"Well..."
In the hall, Fang Cheng and Yuan Qing stared at Xiao Yan in astonishment, their gazes sweeping back and forth between Xiao Yan and Fang Ruyan. They immediately realized that the powerful figure Fang Ruyan had mentioned was none other than Xiao Yan.
It must be said that the word "fate" is truly unfathomable.
A day earlier, Xiao Yan had unintentionally saved Fang Ruyan, but he never expected to meet Yuan Qing the next day. Most importantly, there was a subtle connection between the two of them.
What are you doing in my house?
Fang Ruyan's pretty face also showed a look of astonishment. She didn't expect that Xiao Yan, who had directly rejected her invitation the day before, would actually show up at her family's place the next day. This was too ridiculous.
"Ahem, that's a long story."
Xiao Yan coughed twice and shrugged helplessly.
Beside them, Fang Cheng and Yuan Qing exchanged a glance, both unable to suppress a chuckle. Fang Cheng bowed deeply to Xiao Yan, speaking sincerely:
"I am Fang Cheng. Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan, for saving my daughter Ruyan!"
Even Yuan Qing, who was standing to the side, bowed to Xiao Yan once again.
He and Fang Cheng were bosom friends, and Fang Ruyan was treated as his own daughter. He had long regarded the Fang Clan's affairs as his own. Since Xiao Yan had saved Fang Ruyan, it was as if Xiao Yan had bestowed another great favor upon him.
"You two are too kind. What I did yesterday was just a casual gesture. Besides, Brother Yuan Qing and I are old acquaintances and friends. Your constant actions towards me make me feel a bit distant."
"Haha, since Mr. Xiao Yan puts it that way, then we won't stand on ceremony, haha!"
"Hahaha..."
Fang Cheng laughed loudly, and Xiao Yan joined in with the other two. Then, the three of them gradually suppressed their laughter, their expressions returning to seriousness. Fang Cheng looked at Xiao Yan and said:
"Brother Xiao Yan, in three days, it will be the day our Fang Clan and the Wang Clan completely break ties. A bloody battle is inevitable. The previous patriarch of the Wang Clan Wang Xiang, has already reached the Five-Star Dou Di; his strength is extraordinary. Therefore, I hope to invite you to help our Fang Clan overcome this crisis!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing, who was standing to the side, also nodded in agreement, turned to Xiao Yan, and said:
"Brother Xiao Yan, we know you are also Five-Star Dou Di, but the battle three days from now will be extraordinary. I hope to invite you to help us. Of course, we don't necessarily need you to kill Wang Xiang. As long as you can help us hold him off until we deal with the rest of the Wang Clan, we will come to your aid."
"That's right. Although Jin Ge is quite strong, he's extremely cowardly and a typical example of someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as Mr. Xiao Yan helps us and drives him away, then the Wang Clan will be ours to take over!"
The two spoke in a back-and-forth manner, and the way they addressed each other immediately shortened the distance between Xiao Yan and them. After a few words, Xiao Yan had no reason to refuse.
However, they didn't seem to have much confidence in Xiao Yan's strength. They only told Xiao Yan to do his best to hold off Wang Xiang, but they didn't think Xiao Yan had the ability to defeat him.
Of course, if two equally powerful individuals are placed together, and they are the same age, the difference between them may not be significant. However, if their ages differ, their combat strength will also change.
Perhaps it was because Wang Xiang was older that, as the saying goes, "old ginger is spicier," the two people in front of them believed that Wang Xiang might be stronger than Xiao Yan in a real battle, which is why the latter did his best to hold him off rather than defeat him.
However, this person clearly underestimated Xiao Yan's strength. Even a Mid Seven-Star Dou Di expert almost died at his hands. How much trouble could a Five-Star Dou Di possibly cause?
Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally at this, but when Fang Ruyan saw the smile on his face, a sense of doubt suddenly welled up in the young girl's heart. She inexplicably felt that Xiao Yan might have a greater chance of winning against Wang Xiang.
The girl was taken aback by the sudden thought that had arisen in her mind. As she pondered it, a blush crept onto her pretty face. Taking advantage of the fact that the three people in front of her were still chatting happily, she quickly left the hall.
That night.
The stars shone brightly in the sky, and the bright silver moon, like a silver plate, shone with a radiant light in the night sky.
The moonlight, like snowflakes, blanketed the earth, illuminating the city below as if it were daytime.
Helan City, within the Wang Clan's territory.
Clan Chief Wang Zhenyu and his father, the previous clan chief Wang Xiang, were standing inside the council hall.
A cold smile appeared on the old woman's gloomy face; she was looking forward to the decisive battle with the Fang Clan three days later.
Based on his understanding of the Fang Clan Fang Clan, he knew they would never leave Helan City, so he had already prepared to launch a final battle against them three days later.
This war will determine who will dominate Helan City in the future, and whose territory this city will belong to!
And his Wang Clan will inevitably become the masters of this city!
The Fang Clan will inevitably become history!
"Father, based on the timeline, that person should arrive on the morning of the third day."
Behind Wang Xiang, Wang Zhenyu spoke respectfully.
Although Wang Zhenyu is now the patriarch of the family, the real power lies in the hands of his father, who makes all the decisions regarding the family.
"Hmph, alright. That sir has limited time, so it's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Just in case, let's call that guy Jin Ge over as well."
Wang Xiang appeared confident and assured, as if he had already foreseen the Fang Clan's fate.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenyu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively:
"Father, didn't that lord say he would bring a Five-Star Dou Di? If he's going to make a move, why should we Jin Ge coming here? He'll just be picking up the pieces."
What do you know!
Wang Xiang gave a sharp rebuke and snorted coldly:
"Although Jin Ge is greedy, he's not stupid. As long as he sees that we were able to invite that important person, and even a Five-Star Dou Di, he'll realize the strength of our Wang Clan. With this incident as a deterrent, let's see what tricks he dares to play on us in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenyu suddenly realized what was going on and began to flatter him, repeatedly agreeing. Then, Wang Xiang gave him a few more instructions, and only after confirming that everything was correct did he leave the hall with a smug smile.
After that, Wang Zhenyu's face darkened, and he cursed the old bastard in his heart before leaving the hall.
