Qingyang City, Liu Family Mansion.
There were over ten people in a large hall. A pale-faced, somewhat weak human figure was seated on a wooden chair in the middle of the large hall. Liu Huabai looked at Xiao Yan who was seated below and opened his mouth to ask with a smile, "Xiao Yan, what are you waiting for?
"May I know where fellow Xiao Yan lives?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan naturally knew that the other party wanted to understand the value of his bet. Otherwise, how would he explain it to his family? After all, he, Liu Huabai, had used his own family as a bet to protect Xiao Yan. However, if he failed in the end, the price was not something he could bear. Even if he lost his entire family, he would not be able to make up for his mistake.
Xiao Yan did not immediately answer. Instead, he first glanced at everyone in the hall. Most of these people were elders and outstanding juniors of the Liu Family. They had all heard about the upcoming war between the two families, and it was all because of this outsider called Xiao Yan. They could roughly guess the reason why the Patriarch used the entire family to protect Xiao Yan. Thus, there was a trace of expectation on their faces. Xiao Yan swept his gaze over them once, then faced Liu Huabai and replied with a smile,
"I'm just a rogue cultivator. I only have my current strength because I encountered some opportunities. I don't have an exact place to stay."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall immediately became restless. The reason why they were able to quietly wait here was because Xiao Yan had an affirmation of the power behind him. However, looking at it now, this brat simply had nothing. He had always been putting on an act. Even Liu Huabai, the Patriarch's face slightly changed when he heard this, but in the next moment, he stabilized again. This was because he saw the faint confident smile on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth. This kind of calm and confident smile in the face of danger was not the first time he had seen it. Moreover, Liu Huabai felt that there seemed to be some meaning in this smile that he could not see clearly. That was the real reason why he dared to use his family as a bet. Previously, when he was facing the Wu Family Head and Liu Huabai at the inn, he had this kind of smile. However, at this moment, he was still so calm and collected. This was definitely not putting on an act. This child was definitely not an ordinary person!
Thinking up to here, Liu Huabai's heart calmed down. His wide palm fiercely slammed on the table made of good cedar wood. Wood shavings flew in all directions, and a loud sound spread throughout the hall. The noisy hall instantly became silent. Everyone glared at Xiao Yan, but they did not dare to make a sound. Liu Huabai looked at the silent crowd, and an imposing aura that came from a superior suddenly rose, causing the minds of everyone below to shake. Their gazes could not help but gather towards Liu Huabai.
Liu Huabai looked at the crowd that was looking at him, then deeply looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting below, and finally opened his mouth to speak.
"Although Fellow Xiao Yan is alone, he has done me a great favor. Right now, the Wu Family wholeheartedly wants to annex my Liu Family, and Fellow Xiao Yan is also an enemy of the Wu Family. How can my Liu Family sit by and do nothing? Moreover, even if the Wu Family really does not touch my Liu Family within five years, can my Liu Family really raise its strength to the point where it can contend against the Wu Family within five years? Therefore, I have decided to join hands with Fellow Xiao Yan to fight against the Wu Family. If we win, my Liu Family will exist in this Azure Sun City forever. If we lose, I will also make the Wu Family suffer great losses and be unable to establish itself in this Azure Sun City! I wonder if the men of my Liu Family dare to fight against the Wu Family with me, destroy the Wu Family, and restore the glory of my Liu Family! "
The more Liu Huabai spoke, the more excited he became. He even began to roar. Once his impassioned words left his mouth, everyone in the hall shouted in unison, "Senior Brother Liu Huabai!
"Fight! Fight! Fight … "
This also caused Xiao Yan to quietly sigh and nod his head. When Liu Huabai saw Xiao Yan repeatedly nod his head, Liu Huabai's eyes hardened slightly. This kind of attitude of looking at things was like the feeling of an old senior praising a junior. This caused Liu Huabai's heart to involuntarily be shocked. Could it be that this Xiao Yan was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years?
