Chapter 8: The Incompetent Xiao Yan
outside the house.

After breaking the weak magic core energy barrier, Xiao Xun'er slowly put down her hand, and the golden flame spikes on her fingertips gradually retracted.

She lowered her head and glanced at the ground not far away, where a maid wrapped only in a thin bath veil was lying there with her face facing the mud.

The maid's breathing was weak and not rapid, and it was obvious that she was in a coma.

However, the maid was clearly lying unconscious on the bed in the inner room. Why did it look like she was thrown out?
Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly, feeling a little doubtful, but she did not come here to check on this irrelevant maid. But she was a kind-hearted girl after all. Since she had seen it, there was no need to pretend not to see it. She was innocent. If she was allowed to lie alone outside for a whole night, with her ordinary physique, she would catch a cold at best, or even a serious illness and die.

He casually took out a nondescript fur cloak from his ring and covered the maid with it.

Get this done.

Xiao Xun'er then turned her gaze back to the window pane.

At this moment, the window pane was tightly closed, and it was closed from the inside. At this moment, perhaps the person inside had already known that someone had arrived, and with a click, the window pane slowly opened.

next moment.

There was a sound coming from inside the house.

"But we have a visitor, please come inside and chat!"

outside.

Xiao Xun'er's lips curled slightly when she heard the voice. She had broken the small magic core energy barrier. She didn't believe that the guy inside didn't know that she had bad intentions. Moreover, from the fact that the other party opened the window pane instead of letting her enter through the door, it could be seen that the other party had obviously guessed that she was the one who entered through the window pane, seriously injured him, and then exited through the window pane.

"It seems that this person is really as the old man said, not as bad as he was originally seen? However, no matter what kind of person you are, as long as you insult Brother Xiao Yan, I will not allow you to live in this world anymore!"

A chill was slowly brewing on her delicate face. Xiao Xun'er leaned forward slightly, took light lotus steps, and leaped forward. With another step, her pretty figure was already above the window sill.

However, as soon as Xiao Xun'er jumped into the house, she frowned at the "smoky and foul" environment inside.

As soon as she entered the house, she was caught off guard by a breath of secondhand smoke. Xiao Xun'er's slightly improved impression of the guy in front of her suddenly returned to her original state.

"This man is really hopeless! In the words of Brother Xiao Yan, people like him are wasting air and polluting the environment when they live in this world. If that's the case, then just kill him. I hesitated just now!"

Choked by the smoke in the room and coughing twice, Xiao Xun'er became more determined to kill Liu Xi.

In fact, looking back on the original novel, the number of people killed by Xiao Xun'er personally was really few and far between, one could even say that they could be counted on one's fingers, and Liu Xi was probably the "first blood" in her life!
The first time I killed someone in my life!

"Miss Xun'er, I am so sorry. I know that the current environment of my humble house is somewhat shabby. It is against the etiquette to entertain you in such a place. But you and I are both sensible people. You came to my house for the second time, and you must have heard that I am not dead, so you came back to stab me again. Since you came to take my life, if you have bad intentions, then these details are actually not that important!"

Liu Xi stood in front of the bed and spoke these words in a rare literary manner.

"Huh? Your strength? You have actually reached the Grand Fighter level? And your previous injuries are almost healed?" Xiao Xun'er's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Liu Xi. In addition to being surprised, her expression gradually became solemn.

"Hehe! I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Miss Xun'er. I'd like to let you know that my current strength is that of a seven-star master fighter! Although I may not be your opponent, I think I can still fight you a few moves! It's impossible for you to seriously injure me as easily as before! You are not the only one in this world who possesses the 'secret method'!"

Liu Xi's expression finally stopped being serious and tense. He opened his mouth slightly and smiled stiffly.

He revealed his strength and said these words, of course, not because he had used a Seven-Star Grand Fighter One-Day Experience Card and suddenly became inflated and stupid, but because there was really nothing else to say except these words. If he didn't want to fight right away and then be defeated as expected and then killed, he should just talk nonsense honestly and delay time!

Yes!

