RNP Chapter 16 Xiao Zheng, I've avenged you.
Chapter 16 Xiao Zheng, I've avenged you.
As soon as Xiao Zheng stepped out of the market, he noticed someone following him suspiciously.
He sneered, quickened his pace, and soon left Qingshan Town.
Then Muli followed closely behind!
Xiao Zheng wasn't in a hurry and continued walking towards Wutan City.
He knew that only by making it realistic enough could he dispel the other party's doubts to the greatest extent.
After walking for about two hours, Xiao Zheng finally lost sight of the person who had been following him.
However, he was in no hurry to turn back, as it would be bad if the person following him was lying in wait.
Xiao Zheng stayed in the countryside until the sky began to lighten before taking off and destroying the monkey-face mask and turning back.
When Xiao Zheng returned to Wan Yao Zhai, the sun was already high in the sky.
As soon as he reached the vicinity of the alchemy room, he saw Little Fairy Doctor curled up on the steps in front of the alchemy room, her head nodding, clearly asleep.
She was wearing only a thin white dress, and the morning dew dampened her hair and the hem of her dress.
Xiao Zheng felt a pang of heartache.
Judging from her appearance, Little Fairy Doctor probably stayed here all night.
He walked forward quietly, and just as he was about to wake Little Fairy Doctor, he saw that she had woken up on her own.
"Well……"
Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she saw Xiao Zheng return, a look of joy immediately appeared on her pretty face: "You're back."
Xiao Zheng crouched down, looking at her wet hair, his tone full of concern: "Why did you fall asleep here?"
Little Fairy Doctor yawned, stretched, revealing her slender waist, and mumbled, "I think so."
She waved her hand: "You don't need to feel bad, okay? After all, you provoked Mu Li for my sake, so I have to make sure you're alright, right?"
With that, Little Fairy Doctor stood up and dusted herself off: "Now that you're back, I'll leave the affairs of the Myriad Medicines Hall to you for now."
"The Imperial Offerings of Wan Yao Zhai!"
She yawned and staggered away.
Watching her retreating figure, Xiao Zheng shook his head helplessly, wondering to himself, "Does this count as having spent the night with Little Fairy Doctor?"
He pushed open the door of the alchemy room and went in. Without wasting any time, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began his cultivation practice for the day.
At the same time, at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's stronghold in Qingshan Town.
Muli was sitting at the dining table, picking at his food while pouring out his grievances to the middle-aged man opposite him.
The middle-aged man had a rugged face and sharp eyes. He was Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and Mu Li's father, a two-star Dou Shi.
"Dad, you have no idea how arrogant that guy is!"
"Not only did they ruin my plans, but they also threw me into... a bucket of water to humiliate me!" Mu Li said through gritted teeth, his face still contorted with anger.
He embellished his account of last night's events, concluding with a vicious snarl: "That guy claimed to be Xiao Yan, the young master of the Xiao family in Wutan City! I must take revenge!"
Mu She put down his chopsticks, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Xiao Yan? The Xiao family of Wutan City?"
Muli nodded: "That's what he said."
Mu She frowned slightly: "He might be trying to trick you because he's afraid you'll find him."
"Under normal circumstances, who would introduce themselves like that?"
Mu Li's expression changed immediately. If that kid really was lying to him, how could he get revenge?
However, Zhang San went to chase after that kid and hasn't returned yet. Only when Zhang San returns can we confirm whether Xiao Yan's identity is real or not.
Mu Li then told him about Zhang San.
Mu She nodded, said nothing more, and simply picked up his bowl and chopsticks to continue eating.
Not long after, a young man came running in, panting. It was Zhang San, who had been following Xiao Zheng the night before.
Zhang San clasped his hands in greeting to the Mu family father and son: "Young Commander, Commander!"
Upon seeing Zhang San return, Mu Li hurriedly asked, "What was the result?"
Zhang San, panting, said, "Yesterday I followed that kid out of Qingshan Town, heading towards Wutan City, and it took us almost two hours!"
"Later I thought, there's no point in just following along like this, so I might as well stay where I am and wait."
"If Xiao Yan was lying, he would definitely turn back once he saw that no one was following him."
"But I waited until dawn, and I still didn't see Xiao Yan again."
A glint flashed in Mu Li's eyes: "It seems that Xiao Yan has indeed returned to Wutan City."
