Chapter 193 Entering the Dou Ling
While Yao Wan was practicing, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and then gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"...Can you let me sit here for a while?"
The calm voice spread by itself. Xiao Yan raised his head in confusion and saw Na Na, who was walking slowly. Lan Yanran.
“Miss Qingran?”
"My seat has been taken by her, and I won't be able to practice for a while."
Nalan Yanran crossed her arms and looked at the masked young man in front of her, and said.
“Miss Wan?”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about how she could take the initiative to steal someone else’s seat to practice.
Is it another one of those genius-prone problems of hers?
Xiao Yan was somewhat worried about this.
After all, this is the first time that Miss Wan has looked like this. Xiao Yan is lying to himself if he says he is not worried.
But he can't be of much help. His talents, which are already impressive in the eyes of others, are just insignificant in front of Miss Wan.
Even Miss Wan didn’t feel there was anything wrong with her, so how could he help?
“…It’s not like you don’t know what her temper is like, yet you’re still saying it’s okay.”
Nalan Yanran said a little irritably.
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, he had guessed this.
"In that case, Miss Qingran, please take a rest here for the time being."
Xiao Yan looked at her. Although Yao Wan admitted that she and the beauty in front of her were not sisters, she There was some connection, but he still couldn't help but wonder who the Miss Qingran in front of him was.
But now that Qingran is here, he has no intention of continuing to practice quietly.
"By the way, last time I mentioned to Miss Qingran my experience of meeting Miss Wan. Where is Miss Qingran?"
"Don't you regard me as your sister-in-law now?"
Qingran smiled inexplicably, and that look and smile made Xiao Yan particularly embarrassed.
"Ahem, cough, misunderstanding, all misunderstandings..."
Xiao Yan said with some embarrassment.
"—Hmph."
Nalan Yanran snorted coldly, but she didn't take Xiao Yan's apology to heart.
"...You really want to know?"
"Shouldn't this be said to be a courtesy exchange?"
Xiao Yan asked, Nalan Yanran thought about it, but Indeed.
"Okay then."
Nalan Yanran exhaled a breath, and couldn't help but think about what to say so that Xiao Yan couldn't react.
"The relationship between me and her is quite simple. It was a stupid thing I did in a hot head. At first, I thought she was here to seek revenge."
"Huh?"
Xiao Yan blinked.
"So, when I first saw her, she used a name I had never heard of to treat my family members. I was scared at first..."
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Then, she came to me."
"Although she experienced some small twists and turns, she would teach me when my teacher was not around, and she taught me A lot of things."
"The teacher is not here...?"
Xiao Yan was stunned: "I thought Miss Wan was Miss Qingran's master."
"She did teach me a lot, and she even instilled a lot of principles on how to be a human being. But I became a teacher early, and the teacher accompanied me a lot. Even if the teacher is not as good as her, I can't change because of her." "My own court."
Nalan Yanran shook her head.
“I’m going too far... In short, after I did that thing, because of some personal factors of my own, I thought that what I did was clear-minded and I just made the right choice.”< br>
“And she told me that there is no conflict between right choices and wrong actions.”
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan with complicated eyes, then sighed and said.
She didn't think about expressing her difficulties in front of Xiao Yan, or what the reasons were for doing this. What was right was right, and what was wrong was wrong.
She does not intend to confuse right and wrong. People always have to make up for the stupid things they have done blindly.
“She taught me a lot of things, including martial arts, fighting skills, fighting techniques, ways to deal with enemies... She would even tell me stories when I was exhausted. "
Nalan Yanran said: "To be honest, sometimes I don't know what my life would have been like if I hadn't met her."
"Maybe it would be the same as before. Just stay in your own little world and immerse yourself in the dream of soaring into the sky. ”
"The promise of the sect and the flattery of the family, I have nothing to say about these things for a long time. Even if I had not been chosen by the teacher to become her disciple, I am afraid that I would not be able to decide my own marriage in the future. , can only be forced to marry a stranger he has never known or met. ""Family..."
Xiao Yan murmured something, should he say it or not. , at this point, the words of the beauty in front of him actually entered Xiao Yan's heart.
He had already seen through the ingratiation he had received when he was a genius in the family, the loneliness he felt when he found out that he could no longer practice fighting spirit, the gossip, ridicule and ridicule from other people in the family, and the harshness of the world.