In this world, there were always some old seniors who liked to use some secret techniques to return to their youthful appearance. This way, they would pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger in a crowd, causing everyone to be angry and helpless. Now that Liu Huabai suddenly thought of this, and combined all the previous actions of Xiao Yan, Liu Huabai's heart became even more excited. If Xiao Yan was really a senior who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, then the matter of him using the strength of his family to protect Xiao Yan would definitely cause him to have a good impression of his Liu Family. At that time, it would be the time for his Liu Family to rise!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the sound of a door being broken rang out. Five white-robed and white-haired old men walked into the main hall. Immediately, everyone in the main hall made way for them. The five of them walked up to Liu Huabai. A faint light shot out from the eyes of the leading old man as he looked at Liu Huabai and said, "Family Head, I don't think so.
"Family Head, I don't think that's possible. As long as the Wu Clan allows our Liu Clan to recuperate for five years, Family Head's strength may not necessarily be unable to increase. Furthermore, Family Head has already recovered. Five years later, our Liu Clan will definitely be able to stand tall in Qingyang City. However, Family Head wants to gamble with the clan for a completely unknown junior. Family Head, you're really gambling!"
The expressions of everyone in the main hall changed when they heard this. Their eyes carried a dense suspicion as they looked at Liu Huabai. The old man also narrowed his eyes. His gaze was sharp as he looked at Liu Huabai. However, Liu Huabai ignored them when he heard this. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yan, who had been seated with a calm face. Xiao Yan smiled when he saw Liu Huabai looking at him. He stood up and looked at the five old men.
He faintly said, "Family Head Liu, these five people are the Elders of your Liu Family, right?"
Liu Huabai frowned slightly when he heard this. However, he still nodded and acknowledged it. He opened his mouth and spoke to Xiao Yan.
"The one in the middle is the First Elder of my Liu Family. His strength has reached the peak of a seven star Dou Zong. He is the strongest person in my Liu Family other than me. The other four are also Elders of my Liu Family. Their strengths are not ordinary and they are all elite Dou Zongs. They are the cornerstones of my Liu Family. Unfortunately …"
Liu Huabai originally became increasingly excited the more he spoke. However, he still carried some desolation as he lowered his voice in the end. Xiao Yan was unconcerned when he heard this. He looked at the five Elders. One of them coldly snorted when he saw Xiao Yan's gaze. He opened his mouth and mocked,
"Where did this ignorant junior come from? The old me advises you to leave my Liu Family as soon as possible. Do not create any more trouble for my Liu Family. Otherwise, the old me will immediately kill you on the spot! Hmph! "When he finished speaking, this Elder's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as he looked at Liu Huabai, who was seated in the leader's seat.
Xiao Yan saw all of this in his eyes. The corner of his mouth was lifted into an icy arc. Suddenly, Xiao Yan mocked Liu Huabai.
"Family Head Liu, these few Elders of your Liu Family seem to be very dissatisfied with you. In that case, I will help you discipline them." Xiao Yan's words were said in an incomparably calm manner. However, Liu Huabai's ears were like thunder from the Nine Heavens. His heart was incomparably shocked. Just as he was about to act, he saw the few Elders roaring with laughter. His expression changed slightly and Liu Huabai could not help but curse quietly in his heart.
"These few old fellows who will not die. They are already like this and they still can't see clearly. If this Xiao Yan was really an ordinary person, would I still be so friendly with him? What a group of stupid pigs! "
"Bang!"
Liu Huabai's words had just sounded when the laughter of the five Elders suddenly disappeared. Replacing it was a loud bang that resounded throughout the large hall. Everyone's faces were filled with shock as they looked at Xiao Yan. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. Just a moment ago, Xiao Yan had merely waved his sleeves and the five top experts in Qingyang City were sent flying. They violently collided with the pillars in the large hall. This sudden scene immediately caused everyone in the Liu Family to come to a realization. This young man, who appeared to be similar in age to them, was actually an extremely strong person. His strength was at least above that of a Dou Zun. Liu Huabai, on the other hand, was both shocked and helpless as he looked at Xiao Yan. He had already expected that Xiao Yan was not an ordinary person. However, he did not expect Xiao Yan to be this strong. Fortunately, he did not provoke him like these few old fellows. Otherwise, it was likely that the Liu Family would be destroyed today.
Xiao Yan's eyes were indifferent as he looked at the five Elders of the Liu Family. He let out a cold snort. A thought passed through his heart and he bound the five Elders of the Liu Family in the air. His hand was extended and a claw was about to grab them.