He is really no match for Xiao Xun'er!
It's not that he is belittling himself, but he knows himself well. Right now, he only has the realm of a seven-star great fighter. As for the real strength he can exert, he can probably only bully fighters and fighters?

There's no way, since my original body was an alchemist.
Not very good at fighting!

It seems that the fighting skills he knows are only two high-level yellow-grade ones, and a low-level black-grade close combat skill called "Inch of Light" that he can barely show off?
Other than that, nothing else!

Moreover, he remembered that even the "Inch of Light" seemed not to be practiced well by his original body?

How could he fight against Xiao Xun'er, who came from one of the eight ancient clans and used secret techniques?

He now claims to be a great fighting master, but he may not even be able to do the most basic thing of a great fighting master, which is to separate his fighting spirit from his body and transform it into armor. Is he going to serve his food?
Even though he is smiling in front of Xiao Xun'er and seems very relaxed, he is actually very panicked and looks fierce but is actually a coward.

But he knew that although Xiao Xun'er's strength was apparently improved by secret techniques, she was actually just using the power of the secret techniques to bring out a little of the power of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, which was ranked fourth on the Strange Fire List and was originally sealed in her body!
Even this little bit is enough to allow Xiao Xun'er, who is currently only at the level of a fighter, to crush all the strong people below the level of a fighter.

Therefore, Liu Xi, who knew all the details, had no intention of actually fighting with Xiao Xun'er at this moment. If he did not think that kneeling down and begging for mercy might kill him faster than surrendering, he might have fallen to his knees with a thud the moment Xiao Xun'er entered the room.

It seems that, although kneeling down to the goddess is shameful, for the sake of one's own life, one can actually... accept it?
The only thing he could do now was to delay time as much as possible and wait for that bastard Xiao Yan, who leaked the news that he was not dead to Xiao Xun'er, to arrive!

As for why he was so sure that it was Xiao Yan who leaked the information, this seemed to need no explanation.

After all, there were only a few people present at the time, and he was familiar with the original novel and knew that when Xiao Yan went out, he would most likely meet Xiao Xun'er waiting outside...

"I can only say that you are ignorant and fearless. A seven-star master may be a top-notch warrior in Wutan City, but outside of Wutan City, in any first-tier city that is a bit stronger, with your strength, you won't even make a ripple!"

Xiao Xun'er opened and closed her red lips and spoke in a cold voice.

As she finished speaking, a faint golden glow appeared in her autumn-water eyes. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the golden glow was actually a cluster of swaying and dancing golden flames.

In front of the couch, Liu Xi certainly agreed with what Xiao Xun'er said, but at this moment he would not show any agreement on the surface, because this was not in line with the "personality" he was trying hard to maintain this time. On the contrary, he had to show that he disdained her words.

however.

Just when he wanted to take the opportunity to say a few brainless and harsh words to delay time, he felt the soles of his feet getting slightly cold.

At this point, even if he was unwilling, he had to realize clearly that his strategy of delaying time had come to an end.

Because, opposite him, the aura of the girl in the noble golden dress began to rise steadily after a hint of golden light appeared in his eyes!

If his aura had been maintained at the middle level of a Grand Fighter before, then at this moment, after a few breaths, his aura had become as strong as that of a peak Grand Fighter.

Moreover, judging from the rising pace, it seems that it is not far from reaching the level of Dou Ling!

Oh my goodness, maybe it's because he now has the empty title of a seven-star master, so in order to be safe, he has to use a butcher knife to crack a nut?
At this time, Liu Xi actually wanted to tell Xiao Xun'er that there was no need to go through so much trouble. With her previous strength, he could not even take a few moves.

By the way, why hasn’t that damn Xiao Yan come yet? Could it be that he didn’t see that his wife had made a surprise attack and came back again?

But even if Xiao Yan didn't notice it, Yao Lao, as an old man in the martial arts world, wouldn't be so bad? Or, Yao Lao saw it, but deliberately didn't tell Xiao Yan?

When he thought of this possibility, beads of sweat gradually emerged from the pores on Liu Xi's forehead. His hands, which had been relatively steady under his robe, finally began to tremble again and again.

-

Before half a stick of incense.