He slammed his hand on the table and said to Mu She, "Father! That guy is Xiao Yan from Wutan City! You must help me get revenge!"
Mu She's expression gradually turned serious: "If that kid really is Xiao Yan, you'd better not think about this grudge anymore."
Muli was greatly surprised: "Why?!"
Mu She looked helpless: "I visited Wutan City in my early years and know a little about the Xiao family."
"The Xiao family is one of the three major families in Wutan City, with many experts within the family, and the patriarch is a Great Dou Master."
"If Xiao Yan is indeed the young master of the Xiao family, with our strength, we wouldn't even be enough to kill Xiao Yan's father alone."
Muli looked unwilling: "But Father..."
"No buts!"
Mu She interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument, "This matter is over. Don't mention revenge again!"
Mu Li's face turned bright red, but he dared not disobey his father's orders and could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
After leaving the room, Mu Li couldn't help but smash a tree in the yard while roaring, "Xiao Yan!"
"You better never let me see you again! Otherwise, the next time we meet will be when you're torn to pieces!"
……
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Wutan City, the small grove behind the Xiao family's house.
"drink!"
With a low shout, Xiao Yan leaped up, his right fist, imbued with dense Dou Qi, slamming fiercely into the large tree in front of him.
The fist whistled through the air, displaying the full power of the Xuan-rank advanced combat skill, Eight Extremes Collapse.
boom!
After a dull, loud thud, the large tree, which was at least half a centimeter in diameter, crashed to the ground, splinters flying everywhere from the broken end.
Xiao Yan looked at the fallen tree, his handsome face filled with joy.
He felt the surging fighting energy within his body and thought to himself, "This Eight Extremes Collapse is indeed domineering."
"With my sixth-stage Battle Qi, I can actually unleash destructive power comparable to an eighth-stage Battle Qi!"
After his initial joy, his eyes narrowed as he remembered something.
It's time to avenge Xiao Zheng!
Xiao Yan turned around and walked down the mountain.
He hadn't gone far when he encountered Xiao Ke and his followers on the mountain path.
Xiao Ke leaned against a tree trunk and, seeing Xiao Yan approaching, chuckled, "Oh, isn't this our young master Xiao Yan?"
"What's wrong? Why aren't you staying home? Why are you out here in the mountains getting some fresh air?"
Xiao Yan stopped, his eyes calm: "I came to find you."
"Looking for me?"
Xiao Ke raised an eyebrow, sizing up Xiao Yan. "What, what do you want with me, you piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi?"
Xiao Yan said calmly, "A few months ago, you forced Xiao Zheng to leave."
"Today, I've come to seek justice for him."
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Ke laughed loudly, "You? Xiao Yan, don't think that just because your father is the clan leader, I won't dare to touch you."
"Be smart and get lost, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Xiao Yan's tone remained calm, "This is my private matter and has nothing to do with my father."
Xiao Ke's smile vanished, his eyes turning sinister: "Are you really courting death?"
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Really?"
A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Ke's eyes: "Fine, then I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed forward and pounced on Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ke was already at the sixth level of Dou Qi, which was quite good among the younger generation of the clan. He was absolutely confident that he could deal with Xiao Yan, who was only at the third level.
As the fist struck, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed. His internal fighting spirit surged, and he instantly activated the Eight Extremes Collapse technique.
"Well done!"
Xiao Yan let out a low shout and slammed his right fist against Xiao Ke's fist.
boom!
The two fists collided with a loud bang.
The confidence on Xiao Ke's face froze instantly, replaced by unbelievable, excruciating pain.
He felt a violent force coming from Xiao Yan's fist, his arm went numb instantly, and he was sent flying backward uncontrollably.
silence.
Along the mountain path, several members of the Xiao family who were passing by were stunned.
No one expected that Xiao Yan, once considered a good-for-nothing, could defeat Xiao Ke with a single punch!
Xiao Yan didn't even glance at Xiao Ke again, and turned to look at the sky.
Xiao Zheng, I've avenged you!
Involuntarily, the image of Xiao Zheng standing in front of him a few months ago, engaging in a verbal battle with the other Xiaos, resurfaced in his mind.
In Xiao Yan's memory, that figure seemed to have become even more imposing!
