First Encounter with Xiao Yi Xian, Liu Xi's Visit!

Bang!

Accompanied by a heavy crash against the ground, Jia Lieqing staggered back uncontrollably, vomiting blood as he retreated.

"Another Da Dou Shi?"

As he watched the swirling dust spread, Oba Pa's gaze sharpened as he stared deeply at Xiao Zhan.

Once he returned, he would have to reconsider his attitude toward the Xiao Family.

"Yan'er!"

When the dust settled, Xiao Zhan's shocked cry caused Oba Pa's expression to change drastically.

"What?!" Oba Pa went pale with shock.

At the spot where Jia Lieqing had just stood, a handsome young man had suddenly appeared.

Xiao Yan!

"Was he the one who forced Jia Lieqing back just now? That's impossible!" Oba Pa stood frozen.

"It's you? How could that be?! I don't believe it!"

Staring at Xiao Yan's youthful face, Jia Lieqing flew into a rage as Dou Qi exploded beneath his feet.

Stone Shattering Fist!

Whoosh!

The instant Jia Lieqing rushed out, a figure flashed over, and their fists collided.

Bang!

A crisp sound of shattering bones rang out as Jia Lieqing was flung into the air, his eyes vacant.

He...

Had been defeated by a junior like Xiao Yan?

Thud!

Jia Lieqing crashed solidly onto the ground, and the mask covering his face drifted away in the wind.

"It's Jia Lieqing from the Jia Lie Family!"

A wave of uproar swept through the merchants and customers on the street as they looked at the lifeless Jia Lieqing.

"I remember what he was wearing! He was the one who attacked me yesterday!"

"The Jia Lie Family did this?"

"Damn it!"

The merchants erupted in outrage.

"Miss, are you all right?"

Picking up the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground, Xiao Yan gently blew the dust off it and handed it to the White-clothed Woman.

The woman wore a pale white dress. Though she could not be called breathtakingly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty.

Her faintly smiling face exuded a fresh, ethereal air.

"Thank you!"

The woman nodded gratefully and quietly concealed the medicinal powder in her sleeve.

Xiao Yan did not expose her. He merely turned sideways and let her pass.

"Miss, are you all right?" A young maid hurried over.

"It was thanks to that young man."

After casting Xiao Yan a complicated glance, the woman touched the Heaven Poison Fruit in her sleeve, then walked over to an injured merchant and began bandaging him.

"You know medicine?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.

"Consider it repayment for your favor." The woman gave an ethereal smile that was utterly captivating.

By the time the Xiao Family guards had laid more than a dozen corpses out on the street, the woman had just finished bandaging the merchant.

"Goodbye."

The woman elegantly nodded to Xiao Yan, then left with her maid.

"That young lady is so beautiful, and her medical skills are exceptional. I wonder where she comes from."

A merchant rolled his shoulders and said cheerfully.

"You don't know her?"

The nearby vendor raised his brows. "When I did business near the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I often saw her! Strangely enough, she only bought poisonous medicinal herbs."

"What was her name again... Oh, right!"

"Xiao Yi Xian!"

Xiao Yan did not pay much attention to the strange name.

He turned and walked toward Xiao Zhan.

"Yan'er, what is your strength now, exactly?" Xiao Zhan stared intently at Xiao Yan.

"A Dou Shi, I guess..." Xiao Yan laughed awkwardly.

Seeing that Xiao Yan did not wish to say more, Xiao Zhan gave him a deep look and could only let the matter go.

"Clan Leader Xiao, Jia Liebi has lost his mind! He actually attacked merchants. You must seek justice for us!"

"That's right! If he can do it once, he can do it again!"

"Those bandits outside the city in the past might have been members of the Jia Lie Family in disguise!"

The merchants were filled with righteous indignation. On a rooftop in the distance, Jia Liebi's face turned green.

It was over!

It was all over!

After the shock brought by Xiao Yan, Oba Pa's attitude toward Xiao Zhan changed completely.

