Hearing the words from Bai Ying's mouth, Xiao Yan, who was illuminated by the purple light, could not help but frown slightly. Clearly, Xiao Yan was not interested in the latter's half-joking words.
Under the purple light, the change in expression on Xiao Yan's face was also reflected in the eyes of the two people in front of him. In the dark night, Bai Ying and the old man beside him smiled at each other. Only then did they return their gazes to Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up. He could not help but gently shake his head. His Dou Qi was extremely weak, causing the current Xiao Yan to feel that his mind was unable to endure. There was a faint pain in the depths of his mind. This was caused by the attack of the strong wind while he was flying. It had nothing to do with any injuries. However, it would likely take a few days for him to recover.
After calming himself down, Xiao Yan's face was calm in the dark night. Under the purple light, no emotion could be seen on his face. This point involuntarily caused the two people standing in front of Xiao Yan to be slightly shocked. To be able to sort out his state of mind in the blink of an eye, such a person could not help but cause one's heart to be solemn.
"Ha ha, mister Xiao Yan is indeed extraordinary. This kind of mental strength is something that I cannot compare to!"
Bai Ying smiled and cupped his hands together towards Xiao Yan. He did not show any intention of underestimating Xiao Yan just because he was a Half-emperor expert.
Bai Ying did not doubt that if he dared to underestimate Xiao Yan in front of him, it was likely that he would have to pay a great price. With Sun Shuo as an example, he believed that this was enough.
"There is no need for clan leader Bai to be so polite. Since you have brought me to such a remote place, it is likely that it is not as simple as saving me. If there is anything, clan leader Bai can just say it."
The expression on Xiao Yan's face did not change even a little because of the words from Bai Ying's mouth. Xiao Yan spoke faintly before crossing his hands over his chest and standing in the same spot. He was expressionless as he looked at Bai Ying without saying anything.
"Brat, you …"
The expression of the old man standing beside Bai Ying immediately became gloomy when he saw that Xiao Yan had actually revealed such a fearless manner. A cold snort was emitted from his nose as the Dou Qi within the old man's body began to circulate.
"Haoxuan!"
However, Bai Ying suddenly shouted. The old man's expression changed. He glanced at Bai Ying and found that Bai Ying was staring at him with a gloomy expression.
Secretly curling his lips, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yan. Once again, he let out a cold snort. Then, the old man resentfully withdrew his gaze.
"Since Mr. Xiao Yan doesn't like to beat around the bush, then I won't beat around the bush."
Bai Ying had a smile on his face. He first cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan as an apology for the old man's actions. At the same time, he spoke with a soft smile.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not comment. With a flick of his finger, two pills shot into his mouth. His throat rolled as he swallowed them.
Xiao Yan ignored the two people in front of him as he sensed the faint warmth being emitted from his body. Instead, he slowly circulated the Qi Method in his body. The 'Heavenly Flame' surged and began to refine the two medicinal pills in his body.
Bai Ying could not help but secretly frown in response. However, he still maintained a warm smile on his face.
"Haha, no matter what, I have saved Mr. Xiao Yan. Don't tell me that mister doesn't even have a word of thanks?"
"If not for you, perhaps I would have already taken the things I obtained and left Cold Stream City instead of wasting my breath with you."
Bai Ying nonchalantly said. However, Xiao Yan did not show any mercy.
Xiao Yan really did not want to have anything to do with these people who had ulterior motives. People like these who liked to use their brains often liked to use others as tools. If Xiao Yan was not careful, he might really fall into their trap. Instead of preventing trouble, it was better to nip them in the bud.
When he heard Xiao Yan's words, Bai Ying could not help but frown. He originally thought that if he mentioned the previous matter, Xiao Yan would at least give him some face. However, he did not expect Xiao Yan to be so rude.
When the old man to the side heard this, he let out a cold snort. This time, Bai Ying was too lazy to stop him. Xiao Yan did not seem to be easy to get along with.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Yan might have misunderstood. You should have heard it earlier. Our Bai clan does not have a good impression of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It can even be said that there is a grudge between our Bai clan and the Heavenly Sword Sect …"
Even with Bai Ying's character, a slight ripple involuntarily appeared in his tone when he spoke. From this, one could tell that Bai Ying seemed to have a great opinion of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"So?"
Xiao Yan was not interested in the relationship between the Bai clan and the Heavenly Sword Sect. He only wanted to know why Bai Ying had brought him here. Of course, at this moment, Xiao Yan was able to roughly guess Bai Ying's intentions.
Bai Ying glanced at the old man by the side when he spoke until this point. Their gazes met and the old man immediately understood Bai Ying's intention. Soon after, the old man waved his sleeve and a majestic Dou Qi immediately swept out. With the empty space where the three of them stood as the center, an enormous Dou Qi light barrier was formed within a hundred feet radius of the three of them, surrounding them.
Under the cover of this Dou Qi light barrier, any probing would be isolated. The voices within could not be heard by the outside world.
Other than this, this Dou Qi light barrier had also trapped Xiao Yan's group within it. Unless the old man acted and took the initiative to remove this light barrier, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to charge out in his current condition.
This move of the old man not only isolated any external forces, but also sealed off Xiao Yan's escape route.
Bai Ying frowned slightly in the face of this, but he still chose to acquiesce.
He was similarly worried. He had painstakingly brought Xiao Yan in front of him to this place. If Xiao Yan were to disappear from this place without even turning his head around, would that not mean that all his efforts would be for naught? Instead, he would end up offending the Sun clan and create more trouble for himself.
"What do you mean by this?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. The expression in his eyes was slightly cold as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Mister Xiao Yan need not mind. Our actions are for the sake of safety. After all, as I have said, there is also a grudge between our Bai clan and the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, the Heavenly Sword Sect is currently at its peak and the time is not right. Our Bai clan must also be careful when doing things."
Bai Ying hurriedly cupped his hands to Xiao Yan after Xiao Yan's words sounded. His expression was quite solemn as he spoke.
Seeing this, a dense white light flashed deep within Xiao Yan's eyes. After which, he coldly nodded and said,
"Can you say it now? Why did you bring me here?"
Hearing this, Bai Ying once again exchanged glances with the old man beside him. Immediately, he turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan. Bai Ying nodded slightly and said,
"I brought Mister Xiao Yan here today for no other reason. I only hope to discuss something with Mister Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan lifted his eyebrows slightly. He turned his gaze and his right index finger gently leaped and flicked on his right shoulder. Immediately, he lifted his eyes slightly and the corner of his mouth was lifted into a smile. His tone was indifferent as he said,
"Speak."
"I hope to invite Mister Xiao Yan to join our Bai clan."
