Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The Mysterious Man in Black Robe

Along the street, Xiao Yan walked towards the hotel where he was staying. Along the way, the pointing and adoring gazes around him gave him a headache, so he had to speed up his pace, turned a few streets, and finally rushed into the hotel , went straight to his room. Pushing open the door, Xiao Yan closed the door and leaned his back against the door. Then he let out a long breath and rubbed his forehead. His face was slightly tired. Although the two rounds of assessment seemed simple, they The hidden mystery made Xiao Yan very sad, and the speed competition with the gray-robed boy at the end made him even more exhausted. Controlling the strange fire was originally an extremely exhausting and precise job.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan walked into the room, brushed some cold water on his face, so that he was much more awake, then quickly entered the inner hall, sat cross-legged on the bed, resisting the urge to fall asleep , his eyes were slightly closed, his hands formed the seal of cultivation, he took a few deep breaths, tried to make his breathing steady, and finally slowly entered the state of cultivation. After these years of experience, Xiao Yan has long understood that cultivating when mentally exhausted can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Although this state is not so rare, no matter how extraordinary the talent is, if you want to become a strong person, you must It needs to be accumulated over time.Yao Lao once said that only through thick accumulation can one grow thinly, this is the orthodox way of the strong, and Xiao Yan also deeply believes in this.

As Xiao Yan gradually entered the state of cultivation, his slightly heaving chest also quietly became stable.After quite a while, there was a small ups and downs just now, and at this time, the surrounding world fluctuated slightly, wisps of energy airflow visible to the naked eye followed Xiao Yan's exhalation, poured into the body, and finally refined and turned into pure energy, invading Moisturize the meridians, bones, cells in the body... Under the invasion of energy, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that his mental exhaustion receded like a tide. After practicing for about two hours, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the bed like a wooden stake, suddenly trembled slightly with his fingers, and slowly opened his eyes, and in the dark eyes, a bright light flashed away.

The mouth was slightly opened, and a mouthful of slightly dark turbid air was exhaled, with a slight pungent taste. Xiao Yan twisted his neck, looked down at the faintly blackened middle finger of his left hand, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Damn it, it's like a tarsal maggot. Is it a profit? Or a loss?" Although Xiao Yan has a different fire body protection, whoever has this deadly poison in his body that can almost kill people instantly, surely it is impossible to really ignore it, right? "Well, we can only wait until the teacher wakes up, maybe we can solve this problem..." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Yan fell down on the warm bed and murmured: "Once tomorrow's meeting is over, we will be able to solve this problem again." Give Nalan Jie the last poison, and he must be cured, and when the time comes...¨"

"When the time comes... it will be the time for the three-year agreement to arrive." With his lips slightly pursed, Xiao Yan suddenly sighed softly.In three years, that delicate and rude girl has grown into a lot more mature now. In the past, Xiao Yan originally thought that when he saw Nalan Yanran again, he would be so angry that it would be difficult to hide his emotions, but this time, perhaps because he was using the identity of Yan Xiao at this moment, he found himself It turned out to be so calm that he had never met her before. During this time, he was like a stranger, watching her behavior and conversation with cold eyes.

Three years also made that immature young man mature and stable. The farce of the Xiao family's resignation, in his view now, was indeed very funny and funny, but unfortunately, it never happened again. How much anger there was back then. Back then, the young man had such a violent reaction, perhaps it was because of his sensitive heart under the name of waste, who was ridiculed and stared at by the family, and Nalan Yanran's forceful divorce was also because of his fragile heart. On the sensitive heart, a knife was slashed, and under such high-intensity trampling, the unbearable young man finally exploded, so the story of the past few years just now...

At least when Xiao Yan thinks about it now, if he had continued to inherit his talent back then and hadn't experienced the setback of becoming a waste, then even if Nalan Yanran came to divorce the engagement that day, he would not have felt much anger... However, he can also be sure of one thing, if it is not for the useless experience of those years and Nalan Yanran's resignation, Xiao Yan, at the age of less than twenty, would definitely be able to reach the present day that has attracted countless people's attention. step…… Thinking of some things that could almost change the direction of the future, Xiao Yan was a little distracted, and then shook his head with a wry smile, assumptions are always just assumptions, so, no matter what kind of attitude he has towards Nalan Yanran now, but that Yunlanzong, But it's a must...

Although now he doesn't have much anger toward Nalan Yanran, but her forceful resignation at the beginning made the Xiao family and his father who had a very high status in his heart lose face.This kind of thing, in the social atmosphere of the Jia Ma Empire, was slapped fiercely in front of countless people. This is a shame for a family! Although Xiao Zhan has never brought up this matter since he divorced the engagement because he was afraid of provoking Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan knows that no matter what, there is always a grudge in his heart.For so many years in the Xiao family, he was the first patriarch who was forced to come to the door, and with a strong tone that could not be refused, he rescinded the marriage contract promised by his father back then.

