Battle Through the Heavens: Bound to Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er Forces Me to Consummate the Marriage

Chapter 23 The Shock of the Medicine Master, 3 Thunderclaps!

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Xiao Zhan looked somewhat embarrassed.

Yun Yun's expression remained unchanged.

Nalan Yanran's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Should we make them wait?

Xiao Chen has such a big ego.

Her teacher was the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, a Douhuang-level powerhouse. Everyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire treated him with utmost respect.

Xiao Chen actually made them wait?

"Clan Chief Xiao, what does Xiao Chen mean by this?" Nalan Yanran couldn't help but ask.

"Does he even know who my teacher is?"

Xiao Zhan quickly said, "Sect Master Yun, Miss Nalan, I'm so sorry."

"Chen'er... he might be cultivating and it's inconvenient for him to come over."

"Why don't you sit down first, and I'll go and have someone urge them again?"

Yun Yun waved her hand, "No need."

She looked at Xiao Zhan and said calmly, "We'll just wait."

Nalan Yanran opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Yun Yun's expression, she swallowed her words back.

She gritted her teeth and said nothing more.

Xiao Zhan quickly ordered tea to be served and arranged for Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran to sit down.

The hall fell silent; no one spoke.

Yunyun held her teacup, her expression calm, lost in thought.

Nalan Yanran sat to the side, her face looking rather unpleasant.

In all her years at the Yunlan Sect, she had never been treated so poorly.

I came to the Xiao family today, but Xiao Chen actually left me hanging here.

Nalan Yanran was dissatisfied, but since the teacher hadn't said anything, she didn't dare to say anything more.

They could only sit there and wait for Xiao Chen to finish his cultivation.

The atmosphere in the Xiao family hall was somewhat somber.

Nalan Yanran sat in a chair, holding a teacup, her face full of dissatisfaction.

She waited for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but Xiao Chen still hadn't arrived.

"Uncle Xiao, when exactly will Xiao Chen arrive?"

Nalan Yanran put down her teacup and asked.

"I've already sent someone to urge them, it should be done soon," Xiao Zhan said hurriedly.

"Soon?" Nalan Yanran sneered. "We've already waited for an incense stick's time, how much longer?"

"Xiao Chen is so arrogant, making my teacher wait for him here."

Xiao Zhan looked somewhat embarrassed, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Yanran," Yun Yun said calmly, "Sit down."

"Teacher, I'm right," Nalan Yanran said. "Even if Xiao Chen has some strength, he shouldn't treat you so disrespectfully, should he?"

"You came to visit him in person, and he actually made you wait? What kind of behavior is that?"

"Sit down." Yun Yun glanced at her.

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and sat down anyway.

But she was still unconvinced and muttered, "What I said is the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside the hall.

It's Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan walked into the hall and saw Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran; his expression changed slightly.

He glanced at Nalan Yanran, then looked away.

"Father," Xiao Yan said as he walked up to Xiao Zhan.

"Yan'er, what brings you here?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"I heard that people from the Yunlan Sect have arrived, so I came to check it out," Xiao Yan said.

Nalan Yanran's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing Xiao Yan.

She didn't have a good impression of Xiao Yan. The last time she came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, the two had a very unpleasant argument.

"Xiao Yan, you've come at the right time," Nalan Yanran said. "Your third brother, Xiao Chen, is quite arrogant, making my teacher wait for him here."

"Does he even know who my teacher is?"

Xiao Yan looked at her and said calmly, "My third brother is cultivating and doesn't have time to come. You can wait here."

Nalan Yanran's face darkened. "What did you say?"

"I told you to wait," Xiao Yan said. "Since it was my third brother who made you wait, if you have any complaints, keep them to yourself."

"You!" Nalan Yanran suddenly stood up.

"Yanran," Yun Yun said.

"Teacher, it's him."

"Sit down." Yun Yun's voice turned colder.

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and sat down.

Xiao Yan glanced at her but said nothing more.

He felt deeply grateful to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen helped him a lot during this time.

We'll give you combat skills, elixirs, cultivation techniques, and magic cores.

Xiao Chen is truly good to his younger brother.

Now that someone is dissatisfied with Xiao Chen, he naturally has to stand up and defend him.

……

Yunyun put down her teacup and stood up.

"Clan Chief Xiao, since Xiao Chen is cultivating and unable to come over, I will visit him in person."

Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Sect Master Yun, this..."

"It's alright," Yun Yun said. "Lead the way."

Xiao Zhan nodded. "Sect Master Yun, please."

He turned and walked out of the hall, and Yunyun followed him.

Nalan Yanran also quickly stood up and followed behind Yun Yun.

She became even more dissatisfied.

Xiao Chen made them wait, and now he wants them to come find him in person.

This is way too big.

But the teacher had already made her decision, and her objections were useless.

I had no choice but to go along.

Xiao Yan followed, wanting to see how his third brother's cultivation was progressing.

……

The group walked through several corridors and arrived at a side courtyard.

Xiao Zhan pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

Yun Yun followed behind, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a figure flashing in the courtyard.

The figure was incredibly fast, moving from one end of the courtyard to the other in almost an instant.

Each flash leaves an afterimage.

Before the afterimage had even faded, the person had already arrived at another place.

Nalan Yanran's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"What... what kind of movement technique is this?"

She had never seen such speed before.

Even her teacher, Yun Yun, probably couldn't move that fast.

"Third Brother's speed is too fast," Xiao Yan murmured, his eyes filled with shock.

He knew Xiao Chen was strong, but he didn't expect Xiao Chen's movement technique to be so terrifying.

The voice of Yao Lao also rang out from the ring on Xiao Yan's finger.

"Xiao Yan, do you know what kind of movement technique your third brother is practicing?"

Xiao Yan shook his head, guessing it might be the advanced level of the Profound Rank.

"High-level Xuan rank? It's at least a movement technique of Earth rank or higher."

"Above the Earth Rank?" Xiao Yan asked in his heart. "Teacher, are you sure?"

"I'm sure," said the old doctor. "I've lived for so many years and seen quite a few movement techniques and fighting skills, so I naturally wouldn't be mistaken."

Xiao Yan gasped.

Earth-rank movement technique?

What does that mean?

In the entire Gama Empire, there are very few Earth-rank combat techniques to be found.

His third brother actually possesses a level-one movement technique.

"Xiao Yan, your third brother is no ordinary person," Yao Lao said.

"Moreover, this movement technique and fighting style... has quite a connection with an old friend of mine. I wonder where you, my third brother, obtained it from."

Xiao Yan nodded, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Xiao Chen's figure.

……

Inside the courtyard, Xiao Chen's figure continued to flicker.

His speed increased, and his afterimages became more and more numerous.

His shadow filled the entire courtyard, making it impossible to distinguish which one was his real body.

Yun Yun stood to the side, watching Xiao Chen's movements, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

She had seen many movement techniques and fighting skills, but she had never seen anything this fast.

This Xiao Chen is indeed no simple man.

Nalan Yanran stood behind Yun Yun, her dissatisfaction long since vanished.

Instead, there was an overwhelming sense of shock.

She hadn't believed Xiao Chen was a Dou Huang level expert before, thinking the information was wrong.

But now, seeing Xiao Chen's movements, she believed it.

This kind of speed is definitely not something an ordinary person can achieve.

Only a Dou Huang, or even stronger, can achieve such speed.

Nalan Yanran took a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart.

She felt a little scared when she thought about what she had said in the hall earlier.
