For two consecutive days, Xiao Yan had not yet arrived from the inner courtyard. Xiao Xue almost doubted whether Xiao Yan was still in seclusion practicing?

This guy is waiting for me to get back to the inner courtyard and I will beat him up. My second brother has been beaten into this state.

"water..."

Xiao Li was muttering something, and after hearing it, Xiao Xue came to her senses, poured herself a glass of water, walked to the bed and sat down, gently helped Xiao Li up, and put the cup next to Xiao Li's mouth. After Xiao Li finished drinking the water, Xiao Xue carefully put Xiao Li down.

It's been two days and I'm finally feeling better. Xiao Xue put down the cup in her hand and heard footsteps outside the door.

As Xiao Xue turned around, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu followed into the house.

Xiao Yan looked at the man lying on the bed, whose breathing had evened out. He had just received the news and rushed over with Xiao Xun'er. On the way, he heard Xiao Yu talking about the injuries Xiao Li had suffered. Xiao Yan was furious and kept frowning.

Now that he saw that Xiao Li's condition had improved, he felt a little relieved.

"I wonder who hurt my second brother so badly?"

Xiao Xue curled her lips slightly: "I guess it was the injury he got when he passed through the Black Horn Region. Otherwise, with my second brother's strength, if he got injured before entering the Black Horn Region, I'm afraid he wouldn't be like this now."

Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Xiao Li. It was true. They knew the dangers of the Black Horn Region. Now they would have to wait for Xiao Li to wake up before they would know everything.

"Little sister, I heard from cousin Xiao Yu that you haven't had a good rest these days. Go and rest now. I'm here."

Xiao Xun'er also nodded to signal Xiao Xue to go and rest. Xiao Xue nodded slightly. Xiao Yu took Xiao Xue to his room to rest, leaving only Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er in the room to take care of Xiao Li.

Another day passed before Xiao Li came to his senses. When he saw Xiao Xue, Xiao Yan's first words were that the Xiao family was ruined.

Xiao Li was filled with anger. Xiao Xue handed him a glass of water and consoled him: "Brother, don't be angry. What happened? Aren't you in Graphite City?"

Xiao Li took the cup of water handed to him by Xiao Xue and sighed. The anger that had just burst out of his eyes turned into disappointment in himself.

Xiao Yan stood up and closed the door. Only Xiao Xue and Xiao Yan were left in the room. They sat on the stool in front of the bed.

"Second brother, stop sighing. Who is it this time?"

Xiao Yan reached out and gently patted Xiao Li's hand. Xiao Li slowly raised his head and looked at his two closest family members.

Xiao Li actually shed tears, and a feeling of regret arose spontaneously.

"We don't know either. That group of people suddenly showed up at the Graphite City Mercenary Headquarters one night."

"What are their characteristics?"

"feature?"

Xiao Xue looked at Xiao Yan. From Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Xue guessed that Xiao Yan should think of Yunlan Sect first. Perhaps only Yunlan Sect would take action against the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but clench his fists, the hatred coming from the depths of his heart.

Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yan, who was full of hostility, and turned to look at Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue shook her head slightly, and then nodded. Xiao Li understood what she meant.

He continued, "The group of people were dressed in black, and the weapon in their hands was a very long iron chain with a sickle at one end of the chain. Their attack was a huge blow to the human soul."

Listening to Xiao Li's description, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head. Xiao Xue stood up and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder gently, as if to help Xiao Yan calm down his anger.

They are not yet a match for those people, although Xiao Xue would not necessarily suffer a loss even if she faced them now.

But he is just a Dou Wang, but there are many to target.

Xiao Yan turned his head and blinked gently, his clenched fists slowly loosened, and he uttered two words: "Soul Palace!"

Xiao Li didn't quite understand what Xiao Yan meant by the Soul Palace, so he once again turned to Xiao Xue for help. After all, Xiao Xue was the only one who had been with Xiao Yan all these years.

It seems that only Xiao Xue knows what Xiao Yan means.

But Xiao Xue just shook her head and did not respond to Xiao Li's puzzled look.

"Second brother, how much loss did the family suffer this time? How many people escaped?"

Xiao Yan had witnessed with his own eyes how ruthless and powerful the people from the Soul Palace were, so he must have the answer in his mind.

Xiao Li sighed, looked at Xiao Xue, and said to Xiao Yan, "Only a hundred people from the family escaped this time, and only a few people from the entire mercenary group escaped. The elders and seniors in the family suffered heavy casualties, and my eldest brother..."

Upon hearing about Xiao Ding, Xiao Yan asked with concern: "Brother? What happened to him?"

"Brother was seriously injured and lost all his skills in order to cover our escape. This time, more than a hundred people were able to escape thanks to the Mittel Auction House. It was the old man who was with you last time who saved them. Otherwise, the consequences would have been even more serious."

"Old Hai!" Xiao Xue muttered silently in her heart. She had taken a risk for the sake of her family's Mitre Auction House. She would definitely repay him for such a great favor when she returned.

"I was able to come to Canaan College this time thanks to the flying monsters provided by Miter Auction House. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get here."

"Second brother, your injury should be caused by passing through the Black Horn Region, right?"

Xiao Xue raised her questions cautiously.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Black Horn Region was so chaotic. Fortunately, the batch of pills sent by Miter Auction House allowed me to successfully advance to the 9-star Grand Fighter, which gave me the ability to escape."

However, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xue. This girl actually did all these things behind his back.

Xiao Li looked at the strange look in Xiao Yan's eyes when he looked at Xiao Xue, and asked casually, "Xiao Yanzi, are you guys hiding something from me?"

Xiao Yan felt that there was no need to keep it secret any longer. This time, Xiao Yu also mentioned that Xiao Xue provided them with elixirs for upgrading.

So he decided to say it out loud: "I don't think it was sent by Miter Auction House. Someone didn't want to reveal that they entrusted Miter Auction House to send it."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Xue beside him, and Xiao Xue smiled awkwardly.

"Xiao Yanzi? What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan almost vomited blood. It seemed that after all these years of experience, his second brother's brain was still not working very well.

"This is all thanks to my little sister."

"Little sister?" Xiao Li started coughing again at this time. Xiao Xue quickly tried to smooth things over, stood up and helped Xiao Li lie down again.

"Okay, second brother, I've said everything I need to say today. Just rest and recuperate. When your injuries are healed, decide where to go."

Xiao Xue covered herself with a quilt and pulled Xiao Yan out the door, while Xiao Li stood up and looked outside with a confused look on his face.

Xiao Yan walked out of the room with murderous intent in his eyes. Xiao Xue shook her head and took it indifferently.

"Brother, I know you feel bad, and I feel bad too, but the Yunlan Sect is colluding with the Soul Palace, and the people of the Jia Ma Empire don't know about it. It is obvious that only the people of the Soul Palace took action this time. The Yunlan Sect wants to reap the benefits. But Yunlan Sect, we will go back sooner or later."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xue, who was much calmer than himself, and knew that he was still easily impulsive, so he slowly relaxed.
