The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

"Brother Xiao Yan, is this your friend?"

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Jiang Nan spoke first.

He hugged Xiao Yan tightly.

“We’re not just ordinary friends, we’re best friends, the closest of friends. He even told me about how Xiao Yan sneaked into your room when he was five or six years old.”

Xun'er was slightly taken aback, then looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was instantly stunned.

A hundred thousand Cao Nima's are surging in my mind.

Xiao Yan: "No, Xun'er, let me explain."

Jiang Nan said with a wicked smile.

"Hehehe, Xun'er! Xiao Yan and I are so close we could share a pair of pants. He used to explain to me very carefully how to use Dou Qi to nourish myself..."

Xiao Yan, on the verge of tears, covered Jiang Nan's mouth.

Xun'er lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

"Brother Xiao Yan, why do you tell everyone everything? If you keep doing this, Xun'er will hate you."

"No, Sister Xun'er, I didn't say that."

Jiang Nan laughed heartily, "Let you investigate me."

"Boss, explain this to me!"

Xiao Yan was somewhat speechless.

Jiang Nan pried open Xiao Yan's hand that was covering himself.

"Hehehe, Xun'er, do you know what Xiao Yan and I are going to do? We're going to eat at an expensive restaurant, and Xiao Yan is treating us with his hard-earned savings. Hehehe, Xiao Yan has never treated you with his hard-earned savings before! The first time he treated me was Jiang Nan!"

Jiang Nan struck a cool yet flamboyant pose.

It's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Xiao Yan used most of his money for cultivation.

To be honest, I've never treated Xun'er to anything too expensive.

"Brother Xiao Yan!!!"

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with her puffed-out cheeks.

This girl is really funny; she gets angry at the slightest provocation.

Xiao Yan helplessly covered his forehead.

He finally understood why the people in the group said the group owner liked to cause trouble.

This person is someone who loves to stir up trouble.

Xiao Yan touched his money pouch.

Well, all the money I finally saved up is going to be gone today.

You can't expect the woman to pay for the meal when you're treating her!

Xun'er is a little rich girl.

However, for the sake of saving face, Xiao Yan had to use his own money bag.

So the three of them walked side by side on the street.

The people around were making a lot of noise.

Xun'er's gaze kept drifting towards Jiang Nan.

She felt that Jiang Nan's laughter sounded somewhat familiar.

It was like the laughter of some of the Soul Palace protectors.

That's really bad.

I must make Ling Ying investigate this thoroughly later.

If they're not good people, just find an opportunity to kill them.

But if I kill Brother Xiao Yan, won't he be angry?

Xun'er was troubled.

Jiang Nan watched with a smile as the girl struggled internally.

It was really interesting, really fun.

The surrounding markets were bustling with activity.

Because of the existence of battle qi, all daily necessities in this world revolve around battle qi.

Combat skills, cultivation techniques, magic cores, elixirs...

These things are circulating here.

Some bloodthirsty mercenaries often come and go from here.

They would buy some simple healing pills and then sell the magic cores they obtained in the Monster Forest.

The Demon Core is a unique energy crystal found only in the Dou Qi Continent.

These energy cores can be used in medicine and alchemy, or to make weapons. Only powerful magical beasts have these magical cores.

Xiao Yan doesn't even have enough money to buy a decent first-tier magic core right now.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Xiao Yan became even more determined to become an alchemist.

Xiao Yan led the group through several turns on the street and entered a medium-sized market town in the city.

This is a market town controlled by the Xiao family.

In present-day Wutan City, three powerful families control all the markets, large and small.

The Xiao family is one of them.

The guards at the entrance of the market clearly recognized Xiao Yan and Xun'er.

"Greetings, Third Young Master, and Miss Xun'er."

The guard said very respectfully.

Xiao Yan nodded and spoke.

"You have worked hard."

"It's no trouble at all, Young Master Xiao Yan."

Xun'er smiled and waved to the guards.

Jiang Nan glanced at the guards.

In his eyes, these people were all a bit weak.

It's roughly at the level of a Fighter.

Jiang Nan hadn't really paid attention to how many stars it was.

After all, a few stars in the Fighter class are too low for him.

"Then let's go in first."

Xiao Yan led the two into the market.

Several guards watched the three figures gradually disappear into the distance and spoke up.

"The Third Young Master is still as gentle as ever. It's just a pity that such a good young man's cultivation is so lacking."

The three arrived at a restaurant in the market.

The restaurant was bustling with activity, as many armored mercenaries drank heartily.

Xiao Yan approached the counter and spoke.

"Boss, are there any private rooms available?"

Chapter 213, The Aura of Pride

Xiao Yan never puts on airs.

These are also some habits he brought from modern society.

The front desk owner checked the information.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, there is only one large room left upstairs."

Xiao Yan hesitated.

A bigger room means more money.

But then I looked at Xun'er, who was smiling.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and decided to just spend the money.

"Okay, boss, this is the one."

The boss nodded and took out a pen to write it down in the ledger.

At this moment, Jiang Nan's gaze fell on the menu behind the owner.

Many Warcraft creatures can also be used as ingredients in cooking.

Having grown accustomed to chicken, duck, fish, and beef, he wanted to try something different this time.

I wonder which tastes better, the meat from Warcraft or the meat from beef and mutton?

Jiang Nan unconsciously licked his lips as he thought of this.

He couldn't wait any longer.
