A week later, a black-robed Xiao Yan once again arrived at the outskirts of Yan City.
Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at the bustling city in front of him as he stood outside the city. A relaxed smile involuntarily surfaced on his face. After five years, he had returned to this place. Everything appeared to have not changed. He wondered if Jin Yao was the same as before.
As this thought flashed across his mind, Xiao Yan's footsteps did not linger as he strode towards the inner part of Yan City.
Following the route in his memory, Xiao Yan arrived in front of an ancient looking building a short while later. The three large words' Thousand Medicinal House 'were written on the signboard on the door. Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth involuntarily became even wider. Some scenes from a couple of years ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
When he arrived in front of the Thousand Medicine Shop, the main doors were open. The flow of people coming and going indicated that this business was booming. As the largest shop in Yan City, the daily profits of the Thousand Medicine Shop were ranked among the top in Yan City. Thus, it was reasonable for there to be so many people here.
After entering the Thousand Medicine Shop, Xiao Yan first found the shop's manager. The latter immediately recognized Xiao Yan when he first saw him. However, due to Jin Yao's special instructions, Xiao Yan's identity was not discovered by outsiders.
According to the manager, Xiao Yan found out that Jin Yao was not in the front of the Thousand Medicine Shop. This situation had been going on for a long time. According to the manager's guess, Jin Yao should be in her own courtyard. As for why this happened so often, the elder did not elaborate. He only stared at Xiao Yan for a long time, as if he knew something, but also as if he did not know anything.
With regards to this, Xiao Yan did not probe further. Since the other party was unwilling to speak, he naturally had no reason to probe further. He could only turn around and head towards Yan City, towards Jin Yao's courtyard.
After a short period of time, Xiao Yan arrived at this place. After pondering for a moment, he did not directly barge in. Instead, with a thought, the Soul Orb between his eyebrows trembled slightly as a formless Spiritual Force spread out and swiftly spread across the entire courtyard.
After a few breaths, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Force locked onto a small courtyard.
The small courtyard was not large. There were a few trees that were green all year round. There were stone tables and stone chairs in the courtyard, and flowers and grass were everywhere. There was a pond in the corner of the courtyard, and on the bluestone beside the pond, a beautiful woman in a red dress was sitting there with her legs crossed. As the cultivation method in her body circulated, the energy between heaven and earth uncontrollably gathered towards the woman in the red dress.
From the looks of this lady's appearance, she was surprisingly the owner of the Thousand Medicinal House, Jin Yao.
Five years did not leave any scars on Jin Yao's beautiful face. Instead, it caused her to gain an additional mature charm. Additionally, her strength had finally advanced to a three star Dou Di after five years. With such strength, she could be considered a tyrant even in the western region. There were not many people who could touch her.
Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly startled when he saw the latter's appearance as she sat on the bluestone. That spot was where he had once sat and trained.
"Who is it!"
While Xiao Yan's emotions were fluctuating, Jin Yao, who was seated on the bluestone within the small courtyard, also instantly discovered the latter's Spiritual Probing. Although it was only for an instant, it caused the latter to feel a great threat.
To be able to spread his Soul Strength to her side without her noticing, just from this point alone, the strength of the other party was absolutely not below Jin Yao's. In fact, it was extremely likely that the other party was even stronger than her!
"Don't tell me that the old man from the Zhao clan who will not die has broken through?"
Jin Yao's heart tightened. If it was that person, it would be troublesome.
On the other side, Xiao Yan had also withdrawn his Spiritual Strength the moment Jin Yao discovered it. He involuntarily smiled awkwardly in his heart.
With his current strength, it was naturally impossible for Jin Yao to easily discover his Spiritual Strength. This was because the emotion in his heart had changed slightly earlier, creating a little fluctuation that allowed Jin Yao to discover his existence.
However, since he had already been discovered, there was naturally no need for Xiao Yan to continue hiding.
"Ke ke, it has been five years since we last met. I wonder how jie-jie Jin Yao has been?"
However, just as Jin Yao's pretty face was solemn as she looked all around, a clear laughter was suddenly transmitted from the sky above the courtyard. Soon after, the black-robed Xiao Yan's body suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.
Xiao Yan, who had secretly appeared, caused Jin Yao's delicate body to tremble. She reflexively flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan. The Dou Qi in her body also began to swiftly circulate at this moment.
However, in the next moment, Jin Yao's delicate body suddenly paused. Her entire mind abruptly surged.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared intently at the face of the black-robed man in front of her. Her mind was like a bell ringing as she continuously recalled the words that the black-robed man had spat out.
A few seconds later, Jin Yao's eyes quickly turned red. A thin layer of moisture could not help but swirl in her eyes.
"You … you're still willing to come back!"
Finally, Jin Yao could not help but reveal an aggrieved expression as she cried out to Xiao Yan.
"Ke ke, jie-jie Jin Yao, have you been well these past five years?"
"I was almost worried to death by you!"
Jin Yao fiercely glared at Xiao Yan as she coquettishly pouted.
In response, Xiao Yan smiled embarrassedly. To be honest, he suddenly did not want to rest for so long. He had no choice but to do so in order to break through his strength.
"Half a month ago, I heard that the four great clans sent people into the Xilin Mountain Range. We all guessed that they might be targeting you. However, seeing that you're safe and sound, it shouldn't be."
Seeing that Xiao Yan had returned safe and sound, the large stone in Jin Yao's heart finally fell heavily. She let out a long sigh of relief and said with a light smile.
After all, the four great clans had mobilized quite a number of people this time. If such a large scale operation was only to capture a Half-emperor level Xiao Yan, why would he appear in front of her now?
"Ke ke, the person they wanted to capture was really me. However, they were unlucky and were left there forever by me."
Hearing Jin Yao's words, Xiao Yan lightly scratched his head and said with a calm expression.
When these words were said, Jin Yao could not help but be stunned. At the same time that she felt shocked in her heart, she was also endlessly suspicious.
Jin Yao naturally understood what Xiao Yan meant by leaving them there forever. However, with Xiao Yan's strength, how was it possible for him to do so?
"You said that you left them there forever. Don't tell me that they really went there to capture you?"
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded gently to show his affirmation.
"The ones leading them were all four star Dou Di. If you were able to leave them there, doesn't that mean that your cultivation is …"
"Huh?!"
Before the words from Jin Yao's mouth sounded, a thought passed through Xiao Yan's heart. Immediately, a faint aura swiftly spread from within his body. This pressure might not pose any threat to Jin Yao in front of him, but just this pressure was sufficient to let Jin Yao know his current cultivation level.
"This … this is … you … five … five star Dou Di!"
In an instant, a shocked expression involuntarily surfaced on Jin Yao's pretty face. The shock in her heart was indescribable.
