Chapter 135 Mu Zhan: A real man is a man who can bend and stretch. If you don’t call me brother now, you won’t have a chance in the future
As expected, Xiao Yan still won the second round of the assessment without any danger. Got off.
After burning the first piece of medicinal materials, Xiao Yan noticed the problem of Hoosu Zhi, and then he was astonished by his skills. He directly refined and fused eight kinds of medicinal materials at the same time, and he just beat the gray-robed man. In front of him, the elixir was refined.
After seeing Xiao Yan’s last-minute method of collecting pills, Yao Lao also let out an indescribable emotion.
This little guy is indeed a genius at refining medicine!
As for Xiao Yuan, although he had never been exposed to such a method of collecting pills, he was equally excited.
This kind of turning the tide at the conference made me feel very passionate when I read the novel. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I still feel passionate.
My brother Xiao Yan has the appearance of fighting an emperor!
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan looked at Fa Ma who was aside. Just now, he was frightened and angry because of Xiao Yan's bold way of collecting pills, and he slapped the railing to pieces.
Now, Fa Ma's face seemed to have changed, and his face was full of joy.
The changes before and after are really interesting.
“Okay!”
Afterwards, Xiao Yuan took the lead in cheering.
After all, he is his younger brother. If he doesn’t praise himself, how can he let others praise him?
A trace of wonder flashed across Yafei's eyes. Judging from the previous performance of Fa Ma and other members of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan's actions just now were undoubtedly extremely risky.
But Ya Fei is very accurate in judging people. Xiao Yan may be slightly inferior to Xiao Yuan in terms of calmness, but he is by no means a reckless person.
Daring to do that means that you have enough confidence.
Now that he and Xiao Yuan are together, Xiao Yan can be regarded as his brother-in-law in the future. It can be said that these two brothers will definitely stand at the top of the Gama Empire, or even the top of the mainland.
As a member of Xiao Yuan, she naturally does not want to be just the patriarch of a family in the Jiama Empire.
Whether it is from the perspective of relatives or family interests, winning over Xiao Yan is an important matter.
Although Xiao Yan usually obeys Xiao Yuan's words, it is difficult for Xiao Yuan to communicate with Xiao Yan on this kind of matter. The sincerity that the family should have must still be there!
Since they are brothers, naturally they cannot let their brothers suffer!
As for every loss the family suffers now, it will be repaid multiple times in the future.
She believes in Xiao Yuan and also believes in her own vision of people!
So, she subconsciously turned her attention to Hai Bodong and Miter Tengshan, the two family talkmakers.
But he found that the two elders looked at each other meaningfully, and they obviously had the same idea.
If the Miter family had not been able to pick out a female clansman as outstanding as Ya Fei, I am afraid they would have asked Ya Fei and Xiao Yuan to introduce it to Xiao Yan.
The eldest princess Yaoye, who was sitting not far away, was also thoughtful. The two brothers of the Xiao family were indeed extraordinary. One of them was ridiculously strong in combat power. Even the strongest Dou Huang The great-great-grandfather of the two brothers will also suffer losses, and the other one is extremely outstanding in the art of alchemy. If these two brothers work together, I am afraid that the Xiao family will definitely have a place in the future Jiama Empire.
You must have a good relationship with them!
On the other side, Nalan Yanran was also excited and even a little moved by Xiao Yan's performance, but she also knew that Xiao Yan was not interested in her, the "sister-in-law-to-be" who came to break off the engagement.
She couldn't help but have a headache when she thought about this.
Why can’t the talents of these two brothers be restored earlier!
When the second round of assessment was completely over, the sky had gradually darkened, and the crescent moon slowly emerged from the horizon, illuminating the brightly lit imperial capital.
Looking at those people who failed to pass the assessment and looked downcast, Fa Ma’s eyes did not waver at all, and he said lightly:
“Everyone, today’s conference will end here. , please have a good night's rest. Tomorrow is the last round of our conference, and it is also an important round that determines the championship. Therefore, please do not fail to attend due to various things, otherwise, That will be a lifelong regret.”
Hearing Fa Ma announce that today's assessment was over, everyone in the square, including Xiao Yan, breathed a long sigh of relief. After these two rounds of assessment, it was really tiring.
