Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

The matter of Nalan Yanran was just a side story. Even if Xiao Yan and she were engaged, it was still unknown when they would actually get married.

Before leaving, Ge Ye handed a letter of recommendation to Xiao Zhan.

"Clan Chief Xiao, this is a letter of recommendation from my Yunlan Sect. It was personally written by Elder Yun Ling of my Yunlan Sect. If young friend Xiao Yan is interested in joining my Yunlan Sect, he can use this letter of recommendation to skip the sect entrance examination and join my Yunlan Sect."

This was the other fundamental reason why Ge Ye accompanied Nalan Yanran to the Xiao family. His actions were approved by the Grand Elder, and his goal was to win over Xiao Yan.

A letter of recommendation from the Yunlan Sect? And it was written by the Grand Elder himself.

It should be noted that Yun Ling's cultivation level is at the peak of the Dou Wang realm, and he is second only to the sect leader Yun Yun in the entire Yunlan Sect.

Being able to obtain his letter of recommendation basically means that joining the Yunlan Sect will lead to a meteoric rise in one's career.

In the past, Xiao Zhan would have accepted it with great joy.

However, given Xiao Yan's current cultivation level and talent, joining the Yunlan Sect might actually be a burden.

After all, once you join a sect, you will be subject to its restrictions, and every action you take will represent the sect's attitude.

Xiao Zhan would prefer Xiao Yan to join Canaan Academy rather than Yunlan Sect.

As an academic institution, Canaan College is more relaxed, and graduates are not required to perform college tasks.

Canaan Academy's system of rewarding students with various academy tasks in exchange for massive resources is a win-win model.

Furthermore, even after graduation, many prominent figures who were once graduates of Canaan Academy are willing to lend a helping hand to the academy out of their affection for the students.

The students of Canaan Academy were once spread all over the world, and its appeal was incomparable to that of Yunlan Sect.

Therefore, joining Canaan Academy seems to be a more promising option than joining Yunlan Sect.

"Thank you for your kindness, Professor Ge. I will accept this letter of recommendation for now."

Xiao Yan stepped forward and put away the letter of recommendation. As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options. Going to the Yunlan Sect wasn't a bad choice, and keeping the letter of recommendation didn't mean he had to go.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had accepted the letter of recommendation, Ge Ye nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, I will return to Yunlan Sect to report. Farewell, everyone, no need to see me off."

"Yan'er, are you really going to Canaan Academy?"

Xiao Zhan and several elders all looked at Xiao Yan, but none of them would interfere with Xiao Yan's choice.

"Let's keep it for now. I'm still young, and I can choose whenever I want."

Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry. He hadn't even passed his coming-of-age ceremony yet, so why rush to join a sect?

"Alright, it's good that you have your own plans. Now let's get back to the previous question: how do we deal with the Garrett and Obama families?"

Xiao Yan had actually thought this through long ago, which is why he chose to compete with Nalan Yanran here.

"I do have a plan that can lure those two old thieves into a trap." Xiao Yan's lips curled up. "Father, from now on, I want you to spread the word that I was seriously injured in my battle with Nalan Yanran and am about to die. Then, hold my funeral in two weeks."

"funeral?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone present wore a strange expression.

"That's right, it was the funeral. All the fighters who participated in the ambush of me have been wiped out. Even the Jia Lie family has no way of knowing the details of what happened back then."

The news of my duel with Nalan Yanran was known only to a few people present.

I need my family to fabricate a story that I died from severe injuries, and then use information from the mole.

"To gain the trust of those two old thieves, I will then invite the major families of Wutan City to the Xiao family to offer their condolences."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the elders immediately understood his meaning: he was planning a trap!

"A mole? What does that mean?"

Everyone present was shocked, never expecting that the Xiao family had other powerful figures hidden among them.

"That's right. I stayed in the Xiao family for three years without leaving. How come I was ambushed as soon as I left the family? Someone must have leaked my whereabouts."

No sooner had Xiao Yan finished speaking than Elder Xiao Lie couldn't hold back any longer: "This is outrageous! I will immediately investigate the entire clan and find the traitor!"

"Elder, there's no need to be impatient. That traitor is still useful. Let him live a little longer."

After all, he still needed to inform the other two major families in advance that he was seriously injured.

"Even if we set a trap, those two old bastards are too cunning to fall for it so easily."

Xiao Yan then smiled and said, "Since they are willing to go to such lengths to kill me, they won't be at ease until they see me really die."

After all, people subconsciously believe what they want to believe. Given the choice between me living and me dying from severe injuries, they would definitely prefer to believe the latter.

In addition, I need my father to cooperate with me in staging a play to create the impression that you are heartbroken and ill from missing someone. After all, as long as you are here, they will not dare to come to my Xiao family for a banquet.

Finally, the place for my funeral should not be the Xiao family's residence. It would be best to choose the best funeral team in Wutan City and make a big fuss about it.

At the same time, we wanted to avoid the other party worrying that we had set up an ambush at the Xiao family's residence.

Given these points, even if they still have doubts, they will still be more willing to believe the news that I am dead and you are ill.

Once they lose a Grand Master, the Jia Lie family and the Oba family will surely fall apart.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, the entire Xiao family stared at him in disbelief.

Is this still Xiao Yan? When did he become so cunning?

"Finally, and most importantly, how to complete the kill operation."

First of all, my Xiao family has a total of three Great Dou Masters: my father is a five-star Great Dou Master, my eldest elder is a three-star Great Dou Master, and my second elder is a two-star Great Dou Master.

The Jialie family has a patriarch, the three-star Grand Master Jialiebi, and two one-star Grand Masters, Jialiehu and Jialiexiu. The Oba family is slightly weaker, with only a patriarch, the three-star Grand Master Obapa, and his younger brother, the one-star Grand Master Obarui.

In this way, our family has a total of three Grand Dou Masters, while the target is five Grand Dou Masters. If the other side attends the banquet with all of them, it will be very difficult for us to fight them head-on.

Therefore, we need to create an occasion in advance that prevents the other Grand Masters from participating. At the same time, just in case, we will spend 300,000 gold coins to hire a three-star Grand Master from the photo studio to assist in the assassination.

"Once a four-on-two situation is established, Galebi and Obapa are doomed!"

This was Xiao Yan's entire plan. Due to the time constraints, some details were not fully considered.

After all, the premise of this plan is that the other party really has to attend this trap, and it takes advantage of the other party's obsessive psychology.

If the other party isn't obsessed enough, then my plan might really not succeed.

However, even if the other party doesn't participate, Xiao Yan still has a backup plan.

Then he will publicly present the "evidence" that the two major families assassinated him, so that the Xiao family can have a legitimate reason to declare war on the other two families.

However, that would definitely result in significant losses for both sides, and Xiao Yan would not want to go down that path unless absolutely necessary.