“To put it this way, Miss Qingran’s experience is similar to mine.”
Xiao Yan exhaled, and immediately revealed his past silence, saying: "They are just puppets bound by the so-called family. If it weren't for my father and two brothers who have always supported me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to It's hard to survive those two years."
"The puppet of the family... This is quite appropriate."
Nalan Yanran showed a rare sign of recognition, and then nodded lightly. He said: "Okay, no more words... I have said everything that needs to be said. Are you satisfied now?"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled, shrugged and said, "I didn't expect that."
“Didn’t expect it?”
Nalan Yanran snorted, seemingly disdainfully: "Do you think that for her, you are the only and special one?"
"...That's not necessarily the case."
Xiao Yan subconsciously denied this speculation without thinking about it, but both Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran knew very well that he was just being tough.
Xiao Yan just feels that he may be the most special one in the eyes of Miss Wan, and it is because of Xiao Yan that he met Yao Wan. Not to mention Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan must be the most special one in Yao Wan’s eyes. Different from ordinary people.
It’s just that Nalan Yanran didn’t want to admit it, while Xiao Yan was just being tough in front of others.
"...Sometimes I really don't understand."
After the awkward silence between the two lasted for a moment, Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan's clean face leaking from under the mask he was wearing now. Clean chin and cheeks.
"She chose to help you because she took a fancy to you."
"How did I know this?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but be shaken. Shaking his head: "I guess we can only find out by asking her, right?"
Nalan Yanran looked at him quietly, and then nodded faintly.
It is impossible to just ask her, and even if she does ask, she may not be willing to tell the truth.
It’s useless to ask.
The conversation during the break came to an abrupt end. For this Miss Qingran, Xiao Yan felt that she was more like a companion than a friend. It was just because we were together this time. It’s just about being in contact with yourself.
For Nalan Yanran, all relationships with him will come to an end after the three-year agreement.
Winning or losing with him was no longer important. If she had to find a reason to care about winning or losing, it would only be the promise Yaowan had given her.
Whether it is right or wrong, in the end all disputes between them will end with the three-year agreement.
This is also a relief for her.
In the following time, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran devoted most of their time to cultivation.
In nearly a year, the two made rapid progress.
Xiao Yan's cultivation level was unstoppable. Supported by the almost inexhaustible and huge energy of the surrounding crystals of life, he became a nine-star master in nearly a year without any bottlenecks.
Nalan Yanran was faster. She had a small realm advantage over Xiao Yan and was promoted to Dou Ling before Xiao Yan.
This also spurred Xiao Yan invisibly, making him involuntarily step up his practice.
“I think the time is almost here.”
“There are still two months until the three-year appointment, so it’s almost the same.”
Yao Lao said: "When you break through to Dou Ling, you can almost go to the imperial capital."
Xiao Yan nodded, and then began to transfer the energy in his body.
The large number of living crystals in the ruins of the Xiao family can be said to have given Xiao Yan a huge help.
Xiao Yan has no bottleneck in his realm, so as long as he has enough energy, he can naturally practice as fast as a rocket.
Now, he still needs to take advantage of the huge energy stored in the Crystal of Life to allow himself to move to a higher level of fighting spirit.
It is not complicated to break through to Dou Ling. For ordinary people to reach this point, it only takes a long time to accumulate. This accumulation time can even reach several years.
The process of accumulation itself is a process of transformation. When the energy in the body breaks through the limit that the great Dou Master can achieve, the Dou Ling will naturally come naturally.
But this also proves how huge the energy required to break through this barrier is.
It’s just that Xiao Yan now has countless life crystals, so the energy problem has been easily solved.
The fiery wind gradually blew in the cave, and then turned into a huge whirlpool.
Xiao Yan's eyes were closed, and he was sitting in the center of the whirlpool. Countless pure energy in the cave began to approach him at the center of the Dou Qi vortex, and then poured into his body.
The power of Xiao Yan’s soul guides the energy to follow the circumferential route of the Burning Jue technique. The steady stream of energy is like two cars running on the highway, whizzing past, and finally rushing straight in. Among the crystals.
In the end, everything fell into place.
The moment Xiao Yan entered the fighting spirit, the vortex of fighting energy was broken by Xiao Yan and turned into a violent shock wave, sweeping across the entire cave and shattering countless dimmed living crystals.