Putting the medicine cauldron back into the ring, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and glanced. After Fa Ma finished speaking, the gray-robed boy packed his things and walked out of the square. When leaving, he did not forget to cast a cold look at Xiao Yan.
Looking at the back of the gray-robed boy slowly walking out of the square, Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead, packed up his things, and squeezed out of the square along with the crowd of contestants.
After leaving the square, Xiao Yan raised his head and took a deep breath of fresh air. His tense spirit relaxed a little. He looked around at the young people who came out of the auditorium and stared at him with bright eyes. The girl shook her head with a wry smile. Just as she was about to walk away, she saw Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei coming hand in hand.
“Brother, sister-in-law.”
Although Ya Fei has not yet met her, Xiao Yan is very sensible and has already changed his mind.
"You did a good job, but you still suffered some losses in the second round of the competition just now. After the competition is completely over tomorrow, I will discuss the problems that arose in the process with you."
< br>Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. Even after he realized it, Yao Lao must have meant it. He immediately nodded and said, "Well, okay!"
"Let's go. , I know you want to rest for a while, but you can’t rest yet. We both have other things to do.”
Xiao Yuan smiled and walked towards the east gate of the Imperial City with Xiao Yan. go.
"Is there anything else to do?"
Xiao Yan blinked in confusion upon hearing this, but still followed.
Third brother must have his own reasons for doing things.
“Hey, you’ll find out when you get there.”
Xiao Yuan smiled mysteriously when he heard this and gave it up.
When Xiao Yuan and the others arrived at the east gate of the imperial capital, they found a somewhat familiar person standing guard here.
When he saw the trio approaching, his expression became obviously embarrassed, but he still walked over bravely.
"Mu Zhan? Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuan asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"Ahem, isn't this the old man who sent me to the door? As for why, Brother Xiao should be able to guess it, right?"
Mu Zhan scratched his head and said with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Immediately afterwards, obviously not wanting to continue talking about this topic, Mu Zhan continued: "Brother Xiao, why do you have time to come to the city gate?"
"Oh, come to pick me up." Xiao. Yuan said with a smile and a nod.
“Then don’t stand there down here, come on, go up to the tower, our Mu family still has some respect!”
After Mu Zhan said this, he invited with enthusiasm.
This appearance surprised Xiao Yan and Yafei.
I didn’t expect this unruly guy to have such a side.
Xiao Yuan can guess a little about this.
Obviously, Mu Chen gave Mu Zhan some advice in private. As for the specific content, he didn't know, but the result was very good for him.
"Then I won't be polite to you."
Xiao Yuan nodded and followed Mu Zhan up the tower.
"Ahem, Brother Xiao, I heard that you had a sparring match with Jia Lao before, and even he suffered a loss at your hands?"
Mu Zhan asked in a low voice as he walked up the steps. He said, with a sparkle in his eyes.
“Hey, don’t listen to their nonsense, it’s Jia Lao who is letting the water go.”
Of course, Xiao Yuan couldn't say that he was so awesome that he cut off Jiaxingtian's beard as a "truth", so he waved his hand modestly and said.
"Hey! Brother Xiao is too humble. The clan elder told me about this. How can it be false? It was indeed me who was reckless to my sister-in-law that day. My sister-in-law is here today and I want to apologize to you. , I, Mu Zhan, am a rough guy, and sometimes I speak out of my mind, but I admire people like Brother Xiao who have real abilities. We don’t know each other even if we don’t fight, haha!”
Mu! Zhan Lan kept his posture very low and apologized to Ya Fei.
"Yes."
Ya Fei was also a little stunned by Mu Zhan's unprecedented move, but she quickly reacted and nodded with a faint smile.
Xiao Yan on the side was noncommittal. This was because the place where Mu Zhan challenged the issue was in the Imperial City, Nalan Mansion, so it was possible to stand here and talk. If it were outside the Imperial City, he was sure that his third brother would be there on the spot. You can scatter this guy's ashes and evaporate him directly, without any trace being investigated.
The third brother is indeed a good person to his own people, but to his enemies, he is definitely like a devil.
Seeing that Ya Fei also nodded, Mu Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he learned about Xiao Yuan's terrifying combat power, he understood the worries of his family leader. With Xiao Yuan's current potential, They are no longer someone the Mu family can afford to offend. If they really push someone into a hurry, they can call Shanghai Bodong on the spot and kill the Mu family!