Calling him Clan Leader Xiao at every turn, his fawning and ingratiating manner left Xiao Zhan temporarily unaccustomed to it.

"What are you looking at? Adults are handling business. Children shouldn't make trouble!" Seeing Xiao Yan snickering, Xiao Zhan feigned anger.

He could no longer be bothered to think about where Xiao Yan's bizarre strength had come from.

Even if Xiao Yan were a Dou Di, he was still Xiao Yan's father!

After being scolded for no reason, Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly and wandered around the marketplace.

Suddenly.

A scrawny, furtive figure darted quickly through the crowd.

"Ke Lu, shouldn't you be off making your fortune? What are you doing here?"

Ke Lu was a well-known pickpocket in the marketplace.

In other words, a thief.

"Hehe, Young Master!"

Ke Lu grinned ingratiatingly. "I came to inform you that Miss Xun Er and the others were verbally harassed by a man of unknown background at the edge of the marketplace!"

"Lead the way!"

Seeing the chill in Xiao Yan's expression, Ke Lu hurriedly nodded. He did not dare utter another word of nonsense and immediately sprinted ahead.

At this moment.

At the edge of the marketplace.

"I never expected a tiny place like Wutan City to have such exquisite beauties! Jia Liebi's invitation truly wasn't wasted!"

Liu Xi stared excitedly at Xun Er, openly sweeping his gaze up and down her body.

"I wonder what it would feel like to hold such a slender waist in my arms?"

As Liu Xi spewed vulgarities, he ground his foot against Xiao Ning's body.

"Kid, let this be a lesson to you. Protecting a beauty requires real ability, and you're still lacking!"

Liu Xi kicked Xiao Ning to the ground.

"We're from the Xiao Family! You'd better think carefully before causing trouble!" Xiao Mei's little face was filled with anger.

"Another top-notch beauty? It seems my luck is quite good today!" Liu Xi chuckled lewdly.

"Boring."

Xun Er could not even be bothered to look at Liu Xi as she turned away coldly.

Seeing the beauty at his lips about to leave, Liu Xi stepped forward and put on a gentlemanly smile.

"I am Liu Xi. Might I invite the two young ladies to stroll around the marketplace with me? Hehe, whatever the two young ladies take a liking to here, simply put it on my tab."

As he spoke, Liu Xi slightly pulled aside his robe, flaunting the professional badge on his chest.

"A First Grade Alchemist?"

Seeing the professional badge on Liu Xi's chest, the surrounding crowd immediately gasped in shock.

The gasps only made the smile on Liu Xi's face grow broader.

"Our Xiao Family has an alchemist too!" Xiao Mei said indignantly.

"Hehe, is your Xiao Family's alchemist very impressive?"

Liu Xi was not surprised. Instead, he grew even more amused. "He merely just managed to concoct a second-grade medicinal liquid. In terms of real ability, he might not even compare to me!

Two young ladies, let me give you a word of advice. There are even more powerful figures behind me!

With the flick of a finger, we could reduce your Xiao Family to ashes!"

As he spoke, Liu Xi raised a finger threateningly. "Whether your Xiao Family is destroyed or prospers depends entirely on how you perform tonight!"

Xiao Mei's face turned somewhat ugly at Liu Xi's words, but Xun Er turned back coldly.

"Trash will always be trash. Even wearing an alchemist's skin, you're still just trash. In Brother Xiao Yan's words, you're a... fucking idiot."

The street fell slightly silent, and many people stared in astonishment.

This elegant and charming-looking young woman was no less vicious than anyone else when it came to insulting people.

The smile on Liu Xi's face gradually faded.

"In all these years, you're the first person who has dared speak to me like that."

"I originally intended to use proper means, but unfortunately, you refuse to appreciate my kindness!"

"Since that's the case, don't even think about experiencing this young master's gentleness!"

Liu Xi waved his hand sinisterly.

"Capture them!"
