he did not speak at this moment, what if that fellow Liu Xiang asked him to deal with the Wu Clan after helping this person? No matter how strong the Wu Clan was, they would definitely not be a match for the other party. Right now, he could only stall for time. If he really could not, he could just wait for the clan leader to arrive and kill him in one fell swoop. As long as he dealt with everyone who knew about this, even if his Wu Clan really killed the younger generation of some large faction, so what?
When he thought of this, the smile on the black-clothed old man's face became even more resplendent. However, in Xiao Yan's eyes, it was incomparably horrifying. How could Xiao Yan not know what the black-clothed old man was thinking? However, Xiao Yan turned his head to look outside the window of the inn. A trace of surprise appeared on his face.
Xiao Yan looked at the black-clothed, old man. He did not attack. All he did was smile. The black-clothed, old man appeared to have understood something. He did not say anything about being a member of the Liu clan. Instead, he accompanied Xiao Yan as they stood in the same spot and quietly waited. A while later, a mighty and domineering middle-aged man shot in from outside the window. He appeared beside the black-clothed old man in a flash. When the black-clothed old man explained the relationship between Xiao Yan and the Liu Clan, the face of the Wu Clan's patriarch changed. He sent a message to the black-clothed old man and then walked towards Xiao Yan with a chuckle. However, when he arrived in front of Xiao Yan, the two of them suddenly attacked Xiao Yan. They wanted to kill Xiao Yan in a single strike.
Xiao Yan's expression did not change when he saw this. This caused the black-clothed old man and the black-clothed old man to feel a little uneasy in their hearts. The strength in their hands became even more ferocious as they wildly attacked Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, quietly stood in the same spot. Both of his hands were placed behind his back and he did not move. However, just as the attacks of the two were about to land on Xiao Yan's body, a 'bang' was heard. The charging bodies of the Wu Clan's patriarch and the black-clothed old man suddenly paused. A somewhat tired figure appeared in front of the two and blocked their attacks. An instant later, this figure staggered three steps back while the Wu Clan's patriarch and the black-clothed old man only took a small step back. The two of them focused their eyes and coldly laughed. The gazes they used to look at Xiao Yan became even darker and colder. However, Xiao Yan ignored the two of them. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The man also seemed to have sensed something and turned around. A warm smile appeared on his pale face. Xiao Yan's eyes swept around for a moment before he smiled and nodded in response.
The fury in the Wu clan head's heart grew when he saw that the two of them actually did not place the two of them in their eyes. He let out an explosive cry and the Dou Qi in his body circulated rapidly. A glow flashed in his hand and a longsword appeared in it. He pierced the longsword toward the man who had his back facing him. However, the man did not dodge. Instead, he turned around and met the attack with a punch.
"Sword of Heaven and Earth!" "Mountain Shaking Fist!"
The two of them let out an explosive roar at the same time. The sword and fist collided and both of them took a step back. The Wu clan head's body shook and the frightening force on his body was completely removed. On the other hand, the blood in the middle-aged man's body churned and a flush appeared on his pale face.
"Ha ha ha ha! Liu Huabai, you are still not good enough! With your current strength, I advise you to quickly leave. Don't think about forcefully protecting this child. If you leave, the old me guarantees that I will not touch your Liu clan for the next five years. Otherwise, the old me can let you off today. However, you cannot blame the old me tomorrow. Therefore, do you think that the clan is more important or an outsider who has no relationship with you is more important? " The Wu clan head coldly laughed as he spoke. His eyes were filled with ridicule as he looked at the Liu clan head.
The Liu clan head's eyebrows were tightly knit together when he heard this. His somewhat flushed face revealed a conflicted expression. Logically speaking, there was indeed no relationship between him and Xiao Yan. In fact, the two of them had only just met. However, he was indebted to Xiao Yan. Even though it was indirect, Xiao Yan had still helped him greatly. However, what about his clan? What about his clan?
After thinking about it, the Liu clan head finally decided to protect Xiao Yan. After all, as long as he could protect Xiao Yan, it would mean that the Liu clan was already on good terms with him. With Xiao Yan's talent, he would definitely be valued by some large forces. As long as the clan could hold on until then, not to mention the Wu clan in this small Qingyang City, even a clan ten times stronger than the Wu clan would have to give some face to the Liu clan.
The originally hesitant expression of the head of the Liu clan immediately became firm when he thought of this. He stood in front of Xiao Yan and blocked the head of the Wu clan, who was about to attack Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's eyes, which were as calm as an old well, revealed an expression of admiration when he saw this. He nodded in a manner that was undetectable and continued to watch.
The Head of the Wu Clan looked at the Head of the Liu Clan, who had a resolute expression on his face. Both of their faces instantly darkened. Their hands slowly clenched into fists, and they looked like they were about to attack. This caused the Head of the Liu Clan's face to instantly turn grave.
However, in the next moment, the Wu clan head suddenly laughed loudly.
"Good! Good! Good! Good for you, Liu Huabai! Good for you, Liu clan! Just wait for my Wu clan's anger! I originally wanted to give you some time to breathe, but since your Liu clan doesn't want it, then don't blame this old man! Wash your necks tonight and wait for my Wu clan's bombardment tomorrow! "
The Wu clan head roared furiously. As soon as he finished speaking, the Wu clan head and Liu Huabai left the inn and headed back to their clans to prepare for the battle tomorrow.
Liu Huabai waited until the Wu clan head and Liu Huabai disappeared from sight before turning to look at Xiao Yan. Seeing Xiao Yan's indifferent expression, Liu Huabai's eyes narrowed slightly before he opened his mouth to ask Xiao Yan.
"What plans do you have? If you don't have any, I would like to invite you to my humble abode as a guest for a night to prevent that old ghost from the Wu clan from attacking you in the middle of the night. I wonder if you can agree to my proposal? "
Xiao Yan looked at Liu Huabai and revealed a smile. He nodded and said,
"Then I'll have to bother you."
Liu Huabai hurriedly waved his hand in denial and left the inn with Xiao Yan with a smile on his face. As soon as he left the inn, Xiao Yan saw Liu Xiang, who had previously led the way for him. Seeing Liu Xiang's respectful expression, Xiao Yan slightly frowned. After talking for a long time, Liu Xiang once again returned to his appearance of leading the way for Xiao Yan. He chatted and laughed with Xiao Yan, leaving the Liu clan head to the side in the cold. This caused the Liu clan head to feel rather helpless. He could only follow the two and watch as Xiao Yan and Liu Xiang walked towards the Liu clan's residence together.