Moreover, back then in the hall of the Xiao family, the young man bearing the name of trash also stubbornly made a promise to his father that he would pay back the shame! For this promise, the young man began to practice hard, and finally left the family, just like an ascetic, traveling the empire, polishing his youthful immaturity... During the nearly two years away from home, Xiao Yan traveled nearly half of the Jia Ma Empire, and then finally came to this city after going round and round.The reason is that the so-called three-year agreement, he is not very interested in taking revenge on her now, he just wants to take this news to get rid of the grudge in his father's heart, and then said with a smile: "This time, It's me who really Hugh her... no one can doubt."

Therefore, the Misty Cloud Sect must go no matter what.Of course, if he wins over her in the three-year contract, Xiao Yan doesn't mind if he casually says to her who once stood tall in front of him with a disdainful face: "Your vision is pretty bad." And this should be Xiao Yan's last revenge on her. In the past three years, Xiao Yan has added some things, and also downplayed some things, but generally speaking, this change is good. "Huh..." After taking a long breath, Xiao Yan rested his arms on the back of his head, his eyes were blurred, and in a daze, a girl as elegant as a lotus suddenly appeared in his mind. Those frowns and smiles made Xiao Yan indifferent. Some smiles and smiles appeared on his face involuntarily.

For the woman who almost became his wife, Xiao Yan doesn't have much feeling now. He didn't have it before, maybe he won't have it in the future. Some conquest desires have been experienced for two years. In loneliness, he suddenly felt that his heart was quietly occupied and entangled by a certain girl without knowing it. She is obviously the most dazzling jewel of the family, but she just likes to hide by her side, pretending to be pitiful and unloved. Obviously the background is huge and mysterious, yet she smiles peacefully at her good-for-nothing self, obedient to everything... This gentle girl like a ball of autumn water quietly penetrated into Xiao Yan's heart without Xiao Yan even noticing it. Although she was young, she was smart, but she knew very well that she wanted to capture that restless heart. There is only a warm fire and a slow stew. One day, when Mu Ran looks back, he will understand... "Xun'er, wait for me, I will be able to find you when the matter here is over..." Thinking of that elegant and charming little face, Xiao Yan's heart felt warm, and he murmured in a low voice. "Kah..." While Xiao Yan was muttering, a small voice suddenly resounded above the house. "Who?" Although the voice was subtle, it was undoubtedly a muffled sound to the ears of Xiao Yan, who has excellent perception. His expression changed immediately, and he shouted. When the sound of drinking sounded, Xiao Yan supported the bed with the palm of his hand, and shot out from the window in a vigorous figure. He tapped a protruding stone lightly with his toes, and his body was like a big roc, flashing up to the room. Above the top, a slightly icy gaze swept across the surroundings instantly. Above the sky, a silver moon hung high, and the faint moonlight poured down, illuminating the entire city. With the help of the moonlight, Xiao Yan did not find even a single figure on the roof. Squinting his eyes slightly, he scanned the surroundings. Under the moonlight, Xiao Yan could see clearly even a hundred meters away, but he still didn't find half a person. Frowning, Xiao Yan walked slowly on the roof. After a while, he suddenly squatted down and looked at the broken tile, his pupils shrank slightly. Only the cracked part of the tile was clearly visible, and it was obvious that the break was not long ago. ... Open the tiles with the palm of your hand, some lights come from below, and the room below happens to be where Xiao Yan lives... "Surveillance?" With a gloomy face, the tiles in Xiao Yan's hands instantly turned into a pile of powder. After a long while, he clapped his hands, stood up, and said in his heart: "To be able to disappear in such a short period of time, I am afraid that the opponent's strength is at least Dou Wang level? In Jia Ma Holy City, there seems to be only a few families with Dou Wang powerhouses? The Nalan family? The Mu family? The Mittel family? The royal family?" "Get out, hide your head and show your tail, what kind of birdman?" Xiao Yan, who was in deep thought, suddenly turned his head and shouted coldly in a direction. The shouting hovered over the roof, and after a while, it slowly dissipated, but there was still no movement around. "No?" Seeing that the babble failed, Xiao Yan shrugged, sighed helplessly, looked around again, and finally had to jump off the roof. Following Xiao Yan's jump, the roof fell into silence again. However, the silence didn't last for a few minutes, Xiao Yan's figure flashed up again, seeing the still empty roof, he smiled wryly, finally convinced that the spy had already left, sighed and shook his head Shaking his head, he had no choice but to flash back to his room desperately. Following Xiao Yan's real departure this time, the silence on the roof lasted for nearly half an hour. A place with the moon behind it, like a dark shadow reflected on a wall, suddenly moved strangely. It turned up, and finally solidified into a human shape. The figure was wrapped in a pitch-black robe, casually glanced at the place where Xiao Yan disappeared, slightly raised his head to reveal a dark and old face, "Hey, this little guy is really sensitive..." The man in black robe Smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "If it