Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 34 Nalan Yanran
Time flies,
More than a week after the market competition among the major families in Utan City ended, the turmoil finally came to a close.

On this day, the sun was high in the sky.
The scorching sun baked the earth like an oven, and wisps of visible heat seeped from the ground and slowly rose into the air, slightly distorting one's vision.

The back mountain of the Xiao family

In a dense grove of trees,
The dazzling sunlight pierced through the dense foliage, casting tiny spots of light onto the leaf-strewn ground, like scattered stars.

A slender figure, as delicate as a lotus flower, rushed towards Xiao Yue, creating a slight gust of wind that sent nearby withered leaves flying everywhere.

"boom!"

Xiao Yue casually extended her palm.
With a muffled thud, she seemed to have anticipated it, easily blocking Xiao Xun'er's fair little hand from gently touching her. Although the attack seemed gentle, when the two met, the soft force suddenly became aggressive.

"Sister Yue'er, again!"

After being repelled, Xiao Xun'er's eyes flashed with a playful smile. She re-established her stance, her fair hands slightly shimmering with pale golden battle qi. With a swift movement, she attacked Xiao Yue once more.

Faced with her attack, Xiao Yue chuckled lightly, her tall and slender figure standing motionless in the center of the forest, easily dealing with the girl's attacks with just one hand.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xiao Xun'er moved very fast, and the sounds of their fighting echoed in the air. Every time their palms clashed, a piercing energy explosion would rang out.

however,
No matter what angle she attacked from, Xiao Yue could always easily neutralize it. Each time her fair, jade-like hand reached out with a seemingly quick yet slow motion, it could perfectly neutralize those attacks, just like a calm lake that could calmly offset any ripples, preventing them from causing any storm.

"Sister Yue'er, be careful..."

Seeing that her efforts had been ineffective, Xun'er couldn't help but smirk, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes. Her soft, delicate hands were once again enveloped in a pale golden light.

She made a small semicircle with her fair hand in front of her, and a pale golden light suddenly shone brightly in her palm. Her small hand was clenched into a strange semicircle, and then it struck Xiao Yue's palm without hesitation.

Xiao Yue originally intended to use the same trick again, using the push palm technique of Tai Chi to deflect this attack. However, the result was somewhat unexpected. An opposite force came from her hand, causing her to take half a step back.

"Sister Yue'er, you lost."

A sly glint flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes, her beautiful, bright eyes filled with a playful smile. The rule this time was that if she made Xiao Yue move even half a step, she would lose.

"What was that fighting technique you just used?"

Xiao Yue was also stunned for a moment, then looked at the playful girl with her hands behind her back, smiled and asked.

"The Xuan-rank advanced combat skill - Swallow Counterattack, when refined to a high level, can reflect the opponent's attack back. I am still in the initial stage, and can only reflect about two layers of power back," Xiao Xun'er said with a smile.

"Not bad fighting skills..."

Xiao Yue nodded slightly. She could sense some subtle techniques in it, similar to the skills of Tai Chi push palm.

"To counter my sister's palm strike, Xun'er has been secretly practicing for a long time!" The girl leaned slightly forward in front of Xiao Yue, her fair hands behind her back, her face full of a smug smile, and she even playfully stuck out her pink tongue as she spoke.

"You're quite clever, knowing that this move can counter my palm strike to deflect force..." Xiao Yue flicked the girl's delicate nose and chuckled helplessly.

She certainly didn't take the competition seriously; she only held back a little, not using her full strength. That small opening was just to amuse the girl.

"Sister Yue'er, let's go too. We have guests from the Yunlan Sect coming today. If we don't go soon, Uncle Xiao Zhan and Aunt Liu Yan will be angry again." As soon as she finished speaking...

The girl in purple had a mischievous smile in her eyes. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed gracefully on a blue stone. Her bright, watery eyes looked at Xiao Yue with a charming smile. Her long, straight black hair that reached her waist exuded youthful vitality and an alluring aura.

"Let's go..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue nodded.
The Yunlan Sect wields immense influence in the Jia Ma Empire. Her father had mentioned this to her yesterday, and although she hadn't taken it to heart, she didn't want to embarrass her father and mother.

Walking side by side with Xiao Xun'er, their figures quickly disappeared into the woods behind the mountain.

……

……

……

At this moment, in the Xiao family hall,
In the hall,
Xiao Zhan and the three elders were having a rather enthusiastic conversation with an unfamiliar old man.

The old man had a smile on his face and looked very energetic. On the chest of his robe was a crescent moon with seven golden stars around it, indicating that he was a powerful expert at the level of a seven-star Grand Dou Master.

However, the old man seemed to have something he was reluctant to say, and every time he was about to speak, he would swallow back his words with a sense of helplessness. And every time this happened, the delicate young woman in the distance couldn't help but glare at the old man.

"Yanran, is something on your mind?"

The elegantly dressed woman above seemed to notice the unusual behavior of the girl named Yanran and asked her with some concern.

Faced with Xiao's mother's gentle concern, Nalan Yanran returned the greeting with a slight smile, then lowered her head and avoided looking into the other person's eyes, seemingly unable to bear her concern. Her small hand secretly tugged at the old man Ge Ye beside her.

“Ahem, Clan Chief Xiao, I have come here today for two reasons.”

Ge Ye's expression turned serious as he continued, "Firstly, on behalf of the Yunlan Sect, I congratulate your family on your recent success in the competition in Wutan City. I believe that with the strength of the Xiao Clan, you will surely achieve glory again in the future."

Xiao Zhan smiled and thanked him, "Deacon Ge, you flatter me. I didn't expect such a small matter to spread so widely, haha..."

"Not at all, Clan Chief Xiao, you don't need to be so polite." Ge Ye waved his hand and continued, "Ahem, the second matter concerns Yanran."

"Moreover, it was the Sect Master himself who personally agreed to this matter..." The old man's tone became slightly solemn when he mentioned the name of the Sect Master.

Hearing this,

The Xiao Zhan couple above were both slightly stunned, and the Xiao family's senior members in the hall also suppressed their smiles.

Who is the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect? He is a Douhuang-level powerhouse in the entire empire! There are only a handful of Douhuang powerhouses in the entire empire, and each of them has the power to overturn the world. They are at the top of the food chain in this empire.

"Mr. Kuzuha, please speak!"

Xiao Zhan seemed to understand something, so he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, even changing his form of address.
