...
Yan Xiaobao arrived at the Xiao Mansion in the city, landing in front of the entrance. It was easy for him to descend from the sky, but he did not wish to be rude to a man who was once a good friend.
"Who's there?!" soone shouted, as Yan Xiaobao saw two tall n appear guarding the door. They were at least two ters tall, with broad shoulders, legs like logs, and arms like thick branches. Their muscles bulged beneath bronze-tanned skin, and their faces were full of vigilance.
"I'm Xiao Ning's friend," Yan Xiaobao quickly introduced himself, surprised by the stature of the two tall guards. Although he often t Xiao Ning, the latter would typically co to his mansion, dispatching servants if Yan Xiaobao needed him. This was his first visit to the Xiao Family's ho.
"Tell Xiao Ning, Yan Xiaobao is here," he continued, nodding. Hearing Yan Xiaobao's na, the two tall guards looked at him in an entirely different way, an expression of reverence and doubt erged.
One of them quickly gathered himself and bowed deeply to the small man in front of him, then rushed into the mansion to find the Clan Leader.
Xiao Ning was busy with renovations inside the mansion and had ordered not to be disturbed, so he was sowhat annoyed when one of the guards still entered; however, when he heard Yan Xiaobao was standing outside, his face shone with a warm smile.
"Quick! Invite him in! Bring him to my private library!" Xiao Ning shouted before quickly going to change clothes, and then headed to the library.
Yan Xiaobao was led into the mansion, and as soon as he entered, he felt the fluctuation of Qi as family mbers cultivated and trained in the courtyard. He looked around at the nurous n walking through the yard. It seed everyone in the Xiao Family was much bigger than Yan Xiaobao. Even their young ones were tall and burly.
Many of them looked at Yan Xiaobao curiously. They were Xiao Ning's family, and it was evident they knew who this white-haired young man was. He filled their hearts with awe and curiosity.
Though he saw muscle-bound n everywhere, he quickly noticed there were not that many people; it was simply that all of them were so large. Realizing this, he couldn't help but chuckle. Even though Yan Xiaobao was confident in his own strength, he wasn't as physically imposing as these n. "I really hope you don't beco so big," Lan Feng's dry voice echoed in his mind.
"I'd be very embarrassed to continue sharing a body with you," he continued, making Yan Xiaobao laugh again.
"Honestly, you've trained your strength. Look at these n; they may appear strong, but even all together, they could never touch the hem of your garnt. Compared to you, even the healthiest-looking among them lacks primal power.
Lan Feng argued strongly about why Yan Xiaobao shouldn't try to look like these people, his argunts repeatedly making Yan Xiaobao laugh inwardly. Laughing out loud would easily be seen as an insult to these hardworking n, so he maintained a professional deanor outside.
Passing through them, they reached the main building and entered. In stark contrast to the outside, there was no one inside. The lighting was dim, and the air seed suffocated, as if the mansion's interior was rarely used.
Entering the mansion, they finally arrived at a library where Xiao Ning was sitting. He was evidently trained, as his entire body was taut, and his skin glowed from the energy roaming beneath it.
"Yue!" he shouted excitedly upon seeing Yan Xiaobao enter, then imdiately hoisted the small man to his chair. It was evident he was filled with pride. Yan Xiaobao's visit was unexpected for him.
Seeing his friend's excitent, Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for never visiting before, but he quickly dismissed these feelings.
"Sorry for interrupting your training," he casually began, but Xiao Ning shook his head. "Friends are more important than cultivation, because you ca here, I can only imagine sothing important has happened, or an important event will occur," he said, and Yan Xiaobao nodded. Though Xiao Ning was a cultivator focused on physical strength, he was not foolish. Seeing Yan Xiaobao, how could he not guess sothing would happen?
"Although I haven't visited you before, this ti I have so information I need to tell you."
"I am going to leave Muchuan City. There are things I must attend to that can no longer be delayed," Yan Xiaobao sighed. "Unfortunately, during this journey, I cannot take you or the other three; I need you four to remain in Muchuan City for various reasons. First, I wish you four to continue supporting the Princess. If she loses her support due to my departure, we will be at a disadvantage when I return ho."
"How long will you be gone?" Xiao Ning asked, frowning, and Yan Xiaobao smiled wryly and shook his head. "I'm not sure," he admitted honestly. "It could take months to years. I really don't know how long I'll be gone, but when I leave, I know I can leave everything to you all."
Seeing the slightly thoughtful Xiao Ning nod. "What does years an to us Saints?" After a while, he asked with a smile. "Although you will be gone for a while, what does this an to brothers like us? Don't worry, I will ensure that Muchuan City remains unchanged when you leave."
