Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 94 Banquet

"Who goes there!" Nalan Yanran tensed up, her sharp eyes scanning her surroundings.

The Yunlan Sect's defenses were quite tight, yet someone still managed to sneak in.

"Hehehe, no need to look anymore, I'm under your butt." An old voice rang out from under Nalan Yanran, causing her to spring up like a startled kitten, landing on the ground and looking warily at the large rock in front of her.

A moment later, an aged face appeared on the surface of the boulder.

It was an old woman's face, covered with strange runes and deep wrinkles; she didn't look like a good person at all.

"Little girl, you look troubled." The old woman looked at Nalan Yanran with a strange smile on her face.

"It seems you've encountered an insurmountable peer, and you seem to have a close relationship with him, which is causing you distress and even resentment. Am I right?"

A smile appeared on the old woman's face.

"What's it to you?" Nalan Yanran still looked at the old woman coldly.

"What's the connection? As long as you can rescue me, I can pass on all my knowledge to you. That way, you'll have a chance to surpass that boy you mentioned," the old woman said with a smile.

"You've got quite the nerve, but how can you help me? My opponent is a genius so powerful it's almost despair-inducing."

Nalan Yanran shook her head again. With her abundant resources, she was not tempted by this.

"Heh heh, how strong can a genius from such a remote and impoverished place be? Without the guidance and resources of a true master, even if you are a genius, the Dou Zong level is your limit."

"Little girl, if you just promise me, becoming a Dou Zong will no longer be your limit, but your starting point, okay?"

The old woman gave a seductive smile.

"You've got quite the nerve. What level of expert are you to dare make such boastful claims?" Nalan Yanran remained unmoved.

"In my previous life, I was Hun Chen, an elder of the Soul Clan, and I was only one step away from becoming a Half-Saint. But it's no use telling you all this. I am a Nine-Star Dou Zun. Do you understand?"

The old woman looked at Nalan Yanran.

"Nine-Star Dou Zun!" A look of shock finally appeared on Nalan Yanran's face. What was wrong with her lately? She had encountered such a powerful figure time and time again.

"How about it?" As long as you rescue me, I will take you as my disciple and teach you Earth-rank cultivation techniques so that you can surpass that peer who seems unattainable to you as soon as possible.

The old woman made a seductive sound.

Nalan Yanran's expression shifted, but she ultimately did not agree. Instead, she said softly, "I'll think about it."

After that, they quietly left.

After she left, the old woman revealed a cold smile.

"You're quite wary, little girl. But can you really resist such temptation? Sooner or later, I'll possess you, hehehe!"

Ever since Xiao Wu's battle qi avatar shocked the entire capital, all forces have focused their attention on the guest from the Nalan family. However, after much probing, they discovered that the guest's real residence was actually in the Mittel family.

"According to you, this young man not only had a close relationship with the Nalan family, but also had an ambiguous relationship with Ya Fei of the Mittel family."

And that powerful figure who manifested as a battle aura that day was actually just his protector?

Deep within the palace, the royal patriarch, Jia Xingtian, gazed upon the alluring beauty before him.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing an exquisite light armor that accentuated her stunning figure, drawing attention from all around.

His bright eyes were full of energy, and one could even vaguely see a hint of ambition in them.

Jia Yaoye, the eldest princess of the empire, has already reached the Douling level before the age of thirty. She is now an important figure in the imperial military. Deeply favored by Jia Xingtian, she seems to have the potential to become one of the few empresses in the history of the Jia Ma Empire.

"Yes, Ancestor." Yao Ye nodded slightly.

"My men have confirmed through various channels that a few days ago, a young man named Xiao Yan came to the capital with Ya Fei and then entered the Mittel family."

Shortly after he joined the Mittel family, the Mittel family's council of elders underwent a dramatic change. Many people who had offended Ya Fei in the past now voluntarily relinquished their power and retired to live out their retirement.

Meanwhile, the guards of the Mittel family witnessed Elder Raou being easily reduced to nothingness by an old man.

After that, many people saw Ya Fei take the boy to the Mittel family.

Yao Ye's voice carried a subtle hint of authority.

Jia Xingtian nodded slightly.

He could easily kill a Dou Ling expert, but he was still lacking in skill if he could turn them into nothingness before they could even react.

Based on the boy's behavior over the past few days, it's almost certain that this is the person they're looking for.

"In the few days since this young man arrived in the capital, he has completely changed the fate of two families." Jia Xingtian sighed softly, looking at his highly regarded descendant.

"Is there any way to win over that young man?" With the arrival of this young man, the Mittel and Nalan families will likely soon be able to ride roughshod over the royal family.

If that's the case, the Gama Empire will likely change hands in less than a century.

Yao Ye thought for a moment, then suddenly bit her red lips and said, "That young man seems to be a bit lecherous."

Jia Xingtian was taken aback, then glanced at Yao Ye with a hint of helplessness.

"Child, what are you thinking?"

"First, invite him out for a meal and talk to him to see what kind of person he really is. Then we can proceed gradually."

Yao Ye said expressionlessly.

"What if this boy is truly a lecherous man?" Jia Xingtian looked at the outstanding descendant before him.

"If that's the case, if Ya Fei can take him down, so can I." Yao Ye's face flushed slightly, but her expression was firm.

"Child, just do what you can. Sometimes, don't be too obsessed with power; strength is what matters." Jia Xingtian suddenly sighed.

Besides the royal family, various forces, large and small, in the capital, and even those from other empires, also discovered clues about Xiao Yan's whereabouts, and invitations were sent to the Mittel family one after another.

In the courtyard of the Mittel family, Xiao Yan sat in a small pavilion, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Beside him, Ya Fei, unusually dressed in a relaxed white robe, sat down to make tea.

At this moment, she no longer possessed her usual alluring charm. Her long black hair was gently piled up, leaving only a strand hanging over her forehead, giving her a unique flavor.

But no matter how she dresses up, she can't hide her natural beauty.

"Look, these are all invitations to banquets sent to you." Ya Fei looked at the thick stack of exquisite envelopes on the table with a headache.

Her internal fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger. In just two nights, she had gone from a three-star Dou Zhe to a one-star Dou Shi. However, after reaching the Dou Shi level, the speed of her dual cultivation was no longer as fast as before.

Even so, Ya Fei was already quite satisfied, since she could feel her battle qi rapidly increasing simply by lying down, crouching, or sitting.

"Then you can hold a banquet in the name of the Mittel family. That way, I won't have to attend them all." Xiao Yan smiled gently.

Ya Fei suddenly stopped, and her gaze towards him softened.
