Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

A childish voice rang out from the scene.

Apart from Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, everyone's expression visibly turned ugly.

Several people in the crowd even left the spot instantly, no longer having any intention of staying to watch the show.

Xiao Fan looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a girl in a white dress squeezing in.

"Why is it her!"

Lin Yan, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment when he saw Zi Yan. He then looked at Xiao Fan, but did not run away. Instead, he stood a little closer to Xiao Fan.

"Zi Yan?"

Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised to see Zi Yan here, then smiled and said to her, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course, this is a place for cultivation!"

Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Xiao Fan, then walked up to him with a serious expression, raised her chin at Liu Qing, and said arrogantly, "What, are you going to bully Xiao Fan?"

Upon seeing Zi Yan appear, a hint of apprehension flashed across Liu Qing's face. He hadn't expected that this brute force king would actually step forward to protect Xiao Fan.

Frowning slightly, Liu Qing forced a smile and said to Zi Yan, "Senior Sister Zi Yan, you've misunderstood. It's just a misunderstanding."

A tall, robust young man who had just exuded a sharp and domineering aura was now respectfully addressing a girl who only reached his waist and looked to be twelve or thirteen years old as "senior sister."

A fawning smile appeared on his face, a sight that astonished both Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan.

However, to the students around him, all of this seemed to be taken for granted, and no one thought there was anything wrong with Liu Qing's attitude.

Even Yao Sheng, who had just expressed great admiration for Liu Qing, shrank back into the crowd after seeing Zi Yan, not daring to show his face.

"Hey, didn't I tell you I'm protecting you? If anyone bullies you, you tell me!"

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, turned around and said angrily to Xiao Fan, "I'll stand up for you and teach them a lesson."

Hearing Zi Yan's words, the people around looked at Xiao Fan with resentment.

If you had told me earlier that you knew the little witch, who would have watched your show!

On the other side, Liu Qing frowned slightly upon hearing Zi Yan's words.

If Xiao Fan really reveals his true intentions, then he'll have no choice but to fight Zi Yan right here.

Considering Zi Yan's strange strength, even Liu Qing didn't want to confront her at this time.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Fan, curious about his response.

"Hehe." Xiao Fan reached out and ruffled Zi Yan's hair, his tone full of affection.

"Don't worry, no one can bully me."

Everyone stared blankly at Xiao Fan's hand on Zi Yan's head, even Liu Qing was no exception.

Zi Yan hates it when people touch her head, which is common knowledge in the inner courtyard.

Seeing that Xiao Fan had actually violated Zi Yan's taboo in front of everyone, everyone was filled with anticipation.

"Go ahead and beat this guy to a pulp!"

"He touched your head, go punch him!"

However... what everyone expected did not happen. Zi Yan simply shook her head, and when she saw that she couldn't shake Xiao Fan's hand off, she didn't care.

She just looked at Xiao Fan and said in a childish voice, "I don't care, even if I didn't help you, you still have to make pills for me."

"OK, no problem."

Xiao Fan said nonchalantly.

Xiao Fan truly doted on Zi Yan as if she were a younger sister. She looked delicate, was easy to fool... cough cough... and was cute.

What grown man could resist a sister like that?

Liu Qing was somewhat surprised that Xiao Fan hadn't complained to Zi Yan, and his opinion of Xiao Fan improved somewhat.

After giving Xiao Fan a deep look, he turned and left with Yao Sheng and the others behind him.

Seeing that Liu Qing and the others had already left, and with Zi Yan around, the onlookers had no desire to stay any longer. Otherwise, if they accidentally offended this young lady, they would really be in trouble.

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes.

After the crowd had left, Xiao Fan looked at Lin Yan, who was standing beside him with a wry smile, patted him on the shoulder, glanced at Zi Yan suspiciously, and asked, "Is Zi Yan really that scary? Isn't she quite cute?"

cute?

