Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 70: Visit by Jia Xingtian

"You...you are Xiao Yan?" Fa Ma was stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Seeing Fa Ma so surprised, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"But what are you doing in the imperial capital? There are rumors about you everywhere in the imperial capital! And you and Nalan Yanran..." Fa Ma asked.

"Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement. I defeated her in a rage and forced her to write an agreement to break off the engagement. As for why she came to the imperial capital, it was because she got lost when she went to the Demon Beast Mountain Range for training." Xiao Yan said a little embarrassedly.

Fa Ma was fine after hearing what Xiao Yan said at the beginning, after all, he had known about this for a long time. But when he heard the latter part, when Xiao Yan said that he was lost, he looked even more surprised than before.

"You are the only one who can get lost for thousands of miles." Fa Ma shook his head helplessly.

Fa Ma knew that Xiao Yan didn't want to tell the truth and was obviously wary of him. However, this did not make him angry. Instead, he admired Xiao Yan even more. After all, only smart people can survive in this world. No matter how good the talent for cultivation is, if the brain is not sharp, the final outcome is death.

Over the years, Fa Ma has seen many geniuses. Some of them relied on their talents to show off everywhere, and were eventually assassinated.

"I am really surprised that you can face that girl Nalan Yanran without any reaction!" Fa Ma suddenly remembered that when Xiao Yan was with Nalan Yanran today, he didn't show any uncomfortable expression.

Shouldn't a young man gnashing his teeth and glaring at his partner when facing a broken engagement, wishing he could tear the other person apart alive? It was incredible that Xiao Yan could still get along with the other person peacefully, and even seemed to be joking and teasing him.

"Well... Actually, when Nalan Yanran first came to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement, I was really angry. So I gave her a good beating, made her look bad in public, and forced her to write down the agreement to cancel the engagement, which was considered a lesson for her. Later, I thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with her. After all, if I were Nalan Yanran, I would not marry a loser, so there was nothing wrong with canceling the engagement! It's just that the method was excessive. But then I thought about it again, it seemed that except for the most direct method used by Nalan Yanran, she had no other choice. As for secretly going to the Xiao family to discuss it with my elders, it is not something a child should do. Shouldn't Nalan Jie or Nalan Su come forward?" Xiao Yan was obviously dissatisfied with these two people when he said this.

Xiao Yan paused for a moment and then continued, “I guess Nalan Yanran must have mentioned this more than once, but these two old guys just don’t want to go because of their reputation! But they also want Nalan Yanran to cancel the engagement and don’t want her to marry a loser, so they deliberately reject Nalan Yanran again and again, hoping that she can use the power of the Yunlan Sect to force Nalan Yanran to go to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement. In this way, the Nalan family’s reputation for valuing commitments is preserved, and the marriage is canceled. Afterwards, they pretend to be furious and then drive Nalan Yanran out of the Nalan family, so that others won’t gossip about it. After all, this is just a child who doesn’t understand! What a perfect plan! What a pity…”

"Unfortunately, they never expected that your talent would suddenly recover and become even more terrifying than before, and even able to defeat Nalan Yanran. They ended up losing more than they gained. Not only did you break off the engagement, but because of this incident, Nalan Jie's poison broke out and he could die at any time. The Nalan family is also in crisis." Fa Ma continued what Xiao Yan said.

"This is also the old guy's own fault. Those who scheme against others will be schemed against by others." Xiao Yan said coldly.

"You are not much older than Nalan Yanran! You actually call her a little girl. You really don't look like a teenager! No matter the way you think or the tone of your voice, you seem more like an adult. To say you are an adult is an understatement, you are simply an old monster." Fa Ma said with a wry smile.

"It's just that I've been with Master for a long time, so I've become more mature." Xiao Yan smiled embarrassedly. As for Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan now just treated her as a stranger. Although she came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, it was Nalan Yanran who lost face, and Xiao Yan didn't have much impact. In addition, the lesson that should be given has been given, and the punishment has been imposed. Nalan Yanran's situation at this time is indeed pitiful.

After all, Xiao Yan is not a teenager anymore, his soul is already in his forties or fifties, and his thinking is different. It would be a shame for him to haggle with a little girl.

"Since you have such a big dislike for that old guy Nalan Jie, why did you still give him the elixir to save his life?" Fa Ma asked puzzledly.

“Because if Nalan Jie is really dead, the Nalan family will definitely be desperate. If they go to the Xiao family for revenge, with the current strength of the Xiao family, they will not be able to stop them at all. Besides, I don’t want to trouble the teacher because of family matters.” Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Do you need my help?" Fa Ma asked.

"That's not necessary. With the elixir I made, Nalan Jie can wake up temporarily, and the crisis of the Nalan family can be temporarily alleviated. The Nalan family will definitely focus on helping Nalan Jie cure his illness, and will not have the energy to take revenge on the Xiao family. As for two years later... it's still unclear who will cause trouble for whom!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Well, this is indeed a good idea! This way the Nalan family will really not be able to take action, and the current leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, is also a sensible girl. She probably won't let the people in the sect take action against the Xiao family. If the Yunlan Sect really takes action, I won't stand idly by." Fa Ma said.

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Yan said so much, wasn't he just waiting for Fa Ma to say this?
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a little chest tightness, as if there was an invisible pressure in the air that made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Haha, it seems that the old guy can't sit still anymore, and he found this place so quickly." Fa Ma said with a faint smile.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yan had some guesses, but he couldn't confirm it.

"Who else could it be except the royal guardian Jia Xingtian, that immortal old man? He probably got the news about you from the two princesses, so he wanted to find out your origins and whether you are a threat to the empire. After all, he won't be able to sleep or eat if he doesn't find out clearly!" Fa Ma said disdainfully.

"Don't tell him my identity and origin, and don't tell him that I'm here. I will leave the imperial capital in a few days, and I will not use this identity anymore. You just need to tell him that I am from Zhongzhou, and I came to the Jia Ma Empire to train, and I will return to Zhongzhou after a while." Xiao Yan instructed Fa Ma.

"Haha, silly child, why would I tell him your origins! Wouldn't this put you in danger?" After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Fa Ma shook his head helplessly, lamenting that Xiao Yan was too meticulous.

"That's good!" Xiao Yan was finally relieved when he saw Fa Ma agreed.
