Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Just as Xiao Yan thought Naruto's suggestion might be feasible and was about to agree,

Lin Dong suddenly sent a message in the group chat that clearly contained a reminder.

[Lin Dong: Fourth Brother, don't rush to agree to Naruto's request. I suggest you think it over carefully. If you really make Naruto look like you to keep the appointment, what if he... well, uses some 'special' tricks? Your reputation as the 'Flame Emperor' will be ruined in the Dou Qi Continent.]

Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition surged up within him.

[Xiao Yan: Fifth Brother, what do you mean by that? Nalan Yanran is only a Great Dou Shi. Even if Naruto and his brother are weaker, they shouldn't be unable to defeat her, right? Besides, I've already considered their safety. I can have Feng Xian secretly follow them. With his Dou Zun strength, he can definitely ensure Naruto and his brother's safety.]

Xiao Yan felt that his arrangements should be fine.

He didn't know why Lin Dong said that.

[Lin Dong: Fourth Brother, I'm not worried about Naruto not being able to win, I'm worried about how he'll win. Have you forgotten? What move did he use against the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the Monster Mountain Range last time?]

Warcraft Mountains?

Amethyst Winged Lion King?
Xiao Yan was stunned at first, and then a painful memory suddenly rushed into his mind, making his brain buzz and almost crash!

He remembered that Naruto Uzumaki seemed to have used the Transformation Jutsu to transform into a charming lioness, and then he was posing and flirting with the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The scene was so beautiful that he almost spat out his dinner from the night before.

Given Naruto's personality, if the other person were to transform into his likeness and go to the Cloud Mist Sect for the appointment...

At that time, the opponent might be driven to desperation during their duel with Nalan Yanran, or they might simply use that move on a whim...

He might really end up ruined.

Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan gasped sharply.

No!

Absolutely not!

This isn't going to keep an appointment; it's clearly going to destroy our own Great Wall.

[Xiao Yan: @NarutoUzumaki, Naruto-bro, well~ I appreciate your kindness, but regarding keeping the appointment... I think we should reconsider. I'm very grateful for your enthusiasm, but really, there's no need for you to trouble yourself!]

Xiao Yan quickly sent a message to Naruto Uzumaki in the group chat!
[Naruto Uzumaki: Huh? Why, Brother Xiao Yan? Don't you trust me? Don't worry, I promise I won't use the Sexy Jutsu this time. I'll fight her with the proper Rasengan and taijutsu!]

Naruto Uzumaki felt a little wronged and quickly defended himself.

[Xiao Yan: No, no, no, it's not that I don't trust you. Naruto, you're great, absolutely fantastic. It's my own fault. The battle situation changes in an instant; no one knows what will happen. What if Nalan Yanran is hiding her strength, or what if the Yunlan Sect has some underhanded tricks to put you in danger? Then I would be in grave danger!]

Xiao Yan spoke rapidly, trying to find a reason, but what he was thinking was: I would rather be scolded for breaking my promise than let you go to Yunlan Sect with my face on your back and "show off your supernatural powers". The consequences would be a million times worse than being defeated by Nalan Yanran!
Naruto wanted to try again, but Xiao Yan's second comment was posted before him:
[Xiao Yan: It's settled then, Naruto-kun. I'll remember your kindness and treat you to dinner another day, but for now, the appointment is on hold!]

Xiao Yan directly cut off Naruto's words.

The others in the group watched this sudden turn of events. Although they weren't quite sure what Xiao Yan had connected it to, judging from Xiao Yan's almost terrified reaction, this Uzumaki Naruto seemed to be a rather unserious guy.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have given their tactics such vulgar names as 'seduction technique' or 'beast seduction technique'.

Just as the atmosphere in the group was getting a little tense, Lin Dong's comments reappeared in the chat group.

[Lin Dong: @Xiao Yan, Fourth Brother, don't be too anxious. Actually, I don't think your three-year agreement is as complicated as you think. You're just temporarily tied up, not like you're never going.] [Xiao Yan: What's your good idea? Tell me quickly!]

Lin Dong: It's simple, aren't you afraid of losing face by standing someone up?

Then we'll send someone to Yunlan Sect to deliver a message to you.

You say that you are currently in a critical period of seclusion and breakthrough, and are unable to keep your appointment on time. You request that the duel be postponed for a few days.

This demonstrates that you are not afraid to fight and break your promise, while also avoiding the various risks that may arise from hastily finding a replacement.

Wouldn't it be better to finish your business at the Ancient Emperor Cave first, then head over there properly and honorably?

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up immediately after reading Lin Dong's comments!
Yup!

Why did I get so caught up in this?
It's common for men and women to be late for dates.

The same principle applies to challenging someone to a duel.

Moreover, he wasn't late or stood up; he simply postponed the duel time by a little.

[Xiao Yan: Great idea, Fifth Brother! I didn't expect your mind to be so sharp today; you actually came up with this idea!]

Xiao Yan made the decision instantly, his mood brightening considerably.

[Xiao Yan: By the way, who should I send to deliver the message? As for Naruto and his brother, forget it… my older brother's too busy. Does anyone have time to help me?]

[Lin Dong: Don't call anyone, I'll go for you. I recently broke through my cultivation level and wanted to stretch my muscles. Besides, I'm your brother, so I'm qualified to deliver a message on your behalf, right? Don't worry, I'm just delivering a message and conveying your message. I definitely won't cause any trouble unless they make the first move...]

Lin Dong volunteered in the group chat.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan felt that Lin Dong was indeed a suitable candidate.

This kid is capable enough and has the right background. Although he's impulsive, he should be able to handle a small task like delivering a message.

[Xiao Yan: Alright! Then I'll trouble you to make the trip, Fifth Brother. When you arrive at the Yunlan Sect, you can reveal your identity directly. Just say you're my brother, Xiao Yan. They'll know who you are then. Also... when you speak to them, be a little polite, but don't lose your assertiveness. We'll discuss everything after I get there...]

Xiao Yan gave Lin Dong some instructions regarding the arrangements for the meeting in the group chat.

He explained everything that needed to be explained.

[Lin Dong: Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I'll take care of this. Open the dimensional portal quickly, I'll deliver the message right away!]

Lin Dong readily agreed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan didn't think much of it and decisively opened a dimensional portal for Lin Dong.

next second.

Lin Dong's figure then appeared beside Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan gave him the address of the Yunlan Sect and gave him two bottles of pills as a thank you gift.

After obtaining the address, Lin Dong immediately rushed to the Jia Ma Empire!