Outside the Gallet family.

On top of a low house across the street.

A man in a black robe stood there, his clothes rustling in the night wind.

……

Under the black robe, Xiao Yan’s handsome face was full of confusion.

"No! Teacher, I still have to go. If I continue to hesitate, I'm afraid Liu Xi will really die this time!"

"Haha, you seem to be very concerned about Liu Xi now, but I have to remind you that when we go there, all the secrets you wanted to cover up and hide in front of that girl tonight and even before, including the form of my soul body attached to you, will be exposed!" Yao Lao said calmly.

"What? Is it that serious?" Xiao Yan widened his eyes, somewhat in disbelief.

"What? Do you think that girl is stupid? During her time at the Xiao family, and even during our recent contact, she has been testing you all the time. You should never underestimate a woman's wisdom, and a woman's curiosity!" Yao Lao said patiently.

"But……"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan hesitated to speak.

What he actually wanted to say was that Liu Xi was of extraordinary significance to him now. However, this was only their one encounter after all. If he behaved too abnormally in front of Yao Lao again, Yao Lao would inevitably think too much.

After all, his previous change in attitude towards Liu Xi was already very puzzling.

"So, are you still determined to go there?" asked Yao Lao.

"Is it too late to go there now?"

Xiao Yan said weakly.

He now realized that Yao Lao himself did not want him to go. Thinking back now, when he was about to chase after her and stop Xun'er at the beginning, Yao Lao's appropriate words made him hesitate and conflicted. It seemed that he had an intention to prevent him from going.

In fact, this is also human nature. Given Yao Lao’s current spiritual state, it is natural that the fewer people who know about it, the better. Otherwise, it will increase the complexity.

Thinking about it now, Yao Lao's move might also have been intended to use Xun'er to deal with Liu Xi, who already knew of his existence.

Perhaps, when Xun'er was still here just now, she deliberately mentioned the news that Liu Xi was not dead yet?

When they were in Liu Xi's room, his attitude towards Liu Xi suddenly changed, and Yao Lao naturally noticed it. The reason why he didn't kill Liu Xi himself at that time was probably to avoid creating a rift between them as master and disciple. However, using Xun'er's hand implicitly was different, as it could leave him speechless.

He shouldn't have asked his teacher for advice from the very beginning!
Seeing his beloved disciple in a bad mood, Yao Lao's soul body broke away from the ring directly, floating in the air like a ghost, facing Xiao Yan and said directly:

"Judging from the girl's decisive actions, it's too late to go there now, but we definitely made it in time just now!"

Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Lao and remained silent.

No one could understand his feelings. He had been in this world for sixteen years, and this year was his seventeenth year. He finally met a fellow countryman who was also from the Blue Water Planet!
No one can understand that kind of excitement!

The kind of closeness that you subconsciously feel in the depths of your soul when you find out that the other person comes from the same place and can relate to the same thing!

I'm afraid no one in this world can understand this anymore?

The only person who understood is probably dead at Xun'er's hands now.

However, Xiao Yan did not blame his teacher. Perhaps if he were Yao Lao, he would do the same?

As a human being, everyone has selfish desires!
This is human nature!
"I do have some selfish motives in this matter, but I want you to have your own opinions. You may not realize that you have been too dependent on me in the past year. This is not a good sign. A truly strong person must have his own persistence and opinions! Without these two things, no matter how strong your cultivation talent is, you can't reach the top of this Douqi Continent!

As for Liu Xi, you don't have to be too depressed. That guy has been giving me a feeling of being hard to figure out tonight. I think he must be a really extraordinary guy. If that little girl turns back, she may not be able to take his life!"

After hearing what Yao Lao said, although he knew that his teacher might just be comforting him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of how Liu Xi always looked calm and composed in that room when facing him and Yao Lao.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt much better.

"Teacher, let's go back!"

"Oh? Don't wait any longer. Maybe the result is already out."

"No need for that. I believe that Liu Xi won't die so easily!" Xiao Yan spoke word by word.

Because we all come from that blue planet… he added in his mind.

"That's fine. We'll know the result tomorrow. It's just a matter of sooner or later!"