"Elder, please wait!"
Liu Huabai's heart tightened when he saw that Xiao Yan was about to kill the five Elders of his family. He hurriedly cried out to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan frowned slightly when he heard this. After which, he let out a cold snort. The five Elders of the Liu Family were thrown out of the large hall by Xiao Yan like broken sacks. Liu Huabai also sighed in relief. He stood up, looked at Xiao Yan, bowed and said,
"Elder, thank you for your kindness of not killing them. Junior will definitely punish them according to the family rules." When Liu Huabai spoke, there was not the slightest trace of sloppiness. Moreover, he called for people to carry the five Elders into the family's prison to await Liu Huabai's punishment. When Liu Huabai sent people to carry the five Elders away, he especially angrily told the servants to move faster. He said that he did not want them to be stained by Elder Xiao Yan's eyes. However, when everyone heard this, they all curled their lips and did not say anything. This also caused Liu Huabai, the family head of the Liu Family, to slightly blush. However, for the safety of the five Elders, Liu Huabai endured it with a red face.
"I wonder if Elder is satisfied with Junior's actions? If you are dissatisfied, Junior will immediately call the servants to carry them back and let Elder punish them as you wish. "When Liu Huabai saw that Xiao Yan still had an expressionless face, he bowed to Xiao Yan and asked.
"It's fine. I only hope that Family Head Liu can properly manage the family in the future and not cause trouble for your family. I hope that today's matter will not happen again in the future. Otherwise, I believe that Family Head Liu knows the consequences in his heart. At that time, it may not be like today."
Xiao Yan's words were very flat, but Liu Huabai's heart could not help but tremble. Xiao Yan was right. Being able to let the five Elders of the Liu Family go like this already showed that Xiao Yan was magnanimous enough. If it was someone else, perhaps the entire Liu Family would already be finished. When Liu Huabai thought of this, he cursed angrily in his heart. In the end, he still sighed slightly and muttered.
"Looks like it's time to tidy up the family."
Although his voice was not loud, who wasn't a person with strength here? This little bit of sound was already enough for them. After hearing these words, everyone in the hall started to stir. A family storm was already unavoidable.
Xiao Yan did not pay attention to the changes on everyone's faces. He turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall. Seeing this, Liu Huabai also hurriedly followed to Xiao Yan's side, wanting to lead the way. However, Xiao Yan did not seem to have any intention of letting Liu Huabai lead the way. He minded his own business and walked forward, as if he was strolling in the Liu Mansion. However, Liu Huabai's heart could not help but tremble slightly. The direction that Xiao Yan was walking in was his bedroom. Could it be that Xiao Yan … This caused Liu Huabai to be somewhat angry. Even if you are a senior, an expert, and do not put my small family in your eyes, but I am still the head of a family. You actually did such an action. Even Liu Huabai could not bear to continue watching at this moment. If it was not for the fact that he still did not know Xiao Yan's ultimate goal, Liu Huabai would have already fought with his life on the line with Xiao Yan.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yan waved his sleeve, and the tightly shut door of Liu Huabai's room was blasted open by an invisible force, revealing a few pieces of furniture and a bed. Xiao Yan took the lead to enter, and Liu Huabai followed closely with a gloomy face. The moment Liu Huabai entered, the wooden door, which was also made of fine Nanmu wood, closed with a loud bang, locking the two of them inside. Liu Huabai's face slightly changed as he looked at Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan sat at the side of the tea table and did not even look at Liu Huabai. He filled the jade teacup on the table with tea and took a small sip. Only then did he open his mouth to speak to the gloomy Liu Huabai.
"Just now, I saw that your aura was unstable and your blood was unstable. There are hidden injuries in your body, and Liu Xiang has already found the medicinal ingredients for you. I presume that the alchemist in your family is not skilled enough and is unable to help you completely eliminate the sequelae in your body, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Huabai was startled at first. Then, he looked at Xiao Yan with a sigh and nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then said,
"For Liu Xiang's sake, go over, sit on the bed, and take off your clothes. I'll directly help you eliminate the hidden dangers in your body."
Hearing this, Liu Huabai hurriedly did as he was told. Xiao Yan smiled slightly, then walked over to help him treat his injuries.
