Passing Each Other By

Let's rewind 15 minutes.

Because of Medusa's affair, Xiao Yan, who had spent more than a year in the Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe, finally embarked on his journey home.

Of course, before returning to the Xiao Household, Xiao Yan also expressed his wish that Medusa would come home with him.

However, although Medusa was prepared to try to accept Xiao Yan, it was clearly impossible for her to go back to the Xiao Household with Xiao Yan at this moment!

First, her relationship with Xiao Yan wasn't deep enough for them to meet each other's parents.

Secondly, there are still many things on the Snake-People Tribe that require her personal attention.

Thirdly, it's for personal reasons.

He didn't know how to face Xiao Yan's parents and family...

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid of meeting your parents; I'm not mentally prepared yet.

In Medusa's words, she might return to the Xiao Household with Xiao Yan in the future, but definitely not now!

Xiao Yan was helpless in this regard; she wouldn't force Medusa.

And so, Xiao Yan embarked on his journey home alone.

However, before returning to the Xiao Household, Xiao Yan asked Medusa if she would be willing to go to the Central Plains with him to explore.

To be honest, Medusa was indeed tempted by it.

However, considering the dangers of Central Plains and the fact that she was pregnant, she gave up.

Similarly, she'll probably try her luck in Central Plains someday, but that will have to wait until after the baby is born.

Finally, after exchanging some words of advice and instructions, the two parted ways for the time being.

After leaving the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City, Xiao Yan naturally chose to return to the Xiao Household in Wutan City first.

"Xiao Yan, I thought you were going to be completely immersed in a world of pleasure and unable to extricate yourself!"

It wasn't until Xiao Yan left the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City that Yao Lao couldn't help but complain.

Yes, back in the Snake-People Tribe Holy City, Yao Lao didn't say a single word to persuade Xiao Yan!

Because this is something Xiao Yan needs to figure out for himself; he won't try to persuade him.

It seems that Xiao Yan's fighting spirit has not been extinguished, which makes Yao Lao quite gratified.

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of person?"

When he said this, Xiao Yan looked somewhat guilty.

And you know what? There really was a moment when he wanted to immerse himself in the Queen's gentle embrace...

"Haha, young friend Xiao Yan's ability to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman definitely shows he has a bright future ahead of him!"

Even Heavenly Fire Venerable managed to interject with a comment.

And so, while chatting with Yao Lao, Heavenly Fire Venerable, and the other two in his Storage Ring, Xiao Yan was rapidly approaching the direction of Wutan City.

Having already reached the Dou Zong level, Xiao Yan's travel speed was naturally quite fast.

Soon, in less than a day, Xiao Yan, flying in the air, had already seen the outline of Wutan City on the horizon.

"It feels like so much time has passed!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

However, just as Xiao Yan finished sighing, he suddenly noticed a violent fluctuation coming from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a massive Formation began to unfold, layer upon layer.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's gaze instantly sharpened.

"This is... Formation extending from the Formation Disk? I remember that Formation was one of the graduation gifts that Supreme Elder Lin Yanran before graduation, right? Oh no! Yanran is in danger!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Yan instantly realized what was happening.

Given their current relationship, Xiao Yan naturally knew what kind of Formation Disk Supreme Elder Lin had given his fiancée, and he recognized it at a glance.

That's precisely why he got anxious!

After all, an opponent who could force Nalan Yanran to use Fifth-Level Formation Disk could hardly be simple.

Therefore, upon realizing that one of the combatants not far away was Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed over at his fastest speed.

At this moment, Xiao Yan only regretted not being Dou Venerable!

Otherwise, why would we need to use flying vehicles?

Although the distance didn't seem far, and he estimated he could arrive in three to five minutes, in Xiao Yan's eyes, the journey was far too long!

"Boom"

At the same time, just as Xiao Yan was flying over at full speed, another roaring sound rang out.

Then, Xiao Yan saw that Formation Disk formation that Nalan Yanran was using was blown open from the inside the moment it was completed.

Finally, a figure shrouded in pale purple flames burst forth from within, transforming into a long rainbow as it soared towards them.

As the opponent approached, Xiao Yan could feel that the four Heavenly Flames within his body were fluctuating.

This allowed Xiao Yan to instantly determine that the other party, like himself, also possessed Heavenly Flames!

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan was in no mood to care about that.

He was considering whether to stop the other party or first check on Nalan Yanran's condition.

"Xiao Yan, don't be impulsive. The opponent was able to break the Formation set up by that girl Nalan Yanran using High-Tier Formation Disk. I'm afraid you can't defeat them right now!"

Just as Xiao Yan hesitated, Yao Lao's voice rang in his ear.

"... I understand, teacher!"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan nodded.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Yan gave up stopping this mysterious person, besides the reason mentioned by Yao Lao, was more importantly because he was worried about Nalan Yanran's current situation!

For Xiao Yan, defeating his enemies was never as important as ensuring the safety of his family and friends!

At the same time, Xiao Yi Xian, who had broken out of the Formation, naturally noticed Xiao Yan, who was rushing over.

She never imagined that after waiting near the Xiao Household for so long, she would actually meet Xiao Yan under these circumstances.

"It's because of that girl..."

Her delicate body trembled, and after murmuring something, Xiao Yi Xian's speed did not slow down; instead, it accelerated!

Although some unexpected things happened along the way, she had achieved her goal.

That was when I met Xiao Yan!

So, it's time for her to leave.

"Call out"

"Call out"

Two whooshing sounds whizzed past each other, probably less than a hundred meters apart.

Such a distance could be covered in an instant if either party were willing!

However, the two, each with their own thoughts, did not do so.

Of course, Xiao Yi Xian didn't want to, and Xiao Yan didn't know!

After all, Xiao Yi Xian was currently dressed in a black robe covering her entire body, and her whole body was wrapped in pale purple Netherworld Poison Flame. Xiao Yan was also worried about Nalan Yanran's situation. If he could still recognize Xiao Yi Xian, then there would be a miracle!

And so, Xiao Yi Xian left, satisfied.

Xiao Yan was unaware that he had missed the chance to reunite with Xiao Yi Xian.

Furthermore, after this missed opportunity, it's uncertain when they will meet again.

This is still unknown!

The two people brushed past each other; one of them left Wutan City and even the Jia Ma Empire!

As for the other person, Xiao Yan had already arrived at Nalan Yanran's side immediately.

Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that the other party was unharmed.