Not to mention that his own talent is also quite terrifying. According to the current internal evaluation of Xiao Yuan within these families, it will only take five to ten years at most for Xiao Yuan to stand at the pinnacle of the Gama Empire. Such a strong person, their Mu family will never offend!
If you can't afford to offend someone and you still have to show off in front of others, isn't that asking for death?
When it comes to his own life and the survival of his family, Mu Zhan's mind is still online.
Besides, Xiao Yuan is so strong, even if you call him brother, what will happen?
Don’t suffer any loss at all!
If you don’t shout now, you will wait for someone to fight for the throne in the future, but you have no right to get close to him like this!
As a child of a big family, Mu Zhan is naturally very familiar with interpersonal communication, but most people in the imperial capital are not worthy of him.
But in front of Xiao Yuan, he doesn't dare to show off now. If he is really noticed by others, he will be really screwed up.
Besides, what Xiao Yuan said has some truth to it.
“What, this is the place with the widest view of the city gate. Brother Xiao, just wait here, I will You have to go down and guard the door, so I won’t disturb you!”
Seeing that Xiao Yuan and the other three had no intention of chatting with him, Mu Zhan voluntarily left and led his soldiers downstairs.
“These children of big families do have some merits.”
Looking at Mu Zhan's leaving figure, Xiao Yan said lightly.
"Haha, to be able to occupy a place among the three major families in the imperial capital, it is naturally impossible for the Mu family to really cultivate a reckless man. Although Mu Zhan has an impatient temper, he must understand the rules that he should know. "
Ya Fei on the side also nodded and said with a smile.
"Well, and the Mu family has extremely broad connections in the military. After all, our Xiao family is stationed in the Jiama Empire, so it is naturally impossible to kill Mu Zhan in front of everyone. , there will be a series of troubles in the future. We both want to go back to the academy and leave a mess behind. It’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy.”
Xiao Yuan also nodded and smiled. said.
The Mu family is different from the Mo family. The Mo family is just a nouveau riche local overlord from the northeastern provinces. It's just that they have no background and a very bad reputation. If something goes wrong, they will naturally be blamed by everyone. Although Xiao Yuan did not destroy all the Mo family, in fact, without his taking action, the families and forces that had been oppressed by the Mo family in the past would naturally attack them mercilessly.
But the Mu family is a big family after the Miter family. In terms of background, even the Nalan family is inferior. If it weren’t for Nalan Yanran’s worship in the Yunlan Sect, the Nalan family would In fact, it is the one with the weakest foundation among the three major families.
Over the years, the Mu family has accumulated countless connections. These connections are all over the Jia Ma Empire. With the current power of the Xiao family, they cannot easily become enemies.
Besides, because of one Mu Zhan, it is not enough to provoke the entire Mu family.
"Haha, just teach him a lesson. If it is because of such a trivial matter, he will be killed or even annihilated. I will feel uneasy, and it will make me look like a beauty. It’s like a disaster.”
Ya Fei also laughed after hearing this.
Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were showing affection again, Xiao Yan suddenly felt bad, and quickly interrupted, changing the topic: "Brother, we are already here, but you can tell us, what are we going to do here? Who are you waiting for?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan showed a strange smile, looked at Xiao Yan, and said slowly: "No, you are so smart, why haven't you reacted yet?"
Tap tap tap!
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves sounded rhythmically, and several figures on horses slowly entered the line of sight of Xiao Yuan and the others.
"Well, since we are bringing my sister-in-law here, the person we are going to pick up must be someone we all three know. He should be someone from Wutan City. Could it be Master Gu Ni!?"
Xiao Yan analyzed with a serious face.
? ? ?
“Oh, my brother, this is not funny.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head speechlessly, looked at Xiao Yan who was telling a cold joke, and said in a deep voice.
"Pfft! You two brothers are so serious!"
Ya Fei, who was on the side, couldn't help laughing at the conversation between the two brothers. She covered her mouth and chuckled.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other and shook their heads and laughed. Then Xiao Yuan hugged Ya Fei and jumped off the city gate with Xiao Yan.
Outside the city gate, the group of people and horses approached from far away. Although the leader was tired from work, his eyes were quite excited and he showed no sign of fatigue.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at the man and couldn't help but murmured: "Father!"
