The Battle Through Heaven
Early Forms of Faction
Xiao Yan's eyes slowly swept over the medicinal ingredients recorded in the scroll. He nodded a moment later and descended into deep thought after returning the scroll to the ring. These medicinal ingredients are quite rare. Most likely someone would spend quite a lot of time to gather them all. It seemed like he needed to look for Old Hai regarding the matter involving these medicinal ingredients. Being the owner of the largest auction house in the empire, it naturally had a very rich store. Although these medicinal ingredients were rare, it should be possible to gather some of them.
Xiao Yan sighed in relief when he thought of this. He flipped his body and descended from the stone bed before slowly exiting the room.
He had just walked out of the room when a female servant, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed forward. Afterwards, he spoke respectfully, ‘’Three Young Masters, First Young Master said to invite you to the living room if you come out of the room.’
Xiao Yan nodded slightly after hearing this. He waved his hand to dismiss the female servant before stepping into the living room.
Xiao Yan appeared outside the living room after about ten minutes. He heard the voices of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li being transmitted from within. There was also the voice of a familiar woman in this place. After identifying it, Xiao Yan was clear that/that the person inside seemed to be the eldest daughter of Yao Ye from the imperial family.
” What is he doing here? ” Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes before pushing the door to enter.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li chatted and smiled with Yao Ye in the living room. They raised their gazes when they heard the sound of the door being pushed, only to see Xiao Yan enter. The smile on their faces became much denser.
’Ke Ke, Mister Xiao Yan, it really isn't easy to see you. Yao Ye had come several times during these few days but only managed to meet you this time. ’’ A small smile appeared on the pretty face of Yao Ye when she saw Xiao Yan enter. He stood up and joked with the first one.
Xiao Yan smiled. His eyes made contact with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. After which, he found a chair beside the two of them and sat down before speaking with a smile, ” May I know the reason why Princess Yao Ye is here this time? ‘
” Sir Xiao Yan has helped the emperor's family remove the whip. Do we still need a reason to come and visit? ” The pretty eyes of Yao Ye stopped at Xiao Yan and laughed with a somewhat restrained attitude.
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. He immediately stopped talking. He took the cup by his side and took a sip before raising his gaze slightly to stare at Yao Ye. He did not believe that/that the other party was actually here to visit because of his injuries.
The smile on Yao Ye's pretty face was maintained for a while Xiao Yan looked at her. Finally, he could only scatter it helplessly. He pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, ” I heard that/that Master Xiao Yan is planning to form a faction within the Jia Ma Empire? ‘
” Xiao Clan I have quite a number of enemies. It is only natural that one should have sufficient strength if I want to protect the clan members. ” Xiao Yan did not hide this matter as he replied faintly.
Yao Ye's eyes carefully studied Xiao Yan. A moment later, he softly said, ” Our imperial family will not object to mister Xiao Yan forming a faction. We can even help you. However, I hope that/that the Misty Cloud Sect problem will not happen again. ’
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes after hearing the solitude in Yao Ye's words. Since the other party had already made his words clear, there was no longer any need for him to avoid that matter. She immediately spoke in a deep voice, ’’ Princess Yao Ye, you can rest assured. Xiao Yan was not Yun Shan. As long as the imperial family does not secretly interfere with my Xiao clan, Xiao Yan will remember the kindness of the imperial family. ’
Yao Ye quietly sighed in relief in his heart when he saw the face of Xiao Yan's tomb. He smiled and said, ’Yao Ye naturally believes in the character of Mr. Xiao Yan. Now that the Misty Cloud Sect has disbanded, the Jia Ma Empire also needs a powerful faction to become the representative of the Jia Ma Empire. From the looks of the present situation, Mister Xiao Yan was naturally the best choice. ’
Xiao Yan smiled and said, ” It is only natural for the best that the imperial family does not oppose. We all fought with each other. I also don't want to change int kamio's relationship is very rigid due to some problems. It was not good for anyone .. for the matter regarding the establishment of the faction, I will talk to Yao Ye's daughter in detail if there is news of it in the future. ’
Yao Ye nodded and said, ” Then, I will quietly wait for the positive news. ” Yao Ye stood up after she spoke. He waved his hand and ten jade boxes appeared on the table. He smiled and said, ‘’All these are things that my great-grandfather asked me to bring. Mister Xiao Yan, you yourself are a high-level Alchemist. I think there shouldn't be much trouble with regards to injuries inside your body. In addition, these medicinal ingredients may be useful to you. There are still things in the imperial city so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye to.”
Yao Ye turned around and slowly left as soon as those words sounded. A moment later, he disappeared from the sight of Xiao Yan and the others.
Xiao Yan sent Yao Ye's daughter away with his gaze before he stood up and walked over to the side of the table. He opened the jade boxes and a rich medicinal fragrance immediately pounced, causing his eyebrows to rise slightly. The imperial family is generous.
” It seems that the imperial family does not have much conflict with this issue. ” Xiao Yan smiled and spoke as his gaze glanced at the jade box. Although the current Xiao Yan was not afraid of the imperial family when comparing experts, but the latter was still the true controller of a country. It is still a bit troublesome to come into conflict with them.
