"How am I shameless? If I hadn't caught you, you'd probably be lying on the ground already. Wouldn't that have been even more embarrassing?"

Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly at the girl's accusations, knowing he had never intended to take advantage of her.

"you……"

The girl wanted to argue, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it made sense, so she didn't say anything in the end.

"Hehe, it seems that Miss is quite popular, making new friends in Wutan City so quickly."

Just as the two were bickering, an old man slowly appeared. The old man was incredibly powerful, and even Xiao Yan felt a slight pressure from him.

Xiao Yan had only ever felt this kind of aura from his own father. Clearly, the other party was a Great Dou Master!

A genius young fighter was accompanied by a Grand Master, who must be a high-ranking disciple of the Yunlan Sect.

"Old Ge, where did you go just now? Do you know this guy...?"

The girl frowned, wanting to complain, but when she thought about being held in his arms earlier, she felt both ashamed and angry, and couldn't say a word.

"Oh? What did this boy do to you?"

Ge Ye smiled slightly. In fact, he had already seen through everything, but he pretended not to know.

The reason he left for a while was because he noticed that a martial arts master from the photography studio was lurking there.

Ge Ye immediately realized that the other party was after her young lady, since although her young lady was exceptionally talented, she was also proud.

Moreover, given the fierce competition and infighting among the various families, it was to be expected that someone would want to get rid of the young lady.

The photographer from the photo studio was intercepted by him. After exchanging a blow, the opponent was seriously injured and fled.

After returning, this is how I am now.

"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. We have important things to do today and don't have time to waste here."

This time, she secretly came to Wutan City without telling her family. If her grandfather found out, he would definitely be furious.

"snort."

The girl glared at Xiao Yan one last time, and then disappeared from Xiao Yan's sight along with the old man.

Xiao Yan glanced at the corpses around him and lost all interest in continuing his stroll.

……

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're sneaking out to play without taking Xun'er with you, aren't you? I'm going to be angry!"

As soon as Xiao Yan returned to the Xiao family, Xiao Xun'er blocked him at the door right on time.

Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed and chuckled, "Oh dear, nothing escapes Xun'er's discerning eyes."

Then Xiao Yan took out the Reflection Pearl and gave it to Xiao Xun'er.

"Xun'er, your birthday is coming up soon. I realized I haven't given you any gifts yet, so I went to Wutan City to take a stroll. I'm giving you these beads."

As for the unpleasant things that happened in Wutan City, Xiao Yan did not mention them, as he did not want to spoil Xun'er's mood.

"What is this?"

Xun'er took the Reflection Bead with a look of surprise and played with it in her hand.

"This is a Reflection Pearl. As long as you inject battle qi, it will reveal that person's appearance."

After speaking, Xiao Yan demonstrated by injecting his Dou Qi into the white bead, and the image of the Dou Qi's owner appeared on it.

Xiao Xun'er followed Xiao Yan's example and infused her own Dou Qi into it. Soon, Xun'er's image appeared on it.

"Now I understand why these beads are a pair. In that case, I'll accept the bead with Brother Xiao Yan's bead, and I'll give the bead with Xun'er's bead to Brother Xiao Yan."

Xiao Xun'er truly loved this gift; with it, she could see her Xiao Yan brother anytime.

"Alright, Xun'er, I have some important things to do, so I won't stay with you any longer."

Xiao Xun'er nodded obediently: "Go ahead, Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er is fine."

Xun'er watched Xiao Yan leave with a smile on her face, but after he left, her expression immediately turned gloomy and cold.

"Master Ling, have you found out who's targeting Brother Xiao Yan?"

The shadow behind Xiao Xun'er twisted, and an old man descended from it.

The old man's aura was terrifying, far surpassing anyone in Wutan City, and even in the entire Gama Empire, few could compare to him.

However, even such a person was still just a servant in front of Xiao Xun'er.

"Miss, the assassins were the heads of the two major families in Utan City, the Jia Lie family and the Aoba family. The assassins they hired came from the photo studio, and I have already killed them."

Hearing Ling Ying's reply, Xiao Xun'er's gloomy expression softened slightly.

"These photo studios, these rats in the gutter, have been living comfortably for too long. Find their headquarters, and I'll let them know that some people are not to be trifled with!"

The photography studio wielded immense power, having even assassinated Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts, but in the face of Xiao Xun'er's family, it was nothing more than a rat.

"Yes, Miss. What about the Jia Lie family and the Oba family? With just a word from you, Miss, these two families will vanish from Utan City by tomorrow morning."

However, Xiao Xun'er surprisingly showed no intention of taking action against the Jia Lie family and the Aoba family.

"You don't need to get involved in the Wutan City matter. They're just two bugs; Brother Xiao Yan can handle them on his own."

Ling Shi never interfered with Xiao Xun'er's plans; as her servant, he only needed to carry them out.

"Alright, there's nothing more for you to do here for now. You may leave."

Xiao Xun'er waved her hand, signaling Ling Ying to step back.

"Yes, Miss. But before I leave, this old servant would like to ask a question. Miss is about to be promoted to Fighter. According to the clan leader, regardless of whether Miss has any news about the ancient jade, she must return to the clan at that time."

Upon hearing Ling Ying's words, Xiao Xun'er's expression changed again. Over the years, she had almost never taken the initiative to cultivate.

They might even suppress the growth of their fighting spirit in order to delay their advancement to the Dou Zhe realm.

Even so, after ten years of delay, we finally have to take that step.

Xiao Xun'er was also very clear that she could only achieve her best growth within the family.

After all, if one is not strong enough, one will have no say in the family and will not be able to protect that person.

"I understand. There's still some time left, so let me spend a little more time with Brother Xiao Yan."

Xiao Xun'er was originally terrified of this day, but after hearing what Xiao Yan had said to her a few days ago, that fear vanished.

After all, Brother Xiao Yan had never lied to him.

Even without this bloodline, Xiao Yan would definitely be able to catch up with me.

"By the way, Master Ling, I would like to ask you for a favor. Please prepare a fire-type cultivation technique of Earth Rank for me. I would like to give Brother Xiao Yan a gift before I leave. Also, this is a personal request of mine, so please do not tell anyone in the family about it."

The relationship between Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying is that of mistress and servant, but also has a bit of an elder-junior relationship.

After all, Ling Ying had been secretly protecting Xiao Xun'er since she was four years old. Now, ten years have passed, and it can be said that Master Ling has watched Xiao Xun'er grow up.

"I understand, Miss. I will take care of it."

After saying that, Ling Ying's figure vanished into thin air, as if she had never existed.
