Enemies on a Narrow Road
In the hall, there was no shortage of knowledgeable people. When they saw the flame that could instantly melt even Magic Core weapons, everyone's expression changed.
Xiao Yan didn't even exert much effort, and he grabbed the Mo family Second Miss's snow-white neck, lifting her up.
Xiao Yan's indifferent voice spread out, without a hint of tenderness.
Her beautiful eyes filled with terror, the Mo family Second Miss, Ling Lin, stared in horror at the young man in front of her. Although she had reached the strength of a Dou Shi, how could a mere Dou Shi escape from Xiao Yan's hands?
Xiao Yan's indifferent eyes and calm voice made it seem like he could kill the Mo family Second Miss at any time, without any hesitation.
"This brother, please stop!" From the lobby of the inn, a middle-aged man hurried out, his face full of worry and tension.
Seeing the Mo family Badge on the middle-aged man's chest, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment before suddenly letting go.
Ling Lin sat directly on the ground, coughed twice, touched her neck, and looked up at Xiao Yan with a terrified expression.
If Xiao Yan had used a little more force just now, he could have crushed her neck bones, and she would have died.
"Your Excellency, Ling Lin was too impulsive just now. Please, for the sake of my Mo family, don't hold it against her." The middle-aged man's scalp went numb. This time, Ling Lin had kicked a steel plate!
The young man in front of him was very strong, and the old man beside him was even more unfathomable, probably reaching the Dou Ling level.
Ling Lin hurriedly got up from the ground and hid behind the middle-aged man. She also knew that she had kicked a steel plate this time and didn't dare to shout.
"Your Mo family is not qualified enough," Xiao Yan said slowly.
Xiao Yan's voice echoed in the quiet hall, and even Hai Bo Dong didn't speak.
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched. If it were normal, he would have taken action after hearing such words. But now, although he wanted to teach Xiao Yan a lesson, he would most likely die miserably.
"Hehehe, yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency is right. We will definitely discipline Ling Lin strictly. All expenses of the two of you in Yan City will be covered by our Mo family. We have already prepared the best suites for you, and we hope you will forgive us." The middle-aged man glared at the stunned receptionist beside him.
Only then did the receptionist react, hurriedly taking out two exquisite room number plates and handing them to Hai Bo Dong and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded to Hai Bo Dong before taking the two exquisite number plates and heading to the guest rooms.
Hai Bo Dong said in a low voice, "I thought you would directly cause a scene at the Mo family."
"The Mo family is not to be feared, but the Mo family is deeply rooted in Yan City. If we attract the city guards here, it will be troublesome. The city guards are equivalent to the Gama Empire royal family."
"My purpose is only to get Qing Lin back. If Qing Lin is safe, I can let the Mo family bleed a little."
Although Mo Cheng left Mo City Rock a day earlier on a flying Magical Beast, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong's speed was definitely faster than the flying Magical Beast. There was a high probability that Qing Lin was still safe.
Therefore, Xiao Yan didn't want to make too much of a fuss. He could vent his anger after rescuing Qing Lin.
Watching the old and young man slowly disappear at the end of the stairs, the tense atmosphere in the hall eased a little, and people began to whisper, guessing what background these two people had.
Ling Lin's pale face only gradually regained some color after Xiao Yan disappeared. Suddenly, a tear of grievance slid from her eyes, and she wiped the water droplets from her beautiful eyes with the back of her hand.
She had lived in Yan City for so many years, and this was the first time she had been so wronged.
After Xiao Yan had left for a while, Ling Lin's followers ran over to comfort her, chattering.
However, these comforts seemed a bit awkward.
"Hehe, why is Ling Lin crying so pitifully? Could it be that someone dares to offend you in Yan City?" As the young men around Ling Lin each showed their bravery, desperately saying sweet words, a clear laughter like a spiritual ancient bell came from behind.
A woman wearing an elegant moon-white dress walked gracefully through the door in everyone's gaze.
The moment the woman walked in, all the men's breathing paused slightly, and many people stared straight at her.
The woman wore a wide-sleeved, tight-fitting moon-white robe, with a light silver belt tied around her slender Willow Waist, a design that perfectly showcased her slender waist.
Her charming smile revealed a faint, otherworldly nobility, and her seemingly gentle smile also revealed a sense of indifference that kept people at a distance, with a unique stubbornness in her eyes.
Even if Xiao Yan were standing here, he would probably be confused for a few seconds and might not immediately recognize that the woman in front of him was Nalan Yanran, whose two fingers he had broken with a punch three years ago.
Nalan Yanran was the same age as Xiao Yan. As the saying goes, a woman changes greatly at eighteen. The current Nalan Yanran was different from what she was three years ago.
"Sister Nalan, why are you here too?" When Ling Lin saw Nalan Yanran, she stopped crying, jumped over, and giggled happily, holding Nalan Yanran's arm.
Although Ling Lin was also considered beautiful, she seemed a bit inferior and ashamed when standing next to Nalan Yanran.
Seeing Ling Lin's cheerful and lively appearance, Nalan Yanran only smiled faintly.
Her smile was reserved and contained a hint of nobility, neither making people feel cold nor giving a sense of alienation that made people stop at a distance. In any case, since experiencing that incident three years ago, the past three years had made the originally spoiled and willful young girl much more mature.
Following behind Nalan Yanran was still Ge Ye, who had accompanied her to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement.
Ge Ye's cultivation has now reached the level of a two-star Dou Ling. Back then, he could be considered to have joined the right team. As Nalan Yanran's status rose, he also gained many benefits from it, allowing his cultivation to improve relatively quickly over these three years.
Ling Lin affectionately held Nalan Yanran's fair, warm jade-like slender hand, and said with a joyful smile, "Sister Nalan, if my father and the others knew that you personally came down from Yunlan Mountain, they would be very happy."
"It's just on my teacher's orders, and it just so happens that I need to go home for a while to prepare some things, so I came over conveniently," Nalan Yanran said in a gentle voice.
"Sister Nalan, it's getting late today, why not rest here for the night? There are rooms specially set up here to accommodate someone of your status," Ling Lin said excitedly.
"Well, thank you, Sister Ling Lin," Nalan Yanran said with a smile and a nod.
Ling Lin smiled sheepishly and didn't say anything, silently leading the way in front, guiding Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye up the stairs.
Watching the group disappear at the end of the stairs, the whispers in the hall became even louder, like flies buzzing.
Xiao Yan, who was probably in his room, would never have imagined that he would encounter Nalan Yanran when he came to Yan City!