” Not because they did not have many contradictions to the idea, but that was because there were quite a number of experts beside Xiao Yan whom they feared. Otherwise, they would definitely do all they could to stop us. ’’ Xiao Ding laughs faintly. The imperial family of the Jia Ma Empire was naturally much more fearful and cautious after the matter of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Xiao Yan also smiled slightly after hearing the conversation of the two people. He said, ’It's okay if they don't have any other thoughts whatever happens. This way, we will avoid a lot of trouble while forming a faction. ’
” Of course, the Qi Method and Dou Technique should not be lacking if one wishes to nurture experts belonging to the alliance. We can try to see if we can get some large factions to provide this together. ’
’Just leave things like the Qi Method and Dou Technique to me. Big brother, you can do what you want with regards to the establishment of the faction. I don't specialize in these things. ’Xiao Yan smiled. After obtaining Han Feng and Yao Lao's treasures one after another, it didn't seem to be a problem for him to impart some Qi Methods and Dou Techniques.
Xiao Ding helplessly shook his head when he heard Xiao Yan's words. He said, ’You little boy. You are actually thinking of becoming a responsible person who does nothing now ... That's right, how is your injury? ’
” I should be able to fully recover after a few days. ’’Xiao Yan smiled as he replied.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. The latter raised his head and laughed, ‘’I may be heading to’ Black-Corner Region ‘after your injury recovers. Anyway, ‘Xo’ Gate there I need to manage. Otherwise, everyone on ‘The Xiao’ Gate will leave the next time I return.
”Yes. From what the two of you said, ‘Xiao Gate’ has some of the freshest individuals that Jia Nan Academy provides. His future potential will definitely be very strong. Although ‘Black-Corner Region’ is chaotic, there are quite a number of advantages to be gained from it. If it is possible to expand ‘Xiao Gate’ in the future and manage to occupy a certain position within ‘Black-Corner Region’, chances are it will become a fearsome faction. After we wait until the factions within the Jia Ma Empire develop in the future and then merge the two, we will definitely be able to compete with the first-rate factions within the Dou Qi Continent. ’’ Xiao Ding voiced his thoughts.
Xiao Yan also slightly nodded. Students who were able to graduate from the Inner Academy were mostly people with great training talent. If it was possible to gather them and make them their subordinates, it was likely that they would become an elite army with a lot of potential. He never doubted the potential of ‘Gate Xiao’.
A female servant hurriedly walked in while Xiao Yan and his two brothers were discussing. He respectfully spoke from the doorway, ‘’Young Master Xiao Yan. Nalan xiao-jie (Young Miss) is at the main entrance saying that/that she has something important to say and needs to meet you. ’
Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard this. Nalan xiao-jie was naturally Nalan Yanran. Why is he looking for her?
” Invite him in. ” Doubt flashed in his eyes as Xiao Yan ruled gently.
’’Hei, is that Nalan Yanran? By the way, brother and I have never seen this person who was almost our brother-in-law .. ” Xiao Li's voice suddenly cooled as she looked behind the female servant who had left. It seemed like he was holding a grudge over how Nalan Yanran cancelled the engagement back then.
’They grudges were settled three years ago. No need to keep it in your heart. ’’Xiao Ding knit her brows and spoke in a deep voice. It seemed that he was extremely displeased at Xiao Li for mentioning this matter in front of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Li shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. He leaned back in his chair and his gaze lazily swept across the main door.
Three people waited in the hall for a while before the female servant from the beginning came. Behind him was a graceful and partially visible figure.
The two figures stopped in front of the entrance. The female servant bowed and retreated while Nalan Yanran, whose body was wrapped in cloud-colored clothes, slowly approached. His gaze swept over the three people in the living room before finally stopping at Xiao Yan with a somewhat chaotic expression.
’’ Nalan xiao-jie, is there any reason for you to visit the Xiao clan? ’’ Xiao Yan gently put down his teacup. His eyes were lowered as he spoke.
Nalan Yanran bit her lower lip with the back of her teeth with a cold and indifferent face like Xiao Yan. He finally opened his mouth a moment later, ’’ Teacher wants to meet you one last time. ’
” Meet me for the last time? ” Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He slowly clenched his fists and his voice gradually turned cold and cold, ” You better not tell me that/that he has done something stupid. I already told you that/that I can still find all the Misty Cloud Sect disciples even though they have been scattered! ’
Nalan Yanran's eyebrows were fused together. He said, ’Teacher wouldn't do such a thing. Follow me if you're willing to see it. There may be no future opportunities if you don't want to. ’’ Nalan Yanran did not wait for Xiao Yan to reply after he spoke. He turned around and walked out of the mansion.
Xiao Yan knit his brows. A moment later, he stood up and threw his gaze at Xiao Li at the side. He threw with his hand and a scroll was thrown to the last one, ” Second brother, you should try to collect all of these medicinal ingredients. I'm very useful to them. Don't delay!”
Xiao Li was shocked when he received the scroll. He looked at the flickering within Xiao Yan's gaze and seemed to have understood something. He immediately nodded without leaving a trace.
Xiao Yan said a few words to the two of them after handing the scroll over to Xiao Li. He immediately followed Nalan Yanran with quick steps. The words he carried caused his face to become a little gloomy. What did he think he would do again?
