In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 78 Xiao Yan: Ran-ge, just wait for your backyard to catch fire! Hahaha!

However, this Rejuvenating Purple Elixir might come in handy later.

At that time, he might be able to exchange the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame from the angel investor, and then resell them to Xiao Yan, making a small profit as a middleman.

As each member of the Xiao family finished their tests...

However, what puzzled Xiao Yan and the others who came to witness the ceremony was that...

It seems that Xiao Zhan did not intend to have the young couple standing on the sidelines go on stage for this test.

Xiao Yan frowned.

What's going on? Why aren't Ran-ge and Ran-sao allowed to take the test on stage?

Just then, the Grand Elder stepped forward and made the announcement.

"Thank you, guests. The coming-of-age ceremony test for the members of the Xiao family has now concluded."

"Wait a minute!"

Just then, a voice that seemed somewhat out of place came from the viewing platform.

Sitting in the chair, Xiao Zhan turned his head and saw that it was the patriarch of the Oba family, Obapa.

Although he was displeased, in front of all the powerful clans of Wutan City, Xiao Zhan still smiled and looked at Obapa, asking,

"Chief Oba, what advice do you have for me?"

Obapa stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a smile,

"No, no, I'm just wondering why Xiao Ran, the Xiao family's genius, wasn't seen taking the test at the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Was he expelled from the Xiao family, or was he simply not qualified for the test?"

"Your family's actions have truly made us feel indignant on behalf of our young friend Xiao Ran."

This is blatant provocation.

What business is it of the Obama family what the Xiao family does?

Most people test the waters with stones, but this guy threw out a huge, long, thick, smelly, and hard stone to disgust people.

Xiao Yan, sitting in the audience, also frowned.

Just then, the voice of the old medicine master came to his ears.

"Little Yanzi, be careful, the Obama family is up to something!"

Xiao Yan nodded almost imperceptibly, then turned his gaze to the edge of the arena.

Seeing that Brother Ran and Sister-in-law Ran were smiling and holding hands, completely unmoved by the scene before them.

While feeling relieved, he also cursed himself for glancing at her.

At the same time, he was secretly annoyed, as he had hardly eaten in recent days.

Because the amount of dog food that Ran Ge and Ran Sao feed them every day is enough to make them feel stuffed.

No, I can't go on like this anymore.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's eyes glanced at the red-clad girl who had just stepped off the stage and was staring longingly at Ran Ge.

With a quick glance, an idea suddenly came to mind!

He thought to himself, "Since you're feeding me dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), don't blame me for finding you a few more 'Ran wives' (wives/partners). Just wait and see if your backyard will be in trouble!"

"Hehehe! Let's see how you try to feed me dog food now!"

Xiao Zhan said with a forced smile,

"Ran'er is my adopted son, so he is naturally a member of my Xiao family."

"As for why no test is needed, it's because, after discussion among the elders of our Xiao family, it has been decided to bestow upon Xiao Ran the title of Honorary Elder of the Xiao family!"

"According to the rules of my Xiao family, elders are naturally not required to participate in the various assessments and tests of the clan."

"Chief Oba, do you have any further questions?"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's mocking tone, Obapa cursed Xiao Zhan inwardly for being cunning and treacherous.

What a load of rubbish about being an honorary elder; they clearly don't want them to know the level and cultivation of the Xiao family's most talented person.

But he still kept smiling and forcing a smile.

"How dare I! I was being presumptuous."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Zhan and slowly sat down.

After this incident,

Even if others had their own questions, no one else brought them up.

You can't just go up to him and ask, "What level is Xiao Ran at now?"

The coming-of-age ceremony for the Xiao family has officially come to a close.

Xiao Ran pulled Xiao Xun'er to her feet.

"Let's go, Xun'er, didn't we agree to have barbecue outside the city today?"

"We just hunted a Tier 2 demonic sheep a few days ago, how about we treat you to some delicious roasted lamb skewers?"

"Okay!"

Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes immediately curved into two crescent moons.

at this time,

A fragrant breeze wafted towards me.

Xiao Ran looked at that delicate face, paused slightly, and then asked with a smile,

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with, Cousin Xiao Mei?"

Xiao Mei bit her lip lightly.

"Cousin Xiao Ran, my father will be teaching advanced Yellow-rank combat techniques at the combat arena tomorrow. Are you coming along?"

Although Xiao Mei is young, her face exudes both charm and innocence, making her truly captivating.

Before Xiao Ran could speak...

A pair of slender, fair, and delicate wrists reached out from the side and tightly wrapped around his arm.

Xiao Xun'er affectionately linked her arm with Xiao Ran's, a slight hint of apology on her delicate face.

"Actually, I'm sorry, Cousin Xiao Mei. Xun'er has already invited Brother Xiao Ran to accompany me to Wutan City tomorrow, so she probably won't be able to go to the Arena with you."

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, Xiao Ran turned to look at her in astonishment.

Unexpectedly, she had become a master of tea ceremony without anyone noticing.

Just when everyone thought Xiao Mei would give up, they heard her say happily,

"Cousin Xiao Ran, is the day after tomorrow okay?"

Before Xiao Ran could speak, Xiao Xun'er dragged him away.

"I'm sorry, Cousin Xiao Mei, Brother Xiao Ran will be spending all his days with Xun'er this month!"

"Why don't you go and see your cousin Xiao Yan?"

Hearing someone call his name, Xiao Yan quickly turned his head.

Upon seeing such a hilarious scene, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately lit up.

He walked quickly toward Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei gazed at the slightly disheveled figure being dragged along, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

At that moment, a voice came from beside Xiao Mei.

"Cousin Xiao Mei, would you like to know what kind of girl Ran-ge likes?"

Xiao Mei frowned slightly, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Xiao Yan.

He asked, somewhat surprised and uncertain, "Why are you asking this?"

Xiao Yan gave a mysterious smile.

He lowered his voice and said, "I can tell that you're very interested in Ran-ge right now."

"But he's not someone who likes to take initiative or cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei's eyes lit up immediately.

He hurriedly asked Xiao Yan, "Could you tell me more about my cousin Xiao Ran?"

"If you can help me achieve my wish, I will definitely thank you properly."

Xiao Yan was speechless, never expecting Xiao Mei to be so blunt.

However, if we can cause some trouble for Brother Ran and make his backyard fall into chaos.

Just thinking about that scene is exciting.

So, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he said,

"Cousin Xiao Mei, I understand how you feel."

"But let me ask you, haven't you been constantly trying to contact Ran-ge, and he's always been unresponsive?"

Xiao Mei nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"That's right, that's exactly it! Why is that?"

Xiao Yan smiled smugly.

"Cousin Xiao Mei, you only know how to show your most beautiful side, but you don't know that your charm seems to be..."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, a hint of melancholy flashed in Xiao Mei's eyes, and she slowly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly said, "Actually, there is a way to solve this!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yan with delight.

Xiao Yan muttered a few words, then suddenly saw a figure. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly chased after it.

Xiao Yan's words were still echoing in Xiao Mei's mind.

Just now.

A tall, slender girl, dressed in what appeared to be a school uniform, walked briskly towards them.

The girl had a long sword at her waist. She was tall and slender, but what was most striking were her long, shapely legs.

Xiao Mei's eyes lit up when she saw the girl.

"Sister Xiao Yu, why are you back? Weren't you studying at Canaan Academy?"
