Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 96 Save Me!

The two beauties before me were one older and one younger. The older woman possessed a dignified and noble air, her long black hair styled in an elegant phoenix hair ornament, her beautiful face serene and captivating. 🐤🍟 ➅➈ⓢнυ𝓧.℃ⓞ๓ 💘💜

Even a loose, moon-white robe couldn't hide her exquisite figure.

The younger one had a slightly aloof expression, and her hair, which was not styled, hung down to her waist. Compared to the teacher next to her, she was more like a flower bud about to bloom, but she already had the beginnings of a stunning beauty.

The appearance of such a stunning master and disciple pair made even the bright moonlight seem dimmed.

Even many prominent figures in the capital were captivated by the scene before them.

It's hard to imagine what a blessing it would be for someone to have both a master and a disciple at the same time.

"Your eyes are about to pop out," Ya Fei said jealously, and Xiao Yan slowly came back to his senses.

At this moment, the master and disciple also came to Xiao Yan together.

"Brother Xiao Yan, we meet again." Nalan Yanran's tone was very unnatural. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to address Xiao Yan in this way.

After all, although breaking off the engagement was somewhat awkward, Xiao Yan had already minimized the conflict, and the two sides wouldn't just meet without exchanging greetings.

"Sister Yanran, you've come too." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile. His current appearance and temperament were indeed enough to make many women's hearts flutter, and even Nalan Yanran felt something indescribable about him.

Humans can't possibly feel aversion towards things or people that are beautiful.

"This is my teacher," Nalan Yanran said, pointing to the elegant and noble beauty beside her.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, hello. I am Yun Yun, the current sect leader of the Yunlan Sect." Yun Yun's pretty face showed an elegant smile.

"So you're the Yunlan Sect Master, I never expected you to be such a beautiful woman." Xiao Yan shook hands with Yun Yun, his hand feeling smooth and warm.

Although he had designs on this sect leader, Xiao Yan didn't show any lecherous behavior in public; instead, he behaved with great composure.

"I heard in the sect that Mr. Xiao Yan had remarkable cultivation at such a young age, but I never expected him to be this strong. I hope Mr. Xiao Yan can visit Yunlan Sect when he has time."

Yun Yun's smile was calm and elegant, possessing an indescribable beauty.

"Sure, I'll definitely visit Yunlan Sect when I have time." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.

"I think there's no time like the present, let's come tomorrow." Yun Yun smiled gently, but there was a hint of anxiety deep in her beautiful eyes.

"Hmm? Something's not right." Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

"According to the original story, this beautiful sect leader shouldn't be that kind of person. Besides, she seems a little anxious."

However, Yun Yun was one of his targets. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Alright, in that case, I will go to your sect tomorrow to see for myself."

"Then I will await Mr. Xiao Yan's good news." Yun Yun chuckled, concealing the anxiety in her eyes, and left with Nalan Yanran.

"Something's not right. There's something strange about Yun Yun." After the master and apprentice left, Ya Fei's face showed a hint of doubt.

"How so?" Xiao Yan glanced at her.

"This Sect Master Yunyun is different from Yaoye. She is not a very ambitious person. In my understanding, she would not deliberately flatter you because of your status."

Ya Fei shook her head.

"Perhaps she's encountered some trouble." Xiao Yan nodded and smiled slightly.

"It's good to encounter trouble. If there were no trouble, how would I have gotten to date this beautiful sect leader?"

"Are you tempted?" Ya Fei glanced at him.

"Hehe." Xiao Yan just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

A hint of sadness flashed in Ya Fei's eyes, but she didn't say anything more.

She is a smart woman who knows what she should and shouldn't want.

Noticing her expression, Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but simply squeezed her hand gently.

"Teacher, are we going to invite him to the Yunlan Sect tomorrow?" Nalan Yanran asked with a complicated expression as she watched Xiao Yan joking with Ya Fei in the distance.

"Yes." A hint of fatigue appeared between Yun Yun's brows. This was the first time she had met Xiao Yan, and asking for a favor was not easy for someone as gentle as her.

But thinking of her teacher's life, which was as fleeting as a dying lamp, she still had to do this.

"I really can't understand how this young man could have such strength. What kind of terrifying power is behind him?" Yun Yun looked at the young man in white robes in the distance, a hint of curiosity showing in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

This boy, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, occasionally exuded an aura that even she found dangerous.

"If only I had enough strength or other methods to help the teacher." Looking at Yun Yun's appearance, Nalan Yanran sighed in her heart.

Suddenly, she thought of the large rock on the mountain where she cultivated.

"Hehe, everyone, please enjoy your meal. In ten days, I will arrange an auction. You are all welcome to come and support me. The treasures there will surely satisfy you."

During the banquet, Xiao Yan smiled and clinked glasses with several top figures from the empire.

These people's cultivation levels are at least at the Dou Wang realm. If they are lower, Xiao Yan really wouldn't bother getting to know them, unless they are exceptionally beautiful women.

However, even though he didn't toast with these people, they didn't dare to complain in the slightest. Didn't they see that Jia Xingtian was obediently toasting Xiao Yan?

Being able to see the royal patriarch toast a young boy makes this banquet worthwhile.

At the same time, they also confirmed one thing: this young man with terrifying energy was indeed supporting the Mittel family, or more precisely, supporting Ya Fei.

Indeed, there is a connection between the Nalan family and this young man.

Everyone understood that the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the Gama Empire would likely begin to slowly change with a single thought from this young man.

As the banquet, which concealed countless pieces of information, came to an end, Nalan Yanran returned to Yunlan Sect with Yun Yun.

The bright moon and gentle breeze dispersed the mist that perpetually shrouded the Yunlan Sect, causing the forest in the mountains to rustle softly.

The moonlight spilled across the mountains, like a layer of cool silver light.

Nalan Yanran moved gracefully to the large stone where she usually practiced, but this time, she dared not sit on it.

"Hehehe, little girl, you're here again." With a strange laugh, the face of an old woman reappeared on the boulder.

"Why should I believe you?" Nalan Yanran's face still showed wariness.

"There's no reason why. If you want to gain even greater power, do you have a better choice than me?" The old woman smiled.

"Then how can I get you out of here?" Nalan Yanran asked.

"All you need to do is find a soul stone." As if seeing that Nalan Yanran was tempted, the old woman revealed a smug look in her eyes, but the next moment, her face suddenly changed.

"Don't listen to her," a similarly aged voice rang out.

"Damn it, it's been hundreds of years, how come you're still not completely dead!" the old woman cursed, as if trying to use her soul power to suppress the voice.

"I am Yun Potian, save me! Save me!" The aged voice only rang out briefly before fading away, as if it had just been an illusion.

But Nalan Yanran knew that this was not an illusion.

A chill rose from the bottom of her heart, making her scalp tingle slightly.

Some readers have commented that there have been too many harem scenes lately, and I will make some adjustments. However, there are so many beautiful women in the Northwest Continent. Can I let them go? Can Xiao Yan let them go?

The answer is obviously no.

The main storyline of the Northwest Continent arc revolves around the harem and the strange fire, though there will also be some unexpected little twists and turns.

A thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlets, and I can't please everyone. But if you find this story enjoyable, please give it a try.