Seeing the genuine expression on Xiao Fan's face, and glancing at Zi Yan so close to him, Lin Yan dared not utter a single bad word. He could only mutter a curse in his heart while saying aloud, "Ah, yes, yes, you're right!"

Then, with a hint of curiosity, Lin Yan asked Xiao Fan how he and Zi Yan met.

He wanted to see if he could improve his relationship with Zi Yan.

If he manages to latch onto such a powerful figure, he'll have plenty to brag about in the future.

Upon hearing that Xiao Fan had won Zi Yan's heart by refining pills, Lin Yan looked helpless.

All I could do was shout in my heart: Alchemists really can do whatever they want!

Seeing the rich expressions on Lin Yan's face, Xiao Fan naturally couldn't believe that Lin Yan had thought about so much in such a short time.

Looking around at the training rooms, he asked Lin Yan curiously, "Are all the training rooms here open to anyone? Are there any requirements?"

Xiao Fan certainly knew that the training rooms here were related to the rankings on the leaderboard, but since it was his first time here, he couldn't very well act like he knew everything.

Besides, Xiao Fan wasn't sure if this rule was truly fixed in this way.

"Of course there are requirements."

Lin Yan looked at Xiao Fan, then pointed to the surrounding training rooms and said, "You can train freely in any of these training rooms, but it depends on your ranking on the Power Ranking."

"Rankings on the leaderboard?"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask, "So, each training room here is assigned according to ranking?"

"Yes."

Lin Yan nodded, then raised his head.

"I'm currently ranked ninth on the Strongest Ranking, so my training room is over there." Lin Yan pointed to a spot in the center not far away, and then to one of the training rooms with a large "nine" mark on it.

"As for you, your rankings on the power list are forty-third and thirty-seventh, that's all."

Lin Yan looked around for a moment, then pointed to two cultivation rooms not far away and said to Xiao Fan and the other person.

These two training rooms are located further away from the central area than the training rooms Lin Yan and the others had just been in, so it's easy to see that the training effects must be different.

"Don't be envious. According to the rankings, the cultivation speed in my training room should be two or three times faster than yours!"

Lin Yan looked at the expressions on Xiao Fan and the other person's faces and appeared quite pleased.

Finally, Xiao Fan got his comeuppance. That feels good.

"Xiao Fan, do you want to cultivate? You can come to my cultivation room!"

Hearing the discussion, Zi Yan's childish voice rang out again. Looking at Xiao Fan, she said calmly, "My training room is two or three times faster than his!"

Zi Yan stood with her hands on her hips and glanced at Lin Yan indifferently.

Lin Yan's expression instantly froze.

"Haven't you been practicing lately?"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Fan asked a question.

"It's nothing, I basically won't be using it anyway."

Zi Yan waved her hand dismissively and spoke.

"Then... can he cultivate in your training room for a while?"

Xiao Fan gently turned Zi Yan's head, directing her gaze to Xiao Yan, and softly asked, "His cultivation is about to break through recently. Can he cultivate with you for a while?"

Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, was also shocked that Xiao Fan would do such a thing.

"Senior brother...I..."

"sure."

Zi Yan nodded, then her chubby cheeks pouting as Xiao Fan pinched her cheeks, and her voice became somewhat muffled.

"But you need to make me some more small pills!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Fan affectionately ruffled Zi Yan's hair, then told Xiao Yan to go directly to Zi Yan's cultivation room to cultivate.

"Where are you, senior brother?"

Xiao Yan frowned and asked when he saw that Xiao Fan had given him the first training room.

"Don't worry, that's exactly what you need right now. Go and cultivate. I don't plan to cultivate here for the time being."

Xiao Fan shook his head and said to Xiao Yan.

This wasn't him lying to Xiao Yan.

He really doesn't dare to cultivate here now.

He still remembered his experience in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. At that time, he was absolutely certain that the Fallen Heart Flame was aimed at him.
