Fight to break the sky

After everything was settled, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the cave and sneakily climbed up the steep path to the top of the mountain. After seeing that there was no one around, he relaxed. He took a big step and walked straight towards the family.

He leisurely returned to the family and walked to the front yard, but he saw the three elders passing by him in a hurry. They paused and Xiao Yan was a little confused. Just now he clearly saw the gloomy expressions on the faces of the three people. with anger.

"Who provoked them?" Xiao Yan shook his head in astonishment, and turned around. A girl in green clothes also sprang out from the side path, and then stood in front of him slimly.

Looking at Xun'er who was smiling very cutely in front of him, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. Recalling the question asked by the cave herbalist, his face felt hot. He turned his gaze to the sky with a guilty conscience, pretending to be deep in thought.

Being stunned by Xiao Yan's unusual behavior, Xun'er shook her head inexplicably after a moment, took a step forward, her eyes rolled around Xiao Yan, and a hint of surprise quietly appeared on her delicate little face. Defeated behind him, he leaned forward slightly, keeping their faces only one centimeter apart, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Xiao Yan, have you been promoted to a fighter?"

Xiao Yan was blown away by the warm fragrant wind blowing on his face. He shook his head violently, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and patted the girl in front of him who was almost the same height as himself. With his little head, he said helplessly: "Can't you let me tell you so that you can satisfy my vanity?"

Hearing this, Xun'er's eyes were slightly curved, like a pair of beautiful crescent moons, and she stretched out her white and delicate little hands, and carefully straightened out Xiao Yan's slightly wrinkled clothes as usual.

In the past, Xiao Yan didn't think much of being treated like this by Xun'er, but today, after being exposed by Yao Lao's words, he suddenly felt a little turbulent.

Near the path, tribesmen occasionally passed by, and they couldn't help but look envious when they saw Xun'er, who was taking care of Xiao Yan's clothes like a little daughter-in-law.

Looking down at the delicate little face without any flaws, a strand of black hair fell on the smooth forehead, occasionally blown up by the breeze, revealing a pair of big, watery eyes, which were extremely moving.

Looking at Xun'er blankly, Xiao Yan's breathing suddenly became a little faster, and there was a touch of heat in his eyes.

"Brother Xiao Yan...you, what are you looking at?" After straightening Xiao Yan's clothes, Xun'er finally noticed his fiery eyes, her face turned red, and she said softly.

"Ah? Uh..." After waking up with a start, Xiao Yan's face also turned a little rosy, but fortunately his face was much thicker than Xun'er's. After coughing twice, he said calmly: "It's nothing. I just feel that Xun'er is getting more and more beautiful."

Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er snorted noncommittally, but her red mouth curled up in a happy arc.

"Oh, by the way..." As if he remembered something, Xun'er suddenly focused his attention on Xiao Yan again and said softly: "Since brother Xiao Yan has been promoted to a fighter, he should also learn the fighting qi skills, right? "

His face stiffened, and Xiao Yan nodded sarcastically.

Pressing her slender fingers against her snow-white chin, Xun'er said with a smile, "Can I show Xun'er what level of technique it is?"

"Ahem...the skills...are all external things, that...as long as you practice diligently, aren't they the same at any level?" Xiao Yan laughed dryly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Xun'er's eyes slowly narrowed in a dangerous arc, but the soft voice was still gentle and touching: "Brother Xiao Yan, let Xun'er take a look..."

Looking at Xun'er's persistence, Xiao Yan could only shrug helplessly and stretched out his hand. After a moment, a faint yellow light emerged.

"Brother Xiao Yan, is this what you said about finding a better technique?" Looking at the pale yellow light that seemed to be extinguished at any time, Xun'er's face was slightly ugly, and her tightly pursed rosy mouth showed that The anger in his heart at this time.

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain it.

"You clearly know that if you have advanced skills in the early stage, it will be self-evident for future cultivation, but you still rejected me. , but now you are practicing the lowest level of skills, are you angry with me?" Xun'er opened her eyes wide and stared at Xiao Yan angrily. There were even a few drops of crystal on her long eyelashes, which was so touching. The appearance is very endearing.

Xun'er, who has a gentle and gentle temper, can speak with this attitude. You can imagine how puzzled and angry he is at Xiao Yan's behavior.

Looking at Xun'er who was biting her lip and stubbornly asking for an answer, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said with a low and bitter smile: "We have lived together for more than ten years, don't you still understand me? ? Do you really think I’m the kind of idiot who doesn’t practice high-level skills and instead practices the lowest-level skills?”

"But this skill of yours... is clearly of the lower level of the Huang class, I can feel it." Hearing this, the anger on Xun'er's face relaxed a little, but she still said stubbornly.

"You can't just take everything at face value. It's not convenient for me to tell you the reasons in detail now. In the future, you will know that I am definitely not acting out of anger..." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Really?" Looking at Xiao Yan's sworn look, Xun'er fell silent for a moment before hesitatingly asked again.

"Really, really, absolutely true..." Xiao Yan nodded hurriedly. He was afraid that she would continue to struggle with this issue, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Has something happened to the family recently? Why are the elders so expressionless? Not very good?"

"Well, recently the Jialie family hired a first-grade alchemist from nowhere. Now, they have a healing medicine called "Huichun Powder" in their market. This healing medicine is cheap and high-yield. , very popular with the mercenaries near Wutan City." Xun'er nodded, frowned, and said softly: "Affected by the "Huichun Powder", the flow of people in all the Xiao family's markets has been reduced by nearly half. , and because of the decrease in the flow of people, those merchants in the market also went directly to the market of the Jialie family. In just a few days, the Xiao family has suffered a big economic blow. Uncle Xiao has already been affected by this matter. It’s very frustrating.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded suddenly. No wonder the three elders looked so gloomy...

Touching his nose, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and sneered softly in his heart: "He is just a first-grade alchemist, is it possible that his Jialie family is so defiant?"