wasn't because I heard Miss's name suddenly, I wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, tsk tsk, if I let others know, I would be discovered by a little kid at the level of a fighter Wouldn't that be embarrassing?" "This little guy seems to have some meaning for the young lady..." Under the black robe, the old man frowned, and said distressedly: "The most troublesome thing is that the young lady has affection for this guy, which is not acceptable... Although Xiao Yan's talent is good, he is still far from meeting the requirements, and he has been wandering around in the Jia Ma Empire. How promising can he be? If this continues, he will end up sad sooner or later. Is being...'s daughter so easy to pursue..." Sighing, the black-robed old man muttered: "However, there are a few people around this little guy who are not weak. The old man called Jia Lao almost discovered my aura. I am about to step into Dou Zong's other powerhouses are really different..." "Oh, forget it. Fortunately, this little guy is going to the Misty Cloud Sect soon. After finishing the business here, I can go back to protect Miss." Stretching his arms and twisting his body, the old man in robe trembled, black The robe gradually blurred, and finally turned into a pitch-black shadow, shot into the darkness like lightning, and finally became completely silent... Xiao Yan, who returned to the room, sat by the table, staring up at the ceiling until his neck became a little sore, then he lowered his head helplessly and rubbed his neck. "Gah..." When Xiao Yan was beating his shoulders, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. The smiling Hai Bodong walked in slowly, looked at Xiao Yan who hadn't fallen asleep, came to the table with a smile, and sat down. Going down, he took a sip from his teacup: "Little guy, you're very capable today, haha, even the old fellow Fana was surprised." Looking at Hai Bodong, Xiao Yan also smiled, rubbed his chin, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Old Hai, do you feel that someone is watching us recently?" "Surveillance?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible? No one in the Jia Ma Empire can spy on us right under their noses! Not even that old monster." Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan licked his lips, and slowly said briefly what happened earlier. "Really?" Looking at Xiao Yan's expression that didn't seem to be joking, Hai Bo's face gradually became serious, and his withered fingers lightly tapped on the table. After a long while, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice: "Little guy, let me tell you something, but I don't dare to be too sure about it..." Seeing Hai Bodong's mysterious appearance, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "What?" "Do you know when we fought those two mysterious Dou Huang powerhouses in Yancheng?" Hai Bodong stroked his beard, frowned and said softly: "At that time, I vaguely sensed that there was another extremely tyrannical aura present. , but the situation was urgent, and I couldn't sense it for sure, but since then, I have sensed it several times, but it is also very vague... Listening to what you said tonight, I guess there seems to be a mysterious person with Behind us... for a long time..." Hai Bodong's low voice made Xiao Yan's hair stand on end suddenly, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice: "Even you can't sense it? How is that possible? Could it be that the mysterious man is a strong Dou Zong?" "Uh..." Haidong shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "I said it a long time ago. This is my guess. It's not clear whether there is a real person or if we are mentally allergic..." Hearing this, Xiao Yan also gave a wry smile, frowned and thought for a while, but he really couldn't think of when he came into contact with and the sin of the Douzong level powerhouse. "Okay, don't worry about it. Let things take their course. If someone is following us, then he must have a purpose. If so, I think he will show up sooner or later." Hai Bodong patted Xiao Inflamed shoulders, comforted. Nodding with a wry smile, Xiao Yan can only think so now. "Hehe, are you interested in going out with me to do something good tonight? Those two old fellows, Fa Ma, are here." Hai Bodong suddenly laughed and said, "Uh? What do you three want to do when you move out?" Hearing this , Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then said in astonishment, the three fighting emperors act together, whose hometown are they planning to destroy? "hey-hey" "Could it be because of that gray-robed boy?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and after a while, raised his eyebrows, and said. "It's that guy. Fa Ma always felt that there was something wrong with him, so he wanted to find out. You also know that if the Jia Ma Empire Conference is won by the people from the Izumo Empire, it will deal a big blow to the guild's reputation. "Hai Bodong laughed. "You don't think..." Xiao Yan said in a low voice with his palms slightly crossed, "Depending on the situation, I can't rule out this possibility. This time I helped that old fellow Fa Ma, but he owes me a favor, haha." Hai Bo Dong smiled. "Damn... you guys are really ruthless." Xiao Yan twitched the corners of his lips, the scene behind this conference must be too dark. "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to see the details of that guy, just follow me..." Hai Bodong stood up and walked leisurely towards the outside of the room. Finally, after hesitating for a while, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and followed. He really wanted to see if that guy was really so young. So capable, or because of other reasons?
