Fighting: Summon two Dou Huangs as bodyguards at the beginning

Xiao Yan returned to the room. Lin Xiuya was practicing, while Lin Yan and Liu Qing were jumping around in the room.

When Xiao Yan came back, the two of them surrounded him immediately.

"Where did you go? Why didn't you come back for so long?" Lin Yan grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulders and started asking.

When Yun Potian left, he was worried that they would go out and cause trouble, so he specifically told Lin Xiuya to keep an eye on Lin Yan and Liu Qing.

So the two of them stayed in the room until now, but what they didn't know was that Xiao Yan had already attended an auction.

Xiao Yan smiled and comforted them, saying, "I just went out for a walk. It's actually very boring outside."

However, Lin Yan and Liu Qing did not buy Xiao Yan's words at all.

Lin Yan said, "What on earth are we supposed to be doing here? Elder Yun hasn't even told us a single thing!"

"That's right. I can't practice here, and now I can't even see others." Liu Qing also quickly agreed.

Lin Xiuya was so distracted by their noise that he couldn't even concentrate on his training. So he said, "Alright, stop arguing, okay? Don't forget the mission our teacher gave us this time. We have to defeat the Silver Moon Wolf King by the end of our outing. Can we do it with our current strength?"

Lin Yan pouted and said, "Xiao Yan is so powerful now, it's not necessarily that we can't beat him."

Liu Qing smiled and said, "That's right, Xiao Yan can even fight against a Dou Wang, he can definitely defeat the Silver Moon Wolf King."

"Xiao Yan has indeed reached the level, but we haven't made any progress yet, so we should just practice honestly. We can't come out here and not make any progress at all." Lin Xiuya said while sighing.

He is under a lot of pressure now. After all, this time Lin Xiuya plans to challenge the second-ranked master on the strong list after he returns, in order to avenge his previous shame and win the title of second-ranked master on the strong list.

However, his current strength is far from enough, so Lin Xiuya is still quite anxious.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Who said there are no tasks assigned to us? Elder Yun has already told me that tomorrow's task is to start going back and hunt two fourth-level monsters every day. However, there is no time limit this time. You can walk for a while and practice for a while."

Hearing that the training content was repeated again, Liu Qing and Lin Yan were a little disappointed, but Lin Xiuya was very happy to accept it because he knew that this training method was the most effective.

However, they didn't have to rush this time, which made the three of them feel relieved. This meant that they could practice while walking.

However, Lin Yan only just realized what Xiao Yan had said to them, so he asked, "Aren't you going with us?"

Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya also looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to explain, "Elder Yun and I have some things to deal with here, so you can go back first."

Xiao Yan's explanation was a bit forced, but fortunately the three of them didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Xiuya only asked: "When are we leaving?"

Xiao Yan threw a storage ring to Lin Xiuya, which was filled with elixirs for healing and assisting in cultivation.

Basically, they are all of the fourth grade, which is all the elixirs that Xiao Yan has refined in this period of time.

"Tomorrow morning, you will leave the city. But you must change into ordinary clothes and line up to leave through the main gate."

Lin Xiuya felt something was wrong when he heard what Xiao Yan said. Why was he so cautious?

Xiao Yan saw Lin Xiuya's concerns and said, "Haha, it's mainly because of the unpleasantness that happened at the city gate today. We're worried that someone might retaliate against us. When we go out, especially in places like this, we have to be more careful."

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's reason was perfect and they didn't feel anything was wrong.

So he listened to what Xiao Yan said and lined up at the city gate early the next morning.

Because the auction was just getting busy, not many people were leaving the city, so the three of them waited in line for about a day before finally leaving the city.

For their safety, Xiao Yan waited at the city gate for a whole day, and only went back after they had completely left.

However, Xiao Yan did not attend the auction that day, which made people from all major forces rack their brains, but they could not figure out where Xiao Yan had gone.

Mo Ya even ordered everyone to search for news about the Xiao Clan. Hai Lao answered questions no less than a hundred times a day. After all, Xiao Yan was now the leader of the Xiao Clan.

So many pairs of eyes were staring at him, but he suddenly disappeared. I don’t know what he was doing.

That's why everyone was so nervous, but after investigating for a whole day, they didn't find anything strange about the Xiao Clan.

Hu Yan also felt relieved and told Mo Ya not to be nervous.

After all, the leader of the Xiao Clan is rather mysterious, and he might only show this side and then disappear again.

Some people even speculated that Xiao Yan was not the leader of the Xiao Clan at all, but was just someone hired by the Xiao Clan to deceive everyone.

To create the illusion that there is actually a more powerful force behind the Xiao Clan and enhance his own status.

However, there are different opinions. Because Xiao Yan did not attend, the second auction was not very popular.

Instead, the market was unusually cold, and even several items were not sold. This made Yuan Yi quite worried, after all, it was all something that had been discussed beforehand.

If the item is not sold, or if it does not reach the specified price, Yuan Yi will have to pay compensation.

Sometimes not only do you lose money, but you also damage the reputation of the auction.

So that night, Yuan Yi personally went to Hai Lao's residence to find out the news.

"Lord Ice Emperor, please don't keep me in suspense. The Sect Master didn't show up today, and that's why no one is in the mood to watch the auction." Yuan Yi said with some distress.

Hai Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That shows these people have ulterior motives. They didn't come here simply for the auction, but they have a guilty conscience."

When Yuan Yi heard Hai Lao say this, he really didn't know how to respond.

"Lord Ice Emperor, I just want to ask if the Sect Master can still attend the final auction tomorrow? After all, you know that we in the Black Horn Territory are polite to each other on the surface, but we are wary of each other behind the scenes."

Yuan Yi had made his words very clear, and Hai Lao naturally knew what he meant. Although Xiao Yan only had the strength of a Dou Ling, his whereabouts were still frightening in everyone's impression.

"I can't answer this question for you, and don't even think about getting any information out of me." Hai Lao said indifferently, making Yuan Yi a little flustered.

He did come this time with some intention of probing into something, but Yuan Yi quickly calmed down.

"Lord Ice Emperor, you misunderstood. If the Sect Master doesn't come, I'm afraid we'll miss this last good thing. I just wanted to remind you."
