Wuyou City, the mercenary group had all entered the city. Following Xiao Yan, they continued walking into the city for a long time until they reached a relatively sparsely populated area, where they stopped. The people behind them also stopped, and all eyes turned to Xiao Yan.
Before everyone else, Xiao Yan slowly turned around and looked at A Lie.
At this moment, the latter still looked somewhat dazed. He had never imagined that he would be so lucky as to save the life of a Dou Di expert, and that this Dou Di expert would be so powerful.
Everything that had just happened left A Lie in a state of extreme disorientation, as if it were all a dream.
" A Lie?"
Xiao Yan smiled and asked softly, in a tentative tone.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, A Lie seemed to be suddenly awakened from a dream. He quickly regained his composure and, upon seeing the person before him, immediately became clear-headed. He bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan and said in a humble tone:
"My lord, I was unaware of your identity before and have offended you greatly. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Brother A Lie, there's no need to be so polite. Let's just address each other as before."
Seeing A Lie's expression, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and chuckled softly. However, Alie still dared not be careless. After Xiao Yan's repeated persuasion, Alie gradually relaxed.
"I never imagined that Brother Xiao Yan would be Five-Star Dou Di expert. To be honest, the strongest person I've ever seen is only Jin Ge, Four-Star Dou Di. I never thought I would be so fortunate as to save a Five-Star Dou Di expert. Let's see who dares to say I'm meddling in other people's business now."
Although he was quite surprised and shocked by Xiao Yan's strength, A Lie's open-minded nature quickly led him to chat and laugh with Xiao Yan again.
Just as the two were laughing, two of their brothers quickly came up from behind, carrying the injured and unconscious Feng Lun on their backs. Upon seeing this, A Lie's smile, which had just appeared on his face, quickly vanished, replaced by a deep look of worry.
A Lie took three steps in two, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Feng Lun's hand, and used his Dou Qi to quickly check Feng Lun's injuries.
At this moment, Feng Lun's face was extremely pale. Although he had just swallowed two second-tier pills, the result was not ideal. After all, he had been severely injured by a Four-Star Dou Di, which could not be easily recovered with just second-tier pills. If things went wrong, Feng Lun could lose his life at any time.
Uncle Feng Lun!
As the investigation deepened, A Lie's expression grew increasingly anxious. His brows furrowed deeply, almost as if water was about to drip from them, and his anxiety made A Lie breathing rapid.
"It's no use. Commander Feng's injuries are too severe. My medicine is completely ineffective. He might..."
Fang Ruyan walked over with an apologetic look on her face. Although she wanted to say something to comfort her, she couldn't say anything in the end.
Feng Lun's injuries were far too severe. As Half-Emperor, he was struck by a Four-Star Dou Di expert. Under such circumstances, his chances of survival were almost negligible. Even with the help of second-tier pills, there was ultimately no way to save him.
Upon hearing Fang Ruyan's words, the atmosphere, which had just become relaxed, sombered again among the group of mercenaries behind her, and deep hatred appeared on everyone's face.
" Jin Ge!"
The thought that Feng Lun was about to leave him forever filled A Lie with rage. The energy that had just calmed down within him surged up again, and his standing body trembled violently.
"Let me see. The person isn't dead yet, why make such a fuss?"
Noticing this, Xiao Yan spoke softly, and at the same time, he placed a hand on A Lie's shoulder, and a huge amount of Spiritual Strength surged into the latter's body, quickly suppressing the violent fighting Dou Qi.
Upon hearing this, everyone— A Lie, Fang Ruyan, and the mercenary group behind them—immediately turned their attention to Xiao Yan.
If we were to ask who the only person in the room at this moment still has the ability to save Feng Lun, then without a doubt, it would be Xiao Yan.
At this moment, A Lie also turned his hopeful gaze to Xiao Yan. Regardless of whether Xiao Yan could save Feng Lun, it was the only way and the most hopeful possibility at present.
Sensing the gazes directed at him, Xiao Yan smiled confidently and approached the heavily injured and unconscious Feng Lun. With a flick of his wrist, a jade-green pill the size of a longan appeared in Xiao Yan's palm.
This is a third-tier healing pill, which has a unique therapeutic effect on people who are seriously injured. With it, injuries like Feng Lun's are no problem at all.
Earlier, while A Lie was still carefully examining Feng Lun, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength had already withdrawn from Feng Lun's body. He had a comprehensive understanding of the latter's injuries. To be honest, Xiao Yan didn't really care about these injuries.
With the third-tier pills he possessed, Xiao Yan could recover from his injuries by taking any one of them.
Xiao Yan took out the pill and gave it to Feng Lun without hesitation. In a short while, under the effect of the third-grade pill, the vital medicinal power spread rapidly throughout Feng Lun's body. The injuries in the latter's body were also recovering at an extremely astonishing speed. Unbeknownst to them, even his pale face gradually returned to normal. Although the injuries had not been completely healed, this alone was enough to shock everyone present.
Seeing this, A Lie's face, which had been filled with surprise, immediately broke into a delighted smile, while Fang Ruyan, standing to the side, kept her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.
From the moment Xiao Yan took out that pill, Fang Ruyan was certain that Feng Lun would escape this calamity.
Even within their own family, there weren't many third-tier pills available. Yet, Xiao Yan, simply to save an outsider, could calmly and effortlessly produce one. One couldn't imagine how abundant his resources were.
However, what moved Fang Ruyan the most at this moment was not Xiao Yan's pills, but his cultivation as a Five-Star Dou Di.
Now, the Fang Clan's position in Helan City is about to be threatened. Her purpose in returning to the family is to contribute her modest efforts to help the family overcome this crisis.
Although she knew that her cultivation level of Seven-Star Half-Emperor was not enough to change anything, given the great calamity that had befallen her family, as the eldest daughter of the family, Fang Ruyan had to return to her family no matter what.
Fang Ruyan's heart had been heavy throughout the journey, but upon witnessing Xiao Yan's previously displayed strength, a glimmer of hope finally rose in Fang Ruyan despairing heart.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I wonder if I could..."
"No need. I have no interest in the affairs between your two families. Please make yourself at home, Miss."
However, before Fang Ruyan could finish speaking, Xiao Yan denied it softly without turning his head. The certainty in his words made Fang Ruyan's pretty face turn pale instantly.
She never expected that before she could even extend an invitation, the other person would reject her first.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I sincerely hope to invite you to help our family overcome this crisis. If you can help the Fang Clan get through this difficult time, I will grant you anything you desire. And if you're willing, I can also..."
As she finished speaking, a blush crept onto Fang Ruyan's pale face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with hesitation. But in the end, she gritted her teeth and quickly said:
"If you are willing, I am willing to become your concubine. I humbly request that Mr. Xiao Yan make this one move..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. Even A A Lie, who was standing nearby, was shocked by Fang Ruyan's words after his expression had just relaxed.
However, Xiao Yan's expression quickly returned to normal, and he shook his head firmly, saying slowly:
"I'm sorry, I'm used to traveling alone, and I'm not comfortable with someone by my side. Miss Fang, you'd better find someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan turned around and walked into the deserted alley. Fang Ruyan stared intently at Xiao Yan's departing figure with her beautiful eyes, her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lips, and her beautiful eyes quickly reddened.
